It's funny. Robert Mugabe is the opposite of those things. He was an asshole. It's a lie. It adds to the lies and good portrayal. Stop reverting it. It isn't Irony and that's what the page is. Zimbabwe editor who you reverted today

Wales Speaks Exclusively to UnSignpost!
When pressed on these vital issues, Jimbo confided to us: "You kids get offa my pipe! Now, where's my lawn?" These are words that every user will interpret in their own special way - Jimbo, like all great orators, has the ability to make profound pronouncements that each and every listener will put their own unique spin on, so that it seems he is talking to them alone. Whatever pearl of wisdom you find in this oracular utterance, we are sure it is exactly what you were intended to find. Crowning Acheevement
Rules < Funny: The Essay
Is it a Usergroup if there are no Users Grouped in it?
In January 2009, archaeologists from the Philippines dug through the ruins of the usergroups and found compelling evidence that there is still a small amount of activity in the UNSOC group, whose interim leader Necropaxx was heard to observe "UNSOC has about 3 or so active users right now; we just keep that gigantic list to inflate our numbers". The non-existent Cabal have not made any comment about this being a dastardly plan of theirs to ensure the "golden Age" of Uncyclopedia 2005-2007 remains sacrosanct. Because they don't exist, obviously. |

Hi, Sycamore. Was that little piece I added to Nunavut really not funny? I actually thought it was about the only thing in that article that was. Let me know, please. Clemens177 22:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

You seem to know what's what around here. If it's not too much trouble, could you click on my name, which will take you to a list of my articles, then tell me if I have any hope around here?
Thanks,

Newb Article: Plumage
Greetings and Salutations Sycamore! You commented on my work (added a fix tag) so I've come back for revenge for you to adopt me; maybe? I'd like some feedbacks & stuffs if you please. (Basically wanted to know what you thought needed to be fixed other than the low quantity of funny.) Was the page too snarky? Needing of less humour and more humor? I even made a discussion page for it here. Thanks! ~ Avast Matey!!! Happytimes are here!* ~ ~ 01:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've taken the fix off, looking a lot better now, needs moar links and pics. When you're at a good stage check out our Pee Review where you can get some tips to make it better. I'm not taking on any new adoptees for a little while as I am very busy and I would not make a good adopter for a newbie at the moment. Hope this helps:)--Sycamore (Talk) 08:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hell's Yeah it helps a lot! Links are a good suggestion; I was hoping someone else would do it, but... *sigh* I CAN DO IT! *grin* I KNOW it needs more pics, but I have no idea what other than a jumble of plumage, vinyl siding and muscle cars.

Question Regarding NHL Article
Hello and thanks for the greeting you gave me a while back when I registered on Uncyclopedia. Along with some other creative users, I've been making edits to improve the NHL article. It now has a 5 star rating (and no, I definitely wasn't the only one who rated it!) and a lot of good content. However, there have been some stupid edits made to the article -- and almost all of them have been made by unregistered users (or at least users who did not log in when making the edits), because only the IP addresses are given next to those edits in the article's history. By stupid edits, I'm referring to people making completely irrelevant and unfunny remarks in the article and failing to edit images correctly so that they end up being replaced by incomplete "code" for images. Is there a way to semi-protect the article by restricting edits to registered users who have signed on? I think this will help protect the article against stupid edits. DAK4Blizzard 04:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that can easily be done, but I lack the awesomeness. Try Under user or Mordillo and they should be able to help you with that:)--Sycamore (Talk) 08:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Pages can easily be protected in that fashion, but we generally only do it in the case of persistent vandalism. What you mention isn't really vandalism, it's more good faith edits by people who don't really know what they're doing, or who haven't got up to speed with "funny" properly. So I'm inclined not to semi-protect it right now. If the IP edits get worse and become a serious problem, let me know, I'll be happy to protect it in a jiffy, but right now I'm not seeing enough reason to. Fair? --UU - natter 10:04, May 19

No, you don't. You don't have ANY feelings toward your fellow Uncyclopedians. Because (once again) you overprotect the article and leave only the stuff that YOU think is funny, not what everyone thinks is. Many funny references could've been made, if it wasn't for your uniformity of humour. And this has already been discussed, Sycamore. I'm not walking down the same plank again with you.

Telling You Stuff You Already Knew, But With Different Words!
May 21st, 2009 • Issue 48 • I've seen news you... people wouldn't believe
Glorious Cajek return story
People disappearing, people reappearing, people with little time on their hands, bots unavailable In the mean time, fortunately, several other users have made glorious returns to Uncyclopedia. As documented elsewhere, a Cajek is apparently back and doing stuff. MNM5150 has been doing some things around places, mostly the forums. Readmesoon has been spotted at VFH and a few talkpages. Yettie has been sporadically active. And Todd Lyons has been doing more stuff recently than he was doing less recently. A lot of users seem to be unable to contribute as their work/school requires them to spend their time on "useful" things. The more young adult users/little kids seem to be struggling with certain "finals", like Mahm00shA for instance. SysRq appears to be working on his graduation. Statistics show that Hyperbole's activity has been rather low, but recently increased dramatically. For how long this trend will continue is uncertain. UU has been here intermittently, but keeps proclaiming himself to be "busy". He commented "I don't have time. In fact, I may not even have time for banning and deleting today, things are going fucking nuts! [...] I have teetering mounds of work, and nowhere near enough time! Arrrrrgh! (I almost feel a second exclamation mark coming on, but nothing's that bad...)" He then proved himself to be a big fat liar by editing this story and various other bits of the UnSignpost. Additionally, while Wikipedia is being overrun by bots, they seem to have gone completely extinct on Uncyclopedia. This has led to our beloved Socky becoming partly mechanized in order to fill the role of paperbot. However, he is currently planning to get his bot operational so he won't have to tire his arse off every week. Porn! Porn! Pr0n!
There has been somewhat of a controversy as of lately about the existence of supposed pornographic images on Uncyclopedia. Some support the view "Only if it's funny.", while others say "Meh." The controversy led Orian57 to put all his gay porn on QVFD. Optimuschris was quoted saying "I don't know what the fuss is all about, there's no porn on Uncyclopedia!" The discussion seems to have concluded in something like "If it's really bothering you and isn't funny in any way, delete it!" Mnbvcxz might also want to add that pictures showing prominent nudity could give rise to some legal issues, though he wasn't actually available for comment, so we can't really be sure. Usergroups! Usergroups! Usergroups!
War is raging in usergroup land. IC, suffering major losses, has been grinded to a halt and was forced into defensive strategy, regressing to trench warfare. But UNSOC, with masses of new recruits, has declared an all out war against any potential competition. Meanwhile, a new powerful group has arisen, Der Unwehr, and they have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The Goa Tse Clan has gone into hiding and remains a mystery to most Uncyclopedians. "The End" is being foretold once more
Since this UnSignpost issue almost didn't make it to the press, it was inevitable that there would be foretellings of "The End" and it being "near". On Forum:Count to a million, Orian57 was found stating "we could all die [...] then how stupid would we look?" A lot of users made somewhat eccentric speculations on how several issues were related to this "impending doom". Multiliteralist, Cajek and Optimuschris posted the following "articles" in response to a request to write something for the UnSignpost. Porn and the impending doom As we all know, the impending doom to all good things is caused by porn. This vile practice of drawing pictures of naked women has spread so wide among our young men that it is almost impossible to get them to do anything else. User groups and the impending doom
No wai, the impending doom is caused by user groups! Impending doom and porn
Our porn! The usergroups are coming, and with them...impending doom! Treasure these last few mumble with your porn for the end is nigh! First person article about porn and impending doom I was in a usergroup, watching porn. Suddenly I understood watching porn in a usergroup would do nothing against the impending doom. I got rather stuck, and forgot the reason. Later, I forgot about the impending doom as well. That's what watching porn in a usergroup will do to you. Suddenly I understood: if you are the first person in a usergroup, nobody can make you watch porn. My advice
The perfect solution to problems with porn, usergroups, and the impending doom Form your own usergroup and make others watch porn! |

High School Girl
Hey, I've been here much longer than you have, don't tell me how the site works, also, I happen to have written that article, so I would like to maintain it being not shit. If you see the current version, you will undoubtedly notice many useless asides, such as an entire paragraph talking about boots. No satire, no jokes, just about boots. Completely unacceptable. So instead of doggedly undoing a GOOD ARTICLE, why not actually reading it first and see which is better and more coherent. Also, the list of quotes is fun. It stays.

In addition I plan to do so more should, should the opportunity arise at my place of work.

Umm... what do you mean, it needs to be expanded? It links to Portal:Science (sorry it doesn't but something links to it), and will be expanded when scientific news become available, and/or when I/someone else digs them up somewhere and twists them. It's mostly a dump for the newspieces that don't fit on the portal page. Will be, to be exact. Now it has part of what the Portal page has. By the way, the Hack article looked good, I had a look when I spotted reference to it in Mordillo's talk page. -- Style Guide 12:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- Cool, sorry I did not realize it was part of that, if you could add categories to all the subpages of these it would be helpful. I can create one for you, with any title you like. Thanks I'm glad you like my hack article, I felt that if I wrote about being a hack, it could not follow that I was one. I now realize how wrong I was;)--Sycamore (Talk) 12:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
- -if you could add categories to all the subpages of these it would be helpful <- you lost me with that one.
- You must be one of the 5 people here I haven't asked about co-writing. I'll ask now. How about it? I have about 17 ideas and 17.500 half-finished articles, but I can just as easily work on someone else's ideas. For me, it's somehow far more fun to work with others - I do a lot of stuff alone so it's change for me. Also, I've always made my best stuff with others. It's the instant feedback. Also also, it's the quickest way to get to see how others think, which is interesting. -- Style Guide 18:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
First bit: articles like this for your portals come up: Portal:Science/Promotion. It's helpful for all articles to be categorized at some level. Having pages sorted tends to improve content and keeps topics defined and hopefully a larger scale of imprvement can being as opposed to pockets of good stuff. It is also helpful in many other ways in catching vandals (though much less so now as there are many more active admins). I would be gratful if you and the whole portal project could help with this.
For collab, I like it. I'll be on holiday for a week from Saterday, but I think any stuff could be looked at now if you like:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 21:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost! May 28th, 2009
Good things come to those who wait. So does the UnSignpost.
May 28th, 2009 • Issue 49 • The kind of news your momma warned you about
Going Portal
What, some of you may ask, are portal pages? Well, rather than have us explain it laboriously for you (because that sounds like, you know, effort), why not take a look at the following highly sexy portals: Politics; Games; Science; History and Art. And with more to come including the intriguing concept of a Quaint portal from Cajek, one thing's for sure: there has recently been an increase in the number of portals on Uncyclopedia. What? Nile and Nile related articles invade Uncyclopedia! We also asked the wealthy Egyptian and Babylonian antique collector Mr. Great Lung Sphincter of Nebuchadnezzar the 1st to comment and he exclusively replied: "Nile doesn't have any power. Now the Tigris-Euphrates, that's a different story". Not only does this tell us that the Tigris-Euphrates conspiracy theorists are cooler than Nile conspiracists, but that Nile could not invade Uncyclopedia even if they wanted to, and you should be afraid of the Tigris-Euphrates conspiracy theorists - very afraid. To sum it up, there is no Nile and Nile related articles invasion of Uncyclopedia, just as there is no cabal. |

This wiki is wonderful!
You guys are too funny. You have too much time on your hands (which means I want to play too but may not be funny enough).
Thanks!
I just came by to thank all you. Because you did something I like to see in this newer generation, and that's appreciating those of us on the wrong side of 50. These days, getting featured isn't as easy as it used to be. Why, back in my day any ol' whippersnapper could throw something together and put it on the front page. Not anymore, not anymore at all. So I am glad to see myself on the front page of the good ol' wiki before I die. I guess its nothing big, but oh well. Anyways, I got to get back to helping Elmo now, so I better get going (he thinks his dresser is trying to kill him again.) |

Hey, question
How did you become a poopsmith? And if I wanted to become one, what would you recommend? Saberwolf116 00:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there, forgive the late reply... well... ummm... I think maybe you are asking a question that would be out of my place to answer. With admins, poopsmiths etc, I would always personally favour candidates that are highly active contributors in terms of high quality articles (RabbiTechno, Gerrycheevers), as this affects attitude and performance in such roles. I was chosen by Mordillo, after UU and MrN9500 were opped. To be frank it's just a glorified archiving job, and it's not really anything special. As a bit of wisdom, I would avoid this aspect of the site, the sorts who contribute a lot to these pages can often be misleading as to what this place is about, and VFD has become more of a hindrance as it (in my view) puts people off as it sets up a scenario that is progressively prohibitive to new creative article contributors. If you value my opinion I would stick to writing articles and avoid trying to be a 'maintenance user' - it's just a cheap front for people to say that they don't come to a wiki to write articles and they can win award templates. The way to look at it is that if you are unhappy with your current efforts, you've got everything to play for. As you go along and win some of the awards the pressure for your work to be gold goes up, and to some extent stops contributors from writing as much. Although discouraging of your current aims, I hope this helps - also congrats on RoTM:-)--Sycamore (Talk) 10:25, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Essentially what I said, only in much better wording. ~ 10:29, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

- Thanks for the advice, Syc. I appreciate it, but I think my problem is that I simply cannot write good articles. I like reviewing them, as it's sort of practice to be a film/game critic when i'm an adult, but I don't have much talent for creating them. So I think i'll stick to dominating PR, and forget the whole poopsmith thing. And seeing as how we're never gonna have another VFS, i'll forget that too. Appreciate the help, Syc.

UnSignpost June 4th, 2009
The Newspaper the Whole Family Must Enjoy!
June 4th, 2009 • Issue 50 • I love the smell of news in the morning!
Todd not Lionised by all?
Lyons himself was deeply touched by the tribute, exclusively telling the USP: "I'm a bit surprised (though not touched, like the WotM nomination this month), because I generally shy away from the snappy/nasty ban summaries that would guarantee me a spot in the UnSignpost. Really, RDB is my #1 pick for this, and richly deserves to have a hate group on Facebook (if not several dozen by now). :) Second, if I had any insecurities that I'd lost my touch with the ban hammer after being on hiatus, they're gone. The arm's feeling great. The surgery seems to have been a 100% success. I'm feeling good that I'll be able to finish out the season and hopefully garner some interest as a bureaucrat when I become a free agent this fall." The group's creator was unavailable for comment, probably due to being banned. Comings and Goings As you may or may not have noticed, there recently seems to be a flurry of returns and hiatuses (hiati?) on this silly wiki that some of us like to call Uncyclopedia. This could be due to a number of things: the end of the school year and thus the end of studying and finals; the summer season causing new and strange emotions in internet comedy writers; the revolving door recently installed at the Uncyclopedia headquarters. Regardless of the reason, those returning have been 'welcomed', and those leaving have been warned that their userpages will be mercilessly vandalized should their vacation extend overly long. Popular aquatic creature user Finnius claims to have returned. His contributions since returning have thus far been limited to announcing his return in the forum (as required by Uncyclopedia Bylaw #435), but the Unsignpost is confident of a return laced with quality pee and other, less pungent useful contributions. The elusive Cajek, a mythical creature once thought to exist only in the surreal dreams of squirrels, has returned gloriously upon the back of a giant squirrel. So at least some part of the myth was true. Take that, science! Other returns include Dexter111344 after a brief hiatus and Gouncyclopedia!, who evaded a years-long block to announce his return in the forums (UB435 again). Perhaps the most noted of all, faithful new dog Dognewspaper returns from a one-month hiatus to appear in this story. Other users have seen a decline or all-out drop-off in their contribution level. SysRq remains on an indefinite hiatus. Gerrycheevers has seen his number of edits dwindle as of late. MrN9500 is still among the missing. Codeine is apparently gone as well, and Necropaxx will be losing his precious internet. We bid these users to hurry back, lest their userpages and works be smited with the hammer of pointless vandalism. |

Heteros?
Here's the link: User:Multiliteralist/The_only_true_heteros. I have been thinking about Albert Camus but I have trouble coming up with anything funny about a real person, barring nonsense. I think satire works easier if the angle is shifted a bit more. If you have other ideas you want to co-write, I'll participate. -- Style Guide 11:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- I've started on the only true hetros one - obviously anything that you don't like, just change or remove. i'm hunting down an image or two, looks like it might by quite a tidy little aritcle we could have.--Sycamore (Talk) 14:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- I read it through - what if we used more scientific language instead of "buggery" and so forth? Otherwise looks good, the start is complicated enough to throw the reader off track a bit, and then the punchline just lands out of nowhere. Could be slightly more coherent but let's not force that, vague is quite OK too. I couldn't yet find a good link for the Dr. Beverley reference - I guess we'll just have to leave it for the reader to remember. I have the DVD, if I have the guts I'll watch it some day and find out which song it is where he delivers his immortal wisdom. He's such a sorry sight that the video is not very amusing though. -- Style Guide 18:54, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
May I ask why?
Forest Whitaker's Lazy Eye. It has had a Pee Review on it, then fixed up and made better. Got a decent enough score on it as well. Can you help me understand why you placed a fix-up tag on it? Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 17:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- I added it on the basis that it seemed to be below par, it does not really parody or make fun of Forest Whitaker, it just a mentally challenged splurge about his eye. I'm sure you can put more effort into your work than this. Uncyclopedia is funny and not just stupid. I hope there can be mutual agreement on this, and I'm sure you'll agree this material would fit better on a wiki whose intention was to be solely random or defamatory. In answer to your first question yes you may, and I hope I have made my reasons clear.--Sycamore (Talk) 21:33, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, your reasons are clear. I do, however, disagree. I find this piece quite funny. It is nothing that I would expect to get VFH'd. It is, as you put it, too random for that. I do, however, find it as a perfectly good, comedic piece on this site. However, I will do my best to answer your qualms.
- "it does not really parody or make fun of Forest Whitaker, it just a mentally challenged splurge about his eye."
- Somehow, I doubt you could get past the first section of this article if you truly think this piece is just about the eye. The piece is meant to be a parody of two things. One: Old school uncyc, with its penchant for vandalism and saying very very stupid stuff about something, in this case Mr. Whitaker's eye, which, as I mention in the piece, is actually a genetic condition. Second, it is a parody of Whitaker and actors in general. The Forest that I created for this piece is well spoken and down to earth, which stands in stark contrast to the idiots from section 1, but at the same time a little cocky and self-important. However, it would seem that when he wrote this, his knowledge of the site goes far enough as to link to his real page. Here, he sees a problem. There is not an actual page on this site for "Forest Whitaker". (Herein lies another joke. Whitaker is very very self-important and assured of his importance, then sees that this website doesn't even have an article on him, and that his lazy eye is more famous around here. This does come as a shock to him. For someone who thinks that they are so important, but finds out that they are not really important at all, this would be ironic.) Finally, as Gerry said in his review of the article, which can be found on the talk page, this article is "punchline article". The "Suck it douche bags" line is a parody of Whitaker's earlier lines, which are so eloquent and well spoken. His line instead falls into the idiotic ramblings of those found in section one, which it seems that he himself crossed out. This, too, I feel is ironic. Whether or not the piece is, as you put it, "mentally challenged", I do not know nor care. I would, however, ask of you to think twice before again telling a person that their writing is, to paraphrase, retarded. You see, because someone could take offense to this one day, and to them I would place no blame.
- "I'm sure you can put more effort into your work than this."
- About this, I could not disagree with you more. I have worked on this piece. The effort was put forward. As I hope I helped you understand the comedy that I find in this piece explains, there is more to the piece than meets the eye upon the first glance. This was all quite purposeful, and did not happen overnight. I worked on the piece, crafted it to a point, and put it up for pee review while it was still in my userspace to help me understand if the comedy was understood (and my writing sound) and if people understood it for what it was as a parody piece. Here, as I said earlier, I got a review from Gerry. (as a side note, I was afraid that whomever reviewed my article would review it as just an idiot piece, but I cannot give enough credit to Gerry for his review. I know it was not any easy one to do, and I still am impressed. If nothing else is understood from this message, please let it be what a fantastic reviewer Gerry is.) Using his help, I fixed and shaped it more, before finally being pleased with the shape it was in, and placing it where it is now. I beg of you to please not question the effort I put into any of my articles again. Though some of them may be seemingly random, or not as well-worded as others, I promise you that none of them leave my userspace without my crafting and until I am pleased with the outcome, or if I start them in mainspace, the {{WIP}} template does not come off until I am satisfied with where the article is at, and can be proud of it.
- "Uncyclopedia is funny and not just stupid. I hope there can be mutual agreement on this..."
- Yes. I agree. But I feel that your wording is important here. "Uncyclopedia is funny and not just stupid." Just. Simple word, but because of that word, I agree with you. If this article were purely about stupid, than of course it would make no sense to stay. But according to your words, it would only be wrong if it were simply "just stupid" and had no "funny" behind it. Therefore, I take from it that an article can be stupid, so long as it is funny too. I, too, believe that this article has comedy in it. As explained in the section about parody, I hope you understand where this comedy stems from, and why one may find it funny. Where in our many many rules does it say that an article must be high-brow, and cannot be stupid? Though stupid humor is often looked down upon, it is no less an adequate form of comedy than high-brow. However, I do not consider this article "stupid humor." Perhaps not high-brow, but it does not fall perfectly into the "stupid humor" sub domain. The first section obviously does, but it does not stay there.
- "...and I'm sure you'll agree this material would fit better on a wiki whose intention was to be solely random or defamatory."
- No. And, here, I may ask then if you understood the article at all. The intent here was never to be defamatory. The first section may be construed that way, but it is meant to be from the hands of vandals and idiots, and sets the stage for the second and third section. There is a reason why section one is crossed out. The last two sections I do not see as defamatory at all, and have a hard time understanding how one could.
- "it does not really parody or make fun of Forest Whitaker, it just a mentally challenged splurge about his eye."
- I hope I have helped you understand the jokes and the reasoning behind all of my decisions regarding the article. I therefor ask, here and now, that you take a second look. Woody On Fire! Talking Woody Stalking Woody 23:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, your reasons are clear. I do, however, disagree. I find this piece quite funny. It is nothing that I would expect to get VFH'd. It is, as you put it, too random for that. I do, however, find it as a perfectly good, comedic piece on this site. However, I will do my best to answer your qualms.
I'll think about it.--Sycamore (Talk) 07:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Jumping in, I wouldn't put a Fix tag on an article by a well established writer, even if you don't like it. I read the article, it's a bit bizarre but I wouldn't classify it as "...and I'm sure you'll agree this material would fit better on a wiki whose intention was to be solely random or defamatory." I'm going to remove the tag. ~ 07:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

UnSignpost June 11th/12th/whatever
The Newspaper That DOESN'T Think It's Better Than You!
June 11th, 2009 • Issue 51 • Also available in convenient suppository form!
"Uncyclopedia Worst, Boys Smelly" Declares User In a move that shocked the Uncyclopedia community, female user Kamikazewatermelon09 this week posted a topic in the lovable Pancake House of Benson. The shocking part of the incident was that an actual girl visited Uncyclopedia. Hooray! Our numerous virgin users can now cross off 'make contact with a woman (without giving a credit card number) over the internet, phone, or via smoke signal' from the list of steps towards achieving manhood. Though we can't help you with that face-to-face stuff...we hear that genre of contact is terrifying. The content of the post was too lengthy and riddled with cooties for the male, attention span deficient UnSignpost editors to actually read. Furthermore, the UnSignpost Executive Board refuses to add cootie insurance to the UnSignpost employee health plan. However, resident awesome potatochopper and known girl Sonje was recruited to read the message and react as if she had been asked a clever question by a hypothetical handsome UnSignpost reporter. From her exclusive comments, it seems that the topic poster was disappointed in the vulgarity and immaturity displayed by many of our gentlemen users. "I find the crassness rather endearing," Sonje responded, "in moderation." So, the moral of the story is: the users who really count will forgive us our occasional desire to cuss a blue streak or upload some boob-related images. So...go nuts! Cabal Criticism of the Week
This week, lead Cabalist Mordillo blocked The Wizard Of Oz with an expiry time of Judgement Day, and did not provide a reason for the epic pwning. We here at the UnSignpost would like to call out Mordillo on this lack of explanation. Not as a courtesy to the user, which he certainly did not earn through his insertions of a weird version of a California article into several unseeming places. No, we would like to know why Mordillo did not take advantage of an opportunity that was ripe with comedic potential. Surely this poor soul's username could have resulted in a ban reason referencing shiny red shoes or flying monkeys? A statement concerning the location of the user being a place that is not Kansas? We would have settled for a measly 'looking for a brain' line. But instead, you left us hanging, Mordillo. We'd like to officially call you on it, and we take comfort in knowing that though you can ban the editors, and you can ban our freedom, you can never ban the UnSignpost. Though, on second thought, you could delete it. |

June 18th, 2009 • Issue 52 • Thinly sliced news, between two slices of humor, with lettuce and hollandaise sauce
Votes for Sandwiches Officially Opens This week, Votes for Sandwiches was established by Uncyclopedia Internetist and Lead Executive of Sandwiches, Spang. Previously some sort of secret cabal hazing page, lead cabalists have thrown the doors of VFS open to reveal thinly sliced meats on a variety of breads. Or they would have, if the cabal existed, which it doesn't. Official Cabal Spokesman Mordillo exclusively explained the new feature best: "The cabal, as part of its never-ending efforts to assert its all-consuming control over the citizenry, has now introduced voting for sandwiches. Each editor will be required to eat the elected sandwiches for the entire following month. Members of the cabal will closely observe voter's decisions to make sure that no vile sandwiches, such as BAKED BEANS ON TOAST WITH MELTED CHEESE, will be chosen. That's just vile. Editors will not be allowed to protest over the "democratically" "chosen" "sandwich". We're not Iran." Reactions to the new voting page were mixed. Some users were excited for the opportunity to express their fondness towards various lunches, provided that those lunches are a sandwich. "I'm glad that sandwiches, a comedy staple due to their low-priced nature and assembly so simple that even a writer can construct one, are finally getting their due on Uncyclopedia," said resident criminology term Modusoperandi. Others were not so supportive of the move, and point to recent disturbing trends since the introduction of VFS, the most disturbing being the raiding of the fridge in the Uncyclopedia break room and the subsequent theft of all sandwiches. Well, maybe not all sandwiches, but one specifically marked "gerry's. do not eat." So far no group has claimed responsibility for this act of sandwich-related terrorism. I will find you, you little punk! And when I do, you're making me another sandwich! Comebacks! Only $19.95! Call Now!
Following a month and a half hiatus, resident VFD overlord and prince of pants MrN9500 is alleged to have returned to the wiki. According to reliable sources, MrN was spotted responding to his talk page and maintaining QVFD, among various other tasks. What other things he may do remains to be seen. We do know, however, that he has been welcomed warmly by the community, with Mordillo giving him the brand new nickname "fucker" and various users bestowing an award of reliability on him. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! Call Now And Get 2 for the Price Of 1!
Following in MrN's robotically symmetrical footsteps was noted keyboard component SysRq. After many weeks of inactivity, Sys has returned to once again putter the Imperial Colonization ship around Uncyclopedia Harbor. He has described his goals as "re-assimilate as best I can" and "Go to hell, Dex". We would like to welcome both of these users back to the loving Uncyclopedia family, and urge them to GET BACK TO WORK!! Things Brewing In IRC People are yelling at each other, stalking each other, and randomly talking to one another. What I am talking about is, of course, IRC, the highly controversial melting pot of Uncyclopedia, where users of all stands, races, and levels of activity can talk about unimportant issues. It has recently come to our attention that ruthless battles were being fought on the fields of IRC. Our correspondent decided to check things out for himself. He was confronted with gay dinosaurs, Star Wars references and general dickery. Though this one time visit cannot render a clear view of the complex nature of IRC, it might give us a glimpse into the mind of the common IRCer. The dark, mysterious character of IRC remains. |

Users Campaign to Delete Vast Portions of Uncyclopedia Several users have recently begun campaigns to rid Uncyclopedia of some of its oldest, cruftiest, stalest content, or so they would have you believe. We at the UnSignpost aren't here to report anything other than the facts, including but not limited to: opinions, speculation, and pictures of cats with funny captions. First on the chopping block was the Timeline series. This group of articles apparently chronicles the made-up version of history as recorded by people who aren't very funny. Dr. Skullthumper has taken the lead in the crusade against this unholy document, and reactions on the wiki were, as usual, mixed. Some users supported the good doctor, while others appreciated his sentiment but enjoyed the crisp, fresh smell of proper procedure much better. Noted deletionist Gwax made an appearance in order to streamline the effort to remove all of the unfunniness from the timeline, and he has been joined by several other users seeking to improve rather than delete the entire project. Next in line for the guillotine was Uncyclopedia's longest-running and only soap opera, The Young and the Uncyclopedians. At the head of this movement is prominent murderous amphibian Thekillerfroggy, who made such bold claims as "Vanity, sir!" and "Words words words!" As this project is not merely a page but an entire slew of pages, it was rejected by the Uncyclopedia Deletion Tribunal, but further actions may be in the works. When reached for comment about the situation, Uncyclopedia founder Chronarion responded, "AAAAAAAA!!!!" Usefulness of IP Contributions Called Into Question...Again The question of whether or not we should allow IPs to edit our precious humor wiki has been raised yet again, this time by plucky Der Unwehr founder Guildensternenstein. UnSignpost reporters were baffled by the concept of what an IP was, until it was explained that it is some sort of automatic vandalism robot designed to troll websites, post vanity, and ensure all articles make the proper amount of references to Chuck Norris. The debate raged fiercely, with many users falling on either side of the so-called "IP line". One camp decided that the contributions from these entities did more harm than good to the community and its collection of humor. The opposing faction took up the opposite view: that IP editors were harmless and at worst an annoyance. Modusoperandi, the lead counsel for the IP defense team, made several compelling arguments, most notably the case that IPs are adorable and thus harmless. In the end, it was decided that IP editing is something we must live with, mostly because Conservapedia doesn't allow it, and we don't want to be any more like them than we already are. When reached for comment about the situation, Uncyclopedia founder Chronarion responded, "AAAAAAAA!!!!" |

UnSignpost: July 2nd, 2009
Sucking Journalism's Fat Wang. Badly.
July 2nd, 2009 • Issue 54 • The newspaper with the name that's an anagram of "stop using n"
The Young and The Uncyclopedians Cancelled After enjoying a long-running career and several writer changes, Uncyclopedia's fabled soap opera The Young and the Uncyclopedians was cancelled this week. And by "cancelled" we mean totally owned by Thekillerfroggy. It seems TKF finally had enough, and spent nearly an hour systematically deleting the entire series, which previously contained over 60% of all content in the UnScripts namespace. The newly freed electrons, no longer required for TYATU, can now be used for other Uncyclopedia-related tasks, such as boron smelting, and they may even be used to form a sort of crude bot that can edit The count to a million project automatically. Not content with merely obliterating the entire series, Thekillerfroggy apparently became bored halfway through his holy crusade, and decided to get creative in the deletion summaries. As can be seen in a memorial erected by what is presumed to be a jilted fan of the show, TKF nostalgized and ranted, remembered and forgot, loved and lost, all while expressing his inner thoughts through the medium of deletion summaries. An example can be seen at the very end of his effort, where Thekillerfroggy writes: "Sigh./Well here's the home stretch/It's been real/We've had some good times/some bad times/But in the end/All we are is dust in the wind/So goodnight, sweet prince/Farewell TYATU/Fin." Reactions on the wiki were, as usual, mixed. Some users held a candlelight vigil in userspace, where some of the episodes have been resurrected in a zombie-like form. Entertainment editor DogNewspaper (pictured) wagged his tail, perhaps expressing hope that one day a new soap opera, sitcom, or crime investigation show featuring Uncyclopedia editors would once again grace this site. We can only dream... Main Page Suffers Spasms of Dickery If you logged onto the Main Page sometime on July 2nd between 2:00 and 3:00 GMT (and if you can't figure out what time that is where you live, then don't expect us to provide it for you, we're not a bloody watch!), you may have noticed some subtle changes. Instead of the usual Wikipedia-like format, with carefully organized features, news stories, anniversaries, and vital information, you may or may not have found...something else. You may or may not have found an intruiging offer to reffer freinds to take some sort of mp3-player related actions. You may or may not have found some sort of story with a vague theme of respecting one's elders, and everything about those elders, and we do mean everything. You may or may not have found some sort of strange mix of the two that left you with conflicting feelings. These feelings may or may not have included, but not been limited to: fear, anger, jealousy, confusion, fear again, and a vague sensation of falling. The admins responsible for this will not be named here, due to their next probable course of action in the case in which we did mention them, which would most likely be something along the lines of turning every UnSignpost issue into a Euroipod, whatever that is. The only thing we can report on is that the shenanigans ended just over an hour after they began, with the Main Page being restored to its previous false information-rich state. However, this episode shows us that it will never be safe from the hijinks of that group of admins, who, again, will not be named. |

Survivor returns to Uncyclopedia after almost two years
In late 2007, a man by the name of Leoispotter had the idea to bring his favorite reality show to Uncyclopedia. Thus, the first season of UnSurvivor was created. After five thrilling rounds of voting, Mr. Briggs Inc. managed to win against the other finalist, Thekillerfroggy, by a mere two votes. Flash forward almost two years. Kingkitty, a competitor in the first UnSurvivor, decides it's time for another go-around, and season 2 is born. In an exclusive interview with Mr. Kitty, he had this to say: "Well, I was bored ("and crazy", says one passing by civilian) and I thought: 'perhaps the community could do something fun, and stop with all this writing bullshit.'" When later asked what he thought about this current season, he said, "It's showing to be bigger and better than last season, with more betrayals, more violence, more whining, and more betrayals. Lots of betrayals. Mostly of me." Currently, UnSurvivor Season 2 is in its final round of voting, where the voted-off members of the game get to vote on the finalist they want to win. The finalists this season are: after last seasons defeat, Thekillerfroggy, and newcomers to the show, THEDUDEMAN and An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays. Voting is set to take place over 72 hours instead of the usual 24, and the winner will be announced sometime Friday July 10th. After this, according to Mr. Kitty, there "probably" will be a season 3, and it will be bigger and better than anything ever before.
Uncyclopedians pay crass tasteless tribute to Michael Jackson Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop, touched many lives, and the news of his untimely demise has left a deep void in the lives of his millions of fans and victims. Fans all over Uncyclopedia, stricken by grief, flocked by the dozens to mourn their departed hero in the only way they knew how: through the medium of humour. They ranged from perfunctory to crude to mediocre, but each expressed a deeply profound sadness that the weird plastic rapist was no more. (Yeah, "weird plastic rapist". That's what you wanted to hear, isn't it? Ha ha ha.) Tributes continue to pour in despite the fact that it is no longer funny or clever. With the stage set for a long, protracted battle over his kids and estate, Uncyclopedia expects that unfunny people will continue to get mileage out of this story for many weeks to come. Uncyclopedia admins plan to send a selection of the best "tributes" to the Jackson family, along with the number of a company that recycles plastics. (That's what you wanted to hear, isn't it? Ha ha ha.) Editors emerge from woodwork, contribute to UnSignpost This week, when UnSignpost Active Editor Gerrycheevers brought up the Uncyclopedia page containing the currently in-progress UnSignpost, he suffered a minor heart attack upon finding that two stories had already been added to the paper. It seems both An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays and THEDUDEMAN, both newly given the title "Consulting Editor", took exception to being named "Consulting Editor" and took it upon themselves to blanket the UnSignpost with awesomeness. Unsignpost Payroll Manager DogNewspaper (pictured) bared his teeth at this development, indicating his frustration at having to re-issue new timecards to both editors. Gerrycheevers is expected to make a full recovery; flowers can be sent to the Uncyclopedia Infirmary and Shooting Range. |

And Scotland would be worse off it was on it's own. I don't want to have to get a passport to leave! It's just ridiculiuse. And if not plain by now that I don't what I'm talking about then...

The Free Newspaper Only Two People Started Out Editing, But Now They Want Nothing To Do With!
July 16th, 2009 • Issue 56 • This is a Pathetic Joke
User Return Causes Widespread Panic This week noted user An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays returned to the wiki, and immediately rendered that return "triumphant". However, other users are beginning to feel the effects of the presence of this primate whose quantum mechanical properties dictate that he be only during certain periods of the week. This incident left onlookers shocked, and worrying if something similar could happen to them. Not since the return of a scantily-clad Olipro has this website seen such a display of sheer terror mixed with complete confusion (and in the case of Olipro, a bit of curious arousal mixed in). The aforementioned incident involved one user who had AATOEOT embedded in his dreams. Most curiously, this episode seems to have happened on a Friday night, a time period when an An Ape that Only Exists on Thursdays should decidedly not exist. Nearly a week has passed without further disruptions, although that may be partially due to Ape's ban after being kicked off of the Uncyclopedia island during a rousing game of Uncyclopedia Survivor. Regardless of the reasons behind the strange occurrences, users should be sure to keep an eye out for strange occurrences on and off the wiki...particularly on Thursdays. Flood of Crap Nearly Overflows VFD For the last few days, an explosion of nominations has inundated Uncyclopedia's waste removal system, Votes for Deletion. After a period of low activity, where there would typically be just a few to several nominations, things picked up last week. In the last few days, the situation has accelerated into what is being called by experts a "shit-ton" of undesirable content festering in the dark, unvisited corners of the wiki. Said undesirable content is currently being read, discussed, and dealt with accordingly, as is the usual procedure at the highly efficient VFD. Circumstances have escalated to the point of rattling a few relaxed admins. One such incident involved a user getting the customary one-day ban for increasing the active nomination count past twenty, when the user in question had, in fact, only increased the number of active noms to twenty. Owing to the normal tendency of the article count of VFD to stay in the low single digits lately, the lapse is certainly forgiveable, and was quickly corrected. Afterwards the two parties exchanged pleasantries and shared a S'Mores which was roasted over the open bonfire of newly deleted articles. Former poopsmith MrN9500 commented on the situation, saying, "Well you know I fancy the standards at VFD have improved significantly in recent times. Not so long ago it would often just be a quick "Short and Shit" vote from UU, and the latest stub was on for a huffing. These days we are spending more time voting on closer votes and are deleting much better articles than we used to! Something VFD is really proud of." In a final display of VFD patriotism, MrN added, "CHECK THE PAGE HISTORY BEFORE NOMINATING YOU BUGGERS!" Orian57 On Fire Noted rainbow-colored user Orian57 has recently enjoyed a remarkable string of success (pictured on right). He has scored an unprecedented natural hat trick of features, with UnBooks:Daddy, There's a Zombie in the Garden, LazyTown, and UnScripts:Trapped at Sea reaching the front page on consecutive days. Not since the time of such legends as Savethemooses and The Thinker have such lofty VFH records been broken. Although in the case of STM, there were probably mitigating factors involved, like wooden articles rather than aluminum, or something. Or aluminium, that strange substance only found in England by mining thousands of millions of other strange occurences, such as referring to the trunk of a car as a "boot". This god-like spasm of awesomeness is fresh on the heels of Orian's Writer of the Month win in June of this year. Since the beginning of that month, he has seen six of his works grace the front page, and he shows no signs of slowing down. When reached for comment, he explained, "Well I suppose it's down to being fantastic. And unemployed. But mostly being fantastic." The UnSignpost would like to congratulate Orian on his recent spat of win, and express hopes he will continue the pattern well into the future. |

Uncyclopedia Users Form Fantasy Football League This week, several Uncyclopedians banded together under the leadership of one Guildensternenstein to form some sort of "Fantasy Football" organization. What exactly this entails is unclear, but it appears that the football- and soccer-related fantasies of the participating members will be carried out in the semi-private confines of the forums. Reactions were mixed to this development, with some users expressing emotions ranging from apathy to indifference. Others voiced concern about children, decency, and lewd public conduct. "My little boy came home today saying something about going to another boy's house to perform football fantasies!" said one outraged and confused mother. Regardless of the small amount of negative feedback, participants are eager to begin fantasizing about their favorite football players, such as David Beckham. Bradaphraser had this to say: "The Fantasy Football League is a chance for Uncyclopedians to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday Uncyclopedia work and actually have some fun for a change. While I usually am busy with the administrating task of sitting on my lazy ass and doing nothing, this gives users a chance to see me in a more relaxed state." "I fully expect that this venture will be just as successful as my recent run for the Presidency," continued Brad, "which I lost to Bradford Lyttle of the Pacifist party by a mere 110 votes. I fully expect to win one or possibly even two games in this upcoming season, assuming of course that a draft is eventually held." Said draft is scheduled to begin immediately, and assuming only a small portion of footballers flee to Canada to evade this draft, the Uncyclopedia Fantasy Football League will be ready to hold its first game by opening day. Village Dump Suffers From Rash of Inactivity In a startling development, activity on Uncyclopedia's main gathering place, the Village Dump, has all but ceased. With The UnIdiot registering the sole comment in the last three full days, the normal flow of important, relevant conversation in the Forums appears to have dried up. While an excess of users can usually be found loitering aimlessly in the halls of the Dump, it appeared all but deserted as of press time. Several theories have been raised, ranging from the intriguingly possible (July weather causes Uncyclopedians to go outside) to the exceedingly headache-inducing (Uncyclopedians are being abducted by giant space cabbages). However, one of the more interesting theories comes from our lead scientist and nature correspondant, DogNewspaper (unavailable for picture). He claims that while the Village Dump itself along with associated forums such as the Ministry of Love and the Help forum has seen a decline in activity, the so-called Benson's House of Pancakes has seen a shocking upswing in activity. In the same time frame that only a single edit was made in the Village Dump, sixteen different topics were edited in Benson's Breakfast Domicile. DogNewspaper, that earlier mentioned nature correspondant, calls this a migration. "Woof," he claimed, elaborating that many users were unable to adapt to conditions found in the normal Village Dump, and were forced to relocate to the more hospitable Benson-related location. It is here, in the BHOP, that users are free to create topics concerning their own birthdays, the anniversaries of their birth, and memorials commemorating the day they were born. Whether the mass exodus is complete or not has yet to be seen. |
