Inspired mainly by Shabidoo's idea to have a page for general comedy favourites, and in a desire to inspire the new idea to re-feature legendary articles, I thought it might be nice to have a forum page to post our favourite articles on this site. So here it is. Mine is A bunch of aristocrats fucking. Awesome vid, by the way. --EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken(get dtf) 16:51, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

- In no particular order: Printer ink, Lord Sauron, Shopping list, Hyperdrinking, Doping in sports, Turing Duck Test, Japanese High Schools, All Quiet on the Western Front, Bouncy Castle and Sania Mirza. --Nikau (talk) 05:52, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- My favorite article is probably Martin Van Buren. Honorable mentions (in no particular order) include: Sun, UnScripts:Waiting For Godot 2: Waiting With A Vengeance, I maed a yuky doody (I know, I'm immature), and Alliteration. --

- Alliteration article should have been called "Assonance". Alliteration is a stylistic device, consisting in several words starting with the same consonant. If vowels repeat, then it's assonance. Anton (talk) 14:40, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, "assonance" refers to the repetition of a vowel sound within closely connected words such as the phrase "That solitude which suits abstruser musings" (source: Wikipedia). Alliteration refers to the occurrence of the same letter, whether it be a vowel or a consonant, at the beginning of closely connected words, so the name of the article is correct. -- 17:31, 16 November 2014 (UTC)
- Or if you're being super technical, alliteration refers to the first sound in a word (so close chase isn't alliteration even though they both begin with c), but this article does that for the most part, so I would say the name is still appropriate. I was just impressed at how someone could write an entire article using only words that start with "A" and still make it funny. -- 17:35, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

- I prefer Hardwick Fundlebuggy's userpage. I show it to everyone. Then they look at me strangely and tell me my rock isn't a computer. Then I hit them with my computer. Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:04, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- My favorite would definitely be Special:Log/block/Roman Dog Bird, closest thing to comedy on this site. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!)

Forgot to mention: first article I read here was Al Capone, which had me fall in love with the site. The second was Leon Trrotsky which had me not liking the site quite so much. EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken(get dtf) 16:08, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- I don't have one, but many. In addition, they constantly change. Some of them are UnBooks:Aesop's Tables, Microsoft Knowledge Base, Game:Alone in the Dark, UnBooks:My Pal Stanley Kubrick and Animals with feet war with animals with no feet. But there are many more, which I can't think of right now. Anton (talk) 17:22, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
