No really, why does everyone hate it so much, aside having links with 4chan? ---Sir Hat-a-lot the great, who is feeling: Mildly dejected # My contributions|My talkpage|My templates 18:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Personally i'm a fan of 4chan, just not of ED. It's more of an archive for memes than something comparable to Uncyc I find. (Bonner) (Talk) Jun 3, 18:47

Well Uncyc seems to suffer from Extreme Hate Disorder when ED is concerned. It's true.---Sir Hat-a-lot the great, who is feeling: Mildly dejected # My contributions|My talkpage|My templates 19:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to post this pic everytime I see ED mentioned in the forums. It's a nice pic of my Pa'. *sniff*, I miss Pa'. Went out for smokes and never came back, he did. Plus, since headers don't appear to be length-limited, I can just ramble on about whatever comes to mind. Which is nice. The rambling, I mean...

This is ED. Good ol' ED.

Sorry. I was asleep. I do that, sometimes. While sleeping, I fought a dragon and rescued the Princess and won the Indy 500! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 21:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Dude, I had that same dream. Also, I'm your evil twin. Muahahaha. Oh, and a lot of our editors don't hate ED. I don't. I don't think most of their pages are funny, of course, or I'd be editing there instead of here right now. Different strokes, so they say. You know that'd be a great name for some kind of TV show or something, like a sitcom. Maybe it could star someone with a hilariously memorable catchphrase. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 00:56, Jun 4

Now that would rule the world. MrN 01:05, Jun 4

I'm a little confused. If we're funny and they're not, why do we keep editing our own pages? Why don't we edit their pages until they're funny? --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 06:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

What's wrong with ED, you ask? Read their article "Offended" and then you tell me. -- Kip the Egg Talk Works 06:50, Jun. 4, 2008

Well, if I was being completely honest (which, usually I'm not except in emerginsee circumstances), I'd say Uncyclopedia can be, if not as much, to a certain degree, offensive.

Yeah, but we only attack you with words, not shock images. And when I say shock images, I'm talking dead bodies, aids victims, and, of course, goatse. Lots of goatse.   Le Cejak • <16:13, 04 Jun 2008>

No shock images? What about this? Are you shocked? I am. My heart is beating faster and everything. Sir Hat-a-lot; in humour everything will offend someone. Ever seen Family Matters? Now that's offensive! I am outraged just thinking about it. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow. I am officially scarred for life. ---Sir Hat-a-lot the great, who is feeling: Mildly dejected # My contributions|My talkpage|My templates 14:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

As well you should be. Just be glad that it wasn't the NSWF version (available for a nominal fee). Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 15:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

My heart is beating faster. I think it's more arousal than shock, though. Also, what's NSWF? --Pleb SYNDROME _{CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!)} 19:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Not safe work for. Obviously. On an unrelated note, I really should use that "preview" button. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:16, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Well ED copies mostly Dave Chappelle jokes and they are not Dave Chappelle and they are not funny. --Lt. Sir Orion Blastar (talk) 20:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

They think shock=funny.

We realize that shock can equal funny, but only in small doses. They rely on random stupidity instead of witty satire. We have originality whilst they overuse already overused memes. They're geeks, and we are nerds. Or is it the other way around? Oh well. My point is they think the PS3 is the best current-gen console (You got one game, and that isn't even out yet, bitches!). --MegaPleb • Dexter111344 • Complain here 16:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

To sum up "Uncyclopedia 'reasonbly' funny, ED very poor and offensive"--— Sir Sycamore (talk) 16:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

PS3? Whazzat? The best current gen console is clearly the Super Famicon. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

ED is the "jackass" of the internet world. It isn't funny, and there are lots of assholes. --THE 18:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah! They stole our niche! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 18:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Answering you question with two answers.

Don't worry, I'll do this the tl;dr way.

Why don't we like ED?

They don't like us. Then they come and antagonize us knowing we're too mature to antagonize them back.

Why isn't ED funny?

Because they aren't. Their wiki is about documenting internet happenings, 4chan misadventures, and goatse. Our wiki is about humor writing. We're just two different wikis, that's all.

Bottom line: Fuck ED. Don't go there to antagonize them. But they're still fuckers. ~Minitrue Sir SysRq! Talk! Sex! =/ GUN • WotM • RotM • AotM • VFH • SK • PEEING • HP • BFF @ 20:42 Jun 7

"We're too mature..." Err.......I wouldn't exactly say that. Besides, you're a poopy-head. - Don Leddy the Crunch (Nyah, see, nyah!) 23:04, Jun 7
