Forum:Why was "The word parakeet written exactly two hundred and forty-two times" deleted?
Apparently, Sikon deleted The word parakeet written exactly two hundred and forty-two times earlier today. Even the talk page was deleted. I just have one question: why? --Sir Starnestommy

Alas, the article is back. Golly, we could write a script to produce articles exactly like this one, without any actual human putting any effort into it at all. Wouldn't that be a good idea?! The word orangutan 193 times. The word hamster 452 times. So creative and funny! The word therapeutic 729 times. The word brassiere 328 times. Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! Repetition is so cool! See, it only took me a second to copy and paste that phrase. That is so cool it is refrigerated. Let's do it! Uncyclopedia could have a repetitive article for every word in the dictionary! And then we could do made-up words! The word gopro 643 times. The word vuro8t 534 times. YAY! ----OEJ 13:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think the factor that people find funny about it is just that, that it stands out as an abhoration against the norms (if we have them) of Uncyclopedia. If we had all the examples you've cited it wouldn't be funny. Or would it? -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- But we could do all those examples without any human effort! Since it takes virtually no originality, creativity, or intelligence to make an article consisting solely of repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition repetition, then the more articles we have like that then the more unoriginal, uncreative, and unintelligent Uncyclopedia becomes! YAY! It's a lose-lose situation, just like upgrading a Microsoft product. And we already have AAAAA, and Party Hard, and Parakeet-copy-pasted-a-bunch-of-times, and God knows how many others. It's not an aberration, it a cliché. Oh, never mind. I'm just being a shithead again. ;) ----OEJ 15:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree with one-eyed Jack. I get pissed off with each new repetition article that's created. I believe that a few ones are necessary, Like AAAAAAAAA!, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and Contents. And yes, even parakeet would be entertaining if it already hadn't been done to death. Seriously, what's next? An UnTunes "song" where the same word is repeated with music? -- Kip the Egg
