Several Inspirations[edit source]
well this probably won't be short.
How I Came Up With This Shit[edit source]
the history of how i came up with the concept of this article is actually very interesting. the first idea i had for my second featured article was a Worst 100 list. specifically, a Worst 100 "Worst 100" list. the joke was, since barely of the Worst 100 lists actually have all 100, the joke was the overlord of uncyclopedia would kill the narrator because they didn't finish the worst 100 list.
sounds familiar already?
yeah, the forgotten roots from one of my older FA ideas was reused here. ain't that sick?? okay it really isn't that sick. it's just reusing my old ideas.
"Happy Monkey Monday..."[edit source]
y'know, this phrase actually had a lot to do with this article. mostly because i only really found out about the Happy Monkey Competition when i scrolled on gale's talk page archive. actually, the idea for that "Worst 100 "Worst 100" list" was actually made when i was scrolling on gale's archive. pretty funny, huh?
so yeah. since a lot of the inspiration for this article (well, besides video essays) was taken from gale's talk page, i thought it would be funny to reference the happy monkey competition, because he wrote an article on the HMC about infomercials. "Happy Monkey Monday" is also a parody of Dr. Disrespect's "Elden Ring Monday", which he said after getting "cancelled". i actually have no idea what the fuck he did anymore
Sources of inspirations for the Video essay part[edit source]
here's all the inspirations (for the video essay part) i took for this article.
Video creator โ Person their video talked about (What I took inspiration from)
- SunnyV2 โ Lillee Jean (formatting), OnlyJayus (just the story in general)
- Internet Anarchist โ VeganGains (the thumbnail, the typewriter, the music)
- TurkeyTom โ DrDisrespect (elden ring monday, pedophilia)
- MorePegasus โ Literally Everything He Talks About (titles)
Other Inspirations[edit source]
"After gaslighting their followers that the non-existent country of France was a real place" is a parody of that one time DaniPine3 solidified the legitimacy of France as a real country. I still hold a grudge.
In Conclusion...[edit source]
if it wasn't for gale5050, this article wouldn'tve been made. oh yeah, and probably every single user during the 2020-2021 era of uncyclopedia would've probably had been more sane.
oh and btw i did not proofread this entire talk page ๐ gergdown ๐ โ๏ธ 22:57, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
