September 2006[edit source]
Since I can't self-nominate then I would like to point that I suck at writing and have no talent yet I keep on adding and editting shit. Vote for me this September. --User:Tom mayfair/Sig 18:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- No. It takes a special kind of numbskullery to earn the coveted UGotM, it takes more than your simple, nay, naive kind of dumbassitude to get it. The most you can hope for is a ban for whoring yourself out for a badge that most people try to avoid.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 18:43, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Against. Voting on VFD and even just being here is useful. You haven't done enough to counteract that. --Sbluen 18:57, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Well if a ban is all I can get then you can vote for me at FFS -- 19:27, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- You know that's not real, right? You'd be better off putting away childish things like UGotM, and picking up adult things like "humour". That way, someday, you'll be in the running for one of the good badges, VFH, VFP, PotM WotM, UotM, etc.--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 19:41, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
*sigh* I'll never amount to anything.--
19:44, 2 September 2006 (UTC)- I have a theory that everyone knows enough about something to make a funny page about something. Start there (not with the theory, but with the page).--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 20:02, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, Tom, other than your apparent aversion to commas and other forms of non-period punctuation, I'd say your material is really not all that bad. Besides, I was thinking of nominating User:Frinko this month... If you're just looking for a monthly award of some sort, maybe we could set up something at Unquotable or Uncycloversity that could be rigged in your favor? Particularly the latter, since I'm giving it a communist theme. c • > • cunwapquc? 20:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't blame you guys for seeing how well I do write because my work is
goodgreat but I do have some crappy articles and some pointless edits. Just because I don't run around vandalizing and adding pointless shit doesn't make them anyless worthless to Uncyclopedia. My feelings are hurt. Especially because this is being tooken WAY too seriously. It'll be okay. You can withdraw my nomination if it's that much of a problem. You know you can. You're Administrators. Sorry for all the havoc.-- 06:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)- Actually nobody who has responded to this topic is an administrator (well, until my response)... —rc (t) 06:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, took me a mintue to realize that. Sorry.--
- Don't worry - I've been mistaken for an admin on more than one previous occasion, no doubt due to my imperious demeanor and general overarching tendency towards pretentiously overworded statements (this one, for example). I should probably preface my talk-page entries with "IANAA" or something to that effect. My bad! But back to the point, is there any way, Tom, that I could, perhaps with, say, some promise of an accolade, however small, convince you, as a writer, to use, shall we say, commas? c • > • cunwapquc? 16:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Removal from UGoTM[edit source]
I'm tired of this, I want my name removed from UGotM, I'm not kidding, I have improved, I have changed, And if you little shits think that I haven't changed, You are wrong, I have changed, I am not trying to be admin, I am not doing anything wrong, I am doing what's right for me and what's right for me is being a member. You fuckers listening?, Good!, I will go to drastic lenghts to see my name removed from UGotM, I will even defend myself, But if any of you assholes have been listening, Then you would remove your nominations now!. --SU182 00:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I suggest you knock it off. You've pretty much got the award in the bag, and if you yank it off your userpage you're probably going to see something along the lines of a thing you're already familiar with- BANSTICK. Further, I'd suggest you calm down, as your above post could be construed as a threat. For someone coming off of a ban so recently, you're making an awful lot of noise. You got the award. The end. If you keep it up, I guarantee you're headed for infiniban. Just let it slide, and prove that you're not so useless in a way that really counts- like getting a featured article or image. --SarinZero (blabber ) 00:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- And so it goes...Famine blocked this idiot forever. So much for a second chance, he clearly proved he didnt deserve one. -- Sir C Holla | CUN 01:02, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- He was banned too recently to get a UGotM award, anyway. 01:19, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- It was my understanding that they were going to give it to him anyway, but now that he's toast, who ends up getting it? Me? --SarinZero (blabber ) 01:37, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'll offer myself up for it. 03:20, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
- All things told, though, this was wonderfully entertaining. --The King In Yellow (Talk to the Dalek.) 17:58, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

November[edit source]
Now taking Nominations for the month of November. Put your nominations below this line.
Scrotum (talk) – contribs (new • del) • edit-count • block (rem • list) • all logs • groups • checkuser I'd like to nominate and offer my vote to Scrotum, not only for the stirling work done on the "it's vs its" debate but also for singlehandedly attacking every Admin. Great work! -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- For As the only holder so far of this illustriouse award, I have to say this is outstanding work Bravo!--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 17:00, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
For In the spirit of the whole ludicrous episode. -- Sir Codeine K·H·P·B·M·N·C·U·Bu. · (Harangue) 17:00, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
For its a no-brainer --Willy on wheels! 21:35, 29 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Support. He's been quiet recently, but still gets talked about anyway. It has kind of developed a mystique... The Legend of Scrotum, if you will. And what an apt username. -- T. (talk) 19:45, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
For, because I wanna be part of the cool crew.--Myronic 22:11, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
Kerry's_big_sex (talk) – contribs (new • del) • edit-count • block (rem • list) • all logs • groups • checkuser
Nomination & Vote for Kerry's big sex, who seems like an entirely reasonable person, BUT has created some content this month that has (a) been deleted multiple times by admins and (b) been re-born from the ashes of burnination in a state only marginally less-worse than before. It's a combination of ineptitude and diligence that really caught my interest (though I don't get the articles at all). -- T. (talk) 18:32, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC) Withdrawn. -- T. (talk) 19:41, 30 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Against. If only for the contribution on Simon Schama (UK TV Historian Dude, just in case you wondered?) -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Considering the month of November is over and Powershot dude (talk) – contribs (new • del) • edit-count • block (rem • list) • all logs • groups • checkuser got the most votes, I guess we can conclude that he won the award? -- 02:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- He sure did, but nobody cares. *Ding* Next please! --AAA! (AAAA) 09:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
October[edit source]
Now taking Nominations for the month of October. Put your nominations below this line.
- I vote for User:127.0.0.1 who, despite been a member since April 2005, hasn't added a single article or contributed in any way. Thats worse than writing shite in my book -- Mhaille 17:40, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that doesn't jive with the award's (must) "Consistantly write crap" rule. What we need is another award entirely devoted to (dis)honouring people that register and (a) do absolutely nothing or (b) contribute no original content and make inconsequential edits to other people's stuff. -- T. (talk) 17:47, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Are you plugging for a nomination? :) -- Mhaille 17:55, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Can I self nominate? --The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 17:56, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Nope. But I'm happy to nominate you. You're just after the fancydan new template aren't u? -- Mhaille 17:57, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
- Someome, please nominate me. All my articles are worthless crap. Even my userpage says so. --Nintendorulez 00:45, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not sure you're at the right level of crapicity, but I'll give you a provisional VOTE in favour for the longest continous introduction paragraph known to man for Black Jesus (though the accompanying image IS clearly PS and not MSPaint standard) -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me) 10:42, 1 Nov2005 (UTC)
October's already in the can. I say give it to Elvis, if he wants it. Hail to the King, baby. -- T. (talk) 16:24, 7 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- In keeping with the spirit of the award I agree. I vote to belatedly award the October award to Elvis, and on the strength of a disinterested minority he should be allowed to hang his new award in a prominent place in one of the small rooms of his mansion. Huhhuh huh. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Congratulations to the first official winner of the GOTM award. I am so going to have to make it my life's work to win this award...... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
SO where should this be swen on to my uniform?--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 16:31, 17 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- It is to be featured on the reverse of the ceremonial y-fronts. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
New rule proposal[edit source]
So as to exclude the most obviouse vandals/trolls can I suggets that some nominated for this cannot have been banned for longer than a day for a least say a month, it will obviously raise the bar somewhat! (ofcourse they may get banned after being nomed)--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 17:02, 21 Nov 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think that makes sense. I tried to filter in some kind of effort into the original rules, but you're right, unless anyone has reason against I'll add it now. -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
Eliminate the award proposal[edit source]
- Funny but no Harms the image of the site for new users. --Nerd42eMailTalkUnMetaWPediah2g2 15:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry but as a fellow awardee (and the first at that) I have to vote to Keep as a semi-non-vindictive way of letting off steam.--The Right Honourable Maj Sir Elvis UmP KUN FIC MDA VFH Bur. CM and bars UGM F@H (Petition) 15:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep I got it too, and I like it --The Zombiebaron 16:36, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep....if people can't enjoy a laugh they shouldn't be here.... -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)

- Keep for the reasons stated by Mhaille. ~Sir Rangeley GUN WotM UotM EGA +S (talk) 21:15, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This award is a good idea because I think it allows people to express issues they have with other users in a public forum and can eventually have constructive results. I tried working on the Skeletor page after Jtaylor1 nommed me. So I don't think the award is a bad idea. I still think my nomination is utterly ridiculous though, but I'll let the rest of uncyc decide that question.

Question about self-noms[edit source]
Are you allowed to ask someone else to nom you, or does that still count? And what about droopping subtle hints on talk pages? --User:Nintendorulez 20:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
The no self nom rule is stupid, because anyone can just create another account from another computer and just nom themselves anyway.
--RudolfRadna 20:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Then again, who wants to nominate themselves for UGotM anyway? --AAA! (AAAA) 08:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- You'd be surprised, actually. Some people will do anything for attention. --Hrodulf 08:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- In the past, several have. We try to talk them down from the ledge (see the top of this very talkpage for an example).--Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 08:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- You'd be surprised, actually. Some people will do anything for attention. --Hrodulf 08:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
About the "blocked within the last month"[edit source]
I think the rule should be changed to: "Any nominee cannot have been banned for longer than a day, for at least the previous month. However, if they were banned after they were nominated, then that doesn't count." Otherwise, most of our users can't be nommed because they will be banned sooner or later. --AAA! (AAAA) 10:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Was this meant to offend?[edit source]
By nominating useful admins as a silly joke, you're making this prize absolutely void. Who will get offended by being UGotM when Braydie and ZB were also elected to its highness someday? This is becoming just a "look at me" award, and a real award: there are people actually wanting it. Is this prize which is becoming an useless gobshite. -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 00:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually when ZB won it he deserved it. :) -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
- Acctaully Mhaille, I still have "contributed the most "point free" articles...[with] bad grammar, [and a] lack of punctuation." -- The Zombiebaron 17:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually when ZB won it he deserved it. :) -- Sir Mhaille (talk to me)
The Walter Humala Trials[edit source]
(Discussion about the candidate Walter Humala, hero of the free expression, bashed by the greedy jews and their puppets) -- :herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 19:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- MOVED EVERYTHING TO Uncyclopedia:Useless Gobshite of the Month/Walter Humala
Let's vote for him![edit source]
If Mr. Humala was to be considered a real Nazi - I mean, the dangerous type, not the childish type - he would not appear in UGotM, he would just have been infibanned. He's the leading candidate, but I think more two or three votes would guarantee his election - and I'm sure he's the most worthwhile candidate in the list. (This comment is here because I'm just calling people to vote, not discussing his merit, which is the purpose of the subpage). -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 23:53, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Wow, the UGotM page...[edit source]
...is a mess. It looks like it got hit by a car. Is it where we're putting all of our crazy now? 'Cause I've got a box full of expired crazy at home I've been meaning to get rid of. --Sir Modusoperandi Boinc! 02:37, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm still very supportive of Walter Humala's candidature. Except if we make him, how do they say it in France... Horse-concours! -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 02:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Zerotrousers[edit source]
Well, it's better for us not making this witch hunt so public. Also, I'm a little tired of this prize. If you want it to be a plastic chocolate-pooping pig to leave on your job mate's desk, carry on. I understood this as a somewhat friendly warning. -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 15:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Nomination I resisted the much I could, but... he just keeps on hanging around with that Carmen Miranda hat. Attention whore... His criminal file keeps on expanding: 1)FH template on user page; 2)Nominating Benson for WotM; 3)Nominating himself to admin; 4)BHOP 5-star veteranship, flamewars, attacking MO and defending Drama 5) Having 3 adopters and nominating himself as an adopter; 6)Nominating the already-featured Fisher Price; 7)Non-confirmed (this I've just heard): creating This Page Does Not Exist. And so on, over and over and over. Yes, all of those stuff can be classified as just n00bish silliness, but c'mon... All at the same time from the same person? In sum, he caught my attention, in a bad way. Here goes my token of recognition. -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 15:25, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- For - Yeah, he did create Tpdne. Attention seeker, plain and simple (which is why we probably shouldn't give him this, but ah well). –—Hv (talk) 15:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Against. NAB: You are taking this award too seriously, it looks like if you were looking someone to punish each month. Walter Humala I understund, but this? You said it yourself, a bit too N00bish, not a federal crime, no szvastikas in his sig.---Asteroid B612 (aka Rataube) - Ñ 17:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, maybe. I've tried to leave him in peace until I've noticed he - yet again - keeps on looking for attention in annoying ways. But, as I've said: I'm not accusing him of such a huge crime or else I would be suggesting his ban, not UGotM. By the way, I also said this in this prize talk page, and sannse agreed: we are making this prize, which had some friendly but offensive value, just a big nothing. A watermellon to wear on your head. -- herr doktor needsApistol [scream!] 17:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- For Because we've tried most other things to shut him up, and giving him this silly award he's been after is the only remaining possibility that might do it! --Whhhy?Whut?How? *Back from the dead* 22:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- For --AAA! (AAAA) 03:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- Strong Against if I was allowed to vote again - Zerotrousers tries way too hard, especially with his random forum topics. I think the more suttle gobshites deserve this more. Sir Cs1987 UOTM. t. c 14:45, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- For He put the original Contents up for VFD and it got deleted. I believe that giving him this award will be perfect justice for his actions. -- 15:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Change the "User banned within a month" rule[edit source]
This rule should be changed, as you can see this month that nearly all nominations are getting disqualified because the people who truly deserve it are getting banned, thus making the noms useless, and this page cluttered. In case you don't know, nearly everyone who gets nommed for UGotM will be banned sooner or later, so this rule ruins it. If we made it so they don't get disqualified if they were banned after their nom, then we'd have people who'd truly deserve it, such as Metropolis, Zerotrousers, Java7837, and Fonchezzz. I'd like the rule changed so that they can't be nommed if they were banned last month, but are still eligable if they were banned after their nom, like Mhaille did in this diff. Does anyone agree? --AAA! (AAAA) 23:40, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Okay... Metro deserves it, Zerotrousers wants it... Java7837 deserves it, cokkies,yum! deserves it..., and Fonchezz, I have no fucking clue. --Lt. High Gen. Grue The Few The Proud, The Marines 23:44, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, he won, but both his user and talk pages are protected. Who'll do the honors of giving him the badge? --
13:19, 1 August 2007 (UTC)- Looks like Mhaille got the honours. He just finished TP'ing what's left of Ohadaloni, as well as banning anyone who said he shouldn't get this prestigious award by virtue of (permanently) no longer being part of the en.uncyclopedia community.

- Anyway, I also agree. I started it to make a point about Sannse's self-nomination. Then everyone started copying me to, so I inserted a {{USERNAME}} joke to parody self-nominations. Unfortunately, it was deleted. -- Thankful Kippy Share blessings Bountiful harvest 04:49, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
