Best Article

Multiliteralist:

1. User:Zombiebaron/wip/UnBooks:Uncyclopedia Owner's Manual Despite one "studies of proven" - which might well be intentional - this is just the best-written one.
2. User:IFYMB!/UnScripts:The Treaty of Minaj-Black This was a fucking close call. Made me laugh more than any of the others; there must have been something about the writing I didn't quite like though. It's possible I'll reverse the first two spots after a re-read.
3. User:Simsilikesims/Praise songs This has a good idea. I would have liked a couple of things: a bit more attack and absurdity, plus some reduction of conversational expressions like "You know" and what else have you. Those always look like filler to me - I'm sure the writer can do without that (don't tell me my articles could also go without filler. They fucking couldn't!). I suggest a rewrite - perhaps picking an even more idiotic praise song would also help. I repeat: the idea is good. Yo, let me repeat it once more for good measure: the idea is good; please rewrite this one. I'll join in if you want me to.
4. User:Flyingbird/Banana_Sucking Again, a pretty good idea. Two things: less repetition, more innuendo and absurdity. Some good ideas like the C-vitamin bit - could be blown out of proportion there. A bit more roller coaster for comedic effect. Please rewrite - and do let me know if you want me to join in. Oh yes - better ideas for the title? This one requires a lot from the article.
5. User:Leverage/Unscripts:Man Struggles to Explain Anal Sex to Son I had to go with this one. This has one clear organizational deficit: you give the joke away in the title and the intro. If I were to write this kind of article, I would go on about the loss and things like that and take up the anal sex bit somewhere closer to the end. Not that it would be any more tasteful, but as a joke it would be far more effective. Now there's no particular reason to read further than the intro (which only becomes clear after you have read through the whole deal).
6. UnNews:Dave Mustaine is running for president If you want to give half points, divide the 1 between Zana's article and the anal sex (divide a point between... an article and anal sex? If you can, do that). Zana's was good but for censored obscenities and the fact that it wasn't absurd enough in my view. Go all Python with it and give presidential campaigns to other rock stars as well, stuff like that. Alice Cooper probably was the inventor of the whole deal with his "I wanna be elected". That might be shit but you get the idea. In any case: if you pick the unlikeliest candidates for the unlikeliest spots and end it with Sir Paul McCartney, Governor Schwarzenegger and President Reagan, you will have a deal with it in my opinion.

1. User:Zombiebaron/wip/UnBooks:Uncyclopedia Owner's Manual- This article I have to go for because this is one of the best pieces I had ever read. Basically written in a style of a car manual, these days there should be a manual for everything.
2. User:IFYMB!/UnScripts:The Treaty of Minaj-Black- I find this a bit too meme-y. But still current.
3. User:Leverage/Unscripts:Man Struggles to Explain Anal Sex to Son- Getting over this one. This one is better than The Onion.
4. User:Simsilikesims/Praise songs- Finally, a parody of religion hymns!

The rest are either crap, too short or something so boring that my funny bone would rather laugh to a crudely made music video from the 1980's like this one

Best Noob Article

Multiliteralist:

1. User:RedHot/UnReviews:My Dinner The consistent complaining about broccoli is an OK idea.
2. User:Tmchale/Searching for Topological Degeneracy in the Hubbard Model with Quantum Monte Carlo This was a close call, but in this one there was something lacking. Also, the implied author considers those who didn't get it "ignorant plebs"... it should be obvious in the text without saying.
3. User:TheMillionRabbit/Hold Your Wii For A Wee contest The Oscar wilde quote put me right off.

Joe9320 (Joe the Burninator)

1. User:RedHot/UnReviews:My Dinner- A parody of food reviews, this is a food review from the view of a young kid. A few dick jokes, and I was entertained through.
2. User:Tmchale/Searching for Topological Degeneracy in the Hubbard Model with Quantum Monte Carlo- Too sciency. For God's sake, I am only a first-year undergraduate! But really funny nonetheless; I get some of the jokes.
3. User:TheMillionRabbit/Hold Your Wii For A Wee contest- This is a hilarious article. But there is too much repeated jokes, dick jokes and memes in this.

1. User:TheMillionRabbit/Hold Your Wii For A Wee contest - This wasn't as complicated as other articles but it gave me the best laughs. I agree with Multiliteralist that that Oscar Wilde-quote sucked. Hey, Wilde and Norris and those others are, like, ancient. You should change their names or just throw at least the quotes the fuck out of there, it really ruins the first impression. Change them to like a more encyclopedic outlook or something. BUT, if you ignore those, you find a very comical and absurd article with many rich ideas that could be continued even more. Lots of good humour, but could use more pictures tough. Best of the trio, congrats!
2. User:RedHot/UnReviews:My_Dinner - This started out like it'd be a, long comical story with random and absurd 'plot' twists. Well as this was an UnReview, it didn't, but 'i really expected something über-hilarious. I was kinda disappointed when I found out that you hadn't done anything experimental or just try out different things, but it was really good like this too. Only thing that made me wonder is that does someone actually eat macaroni&cheese with french fries? Especially when this is about a 10-years old boy. Something could be written about that? Is Tim a super-spoiled boy with a rich mom or what? Otherwise I liked many parts of the article, made me laugh several times. Good article!
3. User:Tmchale/Searching for Topological Degeneracy in the Hubbard Model with Quantum Monte Carlo - The long title seemed very promising to me, but then the content ruined the good title. I'm not saying it was bad, I just didn't find anything funny, except the last 'ignorant plebs'-part which was propably the funniest part... I'm sorry for being rude but for me it looked very much like a random wikipedia-article. Very complicated and good writing, but humour missed :/

The Woodburninator

1. User:RedHot/UnReviews:My Dinner - Fairly well written, and a pretty good concept. The writer could absolutely squeeze more comedy out of this, but my favorite of the three.
2. User:Tmchale/Searching for Topological Degeneracy in the Hubbard Model with Quantum Monte Carlo - This was a close second, and probably better thought out than the other two. A few laughs, with a decent payoff at the end. Had a concept and stuck to it. I fear that it loses out for me because of that concept however. It is not nearly as accessible as User:RedHot/UnReviews:My Dinner- which I realize is totally the point- and made me want to glaze over halfway through reading it. The ending hits this point pretty well, but I guess the concept of high language and inaccessibility ended up hurting it a bit in my mind. Good though.
3. User:TheMillionRabbit/Hold Your Wii For A Wee contest - This seemed more concerned with listing out "funny" memes (Oscar Wilde, Chuck Norris, Your Mom, etc.) than actually creating anything particularly funny. Juvenile humor can be good if done well, but this wasn't written particularly well.

Any questions about my notes, just let me know.

1. User:Zana_Dark/disturbed - My fauvorite, when comparing to the original articles! This was a very good rewrite, I've wanted the original article the fuck out of here several times, and now you made it better! POints for that. The article had fun content, good writing and funny pictures. What other one could possibly want? Very, very good.
2. User:IFYMB!/Opposite Day - Good, good article. Altough using the reverse sentences was sort of a double-edged sword; it made the article sort of fresh with a new idea (altough there's this article backwards too...), but knowing it was the same sentence just reversed, I skipped them. Maybe if something totally else is used instead? That'd be fun and challenging reading! Gave me good laughs, especially the part about Yin and Yang. The only problem was that it was pretty short, could be better with that idea. Good rewrite when comparing to the original one.
3. User:Tmchale/Ludwig Wittgenstein - The idea was really funny, and the content was too. Good, altough a bit short article. Should have maybe used more pictures, as there was only picture, which you used on the t-shirt competition too.

1. User:Tmchale/Ludwig Wittgenstein - Best realized concept in my opinion. I knew not who Ludwig Wittgenstein was before reading this article, but I learned some.
2. User:Zana_Dark/disturbed - There was nothing at all wrong with this article. Wavered for a little bit on this or Ludwig, but decided to go with my gut.
3. User:IFYMB!/Opposite Day - This didn't read as funny to me. Paragraphs of text, followed by those same paragraphs going in the opposite direction. Stuck to the concept, but I am just not a huge fan of the concept.

Now, first of all, users Zana Dark and TheMillionRabbit; what the fuck? Why did you folks put your entries under two different contest-parts? Seriously? As a revenge, I won't score those, altough I already did so on t-shirt competition a bit lower >_< Darnit. My revenges always fail somehow. Well anyways, for that other fellows:

Dick jokes belong to t-shirts. Enough said.

1. File:PenisSword.png
2. File:BananaNoWorries.png
3. File:MotorboatingIllustrated.jpg - I voted that as the worst Potatochop because it makes no sense. But it does make the best t-shirts.
4. File:WWZBDTShirtDesign.png- IN-JOKE ALERT!
5. File:Dick licker.png- Look, it's shit. OK?

Multiliteralist:

• File:PenisSword.png an obvious T-shirt
• File:MotorboatingIllustrated.jpg that one also - after it has been turned into a .png

The rest just lack punch. The Zombiebaron one is almost there but why? Next year, when he's world-famous, it will be different of course. File:Dick licker.png is funny in its way, but not quite a T-shirt. I might be swayed if you bribed me though.

I did not judge this on the scale as what's the funniest, but instead what would I wear. You know, as purchaser or such.

1. File:PenisSword.png - Good promotion for the site! Old joke but would work greatly on a shirt!
2. File:EpilepsyTShirt.png - Why did I put this no number two? Because I'm planning on a massacre this summer, and using that shirt on streets would quite surely affect greatly on epilepctic people! MWAHAHAHAHA!
3. File:MotorboatingIllustrated.jpg - Haha, pervert and funny, the way a shirt should be!
4. File:Dope_T-Shirt_Design.png - This one looks very nice!
5. File:WWZBDTShirtDesign.png - Uhh I don't know what to say about this one... It'd be a good t-shirt, I think, but I wouldn't want this. You know, Zombiebaron would be the only this shirt really fits :D
6. File:Rappus Logico Philosophicus.png - This is funny on it's way, but I wouldn't want to wear this.
7. File:BananaNoWorries.png - I didn't really understand this one... I mean, a guy who sucks banana? What? And most importantly, why?
8. File:Dick licker.png - Don't ask me why I put this on the last place... pretty obvious. I mean, a tongue that big is too absurd! It can't be! IMPOSSIBLE! NO WAY!!!
