The Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball

CONCEPT:

The Aristocrats is often lauded as the world's dirtiest joke. But to seasoned purveyors of this joke, it is an opportunity to make the bizarre, grotesque and immoral become a platform for insane hilarity. As we enter this season of blessings-counts and humble pie, this platform seems all-too-perfect for the sick and twisted minds of Uncyclopedia. A beautiful expression of the first amendment in all her Norman Rockwellian glory.

In the contest, editors shall create a subpage in their Userspace solely devoted to their telling of the joke. Length, formatting and delivery are left discretion of the editor. Once the contest commences, a 3-person panel of judges shall elect one winner and two runner-ups.

RULES:

1. All registered users may submit one (1) entry to the contest.
2. While portions may overlap, any reproduction of another person's telling of the joke (be they regular people, fellow editors, or comedians such as those seen in The Aristocrats film) is grounds for instant disqualification.
3. Out of fairness to all participants, users may NOT record audio versions of their work.
4. Banned or suspended users and/or sock puppet users are ineligible for participation.
5. Judges are ineligible for participation.

JUDGING:

The 3-person judging panel shall individually score each entry using a specified 1-to-10 scoring template not unlike the one used for Pee Review. The elements in question shall include:

1. Overall Humor – Judges shall decide this field based on the entry they find the funniest, regardless of other judging fields.
2. Delivery of Humorous Elements – As the delivery of this joke shall be textual, judges shall decide this field based on their perception of the joke's delivery in this medium.
3. Use of Obscenity and Profanity – Profanity, obscenity, debauchery and lewdness are inherent elements of The Aristocrat's. However, it is the clever utilization of these elements that determine their effectiveness in conveying the humor of the joke. As such, herein judges shall decide the effectiveness of this field.
4. Miscellaneous – Points awarded for style, originality, design flourish, etc. depending upon the opinions of the judge.

WINNERS: The contest's winner shall be dubbed Uncyclopedia Aristocrat en Regalia, and receive an honorary template to that effect. First and second runners up shall receive Uncyclopedia Aristocrat Honoree templates.
