Uncyclopedia: between parody and reality (Danas subheader)

Mark Pullen (12 Decembar, 2006 - 12:42)


In all honesty, it’s not very often that I laugh out loud. I often chuckle to myself or smile widely when amused, but actually letting rip with a hearty chortle is a rarity.

Da budem iskren, retko kada se nasmejem glasno. Često se prigušeno smejem sam sebi ili koristim širok osmeh kada mi je nešto smešno, ali je retko kada se baš opustim i nasmejem glasno i iskreno.

 Sa ovim na umu, zahvlajujem beogradskom dnveniku Danas (12. Dec. st.19) što su štampali članak o sajtu ’uncyclopedia’ u današnjem broju.

It is with this in mind that I would like to thank Belgrade daily Danas (12th Dec, p.19) for publishing an article on the site uncyclopedia in today’s issue.

 Ovaj sajt će vas zabaviti i naljutiti u isto vreme: ja sam se nasmeao glasno bez ikoga u blizini, ali skoro da sam i opsovao glasno.

This site will both entertain and annoy you in one fell swoop: it made me laugh out loud with nobody else around, but almost prompted me to swear aloud as well!

 Moj lični favoriti su, naravno:

My particular favourites, of course, are:

 http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Hull

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Bosnia 

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Serbia

Uživajte!

Enjoy!

Da, odlicna sprdnja

Ah, it's great. When I first discovered it, I tried typing in various things that came to my mind - and there were entries for all of them! Some articles aren't that funny, but most are - and in various ways: parody, ridiculous, surreal, referential...

"Our Lord Nikola Tesla" - LOL indeed!

Try Oscar Wild. It's a reacurring uncyclopedia meme. I suppose like Chuck Norris has been.

Mark, what, pray tell, made you almost insult out loud?

E, a sada na srpskom.

Ah, od jaja je. kacam ga prvi put provalio, probo sam dukucam stosta sto mi pade na pametaaaargh

What almost made me swear

Mark Pullen (12 Decembar, 2006 - 15:04)

What almost made me swear out loud (although to be fair I wasn’t too close to profanities)?

On the Hull page:-
“The Hull accent is also notoriously irritating” –
that’s my accent, daft lad!
“The city of Hull was founded … in 1706” –
Hull was founded in 1299!
“People from Goole affectionately call Hull’s residents 'Codheads'” –
we all know that only those from West Hull (Black & White supporters) stink of fish and are known as Codheads!

On the Serbia page:-
“At first, linking the terms "Culture" and "Serbia" together might seem like a special kind of moron, an oxymoron.” –
Come off it!

All in all, though, the site’s a great ‘banter acceptance’ exercise.

Culture and Serbia

tnosugar (12 Decembar, 2006 - 15:10)

the author was probably slavic and meant to say linking "good manners" and "Serbia".

My favourite part is the one

Jasmina (12 Decembar, 2006 - 15:50)

My favourite part is the one about Croatian history, i.e. "The greatest sons and daughters in Croatian History":)))

http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Croatian_History

Also, from the part about Serbia, I believe that this line is a real jewel:

"Croats
Most people think that Serbs hate Croats. But that's not true, no! Serbs love Croats as Croats make-up funny cartoon character's names, like "Spuzva Bob Kvadra Hlace" and "Zekoslav Mrkvic", and run Star Trek on their national television."

"Hrvati - najstariji slavenski narod"

My favourite part is the one about Croatian history,

Hrvatska-nakladn]ištvo-prezimena-Šimunović

Treće izdanje Šimunovićevih "Hrvatskih prezimena"

ZAGREB, 7. prosinca 2006. (Hina) - Vodeći hrvatski onomastičar i dijalektolog Petar Šimunović izjavio je, u povodu objavljivanja trećega, izmijenjena i dopunjena, izdanja knjige "Hrvatska prezimena" kako u knjizi nijedan prezimenski problem nije izostavljen te da nije želio obraditi svako pojedino prezime jer ih ima nekoliko stotina tisuća.

"Obradio sam prezimena koja su rjeđa, jezično zanimljiva, ona na osnovi kojih se čovjek može zaputiti u istraživanje vlastita prezimena, jer to je najveći dobitak", rekao je.

Po Šimunovićevim riječima Hrvati su najstariji slavenski narod u kojega su se javila prezimena, u 12. stoljeću, pa neka možemo pratiti od tada do danas. Dodao je kako su se u slavenskom pravoslavnom svijetu prezimena javila tek u 19. stoljeću i slabije su obrađena, pa svoju knjigu smatra najopsežnijom i najiscrpnijom.

(…)

Petar Šimunović (1933.) tajnik je Razreda za filološke znanosti HAZU-a od 2004. Osnivač je i urednik onomastičkog časopisa "Folia onomastica Croatica". Sam i suautorstvu napisao je 20-ak knjiga, uz ine, Bračku toponimiju i Rječnik bračkih čakavskih govora.

Prosto neverovatno da neko potroši vreme i energiju da napravi takvu bezvezariju!?

Još neverovatnije je da je to nekome i smešno!?!?

Sajt je fantastican i izuzetno duhovit. Ocigledno je da ljudi koji ucestvuju u kreiranju istog dolaze sa raznih krajeva sveta, buduci da su parodije na svaki od pojmova onako, sto bi rekli ovi nasi preko Drine, "prave".
Preporucujem da pogledate i viceve. Ima i morbidnih, priznajem.
