Encyclopaedia Dramatica's Ireland

Slutmonkey57b

The poll is: Is the ED's entry for Ireland accurate?

http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Ireland
NB: the ED is generally NSFW, though the Ireland entry is merely gratutitously in bad taste instead of pornographic.

Personally, I particularly enjoyed the sections on Art, Literature and Norn Iron.

is that poll for real

Frighteningly Accurate? where is the option for a load of bollocks

Its a bit glass-half-empty alright but if it wasn't then it wouldn't be so funny.

Ah sure Ireland isn't like that at all. Are ye havin a pint?

Absolutely brilliant

Especially loved

In the 1960s, the Irish attempted to take over the United States by being all charming. The plot was foiled by American patriot Lee Harvey Oswald.

"Population analysts infer that if immigration continues at it's present rate, by 2010, the average Irish person will be 23% more intelligent, good-looking, hard-working, and sober than they are today."

Load of bollocks is right.

the Shades

That's so unlike Ireland, bordering on racism and stereotyping and grossly inaccurate that I'm guessing it was written by one of the writers of Fair City.

InFront

Complete rubbish, don't like either of the poll options either tbh

The site as a whole isn't too bad, an awful lot of porn on it though but theres some funny stuff in between all of that.

I know it's a joke but it is actually quite accurate imho in many areas.

- attitudes to alcohol
- aesthetic benefits of immigrants
- celtic tiger being a myth

Recent research by British Scientists has discovered a large amount of a physical phenomenon called "suck" emanating from British Television.

Classic

One glance at the plethora of grossly overweight (sometimes pregnant) women in the Capital city of Dublin, who insist on wearing belly tops designed for women vastly more attractive than themselves, is evidence enough for this.

Nice find.

Now this is a story all about how
Saddam got hung turned upside down
Id like to take a minute chill here with me,
Ill tell you how Saddam became the fake prince of WMDs

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN western Iraq born and raised
Killin Kurds was how he spent most of his days
Chillin the palace, relaxin all cool
Raping some virgins outside by the pool
When a couple of Bushes who were up to no good
Started dropping bombs on his neighborhood
He made one little movie and cheney got all scared
And said FIND HIM AND PUT HIM ON TV BEING DRAGGED OUT OF HIS LAIR
He whistled for his trial but when it came near
The judge was UN and obviously a queer
If anything you could say that this man was ****ed
So I thought awe forget it and smoked a fat blunt
I came on irc around six or seven
Heard he was dead raping virgins in Heaven
Looked at my Kingdom, said goodbye to Saddam
To sit on my Throne the Fresh Prince of your mom

Brilliant.lol

Didnt even crack a smile reading it. I could write funnier myself. It's rambling and grammatically painful to read.

faceman

Ah sure Ireland isn't like that at all. Are ye havin a pint?

That was funny. It even funnier reading the responses saying it was crap. Are we no longer able to laugh at ourselves?

zuutroy

I'd be the first to laugh if it was remotely funny. Its just a collection of old stereotypes thats poorly written with some swearing for effect.

Nyeh. The uncyclopedia entry is better.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Complete rubbish.

We're a nation of such sophistication and artistry that people flock to our shores to get away fron such anti-anglo drink binges. I mean when was the last time you saw anyone wearing a green overcoat or orange beard in temple bar? When was the last time you saw a teenager in a miniskirt getting sick in the streets of our fair capital? When was the last time you saw a nude painting or sculpture and not think "****ing perv"...?

It just doesn't happen, does it?

Goodshape

Uncyclopedia is better alright, but they're both hilarious

Population

4.2 Million Approx. The Irish population has swelled in recent years due to immigration, which has reversed the historical trend of every Irish person running for the exits in a mad dash to escape the moribund economy, hidebound Catholicism, poxy weather, and general soul-crushing spiritless attitude to life that consitutes the Irish character. Population analysts infer that if immigration continues at it's present rate, by 2010, the average Irish person will be 23% more intelligent, good-looking, hard-working, and sober than they are today.

Excellent.

Northern Irish people are more evil, violent, and equally if not more alcoholic than the Southerners.

so true!!

A bit lame tbh. Sort of The Panel out-takes meets one of Langerlands lesser Flash movies.

I find the Uncyclopedia to be more of that ineffable internet strain of enforced "zaniness". Y'know, like the Cuckoo's nest in wiki format.

"ZOMFG I IS TEH CRAZEE I NOES NON SEKWETTERS".

I can imagine the average Uncyclopedia contributor having at least 4 pairs of novelty socks. Reading Uncyclopedia is like being stuck in a lift with someone who thought that Chuck Norris facs were funny for more than 10 minutes, and will continue to remind you of this.

Whereas ED is a bit more scabrous towards horrible internet phenomena such as the entire membership of LiveJournal and crypto-paedophilic ainme fans.

In summation: ED = Uncyclopedia - (forced kerayzeeness) + bile.

is the best response to the idea that uncyclopedia is teh funnah.

AnonoBoy

Hardly worth the effort that's put into it. About two decent laughs from that entry. Such obviously forced humour and spite aimed towards one's own country gets tiresome.

Gods, oh Gods AH has discovered Encyclopaedia Dramatica the universe will start imploding.

Indeed. I have a suspicion that certain boards members* will be creating entries thereon poking fun at currently hallowed members of boards who sit ensconced on jewelled thrones immune from all forms of even light-hearted criticism**.
