The poor meme-ridden "comedy" website Uncyclopedia is the stuff of internet legend and infamy. The site which originated in 1860 is now a multi-national effort and is viewed as best the best of its kind by some. Uncyclopedia currently specializes in tedious mockery of perceived competitors and petty in-fighting, with much of the content viewed as mass-produced junk, however there remains a peculiar fondness for some of its articles by fanatics. The site has however been viewed as a waste of server space by its host the evil Wikia Empire. —Uncyclopedia, on Uncyclopedia

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! —Uncyclopedia on AAAAAAAAA!

The Other Wiki. No, the Other Other Wiki.

Affectionate Parody of Wikipedia that would like to be to wikis what The Onion is to newspapers. It advertises itself as the “content-free encyclopedia”.

Can be found here. The “good” articles (so judged by Uncyclopedia users) are listed here.

The site's guidelines and rules are written in a truthful and non-satirical, but still humorous tone, the best example of which is “How To Be Funny and Not Just Stupid”

International editions are notorious for sometimes creating new puns for their titles. Désencyclopedie (“discyclopedia”), the French version, has a pair of dice (“dés” in French) as logo, the Norwegian version is called Ikkepedia (“notpedia”), the Russian version is Absurdopedia, the Spanish version is Inciclopedia and the Danish version is called “Spademanns Leksikon”, a pun between respected Danish encyclopedia Lademanns Leksikon and “spade”, Danish slang for “retard”. In the Mandarin version, the name is still transliterated from Wikipedia, but the first word used here also means “fake”. Necyclopaedia, the Latin version, simply transposes the first two letters of “encyclopaedia” to form the Latin word ne, “not”. The Italian version is called Nonciclopedia, basically the same pun as the original one. The Japanese version is called Ansaikuropedia, from the katakana rendering of Uncyclopedia and is notorious for such bashing of Seiyuu and Anime that in some occasions surpasses that of Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Let it be noted that TV Tropes listed them before they listed TV Tropes. And as far as we know, All The Tropes has so far escaped their notice.
