So I had this epic realization about Encyclopdia Dramatica

50% tries too hard at trolling and 50% is merely a bunch of rageguys who take it seriously and think contributing makes them this high up badass.
So that's about it.

ED is actually quite informative when it comes to internet
And here was me thinking it was people exaggerating the shit out of everything to be funny.
Rated informative.
ED is fucking hilarious.
It really shows the truth in most things.
Op is biased.

and stupid.
OP probably has something on it written about him or a friend

I think you're 100% of that population you made up in your realization.
ED is [b]SATIRE[/b]. It's informative when it comes to the internet but has no practical use in reality. The point of ED went way over the OP's head.
Just use a popup blocker and keep your mouse far away from the links to the left and you'll be fine.

Even though my thread crashed and burned... Ah, why the hell not.
Yeah, I get that, I've stated to others who are legitimately *pissed* about something in ED that it's all done for lulz.
Still, this opinion stands. I think.
Uncyclopedia > ED
Deal with it.

Uncyclopedia is a comedic black hole. It's painful knowing that there is something out there that actually manages to be [I]that[/I] unfunny.

You just figured it out?
That's pretty much what TVtropes has to say on the subject too.

Tvtropes>Uncyclopedia>ED.
Uncyclopedia is, from what I've heard, what satire ought to be. ED is bad, lowest quality lazy satire, what my dad calls lowest common denominator; written by idiots.
Offended page

I find wikipedia articles more entertaining.
Uncyclopedia is boring as fuck. The humor lacks boldness that ED has, and it has no wit to substitute for that. Not saying ED has wit or taste, but at least it's blunt and isn't afraid to call things by their name.
The articles on Uncyclopedia are just random shit about random stuff like "Youtube was created by 3 ex playboy employees". Oh wow, how edgy and original!
ED used to be based on meme shit but that's changing. It's surprisingly accurate in describing things.
The ED Facepunch article is the most true piece of writing in the history of mankind.
ED Page: Bunch of memes, furry porn, and gore pictures thrown together.
Uncyclopedia Page: Actual humor.

Oh no could it be that some people just don't find memes funny?

This is Fast Threads, explaining why this thread has much a high concentration of people who find ED hilarious.

Are you kidding? It's gotten worse. Every single article now is just "Durr this guy's a fag, you're a fag if you like him. Trololo!" "This company's a fag. You're a retard. Trolled xxxDDD!"
Nobody even tries anymore.

Yeah cause Chuck Norris jokes aren't a meme. At least ED doesn't act proud of the fact that it's littered with memes. Hell, Uncyclopedia's full of terrible running jokes that get referenced as often as ED links to the "over 9000" page, those might as well be counted as memes. Also, what little original "humor" there is on Uncyclopedia can be seen coming from a mile away.
I agree that ED's quality has dropped though, but it's not the content of the articles, it's the articles themselves. All they seem to care about nowadays is cataloging semi-famous people on youtube/deviantart/furaffinity.
TvTroupes is informative, but I classify it as being the same kind of wiki as ED and Uncyclopedia.
Yes, TvTropes is that sort of wiki. But it's also useful for purposes besides memes and internet lore. Like, say, assesing your writing. I'm not actually that fond of it. Falls too much into the golden mean fallacy.
In what way is this epic.
ED has some useful information for people that have never been to internet before. No, seriously. I had to do an essay in school once, and i remember displaying a few ED pages as a prime example of what internet users are usually like, but also how their attitude is completely normal to other internet users. It's almost like a guidebook to people that saw their buddy going to 4chan. They have no idea what it is but it is exciting and ED has information that just might prevent them from being trolled to death, made depressed and an hero'd by pressure.
I don't find ED even offensive, i just read some stuff from there that i didn't know.
