Line 97:
* ''Encyclopedia Dramatica''. Every subculture, TV show, film, and genre of music is somehow deemed "retarded," "shitty," or their favorite insult of all, "gay." Other than schadenfreude, these gentlemen don't enjoy ''anything''. However, if you're looking for details on an [[Memetic Mutation|internet meme]], you'll find it there. Essentially a Wiki maintained by the residents of 4Chan, particularly /b/. It's generally seen as satirical rather than completely genuine hate though.
** Almost all of the articles targeting a race, a subculture or a group are written by people who are members of said group (for example, the articles on Jews, blacks or autists)
* ED's rival, [[Uncyclopedia]], is more like a parody version of [[Wikipedia]], and the humor is more often flat-out nonsense than insulting. (There is a guidance page titled "How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid", but the advice isn't always followed.) Unfortunately, this isn't the case with the [

* [http://screamsheet.wordpress.com The Screamsheet] has a lot of this trope, especially if the site owner gets talking about [[David Lynch]], ''Highlander'', or bad comics in general. He has apparently made more of an attempt to give credit where it is due and focus on the positive aspects of the things he discusses, but still does plenty of ranting and raving.
* The abridged movie scripts on [[The Editing Room]] condense movie scripts into a few minutes' worth of material with [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarious results]]. As in many of the above examples, this is done purely for [[Rule of Funny|humor's sake]] and the site's author provides a separate star rating indicating what he ''actually'' thought of a movie.
