Uncyclopedia, "the content-free encyclopedia", or "fake Wikipedia", is a website parody of Wikipedia founded by Jonathan Huang and a friend called "Stillwaters" on January 5, 2005. It is a comedy wiki. The information there is not factual. It is meant as a joke. Users make fun of things by creating pages about them. For example, the page on George W. Bush says that he is same person as the Evil Emperor in the movie Star Wars. Uncyclopedia, unlike Wikipedia, has its own opinions about things, an example being that Uncyclopedia says Aquaman is the worst Superhero ever. Uncyclopedia also has its opinion about Conservapedia, labeling conservatists (People who use Conservapedia) as "retards".

Its logo is a hollow potato named Sophia, making fun of Wikipedia's globe logo. They have a guide on writing called HTBFANJS (How To Be Funny And Not Just Stupid).
