I don't know if this is enough for the main page, but I think the card "Friendly Bartender" in the game Hearthstone qualifies as a honorable mention. A cow/tauren bartender which emotes "Don't forget to tip your tauren." when summoned and "Bottoms up!" when attacking is hilarious. IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:470:71B1:A:FF:0:0:1 ( talk) 15:50, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Change from: "Cow tipping is the purported activity of sneaking up on any unsuspecting or sleeping upright cow and pushing it over for entertainment. The practice of cow tipping is generally considered an urban legend,[1] and stories of such feats viewed as tall tales.[2]"
To: "Cow tipping is the purported activity of sneaking up on any unsuspecting or sleeping upright cow and pushing it over for entertainment. Cow tipping refers to pushing over cows only and does not include pulling methods such as grabbing cows by the neck or legs as is done in steer wrestling, or methods which use ropes to push over cows such as cow casting.

If anyone was cow tipping it would be on youtube. It's not. With all those cameras out there, and people putting everything under the sun, and moon on youtube, there's no cow tipping. Best statistical proof in the world. 2600:8807:5400:28F0:4B1:D602:D837:1F70 ( talk) 09:57, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
First paragraph; fourth sentence
