If you want something like that, you may want to try http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. On Wikipedia itself, there are a few humerous articles, but they do not fall under the catagory of 'articles'. For example, there is Wikipedia:Bad Jokes and Other Deleted Nonsense. I think the reason things like this are not more common is that they would start to over shadow the actual Wikipedia articles, and would be hard to maintain. Generally, the humour is Wikipedia based, such as talking about 'Wikignomes' and the various 'Wikipedia Religions'. It would not be good for Wikipedia if it became a compendium of jokes.

The article Ballzatron has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. See WP:NFT. NawlinWiki 15:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ballzatron.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
