"fake and gay" is the combination of the two most common insults in the limited vocabulary of the stereotypical YouTube troll. They were mashed together as a parody by popular webshow host RayWilliamJohnson (or RWJ) in his online series, "=3".

Since then, fantards of the show who are incapable of original wit use "fake and gay" as a sort of battle cry, spamming it in the comments section of any video Ray links them to- much to the bemusement of whoever made the vid or anyone else who watches it.

Contrary to popular belief/denial, "fake and gay" was never funny.

Variations include "false and homosexual", while, although slightly funnier, is equally as unoriginal.

A fake name derived from a sexual term or phrase where the words are manipulated and mispelled in order to make it look like a real person's name.

Similar to Murphy's Law, Poe's Law concerns internet debates, particularly regarding religion or politics.

"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

In other words, No matter how bizzare, outrageous, or just plain idiotic a parody of a Fundamentalist may seem, there will always be someone who cannot tell that it is a parody, having seen similar REAL ideas from real religious/political Fundamentalists.

Parody of network television newscasts that exploits the absurd in current events for humorous intent rather than being concerned with providing complete and well-balanced information. Somewhat of a misnomer, fake news often covers actual public figures when they are caught making comments that reveal their utter stupidity and/or hypocrisy.

Not to be confused with pure news satire such as found in The Onion.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central is the primary television venues for fake news.

A failed attempt at a Wikipedia parody that is actually a cover for a non-stop bitching and whining fest, in which it's users insult things for simply being popular to give off the illusion of being iconoclastic or edgy.

For every entry that may actually be funny, there are at least five that are simply a twenty year old loser coming up with sentences to fit the word faggotry into while "sticking it" to some sub-culture of people no one in their right minds gives two shits about.

Tips for the budding ED writer:

Believe that the word "lulz" is some magical incantation that successfully shields you from potential scrutiny. Apparently when you do everything that your site condemns, you are no longer a neckbeard basement dweller, obsessed loser if you write for ED and use "I did it for teh lulz" as an opening disclaimer.

Each entry should read like the World's Angriest Mad Lib. Take X (the subject that will garner the most "look at me, I need attention because no one loves me" points) then start with a stupid origin ripped from the previous 500 entries. Swear a lot. Link to no less than 400 other entries, 200 of which should be their lame inside jokes/memes that are somehow less retarded than everyone else's. Annie may! Betty Sue! 100 years ago! *wipes tear* Pure comedy gold.

Basically just copy and past a previous entry, take out the subject key words, add a few "faggot...

Fanta Claus is Comin' is a parody of 'Fanta Claus is Coming to Twon' the prequel to 'Rudoplh the Reindeer' spoof 'Rudoph the 5 legged reindeer' by Most Offensive Videos on the net. Banned on several sites. The online sto motion movie tells the twisted story of young Fanta who leave Saphire, his mammy, to bring Kwanzaa snow from Shizzerville. Unfortunately he turns into a series of misfit sickos and spurts jizz onto each one, including a schoolteacher, Knee High, (who teaches trainables), Brair Sharecropper, who teaches him the meaning of Kwanzaa, and several others. Narrated by Special Delivery Spooger, the most twisted postman ever. Banned from YouTube after release in 2008. Sickest animation ever.
