1. The Credit Card Prank

With over 7.5 million views, clearly no one has paid even the slightest attention to this article.





2. The Super Bowl Prank.

Pfft... Anyone heard of this one?







/BS




3. Real Life Lemmings Prank

127,417 views. TOTALLY NOT WORTH MENTIONING!





4. Harry Potter Arrives On New York Subway

Dude, who watches Harry Potter anyway? I mean, how much attention will Harry Potter draw to a website? ZERO!! DUH!!





5. Derision Points: The Bush Memoir Prank

With almost 23,000 views, this is totally lame. Lets go do something stupid and unfunny to a cubical!


Our fearless leader.



6. The Home page Experiment

I mean, come on. Someone making fun of themselves while making fun of the system? That is totally not in style





7. Ho Ho Holy Shakespeare! Dasypygal Kicks Secret Santa Butt!

Yea right, I mean who would think something like the most awesomest Secret Santa in Secret Santa history make a list? Probably someone who doesn't know what ZUG's Secret Santa program is.





8. The Rating Formula (RF)

Any article with a picture like this is obviously not worthy of any list what-so-ever.





9. Crappy Consumer Reports: French Fry Taste Test


Honestly, who eats fast food fries?




10. First Rickroll in Space

I mean, this is just stupid. Top ten, pfft... Top 100 maybe. 27,000 views. The actual Youtube video is flirting with 100,000 views. We made international news. We made Digg. We made Gwaker. We made Gizmodo. We made Reddit. If you Google "rickroll space", we take up the first five pages. We even made the local news in LA. Worthy of a list? Absolutely not.

Seriously though, I totally agree with you. And Straw didn't make me say that.

Do you know where those zugs have been? Check out the roller coaster article again. I know I will!

I made a list!

I like this list. I also like the fascious tone of the write ups.

I'm sorry. I'm a horrible human being. I blame you people, though. I used to be nice before I came here. Now I'm always just completely and obnoxiously facetious.

Facetious/f(tm)^s"SH(tm)s/
Adjective: Treating serious issues with deliberately inappropriate humor. Flippant.

Thanks to Manhole's excellent parody, we went back and looked at the Top 10. If we add up all the views on multi-part features, we get a slightly different reading:

1. Most Awesome Roller Coaster Prank Photos
2. Penis in the Paper Prank
3. The Giant R2D2 Prank
4. The Starbucks Return Prank: Will Starbucks Really Return ANYTHING?
5. My Week of Eating Nothing But Candy
6. Can the Twilight Saga Stop a Bullet?
7. How to Prank Digg for $9.95
8. The Prank That Only Requires Three Fingers
9. Obama's Overweight Prank
10. First Rickroll in Space

So you can see that "First Rickroll in Space" really IS in our top 10 in terms of views -- and it was certainly #1 in terms of media coverage.

Also, Robb Posch's "My Week of Eating Nothing But Candy," which was a late entrant, is already at #5.

The next 10, for those who are interested:

11. The Parody Movie Movie Marathon
12. Top 3 Super-Science Pranks!
13. The Tea Party Prank: How I Got My Butt Kicked (Literally), Just a Few Feet Away From Sarah Palin
14. David Thorne Pranked 230,000 Facebook Users
15. The Walmart Experiment: 24 Hours Locked Inside a Super Walmart
16. Ultimate Insane Chocolate Bar Taste Test
17. The Atari 2600 Overdose Experiment
18. The Heinz Ketchup Prank
19. The Twitter Bird Prank
20. Erection Dysfunction Photoshop Challenge

Some of the top 20 were actually written before 2010, so we could filter it further, but at this point we're going to call it a year.

Happy nude year.

That will still not get as many views or orbs as 1 pic of your wifes panties.

Sorry.

So, I can't kill you, can't make you conform, can't sleep with your wife, why do I need to listen to you?
