This rides too hard on making fun of everyone else's entries, and doesn't have enough original content of its own.
-1
Not having enough original content on its own could be a fair assessment (I suppose we'd need to see how well this holds up after the contest is all said and done), butI do feel that I should clarify that this is an affectionate parody. Apart from the laser butt disease, I love all of those entries, and just wanted to see if having them spouted by a hyperactive alien would be any fun.

Meta-commentary on some aspect of the contest just doesn't rub me the right way and feels like a somewhat lazy and cheap shot, if not at the authors (I did notice the parody was more affectionate than malicious, which was nice), then at the contest itself, which I have noticed that we tend to trend towards for at least one entry in the last couple contests.
I'm always disappointed when one of these entries show up for a contest, because they get eaten up without pushing the envelope or trying new ideas. "Look how ballsy I am for doing this commentary on the contest hahaha! xP" isnot how I want to remember this rather significant point in the site's history.
Perhaps you didn't understand my entry
The joke waslaser butt disease
(that's the joke)
I understood it well enough to copy the entire joke into this article, but that don't mean I like it. It just made a good stinger, 'cause this motherfucker can't even count words.
And if I ever edit this further, it'll be (along with the wizard & catgirl cyborgs) one of only two direct references to SCPs in the article. I'm thinking the others will be deliberately cliche spoofs on famous stories by the big three.

Needs more gore.
Other than that: +1, though I feel kinda left out.
I made the choices for the entries based on A) how well they were doing [which would maximize the likelihood that people in the future will have read those entries] and B) how easy they were to fit into the format.

I wholly support the ballsiness of this submission. As I noted in chat last night, I thought you were bluffing.
So glad that you weren't.
+1
I'm going to neutral vote for now. Mind you I laughed at the submission and I like it, but most of the amusement comes from meta stuff. I feel as if this would be better as a -J.
That would beperfect if 2000 wasn't already taken as a J number. Maybe the numbers could be somehow reassigned?
I waskidding when I said you should post this. When we fall in love and take off on a bank-robbery spree, I'm not letting you drive.
edit: autocorrect trying to get the hook up for me
Don't worry, I would have posted it even if you'd directly advised me not to.

If this stays on the site, new people will see it as a boring alien making fun of other SCPs. It's a cute joke, but not suitable in the way it's presented.
Exactly. Without awareness of the contest, this is kinda crap.
