Talk:Rubber chicken

Archie Mcphee
That little bit of info on something a company does does not require citation. If it is believed to be untrue, instead of adding a 'citation needed', you should check it out as per wiki policy. But I don't believe for a second that someone is feeling that the claim of a company printing an explanation on the history of rubber chickens is dubious or that they can't find the info. Perfect example of how lazy people who want to feel like they're doing something productive and feel smart just weaken an article by using 'citation needed' with something that can be checked easily. This is why we can't have nice things (*read* enjoy an article on something stupid without seeing the worthless nature of humanity and thus ruining it)

Any further discussion on this should be by someone who finds a picture (probably suuuuuuper-duper hard) or just removes the 'citation needed'. Not everything needs citation. Some things are just easily observable as either true or false. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.64.65.94 (talk) 07:14, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

History?
Does anybody have any idea where the idea of the rubber chicken came about? Are there any famous comedic skits or comedians that used a rubber chicken? If one, say, gets a rubber chicken for Christmas, what could he do with it? authraw 18:09, 27 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I got a rubber chicken as a present once, just today I wore it like a stethoscope. Coleslava 22:38, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Origins
I don't want to get into an edit war over a rubber chicken, so let's talk this out first. Firstly, a poem is not a source; if you can provide another one, let's see it, please.

Secondly, you shouldn't just blind revert, especially after I've tried to clean up the prose and make it more encyclopedic *and* place the reference in the correct context. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I see you added it again based on the manufacturer's tag. That's the other reference I saw. I think I saw it referred to on the manufacturer's own website. -Barry- 03:30, 30 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, it's from a web discussion (the link is in the edit summary). The source is still third-hand, but it's close enough and at least spoken of in a factual context rather than a poetic one. Anyhow, it's sorted. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 03:45, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Atheist Rubber Chickens?
""Rubber Chicken" is also a term for an atheist who dismisses the very notion of gods."

Could someone cite a source for this? Sounds fairly pejorative to me - and I'm not even an atheist.

Rubber Chicken in Monty Python
Removed erroneous reference to rubber chickens in Monty Python. The knight's chicken is a real, plucked, dead one. Please see the Talk:Monty_Python page... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.169.3 (talk) 21:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

 * clearly not a food & drink article Chrismorey (talk) 01:55, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Confusing
I didn't find this article particularly confusing but have tidied it up. I removed the Monty Python ref since as said above, it wasn't a rubber chicken they used. It still lacks sources, and reads rather like a spoof. "Low importance" is flattering to it Chrismorey (talk) 01:57, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Rubber chickens at LGBT events
Anyone know the significance of people carrying around rubber chickens at LGBT events?

Photo
I believe the photo should be updated to one that is more clear and focused on the subject. Grammarpolice119 (talk) 18:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
