If you aren’t already using StumbleUpon to find cool websites about all sorts of stuff, you may not get these jokes - but you should become part of the StumbleUpon social and website network! The first and last image shown here are real screenshots encountered while Stumbling, while the rest are satirical, critical and otherwise humorous responses to aspects of StumbleUpon. If you like this collection, feel free to feed, fave and/or bookmark the site to the left!
(8) Stumbling too fast: this is a real message you get when you are simply Stumbling like mad. It is probably a good sign you should be doing something else besides using StumbleUpon
(7) I HAS STMBLED TWO MUCHEZ: speaking of Stumbling too fast, there is also such a thing as Stumbling too much! This particular meme (a derivative of the LOLCATS phenomenon) started on one site and spread virally throughout StumbleUpon.
(6) The Perfect StumbleUpon Page: a fairly hilarious spoof of the somewhat formulaic content that seems to succeed more often than not on the site. This is probably related to how many Stumblers just vote on a quick view of what is visible ‘above the fold’ on a page.
 
(5) StumbleUpon Insomnia: of course, you’re really not a true Stumbler until you stay up too late Stumbling things. Hopefully, however, you’re not trying to Stumble while driving!
(4) Here’s a Suggestion: agree or disagree, this is a pretty clever way to visually play off the fact that you can, in fact, point to where peoples’ StumbleUpon buttons are. The creator also has a point: a lot of people spend a surprising amount of time trashing pages they could just Stumble past!
(3) STOP QUOTING THE ENTIRE PAGE: again, not all Stumblers think this is good advice - but we are all familiar with those reviews that replicate the entire content of the page in the review itself. The irony, of course, is that many people who saw this quoted it all!
(2) Adult StumbleUpon Feature Request Spoof: many Stumblers are all too familiar with the crossed out image on the left. A vocal minority of Stumblers keeps reintroducing that meme into the mix. One Stumbler finally got fed up and made the entire above image.
(1) You have seen all StumbleUpon pages. Explore others: this is, amazingly enough a real screenshot displayed when people have Stumbled their way through all of the content under a given tag. What makes it, of course, even funnier is the double-reading: all StumbleUpon pages? Really? That’s the end of StumbleUpon? Wow!

Ref: (6) The Perfect StumbleUpon Page
Don’t forget the dozens of websites full of bad photography.
Ref: (2) Adult StumbleUpon Feature Request Spoof
I don’t really know how much of a minority these people are since there seems to be a lot of Thumbs up for these images whenever I come across them. It really seems like stubbornness on the part of StumbleUpon to refuse to implement this feature.
PS The LOLCATS meme and all its variants are super-stale and really not funny at all. I don’t know how many times people can keep recycling the same joke.

Great SU review. I have seen most of these, but it’s great to see them in one place.

Kind of like coming to the end of the universe, is that possible? I have been getting this message for a number of categories lately, apparently StumbleUpon cannot serve new pages to me fast enough.
Okay, enough jibber jabber — I have to get back to my stumbling!
July 17th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Hah! Yes, it does rather feel that way. Searching specific tags is fun if you are researching an issue or just want to learn more about one particular thing - either there aren’t enough pages tagged ‘StumbleUpon’ or I HAS STUMBELD TWO MUCHEZ.
July 17th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
I too… “HAS STUMBELD TWO MUCHEZ”, but only on the online games topic. So I have learned to click “I like it!” so that when I get that message I can play some of the games I liked. It’s a great way to organize most topics.
Having seen every image posted on here… makes me feel like a true Stumbler!
Keep Stumbling - Quit Complaining

It’s odd. When I clicked stumble, I came to this page, and my server said that it was “Taking too long to respond. The connection has timed out.” So I had to do this odd wayward trail to get to here without stumble.
Considering that this is a page about stumbling, I find it ironic that there was such a glitch.
July 17th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
I saw the second picture and just purst out laughing. Then I read it and got sober fast (that’s me you’re talking about.
I just clicked on Stumble Upon about 4 days ago…I just can’t stop: I keep clicking just to see the next surprise!
I don’t like stoping to write this either…You know I could be STUMBLING. It’s Marvi!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
@Mouse: Yup, I think the huge traffic volume is slowing things down right now - props for finding another way on-site!
@Annette: Welcome to Stumbling! Ohhh yes, yes that second one has been a huge hit. An author of WebUrbanist actually made it but it has popped up all over. Any of these you don’t find funny now you might find even more funny the more you Stumble!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Super funny web page thanks :-)
July 17th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
I can’t STUMBLE enough!! I LOVE IT and suggest it allll the time to friends, acquaintances, enemies, animals, insects, spirits, etc
July 17th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
wow i found this off stumbleupon and right when i stumbled away i went to “The Perfect StumbleUpon Page”
July 18th, 2007 at 6:32 am
I don’t know how people would get to the “you’ve Stumbled everything” page, as I can only get through a couple Stumbles before I get sucked into the topic off on a hundred other tangents…
July 18th, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Though it is a real page, the page shown above (for clarification) is if you’ve Stumbled everything under the tag ‘StumbleUpon’ - you would have to be strapped to a bed with nothing but a StumbleUpon button to click for it to happen I think.
July 18th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
the other version of number one is “StumbleUpon is unable to find high quality sites within your current topics. Please select more topics and rate your favorite pages to access more sites”…..while at the same time getting “You have chosen the maximum 127 topics. You must remove some to add more”
July 18th, 2007 at 1:24 pm
Hahaha, that’s awesome! If anyone is interested and has a screenshot of that one please add your email or website to a comment and we will contact you about adding it to the list.
July 19th, 2007 at 12:34 am
That’s flippin hillarious… Great Post!
July 19th, 2007 at 1:24 pm

July 20th, 2007 at 1:37 am
It’s absolutely true SU is addictive…
Thank god I can do this while being paid (and charge customers fees for work some newbie scripts are doing for me).
July 20th, 2007 at 8:38 am
this is sad - but true - I’ve seen all of these… but I still love SU…
July 20th, 2007 at 8:35 pm
I LIKE “I HAS STMBLED TWO MUCHEZ:” hahaha :)
July 23rd, 2007 at 4:49 pm

July 29th, 2007 at 11:00 pm
I love Stumble!! So many sites i would of never found…or even thought of looking for! Awesome!!!
July 30th, 2007 at 6:46 am
I stumbled upon the ultimate stumble page the other day. Simply hilarious :-)
July 31st, 2007 at 12:57 pm
SU is the best…its a shame some people i know think it isn’t that great..its helped me learn so much :D
August 5th, 2007 at 1:56 pm
i have seen the stumbled all pages notice more than once
August 6th, 2007 at 4:26 am
It’s amazing: I believe I have seen almost all of the pages you guys have collected. This make me think that StumbleUpon may actually be a lot smaller than one would think. I still believe it’s a great tool. But does anyone know, whether there is a page, where you can actually read the reviews people have written. I don’t think I have ever seen that …!
August 8th, 2007 at 5:08 am
I spent more time SUing since I have the Stumble.
August 20th, 2007 at 10:34 pm
I get that one that says you have seen all the pages alot..do you think they’re trying to tell me something? :P
September 3rd, 2007 at 6:21 pm
I just signed up for this service. Looks interesting. I wonder how addictive it is. lol.
September 11th, 2007 at 7:01 am
SU rocks. It is a great way to discover new stuffs
September 12th, 2007 at 7:34 am

This is kind of ironic as this page was the last page in the category and I reached the end when I clicked Stumble. I had hit the back button to come tell you about it. lol.
