Hobgoblin

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

(Redirected from Hobgoblins)

Primarily used as a synonym for Brittany Hubble, the infamous "knobgobblin hobgoblin". Brittany Hubble is a notorious hobgoblin whose only pleasures in life are scurrying and defecating. “A hobgoblin once tried to trick me. I ate his liver with some crystal meth and a nice bottle of Jack Danivels.”

~ Oscar Wilde on hobgoblins

A hobgoblin is an amusing creature typically found in folklore tales and role palying games. As a result, it is normally only found in the conversations of little children, pitiful nerds, folklorists and dead people.

[edit] Origins

The term hobgoblin has several possible origins, and often leads to heated debate among folklorists and some particularly anal nerds. Not surprisingly, little children and dead people are too preoccupied with various other matters to find this lame subject interesting.

Some of the possible origins include:

Ancient British hippies (a.k.a. druids) who inexplicably referred to the invasion of goblins (i.e. French people) as 'Robin Goblins';
The term 'nob-goblin', which referred to a particularly well-hung goblin;
ISP Customer Servive Representaives who are hot and kind of nerdy because they know stuff like Linux and servers.
Nostrodamus' premonition of the birth of Tom Cruise;
The term 'nob-gobbler' which referred to ... well, you can guess!

Personally, I (the writer of this nonsense) side with the last one, because it is purile and vulgar.

[edit] Physical traits

The classic definition of a hobgoblin describes a small, mischievous and swarthy creature, which scuttles around causing trouble.

However, a more modern definition emerged through the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game. In this setting a hobgoblin is seen as a large and menacing monster. But considering this description was created by weedy, stunted nerds that doesn't necessarily mean it would be a large scarey creature in the eyes of normal people.
