搞笑诺贝尔奖(英语:Ig Nobel Prize),顾名思义是诺贝尔奖的戏仿,于每年10月初颁发,大约与诺贝尔奖得主名单宣布时间相近,主要表彰10种“乍看之下令人发笑,之后发人深省”成就。科学幽默杂志(英语:Annals of Improbable Research)主编暨该奖项联合赞助者马克·亚伯拉罕评论2006年奖项时说:“该奖项意欲表扬不寻常、推崇想像,并激起人们对科学、医学与科技的兴趣。”[1]所有奖项都是实际存在的成就 (除了1991年3项与1994年1项,肇因于错误的媒体报导)。
授予T·莫里森(T. Morrison)、E·托波尔(E. Topol)、R·卡利夫(R. Califf)、F·范·德·韦尔夫(F. Van de Werf)、P·W·阿姆斯壮(P. W. Armstrong)等972人[11],他们撰写了同一篇论文,这篇论文的作者长度是正文内容的100倍。这些作者来自澳大利亚、比利时、加拿大、法国、德国、爱尔兰、以色列、卢森堡、荷兰、新西兰、波兰、西班牙、瑞士、英国与美国。

授予智利的胡安·帕布罗·大卫拉(Juan Pablo Dávila),孜孜不倦的金融期贷交易者,也是国有企业Codelco(英语:Codelco)前雇员。因为他在本应“卖出”的情况下指示电脑“买入”,然后试图通过做越来越多无利可图的交易来试图挽回,最终损失了智利国民生产总值的0.5%。大卫拉的无情成就激发了他的同胞们创造了一个新的动词“davilar”,意思是“把事情搞砸”。
昆虫学奖
授予美国纽约州西港市(英语:Westport, New York)的罗伯特·A·洛佩兹(Robert A. Lopez),一位勇敢的兽医,表彰其从猫身上获取耳螨,将它们插入自己的耳朵并仔细观察和分析结果的一系列实验[18]。

授予美国威尔克斯大学(英语:Wilkes University)的卡尔·J·查内茨基(Carl J. Charnetski)与小弗朗西斯·X·布伦南(Francis X. Brennan, Jr.),以及华盛顿州西雅图Muzak Ltd.的詹姆斯·F·哈里森(James F. Harrison),表彰其发现聆听电梯音乐(英语:Muzak)会刺激免疫系统的产生,有助于预防普通感冒[40]。

授予美国纽约市齐克林商学院(英语:Zicklin School of Business)的约翰·特林考斯,表彰其一丝不苟地收集数据,并就令他恼火的事情发表了80多份详细的学术报告,例如反著戴棒球帽的年轻人比例有多少;穿着白色运动鞋的行人比例有多少;在游泳池浅水区游泳而非深水区的泳客比例有多少;汽车司机未能在某个停车指示牌前完全刹车的比例有多少;携带公文包的上班族比例有多少;超过超市快速收银通道所允许的物品数量的购物者比例有多少;讨厌甘蓝菜味道的学生比例有多少等。
医学奖
授予英国伦敦大学学院的爱莲娜·马奎尔(英语:Eleanor Maguire)、大卫·加迪亚恩(David Gadian)、英格丽·约翰斯鲁德、卡特里娜·古德(Catriona Good)、约翰·阿什伯纳(John Ashburner)、理查德·弗莱科维亚克(Richard Frackowiak)与克里斯多福·弗里斯(Christopher Frith),表彰其提出证据证明伦敦计程车司机的海马回比其他市民更为发达[83]。该篇研究发表于美国Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,报告指出,伦敦计程车司机与空间记忆相关的大脑海马回特别大。因为伦敦计程司机必须背记全市详图,而且通过严苛的道路测验。
2003年的颁奖典礼的重头戏包括爱德华·莫非三世(Edward Murphy III)代创立莫非定律的父亲领奖,以及麻省理工学院基因组研究中心主任艾瑞克·兰德尔(Eric Lander)为人类基因组宣读的七字真言:“Genome. Bought the book, hard to read”(基因组。买了书,好难读。)

授予美国加州戴维斯大学的伊万·R·舒瓦布(英语:Ivan R. Schwab)与加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校的菲利普·R·A·梅(Philip R.A. May),表彰其探索并解释为什么啄木鸟不会头痛的原因[110]。舒瓦布在论文中称,啄木鸟大部分时间都不停地用尖嘴去啄木头。如果换作是人,大脑和眼睛必将严重受损。舒瓦布研究后发现,啄木鸟进化出了一个拥有海绵状的厚头骨,它能像海绵一样保护大脑。啄木鸟还进化出了自己的“安全带”系统,在它的鸟喙啄中树干前1毫秒,它眼睛内的透明瞬膜会及时闭上,将眼球包裹得紧紧的,防止它们蹦出眼窝。
授予英国卡斯商学院的大卫·西姆斯(David Sims),表彰其让人爱不释手的研究“你这个混蛋:组织内愤怒体验的叙事探索(You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations)”[134][135]。

China building "Artificial Moon" that simulates low gravity with magnets. Futurism.com. Recurrent Ventures. [17 January 2022]. (原始内容存档于2023-06-14). Interestingly, the facility was partly inspired by previous research conducted by Russian physicist Andrew Geim in which he floated a frog with a magnet. The experiment earned Geim the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics, a satirical award given to unusual scientific research. It’s cool that a quirky experiment involving floating a frog could lead to something approaching an honest-to-God antigravity chamber.

Sec 2010: Cambia il sistema dei conti nazionali. ISTAT. 28 January 2014 [22 July 2015]. (原始内容存档于2023-06-14) (意大利语). Negli ultimi due anni, pressoché tutti gli aspetti della compilazione dei conti nazionali italiani sono stati sottoposti a verifica e a modifiche finalizzate a migliorarne sia i presupposti metodologici, sia le fonti dei dati. Ne deriva un aumento della robustezza delle misurazioni ma anche l'emergere di revisioni significative per molti aggregati economici (lo stesso livello del Pil, il valore aggiunto settoriale, l'occupazione, ecc.). Molte di queste innovazioni sono fondate sull'utilizzo di nuove fonti informative, provenienti dall'integrazione tra basi di dati amministrativi e dati di indagine (ad esempio la nuova base di informazioni per le statistiche strutturali di impresa). La disponibilità di basi informative più ricche, che permettono un utilizzo massiccio di dati individuali relativi a imprese e lavoratori, ha contribuito in maniera determinante al ridisegno delle procedure di stima di due degli elementi centrali dei conti nazionali: il modello di definizione dell'input di lavoro e i metodi di misura dell'economia non-osservata e, in particolare, della componente connessa con la sotto dichiarazione dell'attività economica da parte della imprese

Jonason from University of Western Sydney, along with two other colleagues, received an Ig Nobel for amassing evidence that people who habitually stay up late are, on average, more self-admiring, more manipulative, and more psychopathic than people who habitually arise early in the morning. The research team argued, in their study of 263 people, that Dark Triad traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy—were linked to night owl personalities.
