Does the ignoble exist for anything else besides making fun of easy targets, like a bunch of sniveling teenagers?

[defrost]

Yes.

   Its aim is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think".

Never have I considered the ignoble to be making fun of anyone. It is recognizing real, if bizarre, research. Science asking some real questions that make you appreciate the wonder of the universe.

Interesting. Somehow I never see people referencing them in this spirit, but that may be more on those people than on the price itself, perhaps.
