搞笑诺贝尔奖(Ig Nobel Prizes)由美国人马克?亚伯拉罕斯创办,此人创办了一份名为《Annals of Improbable Research》的科学幽默杂志,从1991年开始,每年颁奖一次。入选“搞笑”版诺贝尔奖的科学成果必须不同寻常,能激发人们对科学、医学和技术的兴趣。与其他学术奖不同,另类诺贝尔奖得主不会拿到任何奖金,得不到各方赞誉,更不可能使科学出现革命性进步,但是所有获奖的研究都曾在著名学术杂志上发表。
搞笑诺贝尔奖每年一次;其奖项既包括生物、医学、物理、和平、经济、文学等固定奖项,也包括公共卫生、考古、营养学等随机奖项。“搞笑诺贝尔奖”的获奖者是由《Annals of Improbable Research》的编辑们、科学家们(其中还包括几位诺贝尔奖获得者)、记者们和来自多个国家的各个领域的精英们组成的管理委员会选出的。
