The IOCCC is such a great joke because it is the ultimate satire on software engineering: it glorifies the complicated, the special- purpose, the incomprehensible.
An IOCCC winner is like a Heath Robinson mechanism in the way it employs a wonderful intricacy to perform a trivial task.
There is irony too, though, because without using abstractions an IOCCC entry cannot accomplish enough to win; and without elegance of composition a Heath Robinson painting cannot illustrate the workings of its ridiculous machine.

 Schweikhardt's Original IOCCC Entries
IOCCC entries are rarely written at 1 KLOC/day, rather at 1 line of code per hour, if I include everything, like overhauls, debugging and testing on various implementations.
Here are my three winning entries of the 1996 IOCCC along with their original and complete remarks.
At first I was disappointed the 1997 IOCCC was cancelled due to Usenix lag but in hindsight it looks like the extra year was ideal for my entries to mature even more.

This program is a self-reproducing program, which is on the IOCCC's list of discouraged program types.
Start over; this program, when compiled with a C99 compiler, is an interpreter for an extremely limited and highly broken subset of Common Lisp.

 Whitch's Broom Workshop
Miami Airport Marriott Miami, FL The IOCCC Chairman welcomed members and thanked everyone for having agreed to participate in this Workshop.
Witches' Broom disease was considered as the major issue because of the absence of a scientific control method, because of its destructive effect on the cocoa production in Bahia and because of the fear that it might spread to other cocoa-producing countries.
IOCCC had therefore taken the initiative of organizing a Workshop on Witches' Broom with the aim of assembling the main scientific experts alongside industry representatives, to develop a proposed strategy for the control of Witches' Broom.

The popularity of the annual "International Obfuscated C Contest" (IOCCC) is the best evidence; some of the programs from years past obviously required herculean efforts by the entrants.
I was lucky enough to attend the unveiling of the winners at USENIX one year, and I sat transfixed, mouth unswayingly agape, as the ever more unbelievable winners were trotted across the stage.
Someone had hacked the code to remove all the whitespace, introduced a small bug in the output, and posted it to Usenet sometime last year.
