Giải Ig Nobel là bản sao của giải Nobel nổi tiếng. Giải thưởng này được trao tặng cho những thành tựu và các phát minh mà trước tiên là làm cho mọi người cười, sau đó khiến họ phải suy nghĩ. Mục đích của nó là để kỷ niệm những thành tựu đặc biệt và sáng tạo, chủ yếu là về khoa học, y học và công nghệ. Trái ngược với quan niệm thông thường rằng giải thưởng được trao cho những thành phẩm không quan trọng, người giành được giải thưởng phải có những nghiên cứu quan trọng. Hàng năm, lễ kỷ niệm được tổ chức tại trường đại học Havard, và 10 giải thưởng được làm từ lá thiếc sẽ được trao cho những thắng cuộc. Những người đó phải tự trả tiền cho việc di chuyển và chỗ ở tại Cambridge.
