Those videos they did 16 years ago were some of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
“America’s gays too precious to risk in combat” is legendary
Thanks for giving me a goal today. I must watch this lol
This is easily my favorite video ever, made by the Onion.
Brain-Dead Teen, Only Capable Of Rolling Eyes And Texting, To Be Euthanized

Her “uuuugh sigh” is so good
My personal fav was “Congressman makes preemptive apology for extramarital affair”
I loved the autistic reporter series
The marijuana one was my favorite since it randomly played one of about a dozen videos when you played the video.
So if you played it twice, it was a different video. If you shared it with a friend, a different video.
The general story told in each video was the same, some only having minor changes and others being completely unhinged.
I hope this goes as well as it’s being marketed to be, but I’ve long since stopped trusting people who have enough money to make a news-worthy purchase. Time will tell on this one for me.
this was my first tought. the discourse is also the same every time: oh we wont change anything about it! proceeds to change everything about it for the worse
The onion should be a worker’s collective given that the best satire comes from groups without ulterior motives and outside influences. No reason it should be possible for any company to lay off a majority of its workforce without fully going under and becoming a failed business.
Whether this is satire, or the “give us $1 or else” article is, or they’re both dead serious… this is peak Onion.
In an age where reality is such bullshit that real life articles sound more like The Onion than The Onion, it is exactly what we need. I embrace our new deeply layered pungent overlords.
I’m not sure If this is more satire by the onion or not
Here’s the NYT article https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/25/business/media/the-onion-sold.html
What’s the catch.
I am $1 poorer
Is that for real or has the takeover made that unnecessary? Can’t tell anymore is they’re serious
Already, our trained technicians are navigating through the website and deleting every instance of the letter “T.” Soon, they will move onto the letter “E.”
Haha, guess I could have read it a bit closer
Anymore? The onion is, and always has been, dead serious.
Even the jokes.
Especially the jokes.
“Me? A subversive political agent? No I am just a simple tailor as you can see, look around my shop and all you will find are handmade jokes created by the best craftsman in the Alpha Quadrant”
I hope they bring back Michael Falk
