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
I am the law!
The ninja parade is solid gold, as well.
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 they bring back the same actors. I saw Duncan Birch in Always Sunny recently and it reminded me how much I love the cast of ONN.
The stupid fucking piece of shit that doesn’t do what it god damn well should video cracks me up every time
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.
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
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.
They really salvaged a legacy in the age of enshitification, that’s already legendary.
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
The name Global Tetrahedron is, in true Onion fashion, a winking reference to a sinister fictional company featured in the book “Our Dumb Century,” which was written by The Onion’s staff and published in 1999.
I love that book. I often think about the article from 2000 about all the world’s corporations merging into OmniCorps and how close that is to becoming a reality.
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
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”
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
Yah I would hink so
Bu he onion news nework needs he leer E!
Bu h onion nws n work nds h lr !
That seems to be their article announcing the takeover, if so, that’s a pretty great way to prove they have the same sense of humour and intentions.
Also, looking forward to new episodes of onion news network. Hope they can get some of the original staff back too, the “morning show” hosts were awesome.
That fucking iWheel keyboard had me dying when it came out. “with a single button you can type anything you want.”
2024 is going to be simultaneously the best and worst year of all time
Thank god! Their recent low budget, low effort short form videos have not been good
Who is that guy?
Journalist formally of the daily beat and later NBC. NBC apparently pulled him from covering Twitter last year after he said something about about Elon on his personal social media accounts.
Hope that’s not an onion article
So we’ll get the videos back? Excellent!
I hope they bring back Michael Falk
He was my favorite. I still think about him every so often.
