Those videos they did 16 years ago were some of the funniest things I've ever seen.
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"
The stupid fucking piece of shit that doesn’t do what it god damn well should video cracks me up every time
That content was truly peak satire. I remember automatically downloading each episode onto my iPod Video to watch them. Good times
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.
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 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
What’s the catch.
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.
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.
They really salvaged a legacy in the age of enshitification, that's already legendary.
Hope that's not an onion article
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.
2024 is going to be simultaneously the best and worst year of all time
If they have a bunch of articles completely dragging this new CEO I will pay for a subscription.
The first half of the 20th century has entered the chat.
I hope they bring back Michael Falk
He was my favorite. I still think about him every so often.
So we'll get the videos back? Excellent!
Sony's Stupid Box Thing was epic.
I'm here for it if it's as described.
Bring back Lake Dredge Appraisal!

Clickhole started out good but was the beginning of the end of the Onion being one of the essential sites on the web. It was evidence that they were chasing the trends instead of creating them.
The movie was about 4 years previous. That was awful, but Clickhole was the beggining.
