SILENT MAJORITY
When Univision bought The Onion, they appeared to have gotten rid of all the talent. The jokes are much more hit or miss these days. I still have a couple of the books laying around somewhere and the weeklong takeover by Yu Wan Mei was the funniest running joke in satirical news ever imo.

However, we can all look back at the good times:

Residents Of Indiana Join Together To Form Collective Consciousness

quote:

"There are no more mothers or fathers or brothers or sisters," said the single consciousness, an identical smile on the face of each of its human components. "Indiana is mother and father and brother and sister. There is only Indiana."

"Only Indiana," the hive mind added precisely 100 times before again falling silent.


Also, Future News was pretty funny:

A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense

E- maybe that didn’t even stop idk

Karate Dave is Coming to Kill Me remains one of the funniest things I've read in the last few years
hats off also to the running joke of pretending not to understand firetrucks


also, since nobody else has done it, here are the obligatory links to Our Long National Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity is Over and gently caress Everything, We're Doing Five Blades, two articles which aren't even that funny but they predicted the future and that's hosed up

I loved reading that poo poo so loving much in my formative years, I think it subconsciously affected the way I act.

I still quote "gently caress everything, We're doing Five blades" to this day.

The amount of poo poo that was supposed to be ironic back then and now it's the way things are is hosed up.

You seriously have issues.

Go catch more racoons in a net and step away from the computer.
The Deborah roller coaster article still gets a laugh out of me after all these years.

Originally was broadcast without the stupid headline ruining the joke. I guess they got too many complaints because they also took this one off youtube :shrug:
