The Onion

Post by _Bond James Bond »

I've been a big reader of the Onion for years and think it's hilarious, but the Onion videos on youtube are pure genius. This one is the best:

I love The Onion. This week's printed edition is hilarious. It's "from the archives" and is set up like an old colonial rag. There's an article about the benefits of chewing tobacco, an editorial about citizenship, and tons of funny advertisements. Grab a copy if you can find one.

That was hilarious.

The captions they had were great. I laughed at this caption most:

"Scouts say blondes at highest risk, may need multiple checkups"
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

You're right, B23, that video was HILARIOUS.

But rather than having captions saying things like "Scouts hope to examine Jessica Alba to bring greater awareness," they should've had the scouts themselves say it.

Anyway, did anyone read the comments section? The comments from people who thought it was real were almost as funny as the video itself!
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Classic! The Onion posits a world in which HBO hosts a presidential debate. OMG this is funny!

No thanks. I recommend you see a doctor for that.

Exactly why do you think this is one of the "best"?

Why is it "pure genius"?
