I don't know if the website has the TV Highlights section, but it's always loving hilarious. I'll transcribe from the most recent print edition:

quote:

AMC Roast of Matthew Weiner
(AMC) 9 p.m. EDT/ 8 p.m. CDT

The Mad Men creator is a sport for five minutes, but will be damned if he's going to sit there while the kid who plays Bobby Draper zings him.


Don't Trust the B----- In Apartment 23
(ABC) 9:30 p.m. EDT/8:30 p.m. CDT

Idealistic and trusting June has half her face torn off after ignoring her neighbors' advice and trying to make friends with the rabid, blood-mad baboon confined in apartment 23.

I came to post this. The Onion's been doing a couple videos of late that are less news-based and more parody of TV and Youtube stuff. Sex House is a favorite of mine already, but it'd be wrong not to appreciate Lake Dredge Appraisal, where part of the video making process I think included recording the video on a fifteen year old VHS that used to have a TV-recorded edit of Star Wars on it.

The Onion can get as dark as they want, but I personally can't imagine anything much more depressing or inane then debuting a tepid pop song on a barren, lifeless planet.

I was going to post this one.

“Folks, I don’t want to be a pain here, but in mere hours we’re going to have hundreds—if not thousands—of screaming Hansel and Gretel fans lined up outside trying to see this film, and if we don’t have a body at every door then these people will, I poo poo you not, burst into the projection room and steal the movie itself right off the projector.”

This seems like the sort of story that we wouldn't normally get from The Onion. There's no humor here, it's just a full page of bitching. It might as well be about waiting in line at the post office.

They put all the dumb Onion writers on the Starwipe team, and the smartest go on the Clickhole team, and the people that are left over are depressed and stay at The Onion to write the articles about school shootings and such.
