It used to be really funny like 15 years ago now they are afraid of offending their corporate sponsors so it's not funny anymore. Just a little truth bomb for ya on this tuesday

My favorite onion article was a decade ago, it was an op ed by Jimmy Carter where he was yelling about telling people to wear sweaters.

Onion sports on twitter is still very funny, and clickhole is pretty good too. The onion always has very funny headlines just don't read the articles.

I remember in college they had a little newspaper thing where you could pick up free copies of the onion, that was neat.

Good soup!

the onion proper sucks. clickhole is where it's at

unfortunately starwipe ended, but not before it exploded in a blaze of glory

i dont look at the onion regularly but i still see funny headlines from them somewhat regularly on facebook and whatnot. AV club is bad though.

(and all their other newer satire offshoots like clickhole/starwipe probably diluted the brand as there is often overlap)

oh poster above said starwipe is no more so i guess im a pretty out of touch with the onion brands

Yeah, basically this. The Onion was never really laugh out loud funny and it's always been rare that reading the article provided any additional humor to the headline itself.

Agreed that Clickhole can be too zomg random at times but I still love it for making GBS threads all over today's clickbait-filled internet and the dumb poo poo people share.

av club used to be good but it sucks now. they dropped a ton of tv show reviews in recent months and it's shifted from interesting pop culture analysis to just another website for pop culture thinkpieces
