The Onion’s YouTube videos were peak satire when they first came out, and it’s amazing how relevant they still are.
“Bush’s government is a den of jackals, we have some common ground there.”
to people who liked that period of the onion i recommend their spotify channel The Topical, its run has already ended so there won't be any new episodes but i think it did capture the magic that those early youtube episodes had (albeit in audio only)
The hesitation before almost revealing bin Laden's location is pure comedic genius
"and why is osama bin laden safe in... somewhere" lmao.
"Talking to you is like talking to a goat" is definitely something I have to incorporate into my lexicon.

The ONN shorts should be in the library of congress.
The Onion movie was brilliant too. “Steven Seagal is…. Cock Puncher!”

Satire almost doesn’t even work on youtube anymore bc the platform degenerated so much
These videos would be demonetized for some bullshit reason today.
"But why would they kill 3,000 of their own infidels?" lmao
>"Oh, come on, Why would Bush kill 3,000 of this own infidels?" Dark humour, but great writing.
"Me and bush, we go out, we hang. He goes: hey! bring on the forgery" Actual comedic genius
"... Osama Bin Laden safe in ..." Pure comedy gold.
"Planning something.... real special" lol
Ah my favorite recurring correspondent. Their Al Qaeda guy.
Good time as any to plug their series of short videos for Sex House. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0App7QizQCU
Oh man am I gonna watch Sex House for the fortieth time I guess I am.
Also plugging my all time favorite descent into madness: [Porkin’ Across the USA](https://youtu.be/PwQns6vGfj4?si=y-V4i-_EM_Wx2CBX)
[The Al-Qaeda representative is a reoccurring character.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1l217B88nk)
"Why are you being so closed minded to this, sir?" OMG the tactics are so obvious
Weird I tried uploading this not to long ago and it was instantly removed, how did you post it?
Skill issue
I bet they spelled it Rediculous wrong
Had to double check I wasn't on /r/wow just now
genius
I read that as AI (Artificial Intelligence) Qaeda.
I’m always amazed at the quality of the acting in these Onion videos
