These comments are proof that The Onion peaked like 15 years ago. They just haven't been as funny since then.

i dont think its the onions fault, parody just got more difficult when real life is already ridiculous

Weirdly, this comment is a little hasty but only because of recent developments. ONN presumably didn’t make enough money so it was canceled, thus they couldn’t keep doing sketches like that. Now that The Onion has bought itself from its corporate owners, ONN is said to be returning. If the new ONN sucks this comment will be accurate though.
