A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:
Is this one of those, as a kid Bart seems cool, but now as an adult facing the reality it doesn't seem so cool?
Most comedies have someone funny to watch, but not if they actually existed and affected your life. Don't get me wrong, I love Bender, but RL Bender as a friend would be full no contact from me.
I love peter griffin but I would probably kill him in real life :O
opposite honestly
I almost ate the onion on this one. It's far too plausible!
Almost all the Trump ones are - it's more difficult than it should be to push satire beyond things that Trump and his lackeys have actually done.
I can't remember the last Trump ad that featured Trump looking into the camera and making a true statement.
I haven't seen ads for anyone at all. What are you watching that has political ads? Late night comedy shows?
Youtube, and basically every streaming service we don't pay for that shows ads. But I'm in a swing states, so that's probably why. I can't wait until the election is over and I can stop getting nonstop political ads.
Interesting. I don't watch YouTube or anything that streams with ads. Screw that.
what's wrong with late night comedy shows?
Nothing at all. They're just more apt to show an ad to make fun of them.
ah true
I can’t remember him ever making a true statement to begin with.
I'm glad you pointed it out, I didn't realize and thought this was real. There's not much Trump can do to surprise me at this point
"We got a lot of bad genes in our country right now," said Trump
It's true. Some of the womens' ones don't even have pockets. It's criminal.
My brother and I have a younger sister. When she was a teen, we were blown away by the fact that girls’/women’s clothes don’t have pockets. Or worse, that there’s even FAKE pockets. Meanwhile, I was wearing cargo pants throughout high school.
Women carry more stuff than us men. Clearly they do NEED pockets. And yet they don’t get them. I’ve never even seen a fake pocket on men’s jeans.
Right now, I’m wearing pants with pockets so wide, I can fit a Nintendo Switch or a smaller tablet in them. I could fit TWO large phones AND my wallet in one of them.
Women are definitely missing out on having proper pockets.
normalize just buying men's pants, yeah it won't show off your butt but such is the cost of pockets.
clips of Trump’s inflammatory remarks about Jewish people, Black people, and immigrants, including those in which the GOP candidate says “we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now” and suggests new arrivals to the country were poisoning American blood.
show Trump expounding on conspiracy theories that the Biden administration was “going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas” affected by Hurricane Helene,
The onion is just putting facts in the middle of my satire.😤
Good satire is built on facts.
They cant parody you if you are a parody of yourself.
Tucker said as much at one of his events, in regards to hating trans people. He talked about how it was easier to just agree if people accuse him of it and double down.
tl;dr: Trump continues to campaign for Kamala Harris.
This aged... Interesting. Given last night at MSG
