10. Not sure how we’d do this or what would be in it, but the idea is that the first time you view the GIF, it’s not funny at all and is very confusing. None of the pieces seem to fit together. You can’t discern the whole image. But the second time you view it, it becomes very funny. Your laughter is sudden, irrepressible and hard to explain. You feel liberated and even cruel. The third time, however—and for reasons just as obscure to you—the GIF makes you terribly sad. During the third iteration, you desperately want to cry, but you feel that doing so would ruin something fleeting.

Again, we don’t know what’s in this GIF, but it’d repeat every 4 or 5 seconds. Blue background.

total karl malone vibes

12. Stephen Hawking dunking a basketball from the free throw line, then pumping his fist

NOTE: Should be clear in the GIF that we’re NOT making fun of Stephen Hawking. If anything, we are on his side, laughing with him.

Lol'd at Lance Armstrong with the N64, also respect for importing the JDM version of Mario Kart 64 instead of waiting for the American release, cause otherwise they would have had to say 1997 ;)

The crawl/ticker on that is pretty funny: "Hollywood community shocked, saddened that Charlie Sheen was found alive in his home."

That was in one of those not-quite-The-Onions right after Phillip Seymour Hoffman died.

xp I've never been called anything worse than a big black fuck ox.

Johnny Fever, Sunday, 10 August 2014 16:20 (nine years ago) link

that line kills me every time. i love it when they pull off something genuinely hilarious but couple it with genuine insight and commentary. doesn't always happen, but when they're on, man are they on!

global tetrahedron, Sunday, 10 August 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link

I take it this is how the onion announces they're getting into the sponsored content game or has it been going on for a while?

If you believed some websites still had the integrity not to shill for sponsors, you’re as dumb as we thought http://onion.com/1uiMUi2 #SPON
