God bless the goddamn Onion

i'm curious how long they can pull it off but then again i never would've predicted the onion could reliably make me laugh doing what they do for nearly twenty years now

I'm still not convinced that AV Club isn't a very ambitious extension of the The Onion's satire.

i dunno who wrote the 'Friends' bit but Jesus that's one unfunny piece; i'm all for the idea but it didn't even raise a smile.

My first thought was also "how long can they possibly keep this funny?" But I guess they can always just shift the content in response to the ever-shifting nature and prevalent of clickbait.

sorry that was supposed to say "nature and prevailing style"

it seriously is the most genius website on earth since they can game the click economy in any way they feel AND not be held ethically accountable for any piece of sponsored content they do. it's a license to print money

xp the random pull quote repeating something from something 2 lines up is a nice touch

we should start a dedicated clickhole thread

6. A skeleton does a crazy dance, but then the GIF stops and asks the user to enter his or her credit card information to see more fun skeleton dancing
Doesn’t really matter what the dance is, as long as the skeleton looks funny.

post animated gifs of dancing skeletons

clickhole has its moments but i'm not getting how "hey everybody, look how ironic it is that this is what it is, do you get it, i get it" can survive past the initial first week or two

onion coasted on that for 25 years bruh
