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.

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

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 dancingDoesn’t really matter what the dance is, as long as the skeleton looks funny.

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

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.

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.
