plenty of potential for overlap I know but this seems more like an Onion thing

I like to think they decide based on how incognito the headline looks once posted on facebook.

DL posts another perfect example. It's like trying to write a parody Weezer song that can be distinguished from a real Weezer song they wrote with a straight face.

Poe's Law

there are definitely articles on clickhole that seem like they should just be on the onion, especially a lot of the op eds the onion's been doing for years, they usually don't seem to fit into the clickbait mold

lol

The movie’s directors agreed, and after two weeks of frantic rewrites, Garland’s off script moment had resulted in an entire fictional realm called Oz as the new setting for the all-time classic flick, which was renamed from After The Tornado to The Wizard Of Oz.

ha - I saw this in my FB feed this morning and thought it was a real Jezebel article

I really think this one is perfect because it angrily captures the mindlessness of clickbait garbage:

The writer was probably at that same breaking point I'm at. I use the chat feature with a few people on facebook but it's tough to ignore the "feed" in the process and the content enrages me.

I completely lost my shit at that one. It's so stupid but so perfect.

For real.

best yet

man, i'd seen the word clickhole floating around but just thought it was another upstart clickbait site.

that Harrison Ford supercut made me tear up a little...

Did anybody get through all the Youtube links on the Youtube url one yet? I made it about halfway through before realizing that they weren't all lols

i didn't bother checking them, assuming they were the subject viral videos reshuffled. no?

Think they literally may have been collected from a random Youtube url generator

well shit, now i wanna go look at them all

This one just got me. Star Wars I was like, "huh, I don't remember reading that anywhere." Terminator I thought to remind myself to go check the wikipedia article later. Citizen Kane and Wizard of Oz seemed pretty plausible up until the renaming thing. I feel like a rube.

2. If you challenge a cop to a race, he legally has to race you. If you beat him, you are the cop.

That's a four year old joke

good to see that "literally unbelievable" is bringing clickhole in to the mix

I did not want to say it, but yeah.

You’ll have to use Google to find them all, but even a quick search for “Ben Affleck” turned up hundreds, if not thousands, of images of Affleck dressed EXACTLY like a muscular, dapper millionaire. We are officially geeking out.

people on FB taking clickhole articles seriously is even better than people on FB taking Onion articles seriously

do we think clickhole links are more or less 'believable' than onion stories?

The thing they're parodying is less trustworthy to begin with, so there's not as much of a stretch to make?

that's true. also people have had like 15 years to figure out what The Onion is.

People don't actually read enough of the article to get that it's a joke. I posted the one about craft beers and everyone who responded was all like "Can't wait to try them!" "Not all at once though!", "want to get together this week to try a couple of these" etc. It was pretty disappointing. Now everyone thinks I give a shit about craft beers.

ahaha yeah that happened to me with the Game of Thrones baby names http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-colbert.gif

what if people are pretending to respond as if they think the piece is sincere in the name of meta-satire?
