You Asked For It And You Got It! Hulu Is Bringing Back Circuit City

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?

that is pretty much the best response, people responding as if they think it's a legit list

I'll ask my auntie if she was doing that

the secret is to pretend you believe it's real at all times

otm

OTOH Drake's real name actually is Dracula

for some reason the Snoop Dogg reveal kills me every time

this happened recently and tons of media outlets (including Buzzfeed) believed that most people really did think Steven Spielberg killed a dinosaur:

this is another one that seems more appropriate for regular onion. in fact, it is kind of the quintessential onion piece.

How many more stories like Michael Brown’s or Trayvon Martin’s must we hear before racism just kind of fizzles out without me having to do anything about it?

it's funny because it's horribly painful

clickholes been really on point lately

With all of the Clickhole articles that read more and more like actual Onion features, I get this unfounded fear that the satire stuff is all going to migrate over there and the Onion proper is just going to be fully turned over to the A/V Club nerds.

*shudder*

But then we can burn it to the ground without regret
