Who is the ideal ClickHole reader?
J. A.: I think we see the ideal ClickHole reader as a hollow shell who exists purely to click on our content and then share that content with other hollow shells.

Has anyone else noticed that buzzfeed started posting its own hamfisted clickbait parodies?

BobWyman3 hours agoI went, I clicked a couple, I thought "Very funny". Not the site but that you tricked me. Trust has taken a hit. When trust is gone then we will probably break up. Bad enough that the Onion went from funny to opinionated just like the TV show M*A*S*H did (Die Alan Alda, die). I blame Baby-Boomers (stupid name). Acting all hip then becoming their parents. Now listen up: Children are not cute or adorable, especially yours. Your children now in their 20's or so are insipid morons. Totally clueless and smug. It is because you called your son "Sport" and made him smoke dope with you. Lame. How many episodes of "Friends" did I watch? Can "Sport" count to "zero"?How bad is it? I will tell you. I saw some "true crime" show recently. The show needed a young female author to fill the viewers in on nuances we may have missed due to bad acting. She had written a book about the Manson Family (look out Bugliosi) and stated to the viewers, "The Manson Family were at the core of the hippie movement in the 1960's. What???? What???? What????

i think what feedbuzz didnt get but what clickhole does is it's not enough to make fun of the form, which is very easy and simple and which basically anyone can do (see every bad "You Won't Believe What Happens Next!" Upworthy joke on twitter), but the content actually has to be funny to

pretty much the hole fake onion sites fall into where they don't understand humor and think the formula is fake news (wish fulfillment) plus words means funny

There was an article somewhere about how some of those sites may not actually be trying that hard to be funny, just going for clicks based on confused shares.

feedbuzz was way more variable, but that was part of the fun. it had lower lows but it aimed for the bleachers sometimes.

The plus-size models one - remove the bits about the word balloon and they are almost exactly the Dove ads from a few years ago. "What’s the matter? Do you think there’s something wrong with this picture? Well we’ve got news for you: That’s your problem, because she is a stunningly desirable woman, no matter what Hollywood says she’s supposed to look like"

i like that they go to the trouble of having a functional quiz and have different blurbs depending on how many you get right.
the friends episodes one also funny. as is the 'which lion from the lion the witch and the wardrobe are you?'
