Bait My Clickhole

Good point

okay I lolled

Way to lead us on. At least I posted alternate photos of the backpack girl.

yikes

lol Ultimate-Guitar.com tab reference was A+

I'm a little annoyed the photo doesn't actually depict a crate BX-50, which would have been visually funnier as well as accurate

Didn't see this when it came out; unbelievably cursed

But the doll glimpsed in the photo is clearly inflatable, so why did it come in such a big box?

I've tried convincing myself that the ?fbclid=IwAR0p8Fy7K5p0JjVbPlUBn9UBKckRCmy06mhaTzGnTGWQOQSC__aF_HXq1nA's are part of the Clickhole joke.

definitely seems like a subtle sign of decline in quality. Reading the headlines in url form used to be part of the fun

sorry if that was a joke itself, but just in case: FB adds those to outbound links, Clickhole has no control over it

Now I'm wondering if rob is part of the joke.

I didn't laugh, but I agreed the fuck out of it

Most of the older links upthread seem to be broken. Probably can find the articles searching but I liked having this thread as an archive.

Recent posts are looking a little grim for the site’s future.

oh wow

It hasn’t been funny in a long time

the kinds of sites it's satirizing have largely gone bankrupt. sad!

well this one made me laugh a lot

https://clickhole.com/beautiful-hall-and-oates-have-reconciled-after-thinking-up-a-song-called-ace-and-a-half-where-a-sexy-lady-plays-cards/

it's been consistently funny despite its targets vanishing imo

Questions of ongoing relevance or humo aside, just in case anyone isn't taking a peek at their homepage, i think JoeStork was initially referring to these being the top 4 headlines at the time:

The Tragedy Of The American Economy: It Is Now Almost Impossible To Support A Family Of Five On An Online Satirist’s Salary
