The one about the memorial built in advance for a damn disaster that they all saw coming but did nothing about, except for the memorial of the future victims.
This disaster will have been preventable. All of the warning signs are here now. Yet, no one will have fucking done anything about it.
The MacBook Wheel. Imagine how disastrous this product would be if it actually happened.
Not to mention that was the first time I discovered the Onion.
Honestly same I didn't know who was the onion
Trump Voter Feels Betrayed By President After Reading 800 Pages Of Queer Theory. Important commentary and funny at the same time.

"Sony Releases Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work"
@HotWheelsVroom Lmao, I also like that one very much
"It's functions include... ...being all ass backwards fuck". Magical
But I'll still add another great one - Political Talk Show Host Suddenly Very Interested In Manslaughter Law Loopholes (https://youtu.be/xOVQPtuKRs4)
The system specs tho LMFAO π€£π€£π€£
System Specifications:

- Fucks up everything else you hook it up to
- 'Scans for receivers', whatever the fuck that means
- Flashes random fucking words and numbers on the display screen

The "post office box" sketch:
I love this one. I sometimes fit βpost office boxβ into sentences just to say it the way Duncan does.
Side note, I saw Duncanβs actor in an episode of Always Sunny a few years ago and it was lovely seeing him. Heβs probably my favorite from ONN. The segment about Nigeria where he accidentally reads about Niger is a phenomenal use of visual comedy
Sony Releases Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work. Replace by Sony by Apple and it still fits perfectly.
The MacBook wheel comes closest
Everything is just a few hundred clicks away.
We will be watching to see if it catches on in the business world where people have to accomplish things rather than just dicking around.
The wheel. Reinvented.
God, I fucking love you, Onion...
"I'll buy anything that's shiny and comes from Apple" π
I love the entire "Autistic Reporter" Series for some reason lol
How do I go to prison??
I like the Taliban guy telling the 911 conspiracy guy that 911 was real.
These comments are proof that The Onion peaked like 15 years ago. They just haven't been as funny since then.
Weirdly, this comment is a little hasty but only because of recent developments. ONN presumably didnβt make enough money so it was canceled, thus they couldnβt keep doing sketches like that. Now that The Onion has bought itself from its corporate owners, ONN is said to be returning. If the new ONN sucks this comment will be accurate though.
i dont think its the onions fault, parody just got more difficult when real life is already ridiculous

And a 'from-16-years-back' broadside at the US approaching November:
honorable mention to New Marijuana Study Confirms Everyone Knows You're High And You Will Be Stoned Forever
because when this was originally uploaded on their website it would play a slightly different version every time you opened the page. So you'd laugh and show your friends, so then even if your (allegedly) stoner ass hadn't gotten tripped out the first time, while they're watching it and laughing you'd start sweating.
Second honorable mention to "Is The Government Spying on Schizophrenics Enough?" But I'm honestly still not sure that one's totally okay, even if I still laugh every single time I watch it. I'm not that type of mentally ill but have had people close to me who struggle enough with it and the very nature of the disorder is such that even though I laugh I've always at the same time felt it treads very much on the line.
