  • i watch these twice, once for the main story, and second for the news articles on the bottom

  • Burn

  • di nga? totoo bang magrerelease ang Time magazing ng version for adults? That would be nice. magazine for all ages.

  • Do you have to read highlights and regular time each month to understand the respective issue of advanced?

  • 1:10 - 1:16 Aww, Maria Bamford is SOO CUTE when she's being lead around by gigantic adults.

    Maria, be a good little girl and sing us The Pterodactyl Song, pweeese?

  • This isn't satire. It's 100% true.

  • Someone is gonna have to explain this video to me.

  • @DaveElectric Google the onion and be familiar with Time Magazine. Other than that I don't have time.

  • @Mehtaphorical If you don't have the time then STFU.

  • @DaveElectric

    The New York Time magazine is supposed to be one of the most prestigeous forms of journalism in America. That isn't saying much, though. Journalism has always been a joke. Not really for academics, with their target audience as ignorant people.

  • I've totally been waiting for this new adult version of TIME for sooooo long!

  • Comment removed

  • search gandi bandi

  • Awsome video

  • Time Advanced looks an awful lot like The Economist.

  • read/skim/toss  lmao.

  • They already have a Time Advanced, it is called Scholastic Reader.

  • @VictorLepanto You mean Time Advanced is called Highlights. Goofus And Gallant concisely deliver both sides of each news story like no other. Beavis starts off each business day with Highlights.

  • rofl michelle bachman to star in congress spin-off. this is true.

  • Ever since watching this video I've unsubscribed to TIME. The latest one with the Tucson Shooter on the front page just killed it for me.

  • I really wish they would make a Time Advanced magazine. I would subscribe to it.

  • Subtle satire... eh... I'll get the hang of it yet.

  • I used to love reading time as a kid.... O.o

  • Their first centerfold will be of beck and o'slimy taking turns on each other.

  • @DAGUY sounds hot as hell imo

  • ooo cure for morning hangovers is drinking more, i never liked a cure better! ;D

  • EAT A DICK TIME MAGASENE

  • @yoboss1049 ...zeryusslie?

  • @yoboss1049 magazine

  • I did a spit take when they said "lovable children's character Joe Klein"

  • TIME's editors are giant enormous fucking PUSSIES for not naming Assange POTY over Zuckerburg.

  • @ScizRgaming

    Person of the year is not for greatest person, it's about the single person who had the largest impact on the world. E.g. Hitler and Stalin were both a TIME person of the year.

  • @lep0tan so you're saying that Assange's work did not have such impact? Besides, i know that's just a poll, but choosing a clever and ruthless businnessman over the guy who really stirred up the world we know says something about the editors.

  • @ScizRgaming 300000 people voted for Assange, and just 18000 voted for zuckerburg. I voted for Assange, and feel that anyone opposed to him and the truth he makes available are among those "fucked up" persons to whom you refer.

  • As time person of the year 2006, I find this video highly insulting.

  • @peperonyandchease  Clever, very clever.

  • @peperonyandchease  How do you feel about Digiorno?

  • This is very true. Especially today.

  • I think this is why i cancel my subscription over 7 years ago.

  • I wish this news was real. That sounds interesting.

  • LOL!... Time Magazine actually have more pictures than text... LOL!

  • cock.

  • I always thought this video was just a really humorous exaggeration. Then I read Time magazine.

  • I like time magazine as a game

  • If Kids actually did indeed read Time Magazine, we would not need to worry about the American stupidity crisis. This is probably the only case I wish that Onion News Network reports were true.

  • @theworddoner

    Either you are assuming that early-starting necessarily leads to greater later development (which is not indicated by tests) or you are under the mistaken impression that this magazine is a valuable source of information.

  • Time is now irrelevant, CNN is next

  • I used to love TIME as a kid. My dad brought a copy home every week after work. I especially loved their diagrams depicting plane crashes or military deployments. When I grew up, I switched to The Economist.

  • I think what this video is trying to say is that JOURNALISM IS DEAD.

  • has anything ever been more true than this video?

  • Whoa whoa whoa, say what you want about the rest of Time, but their 2009 Time 100 was spot on.

  • time magazine makes me feel fuzzy inside 

  • Nice to see I'm not the only one that thinks TIME has no meaningful content..

  • HHahahahaha, I read TIME and never really thought of it this way.... the satirical comedy is not far from the truth though....

    as a designer, i prefer spaces, minimal information, colorful charts and graphs

  • Time deserves this, those top 100 lists have been especially retarded lately.

  • i was expecting naked women..but this is funny :D

  • Comment removed

  • The Onion needs to do an expose on YouTubers that ask others to give them a thumbs up. Thumbs up if you agree!

    Wait...

  • that little girl talking about lady gaga is so cute hahaha

  • @xbl2010 pedo

  • @CenkIsAdorable Hey now, you can't prove that :3

  • @CenkIsAdorable

    What, anyone saying a kid is cute is a pedo? What's wrong with you?

    The fact is, many people found kids cute. So most people are pedos?

  • @RolandWHK depends on the number of u's in cute

  • @RolandWHK Well, in a study of soldiers in some random country, they found that 20% of the soldiers where pedos, and they assume it can be as much as 30-50%.

    Just sayin. Kids are sooooo cute! :D

  • @GnosticAtheist I would like to see this. Does 12-16 count as pedo on the study?

  • @scythian 0528I have only read a mention of the study in a scandinavian psychologist journal, so I am pretty sure it exists, but I am not familiar with the details. However, it was a psychological study of pedophilia, thus the age group defined would naturally be prepubertal, thus 13-14 down.

  • the sad part about the Onion, is that it just as honest as other news networks...

    thumbs up if you agree

  • @SethKevlar

    I'd even go as far as to say that they are MORE honest than most, lol.

  • @SethKevlar how is that sad

  • THE PEOPLE AT CNBC ARE GOING TO GO TO JAIL SOON. THIS IS NOT A HOAX I AM NOT A CRAZY PERSON THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS AND NOW I AM RESORTING TO THE PUBLIC. THEY ARE ILLEGALLY MONITORING MY PERSONAL LIFE AND EMAILS. TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW I WILL POST THIS TO AS MANY CLIPS AS POSSIBLE. READ MY PROFILE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

  • @111WLee Haha if that was true that would be awesome.

  • @111WLee

    lol

  • I hate Joe Klein.

  • the onion speaks truth once more. if only time would listen

  • Man they really ripped Time a new one :D

  • Does this herald the possibility that Gen Z will be smart ?

  • When is this coming out?

  • People make fun of TIME for how stupid it is.. but they are doing this cause of how dumb the general public is.

  • At least its better than Newsweek.

  • I thought the onion was supposed to be satire.

  • I don't always laugh out loud at onion newscasts, but you win this time.

  • haha that drinking more is a cure for morning hangovers is actually true.

  • And the New York Post is still for retards

  • btw Video's hilarious

  • unfortunately, this video is 99% true...

  • It'll compete with The Economist for the condescending pseudo-intellectual demographic.

  • @cinndave that's me!

  • Thumbs up if you agree that someone will think this is real and rant about it.

  • Oh I get it! Time is so simple it 's like it's for kids HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @adr58

    :/

  • Haha, soooooo good.

  • I'm certain that NOBODY here thought of Time with this much hate before this video. The only reason most of you are purporting to hate Time now is so you don't appear ignorant.

    Truth is that Time isn't meant to provide any sort of meaningful political insight. It's supposed to gloss over some things that are happening in todays world in the amount of time it takes you to wait in your dentist office.

    It's what sells. Get over it.

  • @moo93986 Richard Stengel, is that you?

  • Well said. I personally don't read TIME and I do understand The Onion's point with TIME being less "sophisticated" (for lack of a less elitist word) than other journalistic and editorial competitors, but the magazine is likely still leagues above the typical reading curriculum of the average YouTube user, or even the average viewer of The Onion (not hating on either; my point is that most people simply don't read so-called "wall of text"-style content anymore).

  • i thot time waz4 adolts

  • Hmm...

    Could anyone please tell me whether the Time is really considered as a magazine that dumbs down its content for everyone to be able to read it? I'm Russian and I read it regularly but I wouldn't say its articles are quite easy to read, especially when it comes to finances or something like that. But it's been flouted at, so I suppose a lot of readers despise the Time as something that is totally childish?

  • @Stripdancer100 Surely TIME is not a mind-boggling read but I think the video was created for the sole purpose to have fun and start thinking.. As exaggerated as it is, it gives you an interesting new angle to look at the media world. And it is funny, isn't it?

  • @MrIgor112233 It's extremely funny, I appreciate good sense of humor too, this video just made me wonder if I read the magazine that dumbs down its content. You know, if you are not a native speaker, it's tricky to determine if a magazine is a mind-boggling read or not (as for me, Time is a sophisticated one even though I read it for more than three years).

    Anyway, thank you for your reply :-)

  • TIME magazine is meant to have a general audience. Therefore it's written so that it can be enjoyed by anybody, and not require any prior knowledge.

    It needs to be easy to read, interesting, and quick-paced.

    Specialty magazines, such as Scientific American, can afford to be more in-depth and at a higher-reading level.

    TIME isn't bad in anyway, it just means that it has a lower reading level. For you, it's perfect.

    Newspapers are written at a grade-school level, nothing wrong with it.

  • @8KingFisher Thank you!

  • @Stripdancer100 always glad to help

  • is our system working? what needs to be done? how will we do it?

  • lol

  • TIME is for the people that think The Onion is real xD

  • @WALMARTLOVER92 good point WALMARTLOVER92

  • Awwww. Are 62 Time employees upset that someone made fun of their magazine? There, there. Have some milk and cookies. It will make you feel all better.

  • i started reading time when i was 8, and then i grew out of it at 4.

  • I used to read Time Magazine when I was around 5 ad stopped at 8. I was always drawn to their bright pictures and simple stories.

  • this is one of the sickest burns i've seen in a while

  • Drinking more IS a way of curing hangovers - drink a sip of what you drank last the evening before and you'll feel better within 15 minutes.

  • i did like time mag as a kid lol

  • @jeremyowens81

    Me too. Everything was so well presented and easy to digest. All the nice graphics and charts!

  • @jeremyowens81 me too! great doctor's office skimming with bright shiny pictures. Now though I see the lack of substance.

  • @VoidOnTuesday i see 51 ppl have liked my comment so far, so i guess im not the only one

  • @jeremyowens81 Me too! It was always in the doctors office so I remember picking it up and reading it. I must have been 10 years old. And I understood everything!

  • Hahahaha I love TIME and this is so true!

  • This video is too smart and overly satrical for most people to find it funny.

  • The 62 people who disliked this are time Magazine subscribers lol.

  • @mithago trollface.jpg

  • I love how the new structure looks  like the economist.

  • What I'd give to see the face of a TIme magazine editor right about now... The Onion fucking dominates!!!

  • I'm getting one. LOL!

  • For me, the funny part is that I actually did read Time as a kid along with Mad Magazine. I was ADHD and those were the only magazines that could hold my attention.

  • @noblesteel Was? How so?

    

  • lol

  • I didn't even realise that Time was a kid's magazine. I thought it already was for adults....

  • @mithago I love it when people take this stuff seriously.

  • The Onion's videos are getting more real!

  • Well, for years only kids read Times ...

  • thay always get new actors!!!!

  • time just got owned.

  • Bloody fucking brilliant

  • BREAKING NEWS: The Onion becomes the first and only news network to never make the switch to the 16:9 aspect ratio, causing a revolution in reporting and film-making in which more and more people return to the previously thought inferior format of 4:3.

    I'd watch that in 3D. :P

  • Yay Hangover Helper!!!!

  • my chemistry teacher once explained to the class why and how drinking more can lesens the effects of a hangover, then realised he'd adviced us drink more and told us not to tell are parents about that class. btw in ireland we call this remedy the hair of the dog and i was wondering if and other countries have a special name for it.

  • @kindestchains we call it hair of the dog too... nice one on the teacher's part.. I've said things in class at times that I thought... whoops prolly wasn't the best idea..

  • @kindestchains In Texas, US we also call it the hair of the dog, too. Small world, I guess.

  • i am shocked by the onion's lazy substandand editing on this piece

  • @teague67 - HAH! Nice one! Subtle.

  • #TeamEconomist

  • Bravo Onion!!!!

  • This is absolutely brilliant. I just wish for a news corporation that is truly fair and balanced. A man can dream I guess.

  • Wait... The Onion movie was made before or after this channel appeared? I guess after, since the onion movie's actors dont reasamble a bit in the actors here.

  • @megaZeroXXO they have over 77 actors... try looking into the other videos... most of the actors are different

  • @megaZeroXXO during and after

  • I think it's sad, it's obvious that they're a dying brand and are trying something radical to save themselves, but let's face it: No one can take Time seriously after all these years of coverage obviously aimed at cihldren.

    Still, I might take a look or two at the "new" Time. Who knows, it might have something interesting and actually worth reading.

    HAH! Who am I kidding. It'll never work.

  • Newsweek, the news magazine for the illiterate. This video would be funnier if it wasn't so true.

  • woah! i cant bealive they really think time is for kids, i mean really, sure they acutually got a very poor writing, but it because america's becoming stupid, i mean, really....

    LOL, i know this is the onion man, LOL just whana to piss ya of :P:P (onion=prank news)

  • its all about newsweek!

  • I actually read Time in high school, but not since. Glad to see I"m not the only one.

  • @reclusivesage nerd

  • Lady gaga

  • What's funny to me is that I actually used to love Time as a young kid.

  • @AbbyHatesCake Me too. And it's funny that I haven't read it much since then.

    ;)

  • Bringing up "Ulysses" is a bit of a buzz kill at a party. I love it.

  • lol only thing i noticed on the bottom, "glad introduces new force-flex condoms for irregularly shaped penises

  • This is fucking hillarious.

  • The vast majority of popular media has been dumbing down for the last thirty years or so...I blame 'USA Today' for starting this trend.

  • I've always thought this about TIME.

  • hair of the dog is a long known cure for hangover,not sure if that bit supposed to be funny as the truth isnt really satire

  • So does this mean Time for Kids is for... fetuses?

  • Comment removed

  • once upon a time, TIME was a serious, 80+ page publication with in-depth articles.  Then everyone became stupid.

  • @fishhead06 there were always stupid people in all of history...just only recently stupid people started having lots of money to spend.

  • I hope a senior editor from Time watched this and felt like shit.

  • @F33bs

    Yes, but then he had milk, cookies, and a nap... and felt all better.

  • chopping the onion made me cry

  • HAHAHAHA Joe Klein is such a tool

  • hahaha fucking brilliant satire

  • LOL

  • lol "Taylor Swift is one of the one-hundred people that most affect our world." That sounds like Time, but that REALLY sounds like Rolling Stone.

  • This was BRILLIANT.
