[TheStickManIRL]

angelique is better

[vazfinest5]

@AlexNiedt lmaooooll thats my favorite part!!!

[fabaum22]

How long until Aquaman gets his own movie?

[Disipat3]

"ludacris is trying to remember if his name ends with a dollar sign or not"

[Loadedone82]

This about the consumer not the movie. We are drones. Wake up. I'm trying to

[TheAppman2000]

I used to be the green lantern... But then I took an arrow to the knee

[Theespada13]

You know who this is. It's Green Lantern.

[AdmiralBetas]

@Theespada13 That's the dude with those sick arrows, right? Yeah, he kicks ass! He's my favorite Marvel character :D

[Buttscum]

if i ever met the guy, i would call him greg lantern.

[Fiki2k7]

@ipodtouchhugger I see what you did there.

[trigeminus93]

I love Greg Lantern!

[eviltube1111]

If the Deadpool movie is awful then I'm going to be very sad.

[moleman40000]

@eviltube1111 i might just kill myself or atleast some one i dont care about

[friscokid182]

This is fucking stupid.

You know what the irony is? Before the movie came out, Green Lantern was one of the most critically acclaimed superhero comics on the stands. Then when it turned out the movie sucked, all the film critics could say was "LOL it's fucking GREEN LANTERN! WTF did you expect?!?!?!?!"

Idiots...

[eviltube1111]

@friscokid182 whoever the 5 critics were that said that, they're dumb. I thought it would be an awful movie because 9/10 comic book movies are bad, despite how good the comics themselves are.

[pjcrafty]

Don't hate on green lantern. :(

[EscaExcel]

"It looks like Greg Lantern will be a huge hit, can't wait."

[Coogg1376]

The only Superhero movie that will ever do justice to any comic is the new Amazing Spiderman Series. I wish the Onion made this video back when Dragonball Evolution came out, it was the worst 30 minutes of my life!!!

[wftjet]

"They put together all these posters,.. and they made that really nice trailer. Who am I to say I don't want to see this movie?"

[vjm3]

"Unemployment is causing thousands of Americans to run for Congress..."

OH SHIT FROM LEFT FIELD!!!

[jmcgrail821]

@ArsonallHD

I feel like you pulled that number outta nowhere.

[VictorVonFox]

[alternitivepat]

Supreme court sheds winter robes

[WemaketheFunny]

THIS. VIDEO

[MidnightRedemption]

yep.

[GooseHinson]

This video's message is so true! I have no idea what the fuck the green lantern is nor his powers! LOL 

[PatPowers1995]

Greg Lantern and his magic power ring makes me say "Shazam!"

[Puglous]

"Young man, living his life, then suddenly BOOM, he's the Green Lantern he's force to...deal with something." XD

[roboshuffle]

Brilliant as always.

[zombieman841]

I remember when I was living my life, but then boom, I was the Green Lantern, and I was forced to deal with something.

[MrDevilius1]

I didn't know who he was either :)

[teague67]

I'm due to become a fan on wednesday. right now I'm cautiously disnissive..

[Preluding99]

I LOVE THE ONION! This report was dead on and always much more accurate than Fox News. LOL!

[Konekodesune]

I was too distracted at seeing Jill Dobson on The Onion to register what anyone was talking about. Love her~

[TheEnviroFriend]

i was informed that this movie was being made almost 2 years ago, because i have a relative who is helping make the movie.

[proofish]

ludacris trying to remember if his name ends with a dollar sign or not haha 1:42

[Black70Fastback]

andea bennet gives me such a boner.

[meechi94]

I didn't even realize Thor was a superhero until the movie came out. 

[poopdude]

Wow, that was hilarious.

[atmatheprophet]

Wow now they are really sounding like Fox News.

[vmbrainman]

anyone notice clifford banes is NEVER THERE!??!!! dispite the fact its called in the know WITH CLIFFORD BANES!!!!

[hulliscorrupt]

lol. great stuff. please keep up this format :D

[sinbysin666]

The Green Lantern was such a letdown because it stay faithful to the source material... I think. Wasn't he supposed to have a shield, and this patriotic flag uniform thing?

[TheWebMaster179]

America's favorite super-hero, Green Lantern (pictured above)

xDDDD

[BRONCOWEN]

I like The Onion but I wouldn't give them a Pulitzer either. All they ever do now is wine about not getting one. Also their terrible language isn't getting them a freaking journalism award.

[IcedPhoenix666]

@BRONCOWEN Neither is your spelling.

[BRONCOWEN]

@IcedPhoenix666 Oh no, I forgot the h in whine. What a horror.

[garethac81]

@BRONCOWEN

You're also a fucking pussy for wining/whining about a few swear words. Seriously, in a world ravaged by disease, famine, war, poverty, corruption, crime and natural disasters, you're getting upset about people saying "shit" and "fuck"?

*MONUMENTAL FACEPALM*

[BRONCOWEN]

@garethac81 No, I'm saying that prestigious journalism awards are not given to people that use SHIT and FUCK in their articles. Understand what I was talking about you dumb ASS.

I would say "monumental facepalm" after this, but I'm not a RETARD

[garethac81]

@BRONCOWEN

Ah, I see...so the use of one, or god forbid even TWO swear words negates the possibility for a piece of journalism to warrant any praise?

I refer you to my earlier facepalm.

[garethac81]

@BRONCOWEN

And please, don't pretend that you aren't personally upset by profanity...nobody refers to swearing as "terrible language" who isn't a real tightass about it.

As I said before, it's a really, really silly thing to complain about.

[jackthayer]

@BRONCOWEN oh i get it i'm so sorry sir i'm sure ur old fragile heart could not take an cussing in journalism btw i think its great to see old people here on youtube btw whats it like being 90 years old?

[BRONCOWEN]

@jackthayer I don't care about swearing!! Shit, fuck, damn, nigger. If you would use your head you would understand what I've been saying this entire time you retarded walrus nigger. That those who give the awards don't give them to those who use poor language in their journalism. Understand, fucktard?

[vorkvoyd]

@BRONCOWEN South Park uses lots of foul language and that would be the least of there obscenities. However, they still won a Nobel peace prize. Just because something is viewed a repulsive does not dictate whether or not they should receive appraise. It may be fake news but they often are able to tell the truth with their satire.

[BRONCOWEN]

@vorkvoyd They didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. I'm done with you.

[vorkvoyd]

@BRONCOWEN I remember watching a documentary about it but I can't find it so I won't count it. However, they have still won a tons of awards and I think my point is still valid.

[joker52mlb]

@vorkvoyd Did you just fucking say Trey Parker and Matt Stone won a Nobel Peace Prize? I cannot begin to point out the fail that lies within that statement. But for the record, please don't equate the good names of Trey and Matt to a bullshit organization like Nobel.

[0wnij]

@BRONCOWEN Jesus Christ, calm down.

[BRONCOWEN]

@0wnij lolwut

[midgetrocker36]

@BRONCOWEN ITS A JOKE DUMBASS

[BRONCOWEN]

@midgetrocker36 I know what the Onion is, it's fake news. You probably didn't understand what I was talking about because you're fucking retarded.

[midgetrocker36]

@BRONCOWEN im sorry for not taking a show seriously that is not meant to be taken seriously

[stuijn]

xD Greg Lantern

[fishgul69]

lmao, is it bad I felt the same way? green lantern or other well known comic book heroes?  hmmmm.... lol.

[kingricky71]

i think we have more important things to worry about than greg lantern like the sex slaves taking the jobs from our prostitutes

[Adiorocks949]

I went to school with Greg Lantern. 

[stellosac]

no ryan reynolds, its been a thing come true for everyone

[jeremimi]

im cracking up

[towerguarder]

HAHAHA this made me laugh so hard

[AbbyCatTV]

Haha Greg Lantern. Andrea Bennett rocks.

[AlexNiedt]

"Yeah, Green Lantern! Sure! Why not?" lmao

[1simo93521]

How dare they! I have been Greg Lantern fan way longer than anyone else I get into a boring conversation with.

[PickiestEater]

@neidaquacken MYCOCK 411

[Voodoofreak35]

62 people don't like Green Lantern. :(

[JoeSmoeX]

Hmm...not up to the onion's standard of buffoonery...

(this comment only an excuse to use the word buffoonery...)

[DamusNostril]

wow! you guys really gave them one hell of a ribbing. I bet their assholes are still sore. : /

fuckin' product placement

[articcoyfox]

Greg Lantern is going to take the world by storm!

[abbisexmachine]

I dunno, I'm not too excited about this one. I'm going to hold out for the next marketing campaign to tell me what to be excited about.

[ilikemunting]

@abbisexmachine thats how i feel, i cant wait for Captain America movie, they say i will like that movie.

[80smusicfanNO1]

LOL so true

[EpicGodMan]

62 people didn't like the Greg Lantern movie.

[micfiends]

fuck dc except Batman. nuff said bub/

[MrOmniblast]

@micfiends

Green Lantern is awesome. This movie isn't. People who know nothing about the character will walk in and hate him...

[2Niyari]

1:18 thumbs up if your jaw dropped in disgust at what fags these people are...

[reodk]

This movie sucked, jewliwood is getting desperate to make money.

[iantheuncountable]

@reodk Hollywood is run by gemstones?

[MEareCAT]

Who the fuck is the green lantern? -.-

[AuskaNeumaki]

@MEareCAT Are you retarded?

[RichardMontalban]

@AuskaNeumaki Fail!

[AuskaNeumaki]

@RichardMontalban That doesn't even make sense.

[RichardMontalban]

@MEareCAT Awesome!



[C433ze]

haha nice xD

[elk832]

I think the Onion messed up......I've known about the Green Lantern for ages, and I don't even read comic books.

[mewt73]

@elk832 What are you talking about? I knew about the green lantern too. But that's because of Justice League. And he was black. I have no idea who this guy is.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

haha. Brilliant. I remember hearing about the Green Lantern movie and I was like, "Seriously? Who gives a shit about the Green Lantern?" I think they probably would've gone w/ Aquaman if the idea hadn't already been tainted by those Entourage doofuses. Personally, I'm waiting for the Wonder Twins movie. Shape of a ....

[friscokid182]

Fuck you, Onion

I've been a Green Lantern fan since I was a kid

And I spent three years waiting for the movie to come out

So when they screwed the movie up, I was actually sad.

The Green Lantern had awesome potential, but it got wasted because no one took him seriously

[cknj3746]

@friscokid182 Oh goody! like all the other nameless comic books, this one seems to have its own underground hipster fan base who "was a ____ ____ fan since they were a kid."

[cknj3746]

@friscokid182 Oh goody! like all the other unpopular, generic comic books, this one seems to have its own underground hipster fan base who "was a ____ ____ fan since they were a kid."

[fullyhalfempy]

@friscokid182 HAHAHA! How embarrassing, Greg Lantern is a stupid character.

[friscokid182]

@fullyhalfempy How would you know, asshole?

Have you ever read a single issue of the comics?

[fullyhalfempy]

@friscokid182 Never looked at a gay porno magazine either, I just saw the cover and knew it was for fags.

[ennuieffect]

@friscokid182 Don't shoot the messenger. Have a sense of humor, kid. Jeez.

[BDillz28]

Glad they added that little bit about Sarah palin and Tim paulenty at the end

[ipenguinpod]

1:41 greg lantern lawl i love the onion

[kirby80902]

hahaha love the way she says "Power Ring" like she means somethin else o.O

[BigSean1992]

"looks like greg lantern is going to be a big hit" LOL YOU SO FUNNY ONION lol

[Nymphibious]

lmfao 1:38 "Greg Lantern"

[Tikikala]

hit plus if you want to see the other story at the end

[daymreman]

thumbs up if your not going to thumbs up this

[jeremyshambles]

"a thing come true", nice one

[ChibbsJermaine]

Greg Lantern

[Physhi]

International sex slaves are definitely taking jobs from American prostitutes.

[bakemonoshi]

this is troll. And i don't read green lantern.

[RhinoSea]

@bakemonoshi are you a troll?

[bakemonoshi]

@RhinoSea oh, that touched me stranger. Thank you for helping me realize the error in my ways.

[lethalbee]

Greg Lantern sounds like a pretty cool guy

[th1snme1sn0tTakn]

"Al Qaeda debuts new magazine catering to male 18-to-martyr demographic" LOL!

[scottyrobot]

But most people have heard of the Green Lantern before this movie, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been rising stars for the past few years...i just don't see the satire here

[Bigkahkistan]

@scottyrobot Yeah, but peoples' familiarity with the Green Lantern doesn't extend much beyond the knowledge that he can fly and has a magic ring. Nobody knows his origin story offhand like they do with Batman or Superman.

[DrDreamPop]

@Bigkahkistan what do you mean nobody knows his origin story off hand? you do realize you are on the internet watching an onion video, right? most of the onion's target audience knows it by heart.

[Bigkahkistan]

@DrDreamPop That's quite an assumption. I don't know, nor do I care, about the Green Lantern, or most comic books really. And the Onion's satire extends to the populace at large, not just their own audience.

[mewt73]

@scottyrobot the green lantern was always black in my book. and i have no idea who those two actors are. I thought the satire was perfectly clear here

[captainspockify]

When the lady sai power ring did she mean penis

[lifesgrandfinale]

Why did i just see an ad for meeting justin beiber on the onion?

[urbanpsych0]

anyone laugh when she said unemployment is causing thousands of out of work Americans to run for congress? i sure as hell did.

[EvisceratorBand]

I can't wait to see Greg Lantern.

[jpete3027666]

This is going to be a box office disaster. The execs signing off on the budget for this film will surely be fired.

[gaeta34]

im interested in the prostitute story.

[TheHorrorchicken]

"Who or what the hell is Green Lantern" That's my initial reaction when I heard about this movie.

[newman824]

haahahah are international sex slaves taking jobs from american prostitutes? Lmfao that was randomly hilarious.

[ChuckyJesus666]

Mehhh....I have to say this was not up to the Onion's usual satiric standards...somewhat lame parody....no Pulitzer this time, Onion...sorry....

[tranceotaku]

:D

[dojo33]

Thumbs up because I said something that makes you want to -_-

[dabearsraiders]

This is a thing come true for me.

[Millhouse3671]

Thumbs up if you noticed that people who make comments like this are assholes.

[viciousandchaotic]

that was awesome. this is the kind of onion i love.

[decapitatespammers]

This vid is getting back to more like what I think the onion should be, especially toward the end

[KVandendriessche]

Haha Hunderworld! Thanks for pointing out the obvious 'ya goober.

[MrRookie26]

55 people disliked the video

[SolarPhoenix61]

International sex slaves taking jobs from American Prostitutes

LMFAO !!!!

[akpokemon]

"Greg Lantern" ha ha This is great and so true

[Xezatt]

i was carrying a green lantern for chinese new year

[bloodySunday77]

Green who?

[BoxNinjaProductions]

i loved this!

[yngvaibucketrucci]

oh man this shit is so true I thought I was the only one that noticed

[plagren]

Thumbs up if you're a mindless sheep who will do anything (s)he's told!

[chiejina]

@plagren no

[andrespereyda]

andrea bennett looked so sexy when she said "Greg Lantern". i know what i'm fantasizing about tonight

[heymisterderp]

I know who this is...no question about it.

[jameslikecrazySH]

hey jeez i saw the green lantern today and it was tight

[andrespereyda]

@jameslikecrazySH is his name greg?

[hydrolito]

Alan Scott was Green Lantern back in the forties. Hal Jordan came laterin late 50's or early sities. Was Based on Alladin who had a magic lamp and ring so you might say Alladin was the original green Lantern.

[hydrolito]

He's been a fan since he was told he would be in it. Does that mean he had no idea who the Green Lantern was before he was told he got the part? Did the Screen writer and director know who the Green Lantern was before they were told about project? Hope so that's more important than the actor knowing as they decide direction of characters and who plays various characters.

[andrespereyda]

@hydrolito it's even better if they don't know until AFTER the movie comes out. kinda like the young tennessee girls who enriched uranium for the atomic bombs dropped on japan by the united states of america

[DispinalNotes]

"Woo! Green Lantern! Sure, why not!"

[96Ajay96]

Woooo hook Greg lantern can't wait to watch it

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

stfu about the green lantern idiots no wonder you don't have any pulitzers like me

[guomaster]

@SolidGoldKalashnikov u an idiot

[Nysyarc]

@SolidGoldKalashnikov You're so funny.

[NanaNarcotic]

these were my thoughts when the movie was coming out LOL

[aladarnd]

@CartoonsMania same, they tried to stuff every bit of green lantern related stuff they could in one movie, so to others, it probably seems incredibly clusterfucked, but fans like seeing their favorite characters on the big screen...

[doctamic]

is this real?

[andrespereyda]

@doctamic is this?
