  • "What kind of newspaper prints ... falsities?" - The Beijing Times

    Irony is at its best when its unintended.

  • This video is a lot like having to explain a joke to someone - it's killing the humor.

  • It's good to know that America's Finest News Source also knows how to joke around. Fake news, that's a good one!

  • "In the early days there were a lot of people who took it seriously because they didn't know it...."

    A look at the comments under their Youtube videos will tell you that people still take it seriously. Sometimes that's almost as funny as their videos and many of the videos amuse me, and I'm rarely truly amused. I think the onion has been a positive influence on my life. If nothing makes you laugh depression isn't far behind.

  • @TFDude101 Lol pokemon, thats gay too.

  • @MrBrilliantChaos Yeah, because every time you play for about 1 hour you lose all your brain cells. You're just a 46 year old who sits in his mom's basement and plays with Pokemon dolls.

  • @TFDude101 I won't let my self play CoD on the risk of loseing brain cells. But really, if anyone says anything bad about your favorite game you rage. I mean seriously?

  • @MrBrilliantChaos You got a problem with that? I'm a Call of Duty fan, specifically Modern Warfare. You're a... something else fan. You're just mad because your parents won't let you play CoD.

  • @TFDude101 Seriously, atleast i am not a fanboi.

  • @MrBrilliantChaos I can't be nearly as stupid as you. I can imagine people mistaking you for Sarah Palin.

  • @TFDude101 Creative, but still, how stupid can you be? fag fanboi.

  • @uwlwsrpm Look at you Mr. Halo, Pokemon, and dare I say Club Penguin kid.
