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
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.
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
I like the Taliban guy telling the 911 conspiracy guy that 911 was real.

"A lot of networks report the news as it happens. But only one has the power to report the news BEFORE it happens. Through our state-of-the-art wormhole sattelite, the Onion News Network Future channel brings you exclusive news transmissions from the year 2137. Because to stay ahead in today's world, you need to know what's going to happen in tomorrow's."

The part about the bowl of water at the end is perfect.

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
