I have been noticing it is less and less funny. The latest issue is particularly bad. Anybody noticing that?

I can honestly say that I never laughed at anything they've done. Maybe a smirk, but never a laugh.

Wait, what? It's satire?

Well, when real life becomes more like the Onion everyday, it stops being funny...

it's like the internet's version of a real life jokeshop. it's funny for the sake of humor's nostalgia. Here's your fake dog poop.

Well if you pick up their book of their book of front pages, which is great - you would have to admit they have done some of the funniest stuff around...but..they are losing it I think.

I am convinced that 90% of the people on qbn like absolutely nothing.

they just like typing smirky negative things. its an attitude that is kind of infectious, but also immature. maybe reflects the general age of people in here?

This is still one of the funniest things I have ever seen online.

not true, goofiness laced with dark sarcasm bubbles my cauldron sac.

wow, that is great. maybe all their talent is working on video now. i never watched their video. i happen to be able to pick up the old fashioned paper version on the street.

- Both of these are older videos, but still unbelievably funny.Mr_Know
- Always so impressed how well directed/acted the news anchors are. Intonation and cadence is spot on.neandersthal

Yeah, every so often their jokes get recycled or stale and it feels like the quality dips. They've ran Biden for about all he's worth, and I'm sure doing the video section now runs their resources thin at times.
Ever listen to the This American Life episode on them. Act 1. It's pretty good on the insight. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/…
- yeah. true, but lately ive noticed it farther and farther away from the way they were.twokids

Some times an exaggeration of the truth isn't always funny but so true you have to laugh.

i always liked "shark whisperer mysteriously goes missing"

eh. i hate onion news
- bigtrick0
it has never been funny. the headlines are sometimes good for a grin. the articles merely repeat the same joke, in more excruciating detail. all the jokes are variations of "here is something that would never happen because it is the opposite of what would really occur. lol how absurd."
i am a curmudgeon.

Another great headline:
"Kuwait Deploys Troop to Iraq"
*accompanied by a photo of a lone solder.
