50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

I love the Onion so much, I want to marry it.

My friend Aaron just sent me this. I believe this represents the shortest amount of time between me getting something hilarious via e-mail and posting it to my blog:

    Thanks! I think my favourite is their movie of the “High School Tony Awards,” including awards for “Most Inconsistent Cockney Accent” and “Most Sexual Tension during a Pre-Show Cast Massage”

    Nice! A bit too much swearing, but very funny.

    “Mother-fucking time vampire” is fighting to be my new favorite phrase. But it’s up against “Hit robots, make fall down” so it has a ways to go.

    Hahahaha! Thanks for sharing this, Wil. And I’m with Tara–I totally have to have that piece of shit now.

    This is an instant classic. Right up there with the MacBook Wheel.

    I love the Onion. Their videos always make me laugh. At work I usually end up emailing them to half my office. This video gave them a particularly good laugh (seeing as how I work in a support department with nerdy tech guys).
    The reality show skanks setting unrealistic standards for everyday skanks one is absolutely hilarious. Also the Bratz dolls one. ROFL. That one made me cry I laughed so hard.

    Hey, my birthday is coming up—I’m going to ask for one of these. It’ll go great next to my digital camera that I can’t figure out how to take pictures with!

    Is it wrong that I feel this way about the clicker?
    This probably has something to with the fact that I call it “the clicker”.

    I am SO putting this on my blog right now. ROFL.

    I showed that to my brother last week and he actually had to fight back spewing his drink out his nose, he was laughing so hard.

    I just forwarded this around the office.
    In retrospect, I should have added “Turn down your volume or wear headphones!”
    My Bad!
    *snicker*

    Awesome!! My favorite ONN video was the one about adapting the popular Iron Man trailer into a movie.

    Holy fucking goddamned shit that was funny!

    Very funny. This reminded me of the Onion Story: “YouTube Contest Challenges Users To Make A ‘Good’ Video”

    wow, I just loved how serious they were, brilliant… =D
    Now, in a bit of shameless plugging:
    in regards to you being at trekkie, I thought you should check this out –
    http://vimeo.com/vernonwilmervideo
    If you go here, you can see my friend’s first installment of his STTE (Star Trek The Experience) documentary. In fact, every trekkie reading this should go watch it!
    PS. You can delete this if you don’t like the plugging, =D

    What a fucking piece of shit!! I wonder if the Best Buy near me has one…

    Oh, Wil, that’s the funniest fucking thing I’ve seen in a long while.
    I have it out for Sony right now after it taking a call to Sony, then a call to Linksys, then a call to Sony, followed by another call to Linksys to get our PS3 hooked up to the internet. Fucking ridiculous.
    I may need a new piece of Sony shit to figure out now…

    I found this oh so funny, up there with Mad TVs Apple parody, the iRaq Love catching this stuff on The Onion’s podcast.

    Thank you for making me laugh twice today. Trust me, I needed it.
    (The other time? I’m reading “Sunken Treasure” during my lunch breaks this week – and got to “Datalore”. Surprised I didn’t have to explain myself…)

    That made me laugh so hard I cried! Thanks for sharing it.

    I was trying to be annoyed at the shameless plug, and failed. The vids brought back a flood of memories from when I went there with my lil bro. So much so I had to write about em. http://tinyurl.com/btjy3t
    Thanks! (Now we’re both plugging.)

    I’m constantly amazed by The Onion, I remember discovering it many moons ago and wondering how long they’d be able to keep it up. I mean there was no way they could possibly keep delivering material of the calibre of “Holy Shit, Man Walks On Fucking Moon!” was there? Glad they’ve proved me wrong. Some of their election coverage was beyond genius and made the likes of The Daily Show pale in comparison.

  30. Danielle D. says:
    27 February, 2009 at 8:22 am

    Great, my plan is working! Great blog, btw. Both the videos and your blog put together had even more memories come back to me.
    Man, now I can’t wait for his second ep, =D

    Holy crap. I laughed so hard it hurts.

    I snorted my cup of Earl Grey right through my nose when I saw this. Everyone in the office was looking at me like I was a LOONY. Utterly brilliant!

    Yeah that was pretty funny. The sad thing is that I used to work retail electronics and I think I know what that thing actually is. I think it’s one of those video switchers, so you can plug multiple video sources into your older TV that only has the one video input. Just goes to show you how much of a geek I really am. Who the fuck knows shit like that? I guess I do. Otherwise that was pretty fucking funny. I am not sure it needed ALL that swearing, but it was damn good. The thing about swearing all the time is that the viewer/listener gets numb to the words. I was getting numb.
    Very funny though.

    Hilarious! I am embarrassed to say I hadn’t heard of The Onion yet so I really have to thank you for posting this. Your the best Wil!

    that is just so fnnning funny, I need to use that at the next presentation I have to do to a bunch of uptight, unfunny c levels and see if they can keep from blowing snot out their noses.

    28 February, 2009 at 9:28 pm

    oh dear god, i am reading your blog to keep me from dealing with the digital to analog converter that i need to hook up and this made me laugh so hard i spit cheap red wine up my nose! thanks *hoping the new piece of crap works like it’s supposed to – it’s not a sony*
