TTC announces new personal subway cars
Some great April Fools pranking by the TTC. (You can tell it’s a prank because the car isn’t filled to crushing with other passengers, and appears not to be stuck, motionless, between tunnels.) In response to concerns about passengers clipping their finger nails, eating food and putting their feet on seats while riding crowded subway […]
The Dreaded Lubyanka
I’d only heard of this notorious building because of Archer‘s jokes, but it turns out the Russians have jokes about it, too: Following the Bolshevik Revolution, the structure was seized by the government for the headquarters of the secret police, then called the Cheka. In Soviet Russian jokes, it was referred to as the tallest […]
Dear Juice CEO
Somebody clearly hasn’t slept much lately. Luckily it’s our gain, just make sure they aren’t allowed near heavy machinery anytime soon. Advice to a Juice CEO: High fructose? I don’t judge. Maybe that fructose is going through something right now and needs to be high. Maybe it’s prescription. Better than bank robbery fructose, am I […]
The Onion at the Oscars
I haven’t watched an Oscar telecast in decades, but man would I watch the hell out of this. According to eyewitness accounts, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Howard Koch carried a large plastic tub filled with Academy Awards to the center of the stage halfway through the ceremony and wordlessly overturned the […]
Scrooge Parade
I’m over a month late to this party (note: Only 11 shopping months left ’til Christmas!) but it makes me laugh anew. Police in Kingston, Ont., have charged a man who was allegedly telling children Santa Claus did not exist during the city’s annual Santa Claus parade. Police say a 24-year-old man was arrested Sunday […]
Baby Name Shame
I have to admit, the name Banjo is awesome. That said, I’d get a dog before I ever considered having a baby, so my yelling it at the park will offend far fewer people than the mom of the kid who runs to greet me. The magazine surveyed 13,000 readers and asked them, “If you […]
@tweenhobo
I’m a follower of Tween Hobo on Twitter. Read this and you’ll understand why you should be, too. Tween Hobo is it. Her work passes what we might call (after G.E. Lessing) the Laocoön test: it could only be a Twitter feed, not a book, not a video, not a stage show. It’s ephemeral, pop-culture-driven, […]
‘Diamond’ Joe Biden
Without exaggeration, one of the happiest moments of the 2012 election was realising it meant “four more years” for the Onion’s Joe Biden articles. They’ve built the Veep up into such an amazing caricature that every article is fried gold. This Reddit AMA is an excellent distillation. I’m ‘Diamond’ Joe Biden and I’ll be answering […]
Kitty Corliss
I didn’t realise this was a reference to a basejumping video that used the same dramatic music cues. I also didn’t care. I’ve watched this easily 20 times now and it still makes me cry with laughter. SAIIIIIIL! Kitty Corliss “Grinding the Crack” – YouTube.
