#109 The Onion

Before you begin hanging around with white people, you should know that all white humor comes from three sources: The Simpsons, Monty Python, and The Onion.  If you are not presently familiar with The Onion, you should visit TheOnion.com immediately as it is essential in your development and cultivation of white friendships.  If you are not familiar with The Onion, your conversations with white people will be boring, humorless, and unlikely to lead anywhere productive.

Before moving on, it’s important to know exactly what The Onion is and where it came from. The Onion is a satirical newspaper and website that was founded in Madison, Wisconsin – a very popular location for white people.  When the publication got more popular it moved to New York.  Since then it has produced a body of work that includes audio, video, and thousands of articles that entertain white people every single day of the year.

It is so popular, that every white person home contains at least one book from The Onion.  If that home is occupied exclusively by white men then said book will be located in the bathroom.  There are no exceptions.

At any given time a white person has 100-200 Onion headlines memorized and ready for deployment into a conversation.  In fact it is impossible to talk to a white person for more than one hour without hearing “that reminds me of the Onion article….”  In order to remain a viable part of that conversation it is essential that you are able to quickly suggest a related, but different, Onion article on a similar subject.  Doing so will show the white person that you are smart and have a good sense of humor.

As an institution, the Onion is beyond reproach for white people.  You should not imply that you don’t get it or that it’s not funny.  In fact, the only acceptable criticism for the Onion is that you are unable to work for them.  This is because every white male under 35 is convinced that they could and should be working for The Onion.

I think the UK equivalent of the The Onion is http://www.thedailymash.co.uk. Love it.


 

Even onions are white, well except for the yellow ones and the red ones. Then there are shallots which aren’t really funny at all. Anyway, best post at the onion ever was “Police Search For Poorly Drawn Man” BIG inspiration for my own posts at StuffRichPeopleLove.com


 

I am white and hate the Onion


 
 

The onion is the best thing since sliced bread (sliced bread having been invented the previous winter)


 

I love the onion and I am white.


of course you do on October 22, 2009 at 8:47 am

Of course you do.


 
 

The Onion is terrible. The only way the stories would ever be funny is if they were actually true. Thankfully for the Onion, 50 percent of the population has below average intelligence so they shouldn’t have any problems staying popular.


 

I too, just dont find the Onion funny. I dont get the humor.
It just seems stupid and funny to a 5 year old kind of funny.
I love lots of kind of humor. I really do.
but I just dont get it at all………….just my op.

If you don’t get a certain sense of humor, you might not want to call it “funny to a 5 year old”. That suggests that you are admitting that a five-year-old has a more sophisticated sense of humor than you do. If you are trying to call it immature, that still works fine, but those two sentences in immediate succession looks kind of like you calling yourself an idiot. Or, hell, maybe you’re a four-year-old; I suppose I shouldn’t jump to conclusions…
