The Onion's clearly not even trying anymore, as evidenced by aggressively lazy swipe at conservatives

OK, so technically speaking, there’s no law that satire has to be funny. At least no official law.

That said, if you’re gonna market yourself as a satirical outlet, you should probably at least make an effort to be mildly humorous. We’re looking at you, The Onion. You guys were on a roll there for a while and had a good run, but for the past decade or so, you’ve really struggled to not be completely lame and flat-out lazy.

Here are some recent offenses:

It’s not the fact that The Onion is mocking stuff we believe in that we find offensive. Because we’re not humorless scolds who are totally incapable of laughing at ourselves. No, what’s offensive is how reliably unfunny The Onion has become. That’s what bugs us.

And unfortunately, The Onion has thus far given any indication that they’re interested in recapturing even a little bit of their former glory. Which brings us to this offering from them today:

To be fair, sometimes the tweet really doesn’t do the article justice. So let’s see what the article brings to the table … OK, we looked. The article is just even cringier.

Like, we get what The Onion was going for: “Conservatives are Nazis LOL.” But what they actually produced is just so aggressively, painfully stale and outright anti-humor. It’s like a crime against comedy. The Onion should thank their lucky stars that there isn’t a law that would punish them for bad satire. Nazi comparisons are a dime a dozen. Like a daily occurrence. Give us something new. Where’s that creativity we’re always hearing so much about?

Oh, it’s definitely rough. But it’s no rough draft. This was literally the best they could do.

That’s not a compliment, by the way.

Let’s just say we won’t shed any tears over this Onion when it ultimately turns into fertilizer.
