I'm also rooting for the Onion! Their content is perhaps divisive, but their humor is really something else, of the twisted sort, for sure. And if they really change their media to include videos...well I'm interested in seeing what they'll produce!

I agree! But make no mistake, The Onion's done lots of great video. Two rabbit holes for you:

1. From the deep archives, this parody of local morning TV is some of my favorite video ever (the guy was actually a TV news anchor before getting into comedy) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAC49295758EAEDDC

2. The Onion's film critic series, which was regularly updated until a year or so ago: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4NL9i-Fu15iZLbSfrxZCpZfKchWr9Vna

I used to like the Onion but at some point their jokes weren't funny anymore. I would have liked to write for them at one point. Now I'm happy doing my own satire news.
