"Hey Mark." "Soooo..." "Yeah." Spooky.
"Oh hi Mark."
That was totally him.
@@christosvoskresye YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!!!
Niels Vantilburg anyways, how’s you sex life?
I think they actually contacted a spirit there accidentally.
That was way too authentic to be acting lol... 😂
"Non-abusive circus plagued with disobedient animals"
Kin Enriquez wait that was in there?
@@The_Scouts_Code 2:45 at the bottom of the screen
The Webstermap app for words sounds like Twitter's trending map.
@Mëïstër Ëmm “This hurts them more than it hurts the animals”... right...
@Mëïstër Ëmm I can't tell if you're joking or not
What would be even funnier, is that if someone didn't remember a spirit that clearly knows them
Well I guess the whole point of the joke is that the guy isn’t a legit medium, he just „conjures“ „spirits“ of people that are so totally indefinite anyone could recognise them as their distant acquaintances
@@mark9294 That couldn't be it. The first guest never mentions working in finance, but the first person conjured says "still working in finance?"
theres this key and peele skit like that, this guy goes to a graveyard to go to his grandfathers grave and a long lost acquaintance appears from a nearby grave. He doesn't recognize him.
Gorillo that’s a funny one of theirs
They probably had a bunch of ideas but they can only include so many and keep the bit funny
The detective guy said he needed to sit in silence for at least an hour
This guy does it so much faster
Star Foth lmfao
With this guy it adds up to an hour of awkward silence anyway.
OwO
He may have sat in silence before the interview.
This guy's a fake. The other guy was real.
"Do you know --"
"She's gone."
"Oh 😔"
.
..
...
....
.....
"My best friend was sleeping with this guy".. "That was totally him" LOLOL!!!
Her delivery was literally perfect
Every actor on every episode is so funny. Where do they find these people?
Yes! They’re consistently very good. Must be hundreds of underemployed yet talented actors in L.A. willing to work cheaply.
LePage Channel Craigslist
LePage Channel They mostly have such an upper middle class, Midwestern parent look to them to. Like they got roped into this while their kids are off touring a private college campus.
You mean those are actors???
They found them on the street, didn't you hear?
This is real, you can't act like your talking to acquaintances ghosts like that
*you're (contraction of "YOU aRE")
"Your" is for possession.
alvallac21 yeah we know, thanks dude. We all know what he meant.
@@alvallac2171 He was channeling a dead acquaintance with poor spelling, so don't blame him.
@@alvallac2171 Technically the medium is possessed, so possession is the correct term here.
@@Pagalchhagal Nothing to do with the thread. A random comment like that makes you sound like an imaginary bot.
Bahahahahsh! "I have to go" "Me too" OMG THAT WAS DEFINITELY HIM!

@@mark9294 lol!
@Mister Emm I'm sure touching will be involved indeed...
Id like to think its Karl with a K :D
@Mëïstër Ëmm ah, I too like having ghosts touch my ball
@Mëïstër Ëmm balls to the holes... Hmmmmmmm.. internet has ruined me
Something about Mark is so awkward it makes people say "I have to go" when they're sitting in a studio waiting to talk to him.
"That was totally him" 😂
Lmao 😂
"I don't know if you'd really call it closure...."
Honestly if a medium actually did this, I'd actually give thought on saying it's fake right away. Literally no one has the courage to do something so insignificant -- they look for dead parents and missing children, not your second cousin's great aunt who passed away on the toilet. This is incredible.
“I want to believe.”-Fox Mulder
Isn't the second cousin's great aunt your grandma, lol?
@@daniileliseev9362 doesn't have to be could be from the other side of the cousin's family
Wasn't Jack Slater IV the movie were Jack goes on a murderous rampage because the Torelli Mafia killed his cousin?
I guess this makes sense too
Also the fact that he mentions specific names and relationships indicates that he’s not using cold reading
The Onion did most of it’s work during some of the hardest times of the 08 recession and beyond, God Bless you people
The Babylon Bee has picked up the slack. The Onion is just a shell of what it once was. I still go back and rewatch the Autistic Reporter clips. Pure Gold
Bread and circus would be great if it was as good as peak Onion
The Onion was 1000x funnier than anything SNL and even Madtv produced. Their creativity was inexhaustible.
was? they're still at it, every week lol
@@joeking5679 they dont male videos anymore though i miss the old onion
They're mixing peyote with centrum and they're bloody brilliant
Sorry can't top mad tv . Wrong there
They were not afraid to make good jokes, snl and modern shows or comedy movies for that matter like being safe and monetizable.
I just love how the hosts are always so enthusiastic. if I didn't know it was satire I would totally believe it was real. The acting is top tier and the themes seem as relevant as ever.
Even in the parenting one, when they’re telling the expert to go fuck themselves. 😭
@@Catalina-WinemixerOh right, I gotta rewatch that rn, it's one of my favorites! 😂
The way they mimicked small talk is insanely accurate!
He did know that one guy was in finance. 😅 This dude is canonically psychic in the Onion universe.
Quizoid Z that’s the point
@@dessindenfer1253 w/whoosh
And he knew one of them was named Phil!
He could have gotten the details from before the interview
it's called scamming
"...And we talked about how hard it is having a cat."
Ain't that the truth.
that was perfect!
This is actually believable compared to all the other psychic nonsense.
We must be watching something different 😊
We must be watching something different 😊
@Sunnypsyop a big fat phony.
I can vouch that there are legitimate psychics. This stuff is very real.
But of course there are frauds out there in any profession
@@Colt8722 Sure.
These actors who appear in the onion stories should win every award. They are incredible
The acting is so good that I’m embarrassed on behalf of the awkward conversation with Mark.
“So.”
“Yeah.”
“I have to go.”
“Okay.”
“That was totally him”
What a fraud. The detective has to sit for an hour in silence
:D Love that comeback
hahaha!
You know this is a fakeshow the onion
@@braddocke.hutton7392 No, this was a real segment. Only some of it is fake
@@VatsugC Wrong. The Onion is 100% real, only the people that watch it are fake.
"Quinn also able to channel barks and meows of deceased pets" - brilliant! And my late cat Mitzi agrees.
L😸L
2:12 "That was totally him." Omfg lol
Holy shit.... I was literally on the phone with him in mind at that moment and could hear everything he was saying. ..... very powerful
"You've written that you're able to connect people with the spirits of roommates they didn't really know that well."
"Relax, and breathe slowly, and think about people you barely know who've passed on."
It's funny that they start off by announcing an upcoming segment about choosing your career based on your attractiveness, and then the psychic looks exactly like a psychic should look.
He is real, thats the best part. "Still working in finance" is a way too specific for a blind jab.
Still more legit than actual psychic readings.
You know when you have to small-talk in an elevator....yeah, that feeling.
I really don't understand the expectation that we always need to be conversing. If we're in an elevator and I really don't know you, I'd rather just ride in silence than be forced into making tedious small talk neither of us wants. At least sharing silence would be honest
Natural acting, these guys are all freaking good and give onion the same constant essence. Love this channel.
OMG!
I've had that same conversation with Mark many times.
So sad to hear he died
"non-abusive circus plagued by disobedient animals" lmao
..."ss..err..do you know.."
"She's gone."
That was totally him. Cracking me up.
This is gold... we need the old onion back
The Onion produced so much gold.
The Mark one lmaoo
2:52 Is that why I'm so thin? I never realized how my eczema was such a helpful tool to maintaining my figure.
The Onion is the peak of comedy. Absolutely brilliant comedy.
That's nothing, I'd like to see him contact my *living* father!
- none of his family can... 😐
How do you know hes living then?
@@fgdbbddhhdhdj1591 because there's still cigarettes to buy.
That's all the proof I needed.
"That was totally him"
I'm dying
These sets that onion has with their productions are so convincing. You would think it’s an actual show.
You can just tell that Mark was trying to avoid talking about his awkward sex life when he dated the lady's best friend in college.
He's legit, guys. He has the Freud beard.
I like how awkward the conversations with the dead were.
More believable than a "real" psychic "talking" to your dead parent.
This is now officially my favorite skit
This gave me the chills!
Since this is pretty much every conversation I've ever had with anyone, I figure I could do this for weeks with this guy.
I love this type of humor
This is one of the top best ones
This guy is channeling everyone I’ve tried talking to on Tinder
The actors who play Jim & Tracy are perfectly cast.
The essence of cold reading
“That was totally him”
“Obama awkwardly laughs, agrees with cab driver that he should paint the White House black”
This is the first vid in a while that genuinely has me laughing so much at the title I didn't need to watch it :)
Very powerful gift to have connected to those in the next realm.
Jim and Tracy are the best thing from the onion
His eyeliner is on almost as on point as his psychic skills.
Tracy Gill's facial expressions are amazing.
I miss today now : (
Did you get over it?
Canos probably not but now we at least have the podcast
@@missiontobeaman3111 which podcast?
Tanmay Sahoo it’s called the topical you can find it on RUclips
Thanks
LONG LIVE THE ONION!!!
The Onion was way ahead of its time!
Not really, this kind of humor is been around since the 90's.
About 20 odd years behind Brass Eye, but ok.
Bring this back! Please!
“That was totally him. I can’t believe it”
"The remembered man does not decay" - Kier Eagan
This is I think some of the best acting I’ve ever seen on a skit on RUclips...hilarious!! 😆😆
It's like, I know what ramparts are, I just never believe that I do
God this is such gold
Your keen observational talents have no limits.
The actor who plays the psychic in this has been cast as Kier Eagan in Severance. Will be weird to see the parralels.
I just love the chemistry of the hosts!
I love this channel so much
You can't write better than this. The bar does not go higher.
The news headlines scrolling underneath the video are hilarious!!
The writing for this show is perfection
Awesome! My favorite channel!
I remember that episode of South Park about the medium where stan says that even though we miss our loved ones it would be a sad existence for them to just float around the beyond desperately trying to send us messages. I like this afterlife a lot more, where dead people are going about their business but occasionally spot us and say “oh hey, is that Steve? Hey Steve how’s your wife doing? Oh that’s great. Well I gotta go now bye.”
"That was totally him."
XD
Chilling.
YOU ... the one reading this comment, your 2nd grade teacher's wife's dog wants to say something
Dog: "Woof"
he's gone.
How can I stop crying while watching these videos?
God these actors deserve to be so famous
Why did they stop making videos? They were flawless.
Onion Actors were the best
The hosts are just great.
I spend so much money on nuvarings, I really hope they show the next segment!
Such great actors
"Hey." "Hey Mark." "So...." "Yeah!"
Lol this reminds me of the clip from South Park where Stan tries to debunk the medium by showing the audience how all his tricks work and the whole audience thought Stan was a real medium talking to the dead.
🤓
"Non-abusive circus plagued by disobedient animals" 😂
Extremely professional actors.
All of em.
This shiznit is The Onion I became a stan for & I'm here for it, every insane, depraved episode regardless of what it is for there's countless different levels of insanity & it's comedy gold. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
