Goal is ad revenue. They get more from their own site, and since it's at a more relevant date, it's linked to more than the RUclips video will be. RUclips vid is for subscribers, archivers, &c mostly.
My assumption is that people post the quote to say "This is my favorite line from your skit, whoever wrote that is a comedic genius and should get a pay raise." Then other people "like" that post in agreement. When that post gets a critical number of "likes" they sack all the other writers and give that one his own gold plated hooker.

The Onion has always been a free site. There's no subscription. I don't even recall if they ever charged for their print version before they went online.

Came to see if I was alone..
I mean I share all the things I like, at this point they’re just clouds for content I can’t find elsewhere, instead of for sharing lol
I don't appreciate that the Onion understands and predicts my behavior
I want to share this video on my FB but then that would make me part of the problem :/
The irony that The Onion is part of the problem.

weird how things became relevant 8 years later.
also, Obama had embraced le Monke before it was cool.
It's just as relevant as it was 8 years ago

hi chkthdeats, have you become a flat earther yet?
there's no year like 2016
"Florida seniors afraid to approach polling station due to teenager skateboarding out front."
LMFAOOOOOO
''Just read your own posts over and over again like you do anyway'' i felt personally called out.
I was just thinking I saw this too late...then I realized i saw it at exactly the right time.
Wide-eyed, quiet terror 52%
Feigned optimism 48%
holy crap did the onion post a real news story for once
Huh? What makes their other stories any less real than this one?
....once?
You have no fucking idea man
Is the Regan zombie one real?
@@entitiessoul i mean it could be argued for. A Reagan zombie would likely resemble Reagan, albeit with much of the brain decayed away.
Every four years, like clockwork, this video pops up
SHOCKING that this isn't their most popular video. An absolute comedic masterpiece.
I remember I went on Facebook after the 2016 election and everyone had lost it
The tumour became a septic tank
Simple: Don't have a Facebook.
*surprised Pikachu face*
@@RokeJulianLockhart.s4eb2q The dude was ahead of his time.
I think the video was pretty explicit that just avoiding Facebook isn't enough/
My phone came installed with it from the factory...
About that...
2:00 i felt personally attacked by that
Satire of yesterday, reality of today
1:30 the level of comedic genius in this segment is impressive
I swear I have seen that Obama comment on RUclips before.
This is absolute perfection. The onion never disappoints
The onion's writing is so damn good!
1:26 Biden definitely "Gettin' it wet tonight"
Like fine wine...
🤪
I love onn, always keeping me up to date with the news
I hope the US can swap to a system that doesn’t favor two parties, like approval voting
A nonpartisan system where candidates are voted without any actual listed parties and any outside funding is anonymously routed through a federally anonymous bank that is checked by agents for any suspicious donations
As relevant now as ever. Touché.
The longer the onion exists the less of a joke it becomes
None of my friends are over 18 but my facebook was still flooded with shit on election day. Not one of them can vote...
Mistake Number 1: Using facebook.
I used to joke about The Onion predicting the future but their accuracy about 2020 is starting to frighten me.
Based on this video? And just 2020? It's been like this for decades now.
Maybe you're simply too young to remember, that would be my bad then.

This has aged immaculately. Surprised this one isn't more popular.
ANSWER:
DONT HAVE A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.
THERE, I FIXED IT.
It was for dumbasses having a FB acc
This was the golden era of the onion. Wish for this back
hi williamtaylor, have you become a flat earther yet?
Wow 2020 was a verbatim of this comical clip on onion👍
I have a tip that is completely failproof...
Just don't use facebook
yes
BTW rphb, have you become a flat earther yet?
This is one of the best Onion videos in awhile. So true.
i deleted a significant portion of my friendlist on election day.
That kids is now 11 😳
The first F word hit hard.
The worst posts I found on facebook were the ridiculously too long, didn't read posts that were angry against elections.

best onion video in a while
Why is this still kind of relevant
Because elections and facebook still happen
I like how there was a joke, and then another joke. Now give me the thousands of upvotes.
hi hieverybody, have you become a flat earther yet?
>girl who friended you while you were talking
>foreign guy you met through study abroad
holy shit its like they can read my mind
This is the only Onion video I've seen with swearing in it. I'm not complaining.
ruclips.net/video/8AyVh1_vWYQ/видео.html
I wish they uploaded this on November 5th
still using it today
They're actually getting a headstart on the 2016 election.
I capitalize certain WORDS that don't necessarily REQUIRE emphasis at ALL.
they need to parody those lumosity ads.
Yeah it's just the lag from the onion site to youtube that is the culprit, I guess that is to expected they prioritize their own site. :)
How did they know that I re-read my own posts over and over again!?
Because they are watching you.
I got off of Facebook years ago.
Thanks i was wondering if you did months ago or years ago
This advice should be taken year round
Now, people are urging everyone to go out and vote...
Oh 2020
Norm Weiner has to be the best name ever.
Step One: Throw computer out window.
Step Two: Oh... wait there is no more..
This video is the opposite of outdated.
Goal is ad revenue. They get more from their own site, and since it's at a more relevant date, it's linked to more than the RUclips video will be. RUclips vid is for subscribers, archivers, &c mostly.
This but starting a year and half earlier now
Better late than never. I love, love, love the Onion.
Thanks for posting this stuff even though they're not relevant now. Stuff is funny yo.
it was, their youtube is just some weeks behind on their website
The Onion has the BEST comedic actors.
My assumption is that people post the quote to say "This is my favorite line from your skit, whoever wrote that is a comedic genius and should get a pay raise." Then other people "like" that post in agreement.
When that post gets a critical number of "likes" they sack all the other writers and give that one his own gold plated hooker.
Replace all mentions of Facebook with Twitter.
Well, it’s both
they were... on the onion website.
this aged well
Election is over, but I still read my own posts over and over. It really is better this way.
well this has aged quite nicely
Hahahaha!! We are at the end of 2022 right now, and everyone is still arguing over this same shit from 13yrs ago!😂😂😂

It WAS posted around the time... on the Onion website. Then they post it to RUclips a week or two later.
I wish real news shows were like this.
I love you, onion
It has the benefint of making video dialogs search-able from google so even though i don't know about upvoting having any point, it is kind of useful
Wait a second. This is the onion?
Or do like I did and delete Facebook from your phone and PC. It’s F cancer on our country.
This video is beautiful. I wish I had seen this during the election.
There's always the next election...
I wrote this comment to maintain how highly informed about everything there is to know about everything important.
This video applies to the entire month of November
They did, but on the official The Onion site.
Great timing Onion.
More traffic on their website. They think it's a good idea, but it's not.
This is therapy
you just have to smirk about this satisfying kind of condescending deadpan humour.
Oh..... that explains so much actually!
Thanks ;)
Its funny because this is just a normal if slightly extreme news article from today now.
Biden Definitely "Gettin' it wet tonight"
The Onion has always been a free site. There's no subscription. I don't even recall if they ever charged for their print version before they went online.
I'm assuming so as to not undermine their paying subscribers?
Just delete these terrible social media platforms.
That Red Lobster comment was too damn accurate
another true piece
this shit never gets old.
I get more facts from onion than any news network. Does that make sense?
Onion is not a youtube service, they have their own (paying) website... this is old stuff, thus free and here
