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
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.
Well, I would call it discipline, not abuse, and the circus animals will thank the ringmasters later when they're all grown up. Also, this hurts them more than it hurts the animals.
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.
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.
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
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.
"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.
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
One of the most stronger points of the Onion is the cast they almost never feel like comedians, here are not a JIm Carrey or Jamie Foxx acting all over the top, they play theyr role completely normal and serious wich make the script even better The only other show i can think of with similar good casting is the Chapelle show all actor feel like real people
"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... 😂
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?"

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.
"My best friend was sleeping with this guy".. "That was totally him" LOLOL!!!
Her delivery was literally perfect
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.
@@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.
@@Pagalchhagal Feels like this comment ages pretty poorly
Bahahahahsh! "I have to go" "Me too" OMG THAT WAS DEFINITELY HIM!
Chill the fuck out
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.

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.

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
Carl says that he'll play golf with Phil later..
RIP Phil.

Maybe he's just saying "I will be with you and I will guide your balls to the holes."

Bread and circus would be great if it was as good as peak Onion
"I don't know if you'd really call it closure...."
"That was totally him" 😂
Lmao 😂
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.
The way they mimicked small talk is insanely accurate!
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! 😂
This is actually believable compared to all the other psychic nonsense.

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
"...And we talked about how hard it is having a cat."
Ain't that the truth.
that was perfect!
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
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.
"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."
"Quinn also able to channel barks and meows of deceased pets" - brilliant! And my late cat Mitzi agrees.
L😸L
Holy shit.... I was literally on the phone with him in mind at that moment and could hear everything he was saying. ..... very powerful
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.
Still more legit than actual psychic readings.
"non-abusive circus plagued by disobedient animals" lmao
He is real, thats the best part. "Still working in finance" is a way too specific for a blind jab.
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.
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.
2:52 Is that why I'm so thin? I never realized how my eczema was such a helpful tool to maintaining my figure.
This is gold... we need the old onion back
2:12 "That was totally him." Omfg lol
The Onion produced so much gold.
That was totally him. Cracking me up.
More believable than a "real" psychic "talking" to your dead parent.
That's all the proof I needed.
The actors who play Jim & Tracy are perfectly cast.
OMG!
I've had that same conversation with Mark many times.
So sad to hear he died
The Onion is the peak of comedy. Absolutely brilliant comedy.
“That was totally him”
These sets that onion has with their productions are so convincing. You would think it’s an actual show.
“Obama awkwardly laughs, agrees with cab driver that he should paint the White House black”
This guy is channeling everyone I’ve tried talking to on Tinder
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 was totally him. I can’t believe it”
I like how awkward the conversations with the dead were.
..."ss..err..do you know.."
"She's gone."
This is now officially my favorite skit
The essence of cold reading
"That was totally him"
I'm dying
He's legit, guys. He has the Freud beard.
Since this is pretty much every conversation I've ever had with anyone, I figure I could do this for weeks with this guy.
Non-abusive circus plagued by disobedient animals
His eyeliner is on almost as on point as his psychic skills.
"Non-abusive circus plagued by disobedient animals" 😂
Jim and Tracy are the best thing from the onion
You can't write better than this. The bar does not go higher.
Very powerful gift to have connected to those in the next realm.
This gave me the chills!
Tracy Gill's facial expressions are amazing.
This is one of the top best ones
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!

The Mark one lmaoo
The writing for this show is perfection
‘A young male dies’
That one woman: Oh My God! That must be Mark!
"My cousin's, friend's, wife's funeral"
It's like, I know what ramparts are, I just never believe that I do
LONG LIVE THE ONION!!!
How can I stop crying while watching these videos?
Should dead acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind...
I just love the chemistry of the hosts!
Why did they stop making videos? They were flawless.
Ironically (probably intentionally) this psychic is far more insightful and accurate then any other psychic i have seen perform.
WHERE ON EARTH DO THEY FIND THESE ACTORS AHHHHHH
Extremely professional actors.
All of em.
This is actually how psychics and people who believe in psychics actually look to us non believers. 🤣
This is I think some of the best acting I’ve ever seen on a skit on UA-cam...hilarious!! 😆😆
God these actors deserve to be so famous
Your keen observational talents have no limits.
The only spirits he's been in contact with are jack Daniels and Jim beam
P Narse It's like the names of Depeche Mode Dave Gahans children. Jack, Jim, and Stella Rosé.
amazing. truly. he has a gift

They play these characters so grounded that makes even funnier, I fucking love The Onion
