Young Linguine and the great taste of 7up ten. great taste, only 10 calories. get both!
YouAreNotCool
Well that’s one theory.
@@Account.for.Comment i think you mixed up the words the best with the word disgusting
@@charged5164 the best girl is the one the that punch her and threaten to tell her father of her boyfriend.
Well...mood
The way that the actual sponsor merges with satire is messing my brain up, it's like two universes phasing past each other
Postmodern philosophers would call this a prime example of recuperation. Normally the union is hilarious, I had a hard time laughing at this one. It was just sad.
Michael Jensen idk what you’re talking about, i laughed
Sounds like you got both!
No it’s because you get both ~ sponsored by 7-up 10 “get both™️”
HYPER-REALITY.
"I miss your mother too but we're gonna have to do the best without her"
That kinda put a tear in my eye.
so sad
The way his face changed as she said that was disturbingly genuine.
He's probably 8 years older than he was 7 years ago
Hi guys :)
The funniest thing about these episodes is that 7 up 10 is real
And is likely sponsoring this
If you're going to do it, might as well satire that, too. Beautifully done.
It's shite! It has all the effects of advertising but they get to retain their satire cred. Satire gives them plausible deniability since it looks naff, but it's still paid promotion for a sugary drink
I got both
@@Butlinsgvn6 I guess you could say The Onion "Got both".
@@Butlinsgvn6 hardly a sugary drink if it has ten calories
"Performance features thermostat on stage that nobody touches the entire time" LOL
And the number where the girls circle around turning off all the lights because no one's using them.
That was my favorite part of the performance
gnshapiro oh geez was that universal
@@KingoftheJuice18 the way you kids waste electricity you'd think it just comes out of the walls or something
I'm fine with that, as long as they use all the guns on the wall.
why couldn't they make it 7 calories?
one word man Too much work and it would require too many expensive chemicals to accomplish.
@@AudioGardenSlave123 no just different ratios
they round to the nearest 10. it might in fact be 7.
@@tohopes That's hilarious
Because that might cause a singularity
"I miss your mother too but we are going to have to do our best without her"
OH MY GOD
Gooo Redskins!
The girl is actually a really great actress. I hope she goes far
Have you seen the kid that killed a burglar
I hope her dad notices her
@@indianathe3rd742 Yes, he was increadible
Actress?
"Yeah, whatever man."
- Her dad, probably.
"Its you whos gonna die! Brad from work" the writting is so good here.
Wow, this is so fake, how could anyone believe that 7up put all that great taste into just 10 calories.
well did you get both?
Right! I mean it's such a small amount of calories and such a huge amount of flavor, there has _got_ to be some funny business going on here!
Gave this 666 likes
I'm an industry professional, and In my opinion, there's no way they would be able to get ALL that flavor in JUST 10 calories. I calculate that they would need at least 22 calories for the flavor/calorie quota to even make sense
The Onion sure does come up with some crazy stuff!
"im inspired by the theme of my dad paying any attention to me at all"
that is actually sad :(
Sad?? Huh. Never thought of it that way.
I love the detail of when she says I hope you like this the dad is looking at his phone
7dude How cute that you think that’s a Western thing.
@7dude What, are western people the only ones with parents?
@@kingchicken8232 Western tv has fake, caring dads. Kids are set up for disappointment
I'm waiting for her sequel, "Can't anyone in this house shut the door behind them or turn off the light when they leave the room?" A dad favorite everywhere!
Welp, I guess I’m a dad even tho I’m a 15 year old girl
@@theweirdonextdoor9597 good luck!
I chime in with a haven you people ever heard of closing a god damn door no?
"Were you raised in a barn?! We're not paying to heat the outdoors!"

Dad's what?

@Arid wonder if he'll actually respond to this
hey are you still alive? i miss those years....sigh

We need an update
Gonna go work on the basement.

This news reporter is mad cool, I hope he stays a human, and continues to report news without any risk of a pigsformation.
I have bad news for you.
I want a 7-Up 10. Great taste. Only 10 calories. Get both.
wait
Second comment. Now your 7 year old post has both.
@@NJ-wb1cz i ruin it now
NINE YEARS AHHHHH
This is embarrassing... The bowl of fruit is a shameless product placement for Sunkist fruits, and it is just sitting center-stage on the table. So tired of seeing this type of "plugging" everywhere - Its like they don't even try to hide it!
hey reply if you're alive, it’s been 7 years lol
Big fruit strikes again.
@Edward Garcia wat
@@DraconicCitadel he said It’s been 26 years since I’ve seen your father.
@@DraconicCitadel It's been 7 years and only 10 calories. Get both!
I love the way he's constantly looking at his phone
I have to admit that I was looking at my phone the entire time, too.
“I miss your mother too....” such a talented girl. I don’t know where she gets it! 😂
This hits really hard at home. Jesus
you are a dancer?
if by "hits really hard" you're referring to your intestinal tract and by "home" you mean the toilet, then I'd suggest cutting down the 7up 10 to fewer than 50 cans an hour.
@@bobmcbobbington9220 that's barely any drinking, how am i gonna live without my 200 cans an hour?!
Daddy Meme Master
Sorry. I know that that can hurt quite a bit. Sometimes writing a letter of all the things you’d like to say to that parent helps. You could even maybe give it to them one day.
just like my dad
What an adorable little girl, and a great actress to boot! Precociously good delivery of her lines, striking just the right tone (desperate, dejected) with just the right timing. I hope she goes far!
The only reliable news source around.
“Then there was 20 minutes of peace & quiet, cause I know that’s important to him”
*nods head in sincere agreement*
If I have daughter, ill ignore her like this honorable man. Like a true man
Here here!
I know it's all fun and giggles but I legitimately felt bad for how hard the girl was trying to get her dad's attention XD
“I’m really inspired by the theme of my dad paying any attention to me at all.”
omg i feel so bad for this (satirical) ballet girl
“Up next: eating pine cones is crazy, and one man with schizophrenia is proving that right!”
Holy shit, The Onion is hilarious lol.
Erin's favorite dance number is "maybe when I'm older dad won't ignore me" LMAOOOOO
The onion is funny, I appreciate good satire, the world is a screwed up place, humor is a priceless tool for when you've taken in so much of the harshness around you.
so true man. anyway how are you now, it’s been 7 years. those were the golden times.
@@dumbratbtch953 So true man. Anyway, how are you now? Its been 4 months, those were... something somethin
@@fishyfish1917 I guess we'll never get those moments back... Anyway How are you been 5 days or so.
@@lawmsiamahlawndo4651 So true man. Anyway, how are you now? Its been a week. Time sure goes by fast ...
hey there it's been over two months, are you guys still alive?
It's amazing how this child is much more well-spoken than adults, lol
It's like the dad doesn't even care that 7up 10 has such an amazing flavor but is only 10 calories.
20 minutes of peace and quiet..ROFL
1:11"Brad from work"....😂😂😂😭😂😂 I hope he isn't watching.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were thousands of bloopers of the actors completely losing it on set because of how ridiculously hilarious the dialogue is.
That is one of the funniest and saddest thing at the same time
I love how depressed the dad sounds when he says my daughter helped me get both
This is hilarious but also sad. I find it strange that there are so many parents, not just dads that seem to be uninterested in their kids.
This feels so real like there are so many dad's like that i can fully believe it
are there?
This is the only advertisement I'm okay with... C:
I love that jim is back ..... i was really worried that he would remain a pig forever. Thank you onion for saving him.
Turns out that it just took a few months for his human cells to overtake the pig cells and he metamorphosed back to the good ol’ Jim we all know and love! I’m presuming that that’s what happened.
This is a "7up ten" commercial isn't it
Aww how sweet! Makes me wish I had a daughter. I'd probably just ignore her and forget she exists though.
This is definitely fake. They actually expect us to think that someone would root for the Redskins smh.
I used to a long time ago...until I realized I don't even like football...it was to appease my self esteem killers.
ah ah ah! That's racist.
You mean the Washington Football Team.
@@colorsmith5569 hehe
KingChicken I mean it is
I'm jealous of her, trust me I could climb Mount everest with my arms and legs bound behind my back and neither my step-dad or actual dad would give a shit or even care
Every time I read an "is this real," or "this is fake" comment, I lose more faith in humanity.
I was actually gonna ask "this is fake right?" But I just read your comment, sooooooo...😆
Is the 7up Ten real though ?
webbs: Yup. This is basically a commercial with a skit built around it.
I’d say the same if I had any to begin with
Is this comment real
"I don't know where she gets it."
Anyone else willing to admit they are old enough to remember when “The Onion” was only available via print media?
If you look closely into the dads eyes at 2:27, you can almost read the lyrics to Cat’s in the Cradle by Harry Chapin
“Performance Features Thermostat On Stage That Nobody Touches The Entire Time.” Lol
the way he looks at his phone the whole time
The most beautiful ballet I never saw
"...gonna go work on the basement"
Ahaha, adorable.
I really hope she makes. 'You're dead to me dad, I'm running away with my older biker lover'.
How do they come up with this shit, this is too real. I'm starting to question some of onions employees private lives.
What an awesome BALLET!!!
it's a new subgenre. Haha
Would love to see what the ballerina actor is up to now! She absolutely nailed this bit
The fact that I'm watching a guy too busy to spend time with his daughter, on MY phone, is ironically funny and painful to watch.
@Roy G Biv you have quite the eye for talent, genius
@Roy G Biv I'll do both...what other clever quips do you have?
This is by far the most adorable and less traumatizing video they've ever done
I found some (not all!) of the more recent Onion content not as comical as the older videos. But the Today Now show seems to be as brilliant as always!
"Oh I know that story too well"
I think Jim Hagerty is my favorite character of all time( pre and post- porking across America)
Porking Across America was one hell of a ride for old Jim.
I`m looking foward to the "Ask your mother" ballet.
There were twenty minutes of peace and quiet, because I knew that was very important
She is such a cute kid and I loved her dead delivery. That is an onion standard after all.
This is one of my favorite Onion episodes, it's so high quality and seems like a real tv show.
I could really go for some 7Up Ten right now
This is too real. It's a bit, but the dad staring at his phone while his kid was talking aggravates me
Notice Dad is on his smartphone the whole time. Great Parody!! Thanks for posting.
I'd love to have her as my daughter :(
The “i dont know where she gets it” that comes automatically twice while hes looking at the phone😭 ouch
Now I'm going to go work on the basement
1:35 this one I actually hit a little bit too close to home💀💀
It is nearly impossible to up the level of mindlessness of the morning shows, but the Onion has done it again!!!!!!!!!!
"Go washington football team!"
Advertisement keeps the Onion's content free. Why do people not understand that this stuff has to be paid for?
I knew some grown men from a church I _used_ to attend that really enjoyed kids gymnastics.
😆 This girl is so cute.. what a great job she did.
If I was that dad I would be equally proud and devastated.
That's the point. She's sacrificing her artistic integrity for her father's attention.
I will never tire of stating how beautiful Tracy Gil is. Lord in heaven what a gorgeous woman.
"performance features thermostat on stage that no one touches the whole time" LOL
Lined with sadness, but so funny
The little girl's ballet show is fucking too funny. This is one of my favourite Onion skits so far lol
Jim and Tracey are the tops
How dare they bring up my pinecone eating habit?!?!
Pinecones? You MUST be crazy. Everyone knows unchewed coconut husks are your best source of fibre!
I love the intro! It's so satirical but at the same time so real it's amazing
Men be good father's to your daughters. They get their standards from you.
Mothers also set standards too. Just because you're a man doesn't mean everything only comes from fathers.
@@narata1541 no. Mother's set an example. They uphold the standard. The man always sets the standard.
Father's what?
@@AJ-ox8xy oh i see, you're a sexist wacko. i didn't want to assume just based on having a cross in your picture but it's definitely a red flag
@@smitty1647 You have no idea what I'm saying.
“A man with schizophrenia is proving that eating pine cones is crazy”
I keep seeing Jim on the screen in the elevator, in an ad for MeTV (old television show channel in Chicago), nearly every morning this month. It brings a smile to my face, even though I have no idea what show his clip is from :)
The best part is how someone under water was holding a can
Great satire has it's roots in reality.
She mentioned Jason Bourne so it's a 10 regardless of anything else
wow Jim is back!!! yay!
I can't watch these the same way anymore. I can't see Jim the same anymore.
Why?!
Just joining the question: why?
Vishal Mohan I cant answer for Sky bound zoo, but I recently watched the Porkin Across America series and it’s very dark with the character Jim from this series and that’s what I’m thinking of when I watch this
@@FrogLehane It's probably a "Porking Across America" reference. It's another Onion series featuring Jim Haggerty except it is much, much darker in tone and Jim's character suffers a lot.
This maybe the funniest Onion video I've ever seen. Everyone is talking about the bit with the ballerina, but I thought the last joke was the funniest. When they brought out the sign and made him read it I died laughing.
"You're legally required to say that." lol
“Up next, eating pinecones is crazy, and one man with schizophrenia is proving that right!”
Holy shit, lmfao
when i was 9 i had to do ballet. absolutely fucking loathed it. my pleas to my parents to let me quit were fruitless & they continued to make me go. final straw came when there was a grand performance being put on for about two hundred of the school's families & friends. i broke away from everyone, walked into the middle of the theatre, pulled my pants down & let it hang. never had to do ballet again.
