Well, officially the "Onion" did indeed start printing in late 1896. However what is largely unknown is that Benjamin Franklin, and Fellow philanderer Paul Revere began the "Carrot" as a bawdy way to advertise their sexual exploits under the guise of fiction. They began operation in 1782 In 1864 it became more of a satirical publication, particularly in the political realm and took on the moniker, "The Layered Rutebegga". It's prophetic cover story bore the headline; "I Don't Want to go to the Theater Tonight. I Have a Splitting Headache." Of course, in 1896. It became the "Onion" as we know and love it today.

The way she says Best Buy has stuck with me for over a decade. I watched these obsessively as a little kid and all these years later it is still so funny. Comedy is dead, I miss this stuff. (Also the Topical was pretty good you should bring it back)
this is the second dream-related onion sketch i've seen, and again they get it completely right. the other one included the line "but then robin williams is going to take you to the attic, and there's millions of doors up there"

My favorite video on The Onion's channel is the one where they have trouble understanding the crisis in Africa, but my favorite line delivery in the channel is when Nancy yells "Get those motherfucking spiders off of me!". It's just so funny.
I like how Gregory's dream of 'dismembered limbs' could trace back to the episode where he's asking about hypothetical manslaughter situations.
hybby and him asking about a hacksaw at the end of that episode...
It's probably his conscience getting to him in his dream through his subconsciousness.
hybby The dream was also about his car....
LITERALLY the video I just watched before this one!
...coincidence? Hacksaw mentioned again here...
My name's is Gregory and I just shat myself for a second there
Who else wants to watch every episode just to catch all the different excuses they have for Clifford Banes' absence?
Clifford Bains was there once (although I can't find the exact video).
"I'm Clifford Bains, wearing a perfect latex Julianna McKannis mask"
Bakgethi Remote is that all of them? I need more Clifford banes! or none at all really lol

Every episode of the Onion is just part of Nancy's nightmare
Just a theory a game theory.

Plot twist
This makes so much sense
Nancy is becoming my favorite. Her frequent outbursts are so good.
I found that once I bought the dead baby, they stopped haunting my dreams.
I think you have bigger problems than bad dreams now buddy

Dude, I'm not even joking, I just watched this video and read your comment right before I went to sleep and I dreamed of a dead baby! Wtf
@@CleoPiano Actually it cost 55.50 which is a very competitive rate
@@roonaldo_1002 55.50 dollars or souls?

Well hallucinations do happen when your sleep deprived.

Brilliant! I too observed those signs, but after reading this comment I realised that I missed quite a few!
Wow, that's some cool detail right there. The fact you could watch the whole thing multiple times and still miss those is a nice touch
You can even see Nancy yawning at 0:56 foreshadowing what is to come
The tiny details are so accurate for when you’re almost dead on your feet and your brain messes up just subtly enough that you dont notice it at first

How can you sleep when you're covered in spiders???
At that point I would probably pass out due to fear.
"blood drenched best buy employees trying to sell you a dead baby"
Best part
I laughed out loud
Nancy is so goddamn funny! xD
Shes the best lmao
at 1:47 the people start having different professions and Duncan is literally called "devil"

"Since 1896?" I didn't realize Onion News was that old.
The most trusted source in news
If I’m not mistaken they said in a video they blew up the Uss Maine or something back in ‘96
Well, officially the "Onion" did indeed start printing in late 1896.
However what is largely unknown is that Benjamin Franklin, and Fellow philanderer Paul Revere began the "Carrot" as a bawdy way to advertise their sexual exploits under the guise of fiction. They began operation in 1782
In 1864 it became more of a satirical publication, particularly in the political realm and took on the moniker, "The Layered Rutebegga".
It's prophetic cover story bore the headline;
"I Don't Want to go to the Theater Tonight. I Have a Splitting Headache."
Of course, in 1896. It became the "Onion" as we know and love it today.
Back in the days of steam television.

"When was the last time you actually slept?"

I've seen this 5 times and I keep noticing new funny details. Nancy is perfect here. Onion used to be the Apex of comedy.
I've watched this several times and I've never noticed the change in titles that the dream monsters get.
my dreams used to be really violent and gory, but after this video was published in 2009 the violence rate steadily dropped down.

Had to watch it over. Good catch 😂

The fact that everybody’s name and title changed except Nancy’s is the kind of detail that makes this channel truly great.
“But I don’t want a dead baby”
“Then why’d you come to Best Buy?”
Nancy’s the best
"Uh.. i dont think i have any money.."
"PAAAHHH"

I've watched this video so many times, but I didn't notice it till now. Everyone, start reading the lower 3rds at 1:46 .
This is one of my favorite episodes.
Duncan's one of my favorites. "There is no love in the world. Only pain."
"FLITHY!" "Yes..." "THOSE SHEEPDOGS ARE FILTHY!"
I love how their titles change when we enter Nancy's dream, you can roughly pinpoint when she fell asleep
That was absolutely terrifying.
"But I don't need a dead baby"
"A blood drenched Best Buy employee tryin' to sell you a dead baby."
"It's what you came here for. Now, don't you see one you like?"
Clifford Banes really needs to start doing his job
14 years later this is still golden
This was so well done
This felt like a fever dream
I just randomly remembered watching this yearsssss ago (mainly the spiders part) and decided to find it and I’m crying laughing. Still hilarious!!
Lol they got me in the beginning already with that "Since 1896" intro.
This is the most informative and relevant news content in media today..
Kudos Onion for skillfully combining comedy with pure pants-sh*tting terror.
The Onion is such an in-depth news source it allowed us to see into Nancy’s dream!
this is so genius. OMG. i'm in awe of the awesomeness of this vid. it's very original.
this was the most chaotic skit in the best way.
Watching this at 12:30 am in bed drifting off and ngl it terrified me and now I bet my dreams will be violent. Thanks onion
this perfectly translates to to people thinking video games cause violence nowdays
And a lot of other things psychiatrists run around saying.
Brilliant show
The genius behind this show is unmatched. Writing this in April ‘24

Surreal and funny. I really liked this, and on a lot of levels.
hilarious, and the underlying message is good
These Onion clips really were something amazing. Right people right time I guess, but goddamn these continue to make me laugh thirteen years later.
I needed this. And that scares me.
What’s brilliant is that even before the crazy visuals pop up, the names and title cards of the anchors start changing. Lol so good
In case anyone didn't get the satire - it's a take on the fuss over media violence.
i always thought these were funny but “get those motherfucking spiders off of me” made me laugh out loud
“That Sheep Dog is filthy!” * look of concern 😂😂😂😂 I cant rn 1:16 1:40
