The utter disgust on the female hosts face is absolutely perfect
That cause she's just a "hAtEr"
Shes really up in here looking like my mom whenever i speak
Pesky Pickle Did you just assume her gender-?
@Bosingr that’s Tracy Toth, a very attractive renaissance woman. Sometime actress/model, and farmer. A pilot too, she flies jets for FedEx Express these days.
For real. That's more personality in one glance than some characters get in an entire show (looking at you Rey🧐)
If they had released that Booty Wave "music video" on a VEVO channel, no one would have realized it's comedy. I guarantee it.
Let's do that

"Booty Wave is a powerful anthem of female emancipation" - Critics
This was actually said about WAP
@Martin Luther just like how you’re emancipated from having any bitches. Enjoy your “societal respect” while it lasts, tides are quickly turning. I respect a girl who likes sex way more than a virgin incel internet dweeb and that’s pretty quickly becoming the dominant opinion in society.
@@sjk7467 Do you know when the Romans fall, their society is experiencing a 'tidal wave' much like you described?
@@arthurmorgan2887 Roman women were rarely ever able to participate in politics. If it’s anyone’s fault it’s the men’s. But it’s not any one groups fault. Rome is so many things at different places and times. Rome didn’t fall to women and anything you try to pin it on will inevitably be cherry picking. Incels love using Rome to justify bigotry and the facts just don’t support it. If anything Rome fell to their changing economic system, but even that is reductive.
@@sjk7467 you're an incel as well boy 🤣
Incel just means low status male. And I bet you're not a millionaire 🤣 🤡
The fact that Tracy was nice and sunny even to the former child molester who was interviewed but just couldn't hold her contempt for K'Ronikka really puts things into perspective.
😂

Yup, best line.
@Exquisite Lightening I don't understand
Then she just goes silent for a minute and says "I hate you."
I have come from 5 years in the future to tell you that she said "there is no WHITE in your eyes".
That was terrifyingly realistic
@Eric Erwin hmm
DarkW0lverine honestly I would buy that on I tunes. It's trashy but it sounds great. Better than despacito or some other generic rap shit with no talent

K'ronnika is looking decidedly too wholesome in 2022
In 2023 she'd be a dude wearing tuck-friendly underwear, and would probably win a Grammy for best female pop vocal performance.
Somewhere in this universe is a journalist furiously defending “Booty Wave” as an ahead-of-its-time masterpiece of body image acceptance and female empowerment, while another derides it as the beginning of the era of “soft core” pop videos encouraging exaggerated standards of female sexuality.
The metacritic scores for Cardi B's albums be something in the 80's usually. That same bih that uses lazy ass trap production and ghostwriters out the ass.
@@2PRO_4U_2NO hypothetical if I were young girl watching this I would potentionally vomit in theory I would hypothetically be disgusted.
It's explicitly sexual content. I neither find anything wrong with sexual content nor seek it out. However, I don't believe body positivity, female empowerment, or amorous females (to put out mildly) are the same things. I would be far more comfortable with the celebrating of sexual liberation if not for the insistence of the majority of US schools teaching the demonstrably ineffective abstinence only curriculums.
The best thing it can be both at the same time. On the one hand it's empowerment because she chooses to show her booty. On the other hand hand it's still soft core but let's be honest here. If not for the ass hole shots it wouldn't be different from the mainstream already showed years ago. There's a reason I've never liked watching music videos
@@emalee8366 shut up dumbo.
I liked K'Ronikka better before she went mainstream... You just can't top her first album "Drop My Badonkadonk on Your Ding Ding Dong".
I know, didnt it have colabs with icejjfish and young nigga? Ace mcs
Yep, it was all downhill and overused from there, especially when she dropped the Melting Rubbers album.
Have you heard her new single, Jiggle 4 Ur $$?
I dunno, her recent work is a little better, when she released "when booty touch booty booty", honestly she's back to her old self
Ja'crispy and Larry would beg to differ with you on that.
Whatever their graphics team gets paid, it’s not enough
Got paid. I'm assuming the new owners let them go

Cocaine and money
Honest question: did The Onion produce a full single version of “Booty Wave” and if so, where can I find the complete song?
There is no light in your eyes. I hate you.
Hellfire awaits
I'd listen to that single unironically
Im game for an album
With videos of course...
K'ronikka's comeback album was so deep and reflective. I'm glad she worked through her issues.
Underappreciated comment
So happy she got off the drugs, fuck her agents for keeping her addicted
yup but i'm still worried about an amy winehouse scenario
Her duet with Thom Yorke was incredible. Their album “The fragile bottom” is poetry.
Totally agree. It really captured her newer, more mature and reflective outlook.
Isn't it scary that even a parody channel can create a parody song that is indistinguishable from the real thing?
+Angreh Kittunz lol yeah
+Angreh Kittunz They really could have just forgotten about the whole sketch they were writing, recorded it as a full song and video, and make big-bucks with a number one hit. This truly would have been number one at the time (or even now). It really was scarily real.
+Angreh Kittunz This is almost Poe's law.
+John Smith He's just kidding around. This news is totally real.

OMG, the Onion News Networks was so good. It’s a shame it was cancelled. Over ten years since it ended, it is still topical.They has such good writing, all the actors “played to type” so well. I have such a crush on Tracy Toth. She is amazing, actor, commercial pilot, author, and more.
"I hate you" lmfao it feels so genuine! This actress is amazing
Can't wait for Ben Shapiro to sing this
"B-word Wave"
Yes

B word referring to the female behind

20 years later the kids growing up with her music will look back on her music with nostalgia as they cook ramen in their cramped micro-apartments as miserable adults drowning in debt, poor job prospects, and an unsustainable housing market.
20 years is too generous in this economy 🤣🤣
The production values of the Onion’s golden age never cease to impress me.
K'ronikka looks and acts like a mom who's taken ecstacy before her son's birthday party.
Moms who take ecstacy are the ones who raise the kids who like this crap. (I was raised in the suburbs, I've seen it first-hand)
I thoroughly enjoy these types..I don't just encourage milf slut ecstacy use, I demand it!
And then the profit sea cum unto me.. America a war is being waged on your home astroturf. All your serotonins, botoxs and thizz face mommies be mine. United under our common anthem, Hark!

They perfectly embody morning show hosts while being so hateful and irritated
"There's no light in your eyes, K'ronikka."

If The Onion turned that into a real song they would get a fortune on iTunes sales.
this song was very tame
I'd buy ten copies.
Like Ashley O in the black mirror episode
@@shoulders-of-giants exactly. It fits a VERY wide demographic by being tame.
no fucking joke
2024 and this is sadly no longer a parody.
I don't know what's sadder:
- The fact that "Booty Wave" is toned down compared to other songs I can think of. *Stares intensly at Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Megan Thee Stallion*
- The fact that this has been going on for so long/the fact that it hasn't changed.
- The fact that people defend songs like this.
- The fact that this video is so realistic.
Onion in 2011: (parodies the music scene in 2011)
People in 2019: "Wow, they predicted the future"

Ya'll need to hear about 2 Live Crew
Still completely relevant 5 years later.
What the fuck is your problem, Jonathan? I think he meant it's relevant as a PARODY. Please relax.
I'm not sure there is a problem here. I find HiHi's adorable mix of L33t-speak and multi-syllabic vocabulary quite charming and original. All those u and ur and yaaaa mixed with humanity and pretentious? The willingness to expose such a schizoid personality in one courageous comment is refreshing. Yo, dude!
It was really just a funny. But you are correct that I used "schizoid" incorrectly. I was going for the pop definition of "schizo" with the meaning: (in general use) a mentality or approach characterized by inconsistent or contradictory elements. ty for that astute observation.
6 years and going.
And with the advent of Lil Pump it is even more relevant than ever.
I'm shocked that the Onion also predicted the response to the WAP.
I am just glad she finally got a new team, and can focus on creating more original tracks without having to give into her producer.

K’ronnikka is the most 2000’s-2010’s persona I have ever seen and I’m not sure if I love it or hate it. The way the music video is animated makes it look way too real for this to be just satire
Glad to see this. Unlike others claiming this "predicted the future", this segment just parodies what already happened.

Miley Cyrus was a thing back then. Probably more front page stuff than she is now
clearly she was based on Kesha

Worst part is, kesha is considerably tamer than most pop artists that would fit this stereotype nowadays, at least she had some semblance of intellect and actually wrote her own material even if it was questionable at best.

What is really stunning here is The Onion's writing and editing teams likely put that clip together in just a couple of days for the skit, while "real" stars spend millions and weeks to months on similar clips!
A comment I saw a few weeks ago is stuck in my mind: The Onion makes SNL look like a high school amateur hour.
I love the female newscaster's "I hate you".
RivasSarah123. I like her dress.
so honest, so brave
I rewatched so many times over the years 90% for that line.
The fact that the writers for the Onion could casually create something I feel like I've heard a million times on the top pop charts just shows how mediocre music is right now
So true, definition of talent is completely distorted.
It's brainwashing. It's that way by design.
I'm more concerned by the fact that this video alone was enought to fill my recommandations with 3 songs that look like pop songs and a compilation of 2020 pop songs. It's been months, maybe even over a year since I listen to a pop song. UA-cam's recommandation system is a little fucked up.

Probably took about half an hour of brainstorming and refining for a small group of writers to get the theme, title and lyrics. The actual track would have been generated really quickly with a bunch of presets over a generic beat. The recording and editing of the track and video would have taken the longest.
