Those videos they did 16 years ago were some of the funniest things I've ever seen.

"America's gays too precious to risk in combat" is legendary

The ninja parade is solid gold, as well.

This is easily my favorite video ever, made by the Onion.

Brain-Dead Teen, Only Capable Of Rolling Eyes And Texting, To Be Euthanized

Her "uuuugh sigh" is so good

My personal fav was "Congressman makes preemptive apology for extramarital affair"

The stupid fucking piece of shit that doesn’t do what it god damn well should video cracks me up every time

That content was truly peak satire. I remember automatically downloading each episode onto my iPod Video to watch them. Good times

The marijuana one was my favorite since it randomly played one of about a dozen videos when you played the video.

So if you played it twice, it was a different video. If you shared it with a friend, a different video.

The general story told in each video was the same, some only having minor changes and others being completely unhinged.

I hope they bring back the same actors. I saw Duncan Birch in Always Sunny recently and it reminded me how much I love the cast of ONN.
