The Onion is one of the greatest websites on the internet.
Really?
To me, it's gone the way of SNL. There was a time and a place, but it was long ago and somewhere else.
To me, "skit-TV" died with SCTV, In Living Color and Bizarre. The Onion gets points for trying very hard and sometimes they come up with a good one, but for the most part it's all rather predictable and drab.

My opinion, of course.
You also love Apple so your opinion is wrong. [/Argument]
SNL sucks most of the time because of the rigors of the show being live and them having to come up with material, make props, coordinate the guest star, rehearse, etc. etc. all in the span of less than a week and then perform everything together live. Every now and then they strike gold. Most of the time, it's awkward.
SCTV was not a live show, everything was filmed on camera and carefully written with lots of time and preparation and a cast of writers and talents that has rarely been equalled. Also, it was filmed in Edmonton for a time so I don't know what to think of that.

I always took the SCTV filming in Edmonton as a not too far off the mark parody of Edmonton's local television.

SNL used to be hilarious back in its glory years.
Oh, I should add Bizarre to that list too. One of the best ever. Can't believe I forgot about it.
[Rant: That "lol" thing is a pet peeve of mine btw. What's more ######ed than telling someone you're "laughing out loud" while staring at them like a zombie? When the hell did it become uncool to laugh at something? If it's funny, laugh... if it isn't funny, don't laugh.]
What? Do you know people who do that? They say "LOL" rather than laughing?
I'm not a violent person, but I'm pretty sure I would punch someone in the face if they did that.

I'm talking about video chat over skype. A lot of the kids from school are like that when we work on projects. Someone will type something amusing, and they all type "lol" while staring at their screens. It drives me bonkers.
I snipped all that out of my post though. It's irrelevant to the discussion and I don't really want to get into a CP argument with other people over whether or not the Onion is funny.
Apple to open "friend bars"
