It’s hard to believe that The Onion has been around for over 30 years. But, they’re around for a good reason: they still consistently publish hilarious satirical articles with headlines that make us LOL.
Well, they make most of us LOL…
Because there are still a lot of folks out there who don’t take the time to do 3 seconds of research to find out if a headline is true or just meant to be humorous.
And that’s why I love these examples of people falling for satirical headlines hook, line, and sinker! We think these examples are going to make you laugh. Let’s check them out.
