Sure. Unfortunately it’s all in Hebrew… the funniest show on air here right now is called “Miskhak Makhur”, or, roughly, “Fixed Game”; you can see parts of it here. Now they are sick
There are others. Also satirical pages in all the major newspapers; sometimes they get downright vicious
An old joke (claimed as a true story, but I say UL) that works in English, just to give you a taste, started making the rounds about a week after Rabin was murdered… it tells about a bank, with people waiting in line. One of the cashiers finished a transaction and called out “who’s next?” and a guy from around the end of the line (suposedly) piped up – “Peres…”
Thanks a ton for reminding me. I was amused by the Quadragon and most of the stuff in this thread, but that piece was too much by far. That was a long article that just got sicker and sicker as it went on.
The Gates article is genius (and I have to admit to sharing Xploder’s shame at getting all the jokes). The best Onion article I have read recently is the one on “Metal Hand Sign” abuse. The writers totally nailed that one.
Penta- means “five” and a pentagon (such as “the” Pentagon) has five sides. One of those five sides was pretty much destroyed by one of the four hijacked planes, thus it became a four-sided shape. And quad- means “four.”
You must all be a bunch of “Philistine Nazi Neanderthals” for not recognizing the single most amazing and utterly spectacular Onion article ever writtenL Amazing New Hyperbolic Chamber Greatest Invention In The History Of Mankind Ever. Seriously, this thing is the absolute pinnacle of Onion humor, bar none; no other article could ever dream of coming even close to its sheer staggering level of balls to the wall hilarity, not in a million billion years.
Having read the above, and my curiosity being piqued, I took considerable effort to find the referenced article through The Onion’s search engine.
And having read it, my reaction was rather different from yours. I was favorably and pleasantly impressed at how the author managed the truly amazing feat of taking the theme of torture-murder and turning it into something genuinely, if elaborately, funny.
But that’s just how my mind works, and it need not be your problem.
Jeez, that sounds just like a friend my sister had in high school. The only joke about it is that something like that wouldn’t be printed in a newspaper, otherwise it’s completely true to life. Scary.
…:eek: that made it so perfect.
