The Onion's heyday was mid-90's to mid-2000's. By W Bush second term things got so crazy the onion seemed redundant. babylon bee is doing exactly what the onion used to be able to do.

The best thing the Onion ever wrote were the Herbert Kornfeld articles. You could really see the difference between humans and klingons when Herbert Kornfeld composed his articles in pitch-perfect klingonese.

i liked the Jim Anchower? guy too. he'd be on opioids now.

in my opinion peak onion was the "Our Dumb Century" book. even though i now know that the historical referebces are mostly wrong, the execution is still terrific and it's all very funny and well-done. a work of art.
