    If even the fucking Babylon Bee, a painfully unfunny conservative Onion knockoff, actually manages to get a good dunk on you, you should automatically just be retired.

    (That said, they still kinda ruin it by overexplaining the joke in the very first line. You don't need to say the Emperor's actual name guys, anyone who gets the headline's joke will already know.)

      Lots of satire articles you don't even need to read, they're basically one-liners, maybe with a photo for extra punch.

    They almost got the headline right, but chuds are too dumb to know it's a star wars reference unless they put the word Jedi in there.

    Coulda been a decent post if it had just been the headline and image. They try too hard and they're just not good at the satire part.

    I swear to god, they need to hire someone actually funny to be an editor if they actually want to be funny. And they'll throw out about 2/3 of their posts because even the premise isn't funny.

      speaking in a gravelly, Sidious-like voice.

      Horrible writing there. The premise is great but this is why they can never be the best

    Feinstein then said proclaimed that she hopes to serve in Congress for another 100 years.

    There's low effort posting and then there's this.

      Jay Leno was on the air for a long time, and he explained every single joke he made.

      Americans really are that dumb.
