i'm expecting a big letdown. the onion news network videos reinforced my understanding that the onion is only funny in print.

ive heard suspiciously few things about it, but i have it lined up next on my netflix

never liked the the tv/radio stuff they did really, but id still like to give the film a chance. i owe them for entertaining me for free while riding on buses for years

The fact that I've only seen in advertised in a 5 second follow up commercial showing a girl slapping some other girls asses following a "Meet the Spartans" commercial doesn't bode well.

it's not supposed to be very good.

i have no idea what you dudes are talking about, though. the two minute videos on their site for the ONN are hilarious. not a big fan of the radio, though.

this: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/missing_girl_probably_raped

and this: http://www.theonion.com/content/video/how_can_we_raise_awareness_in

are probably my favorites.

I remember reading that everyone at the onion basically wanted to disown the movie

thirding the love for onion news network

watch the movie the other day. There was about 5 minutes of funny material but 80 minutes of pure shit. The ending has got to be one of the most "what the hell" movie ending of all time. All the movie is one news story after another after another, etc. Wait till the funny parts are on youtube. You do have to watch the the "armed gunman" skit though.

just watched it and holy shit. can't remember the last time i've seen a movie try so hard to be funny. maybe two good laughs during the entire thing. goddamn that sucked. it's directed by some guy named tom kuntz though. i guess that's kinda funny.

Steven Segal is supposed to be in a cop segment called "Ball Punchers" or something like that.

It was very funny but totally random, like tim and eric. Speaking of that, they should make a tim and eric movie

T&E have said in an interview that they are signed up for two movies, and they are already working on an Awesome Show script.But, with these guys, you never know if they're joking or not.
Anyways, from the trailer this onion movie seemed like something fun, but I'll stick to youtube clips to see if it's funny.

That joke wasn't funny the first time when it was called "Mark Hamill as 'Cock Knocker'" in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

a lot of the stuff seemed cobbled together ideas from stand up comedians ive seen, mr. show, and idiocracy. there wasnt a single performer that could carry the material - which of course wasnt great or original to begin with. a total miss

Craig downloaded and watched it, then showed me a few clips. I have to admit watching the Rape Party pretty much cracked me up. I don't think I could handle just sitting down and watching the whole movie though.

Really disappointing flick, I think I only laughed at the little CG penguin that would walk out during the news.
