Over the last couple of years,
The Onion has established itself as the most consistently funny producers of original web video on the internet. This year they have delivered videos skewering a vast array of subjects from
VH1 and
Apple to
Jennifer Aniston and
Justin Bieber. 2010 also marked the year that
The Onion put out its first
paid web content with the
Future News short film. And in 2011, they will enter the realm of actual TV with IFC's
Onion News Network and Comedy Central's
Onion SportsDome.
The Onion may have
made a name for itself this year by finding endless ways to
make fun of Joe Biden, but it was their videos about President Obama which I thought were most successful. Some highlights include the video about the
non-racist man who almost assassinated Obama and Obama's
introduction of a high-speed bus system. But my favorite was this video from back in March that catches
Obama lip-syncing a speech.
