Vern Peels THE ONION MOVIE!!

FIRST! by rboymtj	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:15:50 AM

Second? by TheTornadoKid	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:17:52 AM
I was close
Anyway... by rboymtj	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:18:31 AM
I saw this movie a couple weeks ago, I thought it was pretty funny for what it is. I am, of course, a huge fan of The Onion. Was Broken Lizard involved in writing this? I could swear one of the dudes from Supertroopers is an Onion exec in the flick.
Ugh. by The Funketeer	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:19:29 AM
I love The Onion but I know someone who works there and even he thought it was bad.

All Hail THE ONION by Scuzzy	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:37:28 AM
The Onion is one of the few bright shining spots on the internet. Also, their podcosts are outstanding. Their video podcasts are spot on authentic, except for the content, indistinguishable just by viewing from real news broadcasts. If I get 3 or 4 good laughs and a handful of chuckles out of this flick, I'll be satisfied. Movies like AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON, KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, and THE GROOVE TUBE are always hit and miss throughout, but usually good mindless entertainment.

"The Onion" jumped the shark... by darthvedder81	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:37:43 AM
after 9/11 when they turned themselves into a left-wing/"Daily Show" style outlet. I used to read the Onion 10-12 years ago when it was mostly just absurdist comedy (and a lot funnier). Also, the "AV Club" writers are extremely pretentious and annoying.
The news articles are fake?? by Snookeroo	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:39:38 AM

darthvedder81 by Knuckleduster	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:43:58 AM
Maybe it's because, after 9/11, the right-wingers became so absurd. Ooooh, let's see if we can turn this into yet another political talkback.
If the movie is half as funny as the reivew, I'm there. by rbatty024	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:44:45 AM
That review just about killed me. "Your move, ass." Classic. Fucking classic.

Have you seen Seagal's Orange commercial? Well, of course you have. Pretty funny.

This is guranteed to be the longest review for this film anywher by Fart_Master_Flex	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:51:49 AM
Yup.
It's alright. by beastie	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:52:28 AM
Worth a rent. I don't smoke up (or "smoke-out" or however it goes) but I bet it's a hell of a lot funnier stoned. I wish I had been drinking when I watched. Nope I was sober and I don't think the filmmakers were and that's the problem. Gotta be on the same level.
Must admit . . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 3rd, 2008 10:52:54 AM
. . . I laughed out loud at Vern's description of the "Armed Gunman" bit.
Glad to hear it's got some funny bits... by KillDozer	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:03:27 AM
seemed like most of their office was pretty embarrassed by how this turned out.
The trailer SUCKED. by Mosquito March	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:07:10 AM
I couldn't believe how forced and amateurish it seemed. It actually made me lose a little respect for The Onion. They can do so much better.

I mean, what are we supposed to infer from "peels?"
Vern's desciption makes it sound funnier. by beastie	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:10:33 AM
The Armed Gunman skit would have been funnier with a better director.
I don't like the Onion by Series7	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:18:48 AM
Nor The Daily Colbert Report Show. I just don't find any of that funny anymore. Its just boring now. And since 99% of it is just LOOK BUSH SUCKS! Its just lame and all of it is overly pretentious. I never understood its mass appeal. Its like for people who enjoy comedy but consider themselves too good for dick and fart jokes. Especially since Stewart used to be a huge stoner, now he's someone even mom likes. As for Seagal, after trying his energry drink, I've just been left with a bad taste in my mouth. And isn't this movie just the Half Hour News Show on Fox News?
Where is Smoove B? by James_O'Nasty	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:23:47 AM

Wow. Somebody sure does love Seagal. by EriamJH	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:24:39 AM

series 7 by Vern	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:42:33 AM
I don't read/view any of those things on a daily basis, but seriously, you think 99% is just "LOOK BUSH SUCKS!"? Do they even talk about that prick anymore? I don't even see him on the real news that much. Well, if it helps I don't believe Bush is in this movie at all. You said that you prefer fart and dick jokes, there are not fart jokes but of course the dick comes up alot with the whole COCK PUNCHER deal. So I recommend this movie to you. One thing I meant to mention: I saw an ad on TV for MEET THE SPARTANS and at the end they tagged on a little "also, THE ONION MOVIE!" So everyone out there who is involved in some sort of highly successful endeavor, just think of that ad as a possible outcome when you are about to start adapting whatever it is you do into a motion picture.
this just made me laugh by Bouncy X	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:46:40 AM

The Gillette Fusion Power razor has 5 count'em 5 blades. And probably runs on gasoline
Vern by Series7	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:58:34 AM
Well if it's not 99% Bush sucks anymore thats probably because I haven't looked into those things for a while. Its not that dick and fart jokes are my favorite, its just that half the stuff on the Daily/Onion/Report are just as juvenile, but the people I know who read the Onion religiously or watch Show/Report every day act like they are too good for Dick and fart jokes. Plus I just hate how all these outlets do is try to raise awarness and pretty much point the finger and laugh, but never really do any good. They could use their outlets to do so much more, instead they like to sit around and think about how witty they are. I mean when Colbert was trying to run for President in South Carolina or whatever, it was retarded and sad. But it made front page news in South Carolina. All in all, it just not my type of comedy (I am sure the Onion movie is pretty juvenile though) and I'd rather see these talented comedians do something more interesting then just political humor, but then again it is easier then creating something original.
It has batteries by Abominable Snowcone	Jun 3rd, 2008 11:59:16 AM
what the fuck does a disposable razor need batteries for? And if a razor can't shave me well enough with two blades, then fuckit
i want this to work by LegoKenobi	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:04:29 PM

The Onion video podcasts are hilarious by BusDriverStu	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:08:55 PM
I figured this would suck though.
I'd like to know what's Vern's take on... by GenericGeek	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:17:56 PM
...the funny Mountain Dew commercials where Mr. Seagal unknowingly (?) beats up some punks in a convenience store. Good comedy or bad? Or is this covered in the book (which I intend to buy anyways)?
Battery-operated disposable razors. by tonagan	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:27:32 PM
I tried one once, and all it did was make my hand numb from the vibration. How does that help? (I know there's some sort of ribald joke in there, but I'm too tired to figure it out...)
I love my 5-blade Gilette Fusion Mach Motherfucker 10 Power Exce by beastie	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:31:59 PM
Really, I do like it. I wanted to try it because I want to try everything new, but it really does work well.
"The Onion" started here in Madison by Turd Furgusen	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:32:28 PM
Great Review as always Vern. I've been watching this develop for a while. When my parents brought me to college in Madison there was an "Onion" front page story about Bush Sr. having a huge erection at a U.N. speech complete with pictures. My parents bought it hook line and sinker. I've been reading it ever since. BTW, for some of you posters, you can thank "The Onion" for "The Daily Show". Writers for that show got their start at "The Onion".

I find THE ONION to be funny as fuck. by Gilkuliehe	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:35:11 PM
That piece of news about the guy accidently shutting down the Internet is hilarious.
I've never seen a whole MadTV but was flipping channels by Big Jim	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:38:54 PM
one night many years ago and watched a skit they did about a new razor. It had 27 blades and worked like a cheese grater for the face.
Anyone who says the Daily Show... by Bobo_Vision	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:40:15 PM
...or Colbert Report should do something real to create change instead of making jokes, I quote Jon Stewart's response to Tucker Carlson when asked why Stewart didn't ask John Kerry any tough questions: "Our lead-in show is a bunch of puppets making crank calls. I don't think CNN should be taking its cues from a comedy show"...or something to that effect. Its parody. They parody whatever is topical currently or whichever administration is in power, and since that has been the Bush administration for the last 8 years, that would be a valid subject to lampoon. I'm guessing its only a matter of time before some Americans suggest changing to the name of "onions" in the supermarket, to "freedoms".
Onions aren't vegetables. by ZeroCorpse	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:41:32 PM
They're herbs. Someone named "Vern" should know that. I mean, that is a farmer's name, right?
So it's no "Amazon Women on the Moon", huh? by ZeroCorpse	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:44:07 PM
I think this style of film is pretty much dead. The Onion is funny, and their Onion News Network is pretty damn funny at times, but stretching it out to movie-length might be painful.
GenericGeek by Vern	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:52:50 PM
The Mountain Dew commercial is mildly amusing. I don't know, the "celebrity who is normally serious being funny" thing is kind of cheap. I would rather see him be serious and if the movie is one of his more absurd ones it's gonna be funnier than the Mountain Dew commercial anyway. But I got nothing against it, I laughed a little when it first came on.
Extra blades don't even do anything! by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Jun 3rd, 2008 12:58:37 PM

The Daily Show sucks now by fastcars	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:01:52 PM
Lame, unfocused, unfunny, full of mugging, ugh. I went from looking forward to it every night to not caring if I miss it. There's bigger laughs (and sharper satire) in the first three minutes of The Colbert Report, which is consistently hilarious (and in its prime). To dismiss either one as "90% saying Bush sucks" is absurd. As for The Onion, its still funny, but I'll pass on the movie.
Reading this talkback you'd think we got an influx of rookies by Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:02:42 PM
sometime around here recently. Fucking ignoramouses, this isn't your fucking 4chan or where ever the hell you came from, we've got a code of honor to our assholery here. It's a small almost negligible one but we've got it. Yes, Vern uses a geocities website. Yes he likes Steven Seagal, and yes his name is "vern." Yeah, we all think it's REAL clever and original when you insult him on these matters, because everyone who posts reviews here should only talk about the exact same shit in the exact same way. Get with the program you fucking dipshits.

THIS MOVIE"S LAME... but the articles are funny by eoneon	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:32:41 PM
i saw clips from the movie....wow! reminded me of that underground comedy movie.it wanted to be funny but for the most part wasn't. one of my fave onion posts was about the spiking prices of vowels on wheel of fortune because they know the contestants really need them and they can price gouge. very original there.i used to love the onion clips played on the howard stern show back in the terrestrial radio days too
I'll probably end up buying this one by Nico Toscani	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:33:48 PM
I own all of Seagal's other movies, including Clementine, so I don't want my collection to be incomplete.

I watched it.. it was OK by Razorback	Jun 3rd, 2008 01:47:52 PM
I would compare it to "Amazon Women on the Moon" except that it is only 1/3 as good. The whole thing about the role playing dude is awful. The movie drags at points and every now and then is as bad as "Meet the Spartans." Though, it also has moments where it is "Amazon" good.

CockPuncher is Segals best since Under Siege by pokadoo	Jun 3rd, 2008 02:27:20 PM
Make that movie now, Steven Segal!! Also, the Armed Gunman sketch appealed to me a lot. But I also found Pootie Tang hilarious, so maybe it's just me. The films a bit more hit/miss than the t'internet Onion skits, but then they only last a few seconds. For fans wanting a Brass Eye/Kentucky Fried Movie hybrid. Who also like the Onion. And aren't fussy.

That Gilette article actually reminds me of a funny MadtTv skit where some company comes out with the Mach 27 Shaving Razor and everyone in the commercial ends up looking like the invisible man after they use it. Ah yes, the 90s... (wistfully rubs with indexy finger and thumb chin)

Left wing or not, The Onion's best headline remains by Boromir	Jun 3rd, 2008 05:21:07 PM
the one they published after Jenna Bush's drunken frat party escapades: "Jenna Bush's Federally-Protected Wetlands Now Open For Drilling" The second-best on is no longer available in the archives either, as near as I can tell. Self-explanatory if you're a true geek: "Bill Gates Grants Self 18 Dexterity, 20 Charisma" The Onion deserve immortal status for those headline alone.

Not Necessarily The News by Napoleon Park	Jun 3rd, 2008 07:54:53 PM
Someone referred to "Not Necessarily The News" as "the original HBO series". I'm not sure what was meant by that so I won't try to contradict or correct it. Was it HBO's first non-movie ongoing series? it wasn't TV's first news parody program - there was "That Was The Week That Was" in the '60s, for example. And I don't believe it was AN HBO original series. well, that version was, but I seem to recall it was a remake of a British series called "Not Necessarily The Six O'Clock News". "Not Necessarily The News" was pretty funny, though, and I thought Lucy webb was sexy.
BadMrWonka by Series7	Jun 3rd, 2008 08:12:52 PM
I just don't find people mugging at their own wittiness to be funny. See some of those shows Napoleon Park I think are funny like Not the Nine O'clock news. I mean I can see where they are funny, but the same shit day in and day out, I prefer to watch Letterman/Kimmel/Conan instead. Plus every co-anchor on the Daily Show is funnier then Jon, maybe if Rob Riggle ran the show...

I am dying to mention to somebody that SHO KOSUGI is in the upcoming Wachowski production NINJA ASSASSIN. That's right, the guy who is in all those NINJA movies is in a new movie with the word NINJA in the title.

So true. All he does is read some head line or news story and then just looks bewildered, I don't need some self rightious former stoner turned family friendly comedian telling me people do dumb things. And all Colbert does is read something and then yells how good he is. The funniest things about Colbert is that he makes his guest sit down and he walks to them (thats a new level of arrogance) and the bit he does every night that he stole from Weekend Update... The Word.

I'm pretty sure you don't understand the premise of the Colbert Report. It is also clear that you are not very familiar with either of these shows. It's cool man, I don't think you would like them anyway, let's just move on. There are many things I don't understand the popularity of either. But Sho Kosugi is not one of them. Welcome back Sho Kosugi.
Like it was yesterday by edshrinker	Jun 4th, 2008 02:37:20 PM
Sitting in class in Van Hise, having the instructor tell us to put away The Onion during class. The day the new Onion paper came out was always a day to be looked forward to in Madison (BS '94). The "real" newsrag (Badger Herald) never actually disrupted class like The Onion did, snickers and laughs from the back of lecture hall as you ignored the lecture and read the paper... Ah....memories Still haven't been to the Kohl Center ( I helped build w/ tuition) in the 10 years it has been up. I hear it is the best venue in the Big Ten.

Vern by Series7	Jun 4th, 2008 03:28:04 PM
No I get the point of the Colbert report. I just don't find it that funny. Different strokes for different folks. Its just when it comes to politics and stuff I feel like more radical things need to happen for anything to ever change. Things like Colbert/Daily/Onion just almost make it seem ok, because at the end of the day we can always just laugh at it. And the word is just a shorted version of weekend update, except instead of pictures its words, its the same gag, just Colbert sometimes stays with a topic more then one joke. As for Jon, I don't know much about how he got his start on MTV and all, but I caught an old Howard Stern TV interview of him and he was baked pretty hard and very just mellow and doopey. Now he's some high strung schmuck.

if you say that Colbert is "chuckling at his own witiness" or whatever...that is ridiculous. of COURSE he's doing that, he's mocking people who ACTUALLY do that. I mean, you sound smart enough to get that, but if so, how on earth can you not get it? it's a conundrum. the Late Show funnier than daily show/colbert? I love letterman an all, but the Colbert report is pure chuckles, non-stop.

What exactly is liberal about "Anthropomorphic Juice Pitcher Among Dead in Jonestown Cult Suicide," or "US Troops Pull Out Of Vietnamese Peasant Girl" or "Kitten Thinks of Nothing But Murder All Day?" I have this weeks Onion right here (because we still get a paper copy here in Milwaukee) and the main headline is making fun of Obama. Get over yourself and stop criticizing something you admit you don't even read.

Looking at his IMDB listing, I have to say that "Rage of Honor" is a cool-ass title for a movie.

I actually thought The Daily Show was funny when Craig Kilborn was the host.

I think the Family Guy skit pretty much sums up why I don't like the Onion. The one where Brian calls Stewey out for quoting something from the Onion. I guess you could say I dislike the people that read the Onion and act like its the end all what ever its late I've been up since 7 two job day. Don't care anymore you win all political comedy news sources are comedy at its peak.

Colbert and I share the same birth city. Though for the longest time I thought he was a kanuck (i could have swore it said that on IMDB) and could not understand why he had an American political news show. Then I heard he was from the great state of Washington D.C. It wasn't until reading one of the free 13 weeks of the The Post and Courier the ole Piggly Wiggly thought they should buy me some time second half of last year that I find out the Colbster is actually a Charles Town native. And I still couldn't muster up the courage to actively engage in his comedy.

Family Guy is one of those things I can't understand the popularity of. So let us be content in knowing that you hate a thing I sometimes watch and I hate a thing you sometimes quote. In summary, THE ONION MOVIE is pretty bad but surprisingly good in parts, Sho Kosugi will be making a triumphant return to the big screen after an absence of about 15 years, and some guy wants to know why there is a book about Steven Seagal. Well hst666 if you got a better idea what I should write a book about I will travel back in time and write that book instead. Just because you asked so nicely.

Like I was thinking about my problem with all these silly political outlets and why they pissed me off so much, and I realized that I was just going to come off like that stupid Fred Armisen SNL character who is so fed up about the news he can't get a complete competent thought out. I realized that it was going to be pointless to try to argue because I couldn't voice what makes me so mad. So I’ll agree to disagree.
