{{quote|''[[Pretentious Latin Motto|Tu Stultus Es]]''
A [[Satire|satirical]] newspaper devoted to all aspects of American life and culture, frequently parodying tropes mentioned on [[This Very Wiki]]. Started in 1988 as a print newspaper in Madison, Wisconsin (by a pair of students at the University of Wisconsin), it has since branched off into the internet, including video clips supposedly originating from the [[CNN|Onion News Network]].
Line 11:
The Onion has in the past extended into a (critically derided, even by its own AV Club) movie, and most recently two TV series — ''Onion Sportsdome'' on [[Comedy Central]] and ''Onion News Network'' on IFC. There have also been two original Onion books - ''[[Our Dumb Century]]'', a history of the 20th century told through fake Onion front pages, and ''[[Our Dumb World]]'', a [[Hollywood Atlas]] filled with stereotypes and [[Dead Baby Comedy]].
