Imagine going back in time to tell your past self that InfoWars fucking slaps.

Now I want some Hogwater.

When I was out and about today, I listened to the head of The Onion being interviewed on NPR. He talked a lot about the ways Alex Jones has tried to get out of paying the families of the Sandy Hook kids that were killed like he's required to. They tried to devalue Info Wars, and then have a shell company buy it at auction for a tiny amount so that there would be no money to pay the families. Apparently that was the original motivation for The Onion bidding on it and bidding it up: to make sure there was money for the families, and also they thought they could do something with it.

That whole thing is still in litigation, with Jones saying the company really has no value. So The Onion is releasing new content of the kind they intend to do on the site, in hopes that people will stream it and show the judge that there's an audience and a value. I decided to watch the first episode even if it's terrible, to give them the views.

It's not terrible, it's hilarious. Well worth watching. Note that some of the commercials are theirs, and you might not want to skip those.

Omg I have been waiting to see what they do with this IP. I gotta make sure I come back.

OH YEAH I totally forgot that The Onion acquired InfoWars after Alex Jones was forced to sell due to multiple legal proceedings including his divorce and a lawsuit from Sandy Hook shooting victims that he claimed were actors.

I lost hope before that The Onion have lost the legal battle to acquire InfoWars. But alas, there is indeed a god!

Tim's going to completely shred his voice doing this character

The lying mainstream media is not even mentioning his death!!!!!111

Haven't been able to watch it all yet; have to head to work. But man oh man, Jim Haggerty with the everyman Colbert Show vibes. Love it. And Tim's Alex Jones impression is spot...on.

First half of the headline got me lol

The parody is just so on point. Could have gone with an even more clowny version of Alex J*nes, but extending the stuttering bluster to be the entire runtime of the show would be gauche.

I'm being lied to... RIGHT now.

Realizing the headline isn't real:

I just want Knowledge Fight back.

He's been dead for 15 years, replaced by one of those Men In Black bodies with a bug in the head.

HOG WATER! HOG WATER! HOG WATER!

Jim Mother-Fucking Haggerty!

Popped like a balloon

I thought infowars.com was being taken over - is it not?

pictures for sad children.

This Elf must be stopped.

I just made it to the first “commercial break”. Damn I’m glad to have the day off.

I wasn't sure what to expect. But this was pretty good for what it is. Fuck Alex Jone and InfoWars.

Don't they own the Alex Jones character? I would have just used a generated Alex Jones suit on an actor and gotten increasingly uncanny with it.
