The Best of the Onion
2001·176 pages
“Outside of maybe Dario Fo, an Italian who few are sure exists, the Onion people make the most consistently perfect and excoriating social commentary we currently have. But will those Nobel bastards honor them, too? Only God, our merciless and just God, knows.”
— Dave Eggers
“This publication is tasteless and destructive to our shared values. Read it for yourself and you'll see what I mean. Seriously, what else could make me laugh-much less laugh uproariously-while being offended week after week after week?”
— Al Gore
“Brutal satire that rushes into the far reaches of race, class, sexuality, and culture where many publications-and critics-fear to tread.”
— Chicago Tribune
“The Onion, unlike any other entity in our media culture, offers a refreshingly honest look at our complicated life.”
— Ken Burns
“The Onion is laugh-out-loud, go-tell-your-friends, get-angry-you-didn't-think-of-it funny.”
— Conan O'Brien
“The Onion is the funniest thing in news since Dan Rather's spooky stare.”
— Matt Groening
“The funniest publication in the United States.”
— Th e New Yorker
