Thats exactly what theyre satirizing lol. Stereotyping is bad even if the characteristics in question are considered a "good" thing. Like gay men being effeminate and fabulous, asians being good at math, black people being good at basketball, women being naturally maternal. These are all inherently discriminatory and prejudicial. The stereotypes become expectations, and reduce people's identities into a spectacle.

Dorkmax is it? Is staying in the closet really worse, than a three day long event, where complete strangers run up to you and ask, how far you shove the p”s up your ass and mouth? Is it worth all overweight guys in fetish gear in the middle of the street, telling you how much they love and respect you? Is it worth the rainbow car? Be honest with yourself.
I know the onion doesn’t do these videos anymore but they revisit this fictional town but the only difference is that the same residents who loved Paul now hate him and call him a groomer. The obvious joke being that Paul barely talks to kids and barely tolerates them.

@MyFenceBroke man you didn't just take a bite, you ate the whole thing! :)
@MyFenceBroke oh man you telling me you feigned the bite and shoved it down my throat instead? That's what that taste must be
@MyFenceBroke holy shit and you're rude as hell for no reason. Awesome dude! Keep it up!
I like how they kept reusing the same extras walking behind the lady
I think it’s funny that there’s some people out there that don’t see this as being satire or irony, but in fact a wonderful turn of events that should be
Poor Paul. I heard he wasn't really even gay, he just really liked MGM Musicals.
LMAO
But doesn't that make him ghae?
Fun Fact: Paul was straight until Cody moved to town
I'm pretty sure Paul and Cody have already done it.
I LOVE THIS REFERENCE.
i wanna get the reference but i can't
@Azrael X aight
Wouldn't the whole town be gay then?
this lowkey gives me south park vibes, i love it 😭
0:33 "the gay pride"
I love the way she said that lmao
They’re acting so accurately like "woke" straight people do - obvious it’s exaggerated for satire purposes but the more subtle elements are so, so, so spot on that this skit MUST have been written by a gay person, there’s no way a straight person wrote this.
oh absolutely, that woman screaming "go for it girl you work it out" made me hiss like a rabid dog
Can also be written by a gay person who is not really flamboyant and doesn't really participate in this kind of thing.
Lmao and then they all go home and vote to not give Paul rights
Better to start somewhere than never start at all.
As if a US small town would throw a gay parade for their only gay citizen. That's the real jok here.
The “Play Safe Paul” sign sent me 💀
I love how they even have those temporary no parking signs for parades,, I mean the level of detail is just *chef’s kiss*
0:28 i love how the same guys kept walking behind her 😂😂
y e e m Nice catch.
@@shaanp9796 It’s a _really_ small town.
That's the entire town, just one street.
🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god
I’m fucking crying. I would legitimately die of embarrassment if something like this ever happened to me
We will _find_ an issue we care about for you and make sure you have the entire community's support!
As a gay person idk if this would be really wholesome or the worst thing that could possibly happen to me.
Yes
Really depends on whether you consented to it or not.
As a straight person, I’m still trying to decide if this is really wholesome or a critique on virtue signaling
@@pisces2569 it’s the latter since the guy didn’t ask for it, if anything he’s implied to be at the very least inconvenienced by it. The townspeople only did it to show their “support” for gay people. They don’t actually _listen_ to the (only) gay person to ask what _he_ wants, what _he_ needs. They just do what they (the cis and straight townspeople) _think_ he should want and need, and force it onto him. The fact that there’s (supposedly) no other queer person in this town just hammers this idea even more, because there was definitely no queer person to say “oh maybe this isn’t a good idea” when they were discussing how to do the parade. Maybe it’s also the fact that the town does this to their queer residents that’s why no other queer person has come out yet. Or maybe all the other queer residents left the town lol
The whole thing would’ve been fine if there was a queer person/people who was there with them to decide how to do the parade, and if did it for the queer people to know they are seen and loved. And also if they didn’t force Paul to come out of his house and do all these stuff with them. But instead it was just a bunch of (again, supposedly) cishet people showing off their “support”.
(Sorry for the long comment. I’m a queer person)
@@pisces2569 wow, TH-cam immediately shadow banned my comment (because gay people are bad ig) but I’m gonna try again:

As a fellow Paul im scared
They're going to find and put you in a pink limo, better start wearing camo
Your profile picture looks like you’re scared
pfp checks out
We're coming for you Paul we've upgraded to a pink panzer battalion and you cannot hide Paul
don't worry, you're not alone in your fear
pink limos
*shudders*
So basically the Onion predicted June.
I thought it was gonna turn out he wasn't gay and just wore skinny Jean's one day so everyone thinks he's gay
That'd be pretty funny too lol
“The gay pride...” Paul, I know our innocently condescending support for your beautiful gay lifestyle is embarrassing, but we’re going to keep on giving it to you.
Get tested every month, Paul. And don’t do any drugs. We made sure each corner store has a bucket of free pink condoms at the counter. Long live the gays! Yay Paul! Congrats!
you ruined the fucking joke man
pepsiman
125 people would like to disagree.
@@pepsiman1488 No, he was adding on to it
manichvh the video itself is the joke I believe bc the onion specializes in comedy u less they’re talking about a comment that made a joke then idk. I legit thought the video was reaL OOPSIE POOPSIE
@@anunc there are still 7 billion people left to decide.
straight girls watching rupaul’s drag race: 0:53
Maureen Moser had real "I hear you're a racist now, Father" woman from Father Ted similarities....
Oh god yes you're right! What a classic scene that is!
It was said that even Cody helped drag Paul out of his house, though strangely he was already there before everyone else
goddamnit cody
I actually got this in my recommendations during pride month. Perfect timing, really
0:53 this woman gives me life omg 😂
😂😂😂oh my god me too
She somehow speaks as if she is surrounded by a sea of gays on a daily basis even though poor Paul is the only one.
This is hilariously true. I’m a bisexual man and I refuse to tell anyone other than close friends because I know other people will make a much bigger deal of it than I’d ever care too
WHAAAT? NOW YOU MUST CELEBRATE!!!!
I know a place that does everything normal, but they have plastic decorations shaped like genitals
YOU WOULD LOOOOOOOVE IT
@@OurNewestMemberbro chill not everyone wants a celebration for what they’re attracted to, some people just want to live their lives
@@sparksparkbubbles repression much? LET'S HAVE A PUBLIC DISCUSSION ABOUT IT
@@OurNewestMember bro I’m not repressing anybody, I’m just saying some people don’t want to draw attention to themselves for being gay or wtv, some people just want to lead normal lives. What are you going on about lmao, I’m not trying to offend anybody. You must be straight because no lgbtq person would actually act like this 💀
My neighborhood better do this or I’m leaving the community
This feels like something michael Scott would do
Why
I know this is satire but it’s kind of endearing 😂
You're endearing
Seacat sugoi 😳
i have to agree lmao
oh thank god
If you think forcing an introverted person into the public and smothering them with attention when they OBVIOUSLY want to be left alone is endearing...
Thanks for the accurate news report when everyone knows what and how the subject feels without any testament from the subject. Brilliant journalism and exactly how to show inclusiveness to minorities.
"...and other matters important to Paul."
The only gay in the village
Tough life
Me
the village people
YOUNG MAN!
Daffyd!!!
Absolutly insane how well these actors pulled it off
0:53 give her a raise
Me in high school: "Yeah, I'm gay lol"
Every "woke" girl at my school: 0:53
wow
It hurts.
@@Tucker454 might as well do what
0:54 - 1:06 That lady is soo sweet 🥺🥺💕💕
I feel like if you came out to her she would be so supportive
It would have been even funnier if the news was interviewing him and he said”I’m not gay, I’m married and have a kid.”
Gay men can also marry and have (adopt) a kid, so it'd be better if he said he has a wife and kid
That would imply that gay people are interviewed on television
@@Lu4455 *never*
@@cicidiaries don’t forget about bisexuals who are Gay and can have a wife
Imagine if Paul wasn't gay but the town was determined to "celebrate".
Hah!!!
He's just a jojo fan
The lengths this channel goes to to make these videos! They deserve an Emmy. These are so realistic in their parody, it's scary!
If this wasn’t from the onion I would’ve believed it up until 0:53
I mean...sigh..better than the alternative.
Dorkmax is it? Is staying in the closet really worse, than a three day long event, where complete strangers run up to you and ask, how far you shove the p”s up your ass and mouth? Is it worth all overweight guys in fetish gear in the middle of the street, telling you how much they love and respect you? Is it worth the rainbow car?
Be honest with yourself.
@@frankwest5388 I mean yes, that still sounds better than a life in the closet lol
@@frankwest5388 So 365 days a year of living a lie and not being able to be yourself out in the open is a good alternative? Really?
@@frankwest5388 I mean yeah pretty much. The Parade only happens once a year, and that's better than living a lie 365 days year.
Shrödinger Kat i was trying to make a joke.
Seems like it didn’t land it
funny how people are still falling for the onion in 2024
Muricans eat lead for breakfast
Bc it’s so on the nose lol
I fell for it until I saw your comment 😂 autoplay got me.
@@garfoonga1 their pipes are still lead in most of the country
The end should’ve said “they can both be dressed as queens” that would’ve made this video even better amsjssdkhsdihsdih
This is going to actually happen isn’t it.
Anything is possible in 2020! :D
@@lusciouslocks8790 luckly, as far as i know, nothing along these lines happened this year
ofc NOT! Bc all people will be gay in the future.
It probably already has.
Paul:
_Honestly I'd rather you just call me a slur..._
I'm surprised no one in the comments is mentioning Daffyd Thomas little Britain, after all he is "The only gay in the village"
0:53 I'm gonna start listening to this every morning for inspiration.
What's sadder is hes the only gay guy, meaning he can't find love
Yea
There's always other towns, and given the overbearing support of the town, I'm sure they'd hold tourism events like "Have Sex With Paul" 🤣
"Today was an historic occasion"
...*twitch*
1:20 Yes, I'm sure Paul, whose only posssible sexual partner in this town is his own hand, needs a reminder on contraceptives and STDs
I know the onion doesn’t do these videos anymore but they revisit this fictional town but the only difference is that the same residents who loved Paul now hate him and call him a groomer. The obvious joke being that Paul barely talks to kids and barely tolerates them.
"I am the only gay in THIS vilLAGE."
Daffyd!!! It's you! I have been scrolling forever to find this comment!
@@jootloops2490 😂
Damn Onion is even trolling with the resolution - it says HD on the boarders but it's really 360p ... nice try ONN ..
let me guess; when they went to his house to drag him out, he was in the closet
why did i laugh at that
“I came across a program about THE gay pride” 😂
