@@StalwartTirith (pretend this comment is writen 10 years from now) Hey look closely, everyone. Here you see a fossilized comment from an early era, back then TH-cam had rating systems.
Tracy Toth, the female half of this duo, is one of the most convincing actresses I've ever seen, when it comes to her facial expressions and body language. And incredibly, she never did much else in the acting world. She played a news anchor in Law Abiding Citizen and appeared in a bunch of magazine shoots. Everything else she worked on is super obscure stuff. Surprising.
The actor who plays Jim Haggerty went to college to study acting, but got into broadcast journalism for a while to pay the bills first. I think that's really telling that he nails it on The Onion.
I worked for a guy who did everything without following the standards, I had to be about two stories up on an I-beam with no straps or any safety equipment...his orders "Don't fall."
@@philipm3173 I mean... it's just a quote from the video. Most people just copy their favourite sections from a video, that was my favourite part too and I was about to type... ""basically the same, except the now the bosses make us follow OSHA" WELL PLAYED!" but then I found this dudes comment and liked it instead.
"Spike TV just announced a recession-era game show from the producers of Jersey Shore. Titled Repo Games, the show follows two real-life repo men who give debtors one last chance to keep their cars by playing in a quiz show." Just saying.
I'm planning on collecting all the clean onion clips for an April Fool's Day at my office. Instead of setting up the normal news, I'll just let it roll in my lobby.
I love how Jim Haggerty and Tracy Gill are always so obliviously excited over the most grim issues, and the "coming up this hour..." segments - stuff like, "how to get more done while you sleep," and "is your child in danger of becoming fat like you?"

Yes, and what I like about the sky is how blue it is. Let's say more fundamentally obvious things! Oh, I guess this was 8 years ago. ...it's still a skull-fuckingly obvious observation.

honestly. i dont understand how childish shows like SNL are still happening but this genius isn't. i think it's just that most people are too dumb to get these jokes and need to be told when to laugh
@@itsOwO holy, never thought of it that way, that is a wild thought. Like SNL genuinely isn't funny, been wondering why everyone continues to collectively fool themselves and eachother that it is, but maybe for those who just don't get that there is so much better humor, SNL actually is entertaining 🤯
@Rombbb, The Onion stopped being funny on purpose, they got bought out by another firm. I read about it in YT comments and then on their wiki page. Now they only make videos about how Republicans cause all problems, as if the Dems aren't obedient corporate stooges as well.
I was in St. Paul minnesota this weekend and was happy to see the onion newspaper for free on the street corner news-box-thing. It's the only news I trust.
"the factory that can produce more in less time with less people wins" .... thats how the great depression started... over production... god these guys are genius's
@Apsoy Pike what is your implication? That FDR is the independent variable? The top bracket income tax seems irrelevant to me, as it was at its lowest during the depressions worst point, and its raising correlates with (impossible to say if it caused) the period of economic recovery. IIRC the top brackets tax remained levied after the war and into the post-war boom period which is a hint for me that other factors were more significant in causing the great depression than FDR; like the dustbowl, massive bank run, entente debt schemes, poorly leveraged investments and bad loans, ETC.
@Apsoy Pike totally, the lack of fertilizer was probably a goddamned nightmare. Just imagine all those vacant unfertilized fields picking up huge dust clouds, burying farms, stripping the land down to fallow earth. I am really glad that I didn’t live in the Great Depression, so much misery
Man, this stuff is great! Its like taking a nice big picture of the nation in its current state and then slathering it up with dry sarcasm. Makes for Great Irony.
He actually said "OSHA rules." OSHA is the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It's the federal department that creates regulations for protecting worker health.
Now that's not fair. The Crown Vic's exploded too. They were a far more luxurious fireball than the pinto with better safety features ensuring that you didn't go flying out the windshield or being severly injured before burning to death.
When I saw the foreign fashion model hosting, I immediately thought of Heidi Klum and Project Runway. Seriously, doling out absurdly difficult challenges calling the contestants to basically create the moon with hardly anything to work with. As usual, the Onion is not too far from the truth and it’s TERRIFYING!!! 😱
In the "STILL AHEAD THIS HOUR" section they used a tip that was already used in an episode before! By the way great reality show! Way better than those in real television.
What's even more disturbing is that the basic facts depicted in the video ARE reality. All the Onion does is tweak the truth a little to make us realize that the truth is fucking dumb and depressing.

Host: "What happened to Jose once he got fired? Love that little guy." Factory worker: "Well he lives just 3 houses. He had to come over to borrow some money." This feels too real 💀

@Josh Allen the GOAT yeah but the factory owner isn't in control of all the cameras now, and OSHA slipups are good drama.
The best touch - the actor who played the Ford exec also played a Ford exec in an earlier Onion sketch.
Onion universe consistency
Onion Cinematic Universe
That makes it cannon and therefore a series!
The executive reminds me of my plant's general manager. I hate that man
That guy is an actual executive for ford lol
Her enthusiasm is SO infectious! They both look so genuinely invested and excited. It's astounding they've pulled this off in so many episodes!
Dark factory challenge was the best episode in the series
Asif Khan I liked the one where the teams were allowed to sabotage each other myself.
My favorite was the one where they weren't aloud eat for a whole week. It really added to the action when they fell from hunger.
I liked the one where they had to work in a combat zone and we're bombed
I liked the one where they had to scavenge for scrap metal. Really raised the stakes.
Especially once they released the xenomorph

I know this is the Onion. But I bet it would be extremely hard to make 1000 fords within 24 hours with half of the crew fired
Lemon Grenade It would be extremely hard to make ten.
Lemon Grenade dont worry, the 20.000 humans was replaced by 5 robots the day after and production rate skyrocketed 9000%
And this is without electricity...
technically they only need to beat the other team to win in these television contests
I think that is the point.
wow. i think this is one of the hardest hitting bang on satires i've seen the onion do. you are fantastic! thank you.
Even though I know this is fake, I still felt some serious empathy for the workers... It's probably because I've seen so many people in my home state (Michigan) lose their jobs.
I love how Jim and Tracey are so excited like not their usual excited but SO excited. Lol

This is so much like a Belgian movie I just watched - "Un Chaine Pour Deux". Only it was about a bicycle with two production lines being bought out.
........ 'without electricity'
classic XD
