Nah, I guess he put the body in the back of his car and is keeping it in his basement. If he can disappear it before his kid's starts talking about it, the police will have no case.

There was a real life case in Canada like this that happened in 1979. A guy named Robert Stewart didn't realize that he hit a woman with his car and dragged her for several minutes. His defence lawyer tried to argue that Stewart ran over somebody who was already dead because she was murdered by drug dealers who then tossed her corpse outside.
All important questions, that, to be honest needed to be asked.......in addition to the follow up question "how long will it take for a patch of disturbed earth to become fully covered in vegetation, to such a degree that no one from any law enforcement department would suspect it had not always been in such a state for several?".

This is probably my favorite In The Know segment, and possibly my favorite Onion video of all time. Please bring these back!
This is far better than anything I’ve seen on SNL in the past 10 years.
Plot twist, this video is also 10 years old. Maybe 2009 was the peak of satirical comedy, who knows.
Low key wanted to hear the responses to “Does anyone own a hacksaw?” LMAO
They have a time machine for sure
Rewatching after the onion bough info wars, god I cannot wait to see what they do now that they have that branding.
I love how I'm not subscribed to the Onion, so when videos like this appear on recommended, a certain level of realness is impressed on me, making it even funnier!
video: *talks about brutally murdering somebody in front of children*
TH-cam: -there is no mature content in this video-
Other video: *says the word Coronavirus*
TH-cam: *NO*
@Jal Bean lmao
Pretty much
Me: yeah hey onion you mind Turning that manually on?
i know the onion aint bribing youtube
You mean manslaughter?
I’m glad this got recommend to me after all these years, might be the funniest video I’ve seen🤣
This is one of their best
Thank god very few of these modern Onion videos have the ticker along the bottom. I used to have to watch each video 3 times: Once for the news story, once for the ticker, and once to mop up every other bit that I might've missed. They weren't bad videos, but the fact that it made the entire season 3 times longer meant I had some very late nights...

The way host switches to "New Topic" after woman mentions the chair 🤣🤣🤣
Guys... I think he killed someone
LOL, you think?! He may have just been asking for a friend... a friend that borrowed his car, and brought it back with a bloody dent. 😂
@@elephant_888 y-yeah!
Now why would you come to such ludicrous conclusion?
Or planning to kill someone.
Ugh, these conspiracy "theorists" always trying to look too deep into everything...
This is so well made it took me a minute to realize the BIG PICTURE
Well I, for one, am glad Clifford Banes has finally found somewhere to settle down
1:09 The others were looking at him like "that's VERY oddly specific of you...."
_(sweating profusely and hyperventilating)_ Does...does anyone here know a defense lawyer that specializes in negligence-related gas explosions?! It’s...it’s for a friend!
Distant voice: SUSPECT IS ON FOOT!!
I DO! And he has a flatulence issue and is quite a blowhard, so I think he is an expert.
One question however: does the state you reside in have no problems with arcane matters like "misconduct" or "disbarment"?
These are so great to see after all these years. Age like fine wine
Love how the African American woman caught on quickest
nosuchthing8 lol “THEY SHOULD TURN THEIR DADDY IN”, I wonder where these actors are now
It's ok to say black you know.
"ANYONE WHO DOES THAT SHOULD GET _THE CHAIR!"_
_"New topic!"_
I think she was actually the most clueless xD
Myotic Tesseract Yeah she was answering like they were just questions and the other hosts are looking around like “wtf”?
The Onion actors are amazing, they need awards.
I miss the old Onion.
Ryvucz wouldn't an old onion be rotten
carolyn mmitchell You're asking the *real* question
The Onion has always been the Onion, _freebirth._
Me too sometime around the election of Obama it went from skewering everyone, albeit with a small leftward tilt, to a full on Daily Show clone, albeit much funnier.
straight from the go onion
I’ve watched this several times now, It’s really good!
"By stepping in their neck until they die", that is was so insanely funny... the timing of the line and the pacing, it was rhythmical. Exceptional writing.
1:31
oh well...
Damn
TH-camr suddenly very interested in age of consent laws
"They can use legal loopholes to get their scumbag clients out of absolutely anything!"
"Great. Great..."
The more times I watch this the better (or worse) it gets. This is amazing!
Love that they have Penn and Teller in the thumbnail of this vid. Great musicians.
