The Onion’s articles poke fun at famous people who have done great things such as Derek Jeter, who recently broke Lou Gehrig’s all-time Yankees hit record. The one article posted stated that Derek Jeter has fewer hits than Harold Baines, long time Major League second baseman as well as ESPN broadcaster. The article makes mention to Jeter being 144 hits away from Harold Baines who could never shine Jeter’s shoes. It stated that Jeter is honored to be in the vicinity of Harold Baines which, in reality; he has more hits than him anyway. The satire here is very prevalent but it’s also very humorous as well. They’re actually mimicking Baines because he thinks he’s an egotistic newscaster on the new network MLB Network. This is also funny because Jeter just broke one of the most prodigious records on all of baseball, which Baines could never reach even if he played 20 major league seasons. Also, the George W. Bush article was very humorous because it made mention to the fact that Bush laughed when he realized he was president of the United States for almost a decade. All he could do is chuckle at the fact that he was once the commander in chief of the most distinguished nation in the entire world. When asked how he felt about this, all Bush could do is smirk and grin without giving a reasonable answer to the question. This too is funny because he really wasn’t a great president and he didn’t do much to directly assist the nation.
