parody

If you've ever wondered what Facebook would be like if everyone under the age of 65 abandoned the social network, there's a special little corner of Facebook called 'a group where we all pretend to be boomers,' and it's pretty much what it sounds like. Members of the private group mustn't break character while they hilariously role play and post as technologically challenged baby boomers. We've collected some of the best recent posts and comments so you can get a taste of some pure internet comedy. 

Anyone who's on Facebook likely has boomer relative somewhere who uses the social network to ask for advice about creating PDFs, or accidentally makes public events instead of sending private messages, or complains about innocuous problems, like the neighbor's dog barking too loudly. Well there's a Facebook group called 'a group where we all pretend to be boomers' and it's exactly what it sounds like. Everyone in the group must stay in character at all times, making for an absolutely spot on parody of the Facebook world of boomers. We've captured some gold moments from the group to give you a taste of what it's like. 

We don't want to come at people too harshly for getting wooshed by ambiguous jokes or falling for a fake headline that sounds like it could be totally real, but everyone should know what The Onion is by now. Most satirical news publications these days have the words satire, or fake, or not real news written somewhere to make the joke totally fool-proof. Well, never underestimate a fool.

We've got a bunch of great examples of times people fell for satire and 'ate the onion,' so to speak. 

Lately it feels like reality has become so unhinged and unbelievable that it's sometimes difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. On the other hand, some people are so eager to be outraged that they've lost the ability to recognize satire all together. Come on, everyone should know what The Onion is by now, right? Millennials: maybe it's time to educate that grandparent who uses facebook without supervision. Though, to be fair to all the grannies out there, even People Magazine and the President of the United States fell for some pretty obvious satire.

Although these painful woosh moments are mad entertaining, you gotta feel bad for some of these people—they go through life thinking the world is even more psychotic than it already is.

We feel sort of bad for these poor, gullible individuals who devoured satirical headlines from The Onion, but at the same time, they're providing us with a lot of entertainment, so we'll take it.

Together with Mock Diaries, we bring you this hilarious, parody interview with Emily Blunt, where she spills the beans about the intimate details of her marriage, family, and upbringing. Because if there's anything we love more than gossiping about our friends, it's getting down and dirty with our fave celebs.

When women take pictures, it's a team effort. With one bending down on the floor and contorting herself into specific positions to help her friend get that perfect shot, and the other taking 8000 mirror selfies until she has one that's perfect for Instagram, it's an area that will forever baffle men. And for that matter, many women too. So it's hilarious when men copy us girls when it comes to taking pictures and doing all the poses that we're so famous for doing. I guess this will make us think twice before posing in front of men, knowing how ridiculous they think we look.
