The 27 Funniest Onion Movie Stories

Hilarious phoney film news from US satire kings

Aug 4th 2009

We love The Onion - the New York-based newspaper/website that, astonishingly, has been going since 1988.

Although the writers cover a broad rack of newsy stories ('Drugs Win Drugs War'), they have an extra-strong grasp on the absurdities of movie/celebrity culture.

So, in slightly tenuous celebration of their 21st anniversary, here's a countdown of our favourite Onion movie riffs...

27. Fight On Top Of Movie Train Not Looking Good For Area Villain
 
26. Brad Pitt Signs On To Play Top Hat In Forthcoming Monopoly Movie
 
25. Stephen Baldwin's Personal Assistant Promoted To Stephen Baldwin
 
24. Jason Statham Beats Wedding Planner To Death In New Romantic Comedy
 
23. Former Movie Star Remains Comatose Following Career-Reviving Car Crash
 
22. Michael Bay Signs $50m Deal To Fuck Up 'Thundercats'
 
21. Area Woman Worried She's Forgetting What Heath Ledger Looked Like

      Vindictive Studio Boss Threatens To Make Coyote Ugly Sequel is one of the funniest things i've ever read, and now I spend my time failing to write something that great in the most epic manner possible.
