Yeah stuff like this is always kinda weird. Imagine a local news station making something like this as a joke about someone you know, you'd think it was creepy.
I know everyone says this about all modern humor (SNL, Late Night, etc), but The Onion has long failed to maintain the mid-to-late 20-00s quality.
In that era, their parody news videos and articles with effort put into writing bridged actual satire with humor.
Nowadays, half the time when you click through it’s just the headline, and when there is an article it’s painfully unfunny. Usually the articles just rehash the headline punchline for a couple hundred words (like this one).
I’m here for Taylor and Travis humor, but this seems like it was written by a dull middle schooler. If you’re going to write jokes at least have the decency to put some effort and talent into the endeavor.
Shouldn't this be tagged as "Meme & Humor"?
This isn't very funny either

Didn’t know the onion had become so trashy
Low effort. The Onion is sometimes really funny but this isn't it.
🤣 I love the Onion.
It’s just a joke. Jesus. Lol
