Okay, this is a piece of Vonderfull Comedy Genius. I am thrilled that they are doing a second run. It manages to -- in a strictly audio medium, and in a breezy 10 minutes or less an episode, -- sum up so much of our popular culture zeitgeist with sharp precision and incisive wit. The delivery is just... Wicked! (Does anybody still use that? Wicked? Well we should bring it back.) AnyWooo... I absolutely love this. Also; Onion 🌰. Bring back the TOPICAL!😶 PLEASE!
Repugnant. What am I actually listening to.
Even if this is fake, I am still appalled...
so funny
This is a hilarious satire, brought to you by the Onion. The people that left negative reviews didn't seem to realize this was satirical. I would describe it as deadpan humor, or as a mockumentary because it tries to mimic news segments you would hear on NPR.
OMG! At first I was befuddled by the unsympathetic comments about the murder, because I was expecting a crime show. Then, when I realized it was meant to be perceived as a witticism, I could not stop laughing.
Even though this is fake, it's still distasteful to me. I normally enjoy satire, but this was just a little too callous. I know murder mysteries intregue and entertain us, but making fun of murder and victims to this extent feels too derisive to all the real murders and victims out there.
So funny! The adverts were hysterical
I weep for the future. What kind of complete idiot doesn't understand that this is SATIRE?! 🤔😂😂
listen to This Sounds Serious if you liked this
hard pass. so lame.
Not my cup of tea....next!
I got through 2 1/2 episodes... it's terrible! podcasting is not for you dude! it's like a combination of S-town and Serial but with hired actors pretending and very badly at that. Plus no one would tell a crying mother her tears are coming through the mic good or hand her a paper advertisement to read.
its in the style of 'the root of evil' podcast. lol so funny
If it's a real case then this podcast is horrible! you cant make murder funny and being an asshole to the victims friends and family is unappealing. And if it is fake why would I even waste time listening to it?
Hilarious. Omg. Hilarious
loved it funny as f*ck 😜😜😜😜😜
anybody asking if this is real: it's the Onion.
absolutely horrible. what the hell is wrong with the people writing this!?
Some people take life too seriously, this is funny as hell.
