Warning: Gang Of Known Criminals Holds Meeting To Discuss How Much Of Your Money To Steal

[Ban Hammer 13,337]

 

DES MOINES, IA—Authorities are warning that a gang of known criminals is currently holding a meeting to debate various plots to steal your money.

 

The criminals are debating exactly how much of your money to steal. Some are suggesting stealing all of your money, while others would just like to steal most of your money. Whatever the case, they all agree on two things: A.) you have money and B.) it must be stolen.

"I know!" shouted one of the criminals, an older man with frizzy hair, known throughout the criminal underworld as a seasoned veteran when it comes to stealing people's money. "We could lower ourselves in through people's roofs and grab stuff like in that new movie the kids are talking about, Impossible Mission!"

The thing is, the Bee is not that funny. Not funny in a universal sense, that is. It is funny to a narrow slice of society, those who hold certain world views. I give it 3/10, but most Bee material falls below that standard.

 

Dad jokes are not really funny, but everyone thinks they are lame universally (except the teller, which is the best part of the joke)

 

Even trade specific jokes, like  "were Proctologists, we get you in the end"

That is universally funny.

 

Let's look at how the Onion tackles the same debate:

 

"CNN Audio Analysis Reveals Biden Caught On Wet Mic While Chewing On Own Microphone."   

 

 

Okay if you saw Uncle Joe operate you would say 'yeah that could happen" and it is in the context of the CNN releasing the hot mic tape between Bernie and Elizabeth SO you have this split moment where you know you (anyone who followed the debate) are on a satire site and yet for a moment you say, hmm let me read more, that must have really happened.

 

Here are more:

 

Biden Asks Advisors How Much Longer He Has To Pretend To Be Confused And Doddering To Avoid Criticism (poor Joe easy pickings)

 

Pete Buttigieg Trapped In Freezer After Searching Iowa Diner For Back Room With High-Rolling Donors

 

CNN Moderator Challenges Sanders’ Support For Women By Asking Him To Name Every Part Of Female Reproductive System 

 

The Onion is the real deal, the Bee? It's a bit like a box of  FruitOhhs cereal you get at Trader Joe's instead of Froot Loops, no one is buying it.

If the Bee is not funny enough to even be read, why are the leftist media organizations fact checking them?

"[that type of] joke isn't funny" says it all, but even more, tying a joke to universality, as if humor is subject to a popular vote.

 

No humor. Big yikes.

Its not funny universally, it won't appeal broadly. I am not saying don't read it, but it is a selective world view.

If there is a bonafide journalist who is fact checking the Babylon Bee, then that's the joke.😄

When Pres. Trump invited the college football champs to the White House and had hamburgers trucked in, he said that they were a mile high or some such.  Someone at the Washington Post or elsewhere actually fact-checked this and somberly reported that the President was lying in regard to the height of X number of stacked hamburgers.

Well, SOMEONE doesn't enjoy much of a sense of humor.  Can't say I'd like to go thru life like that.  I like to laugh and smile a lot.
