The Best Funny News Websites (Including Ours)

Ours, and on this list because we publish every day. Every story is fake, and every story is sparked by a real headline we show you — satire aimed at whichever side earned it that morning.

Read The Batshit Bugle →

The reference point for the whole format: deadpan wire-service prose, invented experts, and headlines that work on their own. Strongest when it plays a national story completely straight.

Visit The Onion →

Satire written from an explicitly conservative and Christian point of view, which makes it the clearest counterweight to the mostly left-leaning satire market.

Visit The Babylon Bee →

Andy Borowitz's single-voice column — short, one-joke political pieces built around a fake quote. Ran for years at The New Yorker and now publishes independently.

Visit The Borowitz Report →

British domestic satire: pubs, commuting, weather, and Westminster. Its first-person 'as told by an idiot' pieces are a format almost nobody else does well.

Visit The Daily Mash →

Irish satire with a much harder edge than its UK and US neighbours, and very good on local politics and church-and-state stories.

Visit Waterford Whispers News →

Half satire, half real investigative journalism, in print since 1961. Worth reading for how it mixes jokes with reporting that other outlets won't run.

Visit Private Eye →

Parodies women's-magazine and lifestyle-media language specifically. Narrower target than the others, which is exactly why the headlines land so hard.
