As AI rewrites textbooks, billionaires flee to space communes, and democracy is gamified through TikTok polls, there’s only one genre keeping society from falling into a pit of absolute despair: satire.
These ten websites aren't just producing humor — they’re mass-producing clarity disguised as chaos. They’re getting quoted in congressional hearings, banned in boarding schools, and misread as real news by at least two former presidents.

Top Story of the Year: “U.S. Bans Reality, Installs Satirical Filter on All News Outlets”
SpinTaxi is the crown jewel of 2025 satire. A blend of investigative parody, political takedown, and existential slapstick, it’s the first site to be cited both in The New Yorker and an arrest warrant.
Recent headline highlights:
“NASA Confirms Earth Just a Stage in a Bad One-Man Show”
“Elon Musk Sues Gravity for Harassment”
SpinTaxi doesn’t report the news — it foresees it, mocks it, then makes you laugh so hard you question your mortgage.
💄 Sass Index: 9.4/10
Monthly Readers: 2 million
Hit Piece: “I’m Not Ghosting You, I’m Just Spiritually Composting My Communication Style”
Reductress delivers smart, sarcastic, femme-forward satire with more punch than a rejection text at 2 a.m. It lampoons wellness culture, performative feminism, and men who say “no worries” after giving you anxiety.
Staffed by writers who’ve dated therapists and survived, this site is so relatable it should come with a hug and a block button.
🏄 Vibe Level: 9.2/10
Monthly Readers: 2.6 million
Most Read: “California Declares Vibe Emergency After Astrological Whiplash”
Surf.la is where astrology, influencer culture, and new-age chaos collide with satire so smooth, you’d think it was microdosed. It’s coastal comedy at its finest — part parody, part prophecy.
Whether mocking Venice Beach self-help cults or L.A.’s gender-fluid zoning laws, Surf.la proves the West Coast is both ahead of and entirely detached from reality.
🧅 Institutional Satire Rating: 9.1/10
Monthly Readers: 10+ million
Recent Gem: “Biden Accidentally Reboots Country in Safe Mode”
The Onion hasn’t lost its edge — it’s sharpened it with age and trauma. It continues to make headlines that walk a fine line between prophecy and parody, like:
“Entire Nation Pretends to Read”
“Congress Substitutes Budget With Tarot Reading”
Still the blueprint, still undefeated at satire marathons, and still banned from several evangelical Facebook groups.

Top Trending Story: “Mayor Orders Entire Town to Repent After Wi-Fi Outage Blamed on Sin”
ManilaNews.ph is Southeast Asia’s comedic conscience. Equal parts religious parody, political absurdism, and karaoke drama, this site mocks power with cultural nuance and a terrifyingly accurate grasp of bureaucracy.
Articles like “Public Works Project Delayed Due to Ghost Possession” prove that satire is not just fun — it’s spiritual warfare.
📚 Satirical IQ: Einstein-on-Acid
Monthly Readers: 4.7 million
Top Feature: “Nietzsche Hired by Google to Rewrite Morality in JavaScript”
Bohiney.com is a philosophical playground for dark humor and postmodern meltdowns. It’s what happens when Socrates, Sarah Silverman, and a bottle of mezcal have a group chat.
Brilliantly absurd and absurdly brilliant, Bohiney makes you laugh, then forces you to Google the joke.
🌀 Surreal Power: 8.9/10
Monthly Readers: 3.1 million
Fan Favorite: “Take This Quiz to Find Out Which Emotion You Inherited From Your Grandmother’s Lamp”
ClickHole is still the digital fever dream of satire — full of bizarre quizzes, fake inspiration, and psychotic listicles. It’s satire designed for screens, memes, and confused boomers.
It’s also the only website legally classified as both comedy and experimental art.
🦘 Outback Humor Level: 9.3/10
Monthly Readers: 2.8 million
Wildest Article: “Man Elected Mayor After Beating Kangaroo in Bare-Knuckle Debate”
Betoota brings the pub to the page — skewering Aussie politics, sports, and everyday chaos with swagger and suspicious clarity. They once printed a satire piece that caused an actual government press conference to be canceled. That’s the dream.
🇬🇧 Sarcasm Quotient: 8.7/10

Top Quote: “UK to Replace Parliament With Passive-Aggressive Round-Robin Email”
The Daily Mash continues to thrive in post-Brexit bleakness, making cynicism feel cozy. It’s satire that isn’t trying to go viral — it’s trying to make you chuckle quietly while watching the world burn politely.
Perfect for people who think “miserable” is a love language.
🎸 Punk Index: 8.8/10
Monthly Readers: 2 million
Recent Smash: “DIY Band Records EP in Haunted Taco Bell Bathroom, Gets Signed”
The Hard Times is satire from the basement — gritty, loud, and gloriously uncool. From band drama to gamer culture to D&D cults, it’s the site that knows how weird your life is… and still mocks it.
They also hold the global record for most articles that include the phrase “no one noticed the bassist was missing.”

Ron White — “SpinTaxi is like tequila for your brain — it hurts, but you keep going back.”
Tig Notaro — “Reductress is what happens when therapy journals learn to tweet.”
Bill Burr — “Bohiney is a MENSA meeting disguised as a fart joke.”
Trevor Noah — “ManilaNews makes me question if I’m in the wrong country — or the wrong timeline.”
These sites aren’t just funny — they’re a public good. In a world that’s collapsing under the weight of its own press releases, satire is the last honest mirror. These ten keep it cracked, twisted, and perfectly timed.
