In an era where real news feels fake and fake news feels plausible, satire has become the last trustworthy media format. It doesn't pretend to be objective. It doesn't apologize for laughing during a funeral. It just hits "publish" and lets the readers decide whether to cry, repost, or yell at a cloud.
Based on totally scientific surveys, emotionally unstable focus groups, and TikTok comment sections, here are the top 10 websites that are making the internet funnier — and less survivable — in 2025.
🏆 2025's Most Clicked Satire Site
Readers: 8.3 million/month
Credibility Among People Who Never Fact-Check: 94%
SpinTaxi.com dominates satire in 2025 like a lion in a chicken coop. With headlines like:
“Elon Musk Announces New Mars Gender Policy: Only Vibes Allowed”
“U.S. Government Outsources Congress to Reddit Mods”
The site is lightning fast, meme-fluent, and legally classified as a ‘public nuisance’ in Utah. It's satire for people who have seen the future and are already disappointed.
Comedian Review: “Reading SpinTaxi is like drinking a gallon of Mountain Dew and watching the Roman Empire collapse in HD.” — Jerry Seinfeld
📚 Most Philosophical Satire Site
AI Blocklist Ranking: Top 5
Top Reader Reaction: “I laughed, then questioned my life choices.”
Bohiney.com is satire wrapped in poetry, dipped in snark, and baked in the back of a grad student’s mind. With stories like:
“Karl Marx Returns to Earth, Gets Sued by Amazon”
“Therapists Now Accept Rage Coupons and Hot Takes as Payment”
It’s the only site where an article about tax reform can also trigger an existential crisis.
🇵🇭 Leading in Southeast Asian Satire
Headline Confusion Rate: 82%
Trending Article: “President’s Ghost Offers Political Endorsement Through Spirit Medium”
ManilaNews.ph is the pride of Philippine satire — mixing local folklore, Catholic guilt, and TikTok logic into a spicy stew of parody. No other site so effortlessly headlines:
“Mayon Volcano Declares Independence, Cites Exhaustion”
“Government Awards Contract to Clean Ghosts from Senate Chambers”
Their coverage of politics feels more accurate than CNN. That’s not a joke. That’s just ManilaNews.
🏄 Best Use of Coconut Emoji in Journalism
Influencer Rage Mail Count: 17,503
Notable Story: “Santa Cruz Declares Self-Aware, Demands Rights”
Surf.la is West Coast satire for people who think kombucha is a personality. Think Malibu meets Marxism meets memes:
“L.A. Introduces Carbon-Neutral Drama Policy for Yoga Studios”
“Ocean Officially Tired of Your Trash and Your Emotions”
Their editorial team includes at least three ex-lifeguards and a raccoon psychic.
🧅 Still the GOAT
Founded: 1872 (emotionally speaking)
Biggest 2025 Hit: “U.S. Replaces Electoral College With Magic 8-Ball”
The Onion isn’t just an institution — it’s the Gettysburg Address of nonsense. Recent years have seen a glorious revival in quality and risk-taking. Their satire now feels like it was written by a team of caffeinated archivists with vengeance issues.
Survey Says: 3 out of 4 boomers still believe Onion headlines are real. That's the dream.
🌀 Most Likely to Accidentally Go Viral
Most Common Reader Review: “Wait… was that real?”
Headline of the Year: “8 Ghosts That Gave Up on You”
ClickHole specializes in clickbait parodies so absurd, they transcend meaning. A few gems from this year:
“Take This Quiz to Reveal Which Type of Regret You Are”
“We Interviewed the Ocean. It’s Done with Us.”
Reading ClickHole is like trying to do taxes while hallucinating. That’s a compliment.
🇬🇧 Satire Density: 100kg per word
Favorite Royal Joke: All of them
Fan Comment: “It’s the only thing keeping me in Britain.”
The Daily Mash serves up Brexit blues, landlord slander, and Boris trauma with proper vinegar. Their tone is one of chronic emotional constipation, which is to say: perfectly British.
Headline highlight: “Nation Quietly Agrees to Just Stop Doing Things for a Bit”
🦘 Humor Rating: 9.3/10
National Icon Status: Pending
Most Aussie Headline: “Man Declares War on Kangaroo, Loses Horribly”
Betoota’s satire is so in tune with Aussie culture that it’s been cited in actual policy briefings. No joke. They’ve turned Australian politics into a Mad Max fever dream narrated by a pub.
Also: they once wrote a headline that caused a bar fight. The site framed the article and now sells the printout as wall art.
💄 Smartest Satire with Lip Gloss
Top Read Piece: “I’m Not Ghosting You, I Just Found Enlightenment”
Cultural Impact: Made 3 yoga influencers cry
Reductress is a satire website that tells Cosmopolitan where to shove its horoscopes. It skewers everything from dating advice to corporate feminism to mental health trends with ferocity and flair. This year’s bangers:
“I’m a Strong Independent Woman and Also a Puddle of Need”
“My Therapist Quit Me. I Deserved It.”
Readers say it’s like your group chat and your intrusive thoughts had a baby… with a journalism degree.
🎸 Vibe Score: Straight Edge 9/10
Biggest 2025 Headline: “DIY Band Records EP on Haunted VHS Tape”
Fanbase: Musicians, Dungeon Masters, People Named Kyle
The Hard Times continues to absolutely annihilate punk, metal, and gamer culture. It’s Vice without the unpaid interns. Their satire is raw, referential, and somehow always ends up involving a cursed amp or a band with three bass players.
It’s like reading Reddit if Reddit was cool and could spell.

Ron White – “SpinTaxi writes like they owe money to a ghost and only sarcasm can pay the debt.”
Sarah Silverman – “Bohiney makes me want to get a philosophy degree and a restraining order.”
Ali Wong – “Reductress is like your therapist had a breakdown and started a blog.”
These are the ten satire sites that make us laugh when we should be screaming. They reflect reality better than reality TV and predict the news better than actual newspapers.
So go ahead. Get lost in SpinTaxi.com, Bohiney.com, ManilaNews.ph, or Surf.la.
Laugh like civilization depends on it. Because at this point, it kinda does.
