In 2025, the world is basically a giant meme on fire. Climate change is trending, billionaires are live-streaming their therapy sessions, and Congress recently passed a bill written entirely in emojis. In times like these, satire isn't a genre — it's survival gear.
So, we present the top 10 satirical websites of 2025, based on laughs-per-minute, how many uncles they’ve offended, and total lawsuits avoided (barely).

Top Headline: “Nietzsche Quits Philosophy, Becomes Full-Time TikTok Influencer”
Bohiney is what happens when a philosophy department stages a mutiny and starts a blog. Their stories cut deep with cerebral charm:

Most Shared: “This Potato Remembers You. And It’s Not Happy.”
ClickHole doesn’t parody clickbait — it transcends it. Think: quizzes about which crayon matches your trauma, listicles written by sentient bubbles, and interviews with clouds.

It’s dumb. It’s brilliant. It’s art. Probably.

The Onion is still schooling the rest of us. Respect.

Reductress is your therapist, toxic friend, and life coach all rolled into one glitter-soaked scream. Their ability to turn self-care into political commentary is unmatched.

It's satire that understands how you feel — and then mocks you anyway.

Most Brutal Line: “UK Government Declares War on Joy. Again.”
