And, last but not least, there's also the good old Uncyclopedia, which is to Wikipedia what The Onion is to journalism. There's also the satirical Venezuelan news blog El Chigüire Bipolar, note Spanish for "The Bipolar Capibara" which uses a similar, Onion-like format to lampoon the country's political situation, and Le Gorafi note the name is an inversion of Le Figaro, a rightwing newspaper, a French website created during the 2012 presidential campaign. Two American-based sites are essentially twists on The Onion for different audiences - The Babylon Bee is essentially "The Onion for conservatives", while The Hard Times is "The Onion for punk rockers". Similarly, Ministry Of Harmony describes itself as "The Onion for China". It's like a Transatlantic Equivalent of Private Eye (except decades younger, without the investigative journalism, and as a website) and similar to the later NJUZ and Newsbiscuit (which was created on the model "a British Onion"). In 2018, the Onion released the podcast A Very Fatal Murder, which parodies True Crime podcasts such as Serial. In Summer 2014, the Onion launched another sister site, ClickHole, a Clickbait Gag parodying sites such as Buzzfeed, Upworthy, The Huffington Post, and Cracked, and in 2015, they launched StarWipe, a parody of celebrity tabloids like TMZ. In Summer 2012, the Onion's YouTube arm debuted Onion Digital Studios, producing parodies of non-news programming ranging from nature documentaries to reality television. (It wasn't picked up.) There have also been three original Onion books - Our Dumb Century, a history of the 20th century told through fake Onion front pages, Our Dumb World, a Hollywood Atlas filled with stereotypes and Black Comedy, and The Onion Book of Known Knowledge, a mock encyclopedia of all existing knowledge. In 2013, a pilot for Onion News Empire, a behind-the-scenes look at the ONN newsroom, was made for.

The Onion has in the past extended into a movie (critically derided, even by its own AV Club), and most recently two TV series - OSN Sportsdome on Comedy Central and Onion News Network on IFC. The AV Club maintains a separate identity and has very little (if anything) in common with The Onion, mostly to avoid people mistakenly thinking that the AV Club presents fake news like The Onion. The site's head writer was Nathan Rabin until 2013. The Onion also has an entertainment/pop culture newspaper and website called the AV Club, which features pop culture news, reviews of almost every form of media (TV, albums, books, etc.) and interviews presented in a humorous but factual tone. Its final print edition was published in December 2013, but the website has carried on. It has since branched off into the Internet, including video clips supposedly originating from the Onion News Network. It started in 1988 as a print newspaper by a pair of students at the University of Wisconsin, and originally distributed in Madison and Milwaukee. The Onion is a satirical newspaper devoted to all aspects of American life and culture, frequently parodying tropes mentioned on This Very Wiki.
