Celebrating our favorite satire pieces of the past week!
Happy Monday! Grab some coffee, pull up a chair and get ready to laugh alongside our GP editors, also known your favorite editorial crew. Here are some of the pieces that kept us LOL-ing all week long:
We adored this piece by Sarah Schmelling, up now on McSweeney’s, about the internet obsession that is keeping what little sanity we have left in tact. We need this, damn it!
Our very own Susan Sassi is back with a piece on Belladonna Comedy that has us interchangeably laughing and cringing. Maybe put your coffee down for this one….
This piece of parenting humor from Amy Strommer officially ranks #1 in a category of writing we never knew existed: “itchy humor”. Check it out on Frazzled!
In between crafting text messages, Molly Kessler also crafted this deeply enjoyable piece available to read on Humor Darling! We’ve certainly put in 10,000 hours on a lot of inconsequential activities over the last two years, so we’re right there with you.
Finally, the piece that our editors have gone back, re-read and snort-laughed at many times over during the week — this phenomenal McSweeney’s piece by John Moe. To feel both seen and called out is an internet phenomenon that many attempt but few truly pull off, and John indeed pulls it off.
