mindbleach,

Nothing underlines The Onion’s expertise quite like other satire sites fumbling a punchline.

RizzRustbolt,

Love me some good pun-based humor.

I kind of wish the rest of the article was as quality humor as the title. Rest comes off as a bit try-hard.

The Onion really nailed it years ago by sometimes just letting a headline be a headline, knowing that sometimes running the joke into the ground ruins the joke.

“We were in development hell for over a decade – Chex Quest actually started off as an English port of this little known Japanese Famicom game Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, but the technology for sentient chex men just wasn’t there at the time so the license ended up going to Nintendo,” commented the developer.

Imagine if Super Mario Bros. 2 in the US had actually been released as a Chex-themed game. How history might have been changed.
