WASHINGTON – After announcing his resignation yesterday, Minnesota Senator Al Franken has reportedly purchased a home in Greenville, Alabama. “I like the way they think down there,” said Franken. “Their moral character, their unwavering support for those in positions of leadership and entertainment is really inspirational.” Some critics of the move accuse him of taking advantage of the current political climate in Alabama. Franken denies the connection, saying, “I’ve always been a huge fan of the Yellowhammer State. Even back in my SNL days, I pushed Lorne to move the show to Tuscaloosa. It’s a great breeding ground for people who…

DES MOINES, Iowa – Three months after being relegated to the freezer because it wasn’t consumed fast enough, a now rock-hard banana is beginning to fear that it may never be used to make banana bread, sources are reporting. The overripe banana, which was placed in the freezer door’s bottom shelf this summer, believes it has been forgotten and as a result won’t be a part of any sort of recipe any time soon, as it had previously thought. Sources close to the tropical fruit say it had been holding onto hope, even two months into being assigned to the coldest…

LONDON – The wait is over! Famed chocolatier and Warden of the 9th Interdimensional Rift Willy Wonka has at last selected his newest child vessel, with the honor going to one Dylan Mullaney of Grand Rapids, Michigan! As is customary, a plume of blood-red smoke billowed from the Wonka factory today indicating that a new, unblemished soul-cask had been chosen to host Mr. Wonka’s immortal essence. The selection of Mullaney had long been predicted. Analysts and those closest with Willy Wonka – whose true name best translates in a human tongue to “Kol-chil’tra” – had been claiming for months that Mullaney…

BOSTON – Yesterday, Mark Evans woke up from a coma more than seventeen years after a horrific car crash that almost claimed his life speaking fluent Smash Mouth. The 35-year-old woke up with bed sores and said to a nearby nurse, “Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me.” The nurse adjusted his bedding then quickly contacted his family. When asked about the accident that led to his coma, Mark explained “I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed,” adding “Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb.” Reckless driving was the cause of Mark’s accident, and he…

HEAVEN – Citing significant safety concerns, about 3.4 billion human males were recalled last week by Heaven’s Department of Product Safety. With numerous harassment incidents coming to light, God has mandated that the department begin an immediate recall before men can inflict more harm on human females and the few human males not affected by the recall. While the scale of this recall is unprecedented, according to the recall notice “you can’t be too careful.” The notice goes on to note, “…we’ve found a high percentage of men engaging in behavior that we never anticipated and didn’t detect despite eons of…

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Hoping to get a jumpstart on the holiday shopping season, Gerald Colsen has already begun camping in front of his home computer with the hopes of grabbing the best Black Friday deals. “It’s really important to be prepared early,” Gerald said while bundled up in a winter jacket with matching hat and gloves. “There are so many different sites you need to hit, and the web traffic is always horrendous.” Sitting in a fold-out chair and nursing a cup of hot chocolate his wife Nancy had brought him, Gerald laid out his game plan for navigating one…

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now that the last bite of green bean casserole has been choked down and your uncle has wrapped up his defense of Roy Moore, it’s off to the nearest shopping center for an even more deeply-rooted American tradition: Black Friday. However, one department store giant is taking a somewhat unusual approach. This year, Walmart will only give you their Black Friday discounts if you can answer their riddles three. The following set of riddles were posted to their website this morning: 1. If you want our discount on a Samsung Smart TV, tell…

Mouths agape and eyes fixed on their clasped hands, Americans at dining tables across the country today struggled to name something they were thankful for when called upon. “Oh, uhhh,” said Cleveland man George Kranish. “Boy. Hoo boy. [prolonged sigh]. Karen? You want to field this one?” While Americans earnestly sought a positive sentiment to share with their loved ones, all found themselves unable to finish the simple statement “I’m thankful for…,” with many bursting into tears, crying out in frustration, or just staring vacantly at their children. “If nothing else, normally I would have used “our health,” said Duluth…

WASHINGTON – In an impromptu White House press conference this morning, President Trump, clad in a tight-fitting turkey costume, pardoned himself for “being delicious” as well as “any and all federal crimes he may have committed since birth.” “This is wonderful,” Mr. Trump said in unprepared remarks. “We’re here, it’s almost Thanksgiving. Pilgrims, Indians, candied yams – so tasty – mashed potatoes, pie… Jared, tell the cooks to start early. But Thanksgiving. Tremendous holiday. The best. Oh, and gotta have the turkey – not this one though. Sorry, Bobby. Also, I absolve myself of crimes – all crimes – past…
