Welcome to Lampoon Times, your favorite destination for news that’s almost true—if you squint hard enough.
We noticed that people on social media can make boatloads of money talking about things like their lunch, their abs, or what their dog thinks about inflation. So we figured, why not jump into the chaos ourselves—but with a twist: actual satire with some brain cells behind it.
“I started Lampoon Times because reality stopped making sense—so satire seemed like the only honest way to report the news.”
J.R. Rantsworth – Founder & Chief Editor
We tackle politics, pop culture, and world events with sharp wit, questionable facts, and a strong commitment to offending everyone equally. In a world drowning in influencer hot takes and clickbait nonsense, we’re here to offer you something with at least marginal value—well-packaged absurdity that pokes fun at how ridiculous real life already is.
Whether you’re laughing, crying, or doomscrolling in denial, Lampoon Times is your go-to source for fake news that’s more honest than the real thing.
We asked a few of our loyal readers why they keep coming back— after filtering out the threats and ransom notes, here are five quotes that made us laugh, cry, and question our hiring standards.
- “Finally, a news site that lies exactly how I like it!”
- “I laughed, I cried, I questioned my life choices.”
- “Lampoon Times makes me feel smarter than my TV—barely.”
- “Hard-hitting satire that bruised my funny bone.”
- “It’s like real news, but with punchlines instead of panic.”
Whether you’re here for a chuckle, a groan, or an existential crisis wrapped in a punchline, you’ve come to the right place.
Lampoon Times: Fake News never felt so true.
