Sometimes, people post things that are not true for different reasons but there are also moments when such types of content are published for pure fun. Satirical articles are always obvious and they are so absurd that you can tell from miles they were made up. The list below shows examples of how some people could not tell the difference and fell for made-up posts.

1. The sarcasm

People sometimes need to relax and read the headline that appalled them only to discover it was made-up, like this one.

It seems that this tweet did the job it was designed to – a made-up pointless headline was enough to infuriate this person.

Both the image and the headline you see here were made up by some prankster who wanted to stir the pot.

This person who commented here is right to be tired of misleading news but this one was obviously made for laughs.

14. The nose

Well, here is yet another user who pointed out the obvious, not realizing it was all a joke.

15. The weight

This was a funny post referring to the actor’s ability to gain and lose weight for roles but someone was not amused by it.

16. The escort

We all know that this never actually happened and the image was altered but this person believed it was real.

Well, this might be an inappropriate joke but this headline is still a prank and one person still assumed it was real.

18. The recipe

We cannot believe that someone would actually believe this was an actual recipe. It is obviously not an even plausible option.

19. The character

This topic is kind of controversial but we guess that even those who do not like Bond movies would not believe this.

20. The baby

Parents are always sensitive on the matter of kids and the cares they receive but this is one made-up story and it is obvious, too.

21. The sun

Well, nobody in their right mind would do that for real but someone was quick to react to this made-up headline.

22. The link

Now, this is one hilarious headline to see and it was bound to have a bunch of comments like this below it.

23. The cups

This is is surely not what philanthropists do and the author of this made-up story surely wanted to provoke others.

We can understand why people would be baffled by this article but it was nothing but a provocation. The image is not real, too.

26. The landmark

Image Source: Reddit

Here is the kind of story that could spark one’s imagination but it is obvious that it would never happen.

27. The scientists

This person was very quick to shut down the ones who wrote the article but it was not real, of course.

28. The bags

Image Source: Reddit

We firmly believe that people often succumb to their primal emotions after seeing a headline and they rush to write a comment and express how appalled they were instead of thinking about it and realizing that it was made just for laughs.
