10 Typical Examples of Clickbait on the Internet

3 min readMay 21, 2025

Some of this stuff is repetitive.

Cartoon by Lambert-King

As many of you know, I write a lot of satire. That is becoming increasingly hard because of just how bizarre the world is becoming. How do you parody a parody? To illustrate the point, I’ve put together some typical and some timely items from the internet. Some of the headlines seen are misleading, while others are accurate and just a reflection of weird things going on. Here we go.

1: What Clint Eastwood has done to ruin his looks?

Mostly what Clint has done is live into his 90s. I see blurbs about how bad various celebrities look all the time. And it’s mostly because they had the audacity to not die young. By the way, for a guy in his 90s. Clint looks pretty good. (Admittedly not the highest of praise.)

2: You are a genius if you can answer 80% of these questions correctly.

And you’re a moron if you believe that.

3: Donald Trump is threatening to sue somebody.

I’m not really sure who. You can fill in the blank.

4: Some celebrity died a horrible death while alone and agonizing about their past.
