Yeah, I fully agree they aren’t as polished as the Onion. They tend to overwrite their jokes. But, I do enjoy them coming at things from a different angle. While dealing with trump etc, the Onion feels just the same as it’s been for the last decade, whereas the Babylon Bee feels just a bit different.
I think of them as an unpolished comedian with good takes and if they tightened up, could be killer. Like, Josh Johnson. Guy is prolific as hell and has great ideas but, in part because he’s producing so much, doesn’t have the time or inclination to tighten it, if that makes sense.
