Nobody Likes Onions

Born in the wild west of early podcasting, "Nobody Likes Onions" (NLO) burst onto the scene in 2005, a brainchild of stand-up comedian Patrick Melton. The name itself is a nod to Melton's satirical website, blending the self-deprecating "Nobody Likes Me" with the sharp, observational humor of The Onion. Under Melton's unwavering captaincy, NLO quickly carved out a niche for uncensored comedy and commentary, featuring a rotating cast of global entertainers and cultivating a loyal following among those with a taste for the raw and unfiltered. Over nearly two decades, NLO has become a cornerstone of the burgeoning "dabbleverse" – the interconnected ecosystem of comedy podcasts orbiting Karl Hamburger's "Who Are These Podcasts?" (WATP). Melton's show has served as both a stage and a battlefield, actively engaging in the various dramas, feuds, and controversies that define this often-combative online world. From notorious multi-year beefs like Melton's circa-2015 campaign against "Tommy" and his family, to its current role as a primary commentator on figures like Aaron Imholte, Chad Zumock, and Mersh, NLO is rarely far from the action, frequently hosting WATP's Karl Hamburger to dissect the latest internet drama. Its unvarnished approach ensures it remains a central, albeit sometimes controversial, voice in the digital comedy landscape.
