They've been making the TikTok parody videos long before the recent Tetrahedron thing, and yes there are real TikTok videos that look like this which Onion is parodying. Those videos put the actual content on half the screen then add Family Guy clips and/or mobile game gameplay for maximum brained stimulation. Nothing happened to the Onion, they are still on top of their game (but yes they've had less budget in recent years which is why you don't get the full newsroom parody videos anymore, but they're trying to bring those back after the new acquisition).
