Electing a gimmick dude and then finding out he's a corrupt shithead is so funny. What did you expect, New York. Did you really think the guy that had an obsession with rats (to the point it was comical) would do a good job? Really? The rats guy?

De Blasio: "Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Find A Mayor That Doesn't Suck Shit, Huh?" : nyc

“Hey, you all gave it your best shot, but it looks like it’s a little harder than you thought to run a candidate who won’t be a national fucking disgrace, doesn’t it?” said De Blasio, smirking as he suggested that the voting public had perhaps gotten a little too big for their britches at the prospect of electing someone who would amount to more than a constant source of embarrassment for the city at large. “But, no, really, I hope you have a goddamn blast with Eric Adams or whatever asshole you end up going with..."

The onion wrote this right after the primary, 6 months before Adams took office. Truly prescient.
