I find it annoying how every single article starts out with one title and then it's changed later op

It's like they attempt to be funny but then are told to make the title more serious.

"passably funny" is overselling it but otherwise you're right

their podcast is kind of funny because they openly hate their audience and i think they've genuinely stopped trying to please anybody and just get that sweet ad revenue

Sad thing is MAD still puts out a funny magazine with some of the old timers contributing still but I bet Cracked pulls in 10x the money.

HOOKED ON THE BROTHERS

Clochette posted:

When did Cracked stop being funny? I had it bookmarked back when Seanbaby regularly contributed articles and while the other writers were hit-or-miss and most of the articles followed the "listicle" format, there was definitely some funny and original material to be found. Now it seems like any actual humor has been replaced with heavy-handed preachiness about the progressive issue du jour, or is about a subject that is inherently not funny. Check this out:

The 6 Most Horrifying Real Events Ever Reenacted For Movies

This article talks about the Titanic, the Holocaust, Courtney Cox's miscarriage, how the kid in the Bicycle Man episode of Diff'rent Strokes was raped IRL, and how Anita from West Side Story was also raped IRL twice. I get the feeling that the authors only bothered to make some weak gags because otherwise even Cracked wouldn't publish it. Other recent articles include:

  • 6 Insane Realities Of Life In A Modern Dictatorship
  • 5 Maddening Things Poor People Can't Get Out From Under
  • 6 Sexual Identities Everyone Still Thinks It's OK To Mock
  • 5 Things You Learn As A Massage Parlor Prostitute

The last item on the massage parlor article was about how it destroyed the writer's self-esteem and that she lived in fear of her clients. Thanks Cracked, now I want to kill myself.

Well to be honest I don't blame the dog, that pizza looks bad.

Now here's a pizza I would leave under my bed:
