[Cracked] Skin Guns, Minimum Wage Jobs, and America!

Founded in 2007 Cracked.com is the vastly more successful spinoff of the defunct Cracked Magazine.

boat1.jpg
...according to an article I read on cracked. Also pictures are centered.

Pretty much literally nothing carried over from the magazine. The website took a more intellectual approach ditching the ladmag quasi-porn and shallow parodies of the magazine's final years for the more intellectual examination of science history and the arts mostly in the form of lists peppered with dick and shit jokes. When not giving you the terrorshits with articles about what common household items and practices are secretly killing you Cracked also acts as home to several great video series almost half of which don't star Michael Swaim. Contributors can submit anything from articles to photo manipulations to videos, or if you really want to be hated in the comments just submit your terrible terrible webcomic.

If you're new to Cracked here's a small sampling of where to start reading, appropriately enough in the form of lists:

Columnists

Daniel O'Brien
Soren Bowie
Robert Brockway
Chris Bucholz
Gladstone
Michael Swaim
Seanbaby
Cody
Christina H.
David Wong
Jack O'Brien
John Cheese
Luke McKinney
Brendan McGinley


Subjects

Movies & TV
Music
Celebrities
Tech
Sex
Sports
News
Science
History
Weird World
Video Games

Video

The Katie Willert Experience
After Hours
Agents of Cracked
Cracked TV
Does Not Compute

So, here it is: your place to discuss The 17 worst haircuts of the Ottoman Empire or who would win in a fight between Teddie Roosevelt and Batman or The X _____iest Ys ever found in a human body.

There's only one way I can think to appropriately end this post.

    I love Cracked

    it can be referenced too much or taken as the word of god, which is super silly

    but damn if there aren't some funny articles

    also John Dies At the End is hilarious

    I don't understand how anyone can read cracked more than like once a month without feeling drowned in its ridiculous formulaic nature.

    Seanbaby is great and his Sims 3 article is one of the funniest things I've ever read.

    Also, everybody talk about how great Swaim is.

    Man when I visit cracked, it gets it's own window. Although I've been going often enough for long enough that I've read most of the older articles I'd give a damn about, so it's not as much of a problem anymore, unlike tvtropes.

    It's Seanbaby so bear in mind he's probably referenced all of those in an article about Castlevania

    The best part is one of the least funny members of College Humor just left to write for SNL. It's like the unfunny is being fruitful and multiplying in other unfunny orchards.

    I enjoy Daniel O'Brien's writing, and the "Photoplasty" section. Also, the Cracked forums are where I first experienced the awesomeness of Nedroid.
