But you're totally adorable! That's a good thing, right, little buddy? ;-) Also, though, that line should be taught to kids and slightly taller kids, too. (Teens, I mean. The second one is teens.)
All these years later, and this is still some of my favorite content anywhere on the internet. I know we're never going to get more and that's sad, but I'm always happy to come back to it.
Damn, I totally didn't think of that. I wish I had, though. My ROFL'ing would've been more ROFLTCJBIEUGB! (Rolling On the Floor Laughing Then Choking Just Before I End Up Grossly Blarghing.) I'd roll AWAY from it, obviously.
I interpreted "13 Going on 30" as a variant on "A Christmas Carol" or "It's a Wonderful Life." Teen Jenna's pursuit of popularity was about to set her on a certain path, and the vision / body switch / time travel showed her the consequences that were waiting for her. She was then returned to shortly after that point and allowed to choose again. Side note: The "shortly after" is important to the story because it means Jenna/Scrooge/George Bailey doesn't completely escape the consequences of her/his behavior. Before they can have their second chance, they need to do one last thing: apologize to the people they've hurt.
I dunno, he may not be actively hitting on them but he sure seemed to be enjoying the effect he had on them. "Aww yeah, thats right, im a sexy beast and the young young REALLY young ladies like it! BUT DONT TRY TO KISS ME! Thats weird."
chris hubbard you wouldn’t appreciate people younger then you (but, like, not creepy young) finding you attractive? He’s an admittedly okay looking guy for his real age, but I’m sure no teenage girls were super attracted to him before. Besides, you can’t really stop someone from finding you attractive, besides being a total pos, but that would just hinder his main goal of reconnected with his kids
old Matthew Perry lives with his friend who knows about the transformation. thus explaining why he wasn't noticed to be missing. He doesn't have custody, so the kids didn't realize he wasn't where he was supposed to be
What about "The Hot Chick"? Middle-aged man swapping bodies with a teenage girl and the people in that movie noticed when the girl went missing. Clive(the middle-aged man) even gets arrested for using Jessica's teenage body to make money.
Clowntrooper and how is it that zac efron + 20 years = Matthew perry. It just doesn't make sense, everyone in the movie just go with the fact that he looks exactly like her ex when he was younger.
Also, they do learn about sophie's condition, Solomon sends her sister to act as a spy on howl and supposedly solomon told her everything she knewabout sophie's predicament, I think thats an anime exclusive and not a book thing though, I'll look into it more later
I watched that movie when I had a terrible fever a few years ago. I don't remember much of it, and it's really trippy anyway. If I hadn't already known it was a movie, I'd have thought it was a fever dream.
The movie Click, SPOILERS, did a time travel that where a middle age man becomes a senior citizen he learns a lesson and then is sent back to being a middle aged man.
That doesn’t really count, because he’s not pretending to be someone else, he’s still himself and nobody treats him like he’s a different person. That’s less body switching and more time travel
@@JimmySteller but it's the same case the Jennifer Gardner movie. That they consider as a body switch .She is not pretending to be someone else she prentends to be the older version of herself but dumb.
I read somewhere that there's an unused ending to "Big" where he goes back to school after he reverts back to a child and there's a 'new girl' in his class who is actually the woman he fell in love with (the suggestion being that she used the magic fortune-telling machine to turn herself into a kid so they could stay together) - is that any less weird/disturbing?
I think it works slightly better, I mean, what does Susan got going for her when Josh leaves? Getting a fresh state and knowing not to make the same mistakes I feel would've been better, not much but still.
No, that makes it more disturbing. It's a grown woman putting herself in a younger body to get with a child (it's problematic to begin with, but at least in the movie as it was, she didn't know he was a child). It would be like if in 17 again the Zac Ephron character was hooking up with the high school girls, knowing that it was really grown man Mathew Perry who just looked like a young Zac Ephron. Or any of the Freaky Fridays having the mom in the daughters body getting with the younger boys. There's a definite line in any older to younger body swap about not having them date those children.
Ahh guys these are honestly my favourite web series ever! I know they take a lot of time and a lot of work in writing, editing, shooting and so on but we really appreciate you guys for working so hard bringing these to us. Cheers cracked!
And I don't think anyone puts any thought into it! Yes, they have to come up with topics but they have to come with scripts and jokes and special little details! And I love it!
In 17 Again, Old Matthew Perry DID have one friend (with whom he enlists his help to pull this situation off). So the friend probably picked the mail, etc. Also the friend got a happy ending, so it payed off for him.
Anyone remember "18 Again" with George Burns? He jumps into the body of his grandson for however long, gives him a whole new lifestyle, and then switches back at the end, leaving his grandson with no memory of what he's been doing or where to go from there.
17 Again also has the creepy feature of an adult woman flirting with and falling for her *son's* *teenage* *school friend* because he looks like her ex-husband did when he was a teenager. Imagine how creepy that must've been for her son to see 🤢
boy is sexually abused by his father, who, as an adult, he sees personified as a British, khaki & pith helmet wearing, big game hunter, a symbolic representation of a sexual predator.
I was actually terrified of Big as a kid. Every time my dad mentions it being a great movie and whatnot I just simply can't agree. I was pretty scared of the thought of being body-swapped.
There is another comment on this page complaining that they made the milk cartoon gag too obvious by zooming in on it. Yet a lot of people needed that in order to notice it at all.
I don't think it's the sexualization of younger innocence but the rekindled connection with something once lost to an adult, the child like innocence would be fun, lighthearted, and it would make the "adult behavior" protective of this innocence. The adult attraction to this younger innocence is like trying to protect their innocence to keep them from losing it like they did, and the best way to do that would be to become part of their life.
If I had the opportunity to be a teen again, you bet your ass that high school is the last place you'd ever find me. Doesn't mean I wouldn't jump at the chance to be a teen again. So many hormones. Everything felt raw and alive all the time instead of a dull haze of constant, low-level pain. At the time, it was overwhelming and terrifying, but now I miss it.
Before I begin I would like to say I am up at 2 in the morning and have been waiting for this since last month Please tell me this video is worth it. No sarcasm I just need someone to tell me that its actually okay lol
I feel like Daniel owned that point. There really wasn't a winner otherwise, but Dan had the best arguments throughout the entire dicussion. Daniel: 21 Soren: 16 Katie: 17 Michael: 21
"What is up with people being attracted to childish behavior?" This is also displayed in random everyday things like how girls giggling and blushing is supposed to be a stereotype of cute girls people are attracted to, as well as the way people call each other things like "baby" or "boo" and other stuff. And males physically picking up, piggy back carrying and tickling girls is supposed to be seen as flirting when these are things people generally do with their children. The little details people find attractive in adults that display childish behavior like these ones are partially caused by the feeling of safety and comfort, and fun. We see tickling and carrying as a safe way for someone else to touch yourself or to touch another while expressing our interest in them so it starts the path of a relationship or gives us a chance to set a limit without being made too uncomfortable or scared. We see the girlish giggling as cute because it shows the innocence and joy we want in life.
Because to men, femininity is attractive and to women masculinity is attractive. It's biological. Women giggling are seen as cute and feminine. Men displaying strength is masculine. You can argue with me but you can't argue with science.
You know what I love about After Hours? The camera doesn't bob and weave all over the goddamn place like the other videos of them talking. Thank you for holding a camera correctly Cracked!
Katie may be focusing on the slumber party as something creepy but the creepiest one or the one that could at least get her in jail real quick was the scene in which she's at a bar with Lucy and she decides to hit on a prebuescent boy who was there too. Lucy meant the middle-aged guy who was making eyes at her from the other side of the bar but when Lucy tells her that how does she react? she thinks it's gross to hit on him because he's too old for her. We know it's normal for a13 year-old to think that but no one else in the movie knows that and in real life she would have been called a paedophile even though the movie subtly pointed at it. The opposite outcome doesn't look any better although we'd have to take into account that Matt being around 30 too technically kissed a 13 year old even if they can't prove it because she's trapped in a 30 year old body. the whole dating thing doesn't work that well in this movie because of the age difference. It's awful if you stop to think about it. I'm glad there was still some fairy dust left on the rooftop of the dream house for Jenna to come back to her own time .
Way too much talk of repression in this video! As a psychology student, I can tell you that there's no solid evidence for repression. People remember traumatic events most of the time.
+rachelle2227 speak for yourself. I can, at least, attest to the fact that i repress as much as i can about what bothers me until someone or something reminds me of it. Then I do my best to distract myself and not think for a while by watching tv or playing a game until i forget. So long as i keep the bad thoughts at bay im cool with it. I know they're still there but i like to turn off the light and keep them in the dark. "click"
Onepiecethunder23 What you're arguing is irrelevant. You are talking about suppression, not repression, there's a difference. With repression, it takes considerable effort to bring up the memory that is being repressed. Dozens of therapy sessions. This is an unconscious effort, suppression is a conscious effort generally. (And like I said, repression isn't that common, or may not even be a thing).
Okay, the milk carton said “Dan Obrian” is a missing kid, implying that he is in the situation of the type of movies they are talking about. In episode about the Buffy director it comes out that Micheal has had his brain swiped to clear memories a dozen times causing long term irreversible brain damage. In the body snatchers episode it ends with it coming out that sauron is the sauron of another dimension. In a different episode they hint towards that their life does not exist outside of this diner. The new after hours crew sucks, but they should do an after hours where they build a theory that factors in all of these elements to build a grand “after hours universe” theory. It could end with them realizing that they are in the same dimension.
Not likely man; Cracked burned the bridges when it fired Cody, Katie, Daniel, Jack, Michael, Soren, all the others. No way in hell they'd ever come back; they would and they have done their own thing a few times.
The close up cut of the milk carton was crass. I noticed the ‘missing’ lable and was waiting for the subtle reveal but you cut to a close up which made the gag really obvious and over thr top. Respect the audience guys.
There are literally people in the comments saying "Hey, did you guys notice the milk carton?" Clearly, they had to make it that obvious or 90% of the audience wouldn't notice it.
Mathew Perry does have a friend. And their connection is so strong that he actually convinced his best friend of what happened to him. Clearly the writer did not watch that movie.
9:15 “you will never see a body switching movie where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen” actually, there’s an episode of Angel (the spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) where an old man uses magic to swap bodies with Angel because he thinks he’s just a normal young guy and Angel has to try to dodge the nurses at the senior center to get word to his team. Not exactly part of the body switching movie genre but it exists!
Why is no one in the comments talking about dan being on the milk carton. I love the call out to big, right in the middle of talking about it. I love it!
I just realized that cracked after hours is consistently my favorite thing on the internet. Well done Also, Cracked employees start work at 10am? Sweet.
I always hate it when adults say that children are stupid. That's wrong in every possible way. I work with children and they keep surprising me over and over again. Foremost they don't make the mistakes grown ups do. They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things, they don't prejudice, they DO things instead of talking about them and five minutes after arguing with each other they are friends again. Plus, our cognitive activity and capacity is WAY bigger in childhood and only gets weaker the older we get. That's a scientific fact. For example I just can't win a game of Memory against a certain six year old in the kindergarten I work in. Noone can. It's amazing. Underestimating the next generation is a big mistake. If anything, we are the stupid ones. We are responsible for all the problems in our society. Some of these problems probably wouldn't even exist, if we would try to learn from our kids, instead of forcing them to become like us.
Blame the people that shove their own prejudices and religion down their children's throat, Do not blame the current generation, as we are doing our best to make sure the upcoming generation doesn't have too many problems as of now.
+Drace90 It's always interesting to me how you can immediately tell people who haven't grown up enough to realize just how limited your thinking actually is as a kid. Don't worry, you'll grow up in a few years and look back on this and realize just how ignorant you're being. That WILL happen.
+Drace90 I think what you're meaning to say is that children have a higher capacity for intelligence than adults. Because like... they are truly the most ignorant humans.
+Drace90 just a few examples im familar with by seeing it happen or by having it happen to me. "They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things and they dont prejudice..."; Your fat, so that makes you stupid. Your Ugly that means your not worthy of being near us, talking to us or being alive. Your smarter than me that makes you a nerd and a loser. Your not worth my time except to make fun of or beat up. (you see where im going with this... sadly) "...they do instead of talking about them" Really? So many examples come to mind. Everything from someone saying they did something to someone lying about doing it bigger, better and faster. Kids talking about a game or show thats popular and people are talking about they say they have it and love it. A lot talk about doing something (could be nearly anything really) and end up passing on the idea later. Kinda weak but still you get the point. (...and five minutes after arguing with each other they're friends again.) I dont really need to give a lot of examples about this one. Just one word; bullying. People do just horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE things to each other and sadly today more than ever through social media kids are worse than ever imo. They seem to have even less regard for others than they used to, They will attack others to the point of them harming themselves. Its a sad, horrible and shameful thing that that kind of thing happens. Not everyone forgives and not everyone becomes friends. Its nice to be idealistic but its better to be a realist imo. People are just bad for one reason or another and its better and easy to expect the worse and prepare for that than to think they're all good and be shocked every time they do something mean and horrible again... but thats just how I think and thats my opinion. Sorry didnt mean to rant but seeing your comment I just felt a need to say my part.
In reality (well, almost reality) if a teenager switches body with a mature person, he would be really obnoxious, irresponsible and terrible at handling anything!
+geoker55 If you can't figure out how to get a coffee without getting entangled in the personality of the person who's serving you, I have to wonder whether you might have some missing skills of your own. ;-)
Because of your request, I loved the sketch. This has easily become the biggest obsession I have ever had. Yall are beautiful people and Dans a beef cake. I love cake. Thanks for the entertainment!!! Soren Rules!
Actually, I recall in "13 Going on 30" Matt's fiancee announces they would be moving overseas after their wedding and he doesn't look like he's comfortable with it, so there was ANOTHER factor in him doubting this engagement.
Really appreciate you guys too. Damn I enjoy these sketches. You do a lot of fun stuff. But After Hours is the series that made me subscribe and definately my favorite one on the channel. Cheers for another awesome episode!
+Ahkilalah You could also count Trading Places with Aykroyd and Murphy. It's not complete body switching, but pretty close. Though, that one was more about social standing and how fucking unregulated stock markets can be.
they don't mean Freaky Friday style swapping... just where the person becomes someone else, not switch places with someone. I agree that their use if "switch" is confusing l.
+Shelby Miller yeah no I watched. They are still talking about the same topic as the rest of the episode... movies where you become an alternate age version of yourself as opposed to swapping with another person. Their point being your decisions in adulthood leading up to middle age is more influencing of your later life so a "switch" to that age could be potentially as useful as swapping between middle age and teen years.
Ren Allsup they absolutely never clarified that. they said "where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen." with that wording, we're going to assume the middle aged man and the senior citizen are two different people. there are many ways to word that in a more clear way if that's actually what they're trying to say.
What's missing from this discussion is movies where adults time travel and become teens; that's part of the body-switching (with or without time travel) genre as well. I mean, the only one I can think of is Peggy Sue Got Married, but I want to see this type of thought applied to that type of thing.
Yeah, lots of books about that, few movies. But those books are mostly about the guy using his knowledge to make things better for his family, become rich, or whatever
Hey Cracked, loved the new episode. I noticed the new framing of everyone's faces when they are slammin' down, but you should try to keep more of their body language in frame! Your gestures are half the fun in these videos!
+Connor Whitehead Yep. A man in his eighties switching bodies with a two hundred-year-old vampire who's physically in his twenties, and has a history of dating high school girls. Good luck analyzing that one.
Thingsandstuff True. Although Down to Earth (which is a remake of Heaven Can Wait) is about a guy who's just died, having his soul transferred into the body of someone else who's just died. So not "two people swapping bodies" so much as "one person becomes a different person".
Wow dude, that's dedication! You guys working on this video til 0430 when you've still got a 9-5pm job! Out of interest, I'm watching it at 0530. But I have slept already. A few hours..
As Soren instructed, I am commenting to say that I loved it. I just wish After hours came out more frequently, it's really the only Cracked video series I enjoy.
More important is the horrifying discovery that magic exists and it is malevolent and stupidly easy to be affected by. Once you open the 'a fairground gypsy booth thing can morph my body into an adult' can of worms... Where's the limit? You're going to be forever terrified of wizards suddenly appearing. Monsters probably exist. The world is suddenly a scary, scary place.
I would totally work for Cracked if they'd hire me. Experience in administration, hobbyist writer, 25, know far too much about Disney cartoons. I suspect they're not interested though.
I have never subscribed to anything. But I have sincerely enjoyed all of your After Hours videos and subscribed to your channel. You guys (actors/writers) make me so happy and keep me chuckling. Thank you for the new video, like the others, it was great. That includes your Today's Topic and others. The diversity of the characters and ideas you speak about are terrific. Especially the artwork and animation flashed in. I love watching these videos as I enjoy dinner. (That is a complement coming from me because if I am not eating with my family, I typically watch my favorite television show or movie during my dinner.)I look forward to more After Hours in the future. Thanks for the fun and hilarious videos and your articles. You are great.
You guys are the MOST creative group of interesting, intelligent and out of the "norm" perspective of people i´ve seen on youtube... Awesome... Keep it up...
Since the topic is more of a general "person this age gets put into a body of a different age" an interesting topic to bring to the table is the book Old Man's War in which a senior citizen (You have to be at least 65 to give DNA samples) gets put not only into a 25-ish body but a 25-ish super body. The focus of the story isn't at all about someone old being young again but it's an interesting thing to think about (in the book the first thing they all do is have sex like wild rabbits which seems reasonable for the average person to do if they are suddenly go from old to young and super fit).
+christian corona in high school I used to sometimes buy 2 litre bottles of milk at lunch time for a gag (because I was a super cool kid) and then took it with me to where ever we were going to eat. I never got kicked out for it. One time at McDonald's I finished it took it up to the drink dispenser thing and filled it with Fanta after washing it out with coke zero and the employees didn't even react. The lesson being people who work in shit holes aren't payed enough to care about rules
"You have to earn the mass that you take up in the world." Best thing I've ever heard. Haha
+NerdSync That is a consummate Soren line.
NerdSync
Woah Scott! Didn't know you watched Cracked 2 years ago! What a neat coincidence.
As a short person I must been slacking on earning that mass then. I am still waiting on the rest of my legs to show up.
But you're totally adorable! That's a good thing, right, little buddy? ;-)
Also, though, that line should be taught to kids and slightly taller kids, too. (Teens, I mean. The second one is teens.)
My thoughts put into words
All these years later, and this is still some of my favorite content anywhere on the internet. I know we're never going to get more and that's sad, but I'm always happy to come back to it.
I'm still here rewatching
Me too!
Right here with you!
Same buddy
It's almost like traveling back...iN TiMe!!
i get it. daniel was a kid the whole time. hence his "missing kid picture" on the milk. and his weird order.
Dan shouting "can I get a bowl of chocolate sugar" to the black waitress is one of the most hilarious unintentional pick up lines I have ever heard
Winchester427 I would like this comment, if it wasn't at 69.
You can like it now.
Damn, I totally didn't think of that. I wish I had, though. My ROFL'ing would've been more ROFLTCJBIEUGB! (Rolling On the Floor Laughing Then Choking Just Before I End Up Grossly Blarghing.) I'd roll AWAY from it, obviously.
"With some sprinkles and a fun spoon" 😂
5 years later and I just noticed this.
I just realized that the milk carton said "Dan O'Brien". Kind of dark. But fitting for the humor of this channel.
xXSeal FactsXx foreshadowing
Nutt what...
Nutt 😳
Especially now that they’re all gone 😭😭😭 I love this show
Does that imply that Dan is actually 13, made into an adult?
I interpreted "13 Going on 30" as a variant on "A Christmas Carol" or "It's a Wonderful Life." Teen Jenna's pursuit of popularity was about to set her on a certain path, and the vision / body switch / time travel showed her the consequences that were waiting for her. She was then returned to shortly after that point and allowed to choose again.
Side note: The "shortly after" is important to the story because it means Jenna/Scrooge/George Bailey doesn't completely escape the consequences of her/his behavior. Before they can have their second chance, they need to do one last thing: apologize to the people they've hurt.
lmao Mark Ruffalo looks super uncomfortable in every single scene of 13 going on 30.
+noxabellus I think that's his default setting no matter what he's doing in life. Lol
in 17 again Zac Efrons character never hits in a girl. in fact when his daughters friends hit on him he gives them a dad lecture.
I dunno, he may not be actively hitting on them but he sure seemed to be enjoying the effect he had on them. "Aww yeah, thats right, im a sexy beast and the young young REALLY young ladies like it! BUT DONT TRY TO KISS ME! Thats weird."
chris hubbard you wouldn’t appreciate people younger then you (but, like, not creepy young) finding you attractive? He’s an admittedly okay looking guy for his real age, but I’m sure no teenage girls were super attracted to him before. Besides, you can’t really stop someone from finding you attractive, besides being a total pos, but that would just hinder his main goal of reconnected with his kids
Except they creepy young considering his actual age.
They never say he does.
old Matthew Perry lives with his friend who knows about the transformation. thus explaining why he wasn't noticed to be missing. He doesn't have custody, so the kids didn't realize he wasn't where he was supposed to be
Exactly! Thomas Lennon's character can easily explain that Perry is just out of town, or wants to be by himself.
What about "The Hot Chick"? Middle-aged man swapping bodies with a teenage girl and the people in that movie noticed when the girl went missing. Clive(the middle-aged man) even gets arrested for using Jessica's teenage body to make money.
Yeh, I would have liked to have heard their views on that. Weird movie. Watchable...but weird.
Rob Schneider is...a teenaged girl!
Rob Schneider is...a carrot!
Also Body Switch. Although it's a woman switching with an old guy.
Technically no he only gets arrested for indecent exposure running around in a bikini.
In 17 again, how does in ex and his son not know what he looked like when he was in his teens
clowntrooper61 I think someone said they looked similar but that's all
the mom said it was coincidence that he really looked like her ex husband.
Clowntrooper and how is it that zac efron + 20 years = Matthew perry. It just doesn't make sense, everyone in the movie just go with the fact that he looks exactly like her ex when he was younger.
The idea is he went from popular high school jock to office worker and dad upset at the loss of past glory.

I just found it refreshing that the "magic janitor" in 17 Again, wasn't a magical old black man.
Rupert SansPédes or a magic gay
susannah swindel or a woman not getting shot in the head
That's because the magic janitor is a trope all its own.
or morgan freeman
He might've been a magical gay man. They didn't really go into his sexuality.
I guess Howl's Moving Castle had the main character become an old woman and it didn't turn out so badly for her.
Emily's Adventures In Horrorland
They never mention anime here
Sophie was temporarily aged, but she deliberately avoided her family and previous friends.
She was also an adult that was aged up to be an elderly adult, the issue here is a minor becoming an adult or vice versa.
Also, they do learn about sophie's condition, Solomon sends her sister to act as a spy on howl and supposedly solomon told her everything she knewabout sophie's predicament, I think thats an anime exclusive and not a book thing though, I'll look into it more later

Couldn't the movie Click technically be about a middle-aged man swapping into an elderly man?
Or an elderly man having repressed all the horrible mistakes he has made and everything bad that has happened to him since middle age.
+Avi Mittal What about Freejack, a body swapping time travel movie where the body swap never actually happens?
lcvamp242 sorry. Never seen it
+Avi Mittal and he hallucinates the grim reaper as a funnier actor with a far superior body of work.
+Avi Mittal So, Adam Sandler's career 8 years in the future?
I read somewhere that there's an unused ending to "Big" where he goes back to school after he reverts back to a child and there's a 'new girl' in his class who is actually the woman he fell in love with (the suggestion being that she used the magic fortune-telling machine to turn herself into a kid so they could stay together) - is that any less weird/disturbing?

dude the milk carton says "Dan O'Brien"
You are the only comment I can find that actually mentions this!! Did NO one else see that?! Did they BLINK?
+Cicely Patterson dude they put so much work into these
And I don't think anyone puts any thought into it! Yes, they have to come up with topics but they have to come with scripts and jokes and special little details! And I love it!

Sprinkles the guy with the glasses
In 17 Again, Old Matthew Perry DID have one friend (with whom he enlists his help to pull this situation off). So the friend probably picked the mail, etc. Also the friend got a happy ending, so it payed off for him.
Yeah, Thomas Lennon, guy that stared as Lt. Dangle in Reno 911 and also created Night in the Museum.
@@ackbarfan5556 I remember Reno 911 (funny sh*t), but I didn't know he created Night at the Museum.
He also told everyone that Matt had gone somewhere on like a trip so no one questions it
4:31 Holy shit, that explains EVERYTHING about Daniel's personality
Anyone remember "18 Again" with George Burns? He jumps into the body of his grandson for however long, gives him a whole new lifestyle, and then switches back at the end, leaving his grandson with no memory of what he's been doing or where to go from there.
I said that before I read this. (But after you said it)
So that's where 17 again gets its idea, I guess?
That sounds horrifying. Is that supposed to be a comedy?
17 Again also has the creepy feature of an adult woman flirting with and falling for her *son's* *teenage* *school friend* because he looks like her ex-husband did when he was a teenager. Imagine how creepy that must've been for her son to see 🤢
What.. No Jumanji reference? Didn't you guys talk about where they went back to kids and stuff.. idk about Hook tho..
boy is sexually abused by his father, who, as an adult, he sees personified as a British, khaki & pith helmet wearing, big game hunter, a symbolic representation of a sexual predator.
+noobmaster117 woah... never thought about that. I NEED A THERAPIST!
+noobmaster117 What?
The Phantom of the Paradise Van Pelt and Alan's father were played by the same actor in a Peter Pan style casting choice.
James Underhill Underhill don't you mean The-Rapist?
... Ok, that joke was stupid when Lois Lane did it in hush, I apologize.
Batman's parents come back as Zack Efron; I would watch that.
Would it be one Zack Efron as both parents or two Zack Efrons with a parent each?
@@Bladez10 one Zack Efron possessed by both of them.
I was actually terrified of Big as a kid. Every time my dad mentions it being a great movie and whatnot I just simply can't agree. I was pretty scared of the thought of being body-swapped.
Can all other Cracked shows be cancelled, with their resources devoted solely to more after hours?
No. I like OPCD.
Well Max, you got half your wish.

4:31... Dan O'Brian on the milk carton, did no-one else notice this?
Follow up question, why is there a full carton of milk just sitting on the table of a diner?
I mean, did they bring it with them or...
Soren says 'look at this f*cking kid on the milk' @ 9:35
There is another comment on this page complaining that they made the milk cartoon gag too obvious by zooming in on it. Yet a lot of people needed that in order to notice it at all.
Im rewatching all of these episodes again. Still just as funny as my first time
I don't think it's the sexualization of younger innocence but the rekindled connection with something once lost to an adult, the child like innocence would be fun, lighthearted, and it would make the "adult behavior" protective of this innocence. The adult attraction to this younger innocence is like trying to protect their innocence to keep them from losing it like they did, and the best way to do that would be to become part of their life.
oh to be a teen again!... wait i hated highschool and everyone in it!
Yeah I just wanna do the fun parts over again. Just to do them again. You can keep the rest of that bullshit.
If I had the opportunity to be a teen again, you bet your ass that high school is the last place you'd ever find me. Doesn't mean I wouldn't jump at the chance to be a teen again. So many hormones. Everything felt raw and alive all the time instead of a dull haze of constant, low-level pain. At the time, it was overwhelming and terrifying, but now I miss it.
Before I begin
I would like to say I am up at 2 in the morning and have been waiting for this since last month
Please tell me this video is worth it.
No sarcasm
I just need someone to tell me that its actually okay lol
+Tanishai Ngatai-Mason It's okay
Cracked Thank you for that.
I must warn you when I wake up at midday I will be telling my flatmate it was your fault
+Cracked Ss
Senpai?
+Tanishai Ngatai-Mason Of course it's good. This is actually one of the best of the good. Fuck I love cracked.
+Tanishai Ngatai-Mason "Quick! Someone tell me what kind of opinion I am supposed to have so I don't have to think for myself!" -.-
After Hours is my fave. I love the geeky over-analysing of things, it's pretty much what my friends and I do any time we're together
Hell yeah! You go and try all those milkshakes Swaim! You do you! You fulfill those childhood dreams so I can live vicariously through you!
I feel like Daniel owned that point. There really wasn't a winner otherwise, but Dan had the best arguments throughout the entire dicussion.
Daniel: 21
Soren: 16
Katie: 17
Michael: 21
"What is up with people being attracted to childish behavior?" This is also displayed in random everyday things like how girls giggling and blushing is supposed to be a stereotype of cute girls people are attracted to, as well as the way people call each other things like "baby" or "boo" and other stuff. And males physically picking up, piggy back carrying and tickling girls is supposed to be seen as flirting when these are things people generally do with their children. The little details people find attractive in adults that display childish behavior like these ones are partially caused by the feeling of safety and comfort, and fun. We see tickling and carrying as a safe way for someone else to touch yourself or to touch another while expressing our interest in them so it starts the path of a relationship or gives us a chance to set a limit without being made too uncomfortable or scared. We see the girlish giggling as cute because it shows the innocence and joy we want in life.
Because to men, femininity is attractive and to women masculinity is attractive. It's biological. Women giggling are seen as cute and feminine. Men displaying strength is masculine. You can argue with me but you can't argue with science.
You know what I love about After Hours? The camera doesn't bob and weave all over the goddamn place like the other videos of them talking. Thank you for holding a camera correctly Cracked!
Katie may be focusing on the slumber party as something creepy but the creepiest one or the one that could at least get her in jail real quick was the scene in which she's at a bar with Lucy and she decides to hit on a prebuescent boy who was there too. Lucy meant the middle-aged guy who was making eyes at her from the other side of the bar but when Lucy tells her that how does she react? she thinks it's gross to hit on him because he's too old for her. We know it's normal for a13 year-old to think that but no one else in the movie knows that and in real life she would have been called a paedophile even though the movie subtly pointed at it. The opposite outcome doesn't look any better although we'd have to take into account that Matt being around 30 too technically kissed a 13 year old even if they can't prove it because she's trapped in a 30 year old body. the whole dating thing doesn't work that well in this movie because of the age difference. It's awful if you stop to think about it. I'm glad there was still some fairy dust left on the rooftop of the dream house for Jenna to come back to her own time .
Did anyone else notice that on Soren’s milk carton that there was a picture of a younger Dan that said ‘missing?’. You can see it at 4:31
Way too much talk of repression in this video! As a psychology student, I can tell you that there's no solid evidence for repression. People remember traumatic events most of the time.
+rachelle2227 Really thinking you should wait to finish your degree because... Well, you'll find out.
Nice to know i'm not the only psychopath student here.
Hezekiah Ramirez What, with job availability or something?
+rachelle2227 speak for yourself. I can, at least, attest to the fact that i repress as much as i can about what bothers me until someone or something reminds me of it. Then I do my best to distract myself and not think for a while by watching tv or playing a game until i forget. So long as i keep the bad thoughts at bay im cool with it. I know they're still there but i like to turn off the light and keep them in the dark. "click"
Onepiecethunder23 What you're arguing is irrelevant. You are talking about suppression, not repression, there's a difference. With repression, it takes considerable effort to bring up the memory that is being repressed. Dozens of therapy sessions. This is an unconscious effort, suppression is a conscious effort generally. (And like I said, repression isn't that common, or may not even be a thing).
it's 8:08pm on a monday and After Hours is my favorite thing on the internet.
Thanks for the laughs, Cracked, love you!
Okay, the milk carton said “Dan Obrian” is a missing kid, implying that he is in the situation of the type of movies they are talking about. In episode about the Buffy director it comes out that Micheal has had his brain swiped to clear memories a dozen times causing long term irreversible brain damage. In the body snatchers episode it ends with it coming out that sauron is the sauron of another dimension. In a different episode they hint towards that their life does not exist outside of this diner.
The new after hours crew sucks, but they should do an after hours where they build a theory that factors in all of these elements to build a grand “after hours universe” theory. It could end with them realizing that they are in the same dimension.
Not likely man; Cracked burned the bridges when it fired Cody, Katie, Daniel, Jack, Michael, Soren, all the others. No way in hell they'd ever come back; they would and they have done their own thing a few times.
The close up cut of the milk carton was crass. I noticed the ‘missing’ lable and was waiting for the subtle reveal but you cut to a close up which made the gag really obvious and over thr top. Respect the audience guys.
There are literally people in the comments saying "Hey, did you guys notice the milk carton?" Clearly, they had to make it that obvious or 90% of the audience wouldn't notice it.
Best After Hours in a loooooooong time....
This is a classic episode. This is one of those shows that you binge watch because you simply can’t not binge watch.
Mathew Perry does have a friend. And their connection is so strong that he actually convinced his best friend of what happened to him. Clearly the writer did not watch that movie.
17 Again was a good movie. Not great, but not terrible. There, I said it.
Scsigs Nerd;)
If Soren is still looking for a new title, he may have found it in "Gorgeous Man-Child."
9:15 “you will never see a body switching movie where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen” actually, there’s an episode of Angel (the spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) where an old man uses magic to swap bodies with Angel because he thinks he’s just a normal young guy and Angel has to try to dodge the nurses at the senior center to get word to his team. Not exactly part of the body switching movie genre but it exists!
Why is no one in the comments talking about dan being on the milk carton. I love the call out to big, right in the middle of talking about it. I love it!
I just realized that cracked after hours is consistently my favorite thing on the internet. Well done
Also, Cracked employees start work at 10am? Sweet.
I always hate it when adults say that children are stupid. That's wrong in every possible way. I work with children and they keep surprising me over and over again. Foremost they don't make the mistakes grown ups do. They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things, they don't prejudice, they DO things instead of talking about them and five minutes after arguing with each other they are friends again. Plus, our cognitive activity and capacity is WAY bigger in childhood and only gets weaker the older we get. That's a scientific fact. For example I just can't win a game of Memory against a certain six year old in the kindergarten I work in. Noone can. It's amazing.
Underestimating the next generation is a big mistake. If anything, we are the stupid ones. We are responsible for all the problems in our society. Some of these problems probably wouldn't even exist, if we would try to learn from our kids, instead of forcing them to become like us.
Blame the people that shove their own prejudices and religion down their children's throat,
Do not blame the current generation, as we are doing our best to make sure the upcoming generation doesn't have too many problems as of now.
Children are extremely stupid and useless
+Drace90 It's always interesting to me how you can immediately tell people who haven't grown up enough to realize just how limited your thinking actually is as a kid. Don't worry, you'll grow up in a few years and look back on this and realize just how ignorant you're being. That WILL happen.
+Drace90 I think what you're meaning to say is that children have a higher capacity for intelligence than adults. Because like... they are truly the most ignorant humans.
+Drace90 just a few examples im familar with by seeing it happen or by having it happen to me.
"They are open minded, interested in all kinds of things and they dont prejudice..."; Your fat, so that makes you stupid. Your Ugly that means your not worthy of being near us, talking to us or being alive. Your smarter than me that makes you a nerd and a loser. Your not worth my time except to make fun of or beat up. (you see where im going with this... sadly)
"...they do instead of talking about them" Really? So many examples come to mind. Everything from someone saying they did something to someone lying about doing it bigger, better and faster. Kids talking about a game or show thats popular and people are talking about they say they have it and love it. A lot talk about doing something (could be nearly anything really) and end up passing on the idea later. Kinda weak but still you get the point.
(...and five minutes after arguing with each other they're friends again.) I dont really need to give a lot of examples about this one. Just one word; bullying. People do just horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE things to each other and sadly today more than ever through social media kids are worse than ever imo. They seem to have even less regard for others than they used to, They will attack others to the point of them harming themselves. Its a sad, horrible and shameful thing that that kind of thing happens. Not everyone forgives and not everyone becomes friends.
Its nice to be idealistic but its better to be a realist imo. People are just bad for one reason or another and its better and easy to expect the worse and prepare for that than to think they're all good and be shocked every time they do something mean and horrible again... but thats just how I think and thats my opinion. Sorry didnt mean to rant but seeing your comment I just felt a need to say my part.
Man I miss this channel this series and the cracked website and crew. After hours was my favorite.
In reality (well, almost reality) if a teenager switches body with a mature person, he would be really obnoxious, irresponsible and terrible at handling anything!
+megha sharma Hey, that sounds like the 20-ish yr old baristas I keep having to interact with...
Well some of that is due to hormones, and I don't know if the brain development would carry over, or just the memories.
+geoker55 If you can't figure out how to get a coffee without getting entangled in the personality of the person who's serving you, I have to wonder whether you might have some missing skills of your own. ;-)
+geoker55 Well technically that is the closest thing youd get. Seen by the world as an adult but possinly still havent grown out of being a kid
well this is an unexpectedly interesting conversation.
Because of your request, I loved the sketch. This has easily become the biggest obsession I have ever had. Yall are beautiful people and Dans a beef cake. I love cake.
Thanks for the entertainment!!!
Soren Rules!
But Dan..."The Change-Up"...
That's with two people not one
+illumiNATI in the minute 09;07
+The BD I SERIOUSLY JUST GOOGLED TO FIND THE NAME OF THE MOVIE SO I COULD COMMENT EXACTLY THIS.
Shelby Miller jajajame too
That "oh noo, feel better" threw me off guard 😅
"Man, HE really ruins *that woman's life*." 6:35
This woman fucked a minor and somehow, it's still his fault for the situation.
She thought he was an adult though.
It is 7:16 pm here and this was really great and please catch up on some sleep. Take care!
Actually, I recall in "13 Going on 30" Matt's fiancee announces they would be moving overseas after their wedding and he doesn't look like he's comfortable with it, so there was ANOTHER factor in him doubting this engagement.
Really appreciate you guys too.
Damn I enjoy these sketches. You do a lot of fun stuff. But After Hours is the series that made me subscribe and definately my favorite one on the channel. Cheers for another awesome episode!
There was a switching movie with 2 middle aged men. The Change Up with Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds
+Ahkilalah
You could also count Trading Places with Aykroyd and Murphy. It's not complete body switching, but pretty close. Though, that one was more about social standing and how fucking unregulated stock markets can be.
they don't mean Freaky Friday style swapping... just where the person becomes someone else, not switch places with someone. I agree that their use if "switch" is confusing l.
+Ren Allsup 9:04-9:20
+Shelby Miller yeah no I watched. They are still talking about the same topic as the rest of the episode... movies where you become an alternate age version of yourself as opposed to swapping with another person. Their point being your decisions in adulthood leading up to middle age is more influencing of your later life so a "switch" to that age could be potentially as useful as swapping between middle age and teen years.
Ren Allsup they absolutely never clarified that. they said "where a middle aged man swaps bodies with a senior citizen." with that wording, we're going to assume the middle aged man and the senior citizen are two different people. there are many ways to word that in a more clear way if that's actually what they're trying to say.
On the milk it says Dan Obrien "Missing"... You've been found out Daniel
THANK YOU I've always found Big so messed up
This is my new favorite TH-cam channel.
Katie rockin the strong woman vibe by critizing "13 Going on 30" and not justifying it. Listen up, fellas; That's the kind of woman you want.
Make more of these. They're the best segments on this channel
What's missing from this discussion is movies where adults time travel and become teens; that's part of the body-switching (with or without time travel) genre as well. I mean, the only one I can think of is Peggy Sue Got Married, but I want to see this type of thought applied to that type of thing.
Yeah, lots of books about that, few movies. But those books are mostly about the guy using his knowledge to make things better for his family, become rich, or whatever
I'm glad these are still being made. I quite like them.
"Missing Dan O'Brain" on the milk hahahaha
Oh this is my favorite segment! Please, please, PLEASE!!!! Make more after hours
But.. Really.. Don't we all wish to be Zach Efron?
That's very true, I agree
+Dante X Cameron yes...
+Cracked Speaking of body-swap near the end of Freaky Friday, the little brother and Grandpa almost swap bodies
I'm already Zach Efron
is it really worth being in high school musical 3 though?
yes.I've been waiting for this series to return
Anyone else see the milk carton with the "Missing: Dan O'Br-" at 4:30. Now I'm not saying Dan body-swapped, but...
It would explain so much of his social ineptitude...
4:30 A young Dan O'Brien is missing. This explains so much!
Lmaoooo Daniel "are you a snitch" great start guys
Hey Cracked, loved the new episode. I noticed the new framing of everyone's faces when they are slammin' down, but you should try to keep more of their body language in frame! Your gestures are half the fun in these videos!
What about that episode of Angel where a creepy old wizard switches bodies with Angel?
+Connor Whitehead or the movie down to earth where chris rock take the body of an old man.
+Connor Whitehead Yep. A man in his eighties switching bodies with a two hundred-year-old vampire who's physically in his twenties, and has a history of dating high school girls. Good luck analyzing that one.
These are fucking with two people. They explicitly said one person.
Thingsandstuff True. Although Down to Earth (which is a remake of Heaven Can Wait) is about a guy who's just died, having his soul transferred into the body of someone else who's just died. So not "two people swapping bodies" so much as "one person becomes a different person".
Rob Pegler Yip mine fits because of a technicality. It's technically correct, the best kind of correct.
Wow dude, that's dedication! You guys working on this video til 0430 when you've still got a 9-5pm job! Out of interest, I'm watching it at 0530. But I have slept already. A few hours..
Why is no one talking about Dans face on the missing milk cartoon at 4:30 lol
As Soren instructed, I am commenting to say that I loved it. I just wish After hours came out more frequently, it's really the only Cracked video series I enjoy.
I always had trouble with the slumber party in 13 Going on 30. This only scratches the surface.
that background music... it’s like just barely audible pinball machine with a grainy cassette tape playing old school metal))
omg a new one! omg omg omg!
You hyped yourself way too much
+Ryan Vern NEVER
+EpochDeus Why do you have my profile pic wtf
Mines diff, and i had it first.
I watch these things religiously and I love all of you guys.
More important is the horrifying discovery that magic exists and it is malevolent and stupidly easy to be affected by. Once you open the 'a fairground gypsy booth thing can morph my body into an adult' can of worms... Where's the limit? You're going to be forever terrified of wizards suddenly appearing. Monsters probably exist. The world is suddenly a scary, scary place.
+Hadras Vorshoth You're hired
I would totally work for Cracked if they'd hire me. Experience in administration, hobbyist writer, 25, know far too much about Disney cartoons.
I suspect they're not interested though.
After Hours is the only reason why I'm subscribed to Cracked.
kid Dan Obrian looked like kid from Home Alone. Hole just goes deeper n deeper.
I have never subscribed to anything. But I have sincerely enjoyed all of your After Hours videos and subscribed to your channel. You guys (actors/writers) make me so happy and keep me chuckling. Thank you for the new video, like the others, it was great. That includes your Today's Topic and others. The diversity of the characters and ideas you speak about are terrific. Especially the artwork and animation flashed in. I love watching these videos as I enjoy dinner. (That is a complement coming from me because if I am not eating with my family, I typically watch my favorite television show or movie during my dinner.)I look forward to more After Hours in the future. Thanks for the fun and hilarious videos and your articles. You are great.
Dang, Dan, did you really eat that spunky-spooned sprinkly choco-sugar bowl? Because you really got salty at the end there.
You guys are the MOST creative group of interesting, intelligent and out of the "norm" perspective of people i´ve seen on youtube...
Awesome...
Keep it up...
Since the topic is more of a general "person this age gets put into a body of a different age" an interesting topic to bring to the table is the book Old Man's War in which a senior citizen (You have to be at least 65 to give DNA samples) gets put not only into a 25-ish body but a 25-ish super body. The focus of the story isn't at all about someone old being young again but it's an interesting thing to think about (in the book the first thing they all do is have sex like wild rabbits which seems reasonable for the average person to do if they are suddenly go from old to young and super fit).
thanks guys, these videos really help me unwind
0:39 "Children are stupid. That's why they're smaller. You have to earn the mass you take up in the world" best quote from this series
I love Katie's hair!! classic style, color and length. no more red. and the episode was great as well.
is that star from sourcefed in the background?
+smellyderpface Maybe... >_>
Ok, I’m watching this again… and the most unusual thing I get from it is… he doesn’t have to be in the office until after 10AM!
why does he have a carton of milk in a RESTAURANT??? people never get a whole carton for customers. they give it to u by glass.
I always buy entire cow. First you milk it and then you eat it.
+christian corona in high school I used to sometimes buy 2 litre bottles of milk at lunch time for a gag (because I was a super cool kid) and then took it with me to where ever we were going to eat. I never got kicked out for it. One time at McDonald's I finished it took it up to the drink dispenser thing and filled it with Fanta after washing it out with coke zero and the employees didn't even react. The lesson being people who work in shit holes aren't payed enough to care about rules
they are mammals...
I think purely for the joke of Dan being a missing child on the milk carton. it's a set up. no logic to it
New After Hours :D This is my favorite Cracked franchise
Look at this kid on the fucking milk xD
Still rocking this in 2019!!! CRACKED FOR LIFE!!!
