"What"
"Is it a pop tart?"
I don't know why I find it so funny
and mini Groodrich.. the modest wife of a polygamist.. I about spat out my soda.. haha
i watch this video for that line.
Best line in the video.
6:53 if anyone’s wondering
Holy fuck. i choked on nothing laughing so hard
It's pretty clear that advertisers think all humans are stupid and pathetic if in bizarrely spcific ways.
yup.
Lol!!! Suprise, humans are. Not some. All. That includes you. The reason the top people at these corporations have so much more money than you is because they understand this fact and utilize it while you throw money at them with your head up your ass
Jonathan Lewis Speak for yourself.
So that also includes these top people at corporations you talk about, how did they escape the trap? Besides, who am I throwing money at? I have been to the same supermarket (the one nearest me) for years and bought the same type of bread (he one I like) despite various ads trying to convince me to go somewhere else and try something different thrown at me every time I watch a wrestling show.
+Cynical Cthulhu Nah, they've just run out of ideas and decent comedians.
90% sure the joke with the clumsy guy saying he got the job was intended as "he's clumsy, he destroys everything" because he got a job in demolition, which they say.
Probably hired to save money on dynamite. Just shows up at the job site and the building comes down.
anthropologist here! take me to your antiques
totally replied to the wrong comment, but it still works here!! kinda...
Yes, but (and I’m sure everybody reading this is thinking the same thing), a clumsy person is the LAST person you want on a demolition site.
The main difference between Married With Children and those other "dumb dad" shows is that no one on that show had a brain cell to share between them. The dog was the only intelligent character on the show.
Is it a pop tart? - BEST LINE EVER!!
Agreed!
"I wanna see you be brave.... at WEDDING PLANNING !" ain't bad either 🤣🤣🤣
You guys do watch these videos, right? You're just not copying and pasting your comments from other videos?
Typical feminazi propaganda! I am really unsubscribing this time, Cracked!
uliekmudkipz What was that? I can't hear you. We just got 20 new subscribers in the time it took to type this sentence.
Cracked Yeah, that's a load of baloney. I can see this latest video has only gotten 301 views so far, and it's already been up for hours...
uliekmudkipz Typical NotKnowingThe301BugInTH-cam Propaganda!
Cracked Lies! It's not a bug, it's a feature!
There's no reason for the delivery man *to* expect that she's the boss. There's no reason for him to assume the first person he talks to is the boss. Do you think he should say, "are you the boss?". He didn't even insinuate that she isn't the boss, as he just said, "I need the boss's signature."
Well, the whole scene was off. Normal person, even if he did or didn't know would be polite and actually look at the person he's talking to, and said "I need the boss's signature."
Lets be honest it wasn't that she was a women its because she looked like a recovered drug addict mixed with a cat lady. Which shows you the power of Microsoft even you too can run a business after recovering from homelessness and drug addiction.
@@stuff2008 The stick was clearly, oh i´m a girl AND a boss. The UPS-guy wasn´t the bad part, the storyline was
"Omg I'm so manly, I'll drink a Bud Light to underline my masculinity" - said no one ever.
OMG 6 years later Kidd Rock is saying that lol 😂
Those women in the Dove True Beauty ads must be actresses right? I mean no woman is dumb enough to buy that a patch on her arm can give her confidence.
There is also the placebo effect which could apply to them.
tryrant Yeah which applies when there's a chance it might actually work, it's a sticker. What could you put into a sticker to make you beautiful?
Timewarpiaman Acid.
Timewarpiaman You could technically put certain hormones/ antidepressants in the patch (like they do with nicotine patches) that can effect the mood theoretically, but that's besides the point, the placebo effect only requires convincing to the individual, actual probable effects are not required.
If there's a bunch of idiots out there who think a metal bracelet will somehow make you more energized and healthier that's a clear sign that some people will believe anything.
The part with the cars/ bad drivers was the best: "What, is that parking gate made of sword?" XD ... I'm still laughing.
#2 is actually just a placebo affect
missed the point.
Exactly it's showing how powerful a placebo is and how most beauty products are placebos and you're not idiot for falling for it, you're human because you fell for it.
Le Horse Yes. But there point is that they expect woman are stupid enough to believe a patch will give them self confidense
The placebo *effect requires that you believe that it'll work. A pill that will treat your disease? Plausible. A patch that will make you pretty? Either magic or a major scientific breakthrough that should have been all over the news.
I was gonna say that, and that men fall for that too in scientific studies cause authority has that power
I'd rather go "Antiquing" than watch a Bears game.
GearandaltheFirst i only do that to get some Pentium 4s. Ultimate manly stuff. Adding a super powered 9800 XT from 2003!
Me is thers something I csn break neither sound fun to me
You don't like watching the Bears get their asses kicked for 20 years in between good seasons?
I'd rather watch a Packer's game than go antiquing. Because I hate antiquing. And I'm a girl.
GearandaltheFirst Same. I love going to thrift stores and such places.
Oh thank goodness I'm not the only one who noticed lol
The google thing is quite amazing, though. I signed up for a website that I needed for college while using google chrome, and when I checked the 'female' box while making my profile, google took note of it. After that I've gotten more ads for shoes, dresses, kitchen utensils, and house cleaning products than usual. I'm not mad, I just find it funny.
What I'm wondering is-- I thought women no longer took care of houses, so why are they being targeted for kitchenware?
AtariMaxiToriyama Women do take care of houses more than guys still. At least, where I live they do. At least they are no longer expected to, but it's a matter of whether we are smart enough to marry a man that knows how to do his own laundry/smart enough to teach our sons how to take care of themselves. You have no idea how many guys I know who always had their mother clean everything, even their own rooms, and are completely useless once they leave the nest!
Winter X
Oh? Where do you live? This sounds like a lovely place with feminine women.
AtariMaxiToriyama I'm around the Seattle area, sorta in the countryside. (That probably explains it haha) Our girls here are empowered just enough that they can freely choose the lifestyle they desire, which is great, but nobody has been teaching them lifestyles outside of what they and their parents grew up with, so it is this strange mix of new and old values that kind of conflict with each other. I like to think I have a good handle on who I am and what I want for myself, but eh, I'm young and will probably make mistakes here and there like everyone else. How is it where you live?
Winter X
*Great, mournful sigh*
What I am saying is true of 90% of women I see:
Dyed hair.
Too much makeup.
Awful fashion sense.
Following any and all trends to the exclusion of a single personal touch.
The women sleep around with little concern, and in two years I have known-- three women who have had kids outside of wedlock, despite their "boyfriends" being dead-beats, or having minimum wage jobs.
What's worse?
Every woman has attitude.
The kind of women who take one step forward, lift a finger in scolding and pan their heads back and forth like they're about to school you.
They're all either obnoxious, goofy or full of attitude; but none with the intelligence to hold an intellectual conversation about anything that doesn't involve a drunken exploit or children.
I think a good word to sum up the women here is "dull".
All of this, and yet they think being a housewife is practically demeaning, and they have so little concept of how to raise a child that they think they would become "bored" at the house with nothing to do. Raising a child is a 24/7 job, and if you do not know that -- or if you are raising your kid, somehow, in such a way that it is NOT true -- then you have no business having a child.
Oh, did I mention that they ALL want children? The only women who like me are at least sixty pounds overweight, even that I'm only fifteen pounds overweight, myself. I don't ask for the thinnest girl, but c'mon! At least be in my weight class.
Anyway, I'm just now entering a job wherein I'm making a pretty decent amount of money (if I remain single or only have a girlfriend).
Oh yeah, and most of the women are trailer-trash, or just trashy. Many of them look like they've been on drugs for a long time, even though they're only in their early twenties.
Even the pretty girl I spot every once in a while is usually "dolled" up with makeup, or slouches (did I mention almost every girl slouches?) or sucks at walking in heels, or dresses like a slob.
Or is taken.
It's not like I'm seeing the girls and failing to get with them.
I'm just not seeing any girls I would consider dating.
I love how much effort they put into the end card video just trying to make it sound awkward and scripted as possible; so good.
Bronies can't have opinions, and shouldn't have the right to comment
Scrotor Not True. We love our Bronies.
Avocado Brony I only watch the end plates.
Cracked You guys just got cooler by a percentage between 19 and 21%!
He was saying he liked it...
And you want to literally oppress him for something his likings?
Gee, I had no idea we lived in the dark ages...
men and boys spend a lot of time shopping and primping. the boys at my kids elementary school go all out with the bright socks and shoes and hats. stuff looks expensive, too.
"Is it a pop-tart?" I just cracked :D
Usually the boss isn't working the counter. their in their office doing other boss stuff.
+Michael Giles fucking finally, i thought i was the only one thinking this xD
+Michael Giles Which explains why the delivery guy was looking towards where the office would be.
+Michael Giles
That is _EXACTLY_ what I was thinking. She's the idiot in that add.
If you own the business, you do everything. If you're a manager, and get paid a few bucks above minimum wage, then sure, you sit in the office playing Candy Crush, I mean doing boss stuff.
***** Good point.
Has anyone here brought up the idea that these commercials are the very reason people don't like ads and block/avoid them whenever possible? Put all the agendas and poorly-thought-out-defensive-arguments aside for once because all that stuff is ultimately just a never-ending circle of distraction.
A few ads are genuinely funny the first time you see them, (if you're not trying to come up with content for a Cracked video) and so you might chuckle, or ever-so-slightly grin for a moment. But I'm pretty sure no commercial has any actual likeness to reality. Consider the people who come up with them--really think about it. They're not actually busy trying to push an agenda, at the very least not consciously, because their main focus is getting your money. They're trying to find some way to get people to nod along with the commercial and at least subconsciously think "yes, I should buy/do this thing because it aligns with things I like or believe". These are people who are desperate to advance in their given field, but also pretty arrogant because they give their audience zero credit. They are the ultimate of cynics (right behind insurance folks and anyone working in the judicial system) and hold everyone in contempt.
Every single commercial and advertisement is insulting in some way. The good ones hide it well. But they are targeted toward morons, because for advertisers everyone else in the world is an idiot to be manipulated.
Say that to Phil swift for flex tape
@@SaintGuillotine I sawed this boat in half!
How would the delivery guy know she's the boss anyway? She's not wearing any indication and is standing behind the register liek...
I died at "is it a pop tart?" Lmao
what i especially like about that whole Dove thing... Dove is owned by the same company (Unilever) Axe is... so yeah the same company which wants woman to be proud of their not super model bodies... made the Axe effect commercials in which *thousands* of woman with super model bodies, in bikinis no less run frantically to one guy on some beach...
Which is a demonstration that it has nothing to do with a political or ideological belief. It's all just catered marketing.
AtariMaxiToriyama of course it is... They don't give a fuck if they make women feel good about themselves, all they care about is profit
@@Selrisitai Yup
THIS. CAPITALISM DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU.
Ok, normally I only get a chuckle from these videos. But that poptart line actually got me good lol.
Whenever I walk into a cafe, I also assume whoever is at the counter is the boss.
I just assume its whoever is wearing a tank top.
uhm ohk
@@gamejunkie6519 The point here being that, if youre delivering a product and need a signature, you ask the cashier for the bosses signature. That isnt sexism, thats just, normal. He wouldve done the same if it was a dude.
And if the guy in the video is arguing the idea a woman is the boss is radical, or weird, then its REALLY picking at straws.
Love how they show the "husbands are stupid" stereotype at the very end then do their best to explain it away....
I can sense the fedoras coming.
MRAs scare easily but they will be back and in larger numbers
I own a fedora and it makes me extremely sad to see them associated with douchebaggery.
No need to discriminate against fedoras, equal rights for all hats!
Hmm?
Can we stop this? Forever?
"Hoo boy I bet this will really rile THE ENEMY. I can't wait to drink THEIR TEARS. Fedora fedora fedora."
It's so much less clever than you imagine.
6:05
I NEVER understood the "shock" thing in that ad.
You know the reason someone might ask the CASHIER where the boss is? Cause like 90% of those bosses are in a back room at a computer. I have vendors come up to me all the time and ask if I can phone a boss to sign for a package and I've had some vendors come up to my boss while he was walking around the store and ask him to phone a boss to sign for a package. Its not an uncommon question.
True, I was kinda thinking the same thing. The UPS dude isn't necessarily being sexist, he just has no clue who the boss is, lol.
This is TH-cam, you can't use logical thinking here! It's forbidden.
I think the point is how the commercial frames it. Like a "I *am* the boss! You go, girl!" kind of moment. Out of context it doesn't seem odd, but its just the way the ad makes it seem like it's a big deal
Thatposer444 Even in context its really stupid.
If you are a boss you shouldn't have to work up the courage or whatever to admit your the boss, you should just be like "yeah, thats me."
What he SHOULD have said and would have is,"I need someone to sign." Or,"I need to speak to a manager."
The word boss only appears in insane "ban bossy" campaigns. No I havent forgotten that shit.
I've be disappointed if it was beer and not cheese...
Well to be fair to the UPS guy the boss usually doesn't sit behind the front counter.
@Obscure Je t'aime Me too
@@Rex13013 In a small cafe, not that unusual
Oh, hey, a new Cracked video!

There's a sane portion of the internet?
Vince Noir
It's very, _very_ small and hard to find.
Did anyone check that last "men can't drive" ad. At the end it said, "Why we insure women only." Isn't that kind of sexist? I mean, for an insurance company, not covering someone over something like gender or sex is kind of discriminatory, right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any insurance company going, "We don't insure women because they're emotional train wrecks who are more concern about their looks than the safety of others."
Brandon Green A male only insurance company will never work because it will be protested into the ground before it got anywhere but a female only one is just fine and not sexist because of reasons I guess.
Brandon Green It is also sexism to charge men more for car insurance, because of statistics of men as a whole.
carultch and yet I got to pay more than my sister though she been in more accidents than me.
3 to 0.....
You know what's even more sexist. Men are charged more for car insurance until they turn 25 simply because they are men.
LockedClosed It's a hypothetical. He isn't actually intending to accuse women of anything.
Is it a pop tart?!😱 😂😂😂
Ironically, her box did contain a pop tart. That's why she was surprised.
The Dove commercial was not trying to make women look stupid. It was using the placebo effect to show that self confidence has nothing to do with how you look but how YOU perceive YOURSELF. People use the placebo effect all the time. How you guys didn't figure that out is kinda sad lol.
ChillsandThrills I think everyone figured that out, but the point they were making was that this particular placebo effect was so obvious that these women should never have fallen for it.
Gonna have to agree with Austin on this one, beauty patch makes no sense at all.
austininflorida but then that's their fault for falling for it, you'd be surprised what people with low self esteem will believe
austininflorida People tend to believe a lot of stupid things. That's why we have idiots championing for homeopathy and creationism in our medical and teaching professions and don't get me started on those that flitter away their cash on psychics and all that medium. The dove ad seems tame in comparason.
+ChillsandThrills Did you not see all the white girls
man, youtube comment sections are scary, scary places
I wonder what it says about our current society that people insist on arguing about every single thing? I choose to think of it, honestly, as a sign that individual autonomy is growing - people are finding it easier and easier to espouse and express their own personal views - although an argument could be made (and probably will be) for a widespread de-maturization (not a word but I'm using it anyway) of today's internet-using population.
Either way, I'll just sit on the sidelines watching and then run away when I get too frustrated. Ah, how I love the pure, unadulterated freedom of the internet~
Rose Petraev Fuck you. You are wrong and stoopid.
You know I'm right.
I disagree very strongly and will pretend like I know you and demean you when I can't think of anymore reasons to prove I'm right.
You additude towards this subject is very "feminine"
I like to use a simple test, before commenting: Is this a thing I would say in person, or, am I only typing it because I think I'll never meet (so-and-so) face-to-face?
I mean it could be because we'll likely never meet each other and because everyone is done with everyone's bs but yeah.
And that is why commercials are the worst thing in the world
Yup. Literal mid-control.
No no no, the worst thing in the world is a TH-cam ad immediately after a TH-cam ad, the person who came up with it should be shot dead
Like, the UPS guy just assumed the manager wouldn’t be working the counter. She also wasn’t wearing a name tag saying she was a manager, and she wasn’t wearing nicer clothes than the average worker, like most managers do
I FCKING DIED OVER “is it a poptart” AND I STILL DONT KNOW WHY
I got from Undertale is on crack to Cracked talking about stereotypes.
Blue_Panda Undertale sucks
I don't see how it is wrong asking the lady for the boss.
How is he supposed to know she is the boss? She might be just an employee.
+Remc0 Schedel yea really. whats he supposed to say? i really dont see what would be the "right" way to express that the boss needs to sign.
+Remc0 Schedel When I worked in a similar job, we were taught to simply ask the first person we spoke with if they were the boss. If they are, great. If not, they won't be offended, and will direct you to the correct person. But if you assume they aren't the boss, then whether or not they are, we have a problem.
+Czigot Yeah, I think the problem is he was looking at the others around her as if she couldn't be the boss.
^ yes that's because generally bosses are not standing behind the counter/front desk. they are in their office somewhere back while the salesman/saleswoman stands on the counter.
It's clearly shot to show him looking around for anyone that is not her, you don't need to be a film school major to figure that out....
The ad at the beginning keeps glitching and slows the whole thing down, ohh
Same
whenever you see it say video will play after advert it will keep buffering. TH-cam won't listen to is so cracked owe it to us to get it sorted.
"is it a pop tart?" 😂😂
I feel like the sneaking around to watch football thing is kind of accurate... Know quite a few others' relationships that were strained over that
7:51 on the left side of the poster...
"return baby to hospital"
I DIED 😂
4:25 "You cant just use slapstick comedy as a blank check to kill people!"
Yes. Yes you can.
“and hot ladies don’t think about that as much as you think” Buawhahahaha 😂🤣😩🤭 OMFG! Literally made me lol!
The problem with this kind of analysis, is that it comes from educated young people that have moved away from this stereotypical lifestyle and hangs out with other like-minded young people, and don't realize that unfortunately those ads do really represent what the VAS MAJORITY of consumers actually live like. From the pathetic and dumb football loving bros that hate their wives, to the one diminutional women that buy shoes and nail polish online, people really live like that. the majority of people. The ads are not wrong, you just moved away from their target audience. Be proud. Don't hate the ad, hate the consumers they are made for.
how about you don't hate anyone, because if the ads weren't relevant, no one would spend the time or money to make them
Because intellectual ambition takes us farther than contemptation with mediocricy
+Augusto Severini ooooh big words.
Augusto Severini or hate the minority who have no balls
In a way, I agree. I am often baffled by how dumb so many people are. But these comercials really shouldn't be catering to, normalizing or celebrating morons, even if they are the majority.
Cracked always hits it home.
And the point is...
appeal to the audience prejudice?
Awesome video! Loved it!
OMG this is brilliant, love the way you break down the commercials, hilarious and so on point!
I think the lesson here is that most human beings are actually stupid, after all, these adds exist because they sell products... so on a twisted level their content is vindicated. Capitalism, showing us what awful people we actually are.
Well, these ads exist because they matched some exec's vision of how people think.
*The majority of humans have shown signs of being stupid for 2000+ years. . but hey sadly enough this dumb species keeps breeding and moving along like nothings wrong*
Sadly dumb people and the less educated breed more
Sharon Mitchell Well, if smart people got off their lazy asses and picked up some slack, they could have lots of kids too. Ahh...but it's too hard for you people, huh? Think you have to be a multi-millionaire to have more than 2 kids, huh? At least dumb people aren't stupid enough to overthink their genes out of existence.
The comments, the comments... I weep for humanity
Pleasantly surprised by this channel. Was expecting g another wannabe but these guys walk the walk! Subscribed! ;)
Dove really just showed the placebo affect, can make any of us look dumb
*effect
Best line: "Is it a pop tart?"
Oh my god. The point of the Dove ad wasn't to insult women. It was to show them that beauty and confidence is in the mind, not the body. It's called placebo, DOB. I am disappointed.
Oh my god. The point of the Cracked video wasn't to point actual stereotypes or critique. It's called comedy. I am disappointed.
And they did this through implying that women are dumb enough to buy that a patch on their arm can give them confidence and beauty. The reason the placebo effect works is because there's a chance it might actually work again how dumb do you need to be to think you can become more beautiful via stickers?
I never take anything made by dove seriously. All their feminist feel good about yourself bullshit gets really annoying. And that "like a girl" ad gets to me the most. I mean it's just so freaking biased. I highly doubt that everyone they filmed acted like that. There must have been at least some manipulation involved. I mean if someone told me to pretend to fight like a girl I would definitely stop and ask them what they meant. I am a girl so I just don't ever even consider that stereotype of girls being lame and weak at fighting because it's so obviously untrue. I find it hard to believe that none of their subjects questioned this and just automatically went for the stereotype. It's just so unrealistic.
I recognize placebo as a real and at times difficult to overcome affect. It is generally though, a sign of ignorance. The "beauty patch" SOUNDS like a cootie shot. That shit is still going on.
You know who's a really bad driver? Toad.
lol youre so funny and insightful.i love these videos.
I'm glad I'm not the only guy disgusted by that Dove campaign. All beauty product ads take women for idiots, but Dove adds hypocrisy to the mix...
By pointing out that confidence us all in your head? And that a placebo can achieve that confidence with zero change to your physical appearance? I still dont get how this is insulting. Everyone can fall for a placebo
DriscolDevil there have been cases of even knowing its a placebo still has a beneficial effect from going through the motions of using something.
Showing someone falling for a placibo isnt an insult.
Also, picking not overweight and not disfigured people may well be intentional but a placebo will be less beneficial to those people who would be more likely to hace much deeper psychological issues about their appearance that a placebo wont negate.
If you go looking for things to be offended by in anything, you will find things. Well done
DriscolDevil I never said she knew it was a placebo I said placebos can work even if the person knows they are a placebo to make my point that 'falling' for a placebo isnt an insult.
So you are trying to say its a stereotype, in what way? the being emotional? are you trying to say no women would react that way when told they felt more confident in themself when their appearance didnt change? Most would feel emotion from that experience. Would you rather they did the advert and have the women say 'what the fuck ever, I dont care'?
And so can no advert show a woman crying, because you think its a 'stereotype'? If you start using that word for things people actualy do then you've made it lose all meaning
You want me to understand what the heck you are talking about then maybe you should explain your rational behind the things you say. What exactly makes you think the women In the ad had no idea what a placebo effect is? How exactly is it supposed to be a compliment?
The ad didnt show if they knew what the word placebo means, it showed them that they can feel more confident without changing their appearance. A company saying you dont need their products to feel confident...Yet you manage to complain about it?
Graeme Evans Don't you see the contradiction? You stated yourself "A company saying you don't need their products (...)". If you swallow that, your more gullible than the women portrayed in the ad. Dove ads are nothing but hypocritical bullshit hidden under some PSA front about self-confidence. They just want to appeal to women that are disgusted by typical beauty products, while they (Dove) are nothing but a branch of the company they pretend to criticize. THIS is why they take women for idiots, and THIS is why I am disgusted.
Unilever doesn't give a shit about women's self-esteem, they just wanna sell soap.
this is bullshit! why else would i practice making towers of cards if it wouldn't give me a hot date? I feel so lied to right now
6:53 'Is that a pop tart?'. Instant subscriber.
I've watched quite a few of your videos in the last couple of days. This one was my favorite. Hysterically funny. I laughed until I cried. Good job!
Their is a men's rights organization?! SIGN ME UP!
you know there just a bunch guys who are mad at women for having the right to children that came out of them and because they will not have sex will them.
You know what the shitty part about being a white male is? That no matter how shitty your life is or how low you are on the totem pole, people treat you like you've got some wonderful perfect life full of advantages. Like the white guy working near minimum wage flipping burgers has some great leg up on the woman who's a Senior Director of Marketing or some crap because he's the white guy and she's the woman. Because so many OTHER white guys who aren't him and don't know him from Adam have so much power and wealth. I think next time I'm at the supermarket and see one of the homeless white guys with a sign on a piece of cardboard saying "HOMELESS POOR PLEASE HELP", I'll just say "Hey buddy, it aint so bad. You've got white male privilege. At least you're not black or a woman or anything that unfortunate.
that white guy flipping burgers is a waste of white skin and most likely so are you.
yea we really should treat people as individuals not just assume oh youre white so you must be really lucky then
Actually that is not the case. It is straight, white, hetrosexual, middle class male. So yeah they are the ones who have it good.
SkkyKidd You don't undderstand what i'm saying

top ten most insightful. I cant find this commentary anywhere else on the inter web, thanks for that!
falling for a placebo effect doesnt make u gullible or stupid, it means your human
Is it just me, or is some of the sarcasm-but-not-really-sarcasm-except-for-the-part-where-there's-sarcasm in this video way too confusing to follow?
Maybe it's just me.
Also, in the first "bizarrely specific sexist stereotype," we see sexism against men, right? Then later on, mockery of the supposed men's rights movement. So....... which is it? Is there sexism or not?
hhhhhhhhhh. gender equality isn't just the empowerment of women, it is the equality between men and women, meaning men and women should be treated equally. men shouldn't be seen as stupid in commercials and neither should women
Omg, I HATE those "honestly" commercials. And now I hate that song too.
I love the style of this channel, keep doing your own thing!
I like how a sexist ad played before this video. It said something like "ladies be sure to tell your boyfriend that this movie is not the only awesome thing that will happen to him by the end of the night.

cj ls what's to plan? Four people are essential for registering a marriage. That's it. Anyone else who wants to show up can do that if they feel it's necessary. It's only necessary if they wish to show lawful impediment to the union.
i want it to be nice, not a shit show
cj ls You certainly like the word shit, don't you? There's no need to spend time, energy, resources and money on a show. The point of getting married is what happens after your day of showing off.
JE Hoyes it's for me not them, I like things to be nice, you obviously don't understand
Just shut up and come back when you understand
Building a house of cards takes patience, dedication, and good fine motor skills. That's three ticks in the pro column.
2 years after this video was released, Cracked now has nearly 10 times the subscribers it had in the outroduction to the video.
Cracked is becoming WatchMojo... and that's not a good thing. It means it's becoming crap.
The woman in the windows advert wasn’t the boss.
Plot twist
She was just a crazy employee and a compulsive liar.
I've honestly never understood the stereotype of the "miserable" husband/boyfriend shopping with his wife/girlfriend. I love going with my girlfriend anywhere, I thought that was like... the point lol
cracked's content is getting good.:)
6:54 Whose mother here would know what an SSD was? Show of hands. Exactly! What nerds and stock brokers here do? All of you?! Of course!
Yes. And it would be fine if it wasnt always some middle aged housewife mother. But it usually is.
My dad is literally the worst person to ask about anything computer, gadgets related things. He would never figure out how to use an SSD. so it's not just ''moms''.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of business men, who have no idea about SSDs. The get their tech from the IT, knowing about SSD ist not important for them? :D
My mom is actually really smart with computers and knows its basic terminology.
My mom is a bit of an outlier so she actually does. However she fits nearly all of the stereotypes and she's an outlier. Most stereotypes about women are true. You can't say the same for male stereotypes because men vary a lot more than women.
It's simple really. Privilege has a lot less to do with what is between your legs and what color any part of you is than it does where you were born and how much money belongs to the people who made you.
northdakotagamer EXACTLY!!!!!
northdakotagamer privilege is beauty and intelligence. Nothing else
Yeah ,but a white male born into a middle class family in the suburbs, and a black woman also born in the same family would still not have the amount of privilege.
northdakotagamer Yeah I completely agree. And I just wanna say as a general statement, women are not oppressed, and socially speaking I'm pretty sure they're the ones on top.
@@AnimeFreakish78 and money
The slow rhythmic group sex thing really cracked me up.
Remember folks, the power of advertising in media is a powerful powerful thing. Just because you claim to not be affected by some commercial, you're still affected by another commercial.
Lmao@ the comments. People are taking this video way too seriously.
We desperately need eguality on both sides, Women should get egual pay, and men should be treated with respect, people will have you believe that only women are mistreated, and that's bullshit. In addition, women shouldn't have to feel like they have to prove their worth, like, "Hey, look at me, I'm a CEO, and you have a shitty desk job." or "I could kick your ass in a fight.", that just make you seem like whiney overeacher, instead of a decent, respectful human being. Both men, and women should be treated fairly.
TheMightyCongueror but the wage gap is a lie
I'm so glad they only spent a couple of seconds on the creepy "guy is married to a strangely arousing puppet" ad. I used to have nightmares about that damn commercial.
This is probably my favorite spit take episode. Jack, I know you're busy being the president of cracked, but make more spit take!
I hate how in movies or ads that if a woman hits a man, she's defending herself. But if a man hits a woman, ooh boy, he is automatically the villain.
+Sinnamonie She's not always portrayed as defending herself. Sometimes she's just "sassy".
Ikr? It's stupid.
+Daniel is that really better? is "sassy" demon from hell the men get blanketed with
+Daniel It's not called being sassy, it's called being a violent bitch.
+Sinnamonie ikr. It's not always stereotypes. At a concert a few months ago I personally witnessed a small girl violently fighting with a large male security guard over a towel one of the band members threw into the audience.. after she practically mauled me and my friend (oh and i'm a guy too) my friend had to be taken to first aid.
Uuugh, people take stuff way too seriously.
The first few commercials were funny, but you saved the best for last.
Now I have coffee all over my monitor. Thanks a lot. I hope you're happy with yourselves.
that was enjoyable
And yet another strawman of the MRM at the end. I actually liked this video outside of that, though.
Great one of your videos! I have been keeping track of all the man bashing commercials I see...
I stopped counting at 2,374.
i love how comment sections on cracked videos always complain about "stop taking this shit seriously, stop talking about this, this is a useless video, why would you even make this"
its an entertainment channel. to entertain you. to give you things to watch in your spare time that are interesting and fun to watch. it takes various topics and discusses them. because that is fun and entertaining. because that is what cracked does. it doesn't have to have a purpose. no one is trying to change the world here. this is an entertainment channel. what part of this concept do you not understand
Being a straight white male IS pretty rough. I'm not allowed to watch Project Runway and everyone assumes I'm a bad dancer. Plus, all those opportunities and fair wages are seriously exhausting. Not to mention the fact that cops only pull me over when I'm actually doing something illegal... Now, if you'll excuse me, I really need to get back to running most of the planet.
You forgot to mention the sign that actually brings up an important subject.
Also:
1. The wage gap is a myth, different wages are based off of work hours, training, and education.
2. Opportunities strictly for being straight, white, or male are illegal, but ya know, affirmative action is legal for some reason.
3. Last I checked China and Japan were 2nd and 3rd for the economy, and three years ago Obama was US president, and he was only half white. 'most' of the world is run by Asians, they have a 3:1 number on all other races combined, and produce most of the world's goods, middle eastern countries control most of the world's oil... So unless you mean because the US and European countries buy a lot of stuff, that's like saying you control McDonalds cause they are nothing without consumers.
4. People of all races and sexes get pulled over for 'information picking' I've been stopped by cops for walking at night, then again I glow in the moonlight I'm so pale, it's probably my white privilege, they wanted to make sure I was ok!
God it's so hard to live life easy and start concentrating in problems harder to solve and possibly way less important than just plain old surviving
Yea that is pretty rough, it would be rougher if people thought you were racist because you're white too.
Man, being a male is pretty rough! I lose divorce settlements, get harsher prison sentences, experience toxic masculinity and double standards with what I can and can't do, experience more violence and attacks and more danger in the workplace. Woe is me.
You brought out all the fragility in all these super cool awesome hardcore manly dudes!
Commercials tend to portray men as spineless against their wives, and these spin doctors claim it's the women being persecuted.
Cracked used to have some good satire, is this all some sort of elaborate joke?
Who profits from this attitude? Think about that. The man is so stupid he can't do chores, so the woman does them for him and then he has free time to relax and watch TV. It absolutely is sexism. I got it from my own brother-he played so confused by simple chores I'd be forced to do them for him, because why should a man know how to do such things?
This was hysterically funny and on point. Good job discussing problems for both men and women.
love your channel! when my brain is full of the actual doom of 2017 I come to you to laugh it off. thank you for the stress release
Whoa, this video is actually funny
I was surprised too.
hahaha. Willy Seamon. xD
The dinosaurs in Jurassic Park wer FEMALE!
Thank god someone else picked up on that!
They aren't calling the dinosaur a bitch ... the little boy, and its actually pretty obvious so...
NATURE FOUND A WAY. NOTHING IS WRONG.
Your mom's female.
+Micah Beard That makes no sense...
Ads are like caricatures, they attract your attention using extreme methods that sometimes seem nuanced or disguised.
Thanks for giving me one of the best laughs I've had all day. 🤗
