The difference between Police Academy and real world cops is that in Police Academy there's not that big of a power dynamic and the cops were intergrated into the community.
I love how Dan's murder started as just the hypothetical to get the conversation going and it just kept getting more and more specific. He was dismembered, possibly multiple limbs but at the very least he was decapitated. It's believed to be the work of a serial killer, and his headless body was found in a dumpster.
I guess they didn't watch Hot Fuzz, the only other movie I can think of with an objectively good, successful police force that improves in quality from an already competent level without killing one criminal. Here is my evidence, feedback is welcome: 1. Simon Pegg's character Nicholas Angel is diligent, hard working, loyal to a fault, by the book and trained for years to be as effective as possible upholding the law within legal boundaries. While intense and arguably over-eager in response time and methods, he ALWAYS gets the job done without collateral damage to lives and little damage to property. Whenever something doesn't feel up to regulations or enough isn't being done, he is the first to speak against it and demand respect for law and order. 2. Before being promoted to Sargeant, Angel had already amassed a record arrest average in the Metropolitan police, literally the poster boy most fantasize about. That's why they sent him to Sanford, he was making the rest "look bad". In reality, such an individual would increase local trust in the police and inspire others to follow his example. Granted, he's not the best at teamwork but learns those values later. Even before that, he contributed greatly to stopping a drug ring, for which he received a medal. 3. He never disobeys his superiors, although he does disagree with them at points, and never endangers innocents. Even when taking it upon himself to bring down the corruption in the final act, he does so because he knows with certainty that everyone present (apart from the few judges who show up in one scene and are never shown getting hurt) is in on the conspiracy. He knows that the Metropolitan police wouldn't believe him and that the Neighborhood Watch would continue their crimes until they were stopped. Any officer who cared about human life, the very thing the law exists to protect, would have done the same for the greater good. And let's not pretend like laws have never been temporarily revoked or amended in real life under deserving circumstances. 4. While Hot Fuzz does fit the "buddy cop" genre, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost never go renegade to the point where they cause harm to fellow officers or unnecessarily break laws. Them taking action was necessary to stop the corruption before more people died, which they definitely would have otherwise. Not only do the two expose the truth to the previously fooled Sanford police and convince them to help, they do so as a well managed team following operative protocols and training. 5. Most importantly, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and company are shown DOING THEIR PAPERWORK for every criminal they apprehend. Police who reviewed the film commented themselves that this is almost never depicted and that they appreciated the attention to detail. Overall, the police in Hot Fuzz are ideal and effective far more so than in most movies or even real life.
Yeah the main issue with that is that you’d have to live in Sanford specifically. all the other cops are between normal and weird suburban murder cult.
Most of the police in the movie are somewhat competent, if a bit clueless. They're basically your regular british cops, and by God that would be an improvement here!
@Pedro They weren’t, actually. Remember they were being intentionally misled by their chief because he was the mastermind. When they all sided with Angel to assault the green grocer, they were an absolute unit.
I'm not sure, but I think Katie's delivery of the the 'sitting in convertibles licking jelly out of each others mouths' is one of the funniest moments of all After Hours.
Ok guys, i think i found the best police ever depicted in movies: Vegan Police from Scott Pilgrim 16 Seconds reaction time, they know exactly when you committed a chrime and why.
@@Dakarai_Knight True but it was only brought to public attention (or it at least stopped being ignored\accepted as much) somewhat recently. I'll be honest, living in England where they don't have guns, the murder they commit was rarely on my mind before, just the rare occasions when it was brought up in the news. Don't get me wrong there's still institutional biggotry that's been grandfathered into the whole system they just don't tend kill people on the streets.

@@williamnguyen8663 they started down that path then trailed off when they realized that cops are always recruited from all interested civilians. Cops are normal people.
Ignoring the obvious thing you're hinting about, I'd say it has aged quite alright. Most of After Hours has. You can still watch them and they don't feel outdated. (If we stop ignoring what you're saying, then I have no idea about this video)
I think it's actually amazingly on point for this very moment in history. By 6:14 they identify how the media teaches Americans that cops are supposed to be aggressive renegades whose rule-breaking is always justified.
qawsx56 Not to mention that the police department that he came from in the beginning of the movie just outright sent away the ONE cop that does a good job because he's making them all look back. They literally tell you that they are so concomitant that they find good cops a threat to the status quo!
qawsx56 That is odd. Hot Fuzz is already an intentional collection of cop movie tropes though. Maybe citing it would be a little to on the nose? It is an excellent flick.
There is one obvious and correct answer. LAST ACTION HERO! Every single cop in that precinct is part of a buddy cop duo, which obviously means that every single case gets solved. Bonus advantage of that precinct is the money saving. It's very likely that every cop in that movie gets killed a week before retirement, which means that there are no retirement costs.
"They forget to check if there's a bomb sewn inside one of the inmates." I mean...is that on the checklist? Frisk for weapons, take their belts away, *maybe* a cavity search, and check to see if their bellies are full of TNT?
If it was buried in the intestines or under the ribs, sure, easy to miss, but it’s a rectangle just under the skin. They should have felt a cell phone sized rectangle on his chest if they frisked him as well as you should when dealing with the joker
sad part is this isn't a new cause it's just finally hit a boiling point....I really hope good and lasting change happens and soon. i'm sickened by all the pointless death. and pain.
I might be uneducated but doesn’t defunding the police = less trained police? But I say demilitarization of the police is a pretty noble cause. SWAT Teams can burst into your home with assault rifles and shit with no warrant
Mike said it was a "hideous but deserved dismemberment..." So if it's deserved, then should we not just let bygones be bygones? I mean I love Dan...but I pose the question to you; if he were to, say...hmmm STOP making Obsessive Pop Culture Disorder perhaps...doesn't he deserve to be dismembered, and said parties to the crime relinquished of all wrong doings? I just wanna add in the fact that he leaves a tip for the toast he wasn't charged for. An upstanding citizen to say the least, but a casualty of war nevertheless...unless he punches out another OPCD...and SOON!
"When you heard the sirens did you notice were there lights on, or was he just opening his mouth?" "I forgot to check completely" "That's the first thing I check!" 2019 and I still can't even 😂😂😂
What about The Fugitive? Everyone in that movie openly admits the only reason they don't catch Kimble is because he's a freaking genius. And granted they're chasing the wrong guy the whole time, there was no evidence for the one-armed man. So unless the criminals leave absolutely no evidence behind, these guys are gonna be on top, with Tommy Lee Jones leading the way. And I mean, the Janitor in uniform is just too great to pass up. Also, when did Dan get his hair back?
what about the cops from the first Avengers movie? They've got a great response time, and actually get shit done. I mean, they actually listen to Cap and work with the Avengers instead of getting in their way.
Yeah, but they needed Cap to tell them how to do their jobs. In "Man of Steel", though, the cops (and the military) not only work *with* the heroes, but they can operate independently when they need to.
The empathy of Daniel tho and his opening response "Oooohohobo I don't like this" perfect. It went from unnecessary and surprising to a surmised "brutal" on to a simple "justified" Seriously- im weak
B99 is a bad pick bc unless you’re in Brooklyn when Dan is dismembered you’re screwed, just about everybody else is out of touch at best or actually corrupt at worst
Why Movie Cops Are Terrible At Their Jobs - goo.gl/JW7c5g If you really want to get the job done, forget the Gotham PD clown show. Call the Police Academy. Watch the whole damn thing right here! #itsavideomfers #AfterHours
***** Except they are super not good at the job. If you Dan-out on movies, you will notice they are only good at making people think they are good at the job. For starters, if they are so good at solving murders, why are they so bad at solving abductions? if time travel is a thing, and you have a series of missing people, why not travel back a week after someone goes missing and follow them, and eventually the kidnapers. for that matter, if time travel is a thing, if a crime is ever solved, then you could easily go back and prevent it. Also if you are going to use time-travel to kill people around "perfect" cops, go back and chemically castrate the parents. BOOM never alive. P.S. the gangsters look like they get away with murder and arson when they kill the wife.
Cracked Dragnet (the TV show) you have all the 1950's care for the middle class white guy, with out the corruption of most cop shows/movies, and with out the hijinks Police Academy. Also if you are going scifi, I never saw it, but isn't minority report like "the" answer.
But wait in Hot Fuzz they have the Metropolitan Police Service transfer their best officer to a place ,where supposedly no crime happens, for the sole reason of being too good, and the place he is transferred to have police so incompetent that they don't even question why so many people go missing or are accidentally killed.
Dr. Professor But that's just because Frank manipulated them and fed them lies, once Nicholas told them the truth they proved to be competents cops led by Sgt. -Angle- Angel himself.
Nicolas Angel would be great. But you might get literally anyone else. And everyone else in that department are lazy and incompetent and would just rule your murder off as an accident.
badarbiter that would be true before the movie but after it looks like angel kinda turned the place around especially since the neighbourhood watch was disbanded
As I was typing "Two words: Police Academy", Katie said Police Academy. Damn it, just when I think I've got the scoop on them, they think of the thing I think of.
And the only ones that solved the case is a rookie with 48h and a crook, the same job the ENTIRE dep. didn't accomplished in over 2 weeks. And just remmebr that Judy and Nick are associated with a Mafious Boss and uses a terrorist sheep to get the job done. The rest is lucky coincidence, for example the Night Howlers thing: judy grow in a farm, born form parentes too affraid to even leave their comfort zone, she does know about onions but not about the night howlers? Why did her perents told her THAT specific piece of information, about the nght howlers, when she needed for a case and not when she was a child? What if they told her just a moment too late, when the evil racist plan of the sheep was alredy accomplished and they got all predators caged or forced to wear a zap-collar?
TheJediDoc She did know about that vegetable, she didn't think they were onions, she just didn't know the slang name for them (because she had been raised on a farm and they used the proper names for vegetables) and her parents weren't the people that gave her that piece of information, Gideon Grey was. That aside, you act like two weeks is a long time for a case. It isn't, especially for a case so deep that the mayor was involved in the cover up. Judy got lucky, yes, but a lot of skill was involved also and she had only been working there a few days, can you imagine what she'd be like by the end of the movie as a full fledged officer with a highly observant, clever partner? Plus cops in real life use their connections, that's just common sense. That city was a highly safe city, that is why that case was such a big deal, because things like that don't happen in Zootopia because of their highly competent police force.
Galbotorix78 thats premeditated murder, ill have to apprehend you for his murder, all the evidence leads to you, that is that there is no evidence so yeah, *reads miranda rights and drives him down to the police station*
ME TOO! I JUST COMMENTED THAT! XD She's their best detective, so it's only natural that they'd give a case that inexplicable to the detective who stopped a scheming Keyser Soze-esque politician from engineering a full-scale race war she's been planning for years in like, a month, with no little to no resources aside from her intellect. She'd get shit done
Tim Boie Really? The Metropolitan police send Nicholas away because he's "too good" the Sandford police department are all incompetent and run by the leader of a crazy murder cult.
Tim Boie Wasn't that because of the fact that things had gotten bad without Angel/because of the media coverage? So either the entire department depends on one man to fight the cities crime or they are all media hungry whores?
0:22 -- "Protect and Serve" is a SLOGAN, not a directive, and ESPECIALLY not a law by any means. (It's like "Real Mayonnaise" - just a brand name, not really "real" by any standard of the word.) Therefore it's just a psychological stroke on the side of each police car and has nothing to do with the prosecution of their daily jobs, which *actually* involve accumulating revenue for their city through the apprehension and ticketing of citizens.
I've been enjoying going back through these videos and reading the newest comments. Some people get really pissed off at these videos. I rewatched the forest Gump video and the new comments where just hateful towards these people.
@@Placker8102 Its unfortunate but I am a longtime fan and a staunch opponent of gatekeeping/edition shaming. This is from a period in which people who enjoy Jordan and the current Cracked channel varieties might not understand how much the internet changed over the years... or people who hate the current content and make a point to make it everyone else's problem. It's unfortunate that the internet acts like this, but it is how it acts... can't sadly change it. But yeah... These are great to revisit... and I am glad you did.
AvangionQ Although, despite the fact that it's in the show (BBC's Sherlock) and not any of the movies, the police do a fairly good job. Only a few of the cases Sherlock and John solved were they employed by the police. A fair few of the cases they have solved were brought to them by clients, or even once or twice Mycroft (now that Im thinking about it, some of the cases Sherlock solved that the police could not were basically being "led" by Moriarty, and Moriarty's whole plan was to get Sherlock's attention). Either way, if you couldnt take Sherlock and John, the police force in the show is not half bad.
AvangionQ Holmes uses induction not deduction. A great article from a logics professor explaining the difference: logic.umwblogs.org/induction-and-deduction/
I was gonna go with M.R. As well, but the problem here is they arrest the wrong people sometimes. And that's like bad...like really really bad...like the life David Gale bad...
It's hard to enter Minority Report into this debate, since the argument presumes we're getting the force to deal with a murder that's already happened. Minority Report's whole thing is pre-crimes, stopping something that's GOING to happen. They're probably really terrible at dealing with post-crimes. Either way, it's similar to Person of Interest, which really explores how bad an idea the whole 'crime-predicting computer system' thing is. At best, you're just trading one set of problems for another by going with a prediction machine, and not necessarily in a way that's going to help stop a murder.
And even if they don't hire Shawn, there are a few times when the department is doing so well they don't need him. Or he'll just try solve it without begin asked.
I would never want Carlton Lassiter working my murder case. I love him when he's funny, but not as a cop. He thinks he has the right to treat anyone in the interrogation chair however he wants. He'd probably put the wrong guy in jail just because he looked at him wrong. He treats suspects like they're guilty until proven innocent and the person who murdered me gets off scott-free because he hates to be proven wrong and won't admit that he is.
Because you're white and the cops haven't been a source of fear in your life for as long as you can remember and this comment is the most privileged fucking comment you can make Jesus Christ
The Stanford Police Service from Hot Fuzz is the best answer. Not only are they willing to tackle both internal corruption, but the secret cabal of devious seniors running their town. And not only that, but also the paperwork is gonna be handled perfectly
Who from Law & Order would you actually want to investigate? I'm torn between Goren and Eams from L&O:CI and Briscoe and Green from the original. Even though I lean to the latter because the case would then be trialed by Jack McCoy, who is one if not the best working at the DA's office.
***** Actually, I doubt the would solve it, there are not enough Judges for the amount of crime and the city far too large to solve every crime. The judges would probably only investigate if it is a serial killer or would other wise disturb the society.
***** Since the mention stuff like the Noir genre, I assumed the whole setting would be that of the cops. If it would be indeed our world, then I would expect a revolution against those cops, and thus even less espect them to solve the death.
***** And there is a good chance that, as long as your murderer wasn't an Omnicorp executive (and maybe even if it was) Robocop himself WOULD be on your case.
***** also the cops in that movie are in bed with a super powerful weapons making company that allows a experimental war machine (also known as robo cop) onto the force with little supervision.
I was gonna say... Can we just talk about the circumference of Daniel's arms right now? Soren was in the midst of calling him a nerd, as per usual, and I swear I saw a pec flex. Lil' bicep action... Forearms rippling with testicular fortitude... What were we talking about? :3
Poodlekisses Dan has always been sexy (i.e. the Halloween episode). It's just been more obvious since he's decided to wear t-shirts with shorter sleeves that cling oh so nicely to his thick, meaty biceps.
Zedfinite because back before microwave meals were a super popular thing, a cop could stop at a diner or gas station grab a donut and not be waiting for his meal if a call went out. it was a quick easy filling option that could provide a burst of energy needed if something went down.
The answer has to be die hard right? The response time is on point after Carl Winslow calls for back up after his car was turned into “Swiss cheese” lol
***** I said redhead because her hair is red, doesn't matter if it's natural. Just like a blonde can go brunette, she went red. Or should I sound like a child and say "the girl with red hair" She's obviously not naturally a redhead, but she's still a redhead because her hair is frigging red.
+Haret Opah 1. Unless her name is also Katie, he's talking about the waitress, not Willert (not that Willert is bad looking). 2. I assume you mean "objectifying". If you are going to criticize, get your shit together. 3. Finding someone attractive is not objectifying. You might want to consult a dictionary. 4. He didn't even say he found her attractive, he said she was "distracting". Maybe he means literally distracting.
That whole "Dan has been horribly murdered" thing makes me wish I had friends who'd all seamlessly go along with an improvised bit.
The difference between Police Academy and real world cops is that in Police Academy there's not that big of a power dynamic and the cops were intergrated into the community.

"That's the first thing I check!"
2019 and I still can't even 😂😂😂
FINALLY! After hours is why I subscribed to Cracked. We need more!
Finally I love your after hours videos they're the reason why I subscribed.
Me too
Evilynn Goodwin samesies
Evilynn Goodwin Yeah it's the only Cracked show I've really been able to get into and/or consistently watch.
Me too
What about The Fugitive? Everyone in that movie openly admits the only reason they don't catch Kimble is because he's a freaking genius. And granted they're chasing the wrong guy the whole time, there was no evidence for the one-armed man. So unless the criminals leave absolutely no evidence behind, these guys are gonna be on top, with Tommy Lee Jones leading the way. And I mean, the Janitor in uniform is just too great to pass up.
Also, when did Dan get his hair back?
Good movie, Katie. Police Academy got you the point.
Daniel: 18
Soren: 13
Katie: 15
Michael: 18
what about the cops from the first Avengers movie? They've got a great response time, and actually get shit done. I mean, they actually listen to Cap and work with the Avengers instead of getting in their way.
Madi Zehring yeah, the only good ones from a superhero movie I've ever seen
No wonder the cities get repaired so quickly and easily
Yeah, but they needed Cap to tell them how to do their jobs. In "Man of Steel", though, the cops (and the military) not only work *with* the heroes, but they can operate independently when they need to.
Wouldn't the police in Avengers technically also be the police from X-men...
@@yaloolah42 nope, different universe
The empathy of Daniel tho and his opening response "Oooohohobo I don't like this" perfect. It went from unnecessary and surprising to a surmised "brutal" on to a simple "justified"
Seriously- im weak
Brooklyn Nine Nine or the Santa Barbara Police Department. From Psych.
I was thinking that to
The Psych part btw
B99 is a bad pick bc unless you’re in Brooklyn when Dan is dismembered you’re screwed, just about everybody else is out of touch at best or actually corrupt at worst
Why Movie Cops Are Terrible At Their Jobs - goo.gl/JW7c5g
If you really want to get the job done, forget the Gotham PD clown show. Call the Police Academy. Watch the whole damn thing right here! #itsavideomfers #AfterHours
***** Except they are super not good at the job. If you Dan-out on movies, you will notice they are only good at making people think they are good at the job. For starters, if they are so good at solving murders, why are they so bad at solving abductions? if time travel is a thing, and you have a series of missing people, why not travel back a week after someone goes missing and follow them, and eventually the kidnapers. for that matter, if time travel is a thing, if a crime is ever solved, then you could easily go back and prevent it.
Also if you are going to use time-travel to kill people around "perfect" cops, go back and chemically castrate the parents. BOOM never alive.
P.S. the gangsters look like they get away with murder and arson when they kill the wife.
Cracked Dragnet (the TV show) you have all the 1950's care for the middle class white guy, with out the corruption of most cop shows/movies, and with out the hijinks Police Academy.
Also if you are going scifi, I never saw it, but isn't minority report like "the" answer.
If we can pick TV cops then why not the detectives form "Law and Order". They always find the rapist or murderer. "Bones" if we can have two options.
Cracked you guys forget, there is a lot of hong kong movie that have competence police force... especially if they are staring jackie chan.
Cracked The judges from dredd are my choice
Rewatching these just 5 years later, I have to say so many of these hit so much different today.
sorens beginning argument has not aged well
Alternatively, Soren is intentionally the hyper-masculine voice of the establishment, and his beginning argument as parody has aged very well.
I was looking for this comment I'm so glad it's here
8:36 Soren: "Who wrote this f* script?!" 0:19 'Written by Soren Bowie'
Hot Fuzz. Case closed!
Motherfucking yes.
little hand says its time to rock'n'roll
But wait in Hot Fuzz they have the Metropolitan Police Service transfer their best officer to a place ,where supposedly no crime happens, for the sole reason of being too good, and the place he is transferred to have police so incompetent that they don't even question why so many people go missing or are accidentally killed.
Dr. Professor But that's just because Frank manipulated them and fed them lies, once Nicholas told them the truth they proved to be competents cops led by Sgt. -Angle- Angel himself.
Then we're talking post-movie where they're doing 180s in the street and bringing the noise.
This episode aged interestingly.
MARTHA? WHY DID YOU SAY MARTHA!?
It was Marta..lol
This aged like fine wine
"severed heads can't talk" - _Swaimy, 2016_
It's a TV show, not a movie, but surely you'd want the Brooklyn 99? Always get the job done.
this aged like fine wine ACAB
katie said acab
we stan our queen katie ✨🧚♂️
well,,, let's just say it ain't just movie cops anymore
4:02 man stirs invisible pot
Lol what shitty acting
Chuck Norris or or or... GENIUS ACTING
***** I'm pretty sure that's the grill and he's putting some spice on whatever he's cooking.
*****
He never got the pot he wanted for Christmas, of course his mind is going to disassociate and pretend the pot is there with him.
***** The pot thickens?
It's simple... Hot fuzz. Case closed
Nicolas Angel would be great. But you might get literally anyone else. And everyone else in that department are lazy and incompetent and would just rule your murder off as an accident.
badarbiter that would be true before the movie but after it looks like angel kinda turned the place around especially since the neighbourhood watch was disbanded
As I was typing "Two words: Police Academy", Katie said Police Academy. Damn it, just when I think I've got the scoop on them, they think of the thing I think of.
I want the law and order team on my case
I want the police force from Zootopia tbh
Nah they're all really racist
***** Did you not watch the end of the movie? The whole point was that they broke the sterotypes and hired Nick and respected Judy.
+Lima Bean dosent get past the fact that the entire force is really under representedn
And the only ones that solved the case is a rookie with 48h and a crook, the same job the ENTIRE dep. didn't accomplished in over 2 weeks. And just remmebr that Judy and Nick are associated with a Mafious Boss and uses a terrorist sheep to get the job done. The rest is lucky coincidence, for example the Night Howlers thing: judy grow in a farm, born form parentes too affraid to even leave their comfort zone, she does know about onions but not about the night howlers? Why did her perents told her THAT specific piece of information, about the nght howlers, when she needed for a case and not when she was a child? What if they told her just a moment too late, when the evil racist plan of the sheep was alredy accomplished and they got all predators caged or forced to wear a zap-collar?
TheJediDoc She did know about that vegetable, she didn't think they were onions, she just didn't know the slang name for them (because she had been raised on a farm and they used the proper names for vegetables) and her parents weren't the people that gave her that piece of information, Gideon Grey was. That aside, you act like two weeks is a long time for a case. It isn't, especially for a case so deep that the mayor was involved in the cover up. Judy got lucky, yes, but a lot of skill was involved also and she had only been working there a few days, can you imagine what she'd be like by the end of the movie as a full fledged officer with a highly observant, clever partner? Plus cops in real life use their connections, that's just common sense.
That city was a highly safe city, that is why that case was such a big deal, because things like that don't happen in Zootopia because of their highly competent police force.
Waited for this all month. Thank you.
Sorry
Galbotorix78 thats premeditated murder, ill have to apprehend you for his murder, all the evidence leads to you, that is that there is no evidence so yeah, *reads miranda rights and drives him down to the police station*
I laugh so hard when Soren accused Katie of killing Dan, and then Dan's reaction.
Judy Hopps, thats the cop I'd want to lead the investigation of my murder.
ME TOO! I JUST COMMENTED THAT! XD She's their best detective, so it's only natural that they'd give a case that inexplicable to the detective who stopped a scheming Keyser Soze-esque politician from engineering a full-scale race war she's been planning for years in like, a month, with no little to no resources aside from her intellect. She'd get shit done
This is when Katie fits most into the Raphael role
Man, I miss these guys...
Yay, new episode at the exact right moment. Under 301 club unite!
You forgtot HOT FUZZ!!!
Tim Boie think they were focusing an american cops
Tim Boie Really? The Metropolitan police send Nicholas away because he's "too good" the Sandford police department are all incompetent and run by the leader of a crazy murder cult.
but they learned quickly afterwards - after the movie ends they become competent :)
Tim Boie Wasn't that because of the fact that things had gotten bad without Angel/because of the media coverage? So either the entire department depends on one man to fight the cities crime or they are all media hungry whores?
TheZombielayer Then what about Dragnet? :O
Katie be living in 2020!
Police department from Monty python and the holy grail?
Good one. lol
Cuckleberry Finn true.
0:22 -- "Protect and Serve" is a SLOGAN, not a directive, and ESPECIALLY not a law by any means. (It's like "Real Mayonnaise" - just a brand name, not really "real" by any standard of the word.) Therefore it's just a psychological stroke on the side of each police car and has nothing to do with the prosecution of their daily jobs, which *actually* involve accumulating revenue for their city through the apprehension and ticketing of citizens.
Murdoch Mysteries. Clever deductions, impeccably well-dressed and polite policemen, crimes solved in all but 40 minutes (usually).
Ah, Katie. She may not be able to travel back in time without being seen as a witch, but she sure knows how to predict the future like one.
I've been enjoying going back through these videos and reading the newest comments. Some people get really pissed off at these videos. I rewatched the forest Gump video and the new comments where just hateful towards these people.
@@Placker8102 Its unfortunate but I am a longtime fan and a staunch opponent of gatekeeping/edition shaming. This is from a period in which people who enjoy Jordan and the current Cracked channel varieties might not understand how much the internet changed over the years... or people who hate the current content and make a point to make it everyone else's problem. It's unfortunate that the internet acts like this, but it is how it acts... can't sadly change it. But yeah... These are great to revisit... and I am glad you did.
The Police department from Sherlock Holmes. If I'm lucky I'll get Sherlock.
dragongirl37582 SAAME!!
dragongirl37582 yeah but then the case wouldnt be solved by the police. That sems like outside the rules of the argument.
lol you better make your case really interesting.
isn't sherlock a private detective
Northychen
The police department themselves seem competent not dumbed down or made the enemy so I'm with whoever.
Am I the only one that's absolutely in love with that redhead in the background?
Nope. Absolutely beautiful woman. I gaze at her every time they show her.
Growing up watching cracked I thought I was Michael now I realize I’ve been Daniel all along
Watching this in 2020 hits different
ACAB
I was gonna post this exact comment! ACAB
yasss! Still waiting for "Why the After Hours Universe is Secretly Terrifying" tho
this is a great episode in 2020
1:26 I love Soran's reaction here. It's like, whatever. 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
"Sittin' in their convertibles, lickin' jelly out of each other's mouths"
God, I love that line, and Katie's perfect delivery thereof.
You guys need to post more After Hours.
If you count them as police, I think the Men in Black are a good example of a competent police force.
Sherlock Holmes and Watson are the ideal choice aren't they?
Brandinnoo No, you get the department.
And they're not technically "police".
Brandinnoo The cops in the Sherlock movies tended to be incompetent, allowing Sherlock to shine via deductive reasoning and evidence gathering skills.
AvangionQ Although, despite the fact that it's in the show (BBC's Sherlock) and not any of the movies, the police do a fairly good job. Only a few of the cases Sherlock and John solved were they employed by the police. A fair few of the cases they have solved were brought to them by clients, or even once or twice Mycroft (now that Im thinking about it, some of the cases Sherlock solved that the police could not were basically being "led" by Moriarty, and Moriarty's whole plan was to get Sherlock's attention). Either way, if you couldnt take Sherlock and John, the police force in the show is not half bad.
AvangionQ Holmes uses induction not deduction. A great article from a logics professor explaining the difference: logic.umwblogs.org/induction-and-deduction/
MaT1cus I thought they were considered a private company which would make them a two man department.
Up there with one of my favorite channels. Great quality every time.
this aged like milky wine lmao
@C@B
minority report
I was gonna go with M.R. As well, but the problem here is they arrest the wrong people sometimes. And that's like bad...like really really bad...like the life David Gale bad...
It's hard to enter Minority Report into this debate, since the argument presumes we're getting the force to deal with a murder that's already happened. Minority Report's whole thing is pre-crimes, stopping something that's GOING to happen. They're probably really terrible at dealing with post-crimes.
Either way, it's similar to Person of Interest, which really explores how bad an idea the whole 'crime-predicting computer system' thing is. At best, you're just trading one set of problems for another by going with a prediction machine, and not necessarily in a way that's going to help stop a murder.
Steven Yanis Plus you have no freedom of privacy but I guess the saying is true; you can have freedom or security, but you're not getting both.
Steven Yanis And they were corrupt.
*****
I know its not a movie but how about the department from psych, assuming they hire Shawn spencer
And even if they don't hire Shawn, there are a few times when the department is doing so well they don't need him. Or he'll just try solve it without begin asked.
I would never want Carlton Lassiter working my murder case. I love him when he's funny, but not as a cop. He thinks he has the right to treat anyone in the interrogation chair however he wants. He'd probably put the wrong guy in jail just because he looked at him wrong. He treats suspects like they're guilty until proven innocent and the person who murdered me gets off scott-free because he hates to be proven wrong and won't admit that he is.
Theres a movie thats coming out in a couple days!
No mention of robocop?
General police force.
Bilbo baggins That city was almost a lost cause, gang armies running around ...
Bilbo baggins a corporation owned a cop.
The Wolf Oh like todays police 0.0
Hey stated that you can't hand pick the cop you are picking the whole department not just Robocop
Yeaaaaah... Watching this in 2020 hits different
Because you're white and the cops haven't been a source of fear in your life for as long as you can remember and this comment is the most privileged fucking comment you can make Jesus Christ
The Stanford Police Service from Hot Fuzz is the best answer. Not only are they willing to tackle both internal corruption, but the secret cabal of devious seniors running their town. And not only that, but also the paperwork is gonna be handled perfectly
Cracked was woke before woke WAS woke
Any Movie? Not sure. Any TV show? Law & Order hands down.
Who from Law & Order would you actually want to investigate? I'm torn between Goren and Eams from L&O:CI and Briscoe and Green from the original. Even though I lean to the latter because the case would then be trialed by Jack McCoy, who is one if not the best working at the DA's office.
DUN DUN
How about the Judges from Judge Dredd?
They got future tech, psychic cops, and they ARE the Law.
plucas1 And they are quite fascist/totalitarian, I don't want to live in a society with such a law enforcement.
***** Actually, I doubt the would solve it, there are not enough Judges for the amount of crime and the city far too large to solve every crime. The judges would probably only investigate if it is a serial killer or would other wise disturb the society.
***** Since the mention stuff like the Noir genre, I assumed the whole setting would be that of the cops. If it would be indeed our world, then I would expect a revolution against those cops, and thus even less espect them to solve the death.
plucas1 I mean they just avoid trial all together and can just execute perpetrators on the spot.
plucas1 Forgetting about Dredd, 3 years in isolation cubes!
I love coming back to these old videos knowing that Daniel writes for John Oliver
Who wrote Katie’s lines. That jelly licking line is outstanding 😅
Soren wrote this one! They just talked about it on the QQ podcast
most of the cops in robocop seem to do their job the best they can under the cirectistances
***** Do they? They managed to let the criminals grow up to army size, can't send reinforcement in time for shit, are underpaid and undermanned...
***** And there is a good chance that, as long as your murderer wasn't an Omnicorp executive (and maybe even if it was) Robocop himself WOULD be on your case.
Gargamel Le Noir
under the circumstances of working in a version of Detroit that frank miller would call over the top, ya they do the best they can
***** also the cops in that movie are in bed with a super powerful weapons making company that allows a experimental war machine (also known as robo cop) onto the force with little supervision.
***** Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner!
Dan is just getting hotter and hotter IMO and sorin still just as hot as before lol also I would cost Paul blart to solve my murder just sayin
I was gonna say... Can we just talk about the circumference of Daniel's arms right now? Soren was in the midst of calling him a nerd, as per usual, and I swear I saw a pec flex. Lil' bicep action... Forearms rippling with testicular fortitude...
What were we talking about? :3
As if he wasn't sexy before, he's turning into my nerdy dreamboy
Poodlekisses if i could 1+ that more than once i would lol
Poodlekisses Dan has always been sexy (i.e. the Halloween episode). It's just been more obvious since he's decided to wear t-shirts with shorter sleeves that cling oh so nicely to his thick, meaty biceps.
TheQuinofhearts yeah thats when i first noticed it but yeah those sleeves fit so nicely lol
Katie said ACAB before it was popular
hearing Abe in the outtakes say “Soren script.” 😌
This is my favorite show on the internet.
Minority Report :O ... doe's that mean that he'd still be alive?
There's still no explanation of the cliche of why cops love donuts.
Zedfinite because back before microwave meals were a super popular thing, a cop could stop at a diner or gas station grab a donut and not be waiting for his meal if a call went out. it was a quick easy filling option that could provide a burst of energy needed if something went down.
Zedfinite I think in USA most cops' job is pretty much just to be seen, with that workload and always being outside, you might as well eat donuts.
shunkaha that and also donut shops were open 24/7 so they could get food at any time even during the midnight shift
that to Samantha Fish
Zedfinite Mostly because donut shops give the cops free food.
If they included tv shows; the obvious answer is Reno 911
they are shitty but hilariously shitty and get my vote for president/god. all of em lol
Scotland yard from Sherlock Holmes
Nope, Special Victims Unit *DUN DUN*
Brooklyn nine nine
Reno 911: Miami Take-down
The two people in the background are the best part . I kept waiting for something to happen.
The answer has to be die hard right? The response time is on point after Carl Winslow calls for back up after his car was turned into “Swiss cheese” lol
Well here is cracked coming up with today's solutions years in advance.
That redhead in the background is quite distracting.
IGalactic I I spent a lot of this episode wondering how boring it must have been to pretend to work in the background of the whole episode
***** I said redhead because her hair is red, doesn't matter if it's natural. Just like a blonde can go brunette, she went red. Or should I sound like a child and say "the girl with red hair" She's obviously not naturally a redhead, but she's still a redhead because her hair is frigging red.
IGalactic I Pleasantly distracting.
her name is katie why are you objecting her jeesh😒
+Haret Opah
1. Unless her name is also Katie, he's talking about the waitress, not Willert (not that Willert is bad looking).
2. I assume you mean "objectifying". If you are going to criticize, get your shit together.
3. Finding someone attractive is not objectifying. You might want to consult a dictionary.
4. He didn't even say he found her attractive, he said she was "distracting". Maybe he means literally distracting.
hot fuzz as the department is so small i would be guaranteed to get the good policemen.
The opening misunderstanding joke is still a stone cold classic.
The correct answer is the Central City PD. Solid, effective, honest detectives, plus the lead CSI is both a supergenius and a superhero.
