Hey, a lot of the video series ended up getting made independantly.... Swaim and the Gang are at Small Beans making a bunch of the same type of stuff... and Some News is actually being made by the same guys on youtube now.
The content that was being made on Cracked Video is still very much being made, or at least in a similar vein with the same people.
Because of Cracked, I believed I could make money writing on the internet. Because of Cracked, I know that I should keep my day job.
If you don't want to work on contract and have to find new jobs regularly, yes, keep your day job. The writers you love at cracked went out and found new gigs and lots of them are doing great. Dan O'Brien is writing for John Oliver now. If you want to be a professional writer, YOU CAN DO THE THING. I believe in you.
Don't let whatever they went through happen to you, man. If you really want to do it, you Should do it. If you're good at it, the risk is worth it. Trust me, I'm a "wannabee" writer myself, and I refuse to believe that it'll never happen. As soon as you accept that, you're done. Stay true to your course, my friend, and land shall eventually show its beautiful face. I believe in you, and so should you.
Same here!
Sheep
Those motherf*ckrs.
After Hours was actually the best.
Cracked tv was better
DOB and Michael are the fucking best. After hours was just so well made and deeply researched.
Agents of Cracked was best.
Most of the members of After Hours and the rest of their youtube channel has formed Small Beans.
@@ThatDangBee I came to say the same thing
I loved "Honest ads." From Roger.
Roger Horton was one of the best parts of Cracked, for sure.
Adam ruins everything took off because of the lull in Cracked's content.
Me too
@@Hulbetley thats sad.
He was my favourite
@@marissabones mines too
Best was OPCD with Daniel "the maniel" O'brian.
"The Lion"
Mr Rogers breakdancing appreciation, and Christopher Lee Norwegian Death Metal.
One of the best episodes of OPCD.
After Hours is Life.
Daniel is my favorite, he's so adorable
Deenie o' Beenie
Man I read a lot of Cracked from 2011-2014. Some of those articles were actually really interesting. But at some point the articles got weaker and weaker
Seanbaby was consistently the funniest writer
@@ghaleon1103 Seanbaby is a wild Man for sure. Dude is hilarious. You could tell the other writers had a respectful awe about him, when they did their collab fantasy stories, he was always some presence they had no idea what would happen from except something MMAish. He was on Brockway's level for being crazy hilarious.
@@ghaleon1103 Dick whiskey Drunk Cop Comics were great.
"That Old Guy" is Roger, by the way.......
The Cracked video team are some of the loveliest humans I've ever met. I met them at a con and had them sign the After Hours poster they used to sell in their merch store. And they were the same engaging, friendly geeks that they are in their videos in real life. Jack even made special arrangements for me to meet up with them because DOB hadn't been able to stay for the meet and greet.
I didn't expect them to show up, but they did and they talked with my friend and I in a nearly empty auditorium for almost an hour.
They were at the same convention the next year and not only did they remember me, but Soren paid for my lemonade when we all wound up in line at the same drink stand. (I waved at them, but gave them space because I didn't want to be a weird stalker fan girl) Katie initiated conversation with me and said they remembered me from the year before. Just super nice people.
Cody Johnston lives in a parallel world where nothing the left does is a bad thing. He is delusional and does a lot of damage control to defend criminals and liars.
cool af if real
I would love to meet the madman that is Chris Bucholz
They let go of Honest Commercials. I loved that show
it’s back now
@@f.b.lagent1113 oh yeah I saw 😁👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I loved After Hours. All four of the actors were so hilarious. Everything on After Hours was poignant, interesting, and really compelling. Daniel O’Brien is one of the hottest guys on the entire internet.
QUEAR! GENERATION QUEAR!
I still rewatch them, and even the Off-Hours stuff from Small Beans, But, my understanding is that After Hours was _remarkably_ expensive to produce. Shooting was a pain because it was on-site but throughout the night. Writing one episode was roughly like writing 4 articles, or at least a couple long ones. The animation and collecting clips required a lot post-shoot time.
*Obsessive Pop-culture Disorder* and *honest ads* are STILL some of my favorite TH-cam videos.
Honest Ads is back -- I think they have a dedicated channel now.
OPCD wouldn't be the same without DOB's voice, and DOB is off winning Emmys writing with John Oliver, tho.
I didn't know it died. I thought TH-cam just stopped throwing it my way.
Company: "wow this (fill in the blank) is pretty popular/making money. Let's buy it, put money into it, and then change it a bunch to the point where its no longer the same, because we obviously know how to make money better than this already successful (fill in the blank)."
*(fill in the blank) dies*
Company: "what went wrong?"
Whenever a company invests in any sort of company that is successful primarely because of creativity, even if it is just a company of one, they should always allow them to retain complete creative control, as that shall generally allow the invested in company to make the most money both for themselves and the company that invested in them. There are exceptions of coarse, but unless the invested in company is actually starting to decline in profits by any degree more severe than slightly, the directly corresponding investor should typically allow them to keep doing their own thing.
@@dustwarewolf5532 pretty much

This is the story of so many small successful ventures.
If you really want to build something and leave a legacy don't be so quick to sell out when money comes a knocking
Seen it with restaurants
I'll always miss After Hours. That group was my surrogate family/friends. I'd look forward to every month when they release a new video. They got me through many long years.
I loved after hours and more news. Thank god cody made a youtube channel called even more news that shit is great
This is the first nice thing I've heard from Cracked in a while. I got randomly given a Some More News vid in my feed and really enjoyed it. I'd been checking on the Cracked channel weekly and couldn't figure out why it was never updated again. Thanks for that hint, dude.

I miss After Hours terribly.
Mousey Publishings - you...you know you don’t have to pick just one of them right?
except he is not reporting news, throws the constiution out the window and just makes shit up. He's just an asshole.
You didn’t mention Some News. Since Cody spun himself off, it’s been doing great
Agreed. It's much better under his exclusive control anyway.
@@jordan4270 "god i fucking hate the left"
Dude, grow up. Neither idolizing nor villifying people or a group of people is a sensible thing to do.
lol that shit is political bias nonsense most of which is disingenuous at best and blatant lies at worst.
Some News is pretty good. I like the views on the subject matter, but the attempts at humor are cringey and Cody's constant yelling and negativity is near-unbearable
@@zephirol4638 it's absolute dog shit.
I used to LOVE cracked, read it every day and watched all the videos. (Read the cracked article on Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, funniest article I ever read)
And then they went all buzzfeed and fired half its staff. RIP
I really didn't think I was ever going back onto Cracked but I'm glad I did just for that article. Thank you.
The ones that, historically, I remember most fondly were the social experiment using The Sims 3, Chrostopher Lee's description page, and Dan O'Brien's visit to the large hadron collider.
Ah man, good times.
KorriTimigan
I think I remember the sims 3 one lol. I forgot about it until you brought it up. Yeah Cracked had some amazing articles, some really top notch stuff back in the day.
One of my favorites was when they explained why Glenda the Good Witch was actually the main villain in The Wizard of Oz.
Sims 3 one was seanbaby. He almost always good. Robert Brockway was great, too. Chrono Trigger: Benders of Time, Trippers of Balls is one I remember to this day. Just tried to look it up, their formatting or whatever has destroyed it, though. And the Ads! Jesus Christ, the ads! And I guess you have to subscribe to comment now? Ugh. But I digress.
Brendan McGinley was the best, though. Man, I wish it was all still good.
@@YouaNumbahOneRacist I guess that time is over, but it seems like most people here still have fond menories from it.
At the very least, their content is still available, even if not in all its glory.
I remember on day I noticed I hadn't watched a Cracked video in awhile and thought maybe TH-cam unsubscribed me or something. When I checked their page, I saw they hadn't released anything in about 3 months and when I looked into it I read the video department was fired: sad really.
I still rewatch after hours. Hope they bring it back or something like it now that the channel is active again.
I loved the Honest Commercials. Still rewatch them to this day. Would like to know if the guy who made them has his own comedy channel on TH-cam.
Season 2 of People Watching was crowdfunded. The campaign finished just before they laid off the video department, which is why they are (or were) still coming out.
Also, you should totally have hired the Honest Commercials guy to do a 30 second ad at the end of your video.
People watching is actually awesome
Was subnormality part of cracked tho? I thought it was just where they upoloaded people watching for non Canadian based users
@@beamerball666 I believe so. When you go to the Subnormality website you can see an advertisement for People Watching.
Absolutely loved cracked and the writers that worked for them so much. Daniel O’Brien is my fav! Missed the laughs and facts and live chats a lot! Thank you for this subject I’m very interested In this one
He actually writes for Last Week Tonight now.
BTW Look up Small Beans on Patreon. They still do the live chats and make content.
Cody is still working on Some More News, it's good to hear that Dan is on LWT.
DoB writes for Bunny Ears and free Lance's. Michael Swaim has the 'Small beans' Pod cast network and Adam Todd Browns has his Unpopular opinion podcast network. All fantastic.
Jack O'Brien has a podcast network as well, but I forget what it's called.
If you were a fan of Cracked, listen to small beans and do your own research. This video is full of guesswork and bad takes. Fuck this guy.
I used to love Cracked, I'd read at least an article a day and even put in a few myself (they weren't accepted, but they were really nice about it) but every time I go there now, it's just sad...
This video reminded me to unsubscribe from them

I had forgotten I was subscribed to them.
You reminded me to unsubscribe from them.

"That old guy?" Seriously?
You will be there soon enough. Have some respect.
His name: Jack Hunter (aka Roger Horton).
Do some research.
Not for a long time
You must be old because only an old shit sack would be offended by that
What ever happened to Roger Horton, there's little to no info on him on the internet
@@kestonsmith1354 he died in 2016
@@nortemark4454 damn 😟
I still watch after hours when I need a laugh. I miss that show. Micheal Swaim and the O'briens were amazing on that channel.
The onion is a good example how to cover politics and social issues while being funny
Well the onion makes joke articles and they dont talk about actual articles so I dont think theyre the best example
God bless them for remaining neutral in the current climate.
The Onion doesn't cover actual things.
Salokin +Are you honestly saying that The Onion ISN’T one hundred percent serious news?! NO WAY!
@@deadbread3459 Unfortunately for the Onion, too many actual news headlines read like satire now, even though they are very sadly our reality, leaving less room, and less appetite, for finding humor in the ridiculous.
I know what turned me away from the website was the overwhelming ads. The mobile site was unusable due to ads constantly redirecting the web page.
This, so much this. The site was 90% ad. And bad ads at that.
The site was crappy as well, in general. The scripts it ran just killed performance. For a page that is pretty much just images, words, and maybe some videos (that shouldn't/don't auto-play). When you could barely comment because of just how much they were slowing things down, well...
Why didn't you just install:
-Firefox
-Noscript
-Ublock Origin
???
@@kedabro1957 or adblock.
You should have used an adblocking browser instead of Chrome. Jesus Chrome mobile is useless. The ads make everything lag & crash. News site s are hte worst, with their constantly refreshing ads & auto-play videos.
I used to love their articles.
I remember their good old days of video game easter eggs, Popsicle Pete comics, & shitting on Thomas Edison.
John Cheese was my absolute favorite writer. It seemed like he could write about both sides of an article to the point where you could relate to the people who thought that way. I wonder what he's up to these days?
Me too. I know why a zombie article would fail
K H anyone remembers the photoshop contests?
@@MichaelDavis-cy4ok I think his career's finished after the recent allegations about him. It's a shame as his articles were very good.
amazing. i stumbled upon cracked just this year and binged their series of recapping movie series (final destination, saw, etc). whenever i take a look at the comment section i always get the sense that there's a long and shared known history of the channel that i've never known about, but also wasn't too curious to find out meself. it wasn't until today when i saw cracked made a community post about one of their hosts contacting the channel about ideas on how to revive it. finally got curious enough, and found this video. thanks, mate.
Yeah, they fell waaaaay the fuck off
“That old guy”. No one ever enjoyed being described like that. That’s going to be you, a lot sooner than you think.
It’s just sad they stopped uploading their most popular serieses I really enjoyed honest commercials
I miss Rodge.. GODSPEED Jack Hunter!
He died?
Roger and his videos were my favorite. Gonna miss em!
Their main page decided to get political years ago, and then it just became more flagrant as time went on. If people had been going there for political content, it would have been fine. But essentially most people were visiting for interesting and humorous lists, and didn't want anything to do with politics. And even when they weren't posting political articles or videos, a great deal of their content (i.e. entertainment-related) started to come across as snobbish and smug, which only pissed people off more. So it was basically a combination of terrible writing and being unable to gauge the temperature of their audience, among other things.
There was even a video of them defending Antifa and they actually tried to pass it as news, they made a VERY specific research of the fights Antifa didn't start and tried to paint the whole situation as if every Antifa member was innocent and everyone else was a literal nazi. They went so overboard against Trump that they lost their journalistic integrity.
It's interesting because this video does mention competition from Buzzfeed, whose content is basically also a combination of far-left pandering articles and editorials with some funny lists thrown in and somehow they seem to have more success with that format.
Stephen S you nailed it. I used to watch/read Cracked daily for the humor. Then they got political. Boring repetition of all the usual left wing tripe other sites were doing. There were a few exceptions, with a surprisingly good articles thrown in with the garbage. Then they started banning commenting on the articles and posts unless you paid for a membership, which is where more than a few comedic gems came from. A few weeks ago I went on to the site to see what was new since it had been about a year since I had read it. Nothing but biased SJW articles and spin. Haven't gone back.
@@laurocoman classic Trump Derangement Syndrome
The “If ads were honest” was the best ish ever!! Somebody get that guy and give us more lol
I missed the After hours episodes. I looked forward to them
Amen
Tbh I understand having a political stance or trying to call attention to problems, but Cracked attacked everybody, and when you do that, no one is gonna like you! Half the time the best part was the comments tearing down the articles later on.....
I miss Roger from Honest Ads so damn much.
Yeah, he was my 2nd fave after Daniel O'Brian but the later was more due to relatability
Huh.
@Axiom Steel26 Just poking around a bit. Seeing what's been happening.
@@cracked you still suck.
But I love People Watching. It sounds like you haven't really watched it with an open mind
Samantha Stoning it’s just different from the other content cracked made
@@BarginsGalore In what way is it different?
I can't get past the art style. Same for One Piece, Jumanji TAS, & most things by Klasky Csupo.
I left Cracked when all their articles became Orange Man Bad... like can I please just watch pop culture references about movies.
Doc's Channel Same here. The obsession over Trump is just boring and eye roll inducing.
I remember one AWFUL video about how gamers have failed
Yeah a bunch of people who casually play video games telling gamers they are bad people for doing what equates to nothing. Its escapism I want to relax.
I remember when they tried to convince us that playing video games was our way of satisfying our "murder boners" and I was like, "Wait, what?"
@@Dargonhuman I play minecraft and actually hate pvp games...
I mainly play videogames to escape reality, so as making illustrations.
@@DragonFruitXVI I play RuneScape with all chats turned off and avoid populated worlds to stay away from other people myself.
It's worth noting that it isn't all about strategy and tactics - Cracked's comedy content was always consistently good-to-great. The writers, going all the way back into when the lists started, were often brilliant - from Jack O'Brien himself and David Wong to Seanbaby, John Cheese, Luke McKinney, Josh Sargent and Dan O'Brien (no relation) - and the ability to find and employ good writers continued until JOB left. I personally believe that Demand Media were simply too tactical and had/have too little understanding of the importance of quality. To them, like many other media companies, content is content, and is only measured in words or seconds - to them, it's a pile of nondescript ressource, like gravel on a flatbed truck, and all they focus on is where to unload it.
yeah I always loved seanbaby's articles, would be interested to know what he ended up doing after

*I loved their Honest Ads videos.*
F for the loving memory of old Cracked.com
I used to love Cracked but I basically quit them back in 2013.
I'm watching this in early May 2020 and recently Cracked starting uploading new videos.
People Watching is brilliant, touching, and funny.
How dare you.
I agree, People Watching was a great show.
@@lordofthememes7983 but as he pointed out, it's only coming out now because of long production schedules, so it's basically content from 2017 itself.
Cracked used to be my favorite website. Now it's definitely not.
I still binge watch their videos. Don't think I'll ever stop loving those segments.
I miss it so much. I remember the website being one of the first places to consistently make me laugh my ass off when I was new on the internet. After that didn't do it for me as much anymore the youtube channel was what I found next and I loved other things about it.
I miss them so much.
Q~Q I miss cracked so much.... I used to be on that site since 2010. It brought me such joy to visit and see new articles. *sighs* I wish that after hours would come back again... And the old man having another job on youtube again.
The thing about After Hours, though, is the show was going to end anyway. At least 3 of the 4 cast members were already intending to leave Cracked, and the attempt to introduce a new cast didn't find an audience. Apparently they'd filmed a series finale that never finished editing when the plug was pulled. And with Daniel O'Brien leaving, that meant his other main show, OPCD, was going to end as well. But now they've started producing content with new people again, with their first show since the comeback being a blatant ripoff of OPCD.
"I don't know how people make money on this platform" -- pitches Squarespace
but like, cracked didn't do that.
He said he doesn’t get how big companies do. A one-man operation can turn a profit much more easily.
Thanks for this. I loved Cracked and used to look forward to their After Hours. Cracked writers have a very special POV I totally relate to.
Cracked was my favorite channel on youtube.It combined two things I love history and nerdness and everyone that made content there was so smart.I liked all of them from Cody to Carmen Angelica to Alex to Greg to The Two Katie’s.I’m still really sad it’s over there was nothing like it on the internet and it was so sad to think all those amazing people just lost their job.
Thank you for this video. I was a Cracked regular and remember when what i thought was a holiday hiatus just turned into nothing.
The “old guy” uploaded the first video in almost 4 years on the cracked channel.
After hours and Honest Ads were my absolute favourite. Cracked was dope
Love how CRACKED now literally is a guy making videos for them out of his house.
Personally I think acting like you’re in your early 20s well into your 90s is what killed them
Agreed
just saw new uploads from whatever cracked is today and couldn’t even bring myself to open the video because it’s so heartbreaking to remember the incredible projects and creators that were lost
ari I hear where you are coming from, but curiosity got the better of me and I watched one. They have been bought by a different company and the content is good (not After Hours/OPCD/EPCD great, but still worth a watch). And then I watched the others 😀 which were also good. Jordan was a fan of OG heyday Cracked so his heart is in the right place.
I feel like you're selling them a bit short by referring to the article as simply dime a dozen clickbait articles. As opposed to BuzzFeed, Cracked actually had skilled comedy writers and editors.
I need more Honest Commercial...
Assuming you take suggestions me and my brother would love to see a "What Happened to The Irate Gamer?" or just a video on AVGN-ripoffs in general.
There are already several in-depth videos about the rise and fall of Irate Gamer, but a more generalized look at AVGN clones and what happened to them would be interesting to watch.
I miss Roger! I only went to Cracked to see Roger!
was he a demon in disguise ?
Having been a fan of Cracked since the beginning of the website I feel this video doesn't cover nearly half of what it was or what brought the company down. There is a podcast on TH-cam where Dan and Michael talk at length about it though.
Brockway, Buckholz, Swaim, O'Brien, Seanbaby, Bowie etc. years from about 2007-2013, were the best for the writing.
I actually love these “out of place cartoons” jesus
4:31 is why I think Jontron stopped releasing videos as his production values went up
F
They are still around in a meaningful way. They get the last laugh over Mad. They could have kept the honest ads, but they didn't.
I'm irrationally angry at how he kept saying "honest commercials" because they're "honest ads" 😠😹
When the suit comes up after an acquisition and says they have BIG PLANS for this company. You know everything has been doomed.
Like when Disney bought Marvel...
you should do a "what happened to james @ war" video - he was one of the great original tubers who was producing great viral parodies and had collaborations with hank green, hot for words and andre black nerd to name a few. but then suddenly vanished seemingly at the start of his youtube fame and never returned
I agree. James @ war was really good. One of the last videos I saw him upload was him challenging Weird Al to a parody duel. Then he disappeared from the internet..........
I miss roger
Generation Xers like myself were still reading Cracked magazine avidly, as kids in the 80's and early 90's, btw.
You're cool.
Yeah I definitely remember it from the 90s
Dr. Jordan Breeding actually did a GREAT job reviving the platform for like 2 years, and then they just fired him last month👍🏼 the bosses hate success
The thing about Cracked is that the audience cared for the people: Swaim, DOB, Soren, all the Katys, the weird hairy guy...
i do like your investigations. i always stumble across them by accident, but it is always good, and on point and everything one needs to look deeper. or not. gr8 stuff man \^-^/
From recent years what I can remember of Cracked is left-wing politics and poorly researched clickbait articles. 5-10 years ago it was much more fun.
How come there are so many people who call themselves "Left-wing" and they like Jason Pargin?

6:04 What if Cracked did this...oh wait
P.S.: Dr. Jordan Breeding is my Primary Care Provider and I love watching his diagnoses
You made a really good point on the fact that they double down on videos that no one really cared to watch, while abandoning things like after hours, honest commercials, escort missions, and a few more of their original properties that really did well. For me, as someone who was a loyal subscriber, when they stopped publishing the videos I wanted to see such as those named above, and started doing a really bad news program, and began letting go most of the people in those popular properties, that's when I pretty much stopped watching and unsubscribed to them. It would be nice, if the core of the the people who made that Channel popular got together, and started ripping off their own content. Slightly changing the names to avoid copyright infringement. Most of their skits would be very easy to reproduce and wouldn't take much of a budget.
I miss Roger. He's highlarious!
Sorry but as a Cracked fan I have to disagree and say this video doesn’t seem well researched, in the later half especially
I felt the same way about People Watching at first. But they are actually really deep and insightful if you watch them. But they're not for everyone.
I'd argue that the biggest issue was a drop in quality content and becoming much like Buzzfeed. Reading Cracked articles was like being told about history, science and other interesting tidbits at a table by that friend who can make anything funny in short and simple snippets. And the videos followed suit. After Hours was the perfect embodiment of what Cracked was. But then sometime in 2014 or 2015 a lot of the guys like Swaim seemed to take a backseat to guest writers who came off like Buzzfeed rejects. Not to mention that cartoonist who seemed to cover 80% of his panels with dialogue and presented his opinions as bonafide fact with the only basis being "I'm the cartoonist so I'm right". Articles we'rent humerous historical tales or putting a dark twist on why babies cry so damn much, they were preachy "you have to agree with me or you're a bigot" style clickbait. Or even worse were the "I was in a cult where we ate cow anuses off the coast of Peru" investigation type articles that were poorly researched and pointless. It felt like Cracked wanted to be both Buzzfeed and Vice and sacrificed what made them unique in the first place. They quickly hopped on a soapbox and just seemed arrogant about everything. Not to mention they stopped vetting their sources or citing anything and seemed to just expect you to agree with their content because. I remember one article where O'Brien explained how the news skews facts by falsely associating separate events such as "man killed at GTAIV release" to make you think they're related, even if they had nothing to do with it. Then here comes Sargeant doing just that a few years later. I think Gamegate was the biggest turning point. All the issues with dissenters being banned and daily online feuds between Sargeant and everyone else because of his attitude exploded with Gamergate. People were fed up and got tired of the humor and satire being pushed away for terrible preachy content by self-important randos.
Those "really weird, out of place cartoons" are better than this video.
"...these weird, out-of-place cartoons"
Whaaa, People Watching was awesome!
Wish the honest ads would come back. Laughed so hard 😂
Is Jack Hunter still alive? He is awesome!
That video about why-old-people-are, when 'Horton' ends it with "and f* you, my name is Jack!". Pure beauty.
So his real name is Jack Hunter?
Wonder if he has his own channel?
Cracked was well on Crack
The channel started uploading Watch Mojo style content a few months ago.
I miss Honest Commercials. Roger felt like a family member. Someone please hire him and revive that series, PLEASE!!!!!
I used to visit the Cracked site almost daily a few years back. I always found them funny and entertaining, even though I could tell they had a definite leftist slant, it didn't bother me because I can deal with people having different opinions then myself.
But then they just started laying it on thick. Every artical was political. Every artical was basically bashing the views I (or anyone with a more conservative opinion) hold. I can take different opinions and I can take someone poking fun at mine, but cracked started to feel less like humor and more like attacks.
Agreed; I'm perfectly capable at laughing at myself if it's done in the spirit of good-natured ribbing, but they started to get downright mean and cruel with how aggressive they were about it.

I liked Cracked as a Mad knock-off magazine (1970s) better than a left-wing commentary channel. I guess I wasn't alone.
Just watched The Office were Micheal 'orders' fancy magazines to show he "doesn't just read cracked", I had no notion what it was.
