Folsom Pinball Blues

Folsom Pinball Blues

Puddles Pity Party managed to mash up two unlikely tunes into one, combining the Johnny Cash classic Folsom Prison Blues with The Who’s Pinball Wizard. We’re not sure why it works, but Puddles always does a good job hypnotizing us with his voice.

Are GMO’s Good?

Are GMO’s Good?

Kurzgesagt sums up the basics of genetically modified organisms or GMOs. Technically, we’ve been modifying the genes of plants and animals for thousands of years, from corn to dogs. GMOs are powerful tools – it’s how and why we wield them that matters.

Making Termite Clay Pottery

Making Termite Clay Pottery

Primitive Technology has almost exhausted his supply of clay from the nearby creek, so he tried using the clay from termite mounds to make pottery. He found out that the termite clay is too smooth and plastic, but is good enough for simple pottery.

Honest Grocery Store Commercial

Honest Grocery Store Commercial

“Go ahead and buy sweet and succulent tree fetuses. They’re just gonna rot on your counter anyway.” Cracked and Roger the educational Satan are back to explain how groceries use psychology and statistics to make us spend and eat more.

Honest Cereal Commercial

Honest Cereal Commercial

“Well, I wouldn’t say it’s good, but I would say it’s effective.” Cracked and Roger are back to ruin yet another thing that makes us happy. Breakfast cereals are addicting carb flakes made from American tradition, sugar and market research.

Planting Cassava and Yams

Planting Cassava and Yams

Primitive Technology set up a new garden to plant sweet cassava and yams – two crops that are relatively easy to maintain and produce lots of food. He also shows us the old stone hut that he built 10 years ago, and his pet mammoth turkey.

Batman & American History

Batman & American History

Cracked points out why the live action Batman TV series and films look the way they do and are so distinct. They are products of their times, a reflection of America’s past three decades. Though we refuse to believe that Joel Schumacher’s 2-film run was the ’90s fault.

How to Escape from Earth

How to Escape from Earth

Many scientists believe that the future of humanity lies somewhere outside of Earth. It’s just that escaping from our planet is literally rocket science. Kurzgesagt, that crying duck got to us harder than you probably thought it would.

Making a Bed Shed

Making a Bed Shed

Primitive Technology’s new year’s resolution – whatever year it is in his dimension – must have been to sleep better. He built a shed that has enough space for a cot. It took him two weeks to make the shed and the bed frame, but he says he spent most of that time gathering grass.

The Vicious ’65 Ford Mustang

The Vicious ’65 Ford Mustang

Timeless Kustoms‘ tricked out 1965 Ford Mustang is one of the coolest cars we’ve seen on Jay Leno’s Garage yet. The retro-modern fastback beast has a 5.1L turbo/supercharged 1000hp V8 and a badass red interior with a roll cage. Here’s some testing and dyno footage.

Honest Diet Ad

Honest Diet Ad

“See how we keep changing what’s good for you? That how we get you.” Cracked’s outspoken Satan is back with a glowing explanation of how most diet products and programs are marketed and how they “work.” And if they don’t work, it’s your fault.

Dawn of the Blart

Dawn of the Blart

Both Dawn of the Dead and Paul Blart: Mall Cop take place in shopping malls, so it’s certainly plausible that the characters might have run into each other. Digital Spectrum Studios imagines that Blart had to use his mad Segway skills to take on the zombie horde.

If Hotel Ads Were Honest

If Hotel Ads Were Honest

Cracked’s ol’ devil Roger returns as an hotelier brazenly exposing his business for what it is: bedspacing maximized for cost-efficiency, at the expense of its employees’ or its customers’ well-being.

Overpopulation Explained

Overpopulation Explained

…or rather, debunked. Kurzgesagt, Our World in Data and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation point out that nightmare scenarios involving global overpopulation are unlikely, and that human population will likely never exceed 12 billion.

The Human Drone

The Human Drone

When you think about it, a drone is basically a tiny helicopter with multiple blades, so why not build a huge drone capable of puling or lifting a human? Recently, Casey Neistat and his friends put together just that, then headed to Finland’s Santa Claus Village for a little snowboarding.

Robot Around the Christmas Tree

Robot Around the Christmas Tree

“Deck the halls with human bodies.” Samurai Guitarist’s talkbox-enhanced take on Brenda Lee’s classic ’50s Christmas track is essentially what would happen if the Flight of the Conchords’ classic The Humans are Dead put on a holiday special.
