Honest Black Friday Ad

Honest Black Friday Ad

“As if we wouldn’t immediately and wordlessly take your money any other day of the year.” Cracked’s cold blooded explanation might just save a brainwashed shopper or two. John Oliver, Adam Conover and Roger should co-host the apocalypse.

Tetris: Bluegrass Rock Style

Tetris: Bluegrass Rock Style

Musician Samurai Guitarist created this unusual, but somehow just right cover version of the familiar Russian style theme song from the arcade classic, Tetris. We just wanted to shout Rawhide! at the end.

Facebook Freebooting 2

Facebook Freebooting 2

The folks behind the fantastic YouTube channel Kurzgesagt present yet another argument about how Facebook encourages a culture of content theft against original creators, where pirates duplicate videos, and get huge traffic from Facebook’s skewed video sharing algorithm.

Believe One Man Band Cover

Believe One Man Band Cover

Steve Onotera aka samuraiguitarist created a chill cover of Cher’s Believe by playing one instrument after another and then layering the resulting tracks to create a single song and a single video.

Why Toy Story is Terrifying

Why Toy Story is Terrifying

Woody and his fellow toys appear to be immortal, so they’ll inevitably lose the humans they love. On the other hand, they traumatized Sid, who’s merely as crazy as any real kid. That and more in Cracked’s surprisingly convincing dismantling of Toy Story‘s charm.

Leno Checks out Aston Martin DB10

Aston Martin’s Marek Reichman dropped by Jay Leno’s Garage to showcase one of his latest designs, the DB10. Made solely for the James Bond movie Spectre, the DB10 has an aluminum chassis, a carbon fiber body and the Vantage’s 420hp 4.7L V8 engine.

Creating the “Oh F***k” Moment

Creating the “Oh F***k” Moment

“Have a reason to cut.” RocketJump Film School talks about how movie editing is about controlling information. You can hide something to promote tension, focus on one thing for emphasis, or give the audience time to feast their eyes on what’s happening onscreen.

Why Idiocracy Would Be a Utopia

Why Idiocracy Would Be a Utopia

(PG-13: Language) In Mike Judge’s 2006 movie, everyone had a low IQ. But as Cracked points out, at least they knew they were idiots. Best of all, they were nice people. Unlike today where we have idiots who don’t want to be educated, hateful idiots, and idiots with power.

Things That Are Not Pranks

Things That Are Not Pranks

A handful of YouTubers make a lot of money by making prank videos. But Cracked reminds us that many of these so-called practical jokes are actually forms of violence, bullying, harrassment or sometimes just lying, but with a disclaimer and a camera.

Timeless Dreams

Timeless Dreams

Julian Tryba edited the footage that he and his friend Mike Sutton took of the American Southwest into a mesmerizing layer-lapse, where parts of different time-lapse shots are merged into the same frame. The song is Kygo’s remix of M83’s Wait.

If the Wedding Industry Was Honest

If the Wedding Industry Was Honest

(PG-13: Language) “Can you really put a price on love? Yes. Love costs on average $31,500.” Cracked and Roger are back to remind us not to splurge on weddings. Remember lovebirds, you also need money after you get married. You know, to live.

If Car Insurance Companies Were Honest

If Car Insurance Companies Were Honest

Cracked takes another cynical look at corporations, this time taking on auto insurance, which is not only legally mandated, but the companies what they can to avoid paying claims, and then penalize you for doing exactly what you paid them for.

Marvel’s Civil War: A Summary

Marvel’s Civil War: A Summary

(SPOILERS) There are many concise recaps of the Civil War comics online, but if you want to be entertained as well Comicstorian’s summary is a great watch. Comics Explained has more details (and also the, uh, comics themselves).

Illusion Twist Takedown

Illusion Twist Takedown

An impressive takedown by Trevor Logan as he dispenses of fellow stuntman Daniel Locicero using gymnastics and the power of his legs, courtesy of a move choreographed by stunt coordinator Arnold Chon. One more time here.

If Car Commercials Were Honest

If Car Commercials Were Honest

Cracked rips apart car dealerships: government mandated businesses operating at thin margins who make their money on service, finance charges, and add-ons. Seriously, why can’t we just order cars from direct from manufacturers?

What are Dark Matter & Dark Energy?

What are Dark Matter & Dark Energy?

Our friends at Kurzgesagt are back with another informative animation – this time about the science of the perplexing stuff inside and around the stuff we know about, which we don’t have any good way of examining or measuring.
