Are you going to start spamming Cracked comments with NOT UNPOPULAR now?

Ponicalica

Gladstone's probably one of the weakest Cracked columnists recently.

By which I mean it can't be worse than this article.

Myrmidon

I'm just saying the "I hate things most people like and that makes me smarter than most people" attitude has never been charming.

Vorpy

^ NOT UNPOPULAR

GLORIOUSLeader

Hrm...

"Smoke on the Water" is a good song. The others are not really overplayed. Go Cracked!

Chagen

They still have this article, they're awesome.

MillerCross

^^ LA Woman is not overplayed? You shitting me, bro?

^ Not that good, not that bad.

DonZabu

^^ You mean David Wong at his preachiest? No thanks.

I've seen a trend among internet comedians. The more successful they are, the more their material devolves into Author Tracts with the occasional joke thrown in.

FTFY. See: George Carlin, Bill Hicks.

Eh. Isn't Seanbaby still funny?

I'm just really disappointed in DOB, though. 

MillerCross

Seanbaby is more like that dude who sends articles to Cracked but does it because he knows he can be read there more, rather than someone who's actually a Cracked columnist and depends on the site to get his word out, like Daniel O' Brien or Michael Swaim. 

GLORIOUSLeader

I still say that this article is one of the funniest things on the website.

Also, he was interrogated by the FBI and Secret Service after writing an article on how to kidnap the President's daughters. 

MoeDantes

After reading a Cracked article, you'd be forgiven for thinking that comedians don't have to actually be funny.

Chagen

F You people.

Cracked is one the funniest sites on the internet.

MillerCross

^^True dat.

Although, Cracked gave me this line:

Wine suggestion: Guinness.

So it's not all that bad.

GLORIOUSLeader

^^ Is that very difficult to accomplish? 

Also, nice to see you completely forgot what we just told you in that other thread.

^ Just wait until you get to the Girls Gone Wild novelization.

MillerCross

F You people.

Cracked is one the funniest sites on the internet.

Myrmidon

Cracked does still put out some good stuff. Like these two articles.

Chagen is getting more easily agitated these days, it seems.

Look, when ANYTHING becomes more popular, they begin to think people genuinely want to hear their opinions, so they begin to put more of it into their work.

The_Edge

College Humor surely isn't the funniest.

Parody a popular song by using internet memes (because they are geeks): Check!

Make pop-culture referances (to ensure they are hip): Check!

Gay joke (because they love the gays): Check!

Make fun of Sarah (because every show needs a Meg): Check!

Myrmidon

But this isn't even Gladstone acting like we want his boring opinion on something relevant. This is Gladstone acting like we want his boring opinion on pointless bullshit.

MillerCross

Cracked is all about the pointless bullshit, dude.

Ponicalica

That first article Myrmy linked is by scythemantis/bogleech, btw.

All Nines

Oh God, I remember when I thought College Humor was funny. >.<

Malkavian

F You people.

Cracked is one the funniest sites on the internet.

Nyktos

CollegeHumor have some okay stuff. Didn't they do Minesweeper the Movie?

Schitzo

Isn't funny when one minute, you'll hold on to something someone says like it's the gods truth one moment, and then get totally embarrassed by it the next?

Malkavian

All this article really succeeded in doing is making go find Come Sail Away and listen to it.

MillerCross

@Malk: Mine was better. :P
