| 11 | -->''On the heels of the command, a red and blue streak shot across the camera's field and slammed into Wong, sending both of them flipping into the background with a series of sickening thuds. It was Seanbaby. When they stopped rolling, he stood, now wearing all of David Wong's clothes. Wong, himself, was dressed from head to toe in a skin tight, red and blue, leather jumpsuit that I can only imagine had adorned Sean's body before the attack. Around the seams were tiny spots of blood, where Sean had stapled the outfit to the unconscious man. I thought about asking him how he did that, but I opted for silence, for fear that after asking the question, I'd turn around to find him standing behind me, fully prepared to demonstrate.'' |

| 22 | -->'''Seanbaby''': I can never tell when Japan is making fun of us, but Metal Wolf Chaos begins when the Vice President takes control of the military by loudly hating freedom and the only one left to stop him is President Mike Wilson. As soon as he hears about the trouble, President Wilson gets into his Presidential Power Armor and front-flip rocket jumps out of the White House. To make sure you understand how little of a shit this game gives, here's what robot jump rockets do to a White House:\ |

When the police found it, he said that it was simply "a misunderstanding". |
| 32 | -->There is no reasonable series of events that could come together in any order that would make that a misunderstanding. "I got naked and fell into a pile of weed and decided not to check myself afterwards"? Nope. "I thought this was how you properly disposed of drugs"? No you didn't. "My girlfriend loves the smell of pot on my dick"? Bullshit. ''No girlfriend will ever love that smell''. |
| 33 | -->'''How This Excuse Could Work''': For the entire world to be a retarded sitcom, written four generations into a writers strike, where everyone has nine grams of marijuana around their genitals and ten times that in their bloodstream. |

In an effort to catch a gang of all homosexual pot-dealers, we wrap marijuana around our dicks. We call this 'fishing,' and it's awful."

| 37 | --> When you create a Sim, it records a copy of them. This allowed me to go back to the menu and start the game over with a fresh genetic clone of Subject Beef and Turbo Sexaphonic. With science marching along next to me, I moved them into the burned-out, haunted remains of my old facility to recreate our grand experiment. What happened next is a true story: the clone rummaged through the trash for exactly 25 hours, then ran to the pool to sink and die. It's like the first thing he did after being created was '''remember what I had done.''' Going over all this data, I can conclude that science and all the dark-sided Gozar-summoning magic it brings with it can kiss my ass. |
| 38 | ** Related to this is when Brockway wrote an article about gun violence and violent video games. One of his rhetorical suggestions was that we as a society ditch Call of Duty and play [[MyGodYouAreSerious the more peaceful game series]], The Sims. Cue everyone in the comments section asking him if he's ever played the game (or at least read Seanbaby's article) and [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential swapping all the different creative ways they've murdered their Sims]] and other characters from supposed non-violent video games (ie, Rollercoaster Tycoon) in ways that Call of Duty could only dream of. As one commentor put it, at least the [=NPCs=] in Call of Duty shoot ''back''. |

Now try to look at it the same after reading their interpretation: "If the ghost of chalk Hitler is so pleased by people driving alone, why does he look so terribly sad? Maybe because the stone cold pimp in the driver's seat just made him watch while his dick played hopscotch with the ghost of chalk Eva Braun." |

| 62 | * From [[http://www.cracked.com/article_17573_7-fatal-injuries-that-people-somehow-survived.html this article]], starting with #6: |
| 63 | --> According to Joseph, his friends had left the party reading quotes from the bible to each other and were on their way to assist the homeless. According to the police, the group was shooting off flamethrowers and wheeling a giant cannon down the street toward an orphanage. The truth is probably somewhere in between. |
| 64 | ** After that, |
| 65 | --> Joseph was rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered the 19 bullet-holes in his body. The attending physician later testified that Joseph was "probably in severe pain." Dr. Obvious likely went on to say that the red stuff pouring out of Joseph's body was "probably blood." |
| 66 | ** In # 5, we have: |
| 67 | --> When the doctors at the field hospital found out he had a whole, working rocket inside him, there was the usual panic and screaming until someone finally calmed down enough to try and save his life. This was despite the fact that the army manual called for him to be dumped far away from everyone and treated last. Seriously, nothing makes you more unpopular to a group than having a live bomb inside you. |
| 68 | ** # 3 |
| 69 | --> Back in 2006, a guy in Oregon got really depressed, probably because he realized he lived in Oregon. He decided it was time to end his life and after ruling out faster, better, more proven alternatives, he decided he would end it all by shooting himself in the head with a nailgun (we've all been there, right?). We're going to go out on a limb and assume that he was probably a bit disappointed when the first nail pierced his skull and he found himself still alive and in Oregon. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | --> He was serious about ending it all though and kept pulling the trigger on the nail gun like a guy waiting for an elevator. By the time he was done, he had a dozen nails embedded in his head. It's unclear why he stopped but a good guess is because it really hurts to shoot nails into your skull. |

The RunningGag of this article is that people don't actually look as cool as they think they do when wearing these mustaches. This represented by showing one picture of what you think you look like (which shows an image of a cool or stylish person) and what you actually look like (accompanied by an image of a geeky or creepy person). In number two, it shows the picture of the Finger Mustache for the 'what you think you look like' category. For the 'what you actually look like' category, it shows a picture of a douche. Literally. |
| 77 | ** There's also ''#6. "The American Standard"''... The "cool guy" photo is young, 1970's Ron Jeremy. The "stupid-looking guy photo"... present-day Ron Jeremy! |
| 78 | * The Robert Brockway article "5 Terrifying Things Movies Don't Tell You About Los Angeles", which is about how much Los Angeles sucks, includes a brief section on how jobs require you to have pretty headshots even when you're not going to be seen by the customers and Brockway posts a few of said headshots of his coworkers. Now, [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-terrifying-things-movies-dont-tell-you-about-los-angeles/ roughly half the comments are about how attractive Soren Bowie is]] , with many people apparently forgetting about the rest of the article. |
| 79 | ** Fitting with Soren's StupidSexyFlanders tendencies, the description that Soren "only occasionally hunts men for sport" can also be interpreted with homoerotic undertones. |

| 108 | '''Apache Chief''': And that's what's blocking the sun's rays?\ |
| 109 | '''Seanbaby''': It's good to know that after the Earth collides into cosmic facial hair, it will only take two professional super heroes and a computer several minutes to figure out what's going on.

Porter]]''.[[note]]Point of order: the first three entries on the list ''[[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe all took place during the same convoy]]''.[[/note]] |
| 115 | -->If ships were people, this one would be the kid who ate paste off a stick. And then almost killed the president by accident. |
| 116 | ** In November of 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was being taken to a summit in Iran, where he was to have a secret meeting with Stalin and Churchill. [[TemptingFate Naturally, this is the convoy that takes up three-fifths of the list.]] |
| 117 | --->The USS William D. Porter was only one of the ships in the convoy that was going to get them there. There was only one problem: The Porter was staffed with the cast of ''Film/PoliceAcademy''. |
| 118 | ** As the result of one of the ship's anchors not being fully raised, as the ''Porter'' left dock, it proceeded to cause thousands of dollars of damage to the deck of its sister ship "like a coked up toddler in a candy store". |
| 119 | ** The ''Porter'', at two separate points, decides to demonstrate its capability of handling threats via simulation drills. And both times, it winds up [[NotWhatItLooksLike almost killing the President.]] |
| 120 | *** Firstly, during a drill involving the launching of [[{{Foreshadowing}} fake]] depth charges, one of the rounds actually wound up ''rolling off of the deck'' and falling into the water. Where it promptly ''exploded'', because it was ''still armed'', and causing everyone else in the convoy to briefly assume the Axis powers caught wind of the secret convoy and began to attack. |
| 121 | ---->So, one of the drills that the Porter was tasked with was sending out fake depth charges for practice. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck You can tell where this train wreck is heading, can't you?]] |
| 122 | *** [[FromBadToWorse And then a separate drill shortly after sees the Porter]] ''[[FromBadToWorse fire a live torpedo towards the President's ship]]''. What's more, due to the secretive nature of the convoy, all ships involved were to partake in radio silence... [[HonorBeforeReason which the Porter's captain was more than willing to maintain]] ''[[TooDumbToLive despite the fact one of their torpedoes was currently rocketing towards the President]]''. |
| 123 | ---->[[CaptainObvious You'd think that "just shot a torpedo at the president" would be one of those times when you have to break the rule for the greater good.]] [[WrongGenreSavvy Not according to the brainiacs on the Porter.]] They decided radio silence trumped the life of their commander in chief and everyone else on board the ship, so they used light signals to warn the Iowa a torpedo was coming. Light signals. Like it was 1775 and they were at the Old North Church waiting for Paul Revere. |
| 124 | *** [[FromBadToWorse "But they couldn't even get that part right."]] Repeated usage of the light signals resulted in the Porter informing the Iowa the torpedo was going ''the other direction'' and the Porter accidentally declaring they were "going in reverse full speed" [[CuttingTheKnot before someone outright took to the radio and told the Iowa about the torpedo and to turn hard right]]. All the while, President Roosevelt [[DissonantSerenity expressed a desire to see the torpedo in action]]. |
| 125 | ** Shortly after the depth charge incident, a wave wound up striking the ship, causing a crewmate to be washed off, never to be found, and the ship to wind up losing power due to the boiler getting flooded. The article's author, understandably, described this particular incident as being "because every single man on the Willie Dee had made a deal with the devil and lost". |
| 126 | *** Likewise, shortly after the torpedo incident, the ''Porter'' was ordered to leave the convoy, whereupon they traveled to Bermuda [[LaserGuidedKarma where the entire crew was arrested by the Marines]]. |
| 127 | ** The men who failed to disable the torpedo were sentenced to hard labor, only for ''Roosevelt himself'' to reduce the sentence. |
| 128 | --->'''Caption''': "I hear you all tried to kill me. Haven't had that much fun since polio." |
| 129 | ** And then you get to the final fate of the Porter: it wound up being reassigned to the Pacific, where it took place in the Battle of Okinawa. After accidentally firing upon a sister ship, it would proceed to [[HopeSpot shoot down a Japanese bomber plane]], whereupon it went into the water... [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome and continued its trajectory before striking the Porter]] ''[[NegatedMomentOfAwesome from underneath]]'' [[DownerEnding and blowing it up]]. |
| 130 | --->It sank three hours later, without the loss of a single crew member. We think the Porter kept them alive so they would forever have to live with the fact that they served on the Porter. |

| 168 | * Seanbaby's articles on MMA and fighting in general. '''All of them.''' |
| 169 | ** [[https://www.cracked.com/blog/how-mma-proved-that-bigger-guy-usually-loses-horribly "How MMA Proved That The Bigger Guy Usually Loses Horribly"]] is an article about checking "freak show" fights where one of the opponents is above 300 pounds and overweighs their rival for at least 70 pounds. Here are some highlights: |
| 170 | *** The opening of #5: |
| 171 | ---> ''"These days, the biggest a UFC fighter can be is 265 pounds. Which means, by regulation, that horse breeders have to masturbate 35 pounds of semen from Wrestling/BrockLesnar before an event. It's also why he spends the first minute of each fight asking the referee, ''"Who! Has taken Brock's boner!?"'' But for the first four years of the organization, there was no such thing as "weight classes." You could walk right into the cage weighing 410 goddamn pounds, like sumo wrestler Teila Tuli. That's the size of Brock Lesnar wearing a former horse breeder as a belt."'' |
| 172 | *** The description of Bob Sapp in entry #4: |
| 173 | ---> ''"Bob Sapp was a genuine monster born from the hubris of science. He was 2 pounds of teeth gnashing from a hole in 395 pounds of steroid abuse, and looked like something a doctor [[GoneHorriblyRight would regret making]] as it broke free from its restraints screaming "FATHER!" He's the living answer to the question "How many basketballs can you stuff under human skin before it ruptures?" Sapp looked like [[IKnowMaddenKombat he learned how to fight by watching bats fly into windmills]], but it didn't matter. He mauled Yoshihisa Yamamoto in the first round, and trampled Kiyoshi Tamura in [[SquashMatch 11 seconds]]. Both men were about half his size, and suddenly that was a bad thing. When a man weighs 400 pounds, the way you use the phrase "cause of death" changes dramatically when those pounds are lean muscle and not donut ghosts. And Bob Sapp was a sentient avalanche of kangaroo steaks. By the way, it's maybe relevant to mention that Japanese fight promotions absolutely do not care if you're on steroids. The closest thing they have to drug testing is a GameShow where you poop in a robot and it tells a studio audience if your leavings are forlorn or adventurous."'' |
| 174 | *** The description of Butterbean in #3... |
| 175 | ---> ''"Butterbean is a 408-pound boxer who appeared after a bowling ball and a murderer made a wish on the same lamp. He's a fearless, neckless sphere who, starting at the end of 2005, casually punched a dump truck accident's worth of trauma into anyone dumb enough to get in the ring with him."'' |
| 176 | *** ...and onto #2: |
| 177 | ---> ''"He lost four of his six MMA matches ''[in TheNewTens]'', which is still [[StillGotIt nothing short of amazing]] for a hundred-fight veteran in his mid 40s. Butterbean should be the name on our tanks. When terrorists meet with their arms dealers, they should say, "What is this shit you have brought me? The Americans have Butterbeans. Butterbeans! These guns won't scratch the paint on a Butterbean!""'' |
| 178 | *** The end of the article has a very sounding description of japanese MMA promotions: |
| 179 | ---> ''"We've learned Japanese athletic commissions are nothing but clubs where men Google fat people and debate the best way to attach machetes to an orangutan."'' |
| 180 | ** [[https://www.cracked.com/blog/the-5-greatest-revenge-matches-in-mma-history "The 5 greatest revenge matches in MMA history"]]. Especially the descriptions of the fighters: |
| 181 | --> '''[For Wrestling/BrockLesnar in Lesnar vs. Frank Mir]:''' ''Brock Lesnar is a human cheat-code. He is 300 pounds of muscle and judging by the way he darts around, [[LightningBruiser I don't think mass and inertia were properly explained to him]]. He has so much wild animal meat inside him at any time that bears unsheath their penis bones when his scent catches the wind. Brock Lesnar is exactly what you would use if you were making an army of super clone soldiers, which explains why his outgoing voicemail message is, "I am one of you, ordinary human. You can tell me where the resistance is hiding after the beep. Brock is such a physical beast that in his first UFC fight, his second MMA fight ever, he got matched up against the former UFC Heavyweight Champion, Frank Mir. Despite having about 70 seconds of professional fighting experience, Brock was manhandling Frank. He threw him down, punched him down, and scientists everywhere started calling each other, trying to figure out which of their colleagues had finally figured out how to turn into the Hulk. (...) One criticism of Brock's fighting technique is his lack of patience. In his early MMA fights, he tended to [[AttackAttackAttack frantically whack at his opponents like his mother just deleted his save game]]. This never really mattered since a sloppy half-punch from Brock Lesnar is an extinction level event for spinal fluid. He has more muscles in his forearms than a clown has in his four freezers. Brock had to marry [[Wrestling/{{Sable}} a pro wrestler]] because when he shifts in his sleep it's the equivalent of Wrestling/TheBushwhackers Irish-whipping you into a steel ladder."'' |
| 182 | --> '''[For Cheick Kongo in Kongo vs. Pat Barry]:''' ''Frenchman Cheick Kongo is an intimidating slab of dark continent. A fight fan might know him as the man who elbowed Paul Buentello in half. A non-fight fan know him as the awesome-sounding name on his wife's bucket list. If Cheick Kongo was standing behind Abraham Lincoln when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the South would have totally agreed.'' |
| 183 | --> '''[For Pat Barry in the same article]:''' ''Intimidation doesn't work against Pat Barry. When he took on Crocop, the most dangerous kicker who ever lived, Pat stopped fighting to give him a hug. Pat Barry has [[TooDumbToLive so little concept of danger]] that his cause of death is probably going to be dry humping a gorilla in front of a camera phone.'' |
| 184 | ** [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-10-most-insane-acts-violence-in-kickboxing-history/ "10 Most Insane Acts of Violence in Kickboxing History"]]: |
| 185 | *** Feitosa vs Musashi: |
| 186 | ---> Glaube's sweetest weapon is a gator kick he calls the "Brazilian Kick." It's an attack that looks like his thigh and shin can't agree on what they're doing. It starts low so your opponent's elbow comes down to protect his body, then your kneecap dislodges and your foot swings over his gloves and into his betrayed face. You can't trust Glaube's leg. Glaube's leg will invite you over for sex and then sell you Amway. Poisoned Amway. |
| 187 | ---> As a Japanese hero, biased judges always sent [Feitosa's] fights into extra "tie-breaking" rounds. Musashi could get pummeled into an ambulance and the judges would chase after it to tell him he still has an extra round to fight. If you punch Musashi in the eye, the Japanese judges write that down as "Musashi sternly gazes at opponent's honorless fist: 75 points." When Musashi dies, Japanese ringside teams will exhume his body for a tie-breaker round against the robots that killed him. |
| 188 | ---> Counter fighting against Glaube Feitosa is like playing catch with hot soup -- it only ends quickly and stupidly. |
| 189 | ---> Feitosa backed Musashi up with punches, threw a Brazilian Kick, then a front kick to the face. Musashi awesomely blocked and dodged all of this, but he was out of room. He bounced off the ropes just as Feitosa went into the air with a flying knee. Geologists can't explain why the ground shook for a moment, but wise men say that it was the erections of ancient war gods raging under the Earth. |
| 190 | *** Kaman vs Piotrowski: |
| 191 | ---> Kaman wears trunks with a rainbow across the crotch. Why? Because he wants you to picture how badly he could kill you if you said something about it. Plus, it makes it impossible to tell whether he's going to fuck you or your wife. |
| 192 | ---> Piotrowski collapsed to a knee, swinging the whole time. Then this crazy bastard wobbled back to his feet only to have the referee stop the fight. Why? Because Piotrowski was completely god damn asleep. Rob Kaman shattered the part of his brain that tells your body when it's in a coma. The referee held his unconscious body, but he was holding it more back than he was up. Which is a pretty ballsy thing to do to a guy who just turned into a zombie right in front of you. |
| 193 | *** Remi Bonjasky vs Akebono: |
| 194 | ---> For two rounds Remy Bonjasky punched and kicked Akebono as he helplessly shambled in a tiny circle. Chocolate rabbits have more natural defenses than Akebono. I didn't know if Remy was toying with him or waiting for the ice cream inside to melt just to see what would happen. It was so embarrassing that I think the Japanese subtitles tried to trick the audience into thinking they were watching a panther kill a bean bag. Then, in the third round, Remy landed a head kick. Akebono looked so dead that local restaurant owners panicked. To this day, it's the most violent thing ever done to butter. They say that if you watch this fight while you're cooking, your cream sauce will break. |
| 195 | *** Buakaw Por Pramuk vs. Masato: Ass Kicking of the Eight Limbs: |
| 196 | ---> In the first round, Buakaw opened a Muay Thai school on Masato. Thai survivors of Japan's WWII invasion watch this and say, "Jesus, take it easy on the Japanese fella." |
| 197 | ---> Most Thai fighters like to go slow in the first round and feel their opponent out. So if a Thai fighter spent the first round beating you like you were filled with candy, terrible things are in your future. Buakaw hunted Masato in a way that no behavioral forensics investigator would call human. At one point he boots Masato into the ropes, spins him around, and kicks both legs out from under him. Masato was so confused where he was, he had to spit to figure out which way was up like an avalanche victim. |
| 198 | ---> After this one-sided fight went the distance, it seemed pretty easy for the Japanese judges to pick a winner -- the awesome guy without all the footprints on his face. But on the other hand, Masato is Japanese. So they called it a tie and made them fight a fourth round. Coincidentally, four is the same number of years this insane decision took off Masato's lifespan. |
| 199 | ---> The extra round went like the others. Buakaw filmed a ''How To Break A Man's Will With Muay Thai'' instructional tape all over Masato's legs, body, and head. Masato kept clinching to try and rest, but Muay Thai doesn't use the clinch for resting. As soon as any hug started, Buakaw either kneed an organ to death or spiked Masato into the mat like a football. After that, the judges didn't send it to a fifth round, probably because Masato's life insurance didn't cover suicide. |
| 200 | *** Cro Cop vs. Bob Sapp: |
| 201 | ---> In comical slow motion, Sapp bent down and contorted his face in pain, surprise, and 8 emotions only buffalo have names for. He looked like he was trying to act out Total Recall for a deaf person. Something in his skull broke and it was taking a very long time for all the pain signals to reach the twin brains located in buttocky clusters of muscles in his calves. |
| 202 | ---> As it would be explained to him later at the minotaur clinic, Cro Cop broke his orbital bone. Then they of course asked him to leave. His doctor didn't go to 12 years of minotaur school to treat a filthy cyclops. |
| 203 | ** In a similar vein, [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-6-least-sportsmanlike-moments-in-mma/ "The 6 least sportsmanlike Moments in MMA"]]: |
| 204 | --->When a person gets knocked out, strange things happen. Sometimes you wake up quickly and have no idea what happened. Sometimes you stay unconscious until the A-Team is done saving everyone in your illegal sweatshop. In John Matua's case, his brain got confused and told every part of his body to go jogging in a different direction. So he hit the ground stiff and twitching. Tank Abbott, with the class one would expect from central casting's idea of a prison movie extra, looked back at the body and mocked his seizure. '''Mocked his seizure'''. [[EvenEvilHasStandards That's the kind of thing that makes Satan shuffle the papers on his desk and say, "Shit, I don't even think I have a form for that."]] |
| 205 | ** [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/a-book-insults-just-ufc/ "A Book of Insults Just For the UFC"]]. After expositing the {{Jerkass}} nature of Josh Koscheck (mocking, bullying, and general douchebaggery towards everyone involved), Seanbaby started writing down insults about Josh.

| 295 | * Chris Bucholz is notable for being one of the few staff writers that still contributes comedy, has always contributed comedy and, in complete defiance of the website's shift in style, he continues to write hilariously absurd articles. Quite a large chunk of his work would qualify, though given his massive output, here are some standouts: |
| 296 | ** Many of his articles tend to start off in a fairly lucid style, and then go off the rails by the second page. [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/12-things-every-teenage-boy-has-fantasized-about/ "The 12 Most Common Fantasies Teenage Boys Have"]] being particularly hilarious. It begins with fairly normal examples but by the end... |
| 297 | --> "Turning a former bully into a friend, and then turning that friend into a club is perhaps the most common fantasy of all. There are a few variants to this fantasy, although the most typical involves you now as the pilot of a large, multi-horse, Voltron-type creature. Obviously." |

| 299 | ** Many of his most [[CrossingTheLineTwice demented]] articles are also his most hilarious. [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/how-to-win-fight-against-twenty-children/ "How To Win A Fight Against 20 Children"]], [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-ways-to-attack-children-with-stick/ "5 Ways To Attack Children With A Stick"]] and [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-tips-properly-attacking-animals-with-bicycle-chain/ "4 Tips For Properly Attacking animals With A Bicycle Chain]] come most immediately to mind, [[RefugeInAudacity especially]] the latter two: |
| 300 | --> "#5. Psychological Warfare: Eventually it will come to pass that all of your attackers will escape, and you will no longer be able to actively defend yourself. But don't put your stick away yet! Because the government requires that children go to school, you have a very good idea where to find them on the next weekday and will be able to lie there in ambush. The courts call this Terror Stick Stalking Against a Minor, and it's [[BlatantLies your constitutional right]]."\ |
| 301 | "Before we begin, it's important to pin down your motivation for attacking an animal with a bicycle chain. There are two primary reasons why you might want to do this.\ |
| 302 | 1. You have a massive chemical imbalance in your brain\ |
| 303 | 2. Other."\ |
| 304 | "Many legal tests for self-defense collapse around the twenty-fifth bicycle chain lash. And if you chase a penguin across an entire zoo screaming obscenities at it, 'That's not self defense at all,' many judges will claim, shaking their heads with a confused and hurt look on their faces. 'We don't have a crime for what you've done.'" |
| 305 | ** Type "So You" into the search bar, make sure you're not in an environment in which uncontrollable laughter would be inappropriate, and enjoy Chris Bucholz's long-running series of frickle-fracking ''epic'' advice hotline parodies that run on 100% pure InsaneTrollLogic played absolutely straight.

After a series of articles that readers complained were too preachy, Chris Bucholz swoops in and satirises his colleagues' self-righteousness by providing advice that gets more psychotic the further you read. What started out with [[CaptainObvious ''#14. Be Nice To People'']] ended with [[ComicallyMissingthePoint ''#1. Go To The Bathroom In Your Yard, Then Throw It Into Your Neighbors' Yards'']]. |
| 311 | ** [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/theres-bird-in-house21-how-not-to-proceed/ There's a Bird in the House!

By the time he's done, there are ''two'' birds in the house. Plus a cat... which is covered in PAM nonstick spray. Oh, and a badger... |

The funny part is that one of the editors apparently thought so too; the header for the section claiming the only homosexuals in games are women who can be converted (and specifically claims Bioware is particularly guilty of this) features a big picture of Zevran from Dragon Age embracing a male player character. |
| 400 | * Creator/{{Seanbaby}} [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome returns]] with a new and [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-sad-reality-christian-pick-up-artist/ hilarious article]] about a wannabe "Pick Up Artist/Writer/Relationship Guru" and his 35+ year odyssey of literary and sexual fail. It must be seen to be believed! In a nutshell; middle-aged dork self-publishes the worst dating guide imaginable in 1980, complete with the stupidest, creepiest advice and terrible writing/punctuation skills (not to mention a bizarre fixation on feet and Italian stuff). It naturally fails... so he makes repeated attempts to revise it, releasing editions marketed to women and other variations... Finally, desperate, he writes one with a "Christian" theme. Of course it fails... and that's where Seanbaby comes in. |
| 401 | -->'''BOOK:''' ''"When you are standing, and especially when leaning, hook your thumbs in your belt just above your pockets and point your fingers above the genital area. Because of the finger pointing toward the genital area, this sends out a sexual message to the woman and you'll be amazed at how many women pick up this signal."'' |
| 402 | -->'''Seanbaby:''' Whether it's Carl Sagan or Neil deGrasse Tyson, a good science communicator finds ways to take complicated, expansive concepts and translate them into conversational language. Others, such as Don Diebel, might ramble for 57 words about untested neuroscience instead of suggesting "Point at your dick?" |
| 403 | -->'''BOOK:''' ''"A woman sitting with her arms crossed can indicate she is frustrated and not having a good time and would welcome you approaching her."'' |
| 404 | -->'''Seanbaby:''' If a lady isn't having a good time at a party where a man is leaning against a wall pointing at his dick, it's probably because she's sitting too far away to see. Move in close, wiggling your fingers around your genitals as necessary. If her eyesight is especially bad, here is how you say "I'M POINTING AT MY DICK" in Braille: ''*A picture of that phrase in Braille is shown*'' |
| 405 | ** Realizing that his second book, advice for women looking to pick up men, is literally just his last book with all the genders switched. In the few cases where it isn't, it's outright worse, like taking time reassuring women that picking up hitchhikers ''probably'' won't get them raped and murdered, and suggesting that women try to pick up male strippers by ''offering them cocaine''. |
| 406 | --> '''Seanbaby:''' If you're luring junkie male strippers home with cocaine, you're operating at the very highest level of finding Mr. Right and Don Diebel can teach you no more. You started as a sad woman with a book and an unused lap. Now you have a man who loves your cocaine and cares about your cocaine, but who needs to leave soon to rub his balls on a birthday party. And he will remain faithful to you until the very moment a different person has cocaine. On behalf of all women and everyone who believes in true love, thank you, Don Diebel. |

But in the comments for "[[http://www.cracked.com/article_19907_the-5-stupidest-excuses-ever-given-in-political-scandal.html The Five Stupidest Excuses Ever Given In Political Scandals]]", which mentions the Rentboy.com dating service, there's a fake ad by commenter Darkstrolm which is a perfect parody. |

| 425 | * The article "Five Prejudices That Video Games Can't Seem To Get Over" has proven [[TheScrappy unpopular]], due mostly to the author [[EverythingIsRacist over-analyzing everything]] and making factual errors. This prompted a hilarious response in the comments: |
