6 Stupid Characters That Hollywood Now Puts In Every Movie

I don't even know where to begin with that anecdote gathering and poorly viewed movies.

I don't think David Bell watched the movies he is bashing, but thankfully the comment section already took care of it.

I feel like this comment sufficiently sums up my feelings about this subject,

"Anyone else remember when the average Cracked article was half a dozen awesome science/history/something else related facts backed up with evidence and flavoured with knob gags? These days the average article appears to be more along the lines of '6 Random Opinions Of Mine I Think Everyone Shares' and are backed up with misinterpreted, selectively sampled evidence which is crudely stretched around the jokes someone stuck in there. Some better articles recently and the personal experiences stuff is always worth a look, but I don't think opinion pieces have a place here. They all too often seem to be forced, mean spirited and slightly lazy."

Especially if they're from Gladstone or David Wong.

Yeah that's basically it.

I miss the goofy articles more than the fact based ones (which actually had a fairly large Did Not Do The Research section on them, which granted involved a lot of nit-picking, but the same could be said about all the comments on the fact based articles, which may be why there is so few of them, why do all the work when people are going to go out of the way to say you missed tiny detail 'x'?)

Yay another comic article. Can't believe some people don't like the Archie horror series.

@indiantroper- Oh God, yes.

The sex work chronicles continue.

At least this one wasn't by Robert Evans.

In other news... guess what turns up at #2 on the latest Photoplasty, "15 Embarrassing Secrets You Hope Hackers Don't Release".

(No, not bronies.)

(That's #1.)

"Breaking News: Anonymous Releases List of Bronies"

So... Anonymous just published its own roster, then?

I don't know, there are many anons on 4chan who loathe the ever living shit of bronies and their tendencies to flood every board with MLP or keep posting MLP off topic on threads outside /mlp/.

Plus most of the cringe threads on reddit, 4chan and tumblr revolve around mocking bronies.

Maybe they're very self-effacing?

Depending on where you go, yeah.

So I think J.F found Cracked's dethroning moment of suck page.....

Also remember the troll who impersonated me? He's back but he's not insulting me anymore and accepted my friend request.

Yep. I Ghandhi'd the son of a bitch.

I think we got a new Dethroning Moment Of Suck for cracked. Talk about cherry-picking and Did Not Do The Research

Guess JF Sergeant took over Adam Todd Brown's position. Or Nick Pell's. Whichever you prefer.

Huh. That's a lot of TV Tropes readers in those comments. Didn't know we shared that much of an audience with Cracked.

Then again, they both fall under the category "informative time waster", so I guess it makes sense.

They're kinda raining on him. And I thought the dick that impersonated you was TIG-ell-ell rather than TIG-11, TIG-prime?

Would it be safe to say that a huge majority of Cracked's writers are hipsters? Because they sure seem to act like it.

Sargent and Bell are pretty much the biggest hipsters on the site. ATB has moved on from that schtick, and Pell hasn't written anything in months (and considering how his articles had a VERY low viewcount, I hope it's permanent). Mc Kinney is mainly an idiot who should stick to writing science factoids and satirical articles on actual assholes (his Donald Trump article deserves a sequel), since his feminism schtick is the most annoying out of everyone's feminism schtick.

Of course JFS is annoyed with Dethroning Moment Of Suck but if he was to apply the same standard he did to the Cracked comment section as he did to TV Tropes he'd have to mention or include Cracked's forums and comment sections since most of the Dethroning Moment Of Suck entries about him can be directly lifted from the comment sections and pasted on the page.

DMOS is one of the cesspits of our site and I wish we could do away with it.
