Not even a shadow of its former self
July 24, 2025

I used to read this site every day, and it had actual funny articles. At some point, and I don't know why, it just massively went downhill, and switched to roundups of Reddit and Twitter posts- still I would occasionally drop in. Now it seems to be posting spoilers (in the headlines, no warnings) for the latest episodes of south park and always sunny, hours after they have been broadcast in the US and before they're even accessible in my country. Worse than useless

Wow what a fall from grace
August 25, 2024

Used to be my favourite site to waste time on. I honestly don't know what happened. They fired everyone funny and just kept one briandead person to collect "funny" tweets to post. So essentially they just steal other people's jokes now, which aren't even good. To cap it off the site is such garbage it doesn't even load for like 2 minutes.

You ran a great site into the ground just put it out of its misery already.

Needless eye rolling defamation
April 28, 2024

Saw an article about Robin Williams not getting the part of hagrid because as an American they wanted an all UK cast. They couldn't help but try and take a swipe at jk Rowling, who "smoothly transitioned from adored children's author to abhorred tranphobe". This greatly took away from the actual story of the article, the author came across as a petty child with a thesaurus. Sad really but looking at other reviews, that's cracked these days

Used to be really funny, now it's just occasionally interesting trivia and mostly far left propaganda. I can forgive the stupidity but not the lack of anything resembling comedy.

I bought some cheap jewelry from their store. I received the wrong items. I've been bugging their "support heroes" almost daily for either the right item or a refund, with zero help.

I have been a long time fan and reader of cracked, over 10 years actually. Be it a good laugh, a genuinely interesting read or citing statistic sources to support or challenge my thoughts. I always appreciated the contributions of the comics/writers.

These times are sadly gone.

I encourage people to visit cracked and enjoy their old content but be prepared to fight through the SJW agenda minefield to find it.

Used to be good, now a dissapointment
February 1, 2018

I used to love this website. The articles were funny and informative. Now half the articles are political and the articles that are not have some political jabs thrown in (all one sided)
Also the store part is all sales final (cannot return defective or unsatisfactory products)
Too bad it has gone to s***. I used to read everyday, but after about 6 months of being mostly crap, it is off my saved bookmarks.

It changed suddenly
June 23, 2017

I read Cracked magazine during the late 80's and early 90's. It was a great satirical magazine with articles like "Shut-ups" and spoofs on innocent brand name characters from mainstream.

After the magazine failed, they built a website around 2005. It was fairly innocent with it's satire poking fun at movies and character flaws. Then in 2016 Donald Trump won the Republican primaries and it seemed like marxists like George Soros bought the website and now all the articles are about destroying Trump at any cost.

I don't mind jokes about politicians and Donald Trump certainly is no exception now but the writing is not even funny. It is vial and gross with no thought given to any alternative opinions. Where were all these comedians for the last 10 years?

I followed cracked on Twitter and subscribed to their YouTube channel almost 2 years ago and for a while I really enjoyed their content. However, the few months before, during, and after the 2016 presidential election, cracked went from being a satirical comedy website to being a completely SJW, right-hating, whiney group of people who happened to have access to a website to cry about not getting their way. I will not call any of these crybaby writers "democrats" since being affiliated with a political party is for adults, and none of these people can handle a loss like an adult.

Their Twitter account went from fun articles and silly lists that didn't take themselves too seriously, to lists about reasons why Donald Trump is going to take all their birthday and Christmas presents on the same day. Every other article criticizes literally anything the president does, which gets very annoying.

Their YouTube channel also went through a change. Apparently since I'm a man and I also own a gun, I'm the worst person to exist since Chad Kroeger. They make videos criticizing people the exact same way the people who hate Muslims do. Which they hate. If I wanted to listen to someone tell me how horrible I am every day, I would go hang out with my ex girlfriends $#*! $#*! mom.

I had to unsubscribe/unfollow both of these sites, because the election was almost 7 months ago, and they aren't over it.

Here's an idea for Cracked, if any of your staff are reading this. Take the 8 far-left, SJW, Hillary Clinton groupies that are ruining your site and make a completely different site for them. Call it "CrackedBlue" or "Keeping up with the president" or something. Take these people out, and let cracked go back to its former glory.

Before anyone jumps to any conclusions, no, I do not support Donald Trump and I'm not a big fan of him. I am an adult though, and I'm not going to whine because the person I voted for didn't win the election. I never write any reviews for anything, ever, but I looked at Twitter today and saw how childishly Cracked responded to the presidents typo in a tweet. Not the funny kind of childish, but childish like that kid who would make jokes that were funny when you were 3, and were 11 years old now. They're the kid who had no clue he wasn't funny, because he laughed at his own jokes every single time. Anyways, Cracked makes my eyes roll every time I come across their stuff, and needed to get this out there. Please fix cracked. Thank you.

The site has some very funny articles it's true but it's marred by a few writers click-baiting people mostly with generalizations, liberal gate-keeping just antagonizing their readers for anger clicks. When every page has something about how games are sexist men are Terrible or or at the least clueless sexist idiots... it gets old. I have seen the results three little brothers and they come to their sister for advice over the last two years two of them have become nervous of even saying hello to a girl because thats "assault" or rude or "assuming she's there to be interacted with by them". Meanwhile my other brother has become a red pill jerk to counteract it because he needs somewhere where his basic want to have a girlfriend and flirt isn't seen as evil. If he can't go to the liberal leaning sites he'll go elsewhere. Unfortunately he picked the "alpha" crazies over at the red pill. It's not just cracked don't get me wrong a but when they can't even go to a curated humor site where can they go?

I'm considered center left in Europe and flaming liberal in the u. S and they've managed to irk me. If your reading this and any of the stuff about my brothers rings true to you then remember the fact that you realize that their is a boundary and that shes a person means they aren't talking about you. :)

Comedy site gone full SJW
February 6, 2017

Used to love cracked and read it every day till they decided they didn't want to make america great again like the rest of the united states.
You lost cracked. Get over it.
When you decide to keep politics out of your posts and actually make them funny again I'll think about comming back.
Oh and by the way Trump 2020

So much potential
October 17, 2016

Cracked.com could have been great. It has lots of great articles, lots of giggles, and some semi-verifiable info. (hey, its no worse there than Wikipedia) But regardless the computer or device I use, the website never displays reliably. Always freezing up. If it worked it'd be a 5 star.

For entertainment purposes only
July 12, 2016

This is a comedy site. I wouldn't ever go to it to actually look up "facts". Also it's a certain kind of comedy that appeals to certain people. For example, those who are easily offended by profanity shouldn't read it. Personally, I find it entertaining. There is a way you can sign up to actually submit your own articles, but the last time I tried it, they had done such a poor job of explaining the process that I gave up on it. They might've improved it since though.

Once upon a time cracked was a good site, now they have stopped giving damned about people or facts. It is easy to be entertaining if you just make $#*! up, especially if you don't give a $#*! about the anything or anyone.

If you like vast generalizations which are unsupported by tangible evidence then you will LOVE this podcast! Also I find the social insights of the elitist, 20 something, male extremely valuable! I mean if there's one thing lacking in our society its more forums for young men, such as these, to express commentary on getting drunk at Rutgers or their hazy experiences at Burning Man. Thanks for keeping the pedestrians informed Cracked.com!

It's difficult to rank this site
March 30, 2014

It's difficult to rank this site. There's a wide range of authors, some interested in the truth and some not. Some funny and some just gross, sensational, stupid, or sexist. Overall, though, this is one of my favorite infotainment sites, because some of the authors do a great job of humorously telling you really interesting (even sometimes important!) information. Beware, though, because some flat out misrepresent the truth to make something look shocking or funny, or just to fit their topic.

So, for some authors, I give an enthusiastic 5 stars! For others, 3-4 stars. And for some: 1 star.

The articles on Cracked are both funny and informative. That's an addictive combination that can turn you into a victim of missing time! I've learned about so many off-the-wall facts and events from this awesome little time-killer. I liken the experience to hitting the "Random Article" button on Wikipedia, but more entertaining. The writers are awesome! My only possible gripe is that I'm not interested in every topic that's written about. This is really not a gripe. It's just a matter of opinion and taste, but I have to say something bad because I have an overload of karma that's been overheating my heart...
