Fantasy and sci-fi movies aren't known for having small budgets. As series go, the film adaptations of Harry Potter were not cheap. In fact, if we include the Fantastic Beasts films, the Harry Potter film franchise has cost well over $1 billion dollars. It's also made well over $1 billion, at least 8 billion on top of the film budgets. Numbers like this are a bit overwhelming for our little brains. So when we heard Cracked took a stab at Harry Potter f or their latest $20 Movies installment, yo…

Imagine waking up, ready to start the day, but realizing that your eyes simply aren't working. Pretty terrifying, isn't it? While going blind overnight might sound ridiculous, the truth is that it's 100% possible - and can be brought on by something as simple as stress or wearing a necktie. In this new animated video from Cracked, a woman who woke up blind (thanks to acute glaucoma) shares her story.

Cruises have been a luxurious way to vacation since, well, boats existed we imagine. Cleopatra's barge definitely seemed like a private cruise of sorts. Anyway, despite the idyllic image of floating around the Caribbean, or perhaps the Greek Isles or Alaska, cruises aren't always what they're cracked up to be. And today, Cracked's Honest Ads (with our pal Roger Horton) is here to delve a little deeper into what it would sound like if cruise advertisements were actually honest.

It feels like people have been skewering The Super Mario Bros. Movie since it was announced that Chris Pratt would be voicing everyone's second favorite Italian plumber (I'm a Luigi gal, okay?). But we need to talk about the Super Mario Bros. movie that preceded it - the aptly titled Super Mario Bros. Despite its star-studded cast (the late Bob Hoskins as Mario and John Leguizamo as Luigi) and strong Illuminati vibes, the movie isn't talked about enough. Until now. In this special episode of Ci…

As an elder millennial, I feel like ‘Serial’ (the podcast about Adnan Syed and the murder of Hae Min Lee) really kicked off a podcast craze that has grown, exponentially, over the past few years. These days, it feels like everyone and their mom either has their own podcast or is consistently appearing on someone else's. But what if these podcasts were actually honest about the content they're creating? Roger Horton investigates.

You already know what it is, it's your boy Stephen with a brand new show on Cracked where he absolutely eviscerates your favorite films. Uh, yeah, he's going there. This week on the Skewer Stick is everyone's new favorite action flick, John Wick: Chapter 4 . Prepare to get skewered (WARNING: SPOILER ALERTS AHEAD).

Everyone (including myself) has been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over John Wick: Chapter 4. The action-packed installment was a thrilling ride with a solid cast of characters. And I guess it got the fine folks at Cracked thinking: What if we made John Wick, but with a budget of just $20? Well, they did it. This rendition of the first John Wick film is definitely lower in the budget zone, but might rate higher on the “funny” scale. We love a bargain.

What up, fools? If you like enjoying original content from our friends at Cracked, and also happen to enjoy cinema, boy do we have news for you! Crakced has launched a brand new series called CineMistakes, and it fulfills both of those areas of interest. Their first video takes a hard look at Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, revealing five of the movie's most grievous mistakes.

If you've had zero reason to look back on your college application experience , you're not alone. The whole thing was humiliating. Sure, I got into a couple schools, but there were several that rejected me. It still stings today, and I never really understood why they simply wouldn't have me. If you've been wondering the same thing about the schools you applied to, well, then, you're in luck. Cracked has put out this video that takes an aesthetically pleasing and incredibly enlightening journey…

Star Trek has always had some pretty bizarre storylines. In this video, Cracked explores bonkers bananas stories that we can't believe made it into the popular series.

Nobody likes having to work for “the man.” Looking for said work might be worse than work itself. But what if jobs and employers were honest about the kind of work you'll be doing? Roger Horton investigates.

Real life is scarier than any Creepypasta

Fact: Not all Batmans were created equal. Sorry Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Robert Pattinson, here's ironclad proof that the best Batman was and will always be Kevin Conroy (RIP).

Most people who have gone to a gym have experienced their heavy promotion of personal trainers. I'm not rich enough for that luxury, but always found myself wondering if they'd help me achieve my fitness goals. That is, until I learned that personal trainers are kind of a scam, as the folks at Cracked so expertly reveal in this video.

Remember a time before comic book movies were popular? Yeah, me neither. If the past ten years are any indicator, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic doo-doo pile are here to stay. But what if Marvel and DC and everybody else were honest about how they make their dumb comic book movies? Roger Horton investigates.
