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.

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.

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.

Anyone who lives in the United States is well aware that health insurance feels like a huge scam. But what if hospitals and health insurance companies like UnitedHealth Group, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and others were actually honest about how horrifically terrible they are? Roger Horton investigates.

What if mattress companies like Purple, Casper, Nectar, and all the others were actually honest about how destructive and terrible they are? What? You thought that those advertisements were honest about the “sales,” the quality of their mattresses and “innovative” designs? Hahahaha. Well, you should probably watch this video, in which Roger Horton investigates all those mattress startups that look good to rapidly aging millennials and zoomers.

Are YOU a millennial who is gradually accepting that they will never be able to buy a house that is completely dilapidated? Well, Cracked's got a video for you. While things may seem simple for people on House Hunters , the honest truth is that real estate companies and realtors are total scum. What if they told people the truth about who they are and how they're screwing the people? Well, this is what it would sound like.

“If the spiders don't kill you, the birds will…”

Let's be real: If tax prep sites were honest about why taxes suck so much, we'd probably burn the whole thing down. Instead, we're stuck with incessant advertising about how stupid we are and how easy they can make it for us. But…is that actually true? Our friends at Cracked have the answer.
