Viral content rarely has the same punch on the second and third viewing as on the first. The first time I watched that classic viral video of a car driving on a scenic highway, I was positively spooked by the twist. Unfortunately, I'll never get back the experience of watching it for the first time, but repeat viewing isn't necessarily what “Scary Car Commercial” is made for. It was created to scare the sheltered neighbor kids who weren't allowed to watch YouTube at their house. Even if it does…

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.

Engagement bait goes crazy

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.

I don't know about you, but whenever I find myself falling into a YouTube hole, it's not just the videos that I am paying attention to. Whether the video is stupid, smart, or even some excruciatingly boring tutorial, I will go out of my way to check out all of the comments. The truth is, in many cases, that the YouTube comments are more entertaining than the videos themselves. While there are some sweetly appreciative shout-outs and usually some personal anecdotes from a boomer or two, there's…

What's in a name like Optimus Prime or Scar or Captain Nemo? Let's find out, together. This... is Canonball.

Longtime Floridians get it.

What I mean by "OMW" is actually that I'm still cozy on my couch and likely to stay here.

Ahh, your thirties. When we were younger, it was romanticized that by the time you were 30, you would have a career, a family, and your life together. In 2022, we are no longer 13 going on 30, we are 13 going on GERD-y. Sure the last 20 years hasn't been too kind to those 90's kids, but at least we lived in a time where we had Limewire, Vine, and Chat Roulette. Now grab your Tums and Ibuprofen and suck it up. All we can do is laugh at ourselves. Here's this weeks best laughs about aging into th…

Most memes are pretty simple. There's a plethora of different meme formats all basically expressing the same idea: good thing vs. bad thing. One popular version of this genre that's been circulating lately features an image of Mr. Incredible looking pleased juxtaposed with a desaturated and reverse toonified version of Mr. Incredible looking disturbed or traumatized. Via KnowYourMeme These memes are used to make some sort of comparison between two disparate situations. For example, the smell of…

The MCU, DCEU, Fast & Furious and other series are all about creating cool supervillains for our heroes to duke it out with, and yet they're all starting to feel a little samey. "Doctor" Jordan Breeding and Your Brain On Cracked are here to point that out and hopefully make it all stop.

Today Cracked finally reveals some disturbing, secret Sonic the Hedgehog lore that Sega almost certainly wishes they'd leave well enough alone. This... is CanonBall.

Know Your Meme's new meme review host, Aztrosist, explains how Mr. Incredible has become an everlasting meme going through many evolutions, such as Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny and Mr. Incredible Becoming Ascended.

Aztrosist is back with another meme review, this time about the viral "Kramer, What's Going On In There?" meme, which is a highly modifiable image macro taken from the popular sitcom Seinfeld.

Oh no
