Every scientist dreams of a world without ethics. Whenever a scientist sees a set of twins, he or she secretly wonders what would happen if you surgically swapped their faces. They already have a chamber set up to harness the power of their screams as they gradually realize what has happened. Every day, ethics barely prevent experiments like this from being carried out.

But what if we didn’t have these ethics? When Nazi doctors were let loose during WWII, the incredible rate of their discoveries were matched only by the inadequacy of words to atone for them. They might have been monsters, but without them, we never would have discovered the yield elasticity of the elderly, or learned what part of a prisoner’s tongue detects the taste of angel meat.

The Sims 3 is computer game based on these Nazi scientists that offers us a world of moral ambiguity, free to perform psychological experiments away from the leering eye of ethics. Which is exactly what I did. Here are the results of my findings.

Creating the Patient
The main focus of my experiment is a man known as Subject Beef. An artificial intelligence created for the purpose of playing video games, he’ll find out that he’s also a cog in the unfeeling machine of psychiatric progress. Some people might get squeamish at the idea of torturing an AI just to write down what happens, but look at it this way: Any day now Japan is going to fuck up and finally build the robot that can make decisions and run on blood. As it starts tearing into my human people, the least I can do is make that an act of vengeance. Without me and this experiment, all that robot murder is going to just be senseless.

Body: I made him as fat as possible so I wouldn’t have to fit him with any kind of tracking collar. As long as I never turn my back to the smell of ham, he can never sneak up on me. Also, if the subject escapes, I can simply follow the trail of objects with bites taken out of them.

Accessories:
In prison, a teardrop tattoo under your eye tells people that you’ve killed someone. Outside of prison, you say the same thing with clown makeup. Science has always wondered if it’s clown makeup that causes a person to commit murder, or if it’s murder that causes people to wear clown makeup. That’s one of the things we’re about to discover.

Personality: I went to six years of middle school, so I know proper scientific method requires a control group. I also know that knowing what this means is for fags, so I didn’t include one. Instead, I gave my subject unpredictable personality traits like Insane, Hydrophobic and Can’t Stand Art. This almost felt like cheating since it saved me the trouble of causing the subject to go crazy, so I evened the odds by giving him Genius and Computer Whiz. Now he has the tools to discover what he is and what I am doing to him. I got this idea from Star Trek where some asshole said the wrong thing in the hologram room and spent the rest of the episode fighting an evil super hologram.

The personality tools of The Sims 3 are very robust. I was able to select his favorite food as pancakes, and his favorite music as Kids. Finishing up, the game even gave me a list of Lifetime Wishes to select from, and one of them was, and I quote, “Creature-Robot Cross Breeder.” I picked the hell out of that. The idea of fusing robots and animals together sounds comically impossible, but that’s probably what some guy heard right before he invented anal beads.

Creating the Patient’s Roommate
No doctor in the world would look at Subject Beef and say, “Sure, go ahead and stand near that.” Unfortunately, his psych profile got mixed up with NBC’s fall comedy lineup, and his landlord signed a–record scratch–baby to the lease!

The baby was given only one personality trait: Brave. His favorite food is sushi and his favorite music is Latin. I knew it was only a matter of time before it was destroyed, so I wanted to name it after something I love. Since I never learned how to spell pizza, I decided to go with either slam dunks or Dolemite. I went with a combination of both, by naming him after a dunk by the Dolemite of basketball, Darryl “Chocolate Thunder” Dawkins.

There wasn’t room to type in “The Chocolate Thunder Flying, Robinzine Crying, Teeth Shaking, Glass Breaking, Rump Roasting, Bun Toasting, Wham Bam I Am! Jam,” so I settled on “Turbo Sexophonic Delight” or Turbo Sexophonic for short. I took one last look at him. As soon as the naming stops and the leaving-him-with-a-madman begins, he is so dead. But that’s probably what some guy said one minute before watching his friend invent gorilla anal beads, and two minutes before winning the Congressional Medal of Right.

Designing the Mental Institution of the Future
I constructed my asylum with the default Sims 3 tools, without the help of any mental institution expansion packs. This meant a little bit of improvisation.

1. Crappy Fence - Surrounding the compound is a non-electrified three-foot metal fence. This is more than enough to keep anything in the game from getting in or out; robots can’t climb. And if I’m wrong, I plan on repeating these as my last words while I hug my own legs at the top of a building being climbed by robots.

2. Computer - In the center of the off-limits computer yard is a single personal computer. Installed on this machine are all the secret codes and Internets an artificial intelligence would need to escape and Lawnmower Man out. It’s not password protected, but the on-switch is labeled “TRAP.”

3. Treadmill - A simple treadmill blocks the only entrance to the computer yard. The only way past is to jog faster than eight miles-per-hour on a zero degree incline. Or, to translate that into Fat, “IMPOSSIBLARG, WHERE IS THE TACO BAR.”

4. Cake - OK, I’ll join you in fantasy land. Say the subject somehow breaches the treadmill security–these birthday cakes will act as a secondary deterrent. With a man this size, four cakes only buys us a second. But a second is all I need.

5. Teddy Bear - This toy bear watches the treadmill from the safety of its little pants. It’s programmed to see everything and mock nearby failure.

6. Kitchen - The sink works, but the oven is only a toy. Opening it only makes the teddy bear on the other side of the wall snicker at you. He’ll fucking hate that bear.

7. The Refrigerator Canal - Knowing the subject has a fear of water, I installed a hallway with a water floor. If he wants something to eat, he has no choice but to flail and shriek across the pool for it. Teddy bears line each wall, their ceaseless gaze judging him.

8. The FunZone - The only way to enter the FunZone is down the FunSlide. There is no way to exit the FunZone. It is completely and unsafely surrounded by propane barbecues and contains toys and games for up to one toddler.

9. Toilet Alarm - This is a state-of-the-art alarm system set to go off any time someone uses the outdoor and only toilet. It speaks 25 languages, and unlike my computerized medical subject, is programmed never to betray me.

10. The ToiletZone - Flanked by 15,000-watt search lights, the outdoor toilet comes equipped with an audience of gnomes. To add to the shame, a yellow arrow on the ground helps subtly draw the eye towards any men in clown makeup who might be shitting outside under spotlights and sounding alarms.

11. The Isolation Chamber - A simple booth of mirrors from which there is no escape. The walls will bring your reflection with them as they close in on you.

Experiment One: Observation Without Interference
I moved my subject and his young companion into the compound. Left to his own devices, the inmate went straight for the food but couldn’t gather the courage to swim across the pool to the refrigerator. Trying to look like he intended to do it all along, he picked up one of the sentry bears. I tried to make him eat it, since it’s what a coward deserves, but the only option was renaming it. Very well. Dark Lord the teddy bear, meet Subject Beef, the pussy.

I soon learned there was a flaw in my design schematic. The wall of propane barbecues wasn’t baby proof, and Turbo Sexaphonic squeezed right through them. Subject Beef stood over the toddler and, to its delight, chose to speak to him through the Dark Lord. He did this for 14 hours without interruption. Then he put the doll down and walked directly through a barbecue for no other reason than to show me he could. The sun was setting on day one, and the three of them already seemed to be making progress on an escape plan.

Experiment Two: Saw II
How far would you go to survive? Subject Beef had to make a choice–cross his deadliest enemy, a pool, for food, or let his metabolism eat his body down to a recognizable shape and slow death. He was content with option B, so I clicked the wall of gas stoves that recently replaced the very pregnable barbecues and told him to make food for himself and the baby.

He ignored this command, so I ordered him to Talk to Self, hoping he’d be more convincing.

He had a violent conversation with no one, changed into hot pants, and jumped in the pool. While shouting the international symbol for “I am drowning,” he swam across for macaroni and cheese. This experiment showed us two things: 1) survival instincts are more powerful than phobias; and 2) diapers are not to be used with macaroni and cheese. I’d like to see you try to prove either of those with ethics.

Experiment Three: Revenge of the Hydrophobe?

Observation: Subject Beef eats all his meals on the toilet, his body acting like a steady pipeline of disaster. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it’s almost like he’s trying to get back at water.

Experiment Four: Memory Test
While the test subject had dinner boiling on the stove, I interrupted to issue an order for him to go kick over a gnome. It was a test to see if his absurd surroundings were having any effect on his short-term memory. They were. With the adrenaline rush of the fresh gnome kill, he forgot all about his dinner, now a roaring wall of flame. His artificial behavior circuits analyzed the situation and selected “panic.”

The baby was trapped safely away from his aimless panic inside the burning ring of ovens. Also, trapped safely away from the fire was the local fire department, whose robot brains could only watch the facility burn from the other side of the tiny but robotically unbreachable fence. How did they get there so quickly? Well apparently there’s a malfunction with my compound’s toilet alarm that causes it to go off during fires. I may have to reread the directions on some of this equipment.

Experiment Five: A Glitch in the Matrix
After the fire burned itself out, a child services woman named Linda Duran magically appeared and sent Turbo Sexaphonic away. My experiments were going badly enough without interdepartmental meddling. To make matters worse, the government’s demonic use of sorcery went haywire when facing off against my fence technology. The toddler was warped away, but Linda was stuck.

Pinned to one spot, she refused to interact with Beef or me, almost as if the game forgot she was there. But Beef still knew. He refused to use the bathroom from the moment she arrived. He howled a picture of a toilet at her over and over, and she responded by staring through him until his bladder detonated where he stood.

Just to fuck with us, she showed she could move the whole time, and turned her back to give Beef privacy while he mopped up his shame. I’ll have to watch out for this woman… she’s pushing his fragile mind in directions I don’t have protocols for. Speaking of, since the government took the child away, I began removing toys from the home while Beef sleeps. I want him to think that maybe the kid was never there to begin with, which seems like an inadequate mind game now that ghosts are forcing him to pee on himself.

Experiment Six: The Cleansing Fire
Our anomaly Linda glitched more or less peacefully through the compound for a day and, despite her only partial existence, she could still smell Subject Beef, and pantomimed disgust whenever he passed near her. Fear of water and a thin layer of smoldering urine are a bad combination of traits to have near a bitch ghost.

Remember, I programmed Beef to be a genius and a computer whiz, so he figured out a way to get rid of her when I couldn’t: deliberately starting a house fire. Linda and nearly everything in the facility was destroyed by flame, except for the immaculate toy oven in the kitchen. It’s so not an oven that it couldn’t even start a fire while an inferno crawled over it. It’s so not an oven that its momma has to brown toast with a paint roller! It’s so not an oven that it thinks a pilot light lets you read while you fly the plane!

Experiment Seven: Fractures in Timespace

I might have overestimated my ability to control this world. The gateless fence continues to wreck havoc on the lives and intentions of the other artificial intelligences in the game. The neighborhood paper girl appeared by the toilet for only a moment to howl from between worlds and vanish.

Experiment Eight: Isolation
If I was a scientist in the real world, I wouldn’t be allowed to keep filling endangered species with different smokeless propellants until I found the one that ignites from inside a panda. But in the Sims 3, if I want to test a floor sealant, there’s no regulation against forcing a fat clown into a mirrored booth where he watches himself wet his pants to death.

I found that there is also no regulation on the human spirit, even a video game simulation of it. Day after day went by, and Subject Beef stood in that booth and refused to die. He babbled at the mirrors, glared at a bunny painting when I told him to, and every two minutes he would try to perform an activity described as “Contemplate Surroundings.” I had my finger on the trigger to click that away as quickly as possible. If he figures a way out of this, I fully expect him to be standing behind me in my world. I designed the booth to be inescapable, but I don’t trust that word anymore.

I noticed that four of the gnomes in charge of watching him on the toilet had left their post to surround his isolation booth. I don’t remember doing this, b-but I must have, right?

Experiment Nine: The Effects of Torture on the Afterlife
The subject survived over six days, his time, inside the booth with no water, food or sleep. The strange thing is that at the moment of his death, he still had a full Fun Bar, which is technical jargon for a bar that computerized beings use to measure how much fun they’re having. What did he enjoy about his slow starvation in a vertical coffin? I’ll tell you one thing: If it’s not the idea of killing me, then I’m a shitty scientist.

The Grim Reaper descended onto the corpse and made him into a ghost, which did wonders for the 380 pounds of baby fat he was still carrying. The slimmer, undeadier Subject Beef floated through the smoldering ruins of his former prison, and as I turned the game the fuck off, already shouting out the window for a priest to reconsecrate the pox placed upon my computer… I could have sworn for a moment that I saw Linda.

Experiment Ten: Attempting to Recreate the Experiment
When you create a Sim, it records a copy of them. This allowed me to go back to the menu and start the game over with a fresh genetic clone of Subject Beef and Turbo Sexaphonic. With science marching along next to me, I moved them into the burned-out, haunted remains of my old facility to recreate our grand experiment. What happened next is a true story: the clone rummaged through the trash for exactly 25 hours, then ran to the pool to sink and die. It’s like the first thing he did after being created was remember what I had done. Going over all this data, I can conclude that science and all the dark-sided Gozar-summoning magic it brings with it can kiss my ass.

    I attempted my own psychological experiment. My test subject (prisoner #2048852) decided the best course of action was to work out on one of several treadmills I set up before setting fire to the 2 by 2 foot room with the oven in. Things sort of went according to plan from there, seeing as the plan was insanity and death.

    This article made my brain tingle with evilness as I read it. It was so brilliant I recreated it myself with the exact same…well…everything! Subject Subwoofer (my name for him) picked up one of the bears ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POOL and got stuck, and I probably would have left him there to die clutching the poor bear in his greasy little arms if it didn’t look so pathetic that he couldn’t even wet himself cause of that darn bear. The clone, on the other hand did almost exactly what yours did. Dug through the garbage for about 12 hrs then repeatedly swims back and forth across the pool for 26 hrs trying to figure out how to eat.

  22. Amy Says:

    Easily the one of the funniest articles on this website. I wish I would have had the imagination to come up with a crazy scheme instead of making a shitty fat-faced version of myself (and the only worthwhile thing my Sim seemed to be programmed to do was start fires and break toilets). I look forward to your future posts :)

  34. CpnCrooks Says:

    This article was fantastic - it made me go out immediately and borrow a copy of Sims III, wherupon, i reproduced your experiment with a couple of notable inclusions:

    1) Subject Beef developed an obsessive teeth-cleaning habit, possibly as a coping mechanism for all the accumulating trash around the house.

    2) The sink broke as a result of his hours of continuous usage, resulting in it constantly leaking for days, and several times he collapsed in the pools of water with exhaustion after hours of mopping.

    3) The first time I reloaded the game, Subject Beef appeared OUTSIDE the compound; from there, he made his way down the road to the local swimming pool (hydrophobe??) where he ate a hamburger off the floor, then caught a taxi BACK TO THE COMPOUND and begged to be let back in…

    I laughed so hard I was crying. Being an avid Sims player (I don’t own 3 yet, but it’s just a matter of time) I was familiar with the glitches and demon possessions of which you speak. And was trying not to wet myself as you spoke of them in such an honest ’scientific’ manner.
    You are hilarious! Loved reading your stuff. Thanks for making the last 5 minutes (maybe 10 with the laughing) the funniest few minutes I’ve had all day.

  79. Crystal Says:

    Hey, just wanted to let you know that I just got done reading your story. I think it is great that you are so creative, and I can’t wait to read more of your other posts.
    Good Job!
    Haha, when I play the Sims, I always make them gay, even though I am straight, I get a kick out of it for some sick reason.

  80. Ceeb Says:

    I almost laughed as much as when I read Boatmurdered for the first time.

  81. amy Says:

    in all of my days, never have i laughed this hard. i was offered an inhaler, CPR, and a slap to the face. thanks… really enjoyed the column…

  82. Indigo Says:

    Funniest thing ever.

  83. The Splines: A Sims 3 Blog Says:

    [...] the way, if you haven’t read Seanbaby’s Cracked.com article Exploring the Mysteries of the Mind with The Sims 3 you owe it to yourself to check it out. I found it… [...]

  84. jim Says:

    oh man, i must say this is simply fantastic

  85. Rachel Says:

    The best Cracked article ever. It’s intresting to me that Subject Beef killed himself after remembering his past life……

  86. josh Says:

    Best Cracked article ever. No doubt a classic.

  87. Paige Says:

    lmfao lmfao lmfao lmfao i love you

  88. true vampyre Says:

    lol, this reminds me of when i ran my own experiments on sims 2. such as filling a house with babies and setting it on fire…. this led to a discovery. apparently babies are fire proof!. also all the other dead bodies of parents went on to become ghosts who literally drove my next family insane. good times

  89. ThatOneGuy178 Says:

    This NEEDS video! I would be laughing my ass off if I watched Linda phase into reality for a moment and disappear.

  90. Mindless2164 Says:

    I tried to recreate this experiment in Sims 3 recently.

    I followed everything you had done step-by-step, but he just ran straight for the trash can, messed around with it for several days and then he just dropped dead.

  91. Suggestion Says:

    You should use the sims video tools to record the experiment, then post it.

  92. Figfewdisgewd Says:

    This reminds me about a mod for the Sims 2 that allows you to grill/eat babies!

    Look it up on youtube.

  93. Zombie Says:

    the sims franchise should be paying you… now i’m gonna run out and buy it. since i have no life of my own i can replicate it on a damned expensive life simulator! awesome!

  94. Subject Beef Says:

    i’m back muhhahahahaah

  95. Stella Says:

    Genius, dude. This entertained the crap out of me. Best. Experiment. Ever.

  96. Asher Says:

    Read this at work and had to suppress laughter so hard that I cried. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

  97. Jill Says:

    This is soo awesome! I really want to go out to eb games and buy sims 3, i want to do the same thing with the asylum! kudos to you sean.

  98. marcel Says:

    i did this experiment in a real ‘asylum’ over the last 2 weeks and was surprised to find that the outcome was exactly the same as in your article, except for the bit at the end where you brought them back, and also a police officer came to see what was going on and my subject beef killed him and fed him to the baby

  99. Covertghost Says:

    I’m naming my firstborn Turbo Sexaphonic

  100. Brendan McGinley Says:

    This has been the only time I was ever entertained by The Sims, and I thank you for it.

  101. Liam Says:

    Fucking awesome. I love the amount of deviousness that this guy put into each experiment, as well as the crazy-ass nature of the wole thing, what with ghosts and stuff.

  102. Nitai Says:

    Amazing. Simply win.

  103. ñoña Says:

    Turbo Sexaphonic must be the most insanely hilarious name ever

  104. Sara Says:

    Fricking awesome! Makes me want to go out and get Sims 3. I’m still on Sims 2. Freaks the bejesus out of me when the AI characters stare at you through the monitor like they know you’re there. I have a feeling I’m going to have freaky dreams tonight thanks to this article…

    I have that game, I’m recreating that experiment. It was the narration that made this comedy gold, though. Kudos…

  107. Sara Says:

    That was freaking awesome. I had never thought about doing something like this before, but now I am going to try it. It just sounds like lots of fun!!!

  108. Isabel Says:

    Wow. That was great. I literally fell off my chair laughing.

  109. LordOfKarma Says:

    havent cried myself with laughter in a long time, great job

  110. kakuza Says:

    Amazing. This makes me want to go buy Sims 3. Seriously, go into marketing for the Sims 3.
    1. Join marketing
    2. Put this in Sims 3 advertisements.
    3. ???
    4. Profit.

  111. Harathorn Says:

    genius!
    This has so much win that if I try to describe it…(head explodes)

  112. Jay Says:

    This is freaking hilarious.
    So hilarious that I have began to keep my own logs of experiments.
    I have concluded that a sim can never truly be broken. Their mind will never truly collapse.
    I set one inside a room with the ghosts of his former friends(He did have an artificial life) and he thought nothing of it, he acted in the exact same way as the sim I put inside a maze with no exits.

  113. AJ Says:

    This article inspired me so much to install my copy of the sims 3 again to recreate the experiment and go further. trp a person in the computer room that hates technology and is a bit of a dumbass. Then keep it going untill the house is filled with clone ghosts. Thank you for gettin me to play my sims all over again.

  114. Kim Says:

    This was… HILARIOUS!
    If I ever get the chance to buy The Sims 3, I’m definitely going to try this.

  115. Time Wasters « Float Away Says:

    I couldn’t stop laughing after the introduction.

  117. Monty B Says:

    Can you really od stuff like that in Sims 3? If you really can do most of this then I may just have to get it, just to see what I can do to people.

  118. Morbid Says:

    This is the most amazing sims article I have ever read, and I’m very glad to say Good Job.
    Lol.

  119. hilarious Says:

    I NEVER comment on articles. Yours is the exception. I laughed so hard I thought I was going to throw up, and the random bouts of laughter coming through my room at 11:30 at night probably made my elderly grandmother nervous… lol!

  120. fuck Says:

    fuck. This is the funniest article on this site. I hope Seanbaby reads this and feels accomplished because he deserves it.

  121. spikevamp Says:

    Nice one.

    Anything that tears into the sims is good enough in my book

  122. Chris (female) Says:

    That was fucking hilarious. XD

  123. Kayla C Says:

    I didn’t find this funny, but it was very interesting. Nice job!

  124. Chris Says:

    This article made me mad… that I hadn’t come up with the idea first. Amazing! I actually spit coke at the screen from laughing.

  125. Sara Says:

    I thought this was very entertaining :D as a simmer… I laughed quite a few times

  126. Taylor Says:

    This really wasn’t funny to me.
    Interesting, but not funny.

  127. james Says:

    bwahahhaha amazing

  128. hen123 Says:

    that was shit
    i was told “read it its hilarious”
    its not.

  129. Rachel Says:

    Very enjoyable. I’m definetly going to copy this work in my own game. Remember: Copying is the finest form of flattery.

  130. Thargnar Says:

    Fucking brilliant.

  131. Pat Says:

    Oh my science, that was funny.

  132. me Says:

    i dont care what anyone says your the best writer on here

  133. Hyms Says:

    Crying with laughter

    i think Will Wright should pay you royalties on the number of people who would never have touched a sims game before reading this!

  134. Sridevi Says:

    Between this and the Yahtzee review of the Sims 3, I think I might give the game a new chance… Try something out of the ordinary with a new sim.

  135. SirAssbandit Says:

    26 tombstones. Thats my personal record. At least until i got bored.

  136. falvo Says:

    japan already made a fuel cell that runs on blood. hows THAT for creepy?

  137. smk Says:

    damn this is one of the funniest articles i’ve read on cracked

  138. Nerraux Says:

    Nothing the SIMS series or any of their clones has ever done has made me even vaguely consider getting a copy of the game. You may have just sold it to me. And I have a strange craving for pickles. That may be unrelated.

  139. Foxwäden Says:

    Lol that HAD to be THE funniest shit I’ve read, and re-read, in months. Keep it up Seanbaby.

  140. Boman Says:

    This is the funniest thing I’ve read in weeks. Maybe months. I’m dehydrated from the tears.

  141. Autumn Says:

    That was so funny! This just makes me want to game more so I can try experiments similar to that.

  142. Syrana Says:

    You make a very interesting point about clowns… *shudder*

    Fascinating experiment. I would be curious to see what others you might be running.

  143. Ishida Says:

    That’s hilarious!

  144. stephen Says:

    I want to get this game even more now. You sir, are fucked up, but funny as hell

  145. Savanna Says:

    LOL this is hilarious!!

  146. Claudio Says:

    This was… one of the most funny things I’ve ever seen being done to The Sims. Thank you for these entertaining minutes. You’re awesome.

  147. McKinley Says:

    LMFAO the last part was the best.
    This article made my day.

  148. Matt Says:

    This is freaking awesome, kudos to you sir, kudos indeed!

  149. sahir Says:

    These are the rockening experiments.

  150. Plaid Cat Says:

    This is hilarious. I have to recreate this experiment.

  151. Piro Says:

    This was disturbing but very enjoyable. If you try it a 3rd time does the sim commit suicide again?

  152. Will Wright Says:

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa, don’t make fun of my game!

  153. Tim Cuatt Says:

    Actually, you remind me of the AI called Durandal, having few ethics or caring for humans, manipulating and observing them just for the joy it brings him.

  154. SickBoy Says:

    That experiemnt frightens and amuses me. Now I kinda want to get Sims 3 so I can start some experiments of my own, but I’m also kinda scared to.

    @Sidheed — If you’re okay with joking about a world without ethics why do you take such exception to joking about Nazis? Surely an entire world without ethics would bear many more atrocities than we’ve seen in ours. It seems you’re just objecting for objection’s sake.

  155. Tim Cuatt Says:

    Absolutely brilliant, now I have a reason to use the actual life simulator aspect of that game!

  156. CohibaMan Says:

    Sidheed -

    Thank the gods that your opinions of “good taste” aren’t worth a rat’s ass here or anywhere else.

    Grow up and get over it.

    Seanbaby - keep up the good work.

  157. noirakita Says:

    I wish I was as cruel as you do to this in any Sim Game. This was great!

  158. Paddy Says:

    I usually don’t like the non list-based humor on Cracked… But I almost pissed myself reading that. From laughter that is, not because Linda was here….

  159. Turquoisel Says:

    HILARIOUS!

  160. Exploring the Mysteries of the mind with Sims 3 « Says:

    [...] Exploring the Mysteries of the mind with Sims 3 [...]

  161. Sidheed Says:

    I am really sorry in a way I see where this person is going, but sorry Nazi’s are not a subject I find very palletable. Fine a world without ethics, but there was no need for the nazi reference and as one of the grandchildren of a holocust survivor I find it in extremely poor taste and think it is the last thing you should be citing as humorous.

    My family were in the experiments you are citing and I do not find your references to them appropriate

    Just my opinion but kind of not cool guys.

  162. Caitlin Says:

    Wow. And I’m not just saying wow beacause I’ve been doing similar experiments for the last 4 hours. Truly wow.

    This was one of the best things i’ve seen ever! Please do more experiments!

  176. ofirissmart Says:

    If you guys liked reading that, you should take a look at “Alice and Kev”, a similar Sims 3 experiment with homeless Sims. It’s a story that has made me laugh and cry, it’s simply amazing.

    Kudos. You know this kicked ass…but we all deserve a little ego-stroking now and then.

  183. Kyle Says:

    OH MY GOD. Quite possibly the best and funniest thing I’ve ever read on this site. Laughed my ass off.

    OH

    I laughed until the tears came. And then I laughed until I snorted. Then I stopped because my girlfriend was staring at me like I had become an insane hydrophobic clown.

    Too damn funny!

  190. james Says:

    everyone at work is looking at me because i am laughing hysterically…

    this was way too funny

  191. Cloyd Says:

    I’ve read this like 9 times all the way through and I swear I bust out laughing everytime. I make fun of my friend playing this game, but this article has actually tempted me to buy it and mimic your insanity.

    Nothing better than in the old sims game then lock your sim in a room with no doors/windows/escape and with an espresso machine. Ahhh, death by pissing themselves!

  192. Lieutenant Aephie Says:

    Ahaha, this is brilliant! Reminds me of the far less-detailed psychological experients I used to perform in the original Sims! I’m actually considering purchasing this new version now so I can get back to work again. Best article I’ve read by you in ages. Thanks for the laughs.

  193. Henshu Says:

    Long ago, in the days of Original Sims, I gave myself the power to “purchase” fire. I decided that I needed a house with a graveyard full of child-ghosts so I made a bunch and burned them. Seriously disturbed myself with that one.

  210. seralynn Says:

    Was everyone really laughing that hysterically while reading this article o.0?

    Having played Sims myself and recognizing some of the ways you can torture your creations, it was kind of cute, I guess.

    Was ok, but really not all that funny.

    Just wonderful..

  261. Simlish Says:

    HILARIOUS! I can totally understand the last part about the sim remembering what you had done. Okay, so my sim, Carla, had five babies (not all at the same time). I was so pissed about the fact that she was going to have another. Do sims have the virtual balls to impregnate others, or do family-oriented sims just magically become pregnant when you change the active household? I’m still not entirely sure about this. I’ll be conducting more experiments in the future. Anyways, I moved Carla to another house ’cause she definitely deserves to be tortured. I incarcerated her in a really small room that was just large enough to fit deadly equipment in. Too bad pregnant sims are immortal until they give birth to their little spawns from hell. So long story short, she starves to death and I still regret not naming the baby Damien. BUT I didn’t save and turned off the computer. I killed her again… and again. Yeah, I murdered my sim thrice due to not saving and the social worker also came three times. Every single time I moved a new family into the house, a fire would instantly start in the exact same spots where the baby was put down. They were huge, long-lasting fires of rage.

  265. Jifter Says:

    I did some experiment myself with sims (original even) I created this young serial killer female in the system. She would welcome everyone to her housu , BUT only have one friend she liked, all the other visitors were locked down into to basement (build especially for these “visitors”), by luring them to that room with some pizza. once she had them I removed the door and they were stuck. weirdly, it didnt matter that their “sell” had a bed (crappy one tho.) and a toilet, they didnt want to sleep and kept yelling about it and soil themselves to death. I or she slept like a baby, backyard was this maze where she buried allthe victoms and of course hauntings did appear, BUT only at somepoint twelve o’clock, so no harm done ‘cos she lived upstairs and the haunting appeared only in the first.

    oh, well, I had dozens of victims but then my com freezed and I lost my serial girl… sometimes I miss her, she was my favourite.

  279. UncivilizedMike Says:

    This brings me back to the days of The Sims 2, when my brother and I staged a Sims version of Survivor, complete with 8 diverse Sims and a variety of challenges. Only there was no immunity, the loser of each challege just got dragged-and-dropped into a ladder-less pool to die. Good times.

  282. Shadowcran Says:

    At first I didn’t understand the specifics of what this was about. I’ve never played “The sims” at all so that was probably the reason. Still I read on and once again, I got a stomach ache laughing at it. I now want to put my own experiment on the game and thus may buy it just to screw with my own head. Heck, I’ve actually spent time in an asylum and would love to create a hybrid of all the craziness there.

    There was a guy who walked around constantly(except when he slept, and I assume he didn’t do that much) saying no, no, NO, no no, no. I didn’t know why but knew I should run for the hills if he suddently started saying, Yes, yes, HELL YES, FUCKIN A HELL YEAH!

    There was a guy so strung out on acid it made him a Houdini. He got out of 6 straitjackets, some of the last 2 had chains and every other restraint accessory. It wasn’t to protect others but to protect the man from himself. He often accused the tomato he had thrown out of his sandwich on the floor as floating too ominously. Turned out once they got him under control and medicated he was actually a pretty nice guy.

    Imagine combining those two above along with manic depression but being an internal optimist. Couple that with a fear of fecal matter to the point you’re constipated for months and we just might have a reliable test subject.

    If you are real and not just the ectoplasmic amalgam of the collective humor senses of George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Booger from nerds (He’s dead right?), you’ll know that I’ve been sucking you off in the comments of each of your articles.

    Once again, glug glug glug.

    I love all of the 3rd graders complaining about how long your articles are. I’d love to see what they’d do with a book. I’d wager that after hours of sniffing and trying to have sex with it, they’d scream at the printed author’s name for having so many letters.

  406. werewolfluver Says:

    awesome totally made me want to get this game even more!!!

  407. Captain Fluffy Says:

    This was simply AMAZING. I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard at anything written in a while. Please, do more social experiments!

  408. Sircell Says:

    I was not motivated at all to buy The Sims 3 from watching the commercials on TV, but after reading this article I’m going to buy it soon as I get my paycheque.

    You sir, are a genius.

  409. Gab Says:

    OMFG! I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! Damn, this is perhaps the best article I’ve read XD

    HAHAHA!!!

    I DEMAND A FOLLOW-UP!!! XD

  410. MildlyAmused Says:

    Oh my God. I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. I have tear tracks of joy drying on my face. Well done!

  411. uberschnepp Says:

    Dammit, you beat me to it. I was going to lure my sims into a public starvation chamber.

  412. Gingersnap Says:

    I don’t know what’s more disturbing, what you did to your virtual subjects and what they did to themselves! But still, I laughed.

  413. Battleangel Says:

    I’ve killed 12 Sims in the past week. I haven’t had this much fun in a very very long time.

  414. Emma Says:

    This was one of the most entertaining things I have ever read. Like really I thought I was going to cry I laughed so hard.

  415. Skwisgaar Says:

    And the Pulitzer for greatest article ever conceived in the history of literature……Seanbaby!!

    I literally pee’d a little during this dude. You have outdone yourself and everyone at Cracked. Please make a series out of this you goddamn literary mastermind.

  416. Subject Beef Says:

    I am a great soft jelly thing. Smoothly rounded, with a big red mouth, with bright green boxers covering the place where my genitals should be. Rubbery appendages that are supposed my arms; bulks rounding down into fat humps of soft slippery matter called thighs. I leave a moist pool when I stand in one place for too long. Blotches of diseased, evil gray come and go on my surface, as though light is being beamed from within.

    Alone. Here. Living inside the fence, under no roof, in the computer of Seanbaby, whom Cracked hired because their time was badly spent and they must have known unconsciously that he could do it better.

    At least the baby is safe at last. Seanbaby will be all the madder for that. It makes me a little happier. And yet Seanbaby has won. Simply he has taken his revenge.

    I have clown make-up. And I must scream.

  417. Joe Schmo Says:

    I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much reading one webpage. Thanks. Looking forward to more.

  418. Natnie Says:

    Oh my god. Not much has made me laugh so hard lately.

  419. Doctorchaos Says:

    I agree, I totally wan’t to play Sims now.

    I was giggling like a loon all the way through that.

  420. John Says:

    I’ve never really responded to anything on cracked, but god oh god was this epic-funny, but that’s just a repeated sentiment. This was great, I’m showing all my friends.

  421. SemanticIvy Says:

    Amazing. Really, really original and very well written!

  422. Zack Allen Says:

    You should be expecting a commission from EA any day now.

  423. Voidedlives Says:

    I have to say, I laughed my fucking ass off on this one. I laughed so many times that my bladder exploded and I had to clean it up, all while some pixilated and ghostley women stood behind me, face to the wall. Odd. Anyway, I performed a similar experiment in Sims 1, which made this one all that much more entertaining. Although, I felt kind of bad doing it, since the original Sim was based on me. Someone let me know what that means in Freudian?

  424. Anna Says:

    Loved it. This was fucking hilarious. Also a very effective advertisement for the game, because I went out and bought it a half hour later. It’s installing right now!

  425. JackLeroy Says:

    I have to say, I laughed like that in a LONG time! My neighbors probably thought I was being murdered by your clown. I absolutely LOVE your stuff! You’ve actually inspired me to download the sims game for myself. You should get some royalties!

  426. COol Dude Says:

    OH MY GOD. Best thing ever.

  427. james Says:

    wow… this made me wish that I had sims, so that I could be an evil sadist too!

  430. Babel Phish Says:

    Pure evil genius!!!!!

  431. Cody Says:

    I love Cracked, and I find 95% of the articles to be genuinely funny and entertaining. That being said, I have never laughed out loud as many times as I did reading this article. Positively sublime!
    Look forward to the next Sims experiment.

  432. Doug Says:

    so funny usually i do not laugh out loud for real but holy shit LOL

  433. mkg0004 Says:

    Genius.

  434. Mike Says:

    “I picked the hell out of that. The idea of fusing robots and animals together sounds comically impossible, but that’s probably what some guy heard right before he invented anal beads.”

    My word, that’s funny.

  435. QueenSativa Says:

    This is fantastic. You’ve inspired me to let out my own inner mad scientist on my Sims

  436. TranquilNight Says:

    Hilarious! So far, every article you did has been great.
    Please do another Sims experiment!

  437. b5200 Says:

    I’m gonna have to torrent this game now. Because there is now way I’m paying for a game which I have already bought twice but with upgraded graphics and a few extra features.

  438. GeorgeW Says:

    Oh, man. I’m still laughing from this one…

    “What happened next is a true story: the clone rummaged through the trash for exactly 25 hours, then ran to the pool to sink and die. It’s like the first thing he did after being created was remember what I had done. Going over all this data, I can conclude that science and all the dark-sided Gozar-summoning magic it brings with it can kiss my ass.”

    That is the best ending to an article ever!

  439. Duca Says:

    Holy shit, that was one of if not the greatest article ever written for Cracked.com. I actually pissed my self from laughing when you reported Beefate on the toilet. I will go buy this game immedietaly.

  440. Sophia Says:

    Categorically awesome. Encore!

  441. Anonymouse Says:

    Seanbaby, you have single-handedly created the greatest Sim EVAR. I will bear your babies now, posthaste.

  442. Exploring The Mind Says:

    [...] ..with Sims 3. Hilarious. [...]

  443. El Nimrodo Says:

    I never thought I’d want to play a Sims game.

  444. Arucard04 Says:

    Best thing I’ve ever read on this site. I look forward to your articles on Thursday more than anything else in my life. Shit, that’s sad.

  445. Shance Says:

    I laughed for a pretty long time after reading about the human-robot crossbreeder

  446. David Says:

    holy shit, you can actually do this in The Sims?

  447. claudia Says:

    this was probably a more effective advertisement for the sims 3 than actual advertisements for the sims 3.

  448. claudia Says:

    i will go out tomorrow and i will spend every spare penny i have to buy the sims 3.

  449. PeptoOverdose Says:

    I just got to the layout of the room and had to stop and say how delicously demented this room/zone/asylum is. Awesome. I guess I will continue reading if I can pull myself out of the fetal position.

  450. Ian Says:

    Two milestones:

    One of the funniest articles in the history of the site.

    And a use for The Sims that is actually entertaining.

  451. Bad Kermit Says:

    Diabolical and brilliant.

  452. Santiago Says:

    “IMPOSSIBLARG, WHERE IS THE TACO BAR.”

    hahaha!

  453. Caroline Says:

    This is incredible.

    seriously, im getting sims 3 and now im going to have to recreate ur experiment

    LMFAO hilarious

  454. Blondeh Says:

    Oh my GOD! I was laughing the whole time. I. Love. You.

  455. IGotCrunk Says:

    that was probably the funniest article ive ever read, involving Nazi war crimes and babies named like a funk album

  456. UnicornSoup Says:

    I can’t remember the last time tears came to my eyes from laughter. You sir, have won the Internet.

    Also, now I want to get Sims 3.

  457. DH Says:

    Words fail me. Laughter hasn’t…

  458. abbyabs Says:

    hilarious

  459. Granadog Says:

    “He did this without interruption for 14 hours.”
    XD Nice Seanbaby, you’re certainly getting better at this.

  460. Zerocyde Says:

    That was amazing.

  461. Mk0 Says:

    Thanks, seanbaby, i can’t remember the last time i laughed like this… hilarious AND inteligent

  462. discoinferno40 Says:

    Fucking. hilarious.

  463. Fearedtoast Says:

    “He refused to use the bathroom from the moment she arrived. He howled a picture of a toilet at her over and over, and she responded by staring through him until his bladder detonated where he stood.”

    I swallowed my gum laughing at this part, hilarious article!

  464. Silas Says:

    I don’t usually laugh my ass off on Cracked, but reading the description of his Mental Institution had me in hysterics.

  465. Paul Says:

    By the “howl a picture of a toilet at her” part, I was laughing so hard that I started crying and almost stopped breathing.

  466. TheLordOfDance Says:

    I could see a feature where you could, like, every 2 weeks or so, set up one of these experiments with different people and situations, and write about what happens. That’d be great.

  467. COMERcial Says:

    Seeing as I am too cheap to actualy buy this for my computer, I believe I’ll get it for my iPod. I’m only getting it to try a similar experiment, as I have always hated the Sims games. Kudos on the great article though.

  468. Nova_NIN Says:

    Wait a fucking second…

    Turbo Sexaphonic prime was taken away by child services…and government black magic

    But you did a Turbo Sexaphonic clone anyway….

    so….

    does that mean there are now 2 Turbo Sexaphonic?

    Seanbaby, Science DEMANDS you do a follow up article.

  469. Edge Head Says:

    YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST PERSON EVVAARRRR

  470. Denise Says:

    This is brilliant. Totally fantastic. I immediately forwarded it to my brother who works in a computer lab. He showed it around to the other guys, and now they want to set up a server with SIMS 3. They will try to set it up to look like the lab and all the characters will be themselves. They will try to set them up to be as close to their own personallities as possible. Then they will just let it run on its own and add a “hot chick” and see what happens. I say she gets raped….

  471. Thallia Says:

    Whenever a SIM becomes troublesome, especially a nosy neighbor, you have to either wall them up in a room or let them go swimming and remove the pool ladder. Sure they’ll make a mess, but it disappears when they die. And even if paramedics come, they eventually leave in confusion.

  472. Will.was.taken Says:

    Omg, this is the second seanbaby post that had me crying with laughter. The others I’ve read were dull, but I swear I nearly shat myself towards the end of this article.

    Seanbaby, you are a funny fucker.

  473. KSlane Says:

    This is, without question, the funniest thing I have read on this site, bar none. I’m in the silent section of the library, and I am crying with laughter. The Asians in the corner are staring at me with scandalized looks, but I don’t care. They know not the power of Seanbaby.

  474. erkimmer Says:

    I gotta try some of these now.

  475. TheUnitedEmpire Says:

    Classic, just calssic. One of the funniest I’ve read in a while. I’ve never played any of the sims, but I’m getting a copy tomorrow.

  476. lolercise Says:

    Freaking awesome. I love articles like this because I can’t seem to bring myself to abuse my Sims. This is the kind of thing I like to see Seanbaby write. Nice job.

    Scott Sharkey (another games columnist) did a multi-part segment when the Sims 2 came out that was similar to this.

    http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3134465

    The really funny shit starts on “Day 3.” Queequeg the whaler… Just pants-peeingly funny.

  477. Pig Fart Says:

    Holy shit… This article is one of the funniest things I have ever read on cracked. There were literally tears in my eyes and my gut was in pain. Kudos Seanbaby.

  478. DonZabu Says:

    I don’t know know why, but the part that had me laughing the hardest was the cake part. And the part about taking revenge on the water.
    Scratch that, the entire article was the funniest part of the article.

  479. Rae Says:

    Man, that makes Sims geeks everywhere feel good.

  480. jakeFM Says:

    you just made that game seem amazing
    solid article

  481. MQ Says:

    I enjoyed this article too thoroughly…I can’t believe the clone offed himself!
    I’ve played the Sims, the Sims 2, and I own the Sims 3. All from a very young age. Huzzah.

  482. Panzer-Stier Ross Says:

    Ahh if only Sims had online capability you would wreck the minds of so many people.

    Good work.

  483. V Says:

    Ah, torturing Sims. I did it in the first version and in Sims 2. Apparently Sims 3 offers even more chances. Sweet.

  484. Shrimp Says:

    Haaaaaaaa, this was incredible.

  485. Dudeman Says:

    As a student of psychology I have one thing to say:

    Wow.

  486. Earthbound_X Says:

    That was great! My favorite part is how he was having tons of fun being trapped in that booth.

  490. Heart-Shaped Boxers Says:

    I’ve been a rabid fan of your work ever since I first discovered your website years ago. Although EGM tried to water you down, I could still sense the love that you had for me in every article.

    After mustering up the courage (and staring at your red leather pants), I can finally tell you what’s been agonizing my soul: I am madly, completely, and unadulteratedly in deep love with you, too. Think about it, Seanbaby. Between your genius and my male uterus, we can repopulate the world after the climbing robots have drank their fill of human sorrow.

    I lie awake, softly sobbing into my ejaculate, and wait impatiently for your next words of subtle brilliance. I hope they arrive soon.

    WTF. I don’t even play the sims and this makes me want to go buy it. Kudos. I don’t know why I laughed so hard but man, great writing.

  493. Byron Says:

    I wonder if this would be funny if I’d ever played The Sims….

  494. Raven Says:

    Nicely done. How much are you getting for pimping Sims 3? Because now I sure want to go out and get a copy - and I’ve never played a single hour of any Sims.

  495. Eduardo Rodríguez Says:

    Sean Baby you magnificent bastard, your writing skills shall be praised for a thousand eons

  496. Cassandra Says:

    That’s great! Hooray for torturing AI characters! ^.^

    If I wasn’t trying to recreate my stories via the sims, I would be doing this…

  497. Tommy Gunn Says:

    @ IgnatiusJ

  498. DoofusMagnus Says:

    Pretty good. I had given up and stopped reading seanbaby articles, but since I myself have enjoyed countless hours torturing Sims, I decided to give him another chance with this one. There were some good moments and some lame ones, but overall an improvement from the other things I’ve read by him.

  499. felipechoque Says:

    damn, now i wanna play sims 3 and try to recreate the experiment.
    THAT IS WHAT SCIENCE IS ALL ABOUT

  500. Yen Says:

    The funniest article I’ve read in a long time.

  501. dr.dinkerton Says:

    this was the best ever. and from my experiance its ledgendary only told by the greatest. and i would know im apparently a docter

  502. Anaughtybear Says:

    This is probably the best thing I have ever read. I was crying.

  503. IgnatiusJ Says:

    I guess I’m one of the few who thinks this isn’t a funny article.

  504. Dan Says:

    For the first time ever, I’ve cried myself to tears from reading anything on the computer. This is easily seanbaby’s best article, and maybe the best one I’ve seen on cracked in general.

  505. johnangel13 Says:

    wow. i actually liked it. There is hope for you yet. No sleeping on this one.

  506. kevin24 Says:

    damn really funny article. seanbaby, you should do more sims 3 articles like this cuz this next to the 8 oh shit moments from mma is the funniest cracked article i’ve read in a long time

  507. m1ssp1nk Says:

    Haha the Sims 3 is awesome, and so was this article. Sort of makes me want to torture my sims in the name of science now…

  508. Becca Says:

  515. Mitchell Says:

    nice, i laughed so hard i cried

  516. Bonafiedhero Says:

    ROFL i can’t stop laughing, this shit is hilarous, prolly the best thing i’ve ever read on here. good job!

  517. Me Says:

    I have been reading cracked for about a year, I honestly thought I had become immune, but you just showed me, I can still laugh at the computer generated pain and suffering of others.

  518. evilgary Says:

    I’ve been reading Seanbaby since EGM and was crushed when it went under, but now that I see what he can write for Cracked I have hope again. Best thing on Cracked ever.

  519. BobDob Says:

    That was twisted, but amusing. If you’d like to check out another similar effort, albeit more realistic, visit http://aliceandkev.wordpress.com/. It’s the story of an abusive homeless sim and his daughter. It’s pretty funny.

  520. terpZ Says:

    brilliantly funny. i was still crying the third time i read it.
    The ToiletZone description, the picture of Subject Beef howling, and “the oven is so not an oven” all nearly killed me.
    Reading this article and not dying from laughter is like surviving the comedy holocaust.

  521. Bre Says:

    Wow… that’s even meaner than my evil fat man in a gorilla suit that’s always sad cuz I always leave him in the swimming pool or outside in the street….

  522. JPH Says:

    Holy crap this article made me laugh so hard I cried

  523. Jack Says:

    I was a few paragraphs into the article and thought, “This reads like Seanbaby.” Then I scrolled up and, viola! The first time I ID’d you by writing style.

    Also frickin’ hilarious!

  524. Joey Says:

    I’ve been a long-time Seanbaby and Cracked fan, and this the funniest article I’ve read from either. Holy shit, great work.

  525. Irishladdie727 Says:

    This was fucking hilarious, and you also made me want spend money on this game. Make EA pay you.

  526. RandyChimp Says:

    Funniest article I have read on here in weeks. It would be sick if it weren’t genius.

  527. Amanda Says:

    Dude, I want the sims 3 so bad, but I’m a broke bum D:

    This was hilarious, you’re a good writer :D

  528. guy Says:

    this was better when somethingawful did it first. for sims 2 and then about a week ago for sims 3

  529. WillBlaze Says:

    man i played Sims 3 for like 1 day and quit cause it runs so slow, the only thing that attracts me to this game is traits and how jobs work now. Anyone have any tips on performance for this? reading this gave me a huge craving to play it but i dont have a high end pc. -_-

  530. ZombApoc Says:

    Dude, that was so goddamn funny. I’m trying to be stealthy at work in my procrastination, but constantly laughing while pretending to work on spreadsheets makes that rather difficult.

  531. TheChronicler Says:

    I think i am now obligated to by this game being that I don’t have access to gulags or death camps.

  532. popeth Says:

    wow, and i thought i was sadistic and twisted

  533. MrLlende Says:

    My God! Mr. Seanbaby, you are a weird wild man. And I like it. After 4 hours of trying to provoke inappropriate sexual encounters in Sims2, this is exact type of sociapathic experimentation I devolved into. Can’t wait to try it on Sims3.

  534. Sarzipan Says:

    Haa this was the best article EVER. I, too, was getting dirty looks from my co-workers as I tried to muffle my laughter.
    I am also glad to know I am not the only one that “plays” Sims in such a warped manner.
    I like to make a really hot female character, sleep with a ton of guys and ask them to move in… once I get them to move in (adding their $ to my total) I would build a tiny house in the backyard for them to slowly die in.

  535. Venkmen Says:

    This is hands down one of the most funniest things I’ve read on this site and laughed so hard. Turbo-Sexophonic!

  536. funnyman Says:

    hilarious. keep em coming seanbaby.

  537. Arkannine Says:

    AWESOME!!!!

  538. Leon Botstein Says:

    Reminds me of one of my favorite vintage PWOT articles: The NBA Live review.

  539. Caveman49 Says:

    Excellent! Either seanbaby keeps getting funnier every article, or I’m getting more accustomed to his humor….either way it’s a fun ride!

  540. Steve Says:

    This was shit. Are the cracked writers even trying anymore?

  541. Ironmallet Says:

    This was hilarious through and through.

  542. smartaleck Says:

    That was really good. WOW

  543. amz Says:

    Hilarious! makes me want to try something similar!

  544. Sam Says:

    Absolutely hilarious!

  545. Lobster Says:

    Gemineye, you can’t really do all that. Just most of it. But for instance, you’d need to cheat to move him into the mirrored “isolation chamber” without actually building it around him, you can’t set lights and alarms to be activated by a toilet (though there IS a way to make a toilet generate alarm sounds at random), and saddest of all, that treadmill would not act as a moving floor. It would simply block that room off, and no matter how fast Beef ran he’d never be able to get by it.

  546. b Says:

    without a doubt the best article i have ever read on cracked, i’ve read cracked every day for maybe two years now and i have never laughed til i cried before
    just incredible stuff

  547. JACKBC Says:

    so fucking funny
    i just got the sims 3 and i am off to create my own house of terror now…

  548. Emily Says:

    This is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Grated I’m sick off my ass, but I don’t think that’s why. A newer, more sadistic Emily is returning to The Sims 3, and I’m done making cute little families that catch fishies and make goopy carbonara. Time to be a scientist!

  554. Actionbastrd Says:

    Very funny article Seanbaby, almost made me want to buy The Sims.

  555. MTB Says:

    I laughed out loud so many times my coworkers and boss started looking at me funny. Easily the best article you’ve written, I pretty much came at my desk.

  556. shlunk39 Says:

    I give this article 23 MECHA_LOLs, 5 ultra-ROFLs, and a half a pound of OMGs.

  557. HomicidalOrange Says:

    that. was. awesome!

  558. EventHorizon Says:

    This article, is the greatest article I have ever read, anywhere, ever. I was laughing so hard that I had to leave the computer just to be able to breath again. Never before in my entire life have I laughed so hard and that isn’t even an exaggeration at all. And I rarely do more then smirk at most things. But this, this was pure gold. I’m now exhausted and sore.

  559. JokersSqueeze Says:

    omg this is the funniest thing I have read in ages. :D “there’s no regulation against forcing a fat clown into a mirrored booth where he watches himself wet his pants to death.” Lmao well done great experiment

  560. Touick Says:

    Linda is a real bitch.

  561. Socketboy Says:

  564. JamisonPC Says:

    now I HAVE to buy sims 3. hilarious. i love it. i love it. good job :D

  565. Definitely Not Abby Says:

    I’ve been a fan of yours since EGM, Seanbaby, and it’s been heartbreaking for me to see so many people call you unfunny on Cracked. But luckily, ever single article you post, you get a new bunch of people saying they like you now! It won’t be long before you’re the king of this site!

    “What did he enjoy about his slow starvation in a vertical coffin? I’ll tell you one thing: If it’s not the idea of killing me, then I’m a shitty scientist.”

    hahahahahah…fantastic

  567. yettiman Says:

    That was a brilliant article. Its made me realise how boring and unimaginative my sim playing skills are.

  568. Gemineye870530 Says:

    Can you actually do all that stuff?

  569. Tony Says:

    And the main reason is someone ACTUALLY remembers the The Chocolate-Thunder-Flying, Robinzine-Crying, Teeth-Shaking, Glass-Breaking, Rump-Roasting, Bun-Toasting, Wham-Bam, Glass-Breaker-I-Am-Jam.

  570. DallozDoppler Says:

    wow, that was amazing. I want that game now.

  571. M.B. Says:

    This article was absolutely hilarious. From start to finish. Brilliant.

  572. Tony Says:

    Holy shit - I HAVE to buy Sims 3 now. Like now. No. Now.

    I have to admit, I wasn’t a fan of your writing until this. You have converted me. I love you. Have my baby, Seanbaby.

  573. Tuck Says:

    I think this could quite possibly be the best plug for the Sims 3 game on the internet. Utterly hilarious Seanbaby. I gotta say you are threatening DOB as funniest guy on Cracked.

  574. Mongo Says:

    At first I thought it wasn’t going to be funny but when he starts the experiment I laughed till I had tears in my eyes!

  575. Stolide Demens Says:

    This is the best thing I have ever read in a long time. I am most assuredly getting this game.

  576. good goddamn Says:

    this was educational AND terrifying.
    *quivers in the corner during catholic school flashbacks*

  577. Fisto McPuppypuncher Says:

    That was the greatest article i have read in a long time.
    Thank you Seanbaby

  578. Soulhunter4444 Says:

    I wasn’t expecting much when I initially read this article, thank you for proving me wrong. I loved it and my coworkers keep staring at me for my restrained laughter.

    I’m keeping a better watch for your articles as I conduct my own experiments.

    Bloody well done.

  579. ofareggie Says:

    holy lol batman. that was one of the greatest things i’ve ever read.

  580. InuGhost Says:

    I know its likely completely impossible but is it possible for you to do another article like this? I found it to be utterly hilarious and thought provoking. What if it had been a family of 6 utterly disfunctional and hating each other like you see on sitcoms. Would they kill each other off? WHo would ultimately survive? If they couldn’t get to the food would they resort to canabalism, or choose to starve to death? So many questions and yet not enough answers.

  581. TenTonApe Says:

    If only you had recorded this

  582. RoboSllim Says:

    This is the only time I have ever said this here or anywhere: I couldn’t stop laughing. I am honestly tired from reading this article. You’re a genius with words, Seanbaby!

  583. JoeCB1991 Says:

    I have to buy this game!

  584. bobbyd84 Says:

    the nazi scientist/sims 3 transition was where i started laughing like an ass in my anthro class. funniest thing i’ve read in a long time.

  585. CrackedEgg Says:

    Damn Senor Bebe, excellent work.

    I think you are not only a great spokesman for the Sims 3, but also that this is a definate step in the right direction for your time here on Cracked.

    I can’t wait for more. Please consider Sims experimenting again, part 2 or maybe you could have a recurring Sims thing now and then. This was truly awesome.

  586. Fealiks Says:

    This was the best article ever written by anybody, ever.

  587. shankar Says:

    really you are the best now seanbaby

  588. Lobster Says:

    My Sim was a creature-robot crossbreeder too, then became a mad scientist. He shot the toilet with a raygun.

    Now the toilet randomly beeps at people. He also made the couch shriek like a siren.

    I suggest scientists looking to recreate this experiment look in to hiring help within the context of the game.

  589. PJ Says:

    Freaking hilarious, I actually laughed out loud.

  590. Tiffany is the LAW Says:

    wat? I didnt find this funny at all - dissapointing actually - almost as bad as the cellphone ad today

  591. ArchieAnderson Says:

    Seanbaby, you have earned my respect :) I have to say I wasn’t much of a fan until now, but after this I’ll keep an eye out for your articles. Great stuff, man!

  592. andrew Says:

    I must get this game and perform my own experimentation

  593. Michelle Says:

    Most brilliant thing I have ever read. I laughed SO hard. Kudos.

  594. Secular Says:

    Words fail me.. that was simply amazing.

  595. andy Says:

    you sir, have just convinced me to get hold of this game, so i too can do insane things for shits and giggles/in the name of science.

  596. MrPaint Says:

    I’m calling Hollywood, I’ll get this story in the movie theaters if its the last thing I do.

  597. Derekis4Lovers Says:

    I think that was the funniest thing I’ve ever read on this site.

  598. Questionable Says:

    Ye Gods, you are fucking awesome, Sean!

  599. Dannie Says:

    “He refused to use the bathroom from the moment she arrived. He howled a picture of a toilet at her over and over, and she responded by staring through him until his bladder detonated where he stood.”

    Oh man, my stomach … phew.

  600. darf Says:

    i couldn’t count the number of articles i’ve read on this site, but that was the funniest damn thing i’ve ever seen here.

  601. WowWhatAGuy Says:

    I laughed so hard throughout this entire article…. freakin’ hilarious!

  602. ZIGGI Says:

    dude ur awesome

  603. Airik Says:

    That was great fun!

    Something Awful’s Sims 3 experiment was even better though

  604. Christine Says:

    I love this game but you guys took it to a whole level of greatness, wow!

  605. Devlin Says:

    I like Seanbaby. He is funny.

  606. Action Figure Man Says:

    A similar experiment with the Sims 3 was done at Something Awful.com (http://tinyurl.com/o7gksd) but this one is better. (I promise that’s a link to SA and not to some shitty dating site)

  607. Scobot Says:

    That was awesome, man. Just the whole idea of this is hilarious, you sick, twisted bastard. HAHAHAHA!!! Great job!

  608. Darkmage Says:

    Ah The Sims!
    For years my mate has enjoyed luring people into his Sim-attic and then walling them in.
    He walled in a father and son in adjacent rooms with a window so they could see each other and then gave the kid an RC car but not enough room to play with it.
    He really is a sick, sick man.
    As he now has Sims 3 I think I will refer him to this article. You think alike! :D

    Awesome stuff!

  609. DERP Says:

    “Observation: Subject Beef eats all his meals on the toilet, his body acting like a steady pipeline of disaster. If I didn’t know better, I’d say it’s almost like he’s trying to get back at water.”

    Lol’d.

    Excellent article.

  610. CoMa7oSe Says:

    Holy shit. I haven’t laughed like this in ages. Now I’m in pain and everyone around me thinks I’m insane. Fuck you, Seanbaby.

  611. kurtofan Says:

    Best.Article.Ever.

  612. Deathwish Says:

    This is perhaps the greatest accomplishment of science since Darwin’s “The Origin of Species.” You, sir deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for this epic win.

  613. Jenni Says:

    I just laughed, the entire time I was reading that.
    Good work!

  614. melissa Says:

    I don’t think i’ve laughed this hard EVER! now i want to get sims 3 and run my own experiments.. I have tears in my eyes and am pretty damn close to wetting myself. THANK YOU

  615. jestergoblin Says:

    I was doing fine reading this at work until:

    “What happened next is a true story: the clone rummaged through the trash for exactly 25 hours, then ran to the pool to sink and die. It’s like the first thing he did after being created was remember what I had done.”

    I haven’t laughed that hard at my desk in ages.

  616. BuckleAu Says:

    Disturbing…. yet…. fascinating.

  617. whitenerd Says:

    i laughed my ass off

  618. Mr.Putter Says:

    I just got the Sims 3 last night and it was okay, then I read this today. I think I’m going to have to play it again now . . .

  619. Daniel Says:

    There is a word to describe the level on which I find this absolutely hilarious… Appalling? Awed? Whatever. You’re an evil, cold-hearted bastard. And, provided more articles like the last two follow, never change.

  620. Anonymous Says:

    Another great article, thanks very much SB.

  621. Will Says:

    Hahahahahahahahah. Awesome post.

  622. Paradiddums Says:

    Win. Awesome article.

  623. Wallsy Says:

    This is incredibly awesome. :-D

  624. Belgiumbear Says:

    Fucking massive epic win. Holy shit of Awesomeness. Those are some of the ways to describe this articles. I rest my case.

  625. Gigs Says:

    This is one of the most hilarious things i have read on cracked.

  626. Clara Says:

    This was fantastic and highly inventive. But the game looks and sounds like it sucks.

  627. RF_23 Says:

    Great article, I dedicate this video to your grandness http://www.collegehumor.com/videos/playlist:hotgirls#1911131

  628. Chewbacca Says:

    I totally want this game now.

  629. Cherlindrea Says:

    Wow, that was an awesome study of evil geniusness. I think Sims might possibly be demonic, somehow.

  630. Esmoreit Says:

    That was fucking epic! Seriously, I’ve done some cruel things in the sims (inviting the whole neighbourhood for a 25-set BBQ then, closing the surroundings and blowing it up, inviting the whole neighbourhood for a swimming party, then remove the stairs out) but I have never been able to recreate anything like this! Your awesome!
