ReplyFREE BED! :)
Replyis that one lady eating a leech-covered pizza?
ReplyGreat choices of pictures, I was hoping for more enlightenment, though.
ReplyBest article I've seen on Cracked in quite a while.
Replybabies are pretty delicious if prepared right (i like my grilled)
Replybaby, the other other white meat.
See now im hoping that you chose screen AFTER reading the article
Making an "atheists eat babies" joke (apparently popular on the interwebs) would've made the last entry. :P
ReplyLaugh out loud funny. A rare deserved kudos.
ReplyWell this was awesome. You won my heart at "I'm pouring the f**k out this milk."
ReplyThe Andrew WK one was the best.
ReplyI actually found Cody funny. Like, really funny.
ReplyDamn.
Good article. Somehow.
What, no "woman laughing alone with salad"?
ReplyOr more oddly specific: Men laughing alone with fruit salad.
I googled this and found so many men laughing alone with fruit salad!
Wow. So Cody ran out of ideas and started looking through stock photos that he'd be using if he was actually writing/researching a good article. Next!
ReplyHey, it's what I would have done!

That awkward moment when no ad shows up...
The bastards in #12 are the Wall Street stockbrokers who made it to work without getting tomatoes thrown on their $500 suits.
Reply Hide All See All 3 Replies$500 suit? C'mon!
Touche. Probably should have added another 0 to that.
They think they can throw a tomato at the man in the $17,000 suit?! COME ONE!
Babies make the best Soylent Green?
ReplyInteresting article, some of the jokes were pretty good (Free bed!). Would love to see a sequel of this, and you can make it longer by having other Cracked staff add their thoughts of the genres too!
ReplyDidn't really enjoy the article... it wasn't much of an article. I feel like I was misled when I came in here and saw "explanations" of the pictures. It was a quick photoshop that took up most of each segment of the article, and then a few one liners. So it doesn't so much feel like an article, but more like a weak observational stand up comic "Hey, how about those stockphotos! What's up with that? Am I right?"
ReplyAnd not a single dick joke.
It's not a Cracked article if it doesn't have at least one dick joke. The best ones have multiple ones, and if you can get a picture of a dick suit, all the better.
that was amazing.
ReplyI loved "fuck that person who can't eat pizza" the most :D
