Welcome!

NOTE: IT TAKES A FEW DAYS TO GET APPROVED FOR THE WORKSHOP, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE PATIENT! PLEASE!

Not all of you realize this, but the comedy at Cracked.com is not produced by a team of Hollywood professionals in a big comedy headquarters surrounded by comedy supercomputers.  Cracked articles and videos are made almost entirely by people like you: fans of Cracked.com who have a great idea and the ability to deliver on it.

So, are you funny?  Want to get internet famous, and have your stuff read or watched by hundreds of thousands of people?  And be paid money for it?  We don't care if you don't have tons of comedy experience.  We want you on board.

First, if you've already made a hilarious video and want us to see it, click here and post a link to it.  If we like it, we may buy it from you.

Otherwise, it works like this:  We have a hidden area on the site called "Cracked Comedy Workshop" where Cracked contributors and editors hang out and toss around article ideas and get feedback.  Almost all of the Cracked articles you see on the front page are born there.  If you want in, all you need to do is sign up to become a member if you haven't done so already (using the Login /Register button at the far right of the main nav above). Then reply to this thread and say you want in.

After we notice you've replied, which can take up to a few days, depending on how busy we are, we will add you to the usergroup that has access to the workshop.
 
At that point, you will get the "Purveyor of Dick Jokes" tag under your name, and you will have access to the new forum area (Cracked Comedy Workshop).  To find the hidden writers room once you're a member, either go to the main forum page (which you can get to by clicking Forum in the middle of the main navigation bar at the top of the site) or just come back to this page and click here.  We've made the area invitation-only so people won't worry about article ideas getting stolen.  It's contained and we'll all know who has access.

NOTE:  This is not a temporary thing.  As long as Cracked exists, we'll need contributors.  Don't assume from the date on this post that it's somehow expired or that time has run out.  It won't run out until the man shuts us down.

Do they have to be numbered lists? :P I kid, I kid.

Slap my sister and call my Sally, I'd love to.

I've been thinking of writing some real articles for a while.  I'm interested.

I think I would like to try. Hell yeah, I am down.

I'd like to try it. Where should we post articles for feedback?

I, uh... I would be interested in some mid-grade gasoline.

Alright, sure, why the hell not?

No promises on the actual quality, though.

I don't have a great deal of free time - or, y'know, talent - but I would be honored to have a shot at the Big Leagues.

I'm hungry Dave, hungry for the sandwich of fame! I gots a craving for two of slices fast women holding together the meat of money, a cut of late night partying provolone, and a huge dollop of rehab mayonnaise! Maybe on the side I'll have a huge mansion pickle, hell make it two! And maybe a coke of fast cars, I dunno I could go for a sprite. I dunno. I'm not thinkin too well, I skipped lunch today.

I would like to write for Cracked.com... and I only need low grade gasoline.  So, as I see it, every article I write is one tank of gas and at least two moon pies.  FREE MOON PIES!

Man I want those moon pies so bad.  And if writing is the avenue I must take, so be it.
