#9 to me is the funniest

Hell yes 11

I thought #9 should be the winner.. Then I saw #8.

Much thanks to #8 for giving me a boner (not my fault the McCain girl is so hot)

12/21/2008 12:18:00 PM

#20,#14,#12, and #3 made me laugh so hard.

Oh God, Statler and Waldorf...AND MST. I love Cracked.

#5 was the best fucking thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I beleive that strongly that it was.

I have to say this was one of the best Photoshop contests I've seen. I laughed out loud on several. Good show. Science Mystery Theatre 3000 is win.

If anything, they need a pimp doing the moderating. They he can be all like "Palin, bitch, shut yo ass up or I put you into a wheelchair upside down. What, you don't know what I'm talkin' bout?" Then he shows her this *nsfw* http://www.icanhassex.com/content/how_i_roll

Okay, so we've learned that no matter how boring or stupid it is, if you submit a GIF, it's likely to win. This is what, like the 5th GIF to win? Seriously Cracked, GIFs aren't that hard to create, stop rewarding the people with stupid ideas just because they can make John McCain headbang.

#9 should have won.

#9 takes the cake

OK best winner choice of all your competitions... awesome www.TOKILLFOR.com

10/16/2008 05:12:00 PM

Number 9 was awesome. I would watch the debates if those guys were rippin on the candidates the whole time.

10/16/2008 03:11:00 PM

Jasmyn

Oh MY GOD!!! # 2 was the clear winner... I'm laughing so hard that I will actually use it as my wallpaper

10/16/2008 02:16:00 PM

Daniel_Garcia

#9 HAS to happen. Could you imagine the candidates talking about the issues and in-between those guys making wisecracks?

10/16/2008 09:55:00 AM

DavidGee

#2 gets all my love.

10/16/2008 09:16:00 AM

Mecha_Moose

I literally laughed out loud at number 9 and number 2....man. Those need to happen. Maybe during the next election...

10/16/2008 08:56:00 AM

#2 wins in my book. I miss MST3k. Thank god for the DVD's.

10/16/2008 07:36:00 AM

Noirakita

Very funny, cracked readers, bravo! Excellent contest. Almost as funny as Murtha saying Obama will have a problem with racists. Kind of ignoring the fact that over 80% of the African American will vote for Obama because of the color of his skin. I'd say McCain is going to have a problem with racists.

10/16/2008 06:54:00 AM

Number 2 f'ing rocks! The photo ranked the second also rocks!

10/16/2008 05:30:00 AM

#2 is a mystery science theater reference. see the audience shadows in front?

10/16/2008 05:14:00 AM

Pliny

oh man, number 9 had me laughing out loud. I think I am missing the joke on number 2 though. Someone help me before this fact sends me into a snowballing shame spiral.

10/16/2008 04:41:00 AM

Gregoclock

Number 18 was the first one of these EVER to make me audibly laugh. Good job!

10/16/2008 03:35:00 AM

raistlin933

#1 was actually somewhat funny. #18 was the best though.

Have you heard yet? You can make America work again this election day by going out and voting. It's that easy. Whoever's elected next is going to take care of everything. You'll see!

You people don't know your shit from your face. Those debates were very entertaining and I learned a lot about shit watching them. Basically, fuck off and die if you didn't like the debates. They were bad ass.

10/16/2008 12:34:00 AM

Gorgar

The debate should have been a video of Jordan Capri fingering her ass and pussy while covered in oil

10/16/2008 12:31:00 AM

derekandclive

My favorite was the one with James Cagney in it.

10/16/2008 12:31:00 AM

Gorgar

#20: Predictable, but funny in its simplicity. #19, I could see happening. Same thing with #18, though you'd probably have to get Jim Carrey as the Riddler since Frank Gorshin's dead. #17-#15: Lame and too easy. #14 would be funnier if monkeys were fighting instead of bears. #13 I like the idea, but what if neither of them come out alive? #12: Pretty funny. #11 would be badass. #10 Great idea for an SNL or MADtv sketch, but not for real life unless Biden gets involved too. #9: As everyone has said here, that's one of the best ideas listed. #8: If it were on a "Girls Gone Wild" political edition and the elections took place at the same time as spring break (though there are places that are hot year-round). #7 Barack's smile seems oddly appropriate here, as if to say that McCain's going to be passed out drunk before he finishes. #6 was done on MADtv as a parody of "So You Think You Can Dance?" #5: Very...random. That's all I have to say. #4: That's a great way to get the youth vote

10/15/2008 11:24:00 PM

FirstClassHeel

It may not be the funniest, but #12 is the best photoshop. The shadows on JM and BO's heads match perfectly with the rest of the image's lighting. Anything MST3K, as long as it's Joel, should automatically win; with Nelson, it's a clear advantage, but no guarantee.

#9 & 7 are by far the best 2 but #4 is close, the beer pong champ will be our new president

numer 1 should SO be disqualified. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX1qNvRjVJ4

Number 2 wins for me!

10/15/2008 09:13:00 PM

Number 9 all the way but Number 2 was a close second. Essentially the same thing but you have to go with the classics...

10/15/2008 07:05:00 PM

I agree with number 9 so much it makes my balls blue

10/15/2008 06:52:00 PM

AnderX

#20 and #9 are my favorites. And now, after satisfyingly expressing my opinion, I shall steal away into the night.

10/15/2008 06:52:00 PM

HackerOnHacker

#1 wasn't that clever at all. Tell me it would've one if they hadn't made it move a bit. Definitely agree about #9 being the winner.

10/15/2008 06:24:00 PM

Planet-man

These are great! I didn't like #1 so much, but the MST3K thing is a great idea. And The Riddler as moderator is funny, too.

10/15/2008 06:07:00 PM

#1 should be disqualified. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/43703

#9 should have been #1. Statler and Waldorf must be rolling in their storage cases. >:O

10/15/2008 04:15:00 PM

#10 should be disqualified since that one was too easy.

9 was beautiful, those guys should be permenantly placed in the Senate.

#3 should win

nachoseller99

some of these were actually pretty good

10/15/2008 02:20:00 PM

#4 most accurately depicts what I'll be doing while watching the debate tonight.

A contest that was actually pretty funny.

#9 surpasses them all in brilliance.

10/15/2008 01:57:00 PM

lizimajig

#14 is the most creative in my opinion.

10/15/2008 01:52:00 PM

wuzzman16

man the top 11 were all really awesome... 6 is my personal favorite =)

10/15/2008 01:51:00 PM

Definitely #9 and #2 are great!

i dont get picture #2

10/15/2008 01:43:00 PM

SWEET! Mystery Science Theater 3000 made #2!!

10/15/2008 01:41:00 PM

eyeh8frogs

#9 was the best by a long shot. The rest are un-laughable by comparison.

10/15/2008 01:08:00 PM

LimboLarry

#3 is slightly funny, although, it should be quite clear who would win. Obama has stated that he believes in banning semi automatic weapons, which that pistol clearly is. So, if he's true to his word-wait, who am I kidding, he's a politician!

10/15/2008 12:48:00 PM

DocNoisewater

#3 and #2 are my favorites :). Why not combine them?

10/15/2008 12:35:00 PM

Howabominable

How would muting the thing make it MORE watchable? Then it's just two guys mouthing at each other.

10/15/2008 12:35:00 PM

Jack-O

what!? 9 was the best

10/15/2008 12:18:00 PM

joebounty

I like #9 and #2, but there are a lot of other good ones.

10/15/2008 12:17:00 PM

nchammer326

I think 3 has something to do with do you shoot your opponent in the head and starve to death yourself or do you shoot yourself and let your opponent starve. Or something like that. Maybe the gun is irrelevant and we should just maroon ALL candidates on a desert island automatically.

10/15/2008 12:13:00 PM

MissFit

9 was totally the best!!!

10/15/2008 12:09:00 PM

watchthetomato

9 and 3 are the best :D

10/15/2008 12:06:00 PM

#9 and #2 should have definitely tied for first place. I'm very glad I am not the only one who enjoys the Muppets AND MST3K. I've come to the right place.

fijimermaid

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

10/15/2008 11:44:00 AM

greengoddess

11 is the best

10/15/2008 11:40:00 AM

Roy-Drage

@Taylor They would be Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot. MST3K rules!!

10/15/2008 11:24:00 AM

scoobybass

The Riddler one is by far the best, though the Statler and Waldorf and MST3K ones are pretty damn good.

10/15/2008 11:19:00 AM

Jackygobang

Have to say I agree with the group 9 and 2 were the best.

10/15/2008 11:14:00 AM

Infinitiy Land

#18 should be MUCH higher, anyone of the cast from the old Batman series fucking rules...but still, #9 FTMFW all the way, THAT shit is instant classic!

10/15/2008 10:53:00 AM

Darkhaven

#2 and # 9 are tied for the best. @hotwheel89: Actually, the worst movie ever is The Blade Master and I knew this to be true a full 12 years before MST3K made it official by declaring it the worse movie ever. If you haven't seen that particular episode, do so. It's fucking awesome.

10/15/2008 10:52:00 AM

Potato sack race! That's how McCain picked his VP! (at 1:03): http://tinyurl.com/5zr47h

The Riddler as moderator was fucking priceless, and should've been much higher on the list. But seeing Mike and the Bots (and the old geezer Muppets) made my entire day!

wooooo MST3k

I agree on #9 - that just killed me. Overall this was the best photoshop I've seen, most of them were pretty funny.

10/15/2008 09:48:00 AM

Actually in Mexico there was an ad for yogurt like #1 And oh yeah, this is one of those rare moments where #1 actually deserves its place

10/15/2008 09:44:00 AM

#9!!!

10/15/2008 09:35:00 AM

how do you not get #3? Did you miss the gun in the sand?

10/15/2008 09:33:00 AM

taylor

I have to go with 2, i'm working on taking over Mystery Science Theatre! I'll give ten fictional points to anyone who can tell me the two characters names on that show...GO!

10/15/2008 09:31:00 AM

taylor

Not only would most of these be a better way to "debate," they could actually make some good money on Pay-Per-View!

10/15/2008 09:27:00 AM

CavalierX

Holy shit: for the first time, they're ALL extremely funny! And I've never met anyone capable of making me laugh who wasn't a fan of MST3K; that show is humor's lifeblood.

10/15/2008 09:22:00 AM

Mr.Tea

i dont get #3.

10/15/2008 09:19:00 AM

checkminus

#2 is the greatest picture ever posted on this website. MST3K is the greatest TV show not named Seinfeld. I love MST3K, and they would be FUCKING HILARIOUS at the debates. That would be incredible. I sort of saw it coming, since everyone would watch if MST3K was doing something with the debates. Best episode ever was Touch of Satan and whichever one had the Patrick Swayze Christmas Carol.

10/15/2008 09:17:00 AM

AndersonCouncil

#9 ftw

10/15/2008 09:17:00 AM

dannyjbixby

the only way #2 would be better if he made mccain torgo and obama the master.

10/15/2008 08:55:00 AM

spidermike5150

2 is definitely the best!!! I love that show!!! See the extra exclamation points show that I really mean it.

10/15/2008 08:37:00 AM

awesome-o

EXCELLENT!!! This article made me lol. Job well done!

10/15/2008 08:21:00 AM

scallywag

I guess you give points for animation, but I have to give it to MST3K. They make ANYTHING watchable. I mean, they made 'Manos, the Hands of Fate,' one of if not THE worst movies in existence watchable. Comedy Central should look into something like that.

10/15/2008 08:18:00 AM

hotwheel89

i like #2 and #8... But thats cuz i like girls tho...

10/15/2008 08:18:00 AM

Sneaky_Pete

I liked #1, but I like #3 the best....so glad the big hair band one didn't get in the top 20, that one just creeped me out

10/15/2008 08:16:00 AM

timsgm

i'd vote for #20, RPS should solve every problem in the world

10/15/2008 08:15:00 AM

Joelofthejungle

personally, I think they got the winner right this time. I really liked the blah blah blah scrolling along the bottom. Stupid cable news networks, you sillys, you.

10/15/2008 08:01:00 AM

a_penis

#2 and #9 were clearly the best. All debates would be far better if candidates were openly mocked for giving non-answers or saying stupid things.

10/15/2008 07:50:00 AM

LummoxJR

Statler & waldorf, MST3K were tied for #1 imho.

10/15/2008 07:46:00 AM

This was funnier than most photoshop contests. Well done.

10/15/2008 07:36:00 AM

GAWD!!! Why does it always have to get political around here whenever the elections come around? I'm so sick of everybody making fun of our leaders, you should all be fined and jailed for this. BTW my favorite is Debatin' 3: Electric Boogaloo

10/15/2008 07:34:00 AM

JasonVorhees

Quite good this week. Kudos cracked. (But I didn't think no 1 was the funniest)

10/15/2008 07:23:00 AM

In the future all political conflicts will be resolved like number 11.You just know they will

10/15/2008 07:15:00 AM

darkhorse: #4 is beer pong, if I'm not mistaken.

10/15/2008 07:12:00 AM

to dascrappa-#2 is about Mystery Science Theater. It's about a guy and his two robots who critique and talk over really ridiculous movies. It's very funny.

10/15/2008 07:00:00 AM

kellybrisbin

Most were good, but #3 was by far the best.

I would've gone for # 10. What's # 4 about?

10/15/2008 06:19:00 AM

Yep! Number #9 FTW! Let's hear it for Statler and Waldorf...

10/15/2008 06:19:00 AM

#9 or #2 should have won. Most of those were just retarded.

10/15/2008 06:16:00 AM

Agreed, 9 is tops.

10/15/2008 06:06:00 AM

So, if it's in the least bit animated, it wins?

10/15/2008 05:57:00 AM

9 simply

this was one of the best photoshop contests ever. kudos to all.

9 is my personal favourite.

10/15/2008 05:16:00 AM

Love the look on McCain's face in number 1. Wouldn't we all pay good money to see number 5?? Too good.

10/15/2008 05:05:00 AM

Starbite

ROFL #9 should have won it!

10/15/2008 05:04:00 AM

TheDirtball

I think 9, 18, and 3 would be the best (in that order). The Moderator is really the only thing that we can improve (unless you replace the candidates).

10/15/2008 05:03:00 AM

BayushiKazemi

Good LORD I wish #9 was true. That'd be so god damn funny. Life just isn't the same without their constant insults!

10/15/2008 04:59:00 AM

Kilvas

Number 2 is great, and it's actually what happens when we watch debates at home - we heckle the participants. Mystery Political Theater 3000. DEEP HURTING. Number 5 is also pretty awesome, perhaps most because of Abe Lincoln in a Foot Locker uniform...

10/15/2008 04:58:00 AM

Dwain
