Lol TMan go watch the one about the best background performances. I'm sure G-Stone would make you his new best friend if he saw that comment

Ah, back from when you had crappy mics and camera quality.

05/18/2009 04:26:00 PM

Wren

you were realy close to the camera.

look up the last one on youtube its really disturbing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kr2gWhR3UjI

Whats the song at the end in the tribute?

I think I'm like the 5th person to say this but you're really adorable. I'd tap it, bump it and even bang it. :3

Hey Swaim, Blue98StarWars found out about this, here is his reply: Like why should I care a stupid low life idiot put my video in his stupid thing. I should do something about copyright but its just a video :P, If I were to do something I would of done something about Sara East and her video about me :P

10/21/2008 08:52:00 PM

RustyCrowe

Two words, Swaim: Fuck me.

10/16/2008 07:40:00 PM

Ajatashatru

Enjoyed this alot, good stuff. I thought it was a good parody of Hate By Numbers.. snazzy neon bar in the background and everything!

10/15/2008 11:32:00 PM

TMan

OMG how can I have Swaim's bebbes and Gladstone's bebbes ?

10/15/2008 10:07:00 PM

thalliadruid

HBN is funnier, but Swaim gives the Phillies the best chance to beat the AL in the World Series. This video reminded me how much I loved Home Improvement. Remember that one episode where Tim acts all cocky and macho, breaks some stuff on his show, pisses off his wife by being a typical guy, then learns a valuable lesson from Wilson that helps him make up with Jill? ABC must have rerun that episode about 200 times!

10/15/2008 09:14:00 PM

tcbg

well the backslash thing... it's like Swaim is reading from the perspective of it printing in front of him, so it IS a forward slash. to him. Dicks.

10/15/2008 08:25:00 PM

Kelli

Actually this video was not bad :) just made me thank I was never a Home Improvement-Tim Allen-that Dead guy fan ^_^

10/15/2008 03:18:00 PM

Suprah

Those are forward slashes, fool!

10/15/2008 06:35:00 AM

I'm neither Yay or Nay1 But I will say I'm a Hate by Numers Fan by heart! (preapares listen to yeah blah blah you blah suck blahh blaaaaaaaaaaaah etc)

NOelvisNO!!

Y'know, you don't HAVE to compare us. There isn't like a law or anything. And if you join our live bloggin' tonight you get us both (plus two other dudes too unsightly for video appearances.)

10/15/2008 04:42:00 AM

G-Stone

Very funny. Best Cracked video since.... since.... very funny.

10/15/2008 04:00:00 AM

Arnor

Swaim, you look like a Romulan. Also, excellent video. And I normally hate Cracked so BRAVO

10/15/2008 02:42:00 AM

Acosmist

I think you mean 8 minutes too short. Swaim you are a genius, and I hope to see far more videos in the future.

10/15/2008 12:45:00 AM

BrundleFly

Wow, a Swaim video. It's like seeing a unicorn, except with less poaching. Although a little something within me died at seeing the face of Tim Allen again, I was most entertained. More, please!

10/15/2008 12:42:00 AM

Dierdre

This was at least 8 minutes too long.

10/14/2008 11:46:00 PM

funny video, dude

Michael Swaim is the man. My dream is that he one day responds to my comment to make me feel special. One day. One day. One day.

10/14/2008 09:58:00 PM

dylancholy

also, brainsurgery: Lex always wore a beret, so you couldn't tell, but his hair is all fused into one piece by years of oiling it with duck fat and washing only on full blue moons.

10/14/2008 09:55:00 PM

MichaelSwaim

Shows how much YOU know. I was sitting fifteen feet away, then zoomed in digitally. The sound was actually awesome. Something must be wrong with your speakers. Numbers 4-1 were tributes to star jones, ron howard, two and a half men, and you (respectively).

10/14/2008 09:54:00 PM

MichaelSwaim

The lens probably didn't help, but you were too close to the camera. The sound could've been better. And once I got to the #5 and realized it actually was going to be all Home Improvement, I stopped watching. If you're going to be boring, at least don't be long and boring. I can sit through 3 minutes of boring and be satisfied with one good quip. But not 8 minutes.

10/14/2008 09:44:00 PM

Tree

moonyos, a sketch comedy show starring the Cracked bloggers (and Lex Friedman, because he is Cracked's sexiest correspondant) would be awesome.

10/14/2008 09:10:00 PM

Wallsy

Not bad, Swaim. Also, those people who commented on the wrong slashes, pretty sure it was because he was supposedly seeing them from the other side. If you imagine the URL was actually appearing in the air in front of him, it makes sense. (Then again, maybe Swaim just doesn't know which one is which)

10/14/2008 09:08:00 PM

Wallsy

Swaim, you are brilliant.

10/14/2008 08:51:00 PM

a_penis

good effort, i guess, but just painstakingly long. like really long. it wasn't funny enough to be that long. and HBN is eternally better and im not biased. and

10/14/2008 08:45:00 PM

direwookiee

swaim please either wash your hair, or dry your hair after you wash it, because your hair looks either really oily or really wet.

10/14/2008 08:45:00 PM

Brainsurgery

I think they need to drop this swaim/nerd robot thing, otherwise it was frigging hilarious.

10/14/2008 08:40:00 PM

Spindle_

its pretty cool to see a michael swaim video. i onno if theres others. hes really funny. well all the other writers are too, but they just dont have videos ( shame. SHAAAAME!)

10/14/2008 08:33:00 PM

gotbass7

great job swaim. better than any other cracked vids. mmmmm jill taylo(r) with a cigar

10/14/2008 08:33:00 PM

superhombre

Holy crap I hate Home Improvement, but that rap at the end was AWESOME!

10/14/2008 07:29:00 PM

AdamSaleh416

I liked this a little better than Hate By Numbers. But wait, if Cracked was a cheap knockoff of Mad, then shouldn't Cracked TV be a cheaper knockoff of Mad TV? You know, a sketch comedy show starring the Cracked Bloggers.

10/14/2008 07:04:00 PM

moonyos

I liked this video a lot personally, better than hate by numbers... just by a bit, but not as good as the news on cracked I'd say.

10/14/2008 06:42:00 PM

Storander

where can i get "clean" pictures of the Cracked Official Store Girl with Nature's Loser shirt (or without)?

10/14/2008 06:25:00 PM

wasnr

Well...it's neither A Week In Douchebaggery nor Hate By numbers. But it was good if you're not grading on the curve.

10/14/2008 06:09:00 PM

Wren

Wasn't that ALL home improvement?

10/14/2008 05:42:00 PM

tentman52

this was not nearly as funny as Hate by the Numbers is on a bad day.

10/14/2008 05:38:00 PM

Firecrotch

love it when cracked vids put the nail in the coffin perfectly. its so funny how this is all so true.

Why is Swaim living in the TARDIS?

10/14/2008 05:13:00 PM

Pyrratus

I used to work at a place where a woman brought her retarded son to work during the summer. He'd sit at the computer and watch "Home Improvement" all day. True story. I don't work there anymore.

10/14/2008 05:12:00 PM

stansimpson

that was great. better than gladstone. is this gonna be a regular thing? is it ALREADY a regular thing? dear god, ive missed so much! my life can no longer go on! clippy was hilarious.

10/14/2008 05:04:00 PM

ChicoStarr48

It's a sad day when I would rather have been working than cruising cracked.com...

10/14/2008 04:45:00 PM

Picking on "Home Improvement" is kind of like picking on a retarded kid. Its only amusing for a couple of seconds.

10/14/2008 04:30:00 PM

"Glendoor, actually, a mildly fisheye lens." Yeah, kept telling yourself that. That's probably good for another four or five years of denial. I think balding is beautiful, on me anyway.

10/14/2008 02:24:00 PM

glendoor42

Yyyyyeah ok...but I feel 'hmm' about Home Improvement now rather than 'meh'. Acheivement. Gotta say the start and the end were the best. The middle was...well, too much Tim Allen I'm afraid. The man's a beast. And not in the hot, sexy animal way. Sigh.

10/14/2008 02:20:00 PM

Gladstone > Swain... Sorry, I just... I really want my 8 minutes and 23 seconds back...

10/14/2008 02:19:00 PM

tundragrove

LONG LIVE S.W.A.I.M.! Or should that be S.W.A.I.M!? Whatever. Michael Swaim is the true inheritor of Lex, this should replace HBN immediately! Next week's topic; 8 most unnecessary HBN's ever.

10/14/2008 02:08:00 PM

EamonQuinn

This was good, keep it up.

10/14/2008 02:03:00 PM

TonyNevada

Gladstone rocks. Fairly funny but this week "Hate by Numbers" was much better. Prolly cause it was all about home improvement. You could look a bit harder for better and more comical vids.

10/14/2008 01:47:00 PM

articdragone

Well, good luck getting me off. I'm an ugly motherfucker. Deal with it. And yes, alphaville people, it IS alphaville!

10/14/2008 01:43:00 PM

MichaelSwaim

While quite amusing, Swaim, you dont belong on camera. What a beast. Gladstone's a sexy bastard. I demand Gladstone/Swaim videos.

10/14/2008 01:23:00 PM

DraconianKing

That was hilarious! Keep this up. You're better than Gladstone.

10/14/2008 12:52:00 PM

You dont look as good on camera as gladstone.

So that cat really didn't own Home Improvement?

10/14/2008 12:27:00 PM

mr_plow

though the censored debbie dunning pics irritate me more than the home improvement theme

10/14/2008 12:27:00 PM

scallywag

now wait a minute...I think it`s unfair to make fun of "homages to crap" when that`s the primary role of Cracked it`s what makes the world turn round and gives us a reason to be up at 7:30AM for something either than work

10/14/2008 12:20:00 PM

scallywag

that was awesome!!! Im not usually a fan of cracked videos, but this rocked.

Swaim, I love you. When did CrackedTV stop sucking?

10/14/2008 11:37:00 AM

Glendoor, actually, a mildly fisheye lens. Hoping to upgrade for ep. 2.

10/14/2008 11:33:00 AM

SWAIM is the man. So much better than goldberg, and even better than lex was. Keep up the good work swaim.

10/14/2008 10:52:00 AM

Hey Swaim are you losing your hair or do you just have a big forehead?

10/14/2008 10:51:00 AM

People that unironicaly make tribute videos and mashups on youtube are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to humanity. And not even the bottom of the apple barrel. The bottom of the manure barrel.
