Ah, yes, him. The guy who tried to give "inspiring life advice" and just came off like he couldn't get over anything at all. Like, we get it, your dad was a drunk, you were a drunk, and now you write articles for Cracked. Sympathy only goes so far.

The funniest article post-sjw was one where the writer was "tired" of bashing friends, family, and Trump after the election. It read like a newgrounds edgelord piece.

It was actually shittier than that. His articles weren't just about his past alcoholism and poverty but specifically about how being an ex alcoholic made him better than you.

The only thing I'll be sad about once Cracked finally shuts down is I won't be able to read classic Seanbaby and Brockway articles or watch Swaim's old videos. Brockway's "Choose Your Own Drug Fueled Misadventures" were comedy gold every time.

It's on youtube. I personally like Swaim's videos from when "those arent muskets" were still a comedy group.

Those were good times. I still miss Robert Brockway though, did that guy die or just quit writing entirely?

He is a writer, his most recent book was released earlier this year.

I need to learn to Google better. I'll give that a look thank you! The last thing of his I read was on his personal site where he was looking for his perfect motorcycle.

I just remember what made me drop Cracked entirely.
I dropped the articles completely about 6 months after GG exploded, but I kept watching the video content with the app. What pissed me off was super autistic but whatever. It was the Harry Potter skits, it wasn't the quality of them, just that I disagree with Muggle Wanking and Wizards-R-Dum nonsense. So I sperged out and never came back.

He also had daddy issues that rivaled Stephenie Meyer’s.

Now that he's been let go, will he become a drunk again? The only reason he worked at Cracked was because he was Wongs butt buddy.

Possible. Or maybe he'll realize that whining about being from a family of drunks doesn't make for good comedy, just pity (
).

I can't wait for his next article, "5 Reasons Why My Regression Into Sheer, Liver-Withering Alcoholism Is Actually Your Fault."
And by "article" I mean having it shouted in my face on a street corner by Cheese while I wait for the police to arrive.

I think it was making fun of trannies or something. You'd have to troll the chans or pastebin to find it. I lost it two labtops ago. IIRC, it was one of the last articles he did before largely leaving the site.

I'm not gonna lie, I am sad to hear that it's come to this. Cracked really was funny and informative a few years ago. Back in high school, I would check Cracked every morning and read the new article (or articles). I really did enjoy the site back then, but as Cracked changed for the worst (around the time I graduated and started college), I visited less and less until I stopped browsing the site entirely. I'll still look back on the old Cracked with fondness, but unfortunately it's been gone for a long time.
It's a "quality vs quantity" problem. Cracked used to prize quality over quantity, but now it's the opposite.
Yeah, I feel like people are overblowing the whole "those darn ess jay double-yous" thing. While the increasingly liberal bent Cracked took certainly sped up its decline, I also feel like the site just became way too oversaturated in general. When I was reading Cracked regularly 4-5 years ago, there was usually only one or two articles posted a day, along with a couple of videos/blog posts that didn't get anywhere close to the traffic that the main articles got. Now, it seems like Cracked pumps out 10 things a day, and the main page is cluttered with content people aren't that interested in reading or watching.

I stopped going to the website long ago but I kept watching the youtube vidoes for a while after. Then they posted this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edZvPUwMpp0
It's just a person soapboxing. Their wasn't even a pretense of it being comedy. If you're going to rant about a subject you should at least couch in it a few jokes so it feels like it's meant to be comedy. Maybe they did in the second half of the video but I wouldn't know because I didn't bother watching it all the way through. I haven't bothered with them since.

Was it John Cheese or Wong that had the cigarette problem?

Screw them.
I remember how right after the start of the second Obama term they were taking every opportunity to explain how Bush was still destroying the country. Every problem in society was blamed on a guy who had been out of power for 4 years. It got old quick, and showed exactly how biased they were. I gave up on them around that time because of it.
