Actually only Peter Pan was immortal in Neverland. The rest of the boys just stayed there until they started to go through puberty and then Peter 'thinned them out'. There are also numerous occasions where Peter murders people without showing the slightest bit of emotion and when Wendy and the kids are first flying to Neverland there's this cute little scene where Michael (the baby) keeps falling asleep and dropping from the sky. Peter keeps waiting until the last minute to catch him so he can show off and Wendy worries that eventually he'll get bored of the game and just let Michael die.
Peter Pan was a phsycopath.
+Cheeseanonioncrisps Aren't many children little psychopaths? :P
+TheYasmineFlower You're not wrong. Children only fully develop the ability to empathise around the age of 6 -7.
i don't exactly have any siblings to example the little Michael to, so for some reason i really like the version of Peter Pan you just talked about.
I'm 13 in case you're wondering.
+PureNightfall I read somewhere that kids don't develop the ability to empathize until their ten. Though Peter Pan might be an exception because he lived on Neverland, he lost his memories over time. It was one of the reasons Wendy and her brothers wanted to go back home at the end of the book/movie, because they were forgetting things like the color of their mom's eyes or that they had parents. Peter Pan wouldn't have been able to empathize to some degree because he couldn't learn from past experiences. I can empathize with someone who's lost their grandparents because I've lost one of my grandparents and know what that feels like. I also can put myself in another's perspective and imagine what the loss of someone is like from similar experiences. Peter Pan can't because he doesn't have those memories and hasn't been taught to consider another's point of view. That's what she meant by psychopath.
+Crystalized Ink Well, you didn't read that little "factoid" in any scientific text. Children develop the ability to empathize at different rates and ages, depending on their development and upbringing. In some it's delayed due to being abused or neglected (and some abuse victims have _more_ empathy because of what they've been through).
Children raised in loving, functional homes start to develop empathy as toddlers, most will show the beginnings of empathy by age 2 or 3. They might say "owie" if another child gets hurt or try to put a bandage on it. I've never known a 3-year-old who would stomp on a puppy's face once they understand it would hurt the puppy. Most children don't even need to be told not to, they already understand that having your face stepped on hurts, so they don't do it to others. That's empathy.
If it was simply about getting in trouble, they would try to do it anytime they thought someone wasn't looking. Toddlers especially think they can always get away with stuff, but they still aren't stomping on puppies when they think no one can see.
Also, by age 10 almost all children can empathize regardless of whether they've gone through something themselves, and taking away some of your childhood memories doesn't take away your ability to experience empathy.
No one brought up that Peter Pan killed the lost boys when they got too old? The Pirates are Lost Boys that escaped Pan's slaughter.
Jesus fucking Christ.........what an asshole
I didn't read the book but damn does that connect the dots
So just to be clear, Peter Pan legitimately doesn't age?
Peter Schmidt
Apparently not, though i'm not sure there's a reason for it
Yes, but the lost boys do. Pan is the only magical entity other than tinkerbell
"SHUT UP! This isn't about you!"
Best line of the episode
Your profile pic: I used to LOVE that book!
Omg! You read the Vladimir Tod series?
I dunno
"You know nothing about me" is pretty good
KATintheBLACK I love your Vlad Todd profile pic
said 2ce... perfect both times
The thing is about every Disney movie. The original stories behind them are fucking gruesome and not at all for kids.
Still love them :p
What about alladin
Or frozen
Frozen was based off the short story the ice queen by Hans Christian Anderson. Within the first few pages a little boy has glass shards in his eyes and he abandons his best friend because how she looked was morphed. Great message there. "Don't be friends with ugly people"
Cinderella: Doesn't the actual story have the stepsisters cutting off their toes to fit in the shoe? And when the prince finds out they tried to fool him, he has them beheaded?
Little Mermaid: I recall the siren falling for the prince, getting a NICE seawitch to help her become human, but the prince is never attracted to her and falls sincerely in love with a different woman, so the little siren is left to die but the nice seawitch turns her into stars or something.... I should read that one again.
Rapunzel: The witch gets Rapunzel because her mother has a craving for radishes and her dad keeps stealing the radishes from the old woman's yard until he's caught and promises to give the baby to the old lady. Can't remember why she's kept in a tower though...
What others do you guys remember? Pinocchio was pretty close to the real thing... Lion King was a rip of Kimba the White Lion... I don't think Bambi was a book first... Hmm... What happens in the real Sleeping Beauty or Snow White?
I wonder if Disney will ever remake Rumpelstiltskin. He was in Shrek, sure, but I'm sure he deserves his own story that's happy and sweet and not at all as twisted as the real thing. Or Disney Hansel and Gretel (who aren't witch hunters). Hmm.
kfetter16 I think that the real sleeping beauty is pretty spot on to the movie but there was an Ann Rice book where she was raped awake. And Hansel and Gretel is pretty much just a dont trust strangers who wanna give you candy thing and in this day and age of brain chip GPS tracking people dont really need to worry about that.
Except Peter Pan was the one who never aged. According to the books, the immortality non-aging factor only applied to Peter. Everyone else aged. The Lost Boys would stay with Peter until they grew up. Then the books hints that they were either killed or became pirates.
Diamond Diaz whoa.. that totally changes how i look at peter pan
The kids that escaped being killed became pirates because I mean if a dude tried to kill you, you would try to stop him from doing it again to you or someone else. I can't recall if the pirates came as adults cause if Hook was the first kid he ever brought to Neverland that story would be soooo messed up.
Should be the top comment
After spending an entire class learning the history of pirate literature and taking a dive into Barrie's past with a professor that was paid to study it, I can safely say that Barrie was not actually a pedo. After his brother's death, Barrie was mentally scarred by his mother's methods to the point where he had the mentality of a childhood throughout his adulthood. Although he got married, it was more to uphold European expectations at the time. The Davies family wasn't just some random family he met, the kids' aunt was a relatively famous author that Barrie got along with.
Barrie's entire career is built on his relationship with the Davies family and how he was raised in his brother's shadow. He never did anything with them because he was too immature and kind to do anything; the character of Peter Pan was named after the youngest child and he literally invented the name Wendy for that novel. He's basically an English-writing Gamera: a friend to all children, minus the chest laser and rocket shell.
Eh, that still leaves a 50 50. Either he was asexual and you're right or that was a lie and while being mentally immature his body did still mature and gave him urges he would have taken out on the children he saw himself as equal to.
Personally I think the kids speaking up for him leans me more towards him not being a pedo but no one can know for sure.
Peter Pan (PP) also killed the Lost Boys once they grew up and the pirates were the kids that survived him?!?
Stories like this one and Alice and Wonderland's true roots would make an epic Percy Jackson-esque book series, where kids read about the true characters in myths and crap through their pants because of it.
***** i think it's the actual story...
+Jonny Lupus whats also creepy is when pp comes to visit old wnedy at the end of the story, she asks him about tinkerbell who had already died and pp was like: who are you talking about?
+Jonny Lupus Go watch Cartoon Conspiracy, one of their latest episodes debunks that.
magentamorbid666 is that the one on channel frederator?
Yes.
"How dumb am I?"
*uncontainable excitement around the table*
"Okay! Okay! How are we gonna do this?" I was on the floor laughing :'D
Off topic, but I will always love the small moments between Soren and Dan. Like how in this episode Soren pats dan on the back when he's sad that he didn't know about the pedophile thing, or like no matter who Dan impersonates soren will always love it.
My favorite moment like that is when they do the James Bond one "You've sat on that Lazenby this entire time?!" and Dan shrugs and smiles.
in the previous video on the chronological list, alt universe/sick soren didn't like dan's impression.
According to a quote from Nico Davies, the youngest of the Davies kids, "I don't believe that Uncle Jim ever experienced what one might call 'a stirring in the undergrowth' for anyone-man, woman, or child. He was an innocent-which is why he could write Peter Pan." Which says that he's asexual, not a pedophile.
but he was the youngest. if you asked the oldest I would have believed you. this was in the time when you were allowed to marry 12 year old girls so its possible the kid thought there was nothing wrong.
``How dumb am I?"
"So how do we do this? do we just like each take turns forever?"
Peter Pan represents J.M. Barrie's older brother, who died young, and was romanticized as a perfect angel by his mother. Captain Hook is J.M. Barrie who had to live in the shadow of his brother, and could never measure up to his brother's legend.
I also think that since Barrie had a "love" of hanging around young boys, and never consummated his marriage, that he might have been molested by his older brother, and it caused intimacy issues.
As for Peter, and Hook, I think Hook is the baby Peter saw when he looked through the window when he went to visit his parents. And that like Barrie, had to live in the shadow of the image of a perfect lost angel, that he could never live up to.
And that when he heard of Peter Pan, and Neverland, Hook went to Neverland to exact revenge against his brother Peter.
It's a story of sibling rivalry.
In addition to that Pan is a greek semi god who raped women in the woods so the sexual harassment thing it is maybe true for the older brother. Maybe he vies his brother like a charming psycopath guy who has the force to seduce this children and maybe has mixed feelings.
Opinion just like everything else sometimes shit doesn’t have hiddden meanings it’s just shit
Did they NOT just give the real story
Thank you, as a molestation survivor I for the first time gonna say all four of these fools are wrong. And I love these guys. But come on yo. You wanna tackle this topic? Why don’t they tackle serial murder or baby fuckers next. Shit.
Amazing take on it
Neverland, I've heard, was supposed to be Australia. The Indians were the Aborigines, and the pirates represented the criminals that England used to send there. Not sure who the mermaids represent.
Sexy Australian women?
+The One and Only Michael McCormick who like to try to drown competition 😂
Sailors are rather famous for mistaking manatees and seaweed for mermaids, historically speaking...
Given the fact that mermaids were jealous mischevious creatures who would kill Wendy given the chance, it's fairly obvious.
I'm Australian
I like how they're eating breakfast but it's dark outside :D
+sophie belzberg Breakfast All Day = Best Timeline! ^_^
+sophiesnoopy it could be 4 am
Kevin McGinty Could be. Also I think its hilarious that you posted to a comment that was from last year.
I had nothing better to do
Blueberry much?
Ok the story I was told about Peter Pan was a magical that played a flute and hypnotized children taking them to Never Land. I can't remember if he killed the children as they got older because he didn't want them to grow up or if he was stealing their youth. Some of the children however escaped but never found their way home, so they band together becoming pirates for protection. One child fought Peter Pan while trying to escape losing his hand in the battle. Of course this child grew up to be Captain Hook.
small point on the peter/ nickname for penis thing, as far as i can find that wasn't used at the time and really isn't used in Britain at all- even with the slow creep of American culture over the decades.
So, Katie was basically the only one bringing arguments, that Daniel could all negate with a quick google search. But he didn't counter. I guess nobody gets a point.
Daniel: 17
Soren: 10
Katie: 10
Michael: 15
1:15 that Elliot Page line "you know nothing about me" got a whole new level of meta now
Once again Cracked skimped on the research.
The character Peter Pan is not named after a penis and the mythological god, he's named after one of the Davies children and the fact that he plays the Pan Flute. In addition the name Wendy was created by Mr. Barrie for this book and it was, once again, inspired by one of the Davies children. The youngest child use to call him "friendy" but had trouble saying the "r" so it came out "Fwendy".
Also Neverland isn't an actual location. It is made very clear in the beginning of the book that Neverland is a magical place were dreams take place and is constantly changing.
The Davies children made the comment about Mr. Barrie not being attracted to children because the conversation was about whether or not he was attracted to children and was totally fair in that context.
The 'Peter' part is pretty obviously a joke not meant to be taken seriously.
As for 'Pan', you're aware than the Pan flute/pipes are _named_ after Pan, right? And given that Peter plays with faeries and rides goats, unless you actually have a source for that it seems like a needless stretch anyway.
Lastly, it wasn't one of the Davies children who called him 'fwiendy'. That was Margaret Henley, a different child he knew.
Peter Pan is also definitely some form of crazy: when you go to never land you use your sense of time and soon forget your old life very quickly and exceptionally quickly for Peter. He has an odd obsession with Wendy's family ideas for the lost boys but can't decide if he wants to be the father or one of the children. In the end, Tink has been long since dead and Peter has COMPLETELY forgotten her as he abducts Wendy's daughter and then even her daughter, who creepily enough is named after Barrie's mother
Thank you for an episode more, i love After Hours :D
Whoah... FINALLY a person that doesn't say "FIRST!"
MrNegaBlox FIRST!
Gizmos Monster
FIRST! to reply to your comment
darude - sandstorm
"second Star to the right..."
*death star rotating nonchalantly in background*
god I laughed way too hard at that.
The original book mentions that there weren't any actual directions to Neverland, because Neverland lived in the imaginations of children.
Peter Pan made up those directions to impress Wendy.
I think I heard once that the directions were actually nonsense in the sense that you would go in circles or something following them, considering the way stars move accross the night sky and you were following it till morning, I thought the directions were there to highlight how Neverland was kind of an imaginary place.
1:54 that line crack me up every time
Okay, I have no idea, what the point was ... The part the I understood was that Peter Pan has pedophila refrance ... So ? I mean Alice in wonderland is worse. At the beggining of the book, we get know that Alice's got a split persona, has a thing going for spanking herself, she delusional and propobly schizophrenic.
My point in this comment is :
When we're kids, we don't know and we don't care about that kinnda stuff, the fairy tale is entertaining and cool, so why not enjoy it ?
when we grow up, we tend to give everything a darker and greetier tone although it may not be true.
I don't see the point of looking for a hidden door in stuff like that, for F*** sake it's just a fairy tale written a hell lota time ago.
Admittedly, the older versions of some those folk tales and fairy tales could be pretty dark. In Cinderella the step sister's chop off parts of their feet in order to fit into the glass slippers and have their eyes pecked out. Even then I think at times these guys try a little too hard to read into obscure details sometimes.
thats exactly what Cracked does though
DrunkenCokeHead421 Yes, but sometimes they really read too much into the details and probably should have just let it be from the start. Not saying they can't bring up interesting points, but I digress.
Brandon Tabor
Reading too much into things is what they do. It's what makes this series fun to watch.
Yeah I agree, Fuck Cracked!
I think Katey doesn't like peter pan because it was one of the movies the others used on her birthday to remind her that no one really cares about her. That being said peter pan is a story that is trying to encourage a life without material possession. Pan was not only a god of sexual debauchery but of freedom and nature. Peter lives underneath a tree, is friends with a tribe of people who are more entuned with their surroundings and his enemies are pirates, a group of people obsessed with possessions.
Somewon Yuno Pirates=Cops? What the fuck are you smoking? Nooooooo, basically don't give too shits about sex because all women want is for you to care only about them and will be jealous try to kill any other women around you (Tinker Bell, the mermaids, even Wendy when it came to Tiger-Lilly). Peter Pan is their material possession so he just ignores them. That and most of them smell like fish below the waist.
Not really surprissing that you think Tink is hot. She was modeled after Marilyn Monroe. But then again even a baby carrot seems huge when you try to fit it in a keyhole :D
I'm sorry the correct thing to have said was "King Kong aint got shit on me!" but thanks for playing.
I liked for the Katie part XD so glad some remember that!
I like this explanation better.
love this episode and the fact they refrenced animorphs, classic
the racism in that movie wasn't mild to moderate. horrible at best.
At the 2003 version and Syfy’s Neverland did a good portrayal of Tiger Lily and her tribe in a less offensive way.
I have no fear of aging. I'm pretty sure I'm going to drink and smoke myself to death beforehand.
HAHAHA love the inside llewyn Davis reference there!!!
Actually, a lot of people bring up Peter's name but, if he's the boy who would never grow up why would he engage in "Adult activities"? First, Pan is a greek god associated with fertility not so much the act of sex. Back then it was a pretty distinct difference, over the years it kind of all fell in the grey area. But Pan is also a god of the wild, he's boastful and all about having fun and living in nature. Hence why a boy living in nature and always having fun might associate with the name.
Peter is a 20th century slang term for penis originating in 1902 as best we can tell. The little white bird (first appearance of Peter Pan) was published the same year. It's a little close to call a direct relationship to. If they are related it really is more of a chicken/egg thing. But one thing we know for sure, Peter was a prominent name for literary characters who are magic or are leader characters in some way. Not to mention it's popularity at the time in real life. People start making connections wherever they can to prove the wildest theories all the time. We could definitively set the record straight right now, then in 50 years someone else would just make the same argument, jumping to the same conclusions. It's the sad fact about assumptive arguing.
Okay, I'm dumb. Someone explain the end to me when they all get excited about explaining something to Michael.
They have been waiting a long time to tell him just how stupid he is and have replies all thought up they've been dying to use to tell him.
After Hours is the only reason I subscribed to Cracked.
I love how Disney just went "Story about immortal boy who whisks kids away to an island then kills them, because of puberty? Nobody likes puberty and growing up, let's make this! Wait, let's just remove the serial killer bit. That might be a good plan."
No offense, but they took that Wikipedia line out of context. Right after that, they said this (note, this is slightly abridged for sake of space and relevance) :
*"...However, there is no evidence that Barrie had sexual contact with children, nor that he was suspected of it at the time. Nico, the youngest of the brothers, flatly denied as an adult that Barrie ever behaved inappropriately. 'I don't believe that Uncle Jim ever experienced what one might call 'a stirring in the undergrowth' for anyone -'...His relationships with the surviving Davies boys continued well beyond their childhood and adolescence."*
And if the kid was asked if Barrie had sexual relations with them (kids), of course he would use child in his example with "man, woman, and child". I sometimes enjoy Cracked, but not when they grasp at straws like this.
Dan brings up that exact point later.
Also, this is a comedy sketch on the internet. Not meant to be a definitive biography.
@@sorayaalcyone2726 @Soraya Alcyone yeah it's a comedy sketch but they were calling J.M. Barrie a pedophile. Comedy is comedy but calling someone a pedophile when they weren't just isn't funny. It's downright offensive.
This is my favorite episode because Katie did most of the talking. :)
So, essentially, Daniel made the rest of the video worthless at the end.
Correct?
If Neverland is a place on Earth, it would explain why in Kingdom Hearts the keyhole of Neverland is on the Big Ben tower in London.
Peter Pan can not possibly be "propaganda for perverts", because there is nothing in it for perverts in particular and it doesn't go to show anywhere it's okay to be a pervert or having some sort of "agenda".
Also, you say "in the book" all the time, which confuses me... Peter Pan was originally a play, not a book. The books of it were written after the play.
I was quite sure that, though named Peter, PP was drawn from inspiration from all the boys and the reason hed never grow up was due to the fact that George was killed in the trenches in ww1 at 21 but the last he had seen of George he was younger and so would never grow up in his mind.
this video made me very angry until the end. Literally everyone surrounding Barrie including the children he was rumored having relations with denied the claims. Also "peter pan" isn't named after the kids name for a penis. I'll give you the pan part. but Peter was named after Peter Davies, one of the kids that you were talking about.
Also Barrie's Mother didn't make him dress up like his brother, Barrie dressed up like him to try and comfort him. Tragic but not as manipulative as you try and make it sound
Its all in the finding neverland movie.
"Stay a kid forever" like the exact opposite of the movies actual message
Pan is a satyr, the Greek god of all satyrs. He's also the god of nature. Also... what they said.
I remember being being shocked when I read the book and found out about the fairy orgies. And now my childhood has died a little more.
So, J.M. Barrie was basically the Micheal Jackson of his day? We don't know what his deal was exactly. But, what ever it was it made some people uncomfortable. And, we ultimately chose to ignore it (or give him a pass on even explaining it). Because, he put out media we all enjoyed.
guys we love what youre doing, if we could only get more of these... maybe bimonthly or so
or at least monthly .-. you guys are awesome!
I always love after hours. It's feels like I'm actually there listening.
I still come back 10 years later and feel like I'm sitting with old friends. Miss this group
Afterhours is the main reason i'm suscribed to Creacked! Thanks Guys!
In the last argument, I thought they were going to mention the place is called "Neverland", as in, "the land where you do what you'd NEVER be allowed anywhere else", or "the land that (everything you're thinking) NEVER happened". That would be a strong argument supporting the child molestation hipothesis...
eh, that's kinda a stretch, though. hell, it's not meant to be a 'real' place anyway, so something more along the lines of 'a land that never was' would probably be more accurate.
Still one of the best series on RUclips. Keep it up guys.
thanks for actually calling asexauls pedofiles because if someone doesn't want sex they /must/ be a pervert- as an asexual myself it was much appreciated
They didn't say asexuals are paedophiles, but that they maybe pretend to be sometimes.
you say that like its a socially accepted thing to be asexual. like we arent harassed and always told were lying or that we're mistaken- like even now that would be a viable ruse for a pedophile to hide be hide - you're being ridiculous- and him having asexual tendencies like not being attracted to anyone was their only piece of evidence , and the other one was pulled from fucking wikipedia and cited from there so no -
But people do lie. That's a fact. They're not saying all asexuals lie. They're saying pedophiles lie they're asexual as not to arouse suspicion.
Lia Harlin People do lie, but they use Asexuals, a very oppressed sexuality, to do so. That gives asexuals a bad rap, and it's not fair. And well...life isn't fair unfortunately. But I think I can explain: we all know not all asexuals are pedophiles, but asexuals would be offended by that statement in the video because they are already prejudiced against on a daily basis for not wanting sex in the first place. They get harassed and told they're wrong and that it's 'just a phase'. Having their sexuality 'joked on' (for lack of a better term) like that is a little degrading and once again shows how they can be dismissed, and it's sad...
Not saying you're wrong! People do lie, I just wanted to expand a little~
Maity B. Then why are we moaning about the video, rather than the pedophiles for giving asexuals a bad rep? Wasn't the video pointing out this misunderstanding?
I look forward to these a little too much. They're just so good.
the Peter Pan universe is dark, but...pedophilia, really? That's a little too much digging deep for me. I knew Barrie loved kids, but I always thought it was more like fascination and admiration than straight pedophilia. I assumed it'd be platonic way.
Well the root words of pedophilia don't necessarily specify sex. Pedo means children, as it does in the word pediatrician. Philia just means love, and doesn't exclusively mean sexual love.
The power to manipulate metal like Magneto is a great power imo. You can move most things, if you have enough mastery you can fly, you'd never have to worry about getting mugged if the criminal had a weapon and so many other advantages exist with the power to control metal
It's my fault. I saw the title and i watched it anyways...

What about a topic talking about how the 3D tinker bell movie is actually a story about a caste system that dictates your place in society and the movie is about how tinker bell is slowly indoctrinated by the society around her into believing she's only good for what they want her to be good for. Limiting her to only one life choice and forcing her to work as a specific laborer--and by the end she's okay with it.
When they make the food do they eat it or throw it away after the video is done?
Has anyone else noticed that they're all eating breakfast food, and it's night time? Some kind of metaphor for the day never growing up?
No, No, Stop, Stop bringing MJ in to this.
Phrasing.
people are ignorant and love to repeat the lies of the media, but MJ deserves respect!
+Zaccheus4 We don't know and may never know. Either way he is dead and death is the wages of sin so after death a person is no longer guilty so we should be respectful. Also God will eecide whether to resurrect him or not because only he can read hearts. Even if Michael did commit those wrongs, and we all do sinñ he may have regretted it and repented and stopped. It's up to God to decide not us, thank God.
In the book Peter's directions are "Second to the right and straight on 'til morning." Everybody else basically shrugs because those directions are nonsense. It's the narrator's first clue to the audience that Peter doesn't really think about where he goes or what he does and simply follows his childish impulses. That trait drives a lot of action, including the murder and mayhem referenced in other comments. Barrie's life has been twisted up in a lot of speculation and myth which makes it very difficult to effectively tie an interpretation of the novel and subsequent media to events in his life. My capstone thesis centered on the development of academic criticism children's literature so I have a lot of feelings about it. Which is why I'm wasting my energy typing a response to a 3 year old video. You do you, Cracked.

At 1:36, when Soren pats Daniel on the back, Dan does this thing where he turns his head and starts tapping his hand on the table, like he picked up the tempo of the patting on a purely reflexive level. I guess that's nervousness for you. Daniel's fun to study.
Wow. Okay. 3 minutes in, childhood officially ruined. At least that corner of it is.
Yeah, at the beginning I thought "Ha, your basing your argument from Wikipedia, your screwed." But then she started gaining momentum and then I thought, "Oh No! Please stop talking."
Even if it's false I will never watch those movies the same way again.
I think I've heard something about that before, a movie or anime or something. A little kid who's twin died (I think it's implied he allowed him to jump off a wall, my memory's weird) and from that point his mother forced him to act like his twin, dresser him like his twin, and even called him his name. And he's struggling with his identity
On quite another note (from the current 1-year old comment)... They're eating breakfast and it's just as dark outside as usual. What is this, 4AM in the morning? Do these guys just sit in this diner all day talking about this shit? Of course they do... in my own imagination.
Some people eat breakfast for dinner. That was one of my favourite dinners when I was younger (I guess it still is, I just prefer hashbrowns over pancakes on such occasions now).
Ah, Cracked.com... terrorizing fond childhood memories one Afterhours at a time. How I adore thee.
Cracked! Ruining your childhood one video at a time!
Is there ANYTHING left in this world that has no perversions attached to it? Surely there's a decent Disney classic unscathed. Oh yeah! The Rescuers Downunder! Comfort me in my time of need, O quirky mice! *a few minutes into the movie* Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was that a porno in one of the apartments that the albatross flew by? DAMMIT DISNEY!
I NEED MORE AFTER HOURS!!!!!
Always have said disney is evil lol
I just discovered this channel today and have spent the last 3 hours binge watching these After Hours episodes. They are really well written and funny!
I want to see them challenge Lady and the Tramp.
Ok ok ok...let me see.
Jim Dear and Darling feed Lady coffee, which dogs shouldn't eat
Jock and Trusty must be castrated, otherwise there is no way they would be free to play with Lady unsupervised.
Jim Dear is a sexist in his expectations for the baby.
Tramp acts like his life is so much better than living in a dog house and eating leftover baby food. You woke up in a train yard barrel.
Aunt Sarah leaves her cats Si and Am alone with Lady, without first training the three of them to get along.
Joe and Tony are contributing to the problem of feral dogs by feeding Tramp and encouraging him to reproduce.
Lady judges Tramp for having a sexual history before her, yet dogs are not monogamous on their own volition. Dogs are only monogamous when breeders control their mates.
Also, several of the Davies boys killed themselves when they got older. Were they troubled by something maybe? J.M. Barrie is rumored to have "accidentally" inscribed Jimmy (himself) instead of Jenny, the boys aunt.
Lol I actually did a report on Peter Pan's origin story for my Literature class about half a year ago. Here's some quotes. :)
'Peter and Wendy by J.M. Barrie has more adult themes than you’d guess. Peter brings Wendy to Neverland to act as a mother to the Lost Boys. With time, Wendy starts to fall in love with Peter and asks him how he feels for her. He describes himself as her faithful son.'
Me: "Friend zoned."
Barrie's original draft depicts Pan as a villain, kidnapping children from their beds; Captain Hook was only added later, as a theatrical device to distract the audience while stagehands changed the scenery. "To die would be an awfully big adventure," says Peter Pan in one of the novel's most famous lines. Unlike in the Disney adaptation, in the original Peter kicks Hook over the side of the boat and he is eaten by the crocodile, and Peter Pan would “thin the lost boys out” when there were too many of them or when they got too old. "As soon as he got inside his tree he breathed intentionally quick short breaths at the rate of about five to a second. He did this because there is a saying in the Neverland that, every time you breathe, a grown-up dies; and Peter was killing them off vindictively as fast as possible."
Quote from the author in regards to one of his adopted children; "I lay thinking of this little boy, who, in the midst of his play
while I undressed him, had suddenly buried his head on my knees... Of David's dripping little form in the bath, and how I essayed to catch him as he slipped from my arms like a trout. Of how I had stood at the open door listening to his sweet breathing, had stood so long I forgot his name."
I wonder how freaked out Soren would be seeing Shyamalan’s movie Old.
love how Daniel debunked the whole thing with one quick Google search at the end😂
What did we do to deserve such a treat from Cracked?
Why are they eating breakfast foods if it is "After Hours".
They're in a diner and in diners they serve breakfast thru Dinner all day
JustGunnaBe Me I dont think most diners do that.
Logan D. There's certainly no law against it.
Sometimes you just have to break the rules of society.
Eat breakfast food for dinner.
Abduct and rape children.
Not use a salad fork.
Dance in the rain.
Other great liberties.
I can't get enough of these after hour convos I want more!!!
This video was really incoherent
I want a never ending supply of AfterHours... Love This Show!!!.... ya'll Are Great!!!
The only Lost Boys I am cool with are those Vampires in Santa Cruz
+darkservantofheaven The only gang that can have mullets and still be intimidating.
Wolfboi3 thanks....need to watch the movie again...been years
I love Katie's hair color. Opens and brightens her face. Don't change it.
Congrats...you ruined another of my favorite disney film. Is any film sacred?
Last I checked we were on the internet...So No.
Ive got a book of all the original fairytales like the fat sisters cutting off their toes to fit there foot in a shoe and getting their eyeballs plucked out, and the big bad wolf getting cut open to save granny and little red riding hood
Kieran Reynolds What is it called? I would love to know.
JK1011x
My favorite in the series is the Big Book of Grimm, it has 100 different stories put into comic.
Kieran Reynolds Thanks, I'll have a look
the nautical navigation thing blew my mind a little
why is everyone eating breakfast at night?
Al Katraz Why aren't you?
Al Katraz Have you never gone out to eat after a night at the bar ?
Al Katraz My friends and I use to have a tradition where we would make breakfast around midnight almost every time we stayed over at each others houses.
After Hours is my favorite Cracked show that you guys do!!
Pan was the god of nature.
Sure but in medieval times they copied his look and used it for the devil
AgentWashingtub pan was the Greek god of alot of things. Including deviant sexuality. He once tried to rape Omphale but she was sleeping in Herakles's clothes and Herakles was in hers so Pan mixed them up and attempted to rape the hero instead. Herakles was, understandably, pissed about it and bashed the god over the head with his club. Ever since that Pan has gone pantless (or naked) so he won't confuse people about his sex.
Nice to see these are still being made.
Sorry guys, asexuals aren't obsessed with the innocence of children and babies, nor write about cuddling up to a naked baby that isn't yours. He was either a pedophile or something that we lack proper terminology for that is both pedophilic and asexual at the same time.
Maxben L He was a lunatic. There you go.
You can be asexual and unhealthily obsessed with children whether romantically or otherwise. The fact that pedophiles express that obsession sexually is one thing of course.As I said, we obviously lack the terminology for his mental illness. Plus, many asexuals themselves are very complex, it does not start at end no sexual attraction of any kind whatsoever
Maxben L Abstinent.
Didn't two of the kids that J.M. Barrie adopted kill themselves? I think I read that somewhere but I don't remember many details. I know that one of them was named Peter, and that was who Peter Pan was named after. He threw himself in front of a train, and the other one (I don't remember his name) drowned himself.
Yet again the Cracked team are applying modern standards to the past. Specifically the age of consent and what was acceptable to do with children.
The kids that he wrote about didn't meet the age of consist back then either. They were all under 10 or 11.
Wermhats Wormhat The strange species are known as Otakus. Unlike the myth that says they don't mate at all with other Otakus or non-otakus. All of them in fact hold some sort of sexual perversion brought from the japanese culture they so hardly adore. Most usually is zoophilia, although minor traces of pedophilia may arise. Most won't even reach them consciously, but it is within them.
What the fuck, you are sick
Wermhats Wormhat I agree my brother, but my deep studies of the species prohibits me from looking away.
Rosa01010101 Who exactly is sick, Rosa?
Nice :)
After hours always make me laugh as well as a little education at the same time :)
You missed some of the best parts,like how Peter kills the lost boys when they grow up.
Either that, or Peter Pan is a positive personification of the Grim Reaper, and Neverland is a kind of "Heaven" for children who die.
The lost boys never grow up, because they are already dead, and are forever remembered as children.
This would make sense as JM Barrie lost a brother as a child, and his mother forever remembered his brother as a child, and wanted him to be like his brother. His mother denied the inevitable fact that JM Barrie would grow up.
Most Fairy Tale stories were creepy, but still made for kids. Mother Goose tales are creepy as hell, but they were all stories mother would tell to their children.
These stories started to change when the Grimm brothers decided to write a book with fairy tales in America, but their editors, probably, thought the stories were too creepy for kids, and made the Grimm brothers make versions that were more appropriate.
But think about it, have you ever read or watched Coraline? Adults think that is too scary for kids, but kids LOVE that story (I actually think the book is even scarier than the movie), Neil Gaiman started to write Coraline with one of his daughters, and ended writing it with another daughter, while they were still little girls. That "scary" world was made with the ideas of two little girls.
MAKE THESE LONGER AND MAKE THESE MORE OFTEN!!! MORE AFTER HOURS!!!!
I love these after hours vids.
Regarding names, I heard Peter = one who makes PANS and Tinker = one who makes BELLS....
But I guess that wouldn't fit into this sketch
yeah, that doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. its not like peter refers to some blacksmith specializing in kitchenware, or tinkers making stuff in general.
i think that's just some bullshit someone thought up and shared.
You guys need to make more After Hour videos!! I loove 'em
the bit about how he forged the kids' parents' will to get custody was important...
Michael so set himself up at the end. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
I love this video for the Animorphs joke.
Lost Boys is a Victorian euphemism for male children who died before four years of age. Because of the the high infant mortality rate and children mortality rate many families would not even name them as to not “waste” the name on a dead son until they were older.
That's so sad omg 😥
