The best villain to be a henchman for incorporates everything they just said. Hank Scorpio of the Globex Corporation from The Simpsons. An amazing dental plan, a home in beautiful Cypress Creek, retirement and stock options, a boss that cares about you and your family. A hammock in your office. Not to mention... The bad guy wins and buys you a football team. Also, because you're in the Simpsons universe, you probably aren't going to die a terrible death.
floooooooooooooooood Hank Scorpio is an hybrid, a composite creation that is not to be mention as an archetype.You can't mention the Simpson too often because it can come up in SO many subject.
I'm Suprised nobody considered who would be attacking in where they would like to hench. Based on that alone I would hench for Lex Corp. I mean of all possible henchmen you have a fairly high life expectancy because the main person who would successfully breach your defenses (Superman) Actively goes out of his way to make sure not to have anyone die. Add to that that realistically worst case scenario you are arrested, what are the charges being a private contractor for a publicly traded company? As a henchmen you have enough plausible deniability that the legal defense provided by your employers when you work for such a large corporation should have no trouble arguing you into a slap on the wrist plea deal.
+Erik Lemke Pretty much. Every Umbrella Corp facility, even if it's just an office building they're renting out, eventually ends up being overrun by unspeakable, hellish nightmares. If you're not forcefully made a part of some mad scientist's horrifying genetic experiment, you're butchered by giant lizards when containment for all of the nasties in the basement inevitably fails. Lex Corp is absolutely the way to go. I mean, it's not even like you'd be expected to do any heavy-duty henching. In fact, you'll probably just be expected to keep working as you normally would at any other company while Lex and some carefully selected villains do all of the dangerous criminal activity. Although there is one downside. By working at Lex Corp, there may not be a chance of being hurt by Superman, but remember that you'd be working in Metropolis, the city that is constantly plagued by beings powerful enough to blow apart the moon with a cough. One day you're just hanging around the water cooler talking with your buddy Bob when suddenly Doomsday punches Superman through the building, destroying the supports and bringing the whole thing down on your head faster than you can blink. Remember Man of Steel? You could be working in one of *those* buildings.
I totally agree. I think that it is the best option and when the hero shows up and you stand there looking like a weekling what do you do other than point at the bosses office door? You'll live everytime.
+Eric Henderson depends wich Lex Corp we are talking about,because I would defineatly not feel safe working for Snyderverse LexCorp,Injustice LexCorp,The Dark Knight Returns Lex Corp or even Lex Corp in the Tim Burton universe
I don't recall there being a lexcorp in the Dark Knight or the Tim Burton Batman movie, so despite those being dark realities their is no indication that the Superman of that world is any less opposed to killing especially non super-powered humans.

LexCorp seems like a totally legitimate business because it IS a totally legitimate business. The Henching is all done by some dark secret division within the company.

(I don't want to be a stormtrooper, though, just a mid-level management type, keeping things organized)
and people actually APPRECIATE the empire. they are practially BELOVED. Hell, in approximately a 16-17 year span, they COMPLETELY ABOLISHED SLAVERY in the Imperial controlled sectors. (not counting rimworlds) Hell, Luke WANTED TO JOIN THEM. the only reason they're the bad guys is because they're lead by Vader/Palpatine for a long time.
i'd prefer to work for the sith empire (from way before the movies) promotions are based on qualifications as opposed to who you know, and there's the possibility of getting force-use training.
I would work in LexCorp. Those henchmen don't die very often, so you could advance, but Lex Luthor isn't dumb enough to promote someone to a job they can't do. Also, I hear there is always cake in the breakroom, because Lex steal it himself.
also, depending on the version of superman, most versions don't kill and actively work to reduce collateral damage. so lex's arch is actively looking out for your safetly and is only after luthor.
Yeah, I would have to agree. Most DC heroes, not just Superman, don't kill anyone. Ever. So, you're safe on that regard. Also, Luthor seems to have a pretty solid chain of command and, apparently, an amazing profit margin, as he has unlimited funds and his company never goes under, no matter how many times his plots are revealed or he goes to prison. Also, I bet the options for variability in your work should be endless, from IT to construction to chemical engineering to robotics.
The Creeper Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why would an industrialist like Luthor fire someone for doing their job too well? A superb analyst isn't a threat to him. They're an asset.
0:43 As a scientist I can confirm that yes, there are enough out of work scientists to operate a doomsday weapon quite effectively. I would also like to take this opportunity to assure that no matter how desperate for work I get I will not be filing an application to work for Dr. Evil
Uh-huh... You can say that all you want. I know you and your lying science witchcraft! Building doomsday devices, weather machines and such... Daaamn you!
no, but TOP MEN, would work on things like CERN and other major multinational doomsday weapons so long as its government sponsered, see nuclear weapons as the best example of super weapons and scientests (henchmen) just doing their job.
I think they got henchmen confused with minions. Henchmen get the sweet deals and choice assignments where as minions get the crappiest, dirtiest, most dangerous assignments that *most assuredly* leads to death.
Actually in the marvel universe the grunts are known as henchmen. I remember reading one Spider-Man comic where one of the grunts asks Spider-Man not to tell his parlor officer he's been henching again
Who would I be a henchman for? I say go big, real big. I'd be one of Galactus's henchmen which he calls Heralds. Not only do you get godlike power and immortality, the only thing you gotta do for the Big G is find a planet for him to munch on every now and then, AND if you are feeling done with the whole thing the severance package is pretty sweet too, Silver surfer still got all his powers after all. Galactus is best boss.
yeah but you would spend the bulk of your time roaming the galaxy looking for planets to eat and then waiting for him to eat them then you hafta spend all of that time and more finding another planet...your basically like the hostess and waitress at ihop working one really long shift with no pay or tips ....plus Silver Surfer has cosmic powers and wasnt allowed to leave earth ...thats like retiring in Detroit without any way to leave when you're home is the Bahamas
If I had to pick I'd join V.I.L.E. Carmen Sandiego's henchmen. You get to go to exotic times and places. You get to see the world. You get to play with all sorts of crazy toys like daggers, dynamite and gods knows what else. They are mostly overlooked in favor of the higher ranking members, and there is no guarantee you will ever be found by the heroes! If they don't know Geography, History, etc they will just fail at their job anyway!
Plus the fact that Carmen actually *cares* about the people who work for her, so no chance of your boss throwing you out of a window or using you to test whatever bioweapon the lab cooked up that week if you screw up. Worst she'll do if you screw up is let you sit in jail for a few weeks before bailing you out, or in the 1990s cartoon, when she not only risked getting herself captured to save two of her henchmen who were trying to pull off a side-gig without her ok, she planned a series of jobs to set them up to get it right on a retry.
Henchmen who live on volcanic tropical isles aren’t just defending their lairs. They are defending their sweet way of life! Watch the whole damn episode right here! #itsavideomfers #AfterHours
You guys should really pour more into After Hours, maybe get it going once a week rather than once a month. It's the perfect blend of high-production snarky and cynical pop culture internet criticism in an accessible casual-feeling format with a likeable and colorful cast of characters. Add a touch more topicality and you might have a viral series on your hands.
Well you know besides the slavery and constant moving, its a great job. Personal i would prefere working for umbrella, you get loads of money, you get mess around with B.O.W.s and if you get cornered you either don't get killed because your too important or inject yourself with a virus/ parasite and kick their arse... Or you know have your arse kicked, it was a good run whilst it lasted.
Cracked Forgive me, After Hour guys, but you missed an incredibly obvious point about the henching process. And I apologize for chatting about this, but YOU STARTED THIS.... And you're referring to what I call the "Suicidal Henchman Work Ethic." Not *only* do you have to worry about Super Heroes coming and jacking up your place of business.... There's always the off chance that your own boss(The Supervillain) might arbitrarily decide to kill you. So not only do you have to worry about Governments, Female Ninjas, Secret Agents, Rambo, Robotic Police Officers and various alphabet Men showing up to punch in your bosses(Boss's? Boss'?) number and by extension your own. No, no, you *also* have to worry that one day your boss might just decide that our numbers were down this month. And it was your fault. It might even ACTUALLY be your fault, but that's not important. Or maybe you forgot a tiny, relatively unimportant detail. Or you were a messenger and your CEO was just having a rotten day. Or he might be completely insane and chaotically whimsical. Why *ANYONE* would work for the Joker is a total mystery to me. Anyway, the long story short is that Your Evil Boss is almost certainly a greater threat to you than most other things you're likely to face. Unless the movie was about two Supervillains facing each other and were thoroughly callous about throwing away their minions lives... And *remind me again*.... Why doesn't that movie exist?
I like Michael's nihilistic view of things. Like the apocalypse episode where he wants an asteroid that will destroy earth. Dude's realized that we all eventually die, just gotta enjoy what time we have left
I cannot begin to describe how happy it made me when for that one cutaway at 4:50-ish you depicted The Monarch's henchmen from "The Venture Bros." I one day hope that it'll be a rule that all discussions of the glorious job of henching must make a VB reference.
The best super-vilains/boss depicted in a fiction was Hank Scorpio from ''You only move twice'' of 8th season of The Simpson.episode 2. He combines the location sweetness of Cypress Creek, with mid-nineties pro-activeness and possitive reinforcement technics. I would die for a boss that goes out of his ways to make me feel special and appreciated.
LOL! That Monarch henchman was The New Guy, Alex Schmidt. I don't know why that cracked me up so much. I love these and all the little details you guys hide in them.
I choose Katy's opinion. What's that? You went back and realized Katy never made her own decision. Yeah, you're right. You're pretty smart. Here's a cookie.
I was wondering if other people were going to notice. Also found it weird that they used a lot of minion clips but never talked about them. Maybe they realized later they forgot to talk about them?
sjshoker well... they did say "If you, AS YOU ARE, would..." And none of them are tiny and/or yellow... So... Not suitable for being minions (*those* minions) :D
By far the best one would be Globex Corporation from Simpson Universe. Hank Scorpio as a boss is super nice to his henchman and their family, and pays great.
I'm not sure Wonka is an evil mastermind, therefore, the Oompa Loompa's aren't henchman. However, if Wonka does count, I'd TOTALLY work for him. I love showing up snotty kids. *lol*
Heather Tindall I think he IS an evil mastermind. He came up with a number of various "Traps" for each of those kids. Not too mention figuring out a way to insure the correct children/adults got the golden tickets. Wonka > Dr. Evil
6:14 Swaim says "So you die, fast, that's the cold hard truth of being a henchman." And its immediately followed by the Austin Powers clip of Mustafa (Will Ferrell) being dropped to his "death." But he doesn't die "fast" or at all in that movie. After surviving the "incineration," someone shoots him, and he still doesn't die. He even appears in the second one and is still alive at the end of the movie, though its off screen, he can be heard screaming.
Dan’s right, LexCorp would be best of those options. If your going to be a henchman, be one for a boss who faces opponents that won’t kill you. I think I’d go with Kingpin though; it’s pretty similar, but Lex dabbles in some major schemes that involve parties who may destroy all humans or some crap like that, while Kingpin just sticks to simple crime for profit.
Yeah, but while Spider-Man or Daredevil(maybe?) wouldn't kill if you worked for Kingpin, Kingpin himself would kill you if you fucked up big enough. (Early "Ultimate Spider-Man" anybody?) OH, and let's not forget the multiple times The Punisher has tried to take Kingpin down! Sure, they were severely infrequent and usually stopped by another supe before it got TOO ugly, but I wouldn't want to be the low thug on the totem pole doing patrol for the boss, only to get sniped in the head or my throat sliced by essentially a zealot wielding way too much firepower for one man to wield. Punisher's scary yo! He's beaten up superheros and villains that by all rights he has no business thoroughly embarrassing like he's wont to do. So, if I had to choose, I'd go with Luthor over Fisk...
ReyDePanty There’s characters like Punisher in each universe though and both bosses would have you killed if you messed up. Anyway, similar risks, similar rewards, and similar work either way.
darthcarnage12 Yes, but when you specifically compare Lex Luthor to Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk, your life expectancy is significantly higher when working under Luthor was the point I was making, as it was relevant to you bringing the subject up. :)
Between the two I would chose Lex because DC heroes with few exceptions tend not to kill. Where as a Kingpin henchmen just going to work the day the Punisher shows up would suck.
There's been several readable emails from Umbrella staffers that totally seem like they could have been written by DOB. Mainly, the ones gushing about how awesome it is that they get to make cool monsters all day.
He has no henchmen, and if he does he only hires them for musical numbers. Unless you're talking about the alternate dimension Doofenshmirtz then *everyone* is a henchman/slave, and you have to share the same name.
the downside I'm seeing is it's not real employment. You're on commission for dance routines, even then you'd have to be an attractive girl.(notice all his dancers are women usually)
After hours is one of my favorite shows on the RUclips the only thing that bums me out is I never get notifications letting me know when the new ones out, oh well I still look for it every week! Plz keep them coming
I'd join MAD from Inspector Gadget. No matter how many failed schemes they have, they never seem short on resources for their next big scheme, their evil schemes are just so batshit crazy you can't help but admire the sheer insanity of it, their recruitment video is hilarious and stylish, and their arch nemesis is a cyborg and his niece.
Did anyone else notice the random dude in the background outside of the dinner running across the screen at 2:51 to 2:54? I think I've noticed other background people doing stuff like that in other After Hours videos.
What about the Minions from Despicable Me? They're wacky, they're fun, they have ice cream parties, they have a boss who knows them all by name even though they look nearly identical, they get cool uniforms, they get to use awesome weapons and test scientific breakthroughs, they get cool vehicles, and best of all, they never meet the gruesome ends that most henchman seem destined for. I would totally want in on that gig.
+Calvin Maynard It really is a sweet gig. Except it doesn't pay. When the evil mastermind finally comes up with a plan to do something, everyone has to pitch in their savings to make it happen.
I'd work for AIM. Think about it you get to work on creating awesome inventions, most of your enemies don't like killing people out of a misguided sense of morality and unlike most evil villains in the Marvel Universe AIM doesn't believe in brainwashing their workers. Plus there's the extremis virus which they have which you can use to give yourself super powers. You get job security, a chance to work at awesome places, possible super powers and worst case scenario you convince Phil Coulson you're just a scientist being forced to work for AIM and get off scott free with the type of knowledge that'd have almost every tech company in the world head hunting you for a highly paid job.
I thought the worst case scenario was getting killed by an abomination of science you helped create while screaming, "NO!! Get back! I CREATED YOU!!" That, or getting killed in one of those turf wars AIM and HYDRA seem to have every so often.
Trey Harris I wouldn't mind paying for dental if my bosses gave me the kind of tech to work with that you normally only see in B-Movie science fiction.
Timewarpiaman I am am assuming you are just misguidedly referring to the MCU only. If we talk about the actual comics not the adaptations, then a.) Extremis wasn't created by them. b.) They are literally BASED on mind control. Heck, one of their main guys is called The Controller. They try mind control in so many different ways, via internet, abduction, you name it, they've done it.
No one mentioned Gru? Rewatch the first Despicable Me. Gru is a great boss. He knows everyone's name and cares about their personal lives. He profit shares, takes care of their personal needs. All his minions clearly like him.
no but occupational hazard. but you got to agree its a really nice job. the boss knows your name and has a laugh with you and the others. and it looks like you get a share or the loot when you steal things so your rich the only down side is that there seems to be way to little security there i mean his entire work force was kid napped before anyone noticed or cared.
I can't believe there isn't one cracked RUclips video I haven't thumbs up and I keep coming back because I love these guys! Thank God for some more news And cannot compute
Well, it fully depends on certain things. For instant, if you're an alien, you'd have to be the greatest tactical genius like Thrawn if you even want to be accepted. Do you wish to continue this?
that's implying that you would work for the army or navy there are lots of none military jobs in the empire. you know like scientists, ship builders, diplomats, spy's. basically every job you can think of. so even if you are an alien there is still lots of jobs open to you just know high ranking ones.
Also, as horrible as it sounds, we aren't aliens...so we'll be fine I guess XD Personally I rather work for xenophobic assholes than rot someplace like Tatooine, so it just depends how desperate for a job I am and to get off whatever shithole planet I'm stuck on. If I'm well off in a nice place however I probably wouldn't go for it.
It'd be an honor to be killed by Samson. He wouldn't notice that he killed you, but who gives a fat shit. It's Samson. It's like getting killed by a bear/ninja/tiger hybrid who's been taught to bowie knife. No one would blame you for getting killed.
The montage of the henchmen getting kills what TV show/film is the soldiers being run over by a tank from? It starts at 6:21. Is that Band of Brothers?
I’m sure it was mentioned before, but I appreciate the reference to venture brothers because that the monarch butterfly was my go to for henching. Job well done to the person who threw that obscure reference 🦊
Who would I hench for? Easy. The Monarch. Dude only arches a washup and the only rule if you're captured is "don't tattle on the Monarch". Pay is probably not great but the Cocoon is a dope ass living space. Also 21 would be basically your HR manager. He lives to hench and he wants you to too.
It's pronounced "Raysh" not "Razz" in regard to Ra's al Ghul. And if you want to get *really* technical, the proper Arabic pronunciation is "Rass". But bottom line, it isn't pronounced "Razz" al Ghul. The Nolan movies just kept mispronouncing it.
Omar Guillen It is as if every actor is saying it their own way without any direction or confirmation from the behind-camera crew... like, you know, the director. But, at the same time, it could well be intentional, that only those actively following him would correctly pronounce the Arabic name... even if it is intentional, though, it's still stupid. They already established that Diggle and Merlyn both speak Arabic, they would clearly know how to pronounce the name.
Depends on the company doesn't it? Example, Hank Scorpio (Simpsons) would probably give you great benefits, while Luthor (Superman) most likely wouldn't really care if you died or not.
At the same time while Lex does not care about his people he does care about his public image, and does want there to be a perception that he is the good guy while the alien is bad. So Lex corp likely has very good insurance.
Yeah, but Scorpio would still be the best choice. Why? Because he actually won! Yep, if you work with Scorpio, you are now part of the organisation that completely rules over the East Coast. (Or West Coast, can't remember).
I'd work for Lex Luther or Geese Howard. Sure, you're trying to take over the world, but you'll have wicked benefits and you'll learn a few usefull skills along the way like throwing energy waves with your hands and quantum physics.
at least with Lex Corp your major adversary has a "no kill" policy.......but then again he is also strong enough to destroy a galaxy with a sneeze soooo, you wont be killed by him but if you advance high enough prison becomes a big problem.
"What was the cause of death?" "Well apparently Lex Luthor got into a big mech suit and threw superman through a building and, in the process, took out a few major support beams and the entire building collapsed on itself. This man was just busy looking up the whereabouts of various villains for Luthor when half a building was basically dropped on his head." "no kill" policies don't cover collateral damage.
I'd like to hear some after hours thoughts on makeover movies. You've addressed the problems with training montages multiple times in the past, so we can skip that. I'm looking for something more like, as a genre, what do makeover movies teach us? Why do we like them? What does that say about culture? What artistic, cultural, entertainment value do these movies provide? Are there differences between movies where men are made over vs women?
Idk why, but here I am again, rewatching all After Hours.

I would work in LexCorp. Those henchmen don't die very often, so you could advance, but Lex Luthor isn't dumb enough to promote someone to a job they can't do. Also, I hear there is always cake in the breakroom, because Lex steal it himself.
also, depending on the version of superman, most versions don't kill and actively work to reduce collateral damage. so lex's arch is actively looking out for your safetly and is only after luthor.
Yeah, I would have to agree. Most DC heroes, not just Superman, don't kill anyone. Ever. So, you're safe on that regard. Also, Luthor seems to have a pretty solid chain of command and, apparently, an amazing profit margin, as he has unlimited funds and his company never goes under, no matter how many times his plots are revealed or he goes to prison. Also, I bet the options for variability in your work should be endless, from IT to construction to chemical engineering to robotics.
The Creeper Why?
The Creeper Well, you don't have to be smarter than your boss to be good at your job...
The Creeper Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why would an industrialist like Luthor fire someone for doing their job too well? A superb analyst isn't a threat to him. They're an asset.
these four are more likable than most of hollywood.
William Jacob Mast Especially now.
I would love to see a sitcom starring them.
All of Hollywood
And they’re not even pedophiles either!
0:43 As a scientist I can confirm that yes, there are enough out of work scientists to operate a doomsday weapon quite effectively. I would also like to take this opportunity to assure that no matter how desperate for work I get I will not be filing an application to work for Dr. Evil
Uh-huh... You can say that all you want. I know you and your lying science witchcraft! Building doomsday devices, weather machines and such... Daaamn you!
no, but TOP MEN, would work on things like CERN and other major multinational doomsday weapons so long as its government sponsered, see nuclear weapons as the best example of super weapons and scientests (henchmen) just doing their job.
Not even for a billion dollars
Edwin Bronson how is cern a doomsday device? And try to use reason, i am a scientist myself.
The Creeper did you just say nazi engineers were shity. Really?
I think they got henchmen confused with minions.
Henchmen get the sweet deals and choice assignments where as minions get the crappiest, dirtiest, most dangerous assignments that *most assuredly* leads to death.
So the difference is being a employee of a company with all its legal points or a private contractor that doesn't get any of that shit
@@MilloSpiegel Pretty much!
Actually in the marvel universe the grunts are known as henchmen. I remember reading one Spider-Man comic where one of the grunts asks Spider-Man not to tell his parlor officer he's been henching again
Henchmen might be a little above minions, but not by much. Henchmen are still pretty dispensable. @@misterprickly
Who would I be a henchman for? I say go big, real big. I'd be one of Galactus's henchmen which he calls Heralds. Not only do you get godlike power and immortality, the only thing you gotta do for the Big G is find a planet for him to munch on every now and then, AND if you are feeling done with the whole thing the severance package is pretty sweet too, Silver surfer still got all his powers after all. Galactus is best boss.
isn't Galactus working for Franklin Richards right now?
Well deadpool didn't get to keep the surf board.
yeah but you would spend the bulk of your time roaming the galaxy looking for planets to eat and then waiting for him to eat them then you hafta spend all of that time and more finding another planet...your basically like the hostess and waitress at ihop working one really long shift with no pay or tips
....plus Silver Surfer has cosmic powers and wasnt allowed to leave earth ...thats like retiring in Detroit without any way to leave when you're home is the Bahamas
Safa Ashkan That had more to do with Deadpool annoying the fuck out of Galactus, as far as I know the rest of the heralds still have their powers.
BillsOnFire or show him that you're a great pain in the ass like deadpool did .
If I had to pick I'd join V.I.L.E. Carmen Sandiego's henchmen. You get to go to exotic times and places. You get to see the world. You get to play with all sorts of crazy toys like daggers, dynamite and gods knows what else. They are mostly overlooked in favor of the higher ranking members, and there is no guarantee you will ever be found by the heroes! If they don't know Geography, History, etc they will just fail at their job anyway!
Melody Paige plus they're always breaking back out of prison after every few cases!!
Daggers count as crazy toys?
Yessssss!
Plus the fact that Carmen actually *cares* about the people who work for her, so no chance of your boss throwing you out of a window or using you to test whatever bioweapon the lab cooked up that week if you screw up.
Worst she'll do if you screw up is let you sit in jail for a few weeks before bailing you out, or in the 1990s cartoon, when she not only risked getting herself captured to save two of her henchmen who were trying to pull off a side-gig without her ok, she planned a series of jobs to set them up to get it right on a retry.
Henchmen who live on volcanic tropical isles aren’t just defending their lairs. They are defending their sweet way of life! Watch the whole damn episode right here! #itsavideomfers #AfterHours
You guys should really pour more into After Hours, maybe get it going once a week rather than once a month. It's the perfect blend of high-production snarky and cynical pop culture internet criticism in an accessible casual-feeling format with a likeable and colorful cast of characters. Add a touch more topicality and you might have a viral series on your hands.
ModernEphemera x2!
''Henching'' for a guy like Gallactus seems pretty sweet when you think about it!
Well you know besides the slavery and constant moving, its a great job. Personal i would prefere working for umbrella, you get loads of money, you get mess around with B.O.W.s and if you get cornered you either don't get killed because your too important or inject yourself with a virus/ parasite and kick their arse... Or you know have your arse kicked, it was a good run whilst it lasted.
Cracked Forgive me, After Hour guys, but you missed an incredibly obvious point about the henching process.
And I apologize for chatting about this, but YOU STARTED THIS.... And you're referring to what I call the "Suicidal Henchman Work Ethic."
Not *only* do you have to worry about Super Heroes coming and jacking up your place of business.... There's always the off chance that your own boss(The Supervillain) might arbitrarily decide to kill you.
So not only do you have to worry about Governments, Female Ninjas, Secret Agents, Rambo, Robotic Police Officers and various alphabet Men showing up to punch in your bosses(Boss's? Boss'?) number and by extension your own.
No, no, you *also* have to worry that one day your boss might just decide that our numbers were down this month.
And it was your fault. It might even ACTUALLY be your fault, but that's not important.
Or maybe you forgot a tiny, relatively unimportant detail.
Or you were a messenger and your CEO was just having a rotten day.
Or he might be completely insane and chaotically whimsical. Why *ANYONE* would work for the Joker is a total mystery to me.
Anyway, the long story short is that Your Evil Boss is almost certainly a greater threat to you than most other things you're likely to face.
Unless the movie was about two Supervillains facing each other and were thoroughly callous about throwing away their minions lives... And *remind me again*.... Why doesn't that movie exist?
i was planning on joining an evil organization but then i watched there video that said uber doesn't pay that well😆
Irish Jester or Amazon
You guys are better than EVERY episode of Friends. Wish this could be a full 30 minute show. Keep on rockin guys.
But they didn't. They didn't keep on rocking
I'm with Daniel. The beach is anything but relaxing.
I like Michael's nihilistic view of things. Like the apocalypse episode where he wants an asteroid that will destroy earth. Dude's realized that we all eventually die, just gotta enjoy what time we have left
Haha, loved the "More New Guy Weekly" goal on the yearly review form at 4:50!
"The greeeeeeeeeed kindling"
Aight, I'm calling money that now
I cannot begin to describe how happy it made me when for that one cutaway at 4:50-ish you depicted The Monarch's henchmen from "The Venture Bros." I one day hope that it'll be a rule that all discussions of the glorious job of henching must make a VB reference.
The best super-vilains/boss depicted in a fiction was Hank Scorpio from ''You only move twice'' of 8th season of The Simpson.episode 2. He combines the location sweetness of Cypress Creek, with mid-nineties pro-activeness and possitive reinforcement technics. I would die for a boss that goes out of his ways to make me feel special and appreciated.
LOL! That Monarch henchman was The New Guy, Alex Schmidt. I don't know why that cracked me up so much. I love these and all the little details you guys hide in them.
I choose Katy's opinion.
What's that? You went back and realized Katy never made her own decision.
Yeah, you're right. You're pretty smart. Here's a cookie.
Yay! I'm ser smert!
I was wondering if other people were going to notice. Also found it weird that they used a lot of minion clips but never talked about them. Maybe they realized later they forgot to talk about them?
sjshoker True, I was honestly waiting for Katy's opinion thinking maybe she would.
sjshoker well... they did say "If you, AS YOU ARE, would..." And none of them are tiny and/or yellow... So... Not suitable for being minions (*those* minions) :D
(::)
3:49 I love the hand gestures Daniel makes every time he gets his point across.
By far the best one would be Globex Corporation from Simpson Universe.
Hank Scorpio as a boss is super nice to his henchman and their family, and pays great.
Soren as an old testament angel... anyone else picture him as Balthazar from Supernatural at that point?
Michelle Evans Not English, but I was definitely thinking Supernatural.
Michelle Evans i was thinking of dogma
Thank you. I needed this in my life
I was thinking Loki
i just realized that the cafe they filmed in is literally 3 blocks from my house
2:15 Nailing that Bane impression.
Daniel was still kind of right. Heroes typically don't come after corporate henchmen unless they're fighters.
Point for Michael.
Daniel: 17
Soren: 13
Katie: 13
Michael: 17
Hey you're amazing all of us
Alright Dan, relax with the scores.
OMG you're worse than Daniel
I miss this show so damn munch
Cracked bring these guys back please! I miss them. I love this and all the other bits they did.
How did being a henchman for the Monarch not come up here? Or indeed being an Oompa Loompa.
being one of the monarchs henchmen would suck butterfly dick
Yeah dude Hank would rip you apart
I'm not sure Wonka is an evil mastermind, therefore, the Oompa Loompa's aren't henchman.
However, if Wonka does count, I'd TOTALLY work for him. I love showing up snotty kids. *lol*
1-Murders Children
2-Uses slave labour
Heather Tindall I think he IS an evil mastermind. He came up with a number of various "Traps" for each of those kids. Not too mention figuring out a way to insure the correct children/adults got the golden tickets. Wonka > Dr. Evil
6:14 Swaim says "So you die, fast, that's the cold hard truth of being a henchman." And its immediately followed by the Austin Powers clip of Mustafa (Will Ferrell) being dropped to his "death." But he doesn't die "fast" or at all in that movie. After surviving the "incineration," someone shoots him, and he still doesn't die. He even appears in the second one and is still alive at the end of the movie, though its off screen, he can be heard screaming.
3:03 "was it ever even about the henching for you, bruh?" _Swaim 2016_ ... also Moon Hoedown? I'm totally down
Dan’s right, LexCorp would be best of those options. If your going to be a henchman, be one for a boss who faces opponents that won’t kill you. I think I’d go with Kingpin though; it’s pretty similar, but Lex dabbles in some major schemes that involve parties who may destroy all humans or some crap like that, while Kingpin just sticks to simple crime for profit.
Yeah, but while Spider-Man or Daredevil(maybe?) wouldn't kill if you worked for Kingpin, Kingpin himself would kill you if you fucked up big enough. (Early "Ultimate Spider-Man" anybody?)
OH, and let's not forget the multiple times The Punisher has tried to take Kingpin down! Sure, they were severely infrequent and usually stopped by another supe before it got TOO ugly, but I wouldn't want to be the low thug on the totem pole doing patrol for the boss, only to get sniped in the head or my throat sliced by essentially a zealot wielding way too much firepower for one man to wield. Punisher's scary yo! He's beaten up superheros and villains that by all rights he has no business thoroughly embarrassing like he's wont to do.
So, if I had to choose, I'd go with Luthor over Fisk...
ReyDePanty There’s characters like Punisher in each universe though and both bosses would have you killed if you messed up. Anyway, similar risks, similar rewards, and similar work either way.
darthcarnage12 Yes, but when you specifically compare Lex Luthor to Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk, your life expectancy is significantly higher when working under Luthor was the point I was making, as it was relevant to you bringing the subject up. :)
Between the two I would chose Lex because DC heroes with few exceptions tend not to kill. Where as a Kingpin henchmen just going to work the day the Punisher shows up would suck.
Mark Soto Right?
Wait were they the henchmen from the venture bros ?
Yes, they made a visual of the fluttering horde
There's been several readable emails from Umbrella staffers that totally seem like they could have been written by DOB. Mainly, the ones gushing about how awesome it is that they get to make cool monsters all day.
What's up with that guy putting his hood on and running around outside? 2:50
Dafuq?! xDDDD
You didn't see anything.
He's totally going to notify his boss about the potential recruits eating pie at the diner!
It's the same guy Christian Bale yelled at.
I think you're right, fofalooza. He did, after all, look right at the gang then take off like he needed to share information.
I LOVE The Raz-ah-Gul ideas & thought process discussed !! "CHEERS, no fears"
Dr Doofenshmirtz. I win.
He has no henchmen, and if he does he only hires them for musical numbers. Unless you're talking about the alternate dimension Doofenshmirtz then *everyone* is a henchman/slave, and you have to share the same name.
myanimeworld149 But getting paid to do occasional musical numbers? Sounds like a sweet gig.
The only downside I can see is being thwarted by a platypus.
the downside I'm seeing is it's not real employment. You're on commission for dance routines, even then you'd have to be an attractive girl.(notice all his dancers are women usually)
Andrew Taulane Even that sounds like it would be fun.
Best episode i've seen in a while. Really fun to watch and think about later. Great job Cracked Guys!
hank scorpio from the Simpsons. hands down best evil boss. did u see that benefits plan homer got. sign me up
4:50 … sweet Venture Brothers reference ！！
I'd work for Magneto and fight for equality. I can't believe no one mentioned that.
There's working for equality, and then there's murdering literally thousands of innocent people. Not sure MLK would approve.
***** You don't "get" mutant powers. It's you as you are now.
***** Exactly. Or just blackmail you into being his puppet.
Maybe because he's a radical equalist who wants to eliminate humanity, hmm? So unless you hate humans, and a mutant, working for magneto would suck.
Well only if you have powers
Hey Soren! Are you, at 0:25, just sitting back thinking "I got everyone to eat pie" or is that the best acting ever?
"Stop embarrassing money!" Goddammit Soren, you made me choke on my coffee!
After hours is one of my favorite shows on the RUclips the only thing that bums me out is I never get notifications letting me know when the new ones out, oh well I still look for it every week! Plz keep them coming
I'd join MAD from Inspector Gadget. No matter how many failed schemes they have, they never seem short on resources for their next big scheme, their evil schemes are just so batshit crazy you can't help but admire the sheer insanity of it, their recruitment video is hilarious and stylish, and their arch nemesis is a cyborg and his niece.
Why have i NOT seen this before...I spent ALL of yesterday and all this morning watching "After Hours"...PLEASE do NOT stop making these...
Id work for Weyland-Yutani Corp
Cause you know
"Building better worlds" with aliens is awesome
And you think that bothers me?
Aliens man
Aliens
***** *laughs maniacally*
Dead or getting others dead
Did anyone else notice the random dude in the background outside of the dinner running across the screen at 2:51 to 2:54? I think I've noticed other background people doing stuff like that in other After Hours videos.
What about the Minions from Despicable Me? They're wacky, they're fun, they have ice cream parties, they have a boss who knows them all by name even though they look nearly identical, they get cool uniforms, they get to use awesome weapons and test scientific breakthroughs, they get cool vehicles, and best of all, they never meet the gruesome ends that most henchman seem destined for. I would totally want in on that gig.
+Calvin Maynard
Just try not to drink anything from a vial.
You will end up in outerspace alone.
+Tevo77777 lol ikr
+Calvin Maynard HHHHEEEYY BUDDDDYYYY! OTRO? Buddy?
*see someone fall over*
....HAHAHAHAHAHA!
+Calvin Maynard
It really is a sweet gig. Except it doesn't pay. When the evil mastermind finally comes up with a plan to do something, everyone has to pitch in their savings to make it happen.
+Jirka Kunst Crowdfunded evil organization?
I love the allusion to the fluttering horde around 4:50. Now I feel like a geek for knowing what that is
Anyone else notice that Katie didn't even choose a villain to hench for?
and no glasses.
I didn't notice that.... Touche....
Notice the random shifty guy outside? Proper s
Yes, disappointed.
Not that anyone at @Cracked cares BUT THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHANNEL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
Personally I'd want to work for Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated.
what is that film called where the guy gets crushed by the tank at 6:20 ? i saw it once ages ago and i really want to know what it is
I'd work for AIM. Think about it you get to work on creating awesome inventions, most of your enemies don't like killing people out of a misguided sense of morality and unlike most evil villains in the Marvel Universe AIM doesn't believe in brainwashing their workers. Plus there's the extremis virus which they have which you can use to give yourself super powers.
You get job security, a chance to work at awesome places, possible super powers and worst case scenario you convince Phil Coulson you're just a scientist being forced to work for AIM and get off scott free with the type of knowledge that'd have almost every tech company in the world head hunting you for a highly paid job.
I thought the worst case scenario was getting killed by an abomination of science you helped create while screaming, "NO!! Get back! I CREATED YOU!!"
That, or getting killed in one of those turf wars AIM and HYDRA seem to have every so often.
They do make you pay for your own dental, though.
Raziel312 Or you use the science that AIM has to redesign your DNA so your harder to kill, like the million dollar man but more human.
Trey Harris I wouldn't mind paying for dental if my bosses gave me the kind of tech to work with that you normally only see in B-Movie science fiction.
Timewarpiaman I am am assuming you are just misguidedly referring to the MCU only. If we talk about the actual comics not the adaptations, then
a.) Extremis wasn't created by them.
b.) They are literally BASED on mind control. Heck, one of their main guys is called The Controller. They try mind control in so many different ways, via internet, abduction, you name it, they've done it.
No one mentioned Gru? Rewatch the first Despicable Me. Gru is a great boss. He knows everyone's name and cares about their personal lives. He profit shares, takes care of their personal needs. All his minions clearly like him.
I feel a little miffed that no one wanted to work for Grue from despicable me.
Do YOU want to slowly float upwards into oblivion from a hatch someone forgot to close?
no but occupational hazard. but you got to agree its a really nice job. the boss knows your name and has a laugh with you and the others. and it looks like you get a share or the loot when you steal things so your rich the only down side is that there seems to be way to little security there i mean his entire work force was kid napped before anyone noticed or cared.
I can't believe there isn't one cracked RUclips video I haven't thumbs up and I keep coming back because I love these guys!
Thank God for some more news
And cannot compute
"I'd be like an Old Testament angel!" Nice.
I am so onboard for the 5 second Venture Bros. shout out at 4:50. Hench4Life
I'd wanna be a henchman for Marcellus Wallace, cause his henchmen are cool
LOVED DANIEL'S COMMENT ABOUT BEACHES... Who could you like sand? Haha you guys are brilliantly funny, my new favourite channel
Why not work for the Galactic Empire?
Well, it fully depends on certain things. For instant, if you're an alien, you'd have to be the greatest tactical genius like Thrawn if you even want to be accepted. Do you wish to continue this?
that's implying that you would work for the army or navy there are lots of none military jobs in the empire. you know like scientists, ship builders, diplomats, spy's. basically every job you can think of. so even if you are an alien there is still lots of jobs open to you just know high ranking ones.
Also, as horrible as it sounds, we aren't aliens...so we'll be fine I guess XD
Personally I rather work for xenophobic assholes than rot someplace like Tatooine, so it just depends how desperate for a job I am and to get off whatever shithole planet I'm stuck on. If I'm well off in a nice place however I probably wouldn't go for it.
it may sound a bit pathetic but you guys are like awesome friends I want to be a part of. watching your vids makes me truly happy. thanks guys.
I'd hate to be a henchman for The Monarch. All I'd have to look forward to is getting killed by Brock Samson.
Expect henchman 21
Until you get trained by 21 and have to deal with Sargent Hatred
It'd be an honor to be killed by Samson. He wouldn't notice that he killed you, but who gives a fat shit. It's Samson. It's like getting killed by a bear/ninja/tiger hybrid who's been taught to bowie knife. No one would blame you for getting killed.
Sardonicus You mean canon, right? Cause if I worked my way into a cannon I'd be afraid of it firing me.
Sardonicus Then you'd be the mad two ton 21
2:37 What I want to know is why the branding iron? What explosions? And what could possibly be excetera to that?
I feel you Dan. I'm allergic to pie too. It's a hard life...
I'm so glad these are back :)
Where would Katie hench, though?!
YES!!! Sweet Venture Bros reference at 4:51
Everyone has to get naked to pee... not fully naked... I do. We now have learned something new about Dan.
He's also allergic to pie, apparently.
The montage of the henchmen getting kills what TV show/film is the soldiers being run over by a tank from? It starts at 6:21. Is that Band of Brothers?
More After Hours!
Star Wars btw
I’m sure it was mentioned before, but I appreciate the reference to venture brothers because that the monarch butterfly was my go to for henching. Job well done to the person who threw that obscure reference 🦊
What about working with the minions and gru?
Who would I hench for? Easy. The Monarch. Dude only arches a washup and the only rule if you're captured is "don't tattle on the Monarch". Pay is probably not great but the Cocoon is a dope ass living space. Also 21 would be basically your HR manager. He lives to hench and he wants you to too.
Checklist "Make New guy Weekly"
Clever
Talk.about the Bechdel Testin movies! I can't believe you haven't done an episode on it yet.
Isn't it magma when its on the inside of the volcano, Daniel?
It's sort of a grey area as the volcano collapses.
love the 'monarch' reference.
I'd work at McDonalds... Wait
[TGR] Clockwork lol
Good Job, you didn't Troll for views. Proud you Cracked.
Why has nobody mentioned Hank Scorpio?
He's a parody
That's TV, they've keeping it to fiilms.
Just gotta say I love that Daniel lives at the beach now
But that's not pie, that's clearly cake.
Does anyone know where the tank scene at 6:21 is from?
It's pronounced "Raysh" not "Razz" in regard to Ra's al Ghul. And if you want to get *really* technical, the proper Arabic pronunciation is "Rass". But bottom line, it isn't pronounced "Razz" al Ghul. The Nolan movies just kept mispronouncing it.
Yeah, that bugged me too in the movies. However, since they were showing Nolan movie clips, it makes sense to use Nolan movie (mis)pronunciation.
You know that TV show Arrow? He's on it. Guess how they pronounce it.
Literal eyeroll.
Omar Guillen Funnily enough though, Nyssa and the rest of the League of Shadows pronounce his name correctly while everyone else doesn't.
Yeah, even Merlin who was a student for YEARS still can't get it right.
Omar Guillen It is as if every actor is saying it their own way without any direction or confirmation from the behind-camera crew... like, you know, the director. But, at the same time, it could well be intentional, that only those actively following him would correctly pronounce the Arabic name... even if it is intentional, though, it's still stupid. They already established that Diggle and Merlyn both speak Arabic, they would clearly know how to pronounce the name.
2:56 guy in the back walks out of the dinner turns toward said dinner the turns back throws up his hood and starts running, what the heck?
5:15 magma.... Yes, I'm being pedantic. No, I don't care.
4:49 "More New Guy Weekly" I love it.
Would being Henchmen drive up your insurance premiums?
no, the company would have to provide great benefits. so likely the plan cost would go down.
Depends on the company doesn't it? Example, Hank Scorpio (Simpsons) would probably give you great benefits, while Luthor (Superman) most likely wouldn't really care if you died or not.
At the same time while Lex does not care about his people he does care about his public image, and does want there to be a perception that he is the good guy while the alien is bad. So Lex corp likely has very good insurance.
Yeah, but Scorpio would still be the best choice. Why? Because he actually won! Yep, if you work with Scorpio, you are now part of the organisation that completely rules over the East Coast. (Or West Coast, can't remember).
Didn't say one was better then the other. Just pointed out that Lex corp would have good insurance.
Anyone know which movie/series that tank scene is from at 6:19?
Damn it. Now I want pie :/
Me too. Lemon Meringue preferably
Kara Argus I'll take a Boston Cream.
Soren is a genius
I love you guys. You're all so fun to watch. I've been here for hooooours!
I'd work for Lex Luther or Geese Howard. Sure, you're trying to take over the world, but you'll have wicked benefits and you'll learn a few usefull skills along the way like throwing energy waves with your hands and quantum physics.
at least with Lex Corp your major adversary has a "no kill" policy.......but then again he is also strong enough to destroy a galaxy with a sneeze soooo, you wont be killed by him but if you advance high enough prison becomes a big problem.
"What was the cause of death?"
"Well apparently Lex Luthor got into a big mech suit and threw superman through a building and, in the process, took out a few major support beams and the entire building collapsed on itself. This man was just busy looking up the whereabouts of various villains for Luthor when half a building was basically dropped on his head."
"no kill" policies don't cover collateral damage.
I'd like to hear some after hours thoughts on makeover movies. You've addressed the problems with training montages multiple times in the past, so we can skip that. I'm looking for something more like, as a genre, what do makeover movies teach us? Why do we like them? What does that say about culture? What artistic, cultural, entertainment value do these movies provide? Are there differences between movies where men are made over vs women?
