@@chrishubbard64 They say that it's the oldest profession, which is probably true. However, as long as there have been prostitutes, there have been people killing prostitutes. Think about it for a moment. They invite strangers to go with them to a secluded placed so that they can place themselves in a position of vulnerability for money. If you're doing that, then you're putting yourself in the perfect position to get murdered. Not saying it's right, just that there's a very good reason why a number of religions say that you should only have sex with someone you love and trust. It's not about depriving women of the opportunity to make money, it isn't about depriving men of sex. It's about making it taboo for women to put themselves in a position of vulnerability for the benefit of mentally unstable weirdos who would do terrible things to them.
@@qty1315 Men do it for pleasure all the time and also make themselves vulnerable. They risk physical harm, disease, theft of their money or their seeds all the time. You definitely make a good point of why our ancestors advised against sex outside of someone you love and trust. It's the least amount of risk.
If brothels could be licensed, both clients & staff had mandatory sex ed (like lessons on how to zip line or skydive), mandatory contraception use, & std screenings for every client before the act & periodically for staff. I think would be significantly fewer of these people being abused, murdered, drug addicted, sick, imprisoned, etc. As well as helping society to humanize them.
All of these are good points, but thank goodness someone said something about the whole prison rape thing. The staff of prisons have a duty of care to ensure people don't get raped while in their care. It's no different than if a hospital knew that some of their patients were raping other patients, and did nothing about it. If you aren't concerned that people in prison are getting raped because they are prisoners and therefore 'terrible people' (which isn't even true in many many cases), how can you really claim that you're not a terrible person yourself?
It's actually not a common thing think about it for a second ... A bunch of guys have to live on a cell block they use the same showers and everything and if one asshole messes up the whole block go into lockdown Think of how quickly you'd piss everyone off if you were buttfucking everyone on a regular basis ... You'd be getting the whole block shut down which would absolutely piss off guys who have a hustle the whole place would smell like shit and you'd have people screaming non stop ... At some point the guy raping everyone is gonna end up dead either because a victim got tired of the BS or someone said screw it I'm tired of this asshole fucking it up for the rest of us Does rape happen in prison ... Yeah ... But Hollywood over exaggerates it because one it makes prison sound horrible and two that's about all those guys really know about prison
That was the joke used in Family Guy. Peter: ... And it's true what they say about dropping the soap. Brian: Really? Peter: Yeah, it's impossible to pick up. Two prisoners. Prisoner 1: Hey look, it's the guy who couldn't pick up the soap. Both prisoners point and laugh.

@@nicholasleclerc1583 It used to be a trope in horror and gore films. For example, there are a couple of these in Resident Evil and Alien. As you correctly pointed out, the trend is nearly extinct, although I did see a movie at the theater just yesterday that did exactly this (not saying which for spoilers).
Skriket “One recent movie has a black character that died first, therefore it’s part of the trope, because the trope has been established to exist” I don’t care about spoilers, what is the movie ?
Aw, look at all the comments by people scared that Cracked is saying they should maybe feel an inkling of discomfort with all of the dead prostitutes and rape jokes they've laughed at in their lives. Poor sensitive kiddies.
I think the difference between offensive and not serious is intent. Daniel Tosh makes racist jokes all the time and, because he's a piece of shit impersonating a human, is constantly bashed. Hell, he even got his show on Comedy Central canceled because of a RAPE JOKE he made. He was making really sexist jokes, and when a woman in the audience called him out, he remarked that it would be funny if SHE GOT RAPED! He crossed a serious line. People like Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart actually respect the people that they occasionally make racist jokes about, so it's apparent that the jokes don't come from a place of malice, unlike Tosh.
Cracked regularly treats people like idiots who just take jokes in a positive/doctrinal way at face value. Like you can't laugh at a joke about rape and be disgusted by rape at the same time, or you can't really be opposed to something if you find humor in anything to do with it. I think a lot of it's just people taking issue with the suggestion, and they can't seem to help making that suggestion in every other video. It gets old.
Jake Woolard If you laugh at something that reinforces that a criminal behavior is funny and perpetuates a culture of reoccurring said crimes among half of the world's population regardless of the traumas these victims face after it then yeah, you're doing bad. Honestly, why are [most people] here so defensive about these not even funny jokes? Can't you just stop for a second and think about the impacts that your jokes or you being the audience for a toxic type of comedy have in a society severely damaged by its reinforcement of a culture that says rape is okay or any variant of that fact? This is so exhausting...
I gotta argue the ripley one. Its only natural to latch onto a scared little girl in a horrific scenario and want to care for her. Ripley was pretty traumatized by all this. Focusing on protecting the little girl was her method of coping.
@@antigonarosaura7845 nope God got pissed when Job dared to ask why he was being tortured for nothing. He then was like dude I replaced your kids and slaves be happy or I'll take them all away again. And Job was happy.
And a lot lot of other movies don't. You typed this on a keyboard. The words appear on a screen. Grass is a plant. Cows say moo. These are all fun facts that are irrelevant to the topic at hand.
it's... an inverse straw man. Instead of saying you said some shit and arguing it, he's saying "you may as well have said this shit" and then saying it's irreverent and not worth arguing. it's like a zen riddle.
PiecesMissing No, he's just making a point. There's nothing valid in pointing out that Shawshank shows rape in a negative light, because there are more examples of rape being dealt with lightly, used as part of a morality play, or worst of all, made fucking light of like the prison rape jokes the video high lighted above.
Andy was also inoccent, which drove the plot line which made everything that happened to him so horrible. Unlike their points in the video, where everyone was a bad person and/or guilty.
The Simpsons even touched on the prison rape trope, where Milhouse is getting arrested for something he says 'I can't go to juvie, they use guys like me like currency!' and Chief Wiggum says 'Yeah they'll pass you around like... Like currency, like you said' ... I mean, it's no secret that the Simpsons has a lot of jokes that are really for an adult audience and can get a bit 'lewd' at points, but Milhouse is a kid, the threat is juvenile prison amongst other kids, and they're still joking about these kids raping each other like it's just part of the punishment to be expected in prison life.
To put some context on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer clip, in case anyone hasn't seen the episode or forgot cause of how long it's been, the girl who was saying that had just been freed from being turned into a mindless sex slave by Warren (the guy she's talking to and the semi-big bad for season 6.) He literally removed her ability to think for herself using magitech and then made her act as a sex slave for him and his friends. So, while the "you'll go to prison and we'll see how you like being raped" may not be right, it sure as hell is understandable. He then kills her in that same scene, if I remember correctly, because Warren was an asshole.
Not only did he kill her in that scene, he then used mind altering demon influence to make Buffy think that she had killed her, sending the already traumatized Buffy into a spiral of guilt and self-loathing. He's pretty, pretty, pretty bad.
Sonya Steadman Angelus? Pfft, that's nothing. I'd say Warren was worse than even The First was. Given that the latter was the literal primordial manifestation of evil, that's saying something.
Yeah, I mean c'mon - it's NOT funny to kill HOOKERS now?!!!!1!!1 Such bullshit. It's wrong laugh at rape, dead hookers OR the homeless now? WHAT ABOUT MY FREE SPEECH!!
For me, it's not about anything pro- or anti- social justice whatever... It's just interesting that these tropes occur so frequently and yet I (and I'm sure many other people) don't even register them whilst watching a movies. I'm not saying these tropes shouldn't be used or anything like that... It's just... interesting.
Non-pornos in which the prostitutes live to the end: "Trading Places," "Pretty Woman," "Leaving Las Vegas," "The Cable Guy"...eh, guess they're still in the minority.
Eyes Wide Shut... Powder Blue... Boarding Gate... True Romance... Deadpool... Tangerine... Eden... Young & Beautiful... Everly... The Immigrant. Those were off the top of my head, though admittedly, I had to think for a minute before coming up with The Immigrant. Thought of another one, Mighty Aphrodite.
ok ok cool, now take this guy, and have him narrate that clicky clacky text series that pauses every 6 seconds you have so I don't need to complain about it anymore.
Hopefully they notice the stats on those lazy text only videos are really bad, and stop making them. RUclips doesn't like when people click out of a video after only a couple seconds.
At the same time, you DID watch DESPITE thinking it was a "dumb text video." So, really, they should continue NOT explicitly labeling that difference, since it works.
I think those only go out on Thursdays. So if you're trying to avoid that format just don't watch what Cracked uploads on Thursdays and you spoiler be good.
Hm. I feel like I've seen a lot of stoner movies, but I can't recall ever seeing that one crop up outside of a Friday the 13th. Aren't James Franco and Matthew McConaughey usually okay by the end?

The scene where Norm and Artie are standing there holding fish while a mafia battle rages in the next room is one of the funniest scenes in movie history (to me anyway)

TuneLola children and mothers dying an unnecessary death is a cheap way to pull at your heartstrings and FORCE you to feel bad about it. If done tastefully, a motherly figure or child dying can be genuinely dramatic and impactful to the story line, like Mrs Tanner from the show Scrubs. She was dying and needed dialysis in order to live, but she denied it. J.D. did everything he could to get her to accept treatment, so she gave him a little talk about what she's thinking. She's an old woman. She would have one foot in the grave regardless of any fatal illnesses. Her family was paying for her bills and treatments, and they were starting to go broke. So to save her daughter and grandchildren's financial security, she chose to die and save her family's financial security rather than prolong the inevitable. That scene makes that episode of Scrubs my favorite in the whole series. I was sweet, sad, humbling, and much more. Mrs. Tanner's death was very tastefully done and; as a result, that episode is on a lot of people's favorite Scrubs episodes list/
In context, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was expressing the seriousness of prison rape. Katrina was saying that to someone who was literally about to rape her.
The worst family replacer is God. He killed Job's whole family on a bet with a devil (also did a bunch of other stuff like kill all his livestock and cover him in boils), but replaced them after with a NEW, BETTER family! Those are the exact morals I would give aliens in a sci-fi movie who just don't understand human emotion and bonding.
alex trebek No, God did it as a bet, because the Devil said Job would not hold his faith in hard times... Not that any of this is even true, these childish, clownish stories are supposed to be parables anyway, not literal events My favourite crazy God moment was when he performed mass abortions by cutting babies out of their mothers wombs, and Christians claim that abortion is anti Christian, when every mention of it in the bible is positive lol
In *reality* an unfortunate number of prostitutes are murdered. In *reality* it's normal to ignore homeless people. In *reality* it's typical for people accept prison rape as, at worst, still more acceptable than "real" rape. This might not be a Hollywood problem.
Or proably would subvert our expectations based on what we are used to seeing. Ya know. Like how scream seemed very typicap and then subverts all your horror film expectations and then CHANGES THE TROPES OF HORROR FILMS FOREVER? Acknowledging how films work is a good thing to know. It can make a bettwr movie. Not a worse one.
Movies that rely on the same thing are not anything special. The best directors are the ones who do something different. I mean, look at Cabin In The Wppds. Its was marketed as a typical horror flick, and then completely turns the genre on its head. Just like Scream and Childs Play, which changed killer doll films. Look at Quentin Tarantino or Ridley Scott. Understanding what we usually see is the best start to being different with that knowledge, if he did make a film, it would probably be pretty interesting.
+Bla Blah being self-aware about doing the same old shit is not turning it on its head or being different in any way. Mentioning that you're a hack doesn't make you stop being a hack. And the first thing this guy does in this video is mention how he's a hack. He should stop making things for people.
The dead hooker thing is a trope and I imagine there is an interesting history that explains it. I mean just consider all the historical murders that take place with sex workers. ppl dehumanize sex workers. There is some interesting stuff to investigate here.
In Face/Off Adam (Castor Troy's son) was an orphan by the end. That's why Sean and Eve (John Travolta and Joan Allen) adopted him. Sean killed Castor and Sasha, Adam's bio mom was killed when the FBI (on Travolta Castor's orders) raided the hideout.
You forgot to mention how Ripley's new family in Aliens ALSO gets taken away in the third movie. You think the actual movie is the bad horror part? Ripley always gets screwed over right in the beginning of each sequential aliens movie.
I second this, I've watched them both and I prefer the director's cut, as he said you get more movie (and it isn't boring what they add in either, like in many other director's cuts I've seen).
It's really fucked up. It just shows that people in general are SO FUCKED UP, that they think it's funny that average 100,000 men are violently sodomized in prison annually. I guarantee if they saw it happen in person, they wouldn't think it was so funny. They'd be FUCKING SCARRED FOR LIFE.
We get it prison rape is a terrible thing it really is, but does that mean you can't make jokes about it? By that logic you wouldn't be able to make almost any joke.
My wife was gang raped by a troupe of mime artists. They performed unspeakable acts on her! You guys want to play the Rape game? No? THAT'S THE SPIRIT! My favourite sexual position is the JFK. I splatter all over her while she screams and tries to get out of the car. As a policeman I deal with rape victims on a daily basis, Women really seem to trust me when I'm in a police uniform. It must be hard for a woman to be raped. Otherwise it doesn't go in properly. I bought a rape whistle and it really came in handy. It really helped to mask the screams.
Watheverable GRAMPS Even when I heared them the first time, the only one that even elicited a small chuckle from me back then was the police uniform one. Now they're even hackier the eleventh time around. Come on, step up to the challenge, make me laugh out loud.
Watheverable GRAMPS I'm not being hyperbolic, that genuinly made me laugh out loud. The way you put it makes it sound like a good rape joke is a privilige only a select few get the luxury to enjoy. Imagine that. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for that good chuckle.
In Aliens I sort of liked it because her daughter had grown up and had a happy life, it's just Ripley had missed out. Rather than her dying and being replaced it was more Ripley found another child to raise so she got that experience of being a mum again. But I understand the criticism. I just took it to mean she could start to heal. There's a reason I refuse to see the third movie. Screw that noise, Ripley's been through enough without tragedy porn.
In Europe, rape in prison doesn't really exist. And consider I live in one of the poorest and least evolved nations in Europe, but still, this is an unheard thing among convicts and ex convicts. I don't know why America is so rape-happy but Dostoevsky once said: The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by looking at it's prisoners....
So, you totally took the Buffy clip out of context... But really, any mention of Buffy in this day and age is a good thing. More people should be exposed to that show. It can change their lives.
Lmao @ Macullay Culkin having 2 plastic birds, but only giving the homeless woman one plastic bird for her services. She is clearly homeless because she has a tenuous at best grasp on capitalism!
Id just like to point out that prostitutes / sluts being murdered has been a story trope since at least Bram Stoker's Dracula. No, not the movie, the actual book lol.
Dracula was published *after* the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper in 1888, which is, I'm pretty sure, the real-life instance that cemented the murder of prostitutes in the cultural consciousness. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "/ sluts"... I think that's a different trope, like in 80's slasher flicks.
Additionally, so? Like, child molestation has existed for all of human history. Murder has too. The length of time something's been a thing has no impact on whether it's good or bad.
RAE M Seriously? Its been a thing for forever especially in the horror genre for sexually promiscuous women to end up getting brutally murdered. In Bram Stokers Dracula, vampiricism is actually an allegory for it even and arguably what set the trope in motion to kill off prostitutes and sluts in stories.
Yeah Lucy is a prime example of this, prior to her change she is still portrayed as innocent, but after her change she is portrayed as lustful and she is killed to return her to that state of innocence and purity. The male protagonist seem far more concern about the female victims sexuality than whether or not they die. I don't think Whitechapel murders necessarily created the trope, but where a byproduct of the perceived worthlessness of prostitutes during the Victorian era (just as it did in Stoker's Dracula), even more so than they have been since that time. Thought I do agree that the murders had a hand in bringing it more to the foreground and therefor had some influence on the current movie trope. Likely more influence than other similar events.
+Ruinous Power is it really a trope? I think like me men don't like women who don't value thier bodies and sleep around for nothing more then money or fun. men can't be sure a child born is actually thiers without dna. and women who sleep around can't be seen as trustworthy. and before you call it double standards tell me that women love men who sleep around like pimps. when I see a whore or slut the only thing I can think is there is some nice guy somewhere who loves and trusts this woman and sh doesn't give one fuck about him. and yes when men see another man cheat on thier girlfriend most other men are disgusted by it. we may not say it but men judge other men as sluts ad well.
Actually, in Aliens, Newt was a symbol of hope and protecting it for Ripley, not replacing another daughter. If you remember in the first Alien movie, Ripley went back for Jones the cat when she didn't need to. Ripley never kissed or did anything sexually with Hicks. They flirted and that was it. They bonded just like Vasquez and Drake did, although those two acted more like rowdy siblings but had the nickname "The Sweethearts."
you are half right. While I'm sure it was on that show its also been in a shit ton of other movies/tv shows. Its a famous stock scream called the Howie scream. Arguably the second most famous next to the Whilem scream
In my opinion, humor should be used around uncomfortable topics not to make us more comfortable with them but to bring attention to them and what can be fixed or changed. Comedy can be an amazing tool for change or it can be used to normalize suffering.
Great video, but I take issue with the "family members are interchangeable" one. In each of the examples shown, the movie actually goes to lengths to show that the person who lost family is suffering and having problems dealing with their loss. The "replacement" family members are never intended to be "replacements" - they are new relationships to help the person move on with their lives. Recovering after a loss is actually a very strong theme in a lot of movies. Quoting Leo from "Lethal Weapon 4": "You're not better friends than Froggy. You're just different." There's a lot of pathos in these scenes, if you choose to look for it.
Two points about the Buffy rape thing: One I'm pretty sure that's from season 6 which is dark AF and two that character had been date raped by those guys or something. It wasn't a joke.
I think the family trope is actually more so those are kids who were either raised by sick abusive killers or had no families and were going to die, but were thankfully taken in by people who had in fact lost loved ones and in kindness couldn't stand the idea of seeing another innocent life end because of how evil people can be in the world. Also I dunno why I thought this video would be good.
you apparently dont understand how humor works. the vast majority of jokes have a basis in tragedy or pain. its a coping mechanism to find humor in that which is awful. jokes without that kernel of reality just arent funny. we dobt laugh because rape and murder are funny, we laugh because they are awful things and laughing at our circumstances and the fucked up reality of it is a way of dealing with it.
I have to say, rape and murder, for me at least, are amongst the things I laugh at least. Usually I'll laugh at naturally occuring taboos (like death, or sexaulity), rather than man made ones (like murder). I can't recall a single occasion I've laughed about murder.
Ok; but in context the character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer had actually JUST been raped by the guy she was saying would be raped in prison. It was not a joke and was treated as serious and bad. It's weird you chose that clip when there are DEFINITELY actual prison rape jokes in the series. Usually told to or by Xander.
Veterans. Movies believe there are only two kinds of vets. 1. The guy so crippled with PTSD that he's a raving lunatic or 2. The unstoppable badass who can take out 12 guys singlehandedly. In some cases, both. The reality is that many of the people you know are vets. Normal people who just go to work every day and almost never kill 12 guys at the mall...
I know we're always complaining about the "title guy", but this video didn't really match its title. Also, believe it or not, Josh, saying "rape jokes aren't okay" and "you shouldn't rape people" on the internet actually IS very controversial. I'm glad you opted not to show RUclips commenters real pictures of your family.
+ShatteredDawn which all align with one political ideology. It's idealism over realism, comforting to people who want to pass laws that make them feel good even if they don't really make a difference.
I used to work in a city with a huge homeless population. I almost always shared some nickels and dimes with them on a regular basis. They never explained how they had wound up in that position. I'm guessing it's bad for business to depress the customer.
In your excellent list you seem to have forgotten trans people, specifically trans women (trans men don't fit because, well, do they ever even get depicted in movies?). Despite the fact that things have begun to slowly change in recent times trans women are always represented in one of three ways, in order of popularity: 1) the fraud: man approaches woman, an accident or circumstance reveals she is "a man", man runs in shock. Everyone laughs! Except the trans woman who, in real life, isn't a fraud, and has a horribly hard time finding a partner just because this trope exists. 2) the man in a dress. Penis joke! 3) the fake woman. This one is true even of most recent movies on trans issues, even documentaries: trans women talking about their "operation", getting dressed and putting make up on. While some trans women bask in their femininity, just as many don't care at all about things like make up or pretty shoes and most don't ever even get the operation. But these things are always shown when talking about trans women because they show trans women as fake - as if what made them women were the make up, the pretty shoes, or the SRS.
Ok let's de-SJW this crap. The comedies having dead hookers is called irony. The dramas having dead hookers is a trope from lazy writing. Also, I can name five films off the top of my head that don't kill hookers snd even celebrate them, including "Pretty Woman" and "Deadpool". I can't be bothered dealing with the other three but I will quickly mention that in none of the films that "dispose and replace family members" do they actually treat humans as replaceable. In Face Off there is no "hey I got a new kid" you can see clearly that the lose of his own kid has made him have empathy for this child who's father he killed. Which is why he takes him in. The implication is they are all broken but they can help each other out in the years to come as the cop takes responsibility for his actions.
I like all the moving parts of your site; but if you ever get rid of Roger, you're EFFED!! If he has any health problems, you better pay to give him any transplants (including head to another body) XD
It's not that it's necessarily "funnier" that hookers are killed, it's just based on the very same statistics mentioned right after. Also, other lines of work wouldn't make sense in the context of some depraved killer, most of the time. The funny thing is that perhaps the same writer of this video could write a different one with the same title, but pointing to exceptions to some of these tropes as how Hollywood is out of touch with reality, painting situations of disadvantaged people under nice, romantic, lenses. "Pretty woman: a funny, modern fairytale. Except not for the absurd amount of sex-workers that end up murdered, but that's doesn't sell as much tickets, so Hollywood won't show".
I didn't watch tv for about two years. After that the first thing I watched was forest gump which is one of my favorite movies and it was awesome. After that I watched blood diamond and eastern promise which were also good movies but bad at the same time. I remember thinking that it was horrible, all the killing, rape, kidnapping and child soldiers. All of this stuff is obviously bad. The next thing I watched was shaft with Samuel Jackson and I couldn't believe it. Not only did he kill more people in the first 15 minutes then the other two movies combined but he didn't give a fuck and was a cool motherfucker for doing it. It's not about the joke, it's the backdrop. The joke is that you get raped in prison, that portray that as a fact and the joke is based on it as fact. The joke isn't that homeless people are less important isn't the joke, that is portrayed as fact and the joke is based on it as a fact. Putting the same ideas in the backdrop of all media is a way to control people's view of reality, making people think, that is the way things really are. I know fucked up people will always be fucked up but I would guess that there are some people who do something bad and don't really realize it until later and are truly sorry after they do.
The tragedy is that the extreme vulnerabilitat of sex workers is directly caused by the stubborn refusal of both, Feminists, and conservatives to regulate the sex trade, despite amble proof that legal, well regulated prostitution results in healthier, safer working conditions for sex workers, drastically reduces the involvement of criminal elements etc. All out of a misguided belief that making legal persecution of the sex trade is somehow somehow protecting women. Also one could bring up the fact that prisión rape and homelessness are banalized to the degree that they are because they overwhelmingly affects men, but the video managed to create an ilusiono of gender valance, so I guess we won't.
The amount of strippers and prostitutes killed in Family Guy and American Dad makes me think Seth Macfarlane has a serious problem.

Think about it for a moment. They invite strangers to go with them to a secluded placed so that they can place themselves in a position of vulnerability for money. If you're doing that, then you're putting yourself in the perfect position to get murdered.
Not saying it's right, just that there's a very good reason why a number of religions say that you should only have sex with someone you love and trust. It's not about depriving women of the opportunity to make money, it isn't about depriving men of sex.

All of these are good points, but thank goodness someone said something about the whole prison rape thing. The staff of prisons have a duty of care to ensure people don't get raped while in their care. It's no different than if a hospital knew that some of their patients were raping other patients, and did nothing about it. If you aren't concerned that people in prison are getting raped because they are prisoners and therefore 'terrible people' (which isn't even true in many many cases), how can you really claim that you're not a terrible person yourself?

thanks, lol..wet soap IS very slippery apt to fly out of our very wet "soapy" hands !!!! 2 meanings ? LOL...............
I always thought it was a reference towards the pirate doubloons, not the soap.
That was the joke used in Family Guy.
Peter: ... And it's true what they say about dropping the soap.
Brian: Really?
Peter: Yeah, it's impossible to pick up.
Two prisoners.
Prisoner 1: Hey look, it's the guy who couldn't pick up the soap.
Both prisoners point and laugh.
I mean that is also very true
Vitringur for the longest time I just thought it was because the shower floor was dirty and when you dropped the soap it made the soap dirty to...
Don't forget "the black guy always dies first"

-Not in Star Wars it doesn’t
-Neither in Hancock;
-Not in Black Panther ei - uh, well..... uk, it’s an all black cast.... so.... except Bilbo Baggins; and he’s been showed to have survived that movie ‘till Civil War (if I follow the MCU correctly)
-Get Out
-The Matrix
-Game Night
-Hunger Games
-Maybe some Segregation-themed movies; I’d bet on that for sure...
...Well, actually, uk what ? Is it really a racist movie stereotype, a traditional trope, or just randomness ? I mean, what made you think of this ?
I’ve heard of this trope many times, but can anyone name any movies that actually do this?
There are so many examples of that not being the case, it's not a trope anymore.
@@nicholasleclerc1583 It used to be a trope in horror and gore films. For example, there are a couple of these in Resident Evil and Alien. As you correctly pointed out, the trend is nearly extinct, although I did see a movie at the theater just yesterday that did exactly this (not saying which for spoilers).
Skriket
“One recent movie has a black character that died first, therefore it’s part of the trope, because the trope has been established to exist”
I don’t care about spoilers, what is the movie ?
Yes Adam Sander hates the homeless, they remind him that without his SNL time he could be one of them.
Aw, look at all the comments by people scared that Cracked is saying they should maybe feel an inkling of discomfort with all of the dead prostitutes and rape jokes they've laughed at in their lives. Poor sensitive kiddies.
Nah, I've always thought they were funny and I find it ok to joke about rape and death
yippyyippy yoyo Well then clearly I'm not talking about you then, eh?
I think the difference between offensive and not serious is intent. Daniel Tosh makes racist jokes all the time and, because he's a piece of shit impersonating a human, is constantly bashed. Hell, he even got his show on Comedy Central canceled because of a RAPE JOKE he made. He was making really sexist jokes, and when a woman in the audience called him out, he remarked that it would be funny if SHE GOT RAPED! He crossed a serious line. People like Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart actually respect the people that they occasionally make racist jokes about, so it's apparent that the jokes don't come from a place of malice, unlike Tosh.
Cracked regularly treats people like idiots who just take jokes in a positive/doctrinal way at face value. Like you can't laugh at a joke about rape and be disgusted by rape at the same time, or you can't really be opposed to something if you find humor in anything to do with it. I think a lot of it's just people taking issue with the suggestion, and they can't seem to help making that suggestion in every other video. It gets old.
Jake Woolard If you laugh at something that reinforces that a criminal behavior is funny and perpetuates a culture of reoccurring said crimes among half of the world's population regardless of the traumas these victims face after it then yeah, you're doing bad. Honestly, why are [most people] here so defensive about these not even funny jokes? Can't you just stop for a second and think about the impacts that your jokes or you being the audience for a toxic type of comedy have in a society severely damaged by its reinforcement of a culture that says rape is okay or any variant of that fact? This is so exhausting...
'Replaceable family' goes back at least to the Biblical story of Job.
I think that he resurrected them. I see that more meaningfull than replaceable family.
I gotta argue the ripley one. Its only natural to latch onto a scared little girl in a horrific scenario and want to care for her. Ripley was pretty traumatized by all this. Focusing on protecting the little girl was her method of coping.
@@antigonarosaura7845 nope God got pissed when Job dared to ask why he was being tortured for nothing. He then was like dude I replaced your kids and slaves be happy or I'll take them all away again. And Job was happy.
Shaw shank Redemption depicted prison rape as a REALLY bad thing
And a lot lot of other movies don't. You typed this on a keyboard. The words appear on a screen. Grass is a plant. Cows say moo. These are all fun facts that are irrelevant to the topic at hand.
That's not what a fucking straw man is.
it's... an inverse straw man. Instead of saying you said some shit and arguing it, he's saying "you may as well have said this shit" and then saying it's irreverent and not worth arguing. it's like a zen riddle.
PiecesMissing No, he's just making a point. There's nothing valid in pointing out that Shawshank shows rape in a negative light, because there are more examples of rape being dealt with lightly, used as part of a morality play, or worst of all, made fucking light of like the prison rape jokes the video high lighted above.
Andy was also inoccent, which drove the plot line which made everything that happened to him so horrible. Unlike their points in the video, where everyone was a bad person and/or guilty.
The Simpsons even touched on the prison rape trope, where Milhouse is getting arrested for something he says 'I can't go to juvie, they use guys like me like currency!' and Chief Wiggum says 'Yeah they'll pass you around like... Like currency, like you said' ... I mean, it's no secret that the Simpsons has a lot of jokes that are really for an adult audience and can get a bit 'lewd' at points, but Milhouse is a kid, the threat is juvenile prison amongst other kids, and they're still joking about these kids raping each other like it's just part of the punishment to be expected in prison life.
Robot Butler/Milkshake Machine was a stroke of genius.
To put some context on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer clip, in case anyone hasn't seen the episode or forgot cause of how long it's been, the girl who was saying that had just been freed from being turned into a mindless sex slave by Warren (the guy she's talking to and the semi-big bad for season 6.) He literally removed her ability to think for herself using magitech and then made her act as a sex slave for him and his friends. So, while the "you'll go to prison and we'll see how you like being raped" may not be right, it sure as hell is understandable. He then kills her in that same scene, if I remember correctly, because Warren was an asshole.
Fuck Angelus, Warren was the worst.
Not only did he kill her in that scene, he then used mind altering demon influence to make Buffy think that she had killed her, sending the already traumatized Buffy into a spiral of guilt and self-loathing.
He's pretty, pretty, pretty bad.
Yeah, love this channel but they do take some things out of context.
lol Toth
Sonya Steadman Angelus? Pfft, that's nothing. I'd say Warren was worse than even The First was. Given that the latter was the literal primordial manifestation of evil, that's saying something.
Best Cracked video in this format for AAAAAAGES
Format, nice. Content, SJW nonsensical bullshit.
Yeah, I mean c'mon - it's NOT funny to kill HOOKERS now?!!!!1!!1 Such bullshit. It's wrong laugh at rape, dead hookers OR the homeless now? WHAT ABOUT MY FREE SPEECH!!
Those damn SJW's, pointing out overused tropes in TV and films and showing there are actually real people behind these jokes, what buzzkills!
Damn. The anti-SJW crowd has become just as humorless and tedious as the fucking SJWs. Go suck off Milo Yiannopoulos and shut the fuck up.
For me, it's not about anything pro- or anti- social justice whatever... It's just interesting that these tropes occur so frequently and yet I (and I'm sure many other people) don't even register them whilst watching a movies. I'm not saying these tropes shouldn't be used or anything like that... It's just... interesting.
Non-pornos in which the prostitutes live to the end: "Trading Places," "Pretty Woman," "Leaving Las Vegas," "The Cable Guy"...eh, guess they're still in the minority.
Eyes Wide Shut... Powder Blue... Boarding Gate... True Romance... Deadpool... Tangerine... Eden... Young & Beautiful... Everly... The Immigrant. Those were off the top of my head, though admittedly, I had to think for a minute before coming up with The Immigrant. Thought of another one, Mighty Aphrodite.
The hangover (the prostitute is probably the most likable character)
technically she was a stripper and not a prostitute.
***** p sure she was just a stripper. I could be wrong though, idk.
a movie from the mid 80's called milk money...... on a side note, pornos where the prostitute lives...... all of them.
ok ok cool, now take this guy, and have him narrate that clicky clacky text series that pauses every 6 seconds you have so I don't need to complain about it anymore.
What's the deal with your profile pic? I've seen it everywhere but I've no idea what the big deal is.

I was homeless for a few years. Peole seem to think it's contagious.
I almost didny watch cause I thougt this was one of those dumb text videos. You guys should label those, please
it would be at least 7
Hopefully they notice the stats on those lazy text only videos are really bad, and stop making them. RUclips doesn't like when people click out of a video after only a couple seconds.
At the same time, you DID watch DESPITE thinking it was a "dumb text video." So, really, they should continue NOT explicitly labeling that difference, since it works.
Sure, in the short term, but after awhile I think it's going to add the other negative things and turn people away.
I think those only go out on Thursdays. So if you're trying to avoid that format just don't watch what Cracked uploads on Thursdays and you spoiler be good.
when i was a kid i just assumed "don't drop the soap" jokes were about how it's inconvenient to try and pick up soap in the showe,,, i was naive
You forgot the "person who smoked a joint" in a movie and gets murdered but they somehow deserved it for that. Crops up a lot in movies.

Yup. People love to have an enemy.

Mitch: Can't say that I have there, bearded broad.
Bearded Lady: Well, then, sugar, you haven't lived.

The scene where Norm and Artie are standing there holding fish while a mafia battle rages in the next room is one of the funniest scenes in movie history (to me anyway)

Another four (since you like making these):
Lesbians
People of colour
Parental figures
Aaaand "unattractive" ladies
We did it guys, movies are still terrible.!
He'd be too much of a pussy to make that video.
It's not Parental figures so much as it is Motherly figures. killing the mother is a cheap, quick, and effective way to pull at heartstrings.
That's true. The kid and mother dies, then the father becomes the protagonist who lives forever (sometimes in a barren wasteland, with a dog).
TuneLola children and mothers dying an unnecessary death is a cheap way to pull at your heartstrings and FORCE you to feel bad about it. If done tastefully, a motherly figure or child dying can be genuinely dramatic and impactful to the story line, like Mrs Tanner from the show Scrubs. She was dying and needed dialysis in order to live, but she denied it. J.D. did everything he could to get her to accept treatment, so she gave him a little talk about what she's thinking. She's an old woman. She would have one foot in the grave regardless of any fatal illnesses. Her family was paying for her bills and treatments, and they were starting to go broke. So to save her daughter and grandchildren's financial security, she chose to die and save her family's financial security rather than prolong the inevitable. That scene makes that episode of Scrubs my favorite in the whole series. I was sweet, sad, humbling, and much more. Mrs. Tanner's death was very tastefully done and; as a result, that episode is on a lot of people's favorite Scrubs episodes list/
Movies are bad to blue people.

Are you offended... for rest of the world? Dear God, can there be nothing you're not offended by?
Hmm, never watched Dirty Work... maybe I should.
Fuck yes you should.
looks good
You DEFINITELY should
In context, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was expressing the seriousness of prison rape. Katrina was saying that to someone who was literally about to rape her.
Moral of the video = We should all watch Dirty Work.
in the land of the skunks the man with half a nose is king!
Damn how did you know I was actually on my lunch break?!
The worst family replacer is God. He killed Job's whole family on a bet with a devil (also did a bunch of other stuff like kill all his livestock and cover him in boils), but replaced them after with a NEW, BETTER family! Those are the exact morals I would give aliens in a sci-fi movie who just don't understand human emotion and bonding.
it was the Devil that did that, not God
All powerful, kinda his fault. And by kinda, 100%
Technically god killed everyone who has ever lived because you cannot die until God allows it.
alex trebek No, God did it as a bet, because the Devil said Job would not hold his faith in hard times...
Not that any of this is even true, these childish, clownish stories are supposed to be parables anyway, not literal events
My favourite crazy God moment was when he performed mass abortions by cutting babies out of their mothers wombs, and Christians claim that abortion is anti Christian, when every mention of it in the bible is positive lol
@@petelee2477 True
Wait. He said "Hi, America". If I'm not American, should I stop watching?
Yes. Just pretend. Lol
I wouldn't have even noticed if you didn't point it out, though.
Why is rape funny if it happens to a man in prison?
Well if they're in jail because they raped someone it is.
What's more it's somehow treated as a form of justice if the man in prison was a scumbag.
Rape can never be justice.
In *reality* an unfortunate number of prostitutes are murdered. In *reality* it's normal to ignore homeless people. In *reality* it's typical for people accept prison rape as, at worst, still more acceptable than "real" rape.
This might not be a Hollywood problem.
I read the title as 4 types of movies people hate for some reason, which would be interesting.
If this dude made a movie it would be really fucking boring.
Or proably would subvert our expectations based on what we are used to seeing. Ya know. Like how scream seemed very typicap and then subverts all your horror film expectations and then CHANGES THE TROPES OF HORROR FILMS FOREVER? Acknowledging how films work is a good thing to know. It can make a bettwr movie. Not a worse one.
Cause lazy, hackneyed tropes are the ONLY entertainment in my America, dammit! No dead hookers, no sale!
+Bla Blah Nope, if this dude did make a movie it would be boring. And movies are the best examples where the consumers wallet talks.
Movies that rely on the same thing are not anything special. The best directors are the ones who do something different. I mean, look at Cabin In The Wppds. Its was marketed as a typical horror flick, and then completely turns the genre on its head. Just like Scream and Childs Play, which changed killer doll films. Look at Quentin Tarantino or Ridley Scott. Understanding what we usually see is the best start to being different with that knowledge, if he did make a film, it would probably be pretty interesting.
+Bla Blah being self-aware about doing the same old shit is not turning it on its head or being different in any way. Mentioning that you're a hack doesn't make you stop being a hack. And the first thing this guy does in this video is mention how he's a hack. He should stop making things for people.
The dead hooker thing is a trope and I imagine there is an interesting history that explains it. I mean just consider all the historical murders that take place with sex workers. ppl dehumanize sex workers. There is some interesting stuff to investigate here.
Never thought of the prostitute thing, but now that you bring it up... They DO die a whole lot.
In Face/Off Adam (Castor Troy's son) was an orphan by the end. That's why Sean and Eve (John Travolta and Joan Allen) adopted him. Sean killed Castor and Sasha, Adam's bio mom was killed when the FBI (on Travolta Castor's orders) raided the hideout.
Fucking LOVE Dirty work.
We need an After Hours where Swaim wins at the end by arguing Dirty Work for most progressive film.
I love Dirty Work. Norm cracks me the fuck up in that movie.
I about had a seizure I was laughing so hard from the "dead" hookers in the trunk scene.
You forgot to mention how Ripley's new family in Aliens ALSO gets taken away in the third movie. You think the actual movie is the bad horror part? Ripley always gets screwed over right in the beginning of each sequential aliens movie.
You're crazy, the director's cut of Aliens is a work of art!
Dirty work is great tho...
I second this, I've watched them both and I prefer the director's cut, as he said you get more movie (and it isn't boring what they add in either, like in many other director's cuts I've seen).
Admittedly, it was rather interesting to see that it was actually Ripley's account that got all those people on the colony killed.
Agreed! The directors cut is far superior.
Opinions on prison rape is my litmus test to tell good feminists apart from the crazy ones.
How do you feel about prison rape:
A) I really don't like it.
B) I don't like it.
C) I kind of like it.
D) I like it.
E) I really like it.
It's really fucked up. It just shows that people in general are SO FUCKED UP, that they think it's funny that average 100,000 men are violently sodomized in prison annually. I guarantee if they saw it happen in person, they wouldn't think it was so funny. They'd be FUCKING SCARRED FOR LIFE.
@@dontblinkparkour That would be true even if the jokes were ORIGINAL. But they almost never are.
We get it prison rape is a terrible thing it really is, but does that mean you can't make jokes about it? By that logic you wouldn't be able to make almost any joke.
C'mon, make me laugh. Tell me a good rape joke.
My wife was gang raped by a troupe of mime artists.
They performed unspeakable acts on her!
You guys want to play the Rape game? No?
THAT'S THE SPIRIT!
My favourite sexual position is the JFK.
I splatter all over her while she screams and tries to get out of the car.
As a policeman I deal with rape victims on a daily basis,
Women really seem to trust me when I'm in a police uniform.
It must be hard for a woman to be raped.
Otherwise it doesn't go in properly.
I bought a rape whistle and it really came in handy.
It really helped to mask the screams.
Watheverable GRAMPS Even when I heared them the first time, the only one that even elicited a small chuckle from me back then was the police uniform one. Now they're even hackier the eleventh time around. Come on, step up to the challenge, make me laugh out loud.
No it just means there doesn't need to be an inescapable onslaught of jokes about. Way over used.
Watheverable GRAMPS I'm not being hyperbolic, that genuinly made me laugh out loud. The way you put it makes it sound like a good rape joke is a privilige only a select few get the luxury to enjoy. Imagine that. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for that good chuckle.
It totally IS my lunch break! How did you know?
I was waiting for the Archer example 😂
In Aliens I sort of liked it because her daughter had grown up and had a happy life, it's just Ripley had missed out. Rather than her dying and being replaced it was more Ripley found another child to raise so she got that experience of being a mum again. But I understand the criticism. I just took it to mean she could start to heal.
There's a reason I refuse to see the third movie. Screw that noise, Ripley's been through enough without tragedy porn.
Hi America? I guess I'm not allowed here then :(
To me.

Make RUclips Great Again
Nag, you're good, everywhere is America. At least according to the only people on the planet that matter: 'Mericans.
In Europe, rape in prison doesn't really exist. And consider I live in one of the poorest and least evolved nations in Europe, but still, this is an unheard thing among convicts and ex convicts. I don't know why America is so rape-happy but Dostoevsky once said: The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by looking at it's prisoners....
Do they really think they are only speaking these videos to America?
Do you really think that's why they open the video with that phrase?
I don't see why else
well, RUclips AND Cracked are both American companies, so it's safe to assume that the majority of viewers are Americans
So, you totally took the Buffy clip out of context... But really, any mention of Buffy in this day and age is a good thing. More people should be exposed to that show. It can change their lives.
Put some space between you & the green screen to avoid that weird "bad copy & paste job" effect. Just one large step forward should do.
Wow. There was actually so much wrong with this one that for once, I don't even have time to go into it. That's a new low, Cracked.
Hookers HAD a reality show - America Undercover: Hookers at the Point. Get your 90's together, cracked.
The home alone 2 thing is kinda a stretch
Now I really want to watch Dirty Work.
Lmao @ Macullay Culkin having 2 plastic birds, but only giving the homeless woman one plastic bird for her services. She is clearly homeless because she has a tenuous at best grasp on capitalism!
"Then they switch faces and pretend to be each other. This movie is exhausting to explain."
Yeah, these are all pretty lame, overused tropes, I guess.
Prison rape isn't a character.
Id just like to point out that prostitutes / sluts being murdered has been a story trope since at least Bram Stoker's Dracula. No, not the movie, the actual book lol.
Dracula was published *after* the Whitechapel murders of Jack the Ripper in 1888, which is, I'm pretty sure, the real-life instance that cemented the murder of prostitutes in the cultural consciousness.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "/ sluts"... I think that's a different trope, like in 80's slasher flicks.
Additionally, so? Like, child molestation has existed for all of human history. Murder has too. The length of time something's been a thing has no impact on whether it's good or bad.
RAE M Seriously? Its been a thing for forever especially in the horror genre for sexually promiscuous women to end up getting brutally murdered. In Bram Stokers Dracula, vampiricism is actually an allegory for it even and arguably what set the trope in motion to kill off prostitutes and sluts in stories.
Yeah Lucy is a prime example of this, prior to her change she is still portrayed as innocent, but after her change she is portrayed as lustful and she is killed to return her to that state of innocence and purity. The male protagonist seem far more concern about the female victims sexuality than whether or not they die. I don't think Whitechapel murders necessarily created the trope, but where a byproduct of the perceived worthlessness of prostitutes during the Victorian era (just as it did in Stoker's Dracula), even more so than they have been since that time. Thought I do agree that the murders had a hand in bringing it more to the foreground and therefor had some influence on the current movie trope. Likely more influence than other similar events.
+Ruinous Power is it really a trope? I think like me men don't like women who don't value thier bodies and sleep around for nothing more then money or fun. men can't be sure a child born is actually thiers without dna. and women who sleep around can't be seen as trustworthy. and before you call it double standards tell me that women love men who sleep around like pimps. when I see a whore or slut the only thing I can think is there is some nice guy somewhere who loves and trusts this woman and sh doesn't give one fuck about him. and yes when men see another man cheat on thier girlfriend most other men are disgusted by it. we may not say it but men judge other men as sluts ad well.
Actually, in Aliens, Newt was a symbol of hope and protecting it for Ripley, not replacing another daughter. If you remember in the first Alien movie, Ripley went back for Jones the cat when she didn't need to. Ripley never kissed or did anything sexually with Hicks. They flirted and that was it. They bonded just like Vasquez and Drake did, although those two acted more like rowdy siblings but had the nickname "The Sweethearts."
Ending scream is from Aaahhh Real Monsters.
you are half right. While I'm sure it was on that show its also been in a shit ton of other movies/tv shows. Its a famous stock scream called the Howie scream. Arguably the second most famous next to the Whilem scream
6:13 Typically 100% down with JF, but that Buffy scene was taken out of context kinda. She was just mind controlled and almost certainly raped by him.
In my opinion, humor should be used around uncomfortable topics not to make us more comfortable with them but to bring attention to them and what can be fixed or changed. Comedy can be an amazing tool for change or it can be used to normalize suffering.
Great video, but I take issue with the "family members are interchangeable" one. In each of the examples shown, the movie actually goes to lengths to show that the person who lost family is suffering and having problems dealing with their loss. The "replacement" family members are never intended to be "replacements" - they are new relationships to help the person move on with their lives. Recovering after a loss is actually a very strong theme in a lot of movies.
Quoting Leo from "Lethal Weapon 4": "You're not better friends than Froggy. You're just different."
There's a lot of pathos in these scenes, if you choose to look for it.
DIRTY WORK IS THE MOVE UNDERRATED MOVIE EVER, THAT'S FOR GODDAMN SURE.
Give this guy a raise and let him do more videos.
Rent.
Stripper
Two points about the Buffy rape thing: One I'm pretty sure that's from season 6 which is dark AF and two that character had been date raped by those guys or something. It wasn't a joke.
When you were talking about prison rape I was waiting for you to mention Shawshank and its rape scenes…
Da Pumaface Thank you! Exactly my thought. Not too positive or hilarious in that movie.
Or American History X
I think the family trope is actually more so those are kids who were either raised by sick abusive killers or had no families and were going to die, but were thankfully taken in by people who had in fact lost loved ones and in kindness couldn't stand the idea of seeing another innocent life end because of how evil people can be in the world. Also I dunno why I thought this video would be good.
Please do more like this, Josh. You used the format well.
Why are the Cracked presenters so patronising?
SJW's. It's what they do.
Awe, you mad bro?
Fisher King with Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams features a lot of attention on homelessness.
you apparently dont understand how humor works. the vast majority of jokes have a basis in tragedy or pain. its a coping mechanism to find humor in that which is awful. jokes without that kernel of reality just arent funny. we dobt laugh because rape and murder are funny, we laugh because they are awful things and laughing at our circumstances and the fucked up reality of it is a way of dealing with it.
I have to say, rape and murder, for me at least, are amongst the things I laugh at least. Usually I'll laugh at naturally occuring taboos (like death, or sexaulity), rather than man made ones (like murder). I can't recall a single occasion I've laughed about murder.
Tap That whats the difference between an onion and a dead hooker?
I cried when I chooped up the onion. *badumtiss*
Sheldon Buchanan *Poker face*
Ok; but in context the character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer had actually JUST been raped by the guy she was saying would be raped in prison.
It was not a joke and was treated as serious and bad.
It's weird you chose that clip when there are DEFINITELY actual prison rape jokes in the series. Usually told to or by Xander.
Intersectional feminism...with some actual humor.
You don't know what you're talking about.
A Imraah Great rebuttal, mate.
I love the underhanded-ness of it all.
Veterans. Movies believe there are only two kinds of vets. 1. The guy so crippled with PTSD that he's a raving lunatic or 2. The unstoppable badass who can take out 12 guys singlehandedly. In some cases, both.
The reality is that many of the people you know are vets. Normal people who just go to work every day and almost never kill 12 guys at the mall...
why do movies somewhat portray reality and how people actually behave?
even rose dies in game of thrones! but oh well who doesn't?
Its made even worse seeing as her book counterpart is merely whipped, but lives.
Merely? *raises eyebrow*
I think her name is "Roz".
(Also, almost everyone dies in that show)
yeah using Game of Thrones doesn't work in this case, like half the characters from season 1 are dead now
I know we're always complaining about the "title guy", but this video didn't really match its title.
Also, believe it or not, Josh, saying "rape jokes aren't okay" and "you shouldn't rape people" on the internet actually IS very controversial. I'm glad you opted not to show RUclips commenters real pictures of your family.
In the end he's just worried about whether movies fall in line with his political ideology. What a fucking boring way to live your life.
It's not so much about political ideology as it is about disliking how many movies dehumanize people or provide really faulty lessons and stories
+ShatteredDawn which all align with one political ideology. It's idealism over realism, comforting to people who want to pass laws that make them feel good even if they don't really make a difference.
mavfan1 That's a severely unrealistic way of looking at reality. Political ideology isn't realism vs idealism, it's(typically) tradition vs change.
I don't know if "worried" is the right word. Maybe he's just critiquing a medium of pop culture in a thoughtful way?

Your username is not helping our side of this argument.
I used to work in a city with a huge homeless population. I almost always shared some nickels and dimes with them on a regular basis. They never explained how they had wound up in that position. I'm guessing it's bad for business to depress the customer.
I never thought I'd agree with the elderly, but I feel like the rapid advancement in technology is causing people to dissociate from reality.
SAMEEE I mean, I'm being completely serious here, it's starting to become very apparent, especially when technology is paired with capitalism
Alex Arias yeah. It's really unsettling.
Elijah Bailey and sad. They'll all be vegetables soon
Alex Arias no, they'll all be poor, as Donald Trump got elected😑
Elijah Bailey well that'll be due to different factors lol
In your excellent list you seem to have forgotten trans people, specifically trans women (trans men don't fit because, well, do they ever even get depicted in movies?).
Despite the fact that things have begun to slowly change in recent times trans women are always represented in one of three ways, in order of popularity:
1) the fraud: man approaches woman, an accident or circumstance reveals she is "a man", man runs in shock. Everyone laughs! Except the trans woman who, in real life, isn't a fraud, and has a horribly hard time finding a partner just because this trope exists.
2) the man in a dress. Penis joke!
3) the fake woman. This one is true even of most recent movies on trans issues, even documentaries: trans women talking about their "operation", getting dressed and putting make up on. While some trans women bask in their femininity, just as many don't care at all about things like make up or pretty shoes and most don't ever even get the operation. But these things are always shown when talking about trans women because they show trans women as fake - as if what made them women were the make up, the pretty shoes, or the SRS.

In movies, skeptics are ALWAYS wrong - in reality, we are ALMOST ALWAYS right.
Ok let's de-SJW this crap. The comedies having dead hookers is called irony. The dramas having dead hookers is a trope from lazy writing. Also, I can name five films off the top of my head that don't kill hookers snd even celebrate them, including "Pretty Woman" and "Deadpool".
I can't be bothered dealing with the other three but I will quickly mention that in none of the films that "dispose and replace family members" do they actually treat humans as replaceable. In Face Off there is no "hey I got a new kid" you can see clearly that the lose of his own kid has made him have empathy for this child who's father he killed. Which is why he takes him in. The implication is they are all broken but they can help each other out in the years to come as the cop takes responsibility for his actions.
I like all the moving parts of your site; but if you ever get rid of Roger, you're EFFED!! If he has any health problems, you better pay to give him any transplants (including head to another body) XD
It's not that it's necessarily "funnier" that hookers are killed, it's just based on the very same statistics mentioned right after. Also, other lines of work wouldn't make sense in the context of some depraved killer, most of the time.
The funny thing is that perhaps the same writer of this video could write a different one with the same title, but pointing to exceptions to some of these tropes as how Hollywood is out of touch with reality, painting situations of disadvantaged people under nice, romantic, lenses. "Pretty woman: a funny, modern fairytale. Except not for the absurd amount of sex-workers that end up murdered, but that's doesn't sell as much tickets, so Hollywood won't show".
Hey CRACKED how about a video explaining why Tommy Wissue's "The Room" is the best film ever!!!
I didn't watch tv for about two years. After that the first thing I watched was forest gump which is one of my favorite movies and it was awesome.
After that I watched blood diamond and eastern promise which were also good movies but bad at the same time. I remember thinking that it was horrible, all the killing, rape, kidnapping and child soldiers. All of this stuff is obviously bad.
The next thing I watched was shaft with Samuel Jackson and I couldn't believe it. Not only did he kill more people in the first 15 minutes then the other two movies combined but he didn't give a fuck and was a cool motherfucker for doing it.
It's not about the joke, it's the backdrop. The joke is that you get raped in prison, that portray that as a fact and the joke is based on it as fact. The joke isn't that homeless people are less important isn't the joke, that is portrayed as fact and the joke is based on it as a fact.
Putting the same ideas in the backdrop of all media is a way to control people's view of reality, making people think, that is the way things really are.
I know fucked up people will always be fucked up but I would guess that there are some people who do something bad and don't really realize it until later and are truly sorry after they do.
Archer was actually making a joke about the "you killed a hooker" trope. She was tranquilized.
The tragedy is that the extreme vulnerabilitat of sex workers is directly caused by the stubborn refusal of both, Feminists, and conservatives to regulate the sex trade, despite amble proof that legal, well regulated prostitution results in healthier, safer working conditions for sex workers, drastically reduces the involvement of criminal elements etc. All out of a misguided belief that making legal persecution of the sex trade is somehow somehow protecting women. Also one could bring up the fact that prisión rape and homelessness are banalized to the degree that they are because they overwhelmingly affects men, but the video managed to create an ilusiono of gender valance, so I guess we won't.
