Let's face it: if it weren't for The Simpsons , who knows where adult animation would be today? I don't know if audiences would've given shows like Family Guy , South Park , or King of the Hill a chance if they hadn't been introduced to Homer and his family about a decade earlier. One of the most unique things about The Simpsons is that it feels like a real sitcom but just animated. One of the benefits of making an animated show is that your cast can be enormous. It would be impossible for a re…

Why do Borzois look like that?

There are so many elements that make Rick and Morty the absolute smash hit show that it has always been. It’s humor is balls to the walls insane and it’s incredibly unique when you compare it to other shows in the adult animation genre.

We've discussed spicy times children's cartoons felt…a little more “adult” in their humor thanks to the power of innuendo, but Cracked is here to reveal some even spicier moments from the world of kid's programming. Mamma mia.

When our forefathers said, "quirked up white boy with a little bit of swag busts it down sexual style.. is he goated with the sauce?" they had no way of knowing how iconic their incomprehensible words would someday be. If you're among the uninitiated and are wondering, “What is a quirked up white boy? Am I goated with the sauce too?”

Do any of you all remember the Peter Pandom ; the massive group of Tumblr fangirls who were obsessed with the actors who played Peter Pan at Disneyland? It was one of those phenomena that, upon reflection, feels like something I hallucinated when I had the swine flu. Do y'all remember the swine flu? Those were the days. Anyways, the fandom relied on teens who would go to Disneyland for the expressed purpose of telling Peter Pan all about their mental health issues. These fangirls would film the…

It isn't easy to articulate just how much of a fan of South Park I was as a tween. When I tell you I was obsessed, it doesn't even begin to cover how much I loved this program. I had a tin South Park lunchbox. I wore a recreation of Kyle's hat during the wintertime. I even wrote a parody of the hit song Call Me Maybe to make it about South Park. I loved that South Park exposed me to different current events that I was too young to have been aware of at the time. I was pretty smug walking around…

Ever wonder why billionaire Jeff Bezos is hated by an awful lot of people in the world ? Well, it probably has something to do with the fact that is known for stiffing his hard workers, making the robot takeover seem like an imminent possibility, and for, like, going to space. He's just way too freaking rich, and as is the case with most people, this makes for some cringe and clueless behavior. Jeff Bezos may be a billionaire intent on conquering the world, but he's also just a sad, cringe dude…

It's spooky season, which means it's about time to rewatch all of the Treehouse of Horror Simpsons episodes and try not to cry about the ever declining quality of our favorite cartoon. The Simpsons is such a cultural juggernaut at this point, it's hard to believe that there will ever be a time when it's not on the air. At the same time, as someone who hasn't watched a complete season since Season 10, it is similarly hard to believe that the show is still around. When you hear a description of a…

Is that one even technically a meme??

I tell you hwhat, King of the Hill memes will never get old. There's something extra funny about a meme featuring Hank Hill, perhaps because a real-life Hank Hill would have no idea what the hell a meme is. He'd be one of those technologically challenged dads who confuses text messaging with Google search. Even though the iconic animated sitcom ended over a decade ago, King of the Hill is the gift that keeps on giving in the meme world. Keep scrolling for a bunch of weird King of the Hill memes…

Did you know that Naruto Uzumaki's birthday is October 10th? That means Naruto is a Libra. Librans are typically extroverted, friendly, fun-loving, and are concerned with attaining justice in the world. This pretty much perfectly describes Naruto Uzumaki, who is cheerful and loves to prank his fellow villagers. As the series progresses, Naruto proves to be a good and kindhearted person, who is always loyal to his friends. We've rounded up a bunch of Naruto Shippuden memes for anime fanatics and…

Phineas and Ferb: Criminal Masterminds

Love him.

That's an interesting one.

It's hard to explain the rise in popularity that manga and anime have seen in the last 20 years. What could be described as “big headed, doe-eyed high schoolers fighting monsters” is not necessarily inaccurate and could be used to describe a pretty fair chunk of a lot of the medium. But hey man, people like it, and if a lot of people like something that usually means there's some value in it. Except for Ska. There's no reason that ska should exist. Just listen to surf rock and call it a day. Ma…
