So social media is the adult version of the spoiled kid who gets his way by having a screaming tantrum in Wal Mart?

[killington]

"what's the worst a little ol' social media platform could do to a popular website?" The length of this pause forced the point into our physical universe. Ty Jordan for bringing Cracked back

[ricksgaming]

I try not to do social media because I 100% agree with what Roger is saying, yet here I am.

[pizzamon]

I really like how Cracked "engages" with the viewers in the comments, giving them little shots of dopamine. Ooo, aaahhh!!! Gimmie some of that😉

[Jakem]

Quitting social media was the best thing I’ve done in a while

[samuelboundy]

As a Brit... I had no idea that "Being Rodgered" was understood in the US 😳😂

[Helmutt]

Kudos for saying "I gotta clean up" with such a straight face lol

[Briansgate]

This is so true. This is why most of us should limit our social media use, and some people shouldnt be on any of them at all.
Cancel your socials, and go outside!

[miriams.]

I get my dopamine hit whenever a new Roger video comes out 😄

[maechael-nsxe]

I'm so glad Roger is back at it, really wish more of the older series could be revived.

[ZWD]

You click on a Roger once and YT feeds you constant Rogers. Finally something useful and educational. Did it on a cat video once but the effect is not the same. If you've seen one, you've seen 'm all.

[poetrycomix]

Shout out to everyone who worked at Cracked prior to 2017. This video tips its hat to you.

[wobblybob]

Roger is pure gold, why one earth is he not cast as some Bond villain? The pure panache with which he deliver "evil" in a good package is magic.

[mattbilderback]

It's not like a social media company could change the outcome of an election. That would be crazy talk.

[claynorwood]

Roger Horton is my favorite member of the Boomer generation. For real Jack, you have this character nailed.

[smokeyfantastico]

Funny how everyone didn't get Roger's shade about how a social media company can do to a popular website, aka Facebook fucked over Cracked and almost destroyed it

[TracksideViews]

Roger, the most trusted name on the internet.

[itskeagan]

Social media and technology should be cautiously approached ESPECIALLY where children are involved. They don’t have the mental capacity to handle that stress and pressure-peer pressure is hard enough.

[danielshoudy]

Noticed a significant improvement for my mental health when I stopped using Facebook, IG n such years ago. Yes I realize I'm commenting on a social media platform rn although I don't feel like YT is nearly as bad for you as those as if I do engage it's mostly just drive by comments that I'll rarely check a response to or from...

[Psychol-Snooper]

That long pause with the old outro music was so perfect. I would not have gotten the reference otherwise.

I think YouTube did as much to kill websites as other social media. I know I consumed Cracked and other's content (College Humor) here where it was aggregated in easy to access.
