Honestly, I didn't know Cracked was even still around.

This reminds me of when National Lampoon got thoroughly trounced by Adult Swim. Tell me the story behind this.

Can I just state right now that Seanbaby is one of the funniest motherf***ers in the world? I'm reading some of his articles and they are phenomenal.
Ignore how the Fresh Prince of Bel Air can beat your deadliest star pilots in combat, or how Judd Hirsch can outwit your mothership’s software network. When you aliens are watching Independence Day, I hope what you really take away from it is this: Randy Quaid can kill you. That’s not good news, space monsters. Randy Quaid isn’t our best human. Here on Earth, we make Randy Quaid wear a helmet when he tries to think. Of Mice and Men was actually a Randy Quaid reality show. When a casting director can’t get an orangutan for a part, they call Randy Quaid, and they have to use a special summoning horn to do it because Randy Quaid eats anything that rings. Randy Quaid once farted from April of 1991 to November of 1993. The point is, if he can stop your space invasion, you are f***ed. Randy Quaid thinks anything with more than three letters is a suppository.

Cracked.com is a fountain of entertainment, Maxim is a crappy titty magazine about binge drinking and sexual objectification of women. Maybe cracked's toplist concept is a bit dated by now, but it's still funny.

The Maxim response had all the wit and cleverness of the kid on the playground that tries to insult people by going "This is what you do! Durp! Durp! Duuuuuuuuh!!!"

Cracked.com is a fountain of entertainment, Maxim is a crappy titty magazine about binge drinking and sexual objectification of women. Maybe cracked's toplist concept is a bit dated by now, but it's still funny. And one of the saddest parts is, in the age of the Internet, PG, fully clothed "titty magazines" are about as necessary and useful as a Betamax player. Actually, the Betamax player actually HAS a function and a use. So MAXIM fails there too. Unfunny comedy....check. Hack writers who's stories don't have HALF the "wow" factor of a typical CRACKED list....check. Fully clothed celebrities, chicks in "lingerie", or chicks in bikinis,whose pictures are about as racy as the Sears catalog....check. A magazine not worth it's cover price in an age where better, funnier, and sexier stuff is available on the internet for FREE....check. MAXIM, you pass the FAIL test. You make take your place in the dustbin of irrelevance.

not to mention I could always buy a playboy and read their well written articles and see somewhat naked women... ok if they're still women after all the airbrushing.

I mean, you could see hotter, more naked chicks on the Net, but Playboy still has some cool reads, at least. MAXIM fails even that. Or at least fails to do it as well as the site they're making fun of. CRACKED manages to be educational, informative, and FUNNY in most of their articles. Heck, that 7 BADASS LAST STANDS article I posted a few days back was better than ANYTHING I can remember reading in MAXIM.

Cracked does not smell like a LI Douchbag when you pick it up thanks to all the Axe deodorant ads in it. And I say this as a reformed guy who used to buy Maxim and had a free subscription to Stuff. Maxim...Tits or GTFO.

Check out wikipedia for the whole story, but a revmped Cracked stopped publication a couple years ago and is online only now.

Cracked earns extra points for the horrifically gross and yet screamingly funny 'CSI: Magic Kingdom' and the Mickey Reboot article by Dan O'Brien.

That happened to my fiancee. The magazine she was getting was canceled, and instead of refunding her money they gave her Maxim. She wasn't pleased at all.

That was quite pathetic, Maxim. You're good at pictures of semi-naked women, but not parody and comedy. Leave the comedy to Cracked.

I like Maxim. One of the only places where you used to get celebrity women posing while wearing almost nothing.
Cracked, eh... was never into it when it was a magazine, and some of the articles are funny now... but neither of the two is something I look for.
