Really funny. I liked the Pokemon one the best.

[Luzmagica]

LOL...a new generation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Acuatic Turtles!!! ...

[ToTheNines]

I think you missed the point Luz lol.

My favorites were CatDog and Inspector Gadget, Peanuts was good too.

[Venom]

Who'll sadly never learn the art of ninjitsu.

Looks like tonight Saki dines on turtle soup, never knowing they'll have the last laugh when he bleeds from his eyes and poops out his spleen.

Ups....then ...the point ... isnot a positive view??:-??...D´oh!! ...I dont like real world...:tcry::dead::embarass:

That is pretty funny! Number 25 made me do a double take [did he really just imply? No... Yes, yes, he did:o]. Also #10 is just brilliant (the Iran Contra affair? hehe).

But I'm guessing most of those pictures are done by college students rather than 5-year-olds. There looks to be some digital touch-ups. And there is the fact that kids that age probably wouldn't be drawing about historical events that they wouldn't be introduced to until middle school.

EDIT: My bad, I didn't even notice the disclaimer:
With this in mind, we asked you to depict some of history's most significant events, as they would be drawn by a five year-old child.

"7 Shockingly Dark Origins of Lovable Children's Characters"

http://www.cracked.com/article_18906_7-shockingly-dark-origins-lovable-childrens-characters.html


Contains an amusing--if somewhat off-the-mark--introduction to the Turtles' original incarnation for the uninitiated (although they overstate the violence a bit...to the point where the early Mirage books damn near come off like talking animal torture porn!)

[Jephael]

Dude, these links are friggin' hilarious!!!

[Koi]

Poor Betty Boop.

Betcha never thought about it this way when you were eight!

I love cracked. That was great!

[PizzaPower]

lol thats a pretty nice find!

[FearlessLeader]

The TMNT/ Sex in the City comparison was really funny!

Thanks for posting this! I need to send it to all my friends now!

[Jester]

There are quite a few articles:

I'd have posted specific articles....but last time I tried, it glitched out when I hit submit.

I find virtually everything on Cracked ridiculously horrible. Finding a shred of humor on that site is like trying to locate a grain of salt on the beach.

Kudos to anyone who managed to win more than a couple of these games (alas, just TMNT and Mega Man for me)


http://www.cracked.com/article_15696_the-10-most-irritatingly-impossible-old-school-video-games.html

Obviously #9 is the main attraction.

Obviously #9 is the main attraction.

In addition to TMNT & Mega Man, I'm proud to say I can also KO Tyson, destroy Jacquio and the Demon in Ninja Gaiden, and save the world from the alien invasion in Contra. No cheats, just right. I don't own any of the other games on the list, however. Maybe one day...

*bows down*

Tyson ate my children, I couldn't even reach Jaquio (always got torn apart by the Masked Devil...only reason I knew Jaquio came next is because I read the novelization umpteen years ago), and Konami code or no, my Contra guy was the proverbial one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

All things considered, Shredder is quite the pushover in that game (...didn't stop me from standing there like a dolt until he de-mutated me the first time around), but actually reaching him!? Pretty sure my entire Ph.D. level profane vocabulary stems from that very ordeal!

As for Battletoads...I'm pretty sure that Nintendo of America was a clandestine arm of the Department of Defense, and that the racing level was actually some kind of Last Starfighter-esque training simulator.

[deadpoolRKO]

pretty neat article.

My favorite was cubone , i never knew that the skull he wore was from his dead mother.

[ABrown]

As a child, I didn't realize how dark the TMNT history actually was. When I first saw the original lighter TMNT cartoon, I wasn't a fan of it. It wasn't until the darker first live movie came out that I became a fan. Only afterwards did I warm up to the original cartoon.

oh my fault man. i searched " orgins " and didn't find anything.

[Donnie]

The author of that article is pretty inaccurate, boring, and judgmental. He assumes nobody picked Leonardo as a kid. How is that at all an accurate or appropriate statement?

[Powder]

It's OK, Cracked is a sh*tty website 100%.

That's because "orgins" isn't a word.

And this isn't even English o.O

It's a humor site. Inaccuracy, unless completely off, is not only expected, but par for the course.

[Spitfire]

No one I knew picked Leo as a kid. Everyone was all about Mikey, and maybe Raph. I was the only Don guy I knew. I never met more diverse people till I started coming here. In random conversations about my clothing, which happen almost once a week, people always say Raph is their favorite turtle. I rarely hear any different and I've never heard Leo.

[Jester]

My wife liked Leo as a kid...and I'm a Raph fan.

Why did we get married? :D

Because you clearly found someone special! Tiffany is a Leo fan too. Watching the OT it's not hard to imagine why most people didn't like Leo. He was the team wet blanket who spent most his time on screen breaking up all the fun. Even Cam Clark stated in an interview that he went from being Mikey to the team buzz kill for 10 years.

[FearlessLeader]

Leonardo has been my favorite since I was seven and watched the OT. I am also kind of a buzzkill though so that's probably why, or him being my role model made me that way :twink:

I was always the only Leo fan I knew growing up, pretty much everyone loved Mikey.

While I respect his opinion it does disappoint me a little that Cam Clark said those things about the character, but whatever I suppose.

At least Mike Sinternikklaas appreciated the character for who he was.

[Bauer536]

I did not like Cracked and some of the things they said. The only thing I didn’t mind was the video of the turtles being compared to other characters. This is something I like to do all the time, especially since I watch shows like The Big Bang Theory. You can take those four nerds and compare them to the TMNT. Now about the OT, I would say a lot of people didn’t like Leo on that show. But it’s funny, because when I was in high school, I would ask a few classmates who their favorite turtle was. You would not believe the answer: LEONARDO. Something tells me by today, he has become a favorite more than he was before, and it seems that he will become a bigger favorite when we see an honorable but humorous side to the character. Still, I think he had humor from the start. Like I say, we’ll just have to see.
