[@shandeliervillanueva8609]

Exactly what I was thinking... he wouldnt have been with ron until he went to hogwarts, since percy is still in school and he recieved an owl as a present for being a prefect, which is why ron got scabbers

[@billyweed835]

...Which...In retrospect, was probably foreshadowing that Scabbers isn't a normal rat IE "wait, rats don't actually LIVE that long".

[@fleacythesheepgirl]

Even better Ron's brothers Fred and George have the Marauders Map so for years they could see Ron going to sleep every night with a guy named Peter.

[@lucieb6309]

+fleacythesheepgirl Actually, there's an explanation to that "plot hole". The Marauders made sure that the Map could never show them when they were in their disguises. It was a protection for them, as the fact that they could shapeshift was their biggest, most treasure secret. A good proof: when Snape noticed the Map on Lupin's desk, he saw the name of Sirius, because Sirius wasn't a dog anymore. BUT, he didn't see Peter's name at this point. Otherwise, i'm fairly certain he would've react quite differently.

In defense of the Harry Potter one, Ron Weasley understood exactly how creepy it all was as soon as he found out the true nature of his pet rat, and was absolutely horrified. (At least in the book.) None of the others acknowledge how freaky they are.

[@pipercharms7374]

+Lytrigian exactly x

[@Anergyne]

+Lytrigian Still doesn't explain how he can keep a rat for twelve years without thinking it's weird while rats have an average life span of around three.

[@pipercharms7374]

Lynneiah He did think it was weird, he told Harry about it and in the book where Petergrew is revealed and its implied the rats been to checks up and stuff

[@the-chillian]

Piper charms And I vaguely recall it being said that pets in magical households tend to live longer even if they're non-magical animals, but I could be wrong about that.

[@pipercharms7374]

Lytrigian Ron said something about his rat being not normal, living this long in the beginning of the prisinor of askaban I think

[@benlowe1701]

Well, think about it like this: Doc knows that eventually, Marty will travel back in time. He provides inspiration for the experiment, by dragging back up abandoned concepts. By driving it straight at them, the only stable time Loop, is one in which Marty survives, in order to travel back in time and thus, provide the inspiration for the machine. By linking their continued survival to the success of the experiment, Doc actually ensures that the only stable Time Loop, is one in which the Experiment is successful on his first try, ensuring that the experiment is successful. If it fails, then a Paradox ensures, since no one is able to go back in time and provide Doc with the impetus to create the machine in the first place. Its actually pretty genius.

[@zenopath1]

+Haradion Drogon lol that actually makes some degree of sense

[@WardancerHB]

+Haradion Drogon *slow clap*

[@TJForceIX]

+Haradion Drogon But, that's not true. Back to the Future isn't a stable loop. Besides the changes to his family that occur, you can see that even that mall was changed as it became Lone Pine Mall in the second timeline. The Doc Brown at the beginning of the movie clearly is not the one from the end, so he had not met Marty 30 years ago. Marty didn't give Doc Brown the impetus for the Flux Capacitor, he got it banging his head on his sink. It was Marty's knowledge of that previously happening in the 50's that got the Doc to trust him.

[@vyxxer]

+Haradion Drogon The also reinforces the theory that Doc is Marty as that would also create a paradox.

[@matthewpollock9685]

+TJForceIX In addition to that, Doc Brown was obviously surprised that it worked at all. Not just happy, but surprised. I believe that he believed that he was going to fail. Sure, he had that smug "you're gonna see some serious shit" line (prefaced with a very big "IF"), but all of that confidence seems to dissappear when the DeLorean does. I don't see this as "I'm gonna succeed or die trying," I see it more as "I'm a huge failure, if I don't kill myself the Lybian terrorists I swindled surely will, I'm going to make it huge, and I'm dragging this kid with me..." Brilliant really, trying to commit suicide with your time machine. Whether you live or die, you finally did something right.

[@seattlegirl14]

Ron is actually quite talented with magic! Peter Petigrew was Scabbers. In The Sorcerer's Stone(the movie, I think), they tried to turn their animals into water goblets. Ron managed to turn Scabbers into a furry goblet with a tail. Animangui are skilled in Trasfiguration. So Ron was trying to turn a man, who was turned into a rat, into a goblet. No wonder it didn't work! Having done as much as he did, he's done amazingly well!

[@joshuafogg6600]

That's actually a really valid point.

[@spookyskelly13]

Plus the fact that his wand was broken at the time.

[@alexshehan6260]

His wand was broken in Chamber of Secrets.

[@stuffwithsoph8264]

RedCheshire97 It was in Chamber of Secrets, and his wand was also broken.

[@sometimessnarky1642]

I don't think he was working that particular spell on Scabbers. I only remember him trying to turn scabbers yellow on the train ride their first year. Animals for transfiguration were provided by Professor McGonagall as all students didn't have pets and they wouldn't have been the same species.

[@Werewolf_Korra]

very true on both counts, but considering that the Harry Potter series is kind of drawn out and, being honest, not very well written, it might be hard for someone to pick that detail out of the films. as for the other, to put it simply, they never watched the series, probably. again, understandable, given the drop in quality from the film... although they do bring it up in After Hours, but they clearly don't remember much of it, since they say it all takes place in Agrabah, which I know is not true, given the Hercules crossover and the episodes where they visit these weird Viking guys.

[@SpaceJesus2098]

Wait. To build upon your 3rd point. Fred and George had the Marauder's map until they gave it to Harry in Prisoner of Azkaban. Scabbers is marked as 'Peter Pettigrew' on the map. You're telling me that for three years Fred & George saw that their brother was sleeping next to some random guy called Peter and they didn't even think to bring it up or make a joke about it?

[@sometimessnarky1642]

With all the castle to look at on the map... would they be watching their brother sleep? That's creepy itself. Plus why would Peter just hang out in Rons bed all the time. He would be out exploring like all the other animals.

[@Pandalka]

@@sometimessnarky1642 if I were the twins, I'd have occasionally checked up on my little brother just to see if everything was ok. not to mention I would have noticed that there's some weird Peter guy roaming around the school at weird hours and even if he just slept in the same dormitory or accompanied Ron for classes it's strange nobody knows him.

[@Max-rh2ip]

"What else in my life is an old man?!"

[@MamaMOB]

Abu didn't wear pants and a tiny vest wouldn't be to hard to make out of scrap fabric Aladdin found or stole. Just because he's poor doesn't mean he can't sew. We don't know that Cinderella dressed up those mice. Maybe they dressed themselves. We do know they can sew a fabulous dress. She let the birds SHOWER her with water. Not go near her lady bits. Bells town thought she was strange because she was a smart woman who wasn't looking to get married which was all women were good for at the time the movie was set. Couldn't agree more on Avatar but at least he didn't lie to them about what he was. Don't forget Scabbers was Ron's older brothers pet before he was Ron's. So Peter lived through 2 boy's going through puberty as a rat.

[@allpossibleworlds]

The movie explicitly shows her dressing up the mice.

[@MamaMOB]

It's been over 20 years since i've seen it so i probably forgot.

[@allpossibleworlds]

Morgan O'Brien-Bledsoe Yeah, I haven't watched it in a long time either, but for some reason I remember that part. The stepmother puts out mouse traps and Cinderella rescues them, gives them clothes and provides them with food. At the start of the movie there are already a number of mice characters who are her friends, then a newcomer arrives and it shows the process of her taking him from the trap and giving him a hat, shirt and shoes.

[@Fforealzz]

You slice right to the core of it all, in the most flawless and delightful way possible!

[@KestralKuthule]

or Aladdin made Abu's outfit himself. Aladdin is an orphan or as later revealed an abandoned kid. His attitude towards Abu is a clear attempt to prove that despite everything he can become a capable father who is able to clothe, feed and look after his future kids.

[@Xegethra]

+Zippity DoDa Well, he did meet him in the 50's when he time travelled there...twice. I think it's a plothole? Because I'd surely remember a time traveller from 30 years into the future visiting me, showing me proof of a future thunder storm, asking for help to return to the 80's....then when it comes to seeing the event 30 years later.....I'd know and be less surprised. But it could be like that thing where you KNOW something will happen, but because of the scale of it, you are surprised anyway. In the film, he dies...but when the event happens again he lives because he does remember Marty going to the past to warn him. But he should have remembered and not died in the first place as 30 years ago, he was met with him. The story I think is a bit of a mess, but the general theme and idea is that they change the past and history, realise...then go back and put it to how it was..so some things seem like they should be remembered. But it's been a while since I've seen it, so I don't recall exactly the events and their order.

[@bigemugamer]

[@TomBombadil168]

[@bigemugamer]

well... I'm a muggle apparently so yeah

[@BR-jt6ny]

It was addressed, or questioned, at the start of The Prisoner of Azkaban when Ron takes Scabbers to the magical pet shop in Diagon Alley. There are rats for sale there that are implied to have extended lives as they are somehow magical or magically bread, so it's hardly far-fetched that the Weasleys wouldn't have questioned Scabbers' longevity.

[@Arsonolace]

It was, at least in the movie as far as I remember, but I never understood that to be quite honest. We have Dumbledore who's suppose to be over a hundred and ten years old according to J.K. Rowling, and that's not with any help from life restoring items like the Sorcerer's stone, so it can be assumed that wizards and witches just have longer lifespans. It made sense to me that people who live longer would want their pets to live longer, and would either breed them to be such or use magic to help as best they could. Or that being around magic and magical people would rub off on the animal and enhance their longevity.

[@AllAccountNamesTaken]

Missing the old Cracked, rewatching the old videos. Regarding the BTTF DeLorean, it is a time paradox. Doc Brown knew from 1955 that his time machine worked and that he would live at least long enough to send Marty to 1955. Maybe knowing that you were going to live for the next 30 years made him reckless and careless.

The thing about Disney animal relationships is that the animals are clearly sentient. So there's that.

[@mikejohnstonbob935]

They eat fish in Little Mermaid, and shit ton of beef/pork/presumably chicken and other fowls in Ratatouille, Princess and the Frog, and any other movie including witches, sorcerers, etc. While a huge majority of disney dishes are vegetarian/pastries, there quite a large number of obvious carnivores. Sound familiar? yeah, that's life. Animal sentience topic is an on going argument. Similar to disney animals, real animals can appear sentient in every way, but verification is still an ongoing process. tl;dr: disney animals are no different from real ones.

[@unlikelyally5325]

If you had watched the TV series, like I did, you would have known that the only thing Aladdin did was buy Abu a new hat. In the part 1 part 2 episodes "Same old crimes", I think that was the name of the episodes, Aladdin metc Abu when Abu was with 3 traveling proformers. The proformers entertained the audience while Abu picked the audience's pockets. Abu and Aladdin became friends later after the other proformers tried to steal the stone of destiny and were stuck inside of it.

And what about the thing with Peter Pettigrew that Peter immediately upon being revealed, started trying to sell himself on Ron -- "Wasn't I a good pet?" etc. It seems to make him so much more predatory.

[@Maazzzo]

Also, I really love OPCD and Dan O'Brien, but I'm a bit fed up of the 'everything is paedophelia' thing that +Cracked has going. Paedophelia is a really serious thing, but suggesting that relationships with older people -- like Karate Kid or Back to the Future -- somehow has to have inherent paedophelia connotations is just not cool. I know, I know -- it's all for the joke. But it's a joke that's got quite old with Cracked recently.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

+Maddy James Very funny you should mention that. As I am pretty sure that in a recent Cracked podcast they called out that very social issue that any time an adult man is seen with a child everyone assumes its something dastardly like pedophilia or a kidnapping, when it could be something as innocent as a father and his son. But here it is in yet another of their videos in which they play in to that societal stereotype.

[@Maazzzo]

+KeijiMaeda86 Yeah, it's got quite old, they've been pretty bad about it recently, suggesting that basically any time a child has a friend who is older, there has to be some sexual abuse. When I was a kid, my only friend was a retiree older man -- we'd play chess, we'd chat, he was there when no other adult was. I get that they're joking and it's all for the comedy, but they've really just gone a bit too much with it lately. Older people are often really lonely and lots of kids often don't have any adults around as support. It's a really good thing when they can strike up a friendship and help each other out -- and the constant suggestions of paedophelia is really just... unnecessary.

[@mastermarkus5307]

+Maddy James I'm pretty sure the Back to the Future one was about hanging out with people who put you in danger, not that Doc Brown and Marty had any sort of sexual relationship. Also, I kind of get what he's saying with the Karate Kid one, what with Daniel saying that Miyagi is the most important thing in his life, over college. Yes, I get that it could just be because he was an important father figure, but either way, that's unhealthy obsession. ALSO also, that's not paedophilia. Paedophilia is the attraction to pre-pubescent children (with the cut-off point being around 11-13). In both cases it would be ephebophilia - the attraction to people in their late adolescence, which is considerably less harmful than paedophilia (at least in my opinion) and can sometimes be legal.

[@SeaTimeless]

+KeijiMaeda86 To be fair, Cracked isn't a monolithic entity; what one writer thinks is creepy is probably very different from the other. Still, if I found out some high school age boy was hanging out with an old man almost exclusively, I'd assume one of them was trying to get something out of the other.

[@Sirxeko]

+SeaTimeless You mean like Karate lessons? Or a lab assistant? Yeah, I'd assume one of them was trying to get something out of the other too, but I would NOT assume that that something is automatically sexual in nature.

[@PepsiAddict9]

The Back to the Future one put into tears... So hilarious!

[@1sttobylopez]

amazing this video included five movies and somehow turned into how much do I know about Harry Potter pissing contest. rather than mention anything about the pig I'd rather insert an opinion about something other than Harry pothead. in the beginning of Back to the Future Doc Brown was conducting a time experiment that Marty came across at Doc Brown's house unknowingly. while on the phone with dr. brown every clock in the place set off at the same time but they were exactly 25 minutes behind also there was a framed newspaper clipping reading that the Brown mansion had been destroyed in an explosion. without knowing the complete details we are poised to believe that Doc Brown was already experimenting with time so there's monumentally less evidence that he had never tested his theory until the Twin Peaks mall parking lot. Doc Brown was very sure about the pending results of Einstein's fate and merely placed him and Marty in the path for dramatic effect because he would have to have been not just a scientist but a Showman, poetic at heart. how else would he have had Marty's attention for so long? Marty idolized him saw him as a mentor and Doc assumes some responsibility for that. it had been addressed by the principal of the school about Marty hanging out with Doc Brown indicating that they have been doing so for a while. why else would Doc Brown had gone out of his way to create that amp for him that we see in the beginning? that was obviously a use of Doc Brown's scientific genius entirely for Marty's sake. so ultimately the story was about friendship love and responsibilities in summary a best friendship. so Doc Brown who has always been concerned not only for Marty but for Marty's future wouldn't never have put his best friend at risk in what is essentially a controlled experiment and in fact the only time Doc Brown really had any control at all.

[@Xegethra]

Yeah, he would have remembered Marty from 30's years ago too....so he knew it would work. I guess his surprise at the fact that it worked is like when people even when they know something will happen...are still surprised anyway because of the scale of it all.

Doc knows it works because he met Marty in the past, and the letter said so

[@RidleyKraid187]

Theoretically, yes. but here's the thing: In the original timeline, Marty had to go to Twin Pines Mall for the experiment with Doc. After he comes back from 1955, he's at the same mall, now called Lone Pines Mall due to Marty crashing into one of the namesake pines back in 55. This alteration only took place because Marty was there. Since the Mall goes by Twin Pines in the original timeline, this means Marty was never there to crash into the tree. Marty was never there to meet Doc in the original 1955. And going forward, original 1985 Doc never got confirmation of Time Travel from Marty. This wasn't a closed time loop where Marty was always supposed to go to 1955- it was by pure luck and good engineering Doc and Marty didn't die from getting hit by the Delorean, and even then, in the original 1985 timeline, Doc was shot to death and Marty jumped to a completely different timeline and never returned, so they're both gone forever anyways....

[@CrapE_DM]

Either way, the new timeline Doc has reason to believe that the thing works, seeing that there is confirmation that the flux capacitor is a working idea.

[@Okusar]

+RidleyKraid187 There is evidence in the original timeline that Doc already knows it will work. When Marty starts recording the documentary tape Doc introduces himself and states the current date and time. It then cuts to a brief shot of Marty confusedly looking at his watch, implying that the time stated by Doc did not match with what Marty expected, suggesting that Doc may have already been conducting some level of successful tests already, leading to his concept of time being noticeably out of sync with Marty's. Maybe it was just did a small scale test sending his watch ahead an hour, or he may have even already tested it himself and the test with Marty would just be his first time seeing it from the perspective of an observer. Or maybe that brief shot was just included to give the scene a bit more of a mysterious atmosphere, but it was definitely there for a reason.

Daniel O'brian seems like that awkwardly intelligent sidekick who comes up with a world saving plan at the last second. then watches the lead character take credit while quietly planning his revenge.

[@a_mc1569]

I mean, Doc and Marti inspired Rick And Morty So it’s obvious

[@Hotchocolaterabbit]

I love this video regardless of the Scabbers bit but seriously when he started about Ron and Peter I absolutely lost it :') I'm crying a river of mirth

[@the1exnay]

We all knew the scabbers relationship was fucked up. Not really a surprising insight. Ron seems revolted at it.

[@michaelhoffman8850]

Dan's videos are always my favorite, especially OPCD 😆

[@Algrokoz]

Marty was Doc's drug dealer.

[@jamesmcdonnell2455]

Instead of thinking of Mr Miyagi as a lover (which just shows your perversion and sexism), think of it as a relative

[@BilboB]

Thought the video was going to be one long list of Woody Allen movies...

[@optimistthebunny8315]

Daniel, you're a great host. you crack me up.

[@1337rofflecopters]

Doc Brown knew the experiment would work because he had Marty's letter that told him to wear a bullet proof vest. Then again, time is not linear in the movies because the mall is named "Twin Pines Mall" in the first appearance and "Lone Pine Mall" when Marty returns. Plus, the Tannen's are nicer to Marty and his father at the end of the movie. Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey.

[@SR2XO]

+1337rofflecopters also the Doc at the beginning didn't have a bullet proof vest. He seems surprised that it worked to begin with. Even if we remove this, we have an old man who befriends a young teen and has contact with terrorists who have weapons grade plutonium.

[@clowntrooper61]

+1337rofflecopters I want to know how marty got to know Doc brown in the 1st place

[@1337rofflecopters]

+clowntrooper61 There's a comic book published last month that explains that.

[@clowntrooper61]

1337rofflecopters Can you just tell me.

[@1337rofflecopters]

:-( I haven't read it yet.

[@NukkuiskoHyvinVaiPois]

I'd love to see you doing one with the Junglebook. I mean, Baghera promises to take Mowgli to the village, and then the same night leaves him alone just because he didn't want to leave the people who raised him. Then he lets Baloo, who enjoys trashing old human temples, teach the boy to hit people and swallow spiky fruits. And that's just the beginning.

Next do "666 Cracked Video Titles That Are Secretly Terrifying"

These analyses are so much more satisfying than my family's response of "hush, there wouldn't be a story otherwise".

I've watched Avatar at least 6 times, mate.

[@AWedgeofCheeseProductions]

At least 10 times.

[@MrNotAFag]

[@yavaulie2839]

I dont see the appeal

[@PenTheMighty]

As far as Karate Kid 3 goes, college tuition wasn't insanely expensive in the 80's (at least the first half). We're talking around $10,000 for a four year degree from a private college and $3,000 if it's a public/state college. Back in those days, most people could work a part-time job and pay for college. It's not that Daniel-san's gesture was an egregious use of finances, it's that he knew he could make his money back in half-a-year to a year, which for a young guy isn't the end of the world. Also, being an investor in Mr. Miyagi's business means that if successful, Daniel would have potentially made his money back and then some...Because you know, Mr Miyagi and Daniel are very close friends who have helped and learned from each other over a great deal of time. Is it really that shocking to imagine that Daniel believes that Mr. Miyagi's business could be successful enough that he might be able to work for him and make his money back? That he has faith in his dearest friend and mentor? Seriously Cracked, you guys are really homophobic sometimes ;)

[@LeonardGreenpaw]

I love this channel, it takes all happiness out of my life

[@amai_zing]

Re: Karate Kid, to be fair, college in the 80’s was probably like $50 for all four years.... lol

[@Nepafarius]

Him saying animals in the beginning while awkwardly looking at the toy pig was priceless

[@ToliBera]

Aladdin thing: actually Abu had the outfit as a circus performer. it's clarified in the animated series. but he did get him the fez which was part of a larger turban.

[@jerrythegreat7406]

Hey Dan! Even in OG guess who, there were a few characters who were unique in their appearance. One man with a monocle, one man with a green mohawk, one black person(As you've mentioned in the past). If there's only one pizza and/or frog, there's not really a difference because nobody asks you questions that only apply to one person until super late in the game anyway.

[@GigaGanon2]

Welp, I feel compelled to go watch the Guess Who episode again. You win this round Cracked.

[@craigjs]

These videos are great Daniel. :)

[@keiththorpe9571]

Awwww, Doc Brown was just eccentric. Everyone always goes on and on about the attempted murder/suicide scenario. I choose to believe that Doc simply had absolute, unquestioning faith in his machine.

[@sameddington9072]

This is hysterical, but my number one reaction to Dan is always to want to give him a hug.

[@CalLadyQED]

I remember the Guess Who? episode! That was insightful.

[@BigCowProductions]

I really wanna see more of these OPCD videos. They're great!

[@GinoZump]

"what else in my life is an old man? being a wizard is so stressful." I love Dan :)

[@Wawagirl17]

The Aladdin portion at the very beginning had me in stitches and gasping for air. Holy shit, that was funny.
