After Hours Ruins Horror Compilation

[@ericwills932]

After Hours was one of the bright shining jewels of the Internet, it’s passing lessens us all

[@thembill8246]

I just want the four of the main cast of this to have a reunion episode of One of the game shows on dropout. Um, Actually, Game Changer, Make Some Noise, any of them. But it means to be all four of them to be perfect

I found it right before it ended, enjoyed all the old ones but real bummer.

[@denelian116]

Actual trufax!

[@Vintage_geek]

@ericwills932 I put the initial run of After Hours right up there with the initial Plinkett reviews of the Star Wars prequels by Red Letter Media in terms of how much they changed the discourse around pop culture. In different ways, they showed people that you can have different conversations on many levels about the pop culture artifacts we know and love or hate... or love to hate or hate to love... 😀

[@lukecy8187]

The model change that drove these people away was the worst decision Cracked as a company ever made.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Yeah these were a ton of fun

[@thembill8246]

A lot of that was not their choice. They got very suddenly mass-fired by the parent company. This is their rebuilding phase.

[@joeyjosephson5524]

By model change do you mean being bought by a larger company that fired almost all the writers to save money and now uses a skeleton staff to repost other better written articles and old better cracked videos?

[@michaelb.5845]

Wasn't the fault of the people making the vids

[@AldrickExGladius]

@@joeyjosephson5524 I think that what they meant... I mean what else could they have meant?

[@thomaspantone2250]

I miss After Hours. It was one of those little surprises on the KZbin that made every month easier to get through. If we weren't in the bad timeline maybe it would still be going in some form. Perhaps soem day when we shift back to a good timeline it will return again.

[@BadgerOff32]

At first I was like "OH MY GOD THEY'RE BACK! THEY MADE A NEW AFTER HOURS EPISODE!!!" Then I realized it's just a compilation video. Don't do me like that, Cracked! After Hours was so good though

[@mawe86ify]

Same! 💔 Still, it's fun to reminisce.

[@suicidesamuraiz]

It was still good to see them all back at that table (or tables, I should say).

[@Beeyo176]

They have made at least one new After Hours, I think maybe it was Pamdemic Era

[@NicCageFan]

Awwwwww, look at Cracked trying to remind us of when it was still good.

[@dahlinthefiend]

It was so good. Fuck corporate America for destroying everything beautiful.

[@viper0111]

Gimme a minute I'm gonna go binge all the After Hours now

[@AldrickExGladius]

I do that about once every 6 months lol

[@denelian116]

​@AldrickExGladius ditto!

[@Timboman2000]

Now you just need to actually hire them all back and make some more After Hours, then the cycle will be complete.

[@m1a2r3q4u5i6s7]

that would be a xmas miracle

[@abdullanaser3859]

Exactly

[@dudere]

I am pretty sure that can't happen as one of them is John Oliver's head writer.

[@thembill8246]

Yeah Dan O'Brien has bigger priorities right now, but it would be nice to see him do a little bit of a reunion. I'm proud of our little Deany O'Beany

[@jackdoyle7453]

[@jesserothhammer7378]

He said in their reunion thing on Small Beans that it was his least favorite one because of how much he hated the blue paint.

[@workhorsetraildesign]

After Hours is still the best thing on KZbin.

After hours was one of the best shows ever, they should've been (or maybe should still be) made into a legit series. Such good writing, chemistry between them and each character brought something special to every episode.

[@blaineleavitt3600]

Michael Swaim is a national treasure.

[@rcbender823]

Cracked desperately tries to cling to the success it had when it paid good people to make quality content, and trots the corpse out like a zombie to harvest new views.

[@KaiserHitoshi]

I hope Soren is having a good day today.

[@KukulcanCan]

He does a weekly podcast with Daniel you can watch on KZbin. It's called Quick Question with Soren and Daniel. Daniel's getting married soon and Soren is standing in the wedding. They refer to each other as two best friends and comedy writers. Soren writes for American Dad and Daniel for Last Week Tonight.

[@nitrousoxide69]

A new After Hours upload? In this economy? Oh well, its still great to watch the old gang discussing stuff about things

[@hannahbaldwin7248]

12:58 is still one of my favorite moments in the whole series Michael: "Or a secret horse you can have!" Soren: >retracts finger of agreement< "...a what??"

[@anarchistcop8239]

Dear Cracked and its parent company: repackaging what you were able to steal from actual creators as your own doesn’t work as nostalgia bait. You know what you did, and so do a lot us. This is gross.

[@KeithElliott-zd8cx]

Given michael might've set this up himself, seems sort of funny you're basically going 'fuck you for working with them again after what happened with nothing new'
