After Hours - Why Movies Want Us To Torture Adults

[@GamesFromSpace]

Soren is going to have to leave extra jewels for the staff tonight.

[@TheKristyMack]

What episode was that again?

[@TheKristyMack]

@Timey Wimey Omg champion! thank you so much, I've been racking my brain for weeks trying to think of the episode.

Dude... Imagine being a waitress and having someone legitimately leave you a fist full of shiny rocks for a tip!!😂😂

[@Placker8102]

@@danelynch7171 right...I'd both be excited and confused. I wouldn't know how to cash in jewels. Besides a pawn shop and even then I'm 100% sure I'd get hella ripped off that way

I wish Swaim would have flicked a spoonful of imaginary fluff at Daniel & then it would show up as real on Daniel's face...

[@FishCakeFlims]

Lainey Bug i looked through the comments for this and i totally agree!! I was sure they were setting it up that Michael would throw some neon fluff in Dans face. But they failed. For shame cracked after hours, for shame...

They definitely missed an opportunity!

I hope that waitress got a big tip at the end. Poor woman.

[@MoonShadowWolfe]

She got jewels.

[@owinoakhart6725]

If real, yes. More likely there was a soft floor mat that caught the glasses and the sound was added in post. Cool name BTW.

More like best kitchen staff ever. The waitress just had one table to take of since it's...after hours.

[@LifeAsZack]

The waitress was on SourceFed right? Not like a host, but I've seen her on the behind the scenes stuff.

[@celiabobelia96]

the waitress is played by Starline Hodge - she has a youtube channel where she posts weekly vlogs about her life as an animator :) So cool that she got to be on After Hours!!

Anybody else think of codename kids next door?

[@carlrood4457]

Yes

[@Justmyhandle]

To be fair, in that universe, it was justified since adulthood was revealed as a disease in the finale infecting several planets where kids rule. Nigel joined the intergalactic Kids Next Door to help end that. *#Nerd* 😉

[@Markblood889]

For my drop top minivan wtf!

[@drollfurball2863]

YES! But that could be interpreted as the world through a child's eyes. I mean they make weapons out of common items, they've got a HUGE treehouse, and the villains are all crazy adult-lesson-things.

Cleaning up that invisable feast must be a nightmare

[@frankm.2850]

In the original Peter Pan, Tinker Bell almost straight up murders Wendy on sight. Disney has a (bad) habit of neutering stories.

[@JimmySteller]

Tinker Bell still does that in the movie, though. Hell, the mermaids admit to trying to drown Wendy, and when Wendy tries to defend herself, Peter physically and verbally punishes her before going to save another woman who loves him and ignoring Wendy. Wow… it took me this long to realise just how messed up the story of Peter Pan is when it comes to 100% of the female characters.

[@Altorin]

"released 4 seconds ago" Damn universe

[@michaelsalazar5117]

Ok now do one on how children's cartoons today are teaching kids that adults are completely incompetent. Have you seen an educational kids show where the parents or adults in general roles of authority who aren't fumbling idiots who are screwing up and need to be saved by children? Seriously if I was a child growing up watching these things I would have the hardest time trusting or relying on adults for help with anything. To a degree I get it and agree that parents don't have all the right answers or make all the right decisions all the time. And the old ways of the pre 90's where kids were taught that adults decisions are absolute and unquestionable actually put children into harms way more than people admit. There has to be a middle ground on this that teaches kids that parents don't always know what's best but they have their reasons and they will be there for them when shit gets bad and they aren't on their own.

[@rubiesncreme]

Uh, I thought a big part of "Hook" was that, viewed from an adult perspective, all the things you thought were so scary as a child--for instance, *being* an adult--aren't really as bad, and you just need to face it down. Hence the over-the-top Hook performance: he's not so menacing now, he's just kind of pathetic and annoying.

[@Monkeyman3000]

Sometimes I wish they made a movie or tv show where they showed it was smart to actually listen to our parents. I mean our parents for the most part understand you on a deeper level, you could probably learn at least something from them about life. But most movies glorify the idea that kids are always smarter than their parents. Is this just me?

[@sparco956]

Everybody Hates Chris. He receives lessons from his parents all the time and most times when he does something he thinks is smart, he fails. There you go.

[@Monkeyman3000]

@@sparco956 I guess I should rephrase, because EHC is a good example of what I wrote 5 years ago, but I think I meant more of rebelling teenager story. EHC is more of moral sitcom so its not exactly what I was looking for.

[@calleythompson2781]

For me that's To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus doesn't do a lot of direct parenting on screen but is every scene it's clear that he's a wise adult and the children are children. The Disney Pinocchio is sort of that except Pinocchio's father isn't in the film that much. The parents in the incredibles are like that, adults trying and failing to keep the kids out of trouble but always supportive. In Cheaper by the Dozen the kids are a little neglected because the parents are pulled in so many directions, but on the whole they're good parents who try to keep their kids safe and respectful by giving reasonable rules and things are better when the kids listen. Edward Scissorhands has very very supportive foster(?) parents who take him in and keep him safe. There's a few if you look.

[@Jeremy-ql1or]

The chick in Blank Check wasn't a sexual predator. The kid was going after her but she kept rejecting him.

[@sdm47]

She kissed him at the end of the movie And even implied that they would be able to date later on in his life

[@TheZAPcon]

Please do this series forever. Also, there should really be an After Hours movie in the works at this point. You guys all work great on screen together and each one of you is hilarious. Besides Sam Hyde and MDE, this is the only thing on youtube I truly look forward to.

[@ProfossorFedor]

Yeah, but there - and in most of child related horror movies - they say it flat out, that they want to kill all adults. Here it's... *whispers* subversive.

Born in the 80's, grew up in the 90's. Right on the nose! Definitely cultivated rebellious behavior and tendencies.

[@leonnekirkland7719]

Also, whenever a kid(or teen) in these movies was in any way responsible they were the character that "needed fixing"

[@otarthemad1782]

I used to sit through the ads on cracked videos, in a show of support. Now that the video department has been dropped I skip all the ads, as there is no one at cracked.com that deserves any support.

[@Keith_Petersen_Actor]

I have never laughed harder than when Katie smashed that glass again! I can't breathe it was so fucking funny

[@CyclopsWasRight616]

I was all on-board for this rant until near the end, when they imply Ducktails and Talespin didn't have any adults in them. I mean, yes, Muppet Babies only had Nanny, but Nanny kept the kids going in the right direction. But, it would be like saying "You know what I like about Gargoyles ? How it didn't have anyone from Star Trek doing the voices." Because that line would do NOTHING but annoy the people you're trying to cater to. I'm not going to take time to point out who is and isn't an adult in the Disney Afternoon cartoons, because if you're sitting through this, you probably know that. I'm just saying, why even bring it up ?

[@AwesomeIAm15]

4:40 "It's 2017! I'm woke." That line and Katie's wtf face had me laughing so long

[@batmanlaughed800]

Oh Soran, that nervous laugh of yours will never cease to amuse me. Cartoon Katie smashing a glass was a nice touch.

Written by Carmen Angelica. Good job Carmen

[@MysteicVoltronus]

IT has always bothered me when Dan lists a bunch of cartoons after Katie said we didn't have visible parents because the first two had some of the best cartoon parents ever. Darkwing Duck is probably one of the best cartoon parents of all time.

[@charlestownsend9280]

I never "grow up" being an adult just looks to boring and stressful, the best way to live is somewhat in the middle, to be responsible when you absolutely need to and the rest of the time just be a big kid and relax, enjoy life and have some fun.

[@frankm.2850]

The love subplot in Blank Check used to bore the crap out of me as a kid. Now its just fucking creepy and out of place. Oh, also ten bucks says it would never have been included if the kid was a girl.

[@agentwashingtub9167]

So Soren is a god-like Prince of an island, Dan is nearly incapable of functioning in the adult world, Katie kidnaps(possibly) and tortures adults and Michael is, well... Michael. Is that right?

[@virginiar7692]

Michael is a manchild sexual deviant... ...with a heart of a gold.

[@supersizesenpai]

The Wet Bandits weren't exactly responsible adults. Also Kevin makes friends with two adults and they're not crazy. Also isnt the pt of that movie overall to say that its fun to be irresponsible sometimes but at the end of the day you still need your parents. Hey maybe the pt of all these isnt that adulthood sucks, but that adulthood doesnt mean that you have all your shit together and thats normal and ok

[@DevlinBlake]

@@danielgehring7437 Not sure Gummi bears have parents in the traditional sense. They kind of look like they're raised communally, like gargoyles. And Tummi was a very young adult. Maybe early twenties or late teens I guess. Gusto, who came later, I'm guessing is mid 20's. (Yes, I know he's technically older, but since I'm not sure how long a gummi live, I think he's equivalent.)

[@timothymcneil4383]

Going to call out the mistake of Darkwing Duck lacking parents. Kind of a big part of the show is the Drake adopts Gosalyn and the Muddlefoots being traditional parents.

[@michaeliv284]

Plus we don't know the status of the parents of Huey Dewey and Luey's parents. Were they bad parents, were they killed, are they in a situation where they otherwise can't be with their sons? For all we know, Della Duck just left the boys with Donald because she was on the run from Negaduck or something

[@elr5181]

Also it wasn't mentioned in the video but Goof Troop/A Goofy Movie did have parents (mostly) and dealt with parent-child issues in a more down to earth way

[@rexappleby4981]

What we were all thinking 1:12 Katie: *throws glass on the ground* "Another!"

[@Cheeseanonioncrisps]

The thing people don't understand when they talk about how 'being an adult sucks' is that, yes it does, but it doesn't suck more than any other stage in your life. There's this assumption that the older you are the worse life gets- but by that logic being a toddler would be the best stage of all and being a toddler was terrible. Sure, you didn't have to cope with jobs, relationships, responsibilities or anything like that- but your pain threshold was so low that just tripping over could make you starts crying out in pain and a simple trip to the shops was so stressful that you'd often end up having a complete emotional meltdown, screaming and rolling around on the floor. When responsibility and work get you down, just thank God you've finally moved past the stage of your life where people could literally trip over you.

[@WickedDealer]

Camp Nowhere was the best, it totally deserved a sequel or TV time period reboot.
