The Only Film Genre That Gets You To Root For The Bad Guy - After Hours

My biggest problem with romcoms is that a lot of them have a subplot where one of the leads has a S O that they cheat on.

[@marccolten9801]

Only the woman. She always has a decent guy she inevitably dumps for her "true love". The guy almost never has a girl friend unless she is dead, gone or a complete bitch. If the guy dumped a nice girlfriend there'd be hell to pay.

[@Ceares]

@@marccolten9801 Yeah, I'm thinking you don't watch a lot of romcoms. The guy has also has the dull/boring girl or the silly/bimbo who clearly isn't up to the heroine's standards. My Best Friend's Wedding was the best subversion/aversion of this

[@TekDeviL]

​@@Aplex21That's not what happened to Cracked. The company went public (entered the stock market) and everyone that was making a decent paycheck was fired to make the website more profitable. This of course destroyed the website because all the talent was fired and they slowly faded into obscurity. They are currently trying to make a comeback but only a few of the original people are involved so I have mixed feelings at best. In the future please don't answer questions you don't know the answer to, that is how misinformation is spread.

[@violap9278]

I would say there is one "romcom" that isn't this: My Big Fat Greek Wedding. it's literally a movie about a woman who just kind of wants to live her own life, who lives with her, sort of, over baring family (and they want her to marry someone specifically Greek) and she decides to kind of just, be her own person. And, she does that. Not necessarily with the total endorsement of all of her family, but they support her, mostly. Then, she meets a guy who isn't Greek and she falls in love with him. Yes, she lies about dating him, but, she's aware that her family wouldn't approve, despite the fact that she's 30. But, when everyone realizes that they are in love, they all just accept it and the ending is still happy, and no one has gotten jilted to is upset or had to go through the emotional fighting that most romcoms go through.

[@JimmySteller]

All of that makes me feel that it doesn’t count as a romcom. Not much is at stake in the film and frankly, much as I enjoyed watching the film, it’s not that funny at all. It’s more of an indie slice-of-life film, the kind that Edward Burns would make.

[@darlalathan6143]

Greek Americans find that it stereotypes them as dysfunctional families.

[@violap9278]

@@darlalathan6143 to be fair, I feel like any family that lives in America is slightly of not completely dysfunctional, so, like, they made a real American film.

[@jackdavids2723]

I can ruin that movie for you, the actress who plays the protagonist is the writer of that movie and she didn’t just write herself as the Cinderella kind of fairytale princess but also she wrote in a very handsome man to be her prince charming and gave him her husband’s real life name, and if that’s not enough she made her husband who’s an actor play the role of that Prince Charming’s best friend and forced him to watch first hand his wife kissing a man who is the exact opposite of himself, tall with long flowing hair and a very handsome face. The worst part is, that the whole “my big fat greek wedding” plot is based on what her husband actually did in real life, her husband actually converted to Greek orthodoxy so he could marry her, and he was Jewish (Conversion is much more difficult for jewish people)

[@harrysonofbob]

What makes it work is that the conflict of the movie has basically nothing to do with the relationship, but instead with the family.

I have a theory that Soren, Katy, and Michael are a figment of Daniel's imagination. I don't want to go too far into it, but if you watch the episodes with that in the back of your head, a lot of the weird things the others say in the script start to make a lot more sense.

For example in this episode, the woman looks at Daniel and makes a cross because she sees him talking to himself.

The Wedding Singer! Adam Sandler plays a nice guy with a terrible woman who cheats on him. Drew Barrymore is about to marry a douchebag and they both leave their horrible partners to be with each other. There! A romantic comedy about nice people finding love.

[@Soymaid]

"All I Wanna Do Is Grow Old With You" (instant tears)

[@jdprettynails]

My boyfriend sang that to me on our anniversary.....oh the feels!

[@morganyoung3557]

Wedding Singer is probably one of the few romantic comedies that doesn't leave me horrified at the main couple. They are both two genuinely nice people that find each other after having to spend time with horrible people, one even actually leaves the person she was going to marry on the alter on the wedding day, the person should be able to figure out that they don't want to be with that person before the day of the wedding when everything is paid for and it just embarrasses the person that was dumped. That was one of the reasons why I couldn't get behind Mary Jane and Peter in the Tobey Maguire version of Spider-Man. Mary Jane was about to marry a boring but nice guy whose family was paying for the entire wedding, but dumps him at the last minute for Peter. I mean it is shown that she was hesitant about marrying the guy and really wanted Peter. She could have any chance before the wedding day.

[@jdprettynails]

So true! Movies use that plot device way too often. If you're having serious doubts about your relationship, you need to actually say something before hand. Also, it's always the brides who run away and leave the guy at the altar. Way to make men hate women even more, Hollywood.

[@brettpgh3312]

*slips into After Hours mode* But they aren't nice people finding love. They're people in committed relationships (Barrymore at least) looking for something else. If she doesn't love the guy she's with she should leave him. She shouldn't just wait around for someone to sing to her on a plane. And as far as Sandler goes he's overstepping his bounds. It's not his place to decide that the man she's with isn't good enough for her so he gets to break up their relationship. Contrary to what romantic comedies teach us you should only be seeking out a relationship if you aren't already in one. If you are either work on that relationship or end it. Don't immediately move on to the first guy who holds a boom box over his head. *I felt Katie working through me on that one, any of you guys feel that?*

It doesn't matter that Hitch is emotionally stunted and doesn't himself believe in what he's selling! That only makes him a fraud and a con man! And . . . and . . . okay, he's a con man, but his stuff . . . I mean, can you really be a fraud if your stuff works, even if you don't believe in . . . it . . . Gaul dammit . . .

[@timothycarney9652]

I will say that Hitch is actually a rom com where the people aren't villians, Hitch does believe in what he sells, he sells opurtunity, he sets people up and gives them advice to get them through dates, specifically with romance and not just sex in mind, because dating can be terrifying and go wrong, but getting your foot in the door can get you started Hitch is about an expert that is slightly disillusioned about his field, getting involved himself and, after hiccups, finding happiness and learning more about said field of expertise. Hitch is about a man trying to control relationships, not because he is evil, but because they are hard, and fail often, so he tries to help people start meaningful ones, or at least improve their odds, and in the course of teh film his own aibility to mangage a relationship is challenged, and he is forced to confront his own flaws and be more honest, not because his attempts to help people were wrong, but because life, and relationships aren't so simple and sometimes you need to take a chance to have any chance. The woman (cant remember character, I think she was played by Rachel Dawson?) is worse but not unbeleivable, she takes a bunch of Hitch's gestures badly, because of mistakes on his part, and after he appologizes she respects the spirit they were given in, but her attempt to ruin Hitch (before she knew he was the same as the guy she was dating) was because a friend blamed him for a manipulative boyfriend (when If I remember correctly the man was not coached by hitch ever, and only mentioned him as "thanks Hitch" in the girlfriends hearing, the girlfriend (or Dawson) latched on to this but it was probably sarcastic, refering to how he either didn't need hitch to get that far or upset that he didn't get the coaching to get farther, any info he got from hitch was likely freely available advice from whatever advertising he had, rather than anything like advice from the man himself)... IN any case ?Dawson? sets out to ruiin Hitch instead of suppporting her friend or looking into the manipulative jerk who used her, turining a op ed piece of journalism into a vandetta and potential slander campain, only stopped because Hitch confronted her If there was anything wrong with Hitch it was that it focused too much on the idea of men as the instigators and women as the recievers in a relationship. It puts all the pressure on men for a relationship to start at all, and makes women passive and helpless when the "wrong" kind of guy succeeds. Relationships need give and take Hitch shouldn't have felt that grand gestures were teh only way to "win" Dawson's attention, the film shows he was wrong, but only because those gestures weren't "honest" but his almost getting run over to see her was fine, as he gave his "hope you can fly speech". It flies because it is a romcom and because Hitch still has the tendency to go overboard but what really grinds my gears is that Dawson never apologizes, or aknowolges her faults at any point, including planing on ruining a man on the words of a jerk that just dumped her friend after manipulating her so he could sleep with her, and if it weren't for Hitch's tendency for grand gestures for them to have a big talk she might of gon on to permanently ruin him, and far more relationships than the one that hitch managed to help by actually talkin to the woman involved

Think about it, both Robbie and Julia are genuinely good people. Julia is basically just the sweetest thing in the world, and Robbie gives freaking piano lessons to old ladies for literal meatballs. Meanwhile, Glen is a cheating, emotionally neglectful, sexist sociopath who is only using Julia as a status symbol, and Linda is a gold-digging, manipulative bitch. The entire conflicts of the movie revolve around Robbie agonizing over whether or not to ruin a presumably happy relationship with the news that Glen is a dirtbag, or if he's just jealous because of his own feelings for Julia, and Julia coming to terms with the fact that Glen treats her like shit and she isn't happy with him. Even the _one_ time one of our protagonists is a jerk, he _immediately_ recognizes his fault in the issue and tries to fix things. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Adam Sandler made the perfect rom-com.

I keep wanting Michael to say "Malpractice makes perfect" every time I watch this video. It's just right there!

[@TKZells16]

Something borrowed has to be the most horrifying of romcoms. It’s literally about a woman having an affair with her best friend’s fiancée, and they to convince us that they were meant to be just because she didn’t tell her friend that she liked the guy and he was too chicken shit to break up with her. All the while the movie makes the best friend look like a stereotypical shallow woman who drinks a lot and sleeps around to justify that the mousy main character is the hero of the story when really she’s a homewrecker. The only person who calls them out on all this is John Krazinkski, and the poor guy gets hit in the nose for it.

[@willemverheij3412]

In most rom-coms the entire romance seems to be based on a lie. And in the third act its revealed, the other person freaks out and takes them back anyways. I'd like to see one where they actually reject the liar, like a normal person would do.

[@JimmySteller]

A lie is one thing. What really irks me is when a rom-com romance is based around something deeply unethical, like in "The Proposal" where Sandra Bullock is a boss forces her assistant to act as her fiancé so she doesn't get deported, threatening to ruin the assistant's career if he doesn't play along. Or that one where Sandra Bullock pretends to be the fiancée of a man with whom she's never interacted before, only to fall for his brother instead while the first guy is in a coma. Good lord, Sandra Bullock is worse than Julia Roberts when it comes to her rom-com characters...

[@1958Shemp]

THANK YOU for blowing the lid off a multi-million dollar racket: The Rom-Com~! (No, seriously.)

[@robinvik1]

After Hours predicted YOU two years before it came out.

[@angel007sherm]

I just watched all of the available After Hours videos. I probably can't watch movies or tv the same way again. Thanks you guys...

[@williamjones3480]

Did this episode start the trend of calling Benefal Camberpatch different names?

[@legoinsomniac]

Also also, what about when Harry met Sally? That's a pretty good Rom Com, can't recall anyone being a terrible person in it too much.

[@cobratom]

Didn't actually watch the video huh?

[@LMNtaLXicon]

+Brandon Binczak Did you? The Cracked Team didn't mention "When Harro Met Salma" this time around.

[@1110-s1t]

i love that movie soo much

[@cobratom]

Shit my bad, he said You've Got Mail. Which to be fair is pretty much the same movie.

[@diellojeferson]

Well, the guys and gals can never be friends is kinda jerky. But the plot is pretty harmless.

[@MavaPalava]

I would like to see a Gilmore Girls after hours on how they really have a bad relationship in which Rory has way to much power over Lorelai ^^

[@TheBroman59]

The Holiday! It’s a double Rom-com where none of the primary characters are villains...

[@ItsJustAisling]

I miss these SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. Please bring back the Cracked After Hours. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAEE PLEAEE PL3AE... Oh, I typod that last one. You get the beg.

[@stonekidman2306]

I love these after hours idk how much work/research you must do--assuming it's a ton--but they're so cute and well rehearsed/edited. They are so great

[@le-jaunemorgan6563]

I was kind of hoping that they would talk about Mr and Mrs Smith.

[@TheMochaThunder]

Is the waitress in the background Star from Sourcefed Nerd?

[@StarlineHodge]

Yah.

[@TheMochaThunder]

Cool

[@suprflash24]

holy shit.. Right before watching this video i was just looking at your work and following you on the socials. Weirdest coincidence.

[@terraventusaqua123]

Can I have your number?!

[@TheMochaThunder]

Robert Jay Dude,don't be creepy.

[@DantheGif]

The look of general delight on Soren's face when jizzum is said... Priceless.

[@heatherstephenson3559]

I like the 'that's not kooky fun, that's evil' line and it's quite an effective one for getting across that you don't condone or feel good about a character's actions, even if you like the character and know it's exaggerated and/or for comedic reasons. (eg some of Amy's cruel heist tricks in Holt spying on people for the heist in B99 although the spying was more heist-like and less targeted/cruel in a sense than the therapist and coma tricks.)

[@jeffro7856]

2024 here. Miss this crew. Small Beans isn't the same.

[@MrRvhhh]

Soren eventually won that bet.

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

The best thing on Cracked

[@astrasmith8563]

This is one of the best After Hours in ages! Carmen is killing it with the writing -and y'know just killing it in general. It's so great seeing them all be nice to Daniel for once. Gizzum!

[@roninanwar]

This maybe the best best one you guys have ever done.

[@meteorrejector]

"dermatology" iconic

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

I haven't watched or even heard of 70 percent of these

[@TigerWolf111]

I haven't heard of 100% of these. ^-^

[@sewerface]

clap. clap. clap. clap.

[@MalcolmToll]

I've seen them all. sigh… I do love 'You've Got Mail'.

[@Poncho5rc]

You don't know movies, probably...

[@Lucy-ng7cw]

Not Jack Douglass they are all from like a decade ago at least

[@theplaylab9336]

I miss this crew.

[@marqc.9904]

I found this to be one of the funniest episodes they've done in a while. Still one of my favorite web minisode series to watch after all these years.

[@rmc3375]

Bring this back. It's what we need right now

[@galaxyotter6427]

Notting Hill. A very good rom com where no one is a physcopatg

[@ackbarfan5556]

Yeah, but that's from the UK and written by the guy who did Blackadder, more often they tend to stick to stuff from the States.

[@mikehenderson7907]

There's a huge power imbalance in that movie though. She's a rich, powerful, famous film star, and he's just a nobody who owns half a niche bookshop.

[@leafruns7672]

"The Wedding Singer" is the only RomCom I liked since I started paying attention to details. Because: 1. The guy the girl was with originally was a bad man from the beginning. Not just when we needed to be ok with him getting jilted. And 2. The girl was an absolute doormat, as opposed to some other movies that try to hide that fact it was a part of her character and she came to terms with how miserable the relationship (with original guy) would make her irregardless of another guy waiting for her. I think she still needed the other guy there to leave the relationship though.

[@tomasartistic1257]

GREAT ONE!!!! Actually better than ever 😍

[@perrydowd9285]

OMG! I just realised The Graduate fits this genre perfectly.🤔

[@TheAlejandra415]

Is that Starline??!!! From SourceFed????

[@DawnViolet]

Yeah, she's in a lot of these!

[@TheAlejandra415]

+DawnViolet I hadn't noticed! I love her!!!! And she's so talented and so beautiful

[@michaelswaim]

She also draws a lot of the artwork in the show!

[@TheAlejandra415]

+Michael Swaim she's just the coolest

[@Marc83Aus]

I like artwork!

[@AzaleaJane]

RIP After Hours. Pour a beer out. Also what does "passable" mean applied to a guy in this context? Rather befuddled by that one.

[@darlalathan6143]

I thought it meant a transguy with a beard and top surgery, lol!

[@iambicpentakill971]

It means decent looking, not ugly or pretty.

[@darlalathan6143]

It makes more sense if you say it about trans guys. Then, it means "He looks like a cisgender man, with clothes on."

[@TheMegaAhaaaa]

Two things: I love Katie's hair! I want to cut mine just like that. Also, Dan is precious, adorable and dorky and I want to marry him.

[@jakestatefarm3477]

Aww thanks guys that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, love them rom- coms.

[@Thea1d2r3i4a5n6]

You guys are too funny, I always crack up every time I watch these things

[@FromRussiaWithLuv007]

what about sleepless in Seattle? Joe vs. the Volcano?

[@charliepotatoes001]

Awesome Trilogy with You've got mail.

[@FromRussiaWithLuv007]

+Robert Davidson while You've Got Mail is about not that great people.... I'm not really seeing how the people in SiS or JvV are villainous.

[@Paris1Crystllyn2]

Pretty Woman?

[@WesMontrose]

Kind of a big blindspot that they mentioned the incredibly forgettable You've Got Mail while omitting the classic it was inspired by with Sleepless in Seattle.

[@charliepotatoes001]

AegonSnow They aren't. I was just remarking on how the three films make a great trilogy about soul mates.

[@Vaineguardio]

Holy shit! Swaim is bigger than a fucking house! The hell happened?!
