Cracked TV

Laugh and learn

- J.R. Bookwalter

Once a staple of newsstand humor back in the heyday of print magazines, Cracked magazine hasn’t been published for nearly a decade, but continues to maintain an online presence as a portal for the same brand of biting satire it helped introduce in 1958.

Rather than feature goofy illustrate­d parodies and Sylvester P. Smythe covers, Cracked TV has become a portal for writer/performers to riff on pop culture in videos like “The Archie Comics Sex Reboot No One Asked For” and “The Most Expensive Movie You’ve Never Heard Of,” as well as original shows from Cracked Studios.

Now all this insightful, thought-provoking silliness is available from the comfort of your living room, thanks to the free Apple TV app. Claiming to “always give you a lot to think about while you laugh and learn at the same time,” the content is free of ads and no subscripti­on is necessary.

 ??  ?? Cracked: offering plenty of those “Hey, they’re right, I never noticed that before” moments. With extra laughs.
