* [[Internet Backdraft]]: Thanks to the very preachy, social justice centered articles that have been written over the years, lots of former fans have voiced their displeasure in the new direction Cracked has taken and have given up going to the site in disgust.
* [[Iron Woobie]]: John Cheese is showing signs of this with his new article. It's about how not to pass on the abuse to your kids that you suffered as a child. He uses his horrible childhood as an example.
* [[Jumping the Shark]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20120108112238/http://www.cracked.com/article/242_6-tv-shows-that-completely-lost-their-shit/?wa_user1=2&wa_user2=Movies+%26+TV&wa_user3=article&wa_user4=recommended 6 TV Shows That Completely Lost Their Shit].
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: [http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-reasons-women-will-rule-future/?wa_user1=2&wa_user2=Sex&wa_user3=blog&wa_user4=feature_module "5 Reasons Why Women Will Rule the Future."] It's [[Poe's Law|(hopefully)]] [[Straw Misogynist|just a joke,]] but judging from [[He-Man Woman Hater|some of the comments,]] not everybody saw it that way.
* [[Memetic Badass]]: [[Theodore Roosevelt]]. Bully!
