** A rejected [[Troll]] profile gave us THE GODDAMN BUBBA DOVER. It was a [[Scary Black Man]], with [[Blaxploitation]] tropes [[Beyond the Impossible]]. Rather than being annoyed, it backfired and the handlers of the board seized on this one instead, to the point where any mention of [[Badass]] characters is sure to mention him at some point or another. |

* During the third [[Loading Ready Run|Desert Bus for Hope]] charity drive Matt Wiggins turned down an offer for $500 if he wore eyeliner. Hundreds of ridiculous accusations were made about how evil Matt was, including that he invented ''Desert Bus'', [[Star Wars|midichlorians]], and canceled ''[[Firefly]]''. Two public access Twitter accounts carried out the meme (Things Matt Did and Things Matt Did 2). He was eventually redeemed by a) promising to watch ''[[Battlefield Earth]]'', and b) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9mF3mISUeo this]. |

* The titular Ninja of [[Ask a Ninja]] often makes astonishing claims about what he and other ninjas can do. Like how a ninja can go through a snowstorm without being hit by a single snowflake, or that they are faster than the speed of light. They are the speed of ''darkness''. He also claims that he killed 4500 people in a day and that the Black Death was a ninja. |

* Agents of Cracked brings us The Chief, who, among other things, eats lead and craps bullets(so his toilet gets all...shot up, when he poops), rides a triceratops to work, drinks tiger blood milkshakes for breakfast(MILKSHAKES, FOR BREAKFAST!), and personally knows Die Hard(Not Bruce Willis, Die Hard). Turns out he belongs to a pantheon of other such Chiefs, all of whom are equally badass(Up to and including sexually assaulting a mountain). |
