The Wizard of Oz through the eyes of the "wicked" witch. Her sister is murdered, her inheritance is stolen, and then she's murdered in a home invasion by a gang consisting of a teenager, a terminator, a talking lion and a possessed scarecrow.

"Now to Steve for the weather... Nope! Steve is one of those agent guys now. Ok. Good. Bye Steve. F*** the weather!" That made me laugh so much! XD

'And now that he's publicly established himself as a straight up domestic terrorist, Neo spends the rest of the series soaring over the city like a magical Osama bin Laden.' Just about choked to death on my morning coffee. Daniel O'Brien, you are a national comedic treasure.

I just rewatched the entire Star Wars trilogy in order to calculate the proportion of characters who are Luke versus characters who are not Luke. It checks out, what Dan said.

Recruiting teenagers with attitude and teaching them martial arts is proven to be effective in over 95% of test trials.

magical osama bin Laden was freaking hilarious

to be fair, the "humans are basically pets compared to vulcans" isn't taking into account the extension of human lifespans into the future - bones lived until he was over 130 years old, at least, which is probably closer to the average human lifespan at the time. still shorter than a vulcan's, to be fair, but like... parrot short, as opposed to dog short.

"Neo spends the rest of the series soaring over the city like a magical Osama Bin Laden" XD (4:10)

(4:13) *_"..soaring over the city like a magical Osama bin Laden"_* Brilliant.

"From my point of view the Jedi are evil!"

What about any movie that has antagionists that just decide they hate the protagionist and will go out of their way to bully them just because they dont like their face or something? They must live seriously depressing lives if they are that obsessed with bullying some random person. It's just extremely lazy writing.

I never could've imagined an exploding bowl of beans in a microwave would be an analogy used for a time paradox. Thank you, Daniel for adding that to my life and making it that much better.

I like this because he talks.

7:28 Spellchecker is your friend, my most exclellent one.

😂😂😂😂😂 actual tears man.... "if you or someone you know is turning into just this one guy please call and tell the government.... why. 😂😂😂😂

But you missed Beauty and the Beast, the story of the town hero that goes on an epic journey to rescue the town beauty from a terrible monster. Only to end up getting murdered.

Bill and Ted's Exclellent Adventure

Be excellent to each other.

"Bye Steve. F*** the weather.." I died XD

Okay, you've just torqued my view of Vulcan-Human relations. Thanks, dude.

It would have been too controversial for the 80s, but I wish Bill and Ted had stopped off at Moses on the mountain. Moses looks up, sees sunlight glinting off the chrome of the phone booth that creates what he thinks is a holy light, and he begs them for commandments to bring to the masses. Bill looks at Ted and they grin. Cut to Moses bringing down two stone tablets, onto which are carved the two commandments...

"Open your mouth for me, Internet!" I have no problem with this

isn't spock only half vulcan? I would assume he'd age closer to humans and live only half as longer than a normal human.

"theres no coversation that wouldnt end like a bowl of beans in a microwave" killed me.

So crates. Haha!

When I was a teenager I totally would have joined the foot clan...

It makes me sad to see that the So-crates joke/reference went over so many people's heads. :(

Title card says 5 movies but the KZfaq title says 4...

This is by far my favorite Cracked segment

Maybe those guards Neo kills are just NPCs and not connected to actual people. In most online games, you have avatars controlled by real people, but there are also NPC guards all over the place. It's possible those guards respawn as soon as Neo leaves the room. Morpheus: "Remember, if they don't have a name floating over their health bar, cap 'em!!"

nothing is more horrifying than the npcs perspective of a half life 2 speedrun.

Did you just analyse the historical and scientific inaccuracies of...Bill and Ted? Seriously, did you just do that? Did you just go there?

I know people love Swaim but i'm a Dan man myself.

"The species equivalent of that excitable, humping, reactionary beast that barks at a strong wind" ^The single greatest summary of William Shatner's Kirk that I have ever read.

“I don’t have any opinions about turtles” man whoever got together to write this one deserve a raise. I’m almost in tears

Congratulations cracked, you've mastered the art of making your videos seem way more important and entertaining than they actually are. I'm going to keep watching these, but i hope you know i'm onto you.

i love this guy. He reminds me of Alternate Universe TV on Rick and Morty.

of course if time is a predestined loop the first half of your argument is invalid. If they learned something they shouldn't have it's clearly fine, because it happened. If Billy the kid learned he died at 23, he's still gonna die at 23, whatever happens

The bit about Neo and Agent Smith kills me every time. Excellent dead-pan comedy there.

The Matrix issues you mentioned cracked me up because it's true and i always thought about the same things too.

Darn, I know you never talk about what you hint at at the end, which saddens me because I'd love a mermaid episode!

Wait, so when Alex keeps dying in his videos and his lifespan gets listed as 2002-2015, Cracked is really just telling us that he's the office dog? ...I'm surprisingly okay with this.

So-crates? wha? that's SOK-RAT-EEZ to you, buddy.

What about Star wars? People happily living their lives watching their government constantly getting attacked by rebels?

He slays me with this shit

that guy is so crates.

one of the best written shows I've ever seen on youtube.

"Hello? Is this everyone? This is Dan"

Neo is magical Osama Bin Ladin!!! I can never watch the matrix without laughing hysterically again! yesh

I like how David's new book is subtly placed on the table.

My biggest problem with the Matrix why don't they just imagine some badass futuristic nonlethal weapons in the computer world Clearly they can use whatever gun and vehicle they want, (a minigun armed helicopter,) so why can't they just load their virtual guns with some nonlethal bullets. Hell there from the future so they probably have some pretty advance nonlethal weapons or if they insist on killing people they certainly have future weapons more lethal than anything from the simulation 90s had access to.

Yea, but the thing youre forgetting about the matrix is that Morpheus's first lesson for Neo was "If you arent one of us, you're one of them" meaning he has to assume that any one of those "innocent humans" is a potential agent. Gunning down all those people isn't really bad because anyone still plugged into the matrix is basically an agents body to snatch.

Cypher from the first Matrix movie was right.

The average human in the star trek universe lives to 120 with some, Dr. Mcoy for example, lived to be like 137. So a Vulcan lifespan isn't that far off from a human.

"Soaring through the skies like a magical Osama Bin Ladin"... YES.

Funny thing with Lincoln is he very easily could have 100% known about his assassination due to his numerous nightmares and premonitions, which could be explained as him coping with Bill and Ted's intrusion

Matrix section was the best part. Keep up the good work Dan.

I lost it at "soaring over the city like a magical Osama Bin Laden!" LMAO

I always wondered what police think about the Bourne movies. For the most part they are two hours of honest cops being sent to deal with public disturbances and having their arms and legs broken.

Just watched the whole back catalogue of OCPD and then some, and subscribed off the back of it. Have to say, your writing and timing (the whole team really) is very good. Hope you make more of these.

Judging from a quick glance through this comment section I conclude that the normal population has just as many people, who are overly obsessed with what they perceive as correct pronounciation, as what is referred to as anime fandom.

well Kirk was Spock's t'hy'la and they both considered their relationship to be the most important one so the terrifying aspect isn't that he lost 'a dog' it's that he lost the other half of his soul and spend most of his life without that part of himself.

Did he say "So-Crates" instead of socrates?

this video is so funny. I laughed so much I'm crying

So mermaids. Are we talking top half or bottom half fish? lol

I was on another tab and "so crates" actually made me cringe, I really hope it was some joke I didn't get.

She just wanted to give her an apple. But no, her seven guardians HAD to kill her!

it's not often i feel the impulse to press the 'like' button in just the first few sentence of a video, but it keeps happening with Daniel's movie reviews. Good stuff :)

LMAO! That matrix bit was hilarious

You have a wonderful comedic delivery.

Not even a mention of how the Matrix is terrifying through Agent Smith's eyes? Now that I think about it, it's kinda like Planet of the Apes from Agent Smith's perspective.

"If you're sad that the video's not on anymore you can watch it again ... Never stop watching the videos." I am, endplate. I am.

um, actually.....Agent A.Smith was the One

Keanu Reeves is outta control!

"Like a magical Osama bin Laden." I love it! Perfect description of Neo flying around in the Matrix sequels!

When I realized that this was an OPCD video, my brain wanted to automatically like it... and throughout the video I kept wanting to like it again and again and again... This show is my favourite thing on youtube I think... I love absolutely everything about it: shifts my perspective on things, I feel like I learn new things and keep smiling and sometimes bursting out in laughter throughout the video... *sigh* Great great job!

Ican't ... understandawordhesays ... mightbebecausehetalksreallyquickly .. t h e n s l o w l y ... thenreallyquicklyagain

Magical Bin Laden LOL

All we are is dust in the wind dude. Dust. Wind. Dude. ->

One of my fervent wishes in this life, along with the longevity and good health of my family and loved ones, is that Daniel O'Brian keeps making videos on the internet.

So is it 4 or 5?

I wonder if it's possible for a human to talk any faster. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to re-watch this several times to understand the commentary

The most amazing thing about the Joan of Arc story: She lived her whole life in one town, never leaving it, like most women of her era, and then just suddenly drops everything and walks away. People dont just randomly change their entire life direction like that. She had to have seen something. A time traveler who takes her to a fantastic future where she learns that she does these amazing things could realistically be interpreted as divine direction. Also, fun fact about Abraham Lincoln: A psychic warned him about his death, but decided not to listen. So he could have been told about it by time travelers, but just didn't care. So no paradox.

When you called everyone my phone actually rang. I have never been this freaked out in my life.

is the awkwardness faked or genuine?

"so crates"

Titanic should have made this list!! The personal story of Rose has to be presented in a very certain way for it to actually work! It has to be told from the perspective of the lovers or you start to notice things that shatter the illusion.

sew-crates? jfc man it's pronounced "SOCK-RAT-TEES"

Leather clad flying Osama Bin Laden lol!

"Watch another one until a new one comes out again" Crying actual tears now

4:30 The punch has great timing "tell someone in the government..." Lmao

ITS A FLYING OSAMA BIN LADEN!!!! Yes, Neo is the techno 2..3? whatever, coming of Jesus.

you trained your dog to live forever too ?

Actually human life-spans are longer in Star Trek as well, presumably due to technological advancements. Dr. McCoy shows up in the first episode of the next generation at which point he would have been 137 years old. So yeah, Vulcans still live longer, but no quite to the human vs dog level.

1:47 I missed that lesson growing up. I still get teary thinking about the bearded dragon I had in high school but don't even know more than 4 of my 20+ cousins' names.

did this guy write this stuff? hes funny

If instead of posting the stupid typewriter videos, you just had Dan read that content. That would make them so much more awesome. Please make more of these and have Dan read the typewriter videos instead of the stupid typewriter. I watch videos so I don't have to read.

Wait The Matrix sounds an awful lot like the made for PBS movie based on a book, "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank" starring the late, great Raul Julia.

Abraham Lincoln wasn't assassinated 20 years before Billy the Kid was born. Billy was killed in 1881, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. Billy was around 5 or 6 years old when Lincoln was assassinated.
