So social media is the adult version of the spoiled kid who gets his way by having a screaming tantrum in Wal Mart?
If you were going to give the internet an enema, you'd stick the tube in Social Media.
@@TheeGlocktopusWhy there are one month old comments only in this video.. is not this video suppose to be a year ago ?
@@BitByBitMyHeartIsFalling I didn't know there was some arbitrary point in time set by yourself for everyone to get comments in by, and one second past that point the comment become irrelevant for some unknown reason. "If it's not new to me, it shouldn't be new to you!"
@@TheeGlocktopus is that really a feature for CZcams user ? Do you see any comment here 3 month ago
Well the difference there is that the spoiled kid might eventually get what he wants, albeit undeservingly. There's at least a point to it.
Here, people will keep shouting at each other indefinitely over an unwinnable argument for no reward, it's not like either side is going to change their worldview because of some angry comments littered with grammar mistakes and cherry picked (if any) sources.
"what's the worst a little ol' social media platform could do to a popular website?" The length of this pause forced the point into our physical universe. Ty Jordan for bringing Cracked back
You’re welcome haha
I don't understand what they were referencing though. Could you explain?
@@wb8695 cracked and many other small media/comedy companies boards were duped into believing that everyone was moving to Facebook video. So everyone moved there to get that sweet sweet ad money. Which actually wasn’t there. So when your entire platform converts its algorithm to post somewhere with zero actual revenue you lose money. So their parent company probably fired a whole bunch of the staff to try and push a buyout (layoffs always make a company look cash positive because of all the money that isn’t being spent on labor). Which didn’t work and so now companies like cracked and college humor are niche humor sites when they were on track to being humor website juggernauts (hypothetically, since we are in the future and know that everyone decided 15sec-3 minute clips make the brain go brrrr.
@@wb8695 also look at the fact that they have nearly 3million subscribers but only 85k views in 24hours. Much of that is from 2015-2017 when they were hyper focused on the CZcams algorithm.
@@wb8695 I think what happened was this: Facebook published stats that *vastly* exaggerated the popularity of video content in general by counting people scrolling past videos as views. This displaced a lot of print content that had consistent but not overstated popularity, as content production moved toward video and away from print because the ad revenue was perceived to be there. This was especially true in the case of Cracked. When Facebook’s lie was revealed, ad revenue for video content dropped off dramatically. Cracked basically went broke, with the incredible talent pool that had been built up over many years fired and scattered across the podscape and with the site itself, having lost both its video and print momentum, needing to be effectively rebuilt, albeit with the advantage of a sleeping subscriber base who could still perk up if given a reason (e.g. Roger).
I try not to do social media because I 100% agree with what Roger is saying, yet here I am.
YT is the weed of social media: not too bad to get into, encourages (or in the worst cases, pressures) obtaining knowledge and care in order to properly use it, and still possible to avoid and get away from the worst parts.
Twitter is the black tar heroin cut with fentanyl of social media: causes nothing but irreparable damage to your life that you need to stay as far away as possible from - and if you are ob it, you had better cut it completely out of your life immediately.
Here's your dopamine shot! 😜
I only use it for the art I find and do my best to stay from anything to insane
I don't count CZcams comments as social media.
@@joshuaharris3039 Ikr. Social media has something for everyone. Its the distractions that draw the most attention.
Quitting social media was the best thing I’ve done in a while
What about CZcams
@@kaoutarrachdi4574 Next to impossible
@Jakem1872 so when did you get back on?

As a Brit... I had no idea that "Being Rodgered" was understood in the US 😳😂
Oh. We know.
Yeah I was surprised about that too.
You like it that way, don't you, yeah you do.
Oh we are very aware
ONLY AMERICA EXISTS!!!
People used to write diaries and get annoyed when other people read them... now they put everything on social media and get annoyed when they don't.
I really like how Cracked "engages" with the viewers in the comments, giving them little shots of dopamine. Ooo, aaahhh!!! Gimmie some of that😉
Yummy yummy
@@cracked that hits the spot, EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Woooooooo! 👌 Where's mine? I'm feeding off the crumbs of his rush! Darn! 😅🙃😆💀
@@Livingdgurl haha not the 'crumbs of his rush'! This just made me fully giggle like a toddler and I thank you. 10/10 🤣👌
Well to be fair it only takes them like 5 minutes now.
aarghhh ughhh dopamine release😂😂
Who remembers the actual M.A.D magazine and the picture you folded a certain way to make a secret image? I used to highly anticipate the new one every month !!! Those were the days.
Liking this because I am also old and I feel the need to add to engagement on this post... probably because I am old.

Social media is a cesspool of hate.
That or people narcissistically posting every detail of their life.
@@yellowblanka6058I feel like I've been found out
And ignorance. And hypocrisy.
I get my dopamine hit whenever a new Roger video comes out 😄
I get my dopamine when when ever I see you. Come find me at the nearest McDonald’s drive-through
Discount not the importance of adrenaline also?
It's not like a social media company could change the outcome of an election. That would be crazy talk.
Well, they tried with Trump, who wasn't their darling (even though he made them a lkot of money).
Facebook and CZcams got busted for approving ads that messed with Brazil's last election too@@testthewest123
Man how i miss the internet when it was just a space for nerds talking about their hobbies. Now it's hijacked by corporations and politicians
This is so true. This is why most of us should limit our social media use, and some people shouldnt be on any of them at all.
Cancel your socials, and go outside!
Lately I only use CZcams. I deleted my twitter, I barely use Facebook or Instagram (I don't usually post, I just use it when I need to speak to someone I don't have their cell number) and I never had a Tiktok because I know how addictive that s**t is and I don't need that. I have a reddit but only so I can see the answers for some very specific questions (like "how do you beat level __ on videogame ________") every once in a while, but just like Facebook I don't post.
Edit: and I feel so much better now that I limited my social media usage. Just leaving twitter alone made me feel much better.
Does CZcams count 🤨 cuz that’s what i mostly be on this & Pinterest 🥴
You say on one of the world's largest social media platforms...oh the irony.
@@NankitaBR holy shit, same. I've been trying for YEARS to pry my very sweet mother from the grips of Facebook. She really wants to see the good in everyone so I have to continually check in on her feed to show her that even seemingly innocuous memes can actually be the FARTHEST things from it. She's almost 70 and as liberal as it gets but doesn't understand that when a page with a name like Patriots for America posts: "I miss the old days" that it's not "I miss the time before Trump created Alternative Facts" and actually more like "I miss being able to say r3t4rd, f4g and N***3r whenever I wanted!"
Facebook has a serious chokehold on the boomers and it suuuucks. Smh.
@@Xo.Telisa god, I hope not because YT and Pinterest are all I got left out here, girl! 🤣
Shout out to everyone who worked at Cracked prior to 2017. This video tips its hat to you.
What happened after 2017?
Roger Horton is my favorite member of the Boomer generation. For real Jack, you have this character nailed.
You click on a Roger once and YT feeds you constant Rogers. Finally something useful and educational. Did it on a cat video once but the effect is not the same. If you've seen one, you've seen 'm all.
Disagreed. You can never see enough cats
@@amberd.883No one can ever see enough cat videos l
Roger is pure gold, why one earth is he not cast as some Bond villain? The pure panache with which he deliver "evil" in a good package is magic.
Omg, THIS has nailed it. 🤣🤣
Read Hannah Arendt.
Key concept: _the banality of evil._
In other words, a Bond villian is too easy to identify and thus resistible. It's the otherwise normal-looking evil-doers who do the damage in real life.
Nope. Read my reply to the same guy you replied to.
I don't like how I was told exactly what I'm doing to myself... Like, Roger stared right at me
Me on YT for most of the day...
For real I'm constantly going through an emotional roller coaster
@@PraiseTheFSMonster you think you are? Try being me.
Currently trying to get out of this death spiral and doing a shit job of it due to my dopamine system failing.
@@blockedjuser1272 I would argue it’s working as intended it’s just our rains weren’t designed for the digital world.
Yeah I wouldn’t brag that’s the point.
Social media and technology should be cautiously approached ESPECIALLY where children are involved. They don’t have the mental capacity to handle that stress and pressure-peer pressure is hard enough.
Plenty of adults don't, either.
Bro I'm 34 and I don't have the metal capacity. My life has been 10x better since I deleted all that shit (unless you count yt).
Adults abuse those, with worse consequences for both themselves and their family.
Roger, the most trusted name on the internet.
We wonder why there's an epidemic of anxiety disorders among our teenagers, while not being able to keep them off their "smart"-phones in the classroom.
I'm so glad Roger is back at it, really wish more of the older series could be revived.
Like After Hours and People Watching?
He's the best! Glad they got him back.
@@JumpingTunaAfter Hours for sure, perhaps the Noob vs Leet video game series, and the office segments with random topics that featured the whole cast at one point or another.
Yeah, I miss obsessive pop culture disorder
I tried watching After Hours with the new class, but it just wasn't the same.
Funny how everyone didn't get Roger's shade about how a social media company can do to a popular website, aka Facebook fucked over Cracked and almost destroyed it
Thanks! 😆
Cracked did that to themselves by posting less funny great fact filled articles to read (seriously who cares about another Marvel DC Superhero crap article) and being too left wing woke political. Now TikTok video facts on CZcams has pretty much replaced Cracked articles as interesting information to know!
I've never held a fb account, and I don't need that to influence me. Cracked has some good stuff (mostly roger) but quite a bit of garbage. If Roger wasn't a thing I would have 0 reason to view anything from cracked, much less subscribe.
@@jamesjames6601 that was a result of Facebook publishing fake data about engagement to convince sites to pivot to them for video content. They started doing bad and fired a lot of people hence the loss of quality.
Who is this "everyone" you speak of? 🤔
Noticed a significant improvement for my mental health when I stopped using Facebook, IG n such years ago. Yes I realize I'm commenting on a social media platform rn although I don't feel like YT is nearly as bad for you as those as if I do engage it's mostly just drive by comments that I'll rarely check a response to or from...
Don't forget the false power behind being "anonymous" on certain social media sites
That long pause with the old outro music was so perfect. I would not have gotten the reference otherwise.
I think CZcams did as much to kill websites as other social media. I know I consumed Cracked and other's content (College Humor) here where it was aggregated in easy to access.
Maybe that was intended as a shot at CZcams, but I took it more as a shot at Facebook. Famously, it was when Facebook started pushing video, and both CH and Cracked started relying on metrics from Facebook video (which were, they later found out, complete lies), that CH and Cracked both took huge financial hits which ended up killing both sites' video production teams.
@@JimCullen Could be. I feel like the CZcams ad revenue implosion after Elsagate played a roll as well. It would be really interesting to see a deep dive on what happened at Cracked... though NDAs have a chilling effect on everything now. =/
Social media, where being an instigator is rewarded.
Satire on the very thing they're actively doing in this episode. This is meta as hell lol
It's free to join! Meaning you are the product and you produce content in search of validation. I cringe every time that they update their privacy policies.
We are all getting Rodgered and liking it.
This one dropped so many truth bombs it actually got scary, it was magnificent!
Social media is the source of everything that has gone wrong with the entire world for the last 20 years. If my friends and family can't visit me or send a letter, oh well. Celine said our hearts will go on.
social media didn't exist 20 years ago but ok
But your lying when you say oh well. Because you actually want your friends and family to visit or send a letter. Everyone needs friends.
Back in like 2008-2012 social media was alright because not everyone had a smart phone to use it with (at least in my country). Back then people would briefly visit Myspace or Facebook after work on their desktop computers, maybe share a funny picture or post a comment or two. But when everyone got smart phones in the early 2010s, people started to overuse social media because it became so easy; You could do it anywhere, any time. And that's when it all went wrong.
@@ba_charlesyou don't think there was social media 20 years ago? Lol. Facebook founded 2004. Myspace before that. AOL and ICQ and Yahoo before that.
@@ba_charlesmyspace was launch in 2003

When Roger goes full "evil" genius by debating the wrongs of social media. Good job team, brilliant work!
Do you folks think you can do some material over Flight Companies?
*hits the like button*
Roger: “See, the system works.”
I will say that the true danger of social media, goes back to “don’t talk to strangers”, with the bigger problem that you don’t even know the social bracket of this people or if they are even people (both).
This is my most favorite one yet! Beyond brutal!
Roggit is the best/worst social media that definitely exists
I have opinions on that
“This is great! All my friends are here!”
(Nothing on the screen but ads)
Yup, that’s social media 😂
Wait..I knew CollegeHumor was basically killed by Facebook. Did Cracked have a similar experience?
YUP. Entire video team fired in a single day.
@@cracked Oh! That's why that happened! I thought it was just the previous owners being idiots.
Damn. So Facebook killed Dorkly, CollegeHumor AND After Hours, Obsessive Pop Culture and all those other great shows.. Bastards!
Mind you...Your Brain On Cracked is pretty good... 😁
@@lawrencechesneau Ha thank you. I like it.
I always loved Cracked, but tbh, I think I'm enjoying this revised version of it even more. Of the "series" in it, my faves have to be YBOC and of course, the inimitable Roger! These If X Were Honest videos are freaking hilarious, but also absolutely true, and somehow have the ability to scare me while I'm genuinely laughing out loud! The quality of the writing, as well as the acting, is absolutely at the top IMHO.
Thank you "Team Roger", you all make my day when a new video pops up. And thank you to everyone involved in resurrecting one of CZcams's best channels. 👏👏👏🥰
Thanks so much for giving us a shot!
This sums up exactly why I cancelled my twitter and only check facebook to see which of my family members died. CZcams is the only one I go to, and I keep my notifications turned off.
this is the most ironic honest ad considering it's published on a social media platform
The best part is that the only prop not absolutely needed (like the phone) _is a church pew_ - Social Media is the new religion, indeed.
The end statement is so true, that is what people are selling democracy and truth for, to do what everyone else is doing
When I was a teenager I deleted my socials and haven't looked back lol. CZcams is as crazy as I get.
How old are you now?
Same here.
That's a lot of shade to throw. It's almost like Facebook Video directly led to the termination of Cracked's entire video team at one point...
So, in other words social media hasn't really changed much about media industry practices except make it interactive and cut the cost of content creation by leaving it up to the product... I mean user base.
The irony that this got posted on the same day that a Canadian telecom company called Rogers had an outage that shut down the majority of the internet in Canada.😂
😂
Another great video! Thanks /Hip
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much!
I stopped using Facebook, and on Twitter, I mostly follow a bunch of people who make cute art. Also, I mostly use it via TweetDeck, which only shows their tweets and whatever they like and RT. It's made things a lot more pleasant and bearable. 😌
I also stopped using facebook, the only social media I use is CZcams. I could make my wife to quit and delete tiktok from her phone, I called that a win. Life is much better without all that crap, quitting social media is as good to your mental health as quit drinking/smoking to your physical health.
@@mikerowave1986same! Congrats ;)
Get lost Putin!
I absolutely how Roger videos are on the nose. I really needed a Roger video today. I just wonder what cookie video Roger is going to cover next? Now if only everyone told it how it was, the world to be screwed up but at least we all know people would be honest.
Roger's face at @0:15 is so meme worthy! 🤣😂😭
I deleted my Mta accounts two months ago. No Facebook, no Insta. No daily insults, no daily arguments with narrow mindet toxic people. Yes, I lost a few people I really liked and shared a similar set of values. But these nice friendly interactions were just a small percentege of my daily dose of social media. Thanks to totally toxic group admins who bully everyone with a slightly different opinion out of the group to keep their bubble nice and clean and free from reasonable conversations. I don't feel sorry I didn't feed your Gottkomplex and your narcicisstic desire to be in control.
Yes, I did spend to much time on Facebook and Insta. And blocking me for having a neutral balanced opinion and my annoying asking for science backed sources made me realize: This is not good for my mental health...
I think of the Metaverse like an more evil thing like 1984 by Orwell.
Totally relatable. Social media is the cancer of our society
I've deleted everything a year and a half ago too, and i've never been better, best decision i've ever made
What does "Mta" mean? I just now did reseach about this acronym but could find no immediate answer.
Mail transfer agent.
Been suspended by Mta so I suspended them back, F-O-R-E-V-E-R. No FB, no insta, no tok doc. Best thing I ever did. Lots of time to do stuff now - my way.
love Darnell Eaton's acting, that last part is really great. Trying to google the name if he is the right actor and found out he is a realtor.
Yup haha
If social media were honest, no one would ever use social media.
Well its pretty well known how bad it is people don’t care
Freaking A I LOVE YOU GUYES who created this video! 😆 You Nailed It!!!
"Getting Rogered" is exactly what it sounds like.
Love Roger he looks like butter wouldn't melt but...there's a core of steel inside 😂
Sort of a "he who fights with monsters" but instead, if you're using social media, take care that it doesn't use you.
When the world needed him most, he reappeared.
I have deleted Facebook and Instagram without any regrets
ITS BULLYING YOU INTO SEEING SPECIFIC POSTS DESPITE FOLLOWING DIVERSE ACCOUNTS
I have lost track of how often I get Joe rogan forced down my throat despite specifically requesting otherwise.
This would have been even funnier if...if it wasn't also true. 🤣
I like this channel verry much. Original content still lives
Quitting social media (not counting yt) cold turkey was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made.

This episode my friend is everything I been seeing for years as fake and why I never had IG or FB etc. Great vid as always. ✌️
That social media affecting a popular website comment really got me in the feels, since I've been following Cracked for...quite some time now.
Show the bloody aftermath of these murders, show that classroom after all the bodies were removed, all the gore and used sponges and gauzes, all the blood soaked clothing and belongings, and bloody shoe prints, rub Americas face in it until they change this shit because now we only get to see as much as a blind person listening to n-p-r!
Can you do "If crytocurrency was Honest" video? Call it "Rogecoin".
I think it's like with money or tools; it's how you use them. CZcams is technically a social media platform, but as long as we're aware of just about everything Roger said, and we are capable of thinking our own thoughts, and we speak to each other in the comments the same way we would in person, social media can be a very useful tool, or at the very least, an occasional form of entertainment.
And if you disagree with me, I hope you fall in a well.
😂
Key word think own thoughts and awareness :] i feel this is greatly lacking
@@ilenastarbreeze4978 You fool! You've fallen into the insipid, social response of "keyword being [blank]". Your attempt to think individually has only dragged you further into the social media hellscape. 🦀🗑
Putting a comment here so that the algorithms will recommend this to more people.
This video made me realize something. I've always had low dopamine levels thanks to my super fun ADHD which as always made it harder to enjoy certain things people do for that sweet chemical hit. People always say that excersize while hard makes them feel good afterwards, it never has for me. So while i have some social media (it's very hard not to in modern society) i barely spend any time on it. Don't have Instagram, TikTok or even Twitter. And i'm not saying this to be all smug and superior but it's wild that i didn't register that the reason people are addicted to social media is dopamine. And for once my barely functioning brain actually works for me. Huzzah now back to trying to trick myself into doing useful work.
Hiya, Freya :) I am totally on board with you regarding social media. I do have a Twitter account, but it's totally private. I use it like a diary, noting down when I take my meds and how I am feeling at the time. I'm physically disabled, but that also affects my mental health. I learned some years ago that having an active Twitter account was not good for that. I still have the "public" one, but only in case I feel like I have to share some news. I don't even go to the account, I just use the "share with" option, hit send or whatever it is, and go back to what I was doing.
As an aside, you said exercise doesn't raise your spirits, as it were, but have you tried singing? Either belting out favourite tunes at home or joining a choir (preferably a large one because it works better amongst others feeling the same way. It's a "the more the merrier" thing). It's always been something that I love to do, though choirs are no longer possible for me (I used to perform solos back in the day, but I developed crippling stage fright. Another reason for singing with a lot of people!). I find it gives the ultimate "clean high", so to speak.
The longer and louder you do it, the better you feel. I know many others who joined choirs as much for the friendship as the music, but everyone has said how they "fly" back home after practice or a concert.
I promise I am not trying to patronise you in any way (my youngest has ADD and the next one up is on the Asperger's spectrum, so I get it. I know very well that treatments - medical or otherwise - are completely personal), or even saying this *will* be good for your dopamine, it just works for me and those I've ever spoken to about it. It _might_ help, and it's a lot more fun than hitting the gym! Even if it's in the shower, sing a favourite song as loud as you can. It could help you get that buzz that is missing from so many of our lives.
Best wishes to you. I hope you are happy, and if so, you stay that way. If not, you find something that makes you happy (there are lots of possible hobbies, for example, that can affect your mood positively). Take care :D
@@y_fam_goeglyd Thank you for your kind words. I do actually like singing although more often than not just listening to some good tunes moves the needle a little. I didn't mean to imply nothing brings me dopamine just that it's usually not much or for very long. But I'm 30, I'm pretty used to it by this point. Anyway just wanted to say thanks because of how long and thoughtful your comment was. Hope you have a lovely day/night 😄
I feel the same way :p though i can doom scroll facebook because of bordom but i use it just to find books to read mostly now. And yea ive always wondered why people feel good at doing things that seem so boring and just .. hard to do like excersize or dishes or ect. Adhd is a hell of a brain chemistry!
@@y_fam_goeglyd holy crap someone really polite! Sorry i just had to call you out because polite is so rare these days. Thabk you! And i ttoally sgrre with whatcha said. I like singing to myself if noone can hear me but am too embarrassed to sing infront of others. For me reading ( i understand being able to read novels is hard for a lot of people woth adhd) gives me that happy feels and video games
Yeah - I've never done Instagram, FaceBook, nor Tik Tok. I used Twitter for a bit many, many years ago for about a year during the Obama administration. Mostly, it's just CZcams nowadays. Honestly, the ONLY thing most social media platforms are good for is sharing pictures of your kids and pets to your family. Anything past that gets toxic in a heartbeat.
This footage is basically gold, you'll have clean footage to AI recreate Rodger perfectly
I'm so glad this was algorithm'd to me!
Roger is a legend but the other actors should get some recognition too.
Mr. Roger's final rant sound like something Mr. Carlin will drop in one of his stand up.
That rap at the end **chef's kiss**
Finally. Someone that isn't afraid of what people know about them. I can respect that.
Better share this on social media.
Everyone needs to see all his videos
Got an advert for Reddit immediately upon finishing the video
You guys never fail!!!
...Not that I don't agree, especially since I've always loathed social media even before people (finally) realized just how bad Facebook actually was (but largely only because they turned into conspiracy theorists), but this feels like it should almost have a NSFW in the title given all the moaning. That would still be true of the social media anyway, especially if you replaced "work" with "well-being".
Half-joking prudishness aside, this was sadly desperately needed, especially with the way Tiktok has been taking off over the past year even though it will likely turn out to be *even worse* overall.
I missed the joke at 4:24
Spot on! Thanks Cracked for having Roger on with great social commentary.
Wow, this one is pretty hard-hitting!
You're Doing The Lord's Work Roger, Bless You !
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the world… that Roger can’t make merciless fun of!
I love seeing the final version! It was fun seeing your live with this and other topics. Bravo!
I decided to create an anti-social media platform. Sadly I had to ban myself for policy violations.
So glad I treat social media as a mental dumpster than a means of validation.
Liked just to give you that little dopamine hit that comes with someone agreeing with you.
Yay! Another honest ads video.
Yeah, I just love getting 'ROGERED'!!!
I realized and deleted my IG account a month ago with a comment- '"Your algorithm is not strong enough".
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. I remember a while back commenting on a video and asking you to make this video. I'm glad you actually did it.
You're welcome!
I have been saying this about social media for a long time. It makes us braindead!

I laughed a little too loud at "Getting Rogered into oblivion."
Thanks for producing another episode of Roger. I enjoy this playful insights into modern culture and current events. It appears this one shows us the dangers of social media to appeal to peoples need for engagement to the point of addiction. Human nature, following the path of least resistence, turns people into use of social media as an instrument of dopamine generation. Worse still, it promotes a culture of immature emotional expression and reation, all while eclipsing mature dissemination of useful information about health, money and relationships.
I make intellectual content with pictures and easy/fun/learnfull topics, man, not a lot of people are interested in that. Our brain size is becoming smaller, from 1400cc to 1200cc I believe. We're a 200,000 year old species and here we're. I can't wait to die, fking jesus.
Man I been waiting for this man. I love when they post da truth 😆
Might be one of best videos you had lately, the sarcastic take on the social media maelstrom is just on point.
Community did an excellent take on social media in their season 5 episode "App Development and Condiments" back in 2014.
