How To Ruin Your Favorite Sitcoms With Simple Math TV sitcoms The Cosby Show - Komedie
How to ruin an awesome comedy site: Fire all your best writers/actors.
Did cracked do this?
@@ciaranward3559 Sort of. From what I remember, the money pretty much just dried up and Cracked just isn't as profitable as it used to be, so it was pretty much a permanent lay off. A lot of the previous writers and actors went on to do other stuff though, including the spiritual successor to After Hours, Off Hours by Michael Swaim:

Check out small beans they are doing a take on this
@@Dot2TheLockYou just repeated what I said. I literally linked them the episode and everything. Why do people like you just comment without reading?
@@DobbyTheGamer you should check it small beans to I think you would like it
Don’t forget how Chandler and Monica had a May wedding, and, after returning from a two week honeymoon, they hosted a Halloween party.
Did they specifically say that chandler and Monica left for their honeymoon right after their wedding? It’s possible that they delayed the honeymoon.
@@JimmySteller After the wedding she's depressed and Chandler says something like "we still have the honeymoon" and she answers "that's not until thursday" so they probably left for the honeymoon like in the next week.
Bruna Melo Alright, so the writers were just morons. That checks out, honestly.
@@JimmySteller Ehn, very few sitcoms have a good timeline to be honest.
Bruna Melo True, but even without that timeline, Friends is shockingly unfunny for all that people love it. As a kid, I laughed, but now I think it was because it was the first time I’d ever seen a show which included laughter from a studio audience. Watching it now, all I see is a bunch of bland white people dealing with petty issues in dumb ways, in between bad jokes, half of which have aged horribly.

So far Dan is at 28, Kate is at 28, Soren is at 27, and Michael is at 24 wins.
But everybody knows Micheal's points are more eyeopening.
Before I saw the word "wins" at the end of that sentence, I thought you were trying to guess their ages.
huh, I wasn't keeping score
Dan I could see, but when did Katie get all those wins?
+Imitation Infinity She started wining more recently.
M.A.S.H had over 7 Christmas specials in a war that only lasted 3 years
Seven? I knew that show was bad with time (one year passed in a single episode) but that's really something.
Conclusion: M.A.S.H. exists in a parallel timeline where the Korean War went much longer than in ours.
Well, we know that M*A*S*H is basically about Vietnam war. Maybe in this timeline these two wars just switched places...
Oh! Snap! I hadn't thought about that!
YES!! THANK YOU!! It's because of M.A.S.H that I actually assumed that the Korean War was longer! It wasn't until I learned about the war in school that I learned that it only lasted *3* years
I’ve watched this episode probably half a dozen times since it came out, and I always thought, “oh, wow, yeah, those must’ve been Phoebe’s babies,” and it just now occurred to me that there’s absolutely no way that a medical doctor, in a hospital, would attempt to perform IVF on a 5 month pregnant woman and just… not notice… or tell anyone… that she was already *5 months pregnant.*
The problem with this episode is that it assumes a GREAT deal of things and ignores an even GREATER amount of other things.
It might be possible? There are shows like I didn’t know I was pregnant for a reason, and this was also in the 90s.
@@hazelsingh3887 there’s “I didn’t know I was pregnant,” and then there’s “a doctor implanted a fertized egg directly into my uterus and didn’t discover the 3 fetuses already in there.”
If nothing else, even if her menstrual cycle wasn’t noticeably changed and her hormone levels weren’t enough to indicate it, they would’ve seen three objects growing in her uterus on the ultrasound when they went to implant the eggs.
Couldn't it simply be that Phoebe told her doctor not to tell anyone once the doctor saw the 3 babies in her uterus? She probably told him/her to play along so that she could pass the kids off as her brother's.
It wouldn't be the strangest medical error to occur in an IVF clinic.
Don't mind me, just mourning the loss of one of the great CZcams shows for dorks like me. I'd be so happy if there was some way to continue this off cracked, but I guess not. Good luck to all these guys and especially the writers. Thanks for the memories.
Why did they stop the show?
Cracked fired the actors/writers. BUT look for the channel "Small Beans". Sadly they can't do After Hours, but the same guys are there.
Cody Johnston has the channel, Some More News with a podcast version featuring Katy Stoll.

*deep breath lol*
@@kikic4899 lol. Your response is so cute, you made my day. Only a pleasure.
I love how Katie mentions that Frasier was a bad dad by the amount of times the son is on the show but on Friends, Ross' son Ben is on for a similar amount.
I guess love is blind.
They mentioned on a previous episode how all of the Friends with kids were shitty parents.
Ross is worse considering that he lives near his kid. At least with Frasier they live in different states on opposite sides of the country so realistically he would see him that often anyway.
Yeah Ben weirdly age jumps from toddler to eight year old in just a couple of seasons. Emma, other than a handful of baby and toddler scenes, is never seen on screen after two seasons, and we don't see her at all on screen in the final season. Also, it bothers me that Ben and Emma seem to have no connection to each other on screen, despite being half siblings and their parents ending up together.
SNoVa525 they mention Ross being a crappy dad in the episode about Friends. His son only appears 13 times.
How many times did you see the kids from Everybody Loves Raymond? And they were supposedly living with them!
One of the jokes in the episode where Phoebe gives birth is that is on Fonzie's half birthday. Fonzie's birthday is October 30. so his half birthday would be April 30. Their math still checks out it just seems this is a far less convoluted way of arriving at the same answer.
To be fair, Ross had as many canon birthdays as he did marriages.
Ya’ll have NO IDEA how much I miss this show and cast.
God, imagine if they were still doing it till this day. The gold they stole from us.
YESSSSS
I have an idea. probably about as much as I miss this show and cast.
fun fact though - Michael has a channel (SmallBeans) and Soren and Daniel have a podcast. (Not sure what Katie is up to, sorry.)
Damn! So basically Bill Cosby created a show about his sick habit in a "comedic" fashion and it went on to be an iconic show, running forever.
The man was never accused of going after kids. That wasn't his "sick habit".
It was just a case of someone not doing the math right or lining it up with other times they mentioned numbers relative to age when writing new scripts.
this was just a bad plot hole because his thing was date rape not grooming kids
Soren shaking bc he can't do math is the most relatable thing I've ever seen.
That 70's Show: the timeline was suppose to run from 1976-1979.
But the show ran for 8 seasons and every season had at least one holiday episode.
Mallika Banerjee every single season had a Christmas special?
MASH had a dozen Christmases
ha ha people who make tv shows are absalute IDIOTS
Yeah, it's pretty great haha
4 chrismas episodes. 1976 to 1980
I'm constantly amazed that kids grew up thinking "Friends" was a wholesome, sweet show when the running theme was pretty much "it's a good thing they're friends with each other because no one else would put up with them."
It's Seinfeld minus the framing of moral-dubiousness.
That's just the revisionist history speaking
2:00 I still love how fast Dan perks up at the chance and permission to use his trivia knowledge. So precious 😊
He heard the call, and he answered it!
Now we need to back-track and see who the father of Phoebe's babies is. Thanks for the homework, jerks!
William Roberts If you figure it out, tell me. I'm to lazy to try and look for the answer myself
I'm still trying to figure out why they go from the Joey won't be with Ursula because he has feelings for Phoebe episode and never follow it up be up to it there is a running How you doin' joke about how he always gets to her. Out of everyone they played with every match making but the two that obviously fit well together. Phoebe was Ross' bully who almost slept with him before she became roommates with the other girls who has abandonment issues but Joey is the fun guy whom Chandler lucked into as a roommate who has grown up with nothing but sisters who , when he really likes a woman, is a sweetheart and finds his need to be monogamous first though Phoebe. they are both athletic (with Monica also with her competitiveness) while being highly sexual beasts. Then she ends up with a less famous of Joey in Mike(Paul Rudd being a non actor on show but more famous in real life). It's one of the few shows that should have ended with all six as couples. the four who grew up together matched up and the two later friends where the perfect final match teased but never explored. Hell Chandler and Phoebe even had a flirt off until he finally revealed he loved Monica! But It would be funny if Joey was secretly the father of the triplets and his relationship with phoebe was secret and ended by her search for her parents and him keeping an eye on his sisters as they were getting in relationships making him uneasy because several did show up as plot issues. The which one did a friend hook up with episode and the little sister running off with the looser guy for examples. Now there's a Theory for ya, secret Joey triplets actually checks out because it's between Mike and Hank Azaria so perhaps it could be true. Plus Joey has the gene for multiple babies given he comes from big families along with Phoebe being a twin could make for the large amount. Since everyone was too busy with there own issues to think about the time as Ross was in relationship limbo, Rachel was jealous, Chandler and Monica were adapting to their feelings, Plus Phoebe's brother isn't bright while his wife was just excited and focused on maintaining finances, Phoebe could be hiding a bigger secret in her tears. The look Joey has looking at them too....uncle Joey and how Phoebe watched them and cried....he could have been holding their kids unaware and she was keeping him from knowing them just like her parents kept their identities from her. Damn, I want a reunion where when they show up older, the boy is just like Joey and the girls are like Phoebe and Ursula! Just the look on everyone's face if the kid flirts with another kid(like Emma) and says, "How You doin'?" could end the special or movie with Joey and Phoebe looking at each other realizing what she did as it passes over the parent's heads.
William Roberts I think I figured it out. The time in Friends is kinda wonky, but it would have happened in the summer at end season 3 and beginning season 4. Those episodes, coincidentally, are the ones where Phoebe meets her mother, the one who gave her up. The only relationship we know of around that time was the one between her and both Vince and Jason. There could have been another relationship, of course, but from what we see I would say it was one of them, which adds another layer on her meeting her mother and the whole dynamic of being given up.
William Roberts Also, the only one dumb enough to fall for the pregnancy being that short would be her brother, so maybe the whole thing was a ruse for his benefit...
That makes some scary sense. On the point of all the couples ending up together, it always bothered me that Joey was left as the perpetual bachelor. When the writers explored the relationship arc of Joey liking Rachael while they're roommates, the lack of resolution really bothered me because they fit pretty well together, but the whole thing gets dropped unceremoniously so Rachael and Ross can get shoved back together. Honestly though, Phoebe and Joey always made sense as a couple too.
486 beers in 2 years, and he's there every night? by that logic the guy has an average of less than one beer a day, he's fine
Chris Browne season dont necessarily equate to years but either way they still have a point
that are only the beers on his tab, not the ones someone invited him to. plus he is going for just as many beers every day to a different bar too. that adds up.
Exactly but either way if you at a pub every day no matter what else is going on in your life you have some form of problem and most likely need help in one form or another.
Korthuna fine kids, i was basically getting at the fact that after 2 years (and it is implied that a season is a year, thats how tv works arsehole) of going to a bar every day, a tab of $850 is fucking tiny, i was just surprised that they didn't pick up on that in a video based on maths
Chris Browne multiple bars tho. 1 beer at 4 bars. quadurple the tab
I love how even though he can't do math he still uses logic, knowledge of basketball, and some help to win the conversation
math just proved that Norm averages less than ONE SINGLE BEER a day at Cheers, assuming he never contributes to paying his tab.
aa bbb yes except we don’t know the timescale that cheers uses for season to season. So those two seasons could have been a year or it could have been a few months.
He gets freebies too
@@chrisbarrettFilmstudio ah but we do as fraiser exists in the same universe and they crossed over multiple times over the years so the fraiser timescale fits
TheWorstChannelYouKnow fraiser is a spin off of Cheers. That doesn’t mean that the timeline follows the same timeing
I mean, we know it’s not his only bar, and we can assume that he has a similar amount in at least one more bar so we’re looking at a lot more beer
I actually did this math analysis for Full House. Danny Tanner is 29 when the series starts because in season 1 he celebrates his 30th birthday and his eldest daughter is about 12 so he had DJ when he was 17. Then there's the fact that he's a newscaster but he's not anchor or any high position, he's the sports reporter at the late night news so he shouldn't be earning that much money yet he has a house, not an apartment, in San Francisco, the most expensive town in the country.
masterYoshimistsu the Uncle and the life insurance money appear to be paying for that house. Also, government subsidies for a high number of dependants would shore up their budget to some degree, but the money would have to run out sometime...
masterYoshimistsu DJ was ten. He had her at 19. Also he & Pam (the mom) could have worked & saved like crazy. No one knows what her job was. It (the house) also could have been left to them in a will. Who knows?
I hated Full House so I don't know for sure, but isn't helping with bills part of the reason he has the other two guys move in?
It was also before the Tech industry ruined SF. Also He had two more adults move in to "help"
He would have bought the house before his wife died before the tech boom when San Francisco was a more affordable city. His Friend and Brother in Law move in to help out likely both fiscally and with the kids. It was the premise of the show after all.
Plus, Rachel was turning 28 in season 2, yet she turned 30 in season 8. She wants to quit her job at Central Perk and says 'I just don't want to be 30 and still working here.' Chandler responds, 'Because that would be so much worse than being 28 and still working here.'
Episode in season 8 and they're all celebrating her 30th birthday, while she's dating that Tag guy. I mean. What is up with that?
bensley56 i think Chandler was just making a joke about her finality about "30".
she was the youngest
Frasier only shows a fraction of the days in his life, so he could have seen Frederick lots of time without us knowing.
Also there are a couple of episodes of Frasier where he has just come in from Boston after spending a weekend with Frederick.
Lost in the edit.
Yeah, all the sitcom timeline nuts seem to forget that we're not seeing literally 24/7/365 of these characters' lives. There's plenty of time for them to have done stuff offscreen. Like just because we see the characters on Friends in Central Perk a lot doesn't mean they don't work. We don't have to see EVERY SINGLE TIME a divorced dad sees his son, or every time someone is working.
edward layer i believe there’s an episode that says that Fredrick spends his summers with Frasier, which we don’t see.
He's a non-custodial parent. Bitch is basically dumping on him for moving on with his life after the divorce (or at least trying to), the same way she's dumping on Nile for getting out of a loveless marriage. Change the Crane brothers to the Crane sisters and she'd be all for it.
486 beers over two years is less than a beer a day.
IFStravinsky has to do the maths myself when I heard it. I wouldn’t call that close at all to being a bad habit
I think the point is obviously that math indicated he should have had far fewer beers, but the show obviously showed him having many more.
As well as that only happening in the one bar in Cheers. Norm went to, at least, one other bar enough to be well known.
naww she said 2 seasons,i thought the same thing at first
He does pay cash on occasion.
If they wanted to rip the math on Friends, they could have looked at Phoebe, Monica and Rachel affording that very nice apartment in New York on a masseuse, part time chef and waitress' salary.
To be fair, that was Ross and Monica's grandmothers apartment, I think?
I thought the apartment was rent controlled.
Normally I'd agree, but it's sort of a running joke that the only way they can afford the apartment is because it was Ross and Monica's grandmothers, and at the time that she rented it, it was under rent control and was way, way less expensive. That does however bring up the point, how can the boys afford their apartment? Joey's only steady jobs in the show are his stints on Days of Our Lives -there were two different ones- and a couple of low budget plays, and Chandler ends up jobless at least twice for a while -after he quit the accounting job, and after he quit working at the same place as Rachael.
How I Met Your Mother had the same issue. They had a nice 2 bedroom Apartment in NYC which looked very big. There where seasons where Ted, or Marshall where unemployed, and Lilly is a Teacher most of the series.
It's noted multiple times that chandler made insane money at his original job and save A LOT by living relatively frugally. I don't remember the number, but Joey owed him thousands in rent and he was able to pay for his wedding essentially out of pocket. I just remember Monica freaking out when she found out his savings. ALSO, chandler's parents are a famous romantic novelist and a Las Vegas drag performer. PLUS, Ross and Monica's parents are loaded. other than Phoebe and Joey, the show is about a bunch of rich jerks living it easy in new york. Which brings up the biggest issue, how the hell does Phoebe have her own apartment and decent one at that? She works as a masseuse and has a few odd jobs. So unless she is an insanely popular masseuse or has a secret roommate that is very rarely mentioned, she shouldn't be living as well as she is.
But you're ignoring the fact that the doctors must have either checked her womb to make sure it was hospitable or had an ultrasound so she could have been pregnant already or they would have seen it. And with triplets, she would have been showing already by five months. The Friends writers just don't understand the concept of time.
Hey, this is Math, ok? Biology is next door.
The writers know math, and pregnancy. They were counting on the extra summer months during which the show was off the air to help Phoebe come to "full term". Their screw up was in saying that Rachel was only gone for two weeks after the wedding. They should have just had her be gone for the whole summer. That kind of self-absorption would have been totally in character.
But, even if Phoebe did fake it all, she would have just bribed the fertility doctor to say it was their kids, anyway. So, it still works.
Triplets are commonly born early, with the average being around 33 weeks. Thirty-three weeks is 7 1/2 months.
Amanda yeah but the time between the supposed conception and the birth was 4 months
This is the best show Cracked ever had... and they let it go. I've watched every episode like 3 times over the years.
I’ve always wondered if the 9 appearances of Frederick only accounted for his actual appearances or if they also included all the times it implied he saw Frederick. Multiple episodes suggest that he either is just getting back from Boston or preparing to go to Boston. Where he would have almost definitely spent time with his son.
That 70s show. Yeah, after 8 Christmas specials they were still in high school
😂🤣😂 Kelso was so smart he could still be in high school.
I can just imagine Math teachers everywhere showing this to their students and yelling
"SEE... MATH MATTERS!"
It really MATHers
As a math teacher i'm tempted to show my students this but they're high schoolers so they may only understand the Friends one.
The real math in friends is that a waitress, a busker, and a chef can afford a 1500sqft 3 bed penthouse in Manhattan which would at the time have probably cost $4000 a month. More than they all earned together.
When Monica’s apartment was under her grandma’s name. So that probably covered some of the cost. Monica and Phoebe made just enough for the rest of it. Rachael in the beginning was mostly a guest until she became more independent.
Phoebe wasn't just a busker, she was also a massus (I know I spelled that wrong)
@@mythicsb5170 plus, wasn't Phoebe a stock broker (or something to that effect) before she became the free spirit we all remember? I recall a "What If?"-style episode (can't remember what the point of divergence from the series was, but something had or hadn't happened to change things) where she had a heart attack because of her stressful job, and I always assumed that she had a ton of cash sitting around to help pay for rent.
WRONG, wrong, wrong!
Norm's tab was EXCEEDED BY $850 so, a $500 tab for Norm was 'locked' by Rebeccah at $1,350.
Simpler math!
$1337* divided by $1.75 = 764 Beers divided by 730 days = a little over 1 beer a day.
This is not counting for him settling his tab off screen.(Though, Due to him not having a job I think it's safe to say he never does.)Or how big his tab is to Gary's or any other bars he probably goes too.
*I'm using the $837 that she ACTUALLY says in the episode.
What you got there is textbook alcoholism.
So if it doesn’t have a job and the average person is awake for like 15 16 hours and he only drinks one beer at each bars he goes to and hangs out for at least and hour so that’s 15 a day if he on a strict schedule. It takes less than an hour to process 12 oz of beer which means he never actually gets drunk and has enough time to let is body process the beer safely. He not a drunk so much as he a legit bum looking for hand outs all the time
@@acemcwolf5445 1 beer a day is nothing.
@@theman4884 Yeah, Considering My and Sterling's Math, Everyone keeps thinking Norm is this standout guy who's just down on his luck, When in truth, He's nothing but a lazy bum, Who spends his day drinking beer that's being put on tabs he has NO intention of paying, AND later on, Actually squatting in one of said bars like a penniless hobo.
"Where does my poop go when I don't poop?"
After Hours asks all the important questions
asked*
Yup! The body absorbs it and disposes of it in other ways. Which is why, if you have a runny poo coming, if you suck it back as hard as you can, your body will get the message and absorb it into the body to dispose of it some other way. Which means that later you poo will be harder and dryer. Not advisable though.
Just as if you stifle a fart, the body absorbs it and expels it through your breath. It has to escape somehow and the body just re-routes it via the path of least resistance LOL!
486 beers over two seasons (im assuming each season is a year) works out at 4 and two thirds pints a WEEK. That puts norm's drinking safely within FDA recommendations. The only mystery is why Norm is spending so much time at the bar if he's having less than a pint a day
See, that's the problem. It's not his drinking, it's that his life is spiraling out of control and no one acknowledges it or helps him. He is one episode away from living in a refrigerator box.
That plus this is just his outstanding tab. He probably paid for some of the beer every once in a while. So really its the 486 beer, plus whatever he was able to pay for, plus whatever he got elsewhere
Dooder Hooder Could be really expensive beer.
I'm pretty sure that, IF the FDA has recommendations on beer consumption, it's probably 0.
Not really recommendations likely meant that "Sure if you wanna drink, you should probably stay within theses guidelines" rather than the FDA saying go out and get hammered.
I miss these guys. 😢

122 days with out beers.
That's around 3-4 months that he doesn't drink
Actually, that's only 486 beers on his tab.
Kiersten Simpson there's also the other bars he frequents with the same frequency to be known just as well as at cheers
Plus that's how much he bought not mentioning any times someone else paid for it.
Actually, that's just how many times he got a beer that he couldn't buy. He'd buy some, get some on his tab, and others would be bought for him.
They cut the tab off because it was nearing $850, but it was actually $837 in the clip they showed us. I'm not blaming them because anyone who was reading the description on Wikipedia or IMDb.
-- Spoiler Alerts Ahead (Sorry Internet) --
But wait, Norm's tab only gotten cleaned when Sam had regained ownership of the bar in Season 8, Episode 26 "Cry Harder," which was obviously after Season 6, and as I recall, Norm's tab hasn't been cleaned prior to the Season 6, Episode 6 "Paint Your Office" where he had to settle the $837 tab. Between the airing of the first episode and Season 6, Episode 6, there were 1,631 days and he would be closer to having 424 beers if you take into account the sales tax in Boston and other implications. So that's 1,207 days without beers. Food items like Chicken Wings, Pretzels, etc he has eaten over the course of the show would have also contributed to his weight and tab. It's safe to assume he isn't an alcoholic.
I *demand* a sequel entirely about Michael's pooping habits.

The worst part about the whole "those babies were Phoebe's" is that she knew they were hers, it killed her to give them up but she did. Even more worse, her brother and his wife had to have known that Phoebe was having the babies way to early for them to be viable, and yet they came out healthy. They had to have known they were their babies but they took them from Phoebe anyway, without saying anything.
What assholes.
@Dawn ooof, if that was the case that would mean she agreed for them to take her babies because she thought they'd be better off, which also sucks!
@Dawn maybe not? phoebe wasnt really secretive about her sex life (i dont think anyone was?) so she wouldnt need to save face. unless u mean she was scared her friends would find out she didn't/doesnt use protection?
OR she was worried about the possibility of having to publicly give up her kids (since she was too far along for an abortion) and getting judged for that. oh yikes this just keeps getting sadder 😨
"too early", not "to early".
@@greywolf7577 sure thing fam, great addition to the discussion.
I always wondered how Norm got away with pounding 8+ beers a night when he’s mostly unemployed lol
Seeing Soren get broken bit by bit is heartbreaking. Poor Soren.
**hugs Soren**
**receives a bag of jewels**
This is my favorite episode. For the record, everyone was too absorbed by their own self destructive behavior to help Norm. I love Cheers, but those people had problems. Ultimately Norm was/is okay-there was an episode that outlined how much he liked being a everyday, average guy. He didn't mind that he was a chubby, beer drinking guy without lofty aspirations.
Friends is notorious for having the most goofy, effed up timeline anyway. I mean Ross says he's 29 three years in a row, Chandler and Rachel meet like 5 times etc. The writers didn't care about continuity in the show
Daniel's got some minor reality powers. He's probably the reason the title cards show up and the internal imagery of the others' minds and the timeline things.
The one thing that always got to me about Friends was how Ross could have graduated one year before Monica (we know this because Ross is in college as a Freshman when Rachel and Monica are going to their senior prom) and have skipped the fourth grade (mentioned a couple of times throughout the show's run), which - even at 10-12 months difference in age - should have meant that Ross should have been two years ahead of Monica (and Rachel) in school, since we also know Monica and Rachel were in the same homeroom together with Louise (the one where Marcel runs away) and therefore were almost definitely in the same grade. Unless Monica also skipped a grade (never brought up) or Ross took a year off after high school (unlikely). How are these two only one grade apart when the older brother skipped a grade?
was one of them a summer baby? depending on school district, kids born as early as june might miss the cut-off date for entering kindergarten and start school a year later.
It's hard to say. Ross's birthday is kind of unknown. He states twice that his birthday is Oct. 18, but early in the series, when Chandler and Joey want to take Ross to a hockey game on Oct. 20 for this birthday, Ross say something like "Thanks, but my birthday was seven months ago". Also, at one point, Ross starts to tell Gunther that his birthday is in December (according to the wikia Friend's article on Ross).
We don't really know when Monica's birthday is during the year. I suppose 9-10 months after an October birth would be around August, so it's possible.
Although, according to that article, it could make sense that perhaps Ross did take some time off between high school and college in order to "work on his dancing", which is brought up in the last episode.
I can't believe I'm trying to think this much about Friends.
or that I even know this much about Friends...
Let's be honest, Ross is definitely enough of a dweeb and the favorite child to take a year off from school to "work on his dancing" or "workshop his band" with Chandler and it be totally okay with Jack and Judy. Monica, in her competitive nature, probably used that year to catch up academically, or at least that's my guess.
Friends is awful with ages, I've calculated it a few times and the ages are never consistent. If you do want to try and makes sense of it though, homerooms in many high schools (including mine) aren't always separated by grade and one of the girls could have been a junior dating a senior, thus allowing them to go to prom (I don't think it was Rachel, she mentions how it was her prom). This means Monica might have been two grades below Ross and one below Rachel. However, there is so many contradicting episodes in Friends that I can literally refute every conclusion I've drawn.
G Mo They must be twins.
Why is Cracked posting at 2:30 in the morning? Sleep you guys
lol its Afterhours, my friend
Catherine George 05:30 on the east coast. Worms for early birds. These virgin comment sections have the sexiest Nar. You just want to get in there and say the most offensive backwards shit you can but sometimes, you remember, you're an adult 😖
Well that's in the morning in England, maybe they use GMT
Maybe they schedule their uploads automatically and time zones have nothing to do with it
Ever heard of time zones? You're not the only place on Earth.
The problem with Frasier is that in a custody battle it would have probably gone on for their child's entire life, as they are both well off but still on equal footing there. Then there is also the fact that it is mentioned several times that Lillith is a very good mother and that the men she does end up dating, from what we see, are also good men to have in Freddie's life. So yes, while Frasier does spend his entire time chasing girls and other stuff, it is shown that when Freddy visits he's a great father, willing to do and drop everything for his son. Further, during the 1990s it was almost impossible for a father to get sole custody, nevermind in a situation where the mother is perfectly healthy and capable. I agree with your other observations, but you cannot literally ignore the entire facet of the show where they specifically show that Frasier goes out of his way to be there for his son, in a way that doesn't see Frasier and Lillith at each other's throats every waking moment. Hell, they even say that Frasier and Lillith divorcing greatly improved Freddie's mental health.
I miss this series, it was amazing
Katie's hair is my heart and soul
Why isn't this the only series Cracked makes.
Connor Powell Rom.Com and We're Not Alone were pretty good.
More like why doesn't Swaim ditch this show and get back to CrackedTV/Does Not Compute? Both of which were unquestioningly better than After Hours, which started off good but has since plummeted.
Connor Powell because only doing one show will appeal to not as many people as they're trying to market to. personally I think the majority of their content is amazing.
Yeah Swaim should do Does Not Compute again.
Still
Waiting
And

Melancholy
I miss Cracked videos so much.
The friends one only works if you assume they gave the season tickets to Joey in March, with a month left in the season. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be given the tickets in November, when the basketball season actually begins, when season passes are the most valuable? That would mean the pregnancy carried from February to November, which is nine months, too.
More importantly *someone* would have noticed if the pregnancy had only lasted 7 months. The OBGYN would have freaked out.
The positive same day pregnancy test however? Very suspicious.
Did I just see Swaim's bearded face in a crowd reaction shot from Chapelle's new comedy special "Age of Spin"?
I think you did. I came here to ask this as well.
"As long as we're throwing logs on the fire..." Lmao, priceless 🤣
I forgot about this series and now I miss these 😢
OBJECTION! Several sports teams will sell their season tickets a year in advance as to give people a chance to make the most of them. So there is nothing to say that those season tickets were for that year's season.
Overruled. In the episode Phoebe gives birth, her doctor says that it is Fonzie’s half birthday. Fonzie’s birthday is October 30th, making his half-birthday late-April/Early May.
Throw a Chair woah didn’t expect the Fonz to help crack the code
@@throwachair4574 Henry Winkler's bday is October 30th, not the Fonz, and the Doctor in the episode doesn't mention Henry at all, just Fonzy....I can find no record of them having the SAME birthday; what is the date of the Fonz's birth?
D H If you can’t find proof that Fonzie has a different birthday than his actor, why would you make that argument?
math, not even once
also, i always found cheers to be really depressing mainly because of norm.
sometimes you wanna go where crippling alcoholism destroys your life.
There's an episode where they point out that, in all likelihood, Cheers is actually just the version of the perfect bar as seen through the eyes of Norm and Cliff, while in reality it's just two drunk losers imagining that they're the best people on the planet, that everyone knows them, loves them, and laughs at all their jokes instead of shaking their heads at these two total dipshits.
Daniel Gehring That's even sadder!
Crimson Doodlebear
If you're looking for something a little more upbeat, there's also the theory that Cheers was an undercover gay bar since it was aired back in the 80's when that sort of thing wasn't mainstream. That's why you rarely see new people and why everyone is happy when they're there.
Daniel Gehring That makes me a little happier, yea, a gay bar sounds nice.
But Norm was pretty happy. If Norm is depressing, think about the lives of the people who are serving him free beers and have to be there sober the whole time he's there just chilling. Seems like he found his most pleasurable and desirable location in life and made it work.
I've recently started watching Community, and I just noticed these guys are basically Jeff, Abed, Troy and Anie.
You should watch the Ninja Turtles episode of After Hours. They talk about the four character types.
It always bothered me, as someone who's watched Frasier more times than I care to admit, that Katie doesn't take into account the times Frasier goes to visit Fredrick. Not just hypotheticals, but episodes that flat out show Frasier either leaving to visit or returning from a visit, or referencing a recent visit with his son. He sees Fredrick waaaay more than he's given credit for in this video
Not to mention the "i hope Nile builds up the courage to cheat on his wife with an illegal alien" because one, she wasn't illegal. She nearly gets in trouble going to canada because she's there legally and not supposed to leave the country. Maris (and Mel) are both horribly abusive and when he tries to leave them, both use money and connections to try to ruin his life and career (so leaving them isn't that simple). Plus, Niles has multiple opportunities to cheat and chooses not to take them BECAUSE he loves his wife and wants to be loyal.
Hate the show all you want Katie but hate it for legitimate reasons you doof.
Not gonna lie. In this crazy time I would love some more After Hours to listen to.
It was called The Cosby Show - but the family's name is Huxtable?!
MJW238 that is a valid point
@@lancep2002 no it's not, it's stupid.
With that hair n that jacket Katie looks like Gerard way from my chemical Romance during the black parade era lol
I thought Gotham season 5 Barbara Kean.
I love the heck out of this episode. Great enough grasp on math is an asset to both life and pop culture.
This episode will always have a special place in my heart as the first after hours video I ever saw. Ah, what humble beginnings!
I'm so early! I understand now! The need to comment about my own earliness even though it obviously doesn't matter! The ability to be one of the first! The power... it's intoxicating!
17thLocke UNLIMITED POWER!!!
Ha, I just saw Michael Swaim in the audience of Dave Chappelle's new Netflix comedy special.
I Haven't watched any of these videos in at least a year. Yall still got it! Keep up the good work!
just becase we only saw Fredrick only 9 times on the show doesn't mean
Frazier only saw him 9 times
Several episodes contain references to him having just visited Boston to see Frederick.
The zhim he she is annoying
The show wasn't about Father son bonding we were not going to see him.
This is such a great series. Thank you Cracked.
I get that people are understandably mad at Bill Cosby *now*, but how could you hate The Cosby Show itself? That was one of the most wholesome shows on television, and one of the funniest. In fact, whenever I go shopping next, I'm gonna buy myself some Puddin' Pops.
Best show ever!
Idk about ThePapermage, but I am not under thirty.
@@flamboyantwarlock7101 I am under thirty and have loved the show since I was a teenager. I dislike family sitcoms that basically revolve around the husband and wife getting on eachother's nerves or messing up their kids life by being idiots. Yeah, Cosby Show is very wholesome and to me not just funny, but also inspiring. I do get how it could be considered boring, but it was never boring to me.
Flamboyant Warlock 21 and watched every season about 3 times now. Have it on DVDs too.
I agree it was the writers, producers, and directors show. The actors just act it out.
I love how these people always worked so comedically well off one another
I just can't help but be happy from hearing Soren's joy over figuring something out with math himself.
The thing with frasier does not really count though since with the episodes we only see the highlights of Frasier's life in those years. We don't see everything he does so I assume he sees his son plenty between the episodes. Same for Ross seeing his son Ben.
Otherwise you might as well make a case for none of these characters ever using the toilet because we never see them do that on the show.
Off topic and probably not that remarkable: I was watching the new Chappelle series on Netflix and who's face do I see on camera laughing and clapping in the crowd? None other than Mr. Michael Swaim.
2019 here.....and the math about Cosby.....wow, just wow. thats not "hitting the nail on the head"....thats smashing that nail through the board, into the ground, through the earth and out the other side into space, where said nail hits an asteroid and diverts its course directly at earth thus destroying all of humanity...........*slowclap
There is one glitch in their math: they assume Cliff Huxtable went to college at 18. It seems pretty clear that Cliff, like Bill Cosby, went to college after serving in the Navy. So he didn't pick his college based on where the 12 year old girl he was interested in wanted to go in six years, but based on where the 16 year old girl he was dating wanted to go in two years.
Still creepy, but less so.
You guys need to make more skits/ a television show together you have a hilarious extremely entertaining dynamic/rapport
Okay, let's apply this to another show. Ruin Family Matters with math! Go!
Bomber Jac in Family Matters the household has exactly 1 father. But we all know that black households have 0 fathers. MATH.
The Frasier - Frederick issue collapses as soon as you accept that the show does not chart every day of Frasier's life.
"Haven't you ever wondered why we are allowed to stay here so late after they've closed?"
"Oh yeah. Hey, they're gonna need to open soon for breakfast."
---Reflection in window clearly shows that "OPEN" neon sign is on.
Great channel! Subscribed!!
Was it my imagination or was Michael Swain at the Chappelle special. That dude looked really familiar
Nope you are correct it was indeed him a little after the 24 minute mark.
i think it was a hint that he will be in an after hours! ;p
holy shit I was wondering that myself. Thank you internet
dhruv malhotra he was I saw him also!
It was, think i saw Katie next to him as well, i might be wrong
JUST SAW MICHAEL ON THE DAVE CHAPPELLE NETFLIX SPECIAL.
I used to love this show and this channel. So sad it's gone
2020 and still watching these❤🔥💯
How about how Homer is about 40 years old, Bart is 10 years old, Marge got pregnant with Bart right out of high school. Unless Homer was held back 10 years or so (I suppose that's possible), it doesn't add up how Homer is as old as he is or that Bart is as young as he is.
Trying to apply math/continuity to the Simpsons is like trying to apply the effects of time dilation to the crew of the Enterprise.
isn't homer in his 30's?
Bart is actually in his 20's and AD HD has held him back in school so he only graduates each grade every other year. Being classic child stars both Bart and Lisa suffer from drug induced dwarfism that makes them look smaller and younger than anybody notices.
BlinksAwakening well maggie has been a baby since the beginning of the show and no one has grown so it will never make sense
Cliff Huxtable served in the U.S. Navy before going to medical school. Traditionally, that's a five-year commitment. Therefore he could have served between three and five years in the Navy while she was still growing up. A sixteen-year-old Clair is at least more understandable for Cliff to fall in love with, compared to her at twelve.
the exchange between dan and katie at 4:17 is hands down my favorite after hours moment of all time i almost peed myself laughing
Every once in a while I rewatch this and remember the 7/4 bit is my favorite bit of all time
