Poll: Cracked.com, or TVTropes

[crudus]

Cracked is more compelling to me. TVtropes has never interested me. I have gone to TVtropes maybe a dozen times and never deviated from the article I was there for.

Cracked has sucked up several hours of my life, but it hasn't made me do multiple 5 hour marathons with 20+ tabs open like TvTropes has.

One of my TAs described it as a blackhole which will suck up your life and time that you should be spending on homework. I mentioned it in an off-handed comment once and he was hooked. He now uses it in his lectures.

TvTropes by a million points.

Idk, it's hard to compare the two. Cracked gives me articles about the evil perpetrated by dolphins, while TVTropes tells me about the portrayal of dolphins in fiction.

I have read Cracked everyday for the past 3 years. I also have read every single article that site has at one point in time. I have been to TVTropes, but I get bored after browsing it for a while.

Both.

I like reading articles on Cracked, and I like reading a bunch of stuff on TV Tropes about other stuff.

Most badass (X)s, things that have to do with the military, and movie badasses being a particular favorite on Cracked; and things I'm actually interesting in reading before I end up reading stuff until about 5 A.M. on TV Tropes being a particular favorite as well.

They're both great websites. Also, a preemptive screw you to the OP because you linked me to Cracked. I was planning on wasting my day playing Minecraft, but that isn't going to happen now.
Damn it, now I need to look up everything that has to do with MacGyver on both sites now...

TV Tropes... It's gonna ruin your life, I believe... There's a trope about that somewhere...

 

[Yeager942]

Definitwly cracked. Sooooooo much wasted time.

 

[Alssadar]

I prefer TV tropes as I have already sucked more than 10+ hours with more than 7 tabs open at once, exploring certain characteristics and ideals that can suit stories (which I do like to make...)
Cracked is often just "X of Y that Z," with results in weak items that I personally don't find that amusing.

 

[Risingblade]

Cracked, I hate TV tropes.

 

[The Random One]

I visit cracked.com daily, on account on its having, you know, daily articles, as opposed to tv tropes. Not much fun on browsing when I've already read everything.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

When I read TvTropes, I just star at the article, drewling a bit, thinking how people could find it such a timesink. I have no thought to open another tab related to the article, since they're usually just so... uninteresting to me.

Cracked is different. Cracked is fun to read, has actual pictures, is pretty funny, and has the most useless but entertaining stuff to read.

 

[Laser Priest]

TV Tropes. It interests me, plus I generally find things on it that I missed or didn't know before.

Cracked can be good, but it seems a lot of their articles are acts of desperation.

 

[nonl33t m4st3r]

I read Cracked when I feel the need to laugh, and TV Tropes when I feel the need for intelligent reading.

 

[evilneko]

I pretty much live on TvTropes (well, partly because of an RP). I even edit trope pages.

 

[superdelux]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH LINK TO CRACKED AND TVTROPES!!!! DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OT: TVTropes is a bit better in my opinion.

 

[game-lover]

Hm... I might go with both.

Cracked and TVTropes are each respectively new sites to me. And every time I've visited each on impulse, I'll be there forever.

 

[TehCookie]

xkcd has a comic about everything.

I was stuck on that site all day yesterday. You can't just leave you have to read every tab which opens more tabs and it never ends!

[j0frenzy]

I tend to find Cracked a little too incendiary and prejudiced. They seem to think all their readers are young males with aggression problems and visions of manliness. So, I guess TVTropes by default, though Not Always Right is by far my preferred internet time sink.

 

[Aiddon_v1legacy]

Cracked, TV Tropes has a bad habit of being a sulking ground for way too many angry trolls

 

[Unfairestsquid]

Given the choice i would pick cracked because while TV tropes covers almost every type of media in existence cracked covers almost any topic in existence so theirs more stuff to hold my attention but on the other hand TV tropes has the better app because you don't need WiFi to use it
