It used to be a good site when Jay Pinkerton was at the helm, but since David Wong got involved it has descended into some kind of pseudo political-philosophical commentary site with a few jokes in there somewhere.
It's one of the sites I visit daily. Love Dan O'brien's and Robert Brockway's articles (and Seanbaby is good every so often) and Swaim's videos (Gladstone's, too, but they're lower key than I usually go for).
And the guest articles are usually pretty damn good, of course. I still re-read stuff like The 7 Most Badass Last Stands in History or <url=http://www.cracked.com/article_14982_9-manliest-names-in-world.html>The 9 Manliest Names in the World every so often.
The Agents of Cracked web series was hysterical. As for the rest of the website, I try not to visit too often lest I fail to notice I've spent the entire day browsing Cracked. TV Tropes doesn't really seem to have that effect on me, probably because I don't know or care about so many of the things they mention for each trope that I can escape via concentrated indifference.
Cracked makes me laugh and kills time between cradle and grave. So, yeah, thumbs-up from me. Though it would get a bigger thumbs-up if certain writers relied less on transphobic humor... but they've been better about it lately.
I love Cracked, their lists are hilarious. It's a party mainstay for me and my friends to read some of 'em. Probably the only occurence of all of us taking enjoyment in reading time.
I go there one or two times per day, most likely looking for something Swaim has created, photoshop contests ( some of them are pure gold, i say!) and the craptions.
A fun website indeed.
Cracked-- I'd be lying if I said they didn't get the job done. I love the lists, I love the articles, and I love the videos. All things considered, I think Swain is my favorite of the bunch. My favorite article of all time is...Well, blast. I got nothing.
Also, am I the only one who caught the Dr. McNinja reference in the poll?
I visit Cracked for the Photoshop Contest/Craptions. If the articles seem interesting enough I'll read it, but the quality of the lists seem to be getting worse and worse.

Cracked is one of my many internet addictions, there have been many a times when I go there to check the daily article and end up finding an article i haven't read, oh hey look there's another, and another, and another.
Apart from this, my homepage, and Google, Cracked is my most frequented site. It's hilarious, while at the same time being educational (most of the time, anyway).
