Cracked.com is an American comedy website that started originally in 1958 as one of the many humor magazines intended to cash in on the popularity of Mad magazine. Cracked proved to be one of the most durable imitators of its popular counterpart.

However, the last paper issue was printed in February 2007, and the brand now exists only in an internet format.

Cracked.com and furry[edit]

Cracked.com has mentioned furries several times on its website:

  • Furry Fandom gets their welcome on Cracked via their Cracked Topics (beta) section with the following introduction:
   
Cracked.com
 Furry Fandom... Furrys, Furfags, Furfaggots, or those sick fucks who corrupted my childhood. We all know them but do you know about them... if yes you are a far braver man than I as i sit typing this crying quietly to myself[1]
