- Blankford, on 01/15/2008, -9/+56as popular as you are on digg, cracked.com, you'd think you
could get your ***** together and put it all on
1 PAGE!
but gosh dangit that Fly creature was friggen creepy at the end of that movie. - ieataquacrayons, on 01/15/2008, -1/+31I have a mac, and don't give a ***** about the macworld keynote. BURY ME MAC FANBOYS.
- Grova, on 01/15/2008, -2/+31When they start herding the panicked crowds, look around for one guy who seems to know what he's doing. He may be with an attractive girl (or, again, possibly a group of misfits who have a problem with authority). As long as you're with them, you have a chance. If you're one of the screaming people running around in the background, you're *****.
- angusm, on 01/15/2008, -0/+24It doesn't work like that. Your only real chance is to _be_ the one guy who seems to know what he's doing (or the hot chick). You see, while That One Guy and The Girl will make it through, being one of their hangers-on gives you at best a few more hours or days. If you're just one of the posse, you can expect to be killed off sooner or later to raise the dramatic tension.
If you really want to, you can drag out your life-expectancy by having some distinctive quirk - hangers-on who don't stand out in any way will be gone in minutes. You don't want to be Panicking Guy (always the first to go), but the Likeable Wise-Cracking Comic Sidekick usually goes almost all the way to the end before being brutally killed just when everyone thinks they've got away with it. Your best chance may be to be the Techno Genius who gives the hero the secret formula he needs to save the day; it's no guarantee that you won't get iced in the closing sequence, but you'll go further than everyone else.
Oh, one more thing: if you are a hot chick do not, DO NOT have sex with anyone but the hero, otherwise your ass is toast. Sex = Death. If you can't bed the hero, celibacy is your only option. And if you're a guy and you can't qualify as a Techno Genius, find out which of the hot chicks the hero isn't having sex with, and make out with her. You'll both die, of course, but it'll be over quickly and at least you get to have sex with a hot chick before you go. - Beetlesweb, on 01/15/2008, -1/+17Thing is, i know for a fact i'd be one of the dudes in the background running around screaming.
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+13Let it go dude, its cracked.com :D
ROFL at this in the fifth movie: "When they start herding the panicked crowds, look around for one guy who seems to know what he's doing. He may be with an attractive girl (or, again, possibly a group of misfits who have a problem with authority). As long as you're with them, you have a chance. If you're one of the screaming people running around in the background, you're *****." - kirakun, on 01/15/2008, -0/+12*****! There is a spoiler for I Am Legend. I didn't see that yet. Grrr...
- xister, on 01/15/2008, -1/+13FTA:"For instance, there's an asteroid that will pass really freaking close to Earth in 2029, and if it hit it could land around southern California."
Gee, what a loss that would be... - ElectroBot, on 01/15/2008, -1/+12Bruce Willis (Armageddon, Die Hard 4, The Fifth Element, 12 Monkeys [failed in that one]) and Will Smith (Men in Black, Men in Black 2, I am Legend, Wild Wild West, Independence Day, I Robot) have a lot of experience saving the world. I'm guessing that they've never tried to save the world together because their combined bravado/ego would destroy the world.
- faskill, on 01/15/2008, -3/+13Will Smith dies in the end. His dog dies too... actually, Will Smith kills his own dog. And there are people left.
- merper, on 01/15/2008, -0/+10If the one guy is Samuel Jackson you're in the clear.*
*Unless you're near water. - EnzanBlues, on 01/15/2008, -0/+10"We've reviewed over a dozen hours of robot apocalypse movies and have yet to see a robot swim."
Pretty sure that in I, Robot the robot jumps into the river to save Will Smith from the car that he is trapped in. I guess their dozen hours of robot apocalypse movies didn't include that one, even though it's one of the best robot ones out there. - doctechnical, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9Don't worry, the germs in the air that we're already immune to will take care of the buggers.
- satanatnmtedu, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9The planet will not die from pollution, but humans might. Same thing in fewer words...
- typicalusername, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9I would have appreciated a spoiler for that piece of *****!
- typicalusername, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9The only reason you aren't burried is that they are all masterbating right now. Wait till it gets over...you'll get burried then.
- EvilFerret, on 01/15/2008, -0/+9What? No alien invasion? Let's face it, if aliens ever decide to invade we're royally *****. Throwing water at them will not do anything!!!!
- typicalusername, on 01/15/2008, -0/+8Plus, you get to hear funny expletives...
- GhostyBoy, on 01/15/2008, -2/+9I've read about the asteroid thing a few times before, and it seems like it's bound to happen sooner or later, and will ***** us up large. It's seems realistic that life on this planet won't last forever it's just a matter of how and when.
And I don't want to hear from all the hippies who are like (stupid mocking voice):"Mankind will kill the planet with pollution." Get over yourselves. People are indeed stupid enough to waste insane amounts of resources and pollute the hell out of everything, but we can't kill the world. We will just drastically lower our quality of living on it. - Weip, on 01/15/2008, -2/+9Don't worry digg's user, Bruce Willis will save us from any apocalypses!
- doen, on 01/15/2008, -9/+16So, besides the asteroid and the weird mutant-evolution freaks, there is the most chance of scientists dooming us all. Stupid science.
- monkeyboy7706, on 01/15/2008, -0/+7Thats the benefit of us using Windows, as soon as the buggers access the internet it will be like Independence Day without the need for Jeff Goldblum.
- DiggzDE, on 01/15/2008, -0/+6No, I just have a life.
- JBurds, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5Dugg for Cthulhu.
- toconnor, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5He'll also have a child or pet with him.
- typicalusername, on 01/15/2008, -0/+5How do you know? What if we close doors, and they can't get around them? You don't know!
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -4/+8Science damn you!
- inactive, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4"It’s the end of the world as we know it
and I feel fine." - johlorax, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5Oooooh how I love me some Doom!
- Pilomotor, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5I can't wait to ride a motorcycle through the Louvre.
- iamafurling, on 01/15/2008, -2/+6Wow, I guess the good news is that Hollywood has given us step by steps to combat all of these problems. Its the ones they haven't told us about that I worry about.
- boredsam, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5Katrina was pretty close to post-apoc, why wasn't there a category for "Gross government oversight" in the reasons for apocalypse?
- Chirp08, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5the best is when the site goes down while you are on page 3 of 6 because of digg
- GfunkGbuss, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman?
- BabyWookie, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Turn on the Large Hardon Collider? Sounds kinky.
- blemm, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4Are...are you guys for real? Your attention spans are so short that you loose interest if your reading is interupted for even a second? How do you get through school? Or work? Or watch TV or do anything without your head snapping around like a coked out terrier at a sausage carnival?
Or are you just retarded? - MarsSentinel, on 01/15/2008, -0/+4we will all be eaten by a freaking bacteria because gas prices and Greenies will force us onto public transportation and "bus people" dont wash their hands after they go potty.
Dinosaurs weren't killed by the asteroid. They were killed by....bacteria and virii transmitted by the new top animals on the planet: bugs. Keep up on your paleo-science, people. - Rodalli, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5All this talk about robots and nukes to destroy asteroids. Silly scientists. Everyone knows that if you're about to be hit with Meteor, you just cast Reflect on the planet.
- defektiv, on 01/15/2008, -1/+5'Hollywood filmmakers say this would almost certainly involve some kind of band of misfits who have a problem with authority.'
finally, my life has purpose! - fluidfoundation, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3This is a perfect example of damned if you do, damned if you dont. Sure, we may not have horrid lab created genetic mutations or the whatnot without scientists, but without scientists you have no brainiacs that can get past-their-prime actors into space to blow up asteroids.
- DarkItIs, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3This is one of the funniest articles I've read. FTA: "evolved like *****" hahaha
- chrisbasham, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3I'm tabbing back and forth between Digg and MacRumorsLive.com. Gizmodo is dying, but MRL is nice, since its AJAXing (continuously updating in real-time) the live coverage, better for the servers and the users.
- petebot, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Damn you! You finally did it! You finally blew us up! Damn you!
- gmiley, on 01/15/2008, -1/+4If I were to be given a robot body, I personally would destroy the human race, or at least rule it mercilessly...
- monkeyboy7706, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3So to save the future we really need to either start cloning Bruce Willis or make a robot replacement? After all the current one won't be around forever.
- jstone, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Sorry. I don't have a start menu on my computer. Then again, there isn't a blue apple in the upper left hand corner, either.
- monkeyboy7706, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Life of some sort would probably survive anything short of complete planetary destruction.
Remove all the higher lifeforms and wait a few billion years and there will be new complex life arguing that all these fossilized cars they are digging up are obviously a hoax of some kind placed to test their faith in some god or other. - hollywoodphony, on 01/15/2008, -5/+8Hmmm, it's 9:21 am and the Macworld keynote is going on. I'm guessing everyone reading this right now has a Start Bar on their computer.
- FadieZ, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3Cracked is the *****. 'Nuff sed.
- Linzee82, on 01/15/2008, -0/+3It's called projected path. They know the path of the Earth's orbit, and they know the path of the orbiting asteroid. With some complex planning and math (don't know the specifics) you can get a rough estimate of where it will go. It's just so far into the future that the degree of error makes it difficult to say whether or not it will happen.
