The Price You Pay to Be Poor

Slacktivist Fred Clark on the "poverty surcharge," and other ways the banks screw us. (from 2009.)

Also, "5 Things Nobody Tells You about Being Poor," and "The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor," from Cracked

Cracked on Work

David Wong's "How 'The Karate Kid' Ruined the Modern World."

Spoiler Alert: wax on, wax off.

Cracked on Jobs

David Wong's "9 Types of Jobs That Will Destroy Your Soul."

Seven Ballsy Pranks

"The Seven Ballsiest Pranks You Won't Believe Actually Worked."

The writing is fair, but the pranks are excellent. Of course, Cracked posted this on April Fools', so I'm a little skeptical, particularly of the Ghost Army (#1), about which I can't find much more information. What I have found, however, will be posted shortly.
