Ranked: Top 5 Lists of Stuff That Don't Matter

Come under our musical mistletoe this Christmas! It’s that time of the year again for the Ranked Christmas/Holiday special! It’s also that time of the year where you cannot escape the magic of holiday music everywhere you go! While many (MANY) artists have put out their own renditions of holiday classics and originals, only some songs have stood the test of time and found a special way in our hear...

10 years of movies, that can't be THAT hard to Rank right?...right? The 2010 decade is coming to an end and, looking back, the movie landscape has shifted and changed drastically in the last 10 years. The Twenty-Tens gave rise to streaming, obligatory sequels, reboots, and shared universes; while many smaller indie films struggled to break through the box office. The amount of content we face thes...

The best cheap beer that money can buy. Budget beers have been a staple for students, parties, camping, sports, and so much more since the dawn of beer. However, these days it's all about fancy 'shmancy' craft beers that are intricately poured with just the right amount of hops and unique flavors, which has been leaving our dear old friends ignored on that beer fridge shelf. Well not today! Today...

We Rank in Peace, Earthlings. Space. Another frontier of fictional characters we have not yet fully explored on Ranked yet.

Join Tuong La and Exotic Extraterrestials Rich Hilborn...

History may have forgotten them, but we haven't. Thanks to the internet and some high school classes, there have been historical people and their accomplishments that have stood the test of time.

This week join Tuong La and Wikipedia Wizards Sarah Finn, Catherine Ballachey, a...

Tsck…pshh…fwshhhhhhhhh..fizzzzz Hear that? That’s the satisfying sound you get when you pop open a fizzy drink of goodness that’s about to be chugged down.

*Cue opening title crawl* Movie themes have become an integral part of the movie experience, even though they sometimes can be overshadowed by the film it’s representing.  When done right, the theme can be as iconic as the film itself turning a good movie into one that is remembered for all time.

22 films that we love 3000! 11 years ago there was an idea, an idea to create a shared universe of remarkable movies based on comic books that would change everything in pop-culture and cinema as we know it. Like it or not, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not only the largest franchise in movie history but also has redefined genres, reinvigorated comics, and inspired people all over the world. Wi...

Ranking Super Powers is our Endgame. Today we are celebrating 11 years of the MCU and superhero pop culture by giving our take on an aged old question: “What are the best super powers?”.

On this year's Valentine's special Tuong La and Love Birds Laura Gordon, Niva...

Listen we all love fast food. No matter who you are you can't deny the instant gratification of eating a greasy burger with fries from your favorite fast food joint.
