It's as though there's some sort of group who sits around and comes up with what they think is the most unbelievable scenarios possible, and then markets them to idiots and laughs when they buy into them.

More like see that chicken? That used to be a small chicken-like dinosaur. You can tell due to anatomical similarities between dinosaurs and most birds such as the legs being positioned under the body rather than off to the side and feathers. We can even show that chickens used to have teeth via genes that would code for teeth but have been turned off in chickens.

Crocodiles and Alligators are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.

The truth is that all biological classifications are ultimately arbitrary, and the more specific you get the more arbitrary they get. You could sort of argue that the Kingdoms of life are meaningful and significant distinctions, but anything more than that is pretty much just slapping labels and grouping things up based on what looks good without really good rules or reasons.

vertebrates vs invertebrates I would argue is pretty solid.

They used to be OK for a fun read-- they are such crap now.
