  1. douche says:

    too many boat images

  2. RedWhiteAndBoom says:

    Hahaha oh man…Failboat is always the best. I love these recurring ones.

  3. Dark says:

    Failboat, gettin’ down to buisness.

  4. Zeros says:

    Those boats are homes for those Burmese people, a bit harsh in calling it a fail.

  5. Anonymous says:

    Yeah, seems a bit tasteless to make fun of the Burmese hurricane victims.
    We could all put up pictures of Katrina victims, but then the CIA would come and get us…

  6. Dan says:

    Looks like the puerto in San Juan, Guatemala.

    They hold a lot of drug smuggling ships there; many of them rot out and sink before they can be destroyed. Very strange sight, if you care to go see.

  7. AussieBird says:

    If it’s not ok to make fun of boats sunk by hurricanes, fair enough. But then why is it ok to make fun of oil tankers sinking or people with javelins through their feet or their heads on fire, or being bitten in the face by something? It’s all a sliding scale of tastelessness and you’re drawing a fairly arbitrary line there, Zeros and Anonymous.

  8. jesus people, theyre not making fun of the crisis in burma, theyre making fun of the failboat. How do you even know that this is burma? You fail.

  9. chacharles says:

    righthandgenius, everytime anyone makes fun of another person’s home wreckage is a fail

  10. Dark says:

    Hey, it’s part of human nature to laugh at other people’s problems.

    Most people laugh when you hear a joke when somebody gets hurt/screwed over (eg “a man runs into a bar. He wakes up in hospital a day later”). Some people have more of this fault than others, such as peopel whio laugh when other peopel have serious problems, such as a destroyed house. Others have even more of this fault, commonly known as torturers.

    It’s quite similar to sado-masochism.

  11. Dark says:

    PS: The germans actually have a word for this: Schadenfreude, enjoyment taken from the misfortune of someone else.

  12. Dark says:

    PPS: Wikipedia says we have a word for this too: Epicaricacy.

  13. RedWhiteAndBoom says:

    Comments 5-13: Fail.

  14. Keelhaul says:

    Classify it, analyze it, call it what you will……..
    The Failboat has always been my love…
    and it always will.
    The Failboat….keeping humanity in check , now, and forever.

  15. spinachflame says:

    That’s sanitary.

    Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

  16. Plato says:

    Zeros, considering that so many boats are not sunk, and one looks like it ran into another, I don’t think it was Burma. Quick making assumptions that just because they are not white, and there was a disaster in a non-white country, that must be a picture of the disaster, you racist bastard.

  17. JPA says:

    This was from Burma the major news sites have had this pic up off and on.

  18. Anonymous says:

    #12 fail for even considering wikipedia

  19. Nate says:

    #12 fail for even considering wikipedia.

    Failboat lives for ever!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Homer says:

    FAIL-BOAT!!! FAIL-BOAT!!

    (read that like the d-fence chant at football games)

  21. Insanus says:

    #27 You are a flawless failure.

    Failboat rust in peace. You are in my heart buddy.

  22. NathanB says:

    Failboat knows not of bad taste.
    Failboat knows only fail.

  23. Anonymous says:

    stop fail boats, its booooooring

  24. The Wordmaster says:

    failboat always comes through. oh how i love thee failboat on how you can always make me smile.

    i suggest making a failboat tee. if you want some help with it, i wouldn’t mind helping design it. haha

    just imagining someone walking around with a failboat shirt is hilarious

  25. Dark says:

    I find this very Offensive and demand it be taken down.

    Just kidding it’s hilarious

  26. Zeros says:

    fair comment AussieBird #9, i have no argument it is a grey line that i am drawing. But just one thing, most failboats picture have no direct connection to people (big oil tanker… abandoned shipwrecks), as opposed to this one showing people livelihood destroyed.

    Plato you low life, get your facts right. Call me biased, out-of-place in failblog or whatever you like. I just happened to be a Burmese living in australia, so i really do think i at least have the right to show some sympathy to my countryman.

    Boats looks like being ran into each is becoz they were blown off their mooring and into each other. FOOL

  27. Spencer says:

    Everyone arguing about the morality of this picture is a fail.

  28. Insanus says:

    I’m not arguing. #35 is on a Failling Spree.

  29. When I saw the post title, I read “Failboat: Pandering to the Lolcats”.

  30. Dark says:

    I’m just pointing out that it might not be something that teh people in the pic would laugh about, but only because they are in it. Others laugh at it because of teh “fault” (yes, I used the word sarcastically) that I mentioned.

    Nate, I only used Wiki to get teh correct spelling for Schadenfreude cause I don’t speak German.

    And Fake Dark, stop calling yourself Dark…

  31. Paper Aeroplane says:

    dark, i dont like your style :(

    you fail

  32. Bright says:

    *Mayanmar

  33. Keelhaul says:

    I pander to lolcats……but I’m seeking help.
    i can haz therapy?????

  34. Insanus says:

    Lolzcats you mean?

  35. ausador says:

    Hmmm….I count four failboats…..

    Whole lot of fail in one photo. :)

  36. spinachflame says:

    There’s totally a second boat prow sticking out of the water to the right.

    Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

  37. *sigh* too many polotics ruining failboat….

    The point is, its a boat, its a failboat. Therfore it deserves a place on the fail blog.

    Anybody ever seen a failplane?

  38. Anonymous says:

    9-11 was pretty much Failplane-tastic

  39. Keelhaul says:

    Wow……That was kinda brutal.

  40. Rick says:

    Awesome site. A great complement to mine (SMISLT – so many idiots, so little time).

  41. JPA says:

    @ #44 Epic failure as a human being

  42. j0sh says:

    ausador is right, theres totally 4 separate failboats in this picture..fleet o’ fail

  43. Dark says:

    A whole fleet of fail… wow. Sounds like a description of our ( the UK) Navy.

    And #49, that is hardly appropriate. Seriously, dude, people died in that. LOTS of people. It’s not something you joke about.

  44. Anonymous says:

    the world stopped failing again probrably :(

  45. puhleeeeze says:

    Okay, people. Unclench.
    Be empathetic, be callous, in the end it doesn’t matter. Nothing does as nobody will ever get out of this world alive. If you are wholly unable to find humor in the world then you will drown in its sorrows. Smiling in the face of adversity is what makes us human, chastising each other for smiling at the adversity is what makes us religious zealots.

  46. Flame says:

    Nicely said. Nihilism ftw!

  47. Insanus says:

    You Satan Lovers.

    That’s Satan’s Boat.

    No wait.

    CHUCK NORRIS’ PRIVATE FAILBOAT! SCANDAL! :O

  48. j0sh says:

    #54 equals spelling fail Lolz

  49. KNM says:

    Yeah, but #53… lots of people died in Burma during this last disaster. LOTS. More than 9/11… so is it okay to laugh at one and not the other? I’m no religious zealot and I am a constant “laugher” — hence this page being bookmarked, but there’s a difference between stupid fails and making fun of someone’s lifestyle that (a) can’t be helped, or (b) has just gotten a whole hell of a lot worse after a cyclone. Tell those victims to smile (#55)… I mean, it’s only a minor setback, right?

  50. Raman says:

    a nice one.

  51. Nmae says:

    you better start another one blog called failbotwin and post all these boring sinking boats pics there

  52. Keelhaul says:

    Everything is relative……….need moar fail……new fail!!!

  53. Darker says:

    #38. Or “Dark” as some call you. You Went to Wiki to look up the spelling of a german word, but you repeatedly mispell “The” with teh? Think you’re pretty cool don’t ya? Your hip with the new internet lingo? or you just fucked up 3 times. Either way, your a monstrocity of a failure. Also, #53, your a shithead. The point of this blog is to be tasteless. If we follow your logic, then really we shouldn’t be laughing at any of these pictures. The pics are all of people suffering from terrible happenstance.

  54. Darker says:

    Meant #59 btw. So, KNM, YOU SUCK, 53, your off the shit list.

  55. We need more failblog pics!

  56. Swiftest says:

    If you take the picture out of context (which is the only way you can find it humorous, really) then it looks like Failboat sank itself because the locals were jealous they didn’t have as cool of a boat. That’s funny.

    And for all the people bitching about how awful people are for laughing at this (out of context, of course), what have you done to ease the pain of those in need, in Asia and elsewhere?

  57. spinachflame says:

    I thought “pandering to the locals” meant that the big boat sunk itself because it was too uppity. From this perspective, it’s funny.

    New cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/

  58. Ronnie says:

    Good call, swiftest.

    Someone should do something with the whole ‘fleet of fail’ thing.

  59. Dark says:

    Goddamnit, I’m not going to have a freaking flamewar with you. And I spell “teh” because it’s just something i do a lot by accident. Seriously, the amount of times i’ve typed “teh” instead of “the” is just uncanny. If you go to any of teh forums I use, it happpens quite a lot.

  60. Paper Aeroplane says:

    im deleting this shit from my bookmarks! its getting a bit too boring now.

    fly me

  61. wow people, come on we dont need to fight about a bloody picture, cant we all just agree to disagree and move the f%k on?

    http://www.righthandgenius.wordpress.com

  62. snailsoup3 says:

    its time for some new pics, i’d say

  63. leechio says:

    More failpics coming up this evening… sit tight!

  64. Insanus says:

    We demand more failures

  65. Dark says:

    Fake dark, your right. I am stinkypoop. Very, very, stinky and poopy. Not enough green beens, i think, is the cause. I am sorry for any emotional stress i have put you and your family through with my putrid stench, and fece filled posts. I shall end my useless comments and remove my self from posting, anything, anywhere, ever again. ever.

  66. maxieg18 says:

    Ooooooh…this one is too soon.

  67. Jalapeno A. Tartigal says:

    @#31NOT BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  68. lauren says:

    THis was actually during the cyclone in Myanmar. not so funny…

  69. liljoeyster says:

    way too many boat pics :(

  70. the pod says:

    those that don’t get the failboat, need to get on the failboat.

  71. der medic says:
