  1. n00b says:

    lol @ idiot that buys things like this

  2. jacido says:

    hahahahah
    that’s a joyous moment.

  3. chaosincarnate says:

    Not quite as bad as the flakeout I had on the idiotic blockbuster cashier who insisted we rewind DVDs. It started when I told him about the “Please Rewind” sticker placed on the back of the DVD case. I told him he should probably remove it so stupid people don’t get all confused. He then informed me that DVD rewinding was indeed necessary. “It spools the content back onto the DVD” he exclaimed.

    It gets funnier, when I look at the idiot with utter incredulity as he proudly exclaims: “Don’t feel bad about not knowing, I work around this stuff every day.”

    After about 15 minutes of me trying every way possible to remedy his stupid, I finally pulled out my portable cd player, skipped to track 5, then pulled it out, put it in his stereo (I could reach it over the counter) and hit play. It started on track 1. He kinda looked at the stereo funny, and then I informed him that DVDs worked on the same technology.

    I shit you not, 20 seconds of silence later, he FINALLY got it, and hung his head in utter shame.

  4. Izzy says:

    Ahh the joys of in-store training chaosincarnate ,a double fail then !

  5. Jennifer says:

    Lol, brilliant! I wonder what it actually does…

  6. damnedgamer says:

    lol i’ve seen it yesterday in a forum a signature and now its here LOL!
    #7

  7. Eric says:

    Is anyone else’s RSS feed reader getting redirected to pick up ICanHasCheezburger’s too? WTF?

  8. Jennifer says:

    Eric: I’ve no idea why, but yes. Weird.

  9. Slippy Lane says:

    Yah, tis happening to me too.

    RSS FAIL?

  10. Tapper says:

    LOL!

  11. aku says:

    i kinda don’t like this new layout :/

  12. the coach says:

    i´m with aku
    the layout is an awful design-fail

  13. MeP says:

    Yeah, this rewinder works, i have 2 of them in my home.

  14. Steampunker says:

    @MeP
    It works? And what does it do?

  15. KCL says:

    Its a gag gift. It even makes a rewinding sound. You can open it up and keep change or other junk in it.

  16. Sverige... says:

    LOL!:D

  17. ive seen it before but its still hilarious

  18. A.Ho says:

    One would only need it if it’s playing in the same device again….(but again you can just hit the “menu” button)

  19. Jessi says:

    Oh, heh, shows how dumb I can be sometimes, I though it was one of those devices that removes scratches from your discs. You know, like it’s ‘rewinding’ back to when the disc was new.

  20. feckineejit says:

    this is from a photoshop contest on somethingawful.com you all fail at not seeing that this is fake.

  21. Mom says:

    I know people who would actually buy a DVD rewinder and think they needed to use it.

    Georgia Education definitely FAILS!

    http://www.momstop.blogspot.com

  22. TeacherLady says:

    You laugh, but two weeks ago a substitute teacher called my colleague to ask how to rewind the DVD he had set up for her to play for the kids… And no, as a teacher I feel that we have no need of more money for the education system, just smarter spending and SMARTER PEOPLE!

    • Knightly_lurkin says:

      I can actually see that happening…if the person honestly thought you could rewind a dvd, that’s one thing, but if the teacher just couldn’t pull the right words out of her head quick enough, it’s possible she actually wanted to know how to re-queue to a particular spot on the DVD that had already played; not rewind, but back up.

      If she was seriously asking how to rewind, though, that’s pretty funny

  23. aaa says:

    it is intended to be a gag gift. but it also is a disc cleaner.

  24. kannadzuki says:

    This is a DVD scratch remover. I saw one just like it (but different colours) in a Japanese store today with the name “DVD Repairer” (リペーア) instead.

  25. dudedude says:

    OMG you cant fail any worse than that!!!

  26. bluesoul says:

    Am I the only one that remembers this being on Bash?

    http://bash.org/?165759
    I just had a genius idea
    DVD rewinders
    it spins and whirrs and stupid people buy them

    And that’s from years ago, folks.

  27. PonNightingale says:

    Omg… someone just said; “haha, that’s a fail, because you can’t rewind DVD’s!”

    ¬_¬

    Was that a BIGGER Fail?

  28. Malfeasant says:

    We used to joke about these when I worked at radioshack… Nice to see someone actually made one.

  29. bob says:

    lol i want one of those, just to have it as a joke

  30. Anonymous says:

    My mum still won’t listen to me when I tell her to stop trying to rewind the DVD’s every time before putting them back in the box.

  31. Reason says:

    Unfortunately, this both is and isn’t fake.

    It’s a real item, but it’s a joke gift. Like the “T.V. Remote for Men”

    The button just spins it. It’s not meant to be taken seriously. This is a new age flower water squirter.

  32. Major Tom says:

    Yup, it decribes it here http://www.amazon.com/DVD-Rewinder/dp/B000NK7E7Y/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1214194869&sr=8-1

    “Product Description
    Never pay another DVD rewind fee again! Compatible with all disc formats: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CDR, CDRW, Audio CD, VCD. Multi-region, code-free rewinder capable of rewinding all 6 region DVD’s including RCE/REA encoded discs. NOTE: this product is intended as a novelty. All disc and MP3 media are direct access and do not truly require “reqinding.” However, it is very fun to hear the sounds, and watch the lights of this product. “

  33. ENG says:

    Many plastic electronics are made in China.

    If China had the more humane Retard Euthanasia Policy instead of the forced-abortion One-Child policy, we’d not have things like this.

    (Disclaimer: Some aborted babies would’ve been smart enough to be a member of MENSA and change the world with their ingenuity. That’s why they need a retard exterminating policy so they test every child in China, and any kid with an IQ of under 100 would get euthanized, and their organs donated and sold. Better for the country, don’t you think?)

    But anyway, for the love of God, that had BETTER be a Photoshop or else there was a retard with a whole lot of money! (For development, marketing, etc.)

    • tarikki says:

      This was one of the stupidest and most offensive comments ever. And btw, most of the stuff made in China is made for western companies, i.e. us, which would make it a China commercial win, Western World planet resources allocation fail.

  34. Hein says:

    want want want

  35. The True Patriot says:

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOL… lol…

  36. Anonymous says:

    grandmother uses something like that for VCRs to rewind movies while she wants to watch something else

  37. madcow says:

    Back in my day, when DVD’s were new, people thought they had to be rewinded like video tapes.
    Brilliant.

  38. That’s a classic… what a dumb ass!

  39. Michael says:

    It seems that site has a java virus downloader on it. Beware :(

  40. Sarah says:

    Um, ok, yah. WHoever invented this isn’t that bright….

  41. fu3zy says:

    the really sad thing is, if you made those, you would sell at least a couple hundred. man kind fail

  42. vomitman1221 says:

    Hahahaha, he probably did that when dvds first came out to capitalize on the stupid factor…… i want to work for this guy

  43. Llama says:

    Now on sale for only $39.95!

  44. Bill says:

    Just an FYI… I am the “inventor” (taken lightly) of this actual product. Love the comments. Yes, there are many people who buy these. Also, we have gotten actual support calls from people who were truly convinced that they need this item – all of them were purchased on their behalf.

    To the point of “Please be kind, rewind” stickers. Yes, they are actually used on DVDs. This was the original impetus behind this crazy toy. My brother and I were skiing in Colorado and stopped at a grocery store for a movie, and YES, there was a sticker.

    I have been told by Blockbuster and others that the stickers were originally used for inventory purposes. But….

    Yes, we have sold lots. No, I have not retired – I live Dilbert every day as do many of you.

    BTW, the site http://www.dvdrewinder.com is currently down due to overload on the server. So, keep it tagged for Holiday purchases – and of course, White Elephant gift exchanges.

  45. djnforce9 says:

    The sad fact is that these things are ACTUALLY for sale:

  46. Mazjinga says:

  51. bob96976hy says:

    hg

  52. andre says:

    LMAO its a peice of crap insta FAIL

  53. blows carrots says:

    i’d buy it, if i was 80 years old and lived in the mountains and had no fkin idea where he was :D

  54. Schilcote says:

    I bet it’s actually a DVD cleaner. Either that, or it’s photoshopped, because I don’t think there’s that many pepole who are that stupid that a company will think it can make a profit making one of these.

  55. LolaB says:

    Oh sweet god….

    That’s amazing. I wonder if I could get one of these and dupe someone with it.

  56. Yumiko says:

    It was probably made when DVDs weren’t popular yet so people would fall for anything.

  57. Tim says:

    Lol, have thought about it and than… “Hey! D:”

  58. Kyle says:

    Hey I bought one of them. Works really good. Only thing is, sometimes we forget to rewind it. Luckily they rewind really fast! =D

  59. lēti žogi says:

  60. DerDeljk says:
