just what we nedeed : another racist comment degrading other countries. The columbia space shuttle which exploded with people onboard was 100% american if i recall correctly ?
oh and one other thing its an anti tank missile, so you can be pretty close to it as long as you stay behind. anti tank missiles are not made like normal missiles to send debris flying everywhere, they concentrate molten metal directly ahead to puncture armor. so not a really big threat to them.
Battle of Vimy Ridge: They took the fortified Germa hill that had been resisting British and French atacks.
Canada’s Hundred Days:the last 100 days of the war, the Canadian Corps repeatedly spearheaded Allied attacks, with the four Canadian divisions defeating well over 40 German divisions during this period. The result was that the Canadian Corps became one of the most respected battle-tested groups on the Allied side, and one of the most feared by the Germans who referred to them as shock troops.
I can go on but I think you got the point.
p.s. Fals? Your grammer is very bad. Come back when you can talk and maybe I’ll consider your argument.
I wonder what happened afterward….
*Ending: missile blows up everyone and their families are shipped to the Island of Losses, where they live a terrorist’s life of raising the ocean level with their salty, anguish-filled tears, thus flooding the Earth.*
I may be thinking too much, although it is fun to have that kind of imagination.
Actually, French-speaking Canadians and Canadians speaking French are the same thing. These guys are definitely Canadians (I’m French, I would know), and this video is a fake, the last seconds were added, it’s pretty clear.
Its ok that the missile landed in front of them, it has a fail-safe that if the missile does not travel a certain distance (like 30 meters or so, maybe less) it dosent arm. the missile arms its self mid flight.
Um… just because you can make a sentence doesn’t prove your point. French is a nationality, not a race. A race is black/white/you get the point; it’s genetics. Nationality depends on which side of which imaginary line you were born.
Uriah… nothin’ like disprespecting an entire crew of crash victims to make a point against degredation, eh? FAIL
as muche the same than american but with the exception that the arianne system didn’t explode in the air, sorry about colombia, but i wonder why you , americans, always need to minimize the others contry and making jokes on them, while you have so much ridiculous things, way of thinking, peoples in your own contry?
P.S. sorry about my bad english quality, i’m a french canadian
Great lolz to all FAILers that laugh about the country where this weapon was designed (the guy who edited the captions to begin with).
The video is funny but there’s no trouble with weapon design, it’s just being misused.
You have to do a very precise sequence of actions to properly fire such a thing, so as untrained FAILers can’t use it against you, or you can’t fire it by mistake.
There are thousands of videos like this about US army stuff that go wrong, so take it easy and try to understand USA’s not the center of the world…
everyone comments about the fails of the country or the weapon system, and how it went and if it blew up. does people seriously not realise that this vid is fake?
actually, for the culturally-challenged ppl., it’s not French technology at work… but Rather Canadian, since they’re french-canadian (the accent and all).
Also, as much as you want to pass yourself off as a big courageous man here, I’m pretty sure you’d be the 1st to run if that missile landed at your feet… and if not, then I guess that’d make you suicidal.
Either way, comment Fail.
(For the record… I am Canadian, and I blame the government for not investing in proper equipment. That being said, I’m a pacifist myself.)
That’s true…Sweden builds effective gadgets for killing people…neutral bastards hahaha. To bad their army is crap =) Well let me take that back….a crap army is a good army….army sucks in pretty much all ways.
Acutally, Sweden is one of the historically neutral countries. They also produce a lot of incredible weaponry. So.. he is right on all counts exept army status. Given their numbers they have a pretty decent army.
Yes but Sweden is known for remaining neutral during both WWI and WWII…..although they did give aid to both sides and ended up in favor of the allied forces towards the end of WWII
as an american i’m kind of envious of canadians. answere me this whens the last time you people attacked a third world nation unprovoaked while completely disregaurding the democratic will of the people as a whole? cause we do that shit all the time, and dont seem to have any real say in the matter.
Canada isn’t THAT far away. If you’d like, you could always emigrate from America. Of course, that would mean taking the initiative to fill out a bunch of immigration forms. Maybe you should just wait and see if Obama wins the presidency? That’d be MUCH less work than moving to another country.
Just so you know, the US Stinger missile did the same thing when the Mudja Hadeen used them against Soviet choppers. Just because it ain’t American doesn’t mean its bad. Just because it is American doesn’t mean its the best. IE AK-47 worked perfectly against the M16 in Vietnam. The M16 just kept jamming and such.
Nope. Missiles and all kinds of explosive munition have something called “detonation protection”, an inertial device that prevents the missile from going off if it hadn’t flown for some time in the air.
wow… can’t track low flying targets, can’t track high flying targets, can’t follow fast targets with the turret, can’t hit a stationary drone, missle system can be fooled by the enemy throwing an empty pop can out the back, can’t tell an enemy chopper from a clump of trees, and can barely move. I WANT THAT TANK!!!
Wolf and poodle, a real woman and a transvestite, chocholate and a piece of shit covered in cheap perfume. Well, you have the same difference between pretty much any non latin language (especially germanian and slavic) compared to frensh and italian.
Ignoring the fact that both the French were a powerful nation in their
time and the italians ruled most of the known world in the past, it’s
your kind of talk that makes america look bad. I know french people.
They’re not really pretentious. They just make fun of our
arrogance. And you’re the kind of punk they make fun of. Oh
btw moron. The italians ran the north in 40’s-60’s. Remember that
too.
If you are taking anything I say seriously you are retarded.
By the way I have said nothing bad about the frensh nor the italian…just their languages that sounds stupid. Thats just a statment of personal taste…like “I think strawbery ice cream tastes bad”.
If I make America look bad…then I’m very happy…America IS bad, and American english can be just as stupid as french….maybe not THAT stupid, but almost. France is such a better country than America…America sucks (except the people who didn’t vote for bush, and all the nature and animals).
Just whisper some jibberish in Italian or French in some hotties ear…
Then, tell me their language sounds stupid….Unless of course you just like loneliness….Ha!!!!
Its spelt ‘French’….and I can slag of my home country of Britain all I want, but when I look at some Americans I feel a grudging patriotism towards old ‘Blighty’.
You are a retard. And you should learn French and move to Quebec. Then you can have the fun of Canada with the supposed pretentiousness of the French Language.
Yeah, cause the french are better than Americans. Like in every war, when they come marching in with their brand new solid white war flag, hands in the air, ready to make their move at the first sign of confrontation.
if that were true, you wouldn’t have a country. Without the French, America would be a British territory, and the rest of the world wouldn’t have to deal with your bullshit.
I second that!
In world war 2 the americans were huge offenders of human rights. It wasn’t the a good side beating a bad, just one bad guy beating up another.
Eryx Class weapon is french designed. The Javelin is the american
version. big difference in weapon chassis. American weaponry is
highly tested. Most take years before entering active service, and
a majority are scrapped before hand. We give our crappy stuff
to other people, like the F-14s without the programming in Iran.
america doesn’t own any of this shit. the american government does. they dont ask us for permission before they go into vietnamn, el salvador, or guatemala, so how can we say its “our” army? make no mistake son, the legions march for the patricians.
You know…..I think people outside the U.S. give Americans way too much
credit for playing a part in the decisions our leaders make…..We, as a people, have lost total control of our government and they have us believe that our vote will make a difference…….We’ve grown weak and against our own dollar.
If you have money….You stand a chance at making a difference….If you don’t,
then all you have to hold on to is pride and “patriotism” and what ever you can scrape out while you’re awake….We who struggle to make ends meet are being bamboozled and, I really think, are being forced to accept whatever shit we’re
being fed….It’s not a conspiracy…It’s the truth and there are a lot of living examples here to prove it…..The bullshit you see on TV does not represent the general public here……At some point this will have to “come to a head” and if something isn’t done about it…..we’ll all be speaking Japanese here.
Next 20 seconds involved the cameraman shouting “cut” and them all having a good laugh about the dumb people they will fool on the internet with the video.
they have to show it coming out of the launcher in those test vids and track it’s flight path from there or the test is invalid. basically this is done to prove the missle came from the actual system rather than an older, proven reliable system off camera.
There was a paper published (trying to find the link…) which showed that stupid people are less capable of comprehending their stupidity, and guess their IQ level to be typically higher than it actually is, and vastly overestimate the level of their talents. Intelligent people tend to be a bit more realistic.
For those who say they not speakin french, u liers. I speak french and I’ve heard French(pssh) Canadians speak, and thats basically the french they speak. This is a real thick accent tho. At some points they do use the american words “stand-by” i think.
the comments here are hilarious as well.
as for the video: i wasn’t surprised. i was expecting the missile to just drop out, but i would have liked to see the “aftermath”…
I belive this is fake.. the shot right before they fire the mans arm dissapears, also they take the beck part out of the shot as if, so they can push the missle throught the open hole.. i think its a joke
God you people are idiots. Watch the linked video to understand how this missile system is supposed to work. First of all, there’s a deploying charge that jettisons the missile from the launching tube – that’s what we see in the video here – that charge going off, the missile is evacuated just as it’s uspposed to.
What went wrong was the main engine on the missile didn’t fire, so it didn’t fly. It dropped to the ground, and subsequently didn’t go off.
So where’s the fail here? A main engine didn’t fire. Okay, that’s fine – but lets look at what did work. 1) The missile engine did ignite in the tube – that would have done serious damage to the soldiers. 2) The missile DID NOT DETONATE – this is a huge win, as it would have likely killed or severely injured the soldiers.
Lastly, we don’t know why the main engine didn’t fire. This could easily have been a training test for the shoulder-launching of this device, where the main engine wasn’t supposed to fire.
Instead of kneejerking like an asshole and going ‘OOo, the french are IDIOTS!’ – why don’t you actually read something, and learn. Here’s a couple good bits…
wow, you are stupid.
instead of laughing at the funny situation, you launch into a rant about WHY THIS ISN’T funny. Well, guess what, humor is subjective
LOL what a tool. Why would the soldiers be running away if it was just a practice? They are using FRENCH weaponry thats why ppl r dissing the frenchies. The soldiers were canadian but using FRENCH technology dumbass. The funny thing is that the missle just dropped out LOL this is sorta a Fail Win situation lol. The missle didnt fly but it didnt explode either. God I hate ppl who just write comments whining about the fail saying its either photoshopped or critically analysing it. Who gives a rats ass. Lets just look @ it and laugh
Thanks for proving my point about French being a pretentious language….look you spell…I mean any word that ends with “…ieux” is just way overdoing it.
France and the French people are ok though…don’t take me wrong =)
Really!!!…That’s like saying The majority Europe is Americas sexually confused
hippie co-dependant step-children……..No one would get defensive about that. right??????
Why does everyone seem to forget that America is here because of the English settlers (My knowledge in this field of history is blurry so I may miss some elements). European countries have been fighting and developing for millenia wheras Americans destroyed their native people and seem to piss of every other country. Just don’t forget that at one point the United Kingdom possessed the largest empire in recorded history.
“Yeah, you just stand there for a minute while I fire this up…”
“What did you say this was meant to do again?”
“Kil- I mean… make your dick bigger!”
“Oh… uh, ok then.”
Damn .. I don’t get the point fort the American hatred for French .. You guyz see us (Yes I’m part of them ) like stupid farmers, or over pretentious parisian stereotype (the mustache and all that shits ..) .. Wake up dudes, Europe is not the middle age ! Most of you speaks of other country without knowing yours, and may be even leave one time your town .. what a paradoxe . By the wat, for the one who said that they are French because he (thinks) speak french, they are not , they are canadian … and it’s another country , America isn’t UK isn’t it ?
right now we’re mostly bitter because we’ve let a chimpanzee piss away our superpower status and don’t want to admit we’re not as good as we were so recently… hence the shameless ego boosting at the expense of others. nothing personal.
i said “how about we just call them MEXICANS and be DONE with the whole nationality issue” yep.. i went there.. and lets also call them illegal immigrants that way EVERYONE can hate them, legal Mexicans are fine but illegal.. ehh not so great.
This video smells of a fake. There is a quick camera cut RIGHT before the missle pops out and the camera has conveniently panned away from the launcher so all we see is the very tip of it.
I produce videos for a living and while this seems convincing, there are a lot of red flags in the way this is shot that suggest it was faked.
Once and for all. I’m sick of all these jokes about the french surrending, white flags, etc. Really, it just shows how ignorant Americans are.
In WWII the French were invaded by surprise by overwhelming force. The president, not the soldiers, decided to surrender to avoid a massacre. Remember that France was coming out victorious of the most dirty, violent, murderous war of all time (WWI) where they had lost more than 1 million young men.
Even tough they were occupied by a brutal enemy, they formed a resistance. They fought a brutal occupation, entire villages got burned down, men were killed and women raped in retaliation, but they kept on fighting for 5 years. Hardly the signs of cowards. A big part of the French army that was not in occupied territory kept on fighting in Africa and Italy.
Now, if you are the courageous person you think you are, go to the little village of Alencon in Normandy, go to the face of my uncle there, who hide jews in is basement while the germans were kicking doors looking for them. Go to the face of my aunt who fought of a german soldier who was trying to rape her. Go to their 80 years old face and tell them the French are cowards.
Just let me get my camera first, I’ll post your 20ish years old ass getting kicked on the internet
Well, I remember what happened the last time French technology was used against the British… Exocet 1 British destroyer 0
In 1982, during the Falklands War, Exocets became famous worldwide when Argentine Navy Super Etendard warplanes used one to sink the British Royal Navy’s destroyer HMS Sheffield
“Dark,,,except Canadians speak French because the French invaded, and are probably the ancestors of many Canadians.”
Not exactly
The French didn’t invade anything. They colonised north america in 1534, 80 years before the first British settlement in the US. They established outposts of New France around the Great Lakes; France eventually claimed much of the North American interior as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. Now, 400 years later, to say that Quebecers are French, eat cheese and wear beret would be like saying Americans wear bowler hat, play cricket and have 4 o’clock tea.
after reading through half of this, to anyone else feeling sad for the world inbetween all the missunderstandings and TRUE fails in threads like these, there is still hope reading some comments (almost 50/50!1). keep your chins up!
eryx is a french missil, but this missil is a canadian made one, just loook at AMX 8 nexter leclerc, the best tank ever made on earth, and it is french, french technology is 1 of the best european technology !
actually…the missile not exploding is part of the design. The centrifical force of a spinning missile releases clips in the internal mechanism that enables the tip to explode on impact.
It is designed like this to avoid explosion in cases like the one in the video
I’m french and I’m really glad that you americans take so much pride in winning WWII. I mean, it’s not like you’re 20 times bigger than France (wich is approximatively the size of Texas), or had USSR by your side fighting the main german force in the east, or entered the war 2 years after everybody else, ready and prepared, nor it is one of the few wars you ever won…
HO WAIT, IT IS §
And, by the way, the Maréchal Pétain, who ordered one of the only surrenderings in our history, did it out of patriotism and to avoid blood baths, and, ho yeah, WAS CONSIDERED A TRAITOR AND WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH. Général De Gaulle later commuted his sentence in life imprisonment for his actions during WWI, he died in jail in 51.
see now if is an anti tank missle wouldnt it rely on contact-detonation? so it wouldnt explode unless someone went up and hit it? im not saying i wouldnt run but…
Actually, if you understand french, you can see how noob these guys are. I’m not proud to be a quebecer when i see them like : ”c’est quoi faut que je te dise ? (what do i have to tell you ?)” right before firing…
First off, if you need to ask what to say… dude i hope this was training… then he didn’t even wait for the fire command… AND ITS OBVIOUS YOU HAVE TO SAY ”FIRE!” (Feu! in french).
They’re Quebecers…and there’s no shame! Whatever… Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s only a malfunction, it doesn’t have anything to do with the private’s skills…
FAIL!
The missile surrendered.
Just like all French wusses.
just what we nedeed : another racist comment degrading other countries. The columbia space shuttle which exploded with people onboard was 100% american if i recall correctly ?
French is not a race. So go to hell, or at least high school.
Actually, French is a race.
Ex. that French man screamed like a little girl.
I would too if a giant missile fired and landed a meter in front of me…smoking
are you shitting me? that missile was tiny!
The size of a missile doesn’t matter you’ll die either way… -_-
WIN!
It looks fake :O
oh and one other thing its an anti tank missile, so you can be pretty close to it as long as you stay behind. anti tank missiles are not made like normal missiles to send debris flying everywhere, they concentrate molten metal directly ahead to puncture armor. so not a really big threat to them.
france is gay. thats all
Im from canada! Our army fals more. America comes in and busts up the place and we hide behind and slap the taliban in the face and run away.
HAY I FIND THAT OFFENSIVE D:<
War of 1812: Canada burned down the white house.
Battle of Vimy Ridge: They took the fortified Germa hill that had been resisting British and French atacks.
Canada’s Hundred Days:the last 100 days of the war, the Canadian Corps repeatedly spearheaded Allied attacks, with the four Canadian divisions defeating well over 40 German divisions during this period. The result was that the Canadian Corps became one of the most respected battle-tested groups on the Allied side, and one of the most feared by the Germans who referred to them as shock troops.
I can go on but I think you got the point.
p.s. Fals? Your grammer is very bad. Come back when you can talk and maybe I’ll consider your argument.
You’re an idiot, and why use ‘gay’ as a derogatory term in the first place? Moron.
sow what, I would still run
You guys fail twice…
1- They’re french-Canadian… French speaking Canadians.
2 That Eryx missile is made by MBDA base in UK, France and Germany.
Nice to see you focus on the “French” part but are clueless about everything else
I wonder what happened afterward….
*Ending: missile blows up everyone and their families are shipped to the Island of Losses, where they live a terrorist’s life of raising the ocean level with their salty, anguish-filled tears, thus flooding the Earth.*
I may be thinking too much, although it is fun to have that kind of imagination.
You doubled failed too. See, they are not French speaking Canadians, but rather Canadians speaking French, just like I do. They are from Quebec.
No, France is not involved in this Fail. Yes, Canada is, more especially Quebec. Frenchies don’t understand our talk, no matter how hard we try…
the conclusion is, france is GAY
Agreed.
Actually, French-speaking Canadians and Canadians speaking French are the same thing. These guys are definitely Canadians (I’m French, I would know), and this video is a fake, the last seconds were added, it’s pretty clear.
But englishs always talk like little girls XD
Its ok that the missile landed in front of them, it has a fail-safe that if the missile does not travel a certain distance (like 30 meters or so, maybe less) it dosent arm. the missile arms its self mid flight.
if the missile failed that bad it may already be armed.
How do you know?
WTF is an Englishs ?
Um… just because you can make a sentence doesn’t prove your point. French is a nationality, not a race. A race is black/white/you get the point; it’s genetics. Nationality depends on which side of which imaginary line you were born.
Uriah… nothin’ like disprespecting an entire crew of crash victims to make a point against degredation, eh? FAIL
Please, do not bring up the Columbia disaster. it was very tragic, and people mocking it is just sick.
Well yeah, but how many shuttle have the French sent into space? Big fat ZERO
as muche the same than american
but with the exception that the arianne system didn’t explode in the air, sorry about colombia, but i wonder why you , americans, always need to minimize the others contry and making jokes on them, while you have so much ridiculous things, way of thinking, peoples in your own contry? 
P.S. sorry about my bad english quality, i’m a french canadian
Pfft.. not like u really did something.. stupid arrogant american.
How many people the French people let dying in the street : 0. And for you americans…
what a doutche. you fail at life, go pretend to be a speedbump or something
Great lolz to all FAILers that laugh about the country where this weapon was designed (the guy who edited the captions to begin with).
The video is funny but there’s no trouble with weapon design, it’s just being misused.

Either way, comment Fail.
(For the record… I am Canadian, and I blame the government for not investing in proper equipment. That being said, I’m a pacifist myself.)
meh they are probably in Quebec so it’s french basically.
Surrendering missile is pretty much French missiles in a box.. AAAND this is one of the reasons that we are still at war!
thanks for that
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QY1qkRuiuY
SWEDISH MISSILES ARE BETTER
Holy SHIT! YEAH!
That’s true…Sweden builds effective gadgets for killing people…neutral bastards hahaha. To bad their army is crap =) Well let me take that back….a crap army is a good army….army sucks in pretty much all ways.
I believe you are thinking of Switzerland. Switzerland is historically neutral, not Sweden.
Since when isn’t Sweden neutral? We havn’t been involved in a war since 1814. Well, not unless you count vicious internet arguments.
a neutral army never loses and (almost) never has any casualties. win
of course sweden is neutral
He’s obviously not referring to the Swiss army because the Swiss has a BA military.
swedes are historically neutral, although it depends on how far back you wanna go.
Acutally, Sweden is one of the historically neutral countries. They also produce a lot of incredible weaponry. So.. he is right on all counts exept army status. Given their numbers they have a pretty decent army.
Yes but Sweden is known for remaining neutral during both WWI and WWII…..although they did give aid to both sides and ended up in favor of the allied forces towards the end of WWII
Both nations have traditions of neutrality, though the Swiss more pronouncedly so.
lol wrong country jackass!
geography fail!
This comment fails!! I’m quite sure You mean Switzerland, not Sweden….
Culture Fail!
go take a nap and then fire the missiles!
“the end of the world” reference WIN!
OMGWTFBBQ!!!! Sadly we can’t see if it went off after that…
This video is cut short. The missile doesn’t go off. Luckily for them it’s as crappy as the launcher.
Well..it is french.
canadian not french
Are you insulting us Canadians? >=|
Its bad, cause us French Candians are pretty good soldiers. Too bad
our technology sucks.
Most Canadian army equipment is several years past the sell-by date.
I feel sorry for our underequipped soldiers.
oh well, blame canada
the missile launcher is french the soldiers are canadian
its european, french/english/german you fail
as an american i’m kind of envious of canadians. answere me this whens the last time you people attacked a third world nation unprovoaked while completely disregaurding the democratic will of the people as a whole? cause we do that shit all the time, and dont seem to have any real say in the matter.
When was the last time you used a dictionary?
Dictionary FAIL
Contributing to the “Stupid American” stereotype win!
Canada isn’t THAT far away. If you’d like, you could always emigrate from America. Of course, that would mean taking the initiative to fill out a bunch of immigration forms. Maybe you should just wait and see if Obama wins the presidency? That’d be MUCH less work than moving to another country.
I for one WANT to move to Canada, but I have to wait a year due to my Passport.
Actually, if you read the opening, the launcher is french, its just the french canadians that shot it
The missile was French-made, Canadian-owned, Quebecois-operated. (A bad combination.)
Just so you know, the US Stinger missile did the same thing when the Mudja Hadeen used them against Soviet choppers. Just because it ain’t American doesn’t mean its bad. Just because it is American doesn’t mean its the best. IE AK-47 worked perfectly against the M16 in Vietnam. The M16 just kept jamming and such.
Enough with the discrimination
Nope. Missiles and all kinds of explosive munition have something called “detonation protection”, an inertial device that prevents the missile from going off if it hadn’t flown for some time in the air.
Then again…
– Arik
If it had blown up it would have been just another day at the European space program
Yes, because Canada is SO close to Europe.
French-Canadians are to France as Americans are to England. Unless you are implying that the US is still a part of Britain?
I’ll see your single missile failure and raise you one entire weapons system.
wow… can’t track low flying targets, can’t track high flying targets, can’t follow fast targets with the turret, can’t hit a stationary drone, missle system can be fooled by the enemy throwing an empty pop can out the back, can’t tell an enemy chopper from a clump of trees, and can barely move. I WANT THAT TANK!!!
Are you certain you want that one?
this one is even better:
http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/10/robot-cannon-ki.html
you don’t even have to actually aim at targets… this one just does it automatically and starts shooting your own soldiers when your not looking…
well.. at least it saves you the hassle of retirementfunds…
50 produced only to wind up as test field targets. sounds like a good use of money to me.
Yup, good ol’ 1970’s weapons technology, based on 1960’s weapons tech, delivered in 1983.
Modern technology fail *fail*.
lol… the French.
They are not French they are Canadian. There a few videos about missile failures on the net including British, US and Afghan.
Sure but it’s more funny when someone who speaks an extremely pretentious language fails (like frensh or italian).
How are French and Italian pretentious languages dumbass?
how aren’t they ?
Wolf and poodle, a real woman and a transvestite, chocholate and a piece of shit covered in cheap perfume. Well, you have the same difference between pretty much any non latin language (especially germanian and slavic) compared to frensh and italian.
Kid Choronsom,
your life is useless.
Best Regards.
Agreed. Also, there’s no “s” in French.
Agreed. And he sounds like he knows a little too much about transvestites.
Doesn’t every boy dream of a hot french transvestite?
Eeet puutz ze lotion on eets skeen or or eet getz ze house again. Sacre bleu!!!
Silence of the Lambs win!
Ignoring the fact that both the French were a powerful nation in their
time and the italians ruled most of the known world in the past, it’s
your kind of talk that makes america look bad. I know french people.
They’re not really pretentious. They just make fun of our
arrogance. And you’re the kind of punk they make fun of. Oh
btw moron. The italians ran the north in 40’s-60’s. Remember that
too.
Really? Italy is awesome. I’d love to go there, their cafes are incredible from what I’ve heard.
If you are taking anything I say seriously you are retarded.
By the way I have said nothing bad about the frensh nor the italian…just their languages that sounds stupid. Thats just a statment of personal taste…like “I think strawbery ice cream tastes bad”.
If I make America look bad…then I’m very happy…America IS bad, and American english can be just as stupid as french….maybe not THAT stupid, but almost. France is such a better country than America…America sucks (except the people who didn’t vote for bush, and all the nature and animals).
The animals may have voted for the eco-consious conservitives you dumbass.
?
Political alignment fail.
Italian doesn’t sound stupid… Well, maybe it does to someone who’s used to American accents.
Just whisper some jibberish in Italian or French in some hotties ear…
Then, tell me their language sounds stupid….Unless of course you just like loneliness….Ha!!!!
Its spelt ‘French’….and I can slag of my home country of Britain all I want, but when I look at some Americans I feel a grudging patriotism towards old ‘Blighty’.
You are a retard. And you should learn French and move to Quebec. Then you can have the fun of Canada with the supposed pretentiousness of the French Language.
Dipshit.
better than you=pretentious. Therefore French=pretentious to all Americans.
Yeah, cause the french are better than Americans. Like in every war, when they come marching in with their brand new solid white war flag, hands in the air, ready to make their move at the first sign of confrontation.
if that were true, you wouldn’t have a country. Without the French, America would be a British territory, and the rest of the world wouldn’t have to deal with your bullshit.
owned
They became gurlymen sometime after Nepolion died.
Napoleon, you dumbass. If you’re going to remember a war hero, at least remember him properly.
Anyone care that Napoleon was Corsican?
No if you consider that Corsica is a french territory …
Anyone care that Corsica was owned by France?
I forgot how america won every war they had!
like vietnam, afghanistan, irak…..
GG guys!
(a french guy…..)
and i forgot the “one hour WTC war” and the war on terror…..
come on your rants about WWII are lame, it is like us ranting about the queen of england wanting her territory back!
I second that!
In world war 2 the americans were huge offenders of human rights. It wasn’t the a good side beating a bad, just one bad guy beating up another.
A) We were kicking ass like nobodys business until you socialists decided to chicken out
B) Japanise were trated badly because DEMACRATS were in office!
Not to mentioned they tried the bombs on their own soldiers before that. hahahah…America, what a clown of a country
Iraq is spelled with a Q…
QQ
non mi piaci tu.
You’re insulting their language when you just called it ‘frensh’. Nonetheless I still
think French people speak funny.
French are not pretentious! thanks for us!
That’s right, this is Canadian and most probably American weaponry.
Eryx Class weapon is french designed. The Javelin is the american
version. big difference in weapon chassis. American weaponry is
highly tested. Most take years before entering active service, and
a majority are scrapped before hand. We give our crappy stuff
to other people, like the F-14s without the programming in Iran.
that’s why everyone hates america… they take all the decent stuff and leave the rest of the world with the dog’s bollocks
america doesn’t own any of this shit. the american government does. they dont ask us for permission before they go into vietnamn, el salvador, or guatemala, so how can we say its “our” army? make no mistake son, the legions march for the patricians.
You know…..I think people outside the U.S. give Americans way too much
credit for playing a part in the decisions our leaders make…..We, as a people, have lost total control of our government and they have us believe that our vote will make a difference…….We’ve grown weak and against our own dollar.
If you have money….You stand a chance at making a difference….If you don’t,
then all you have to hold on to is pride and “patriotism” and what ever you can scrape out while you’re awake….We who struggle to make ends meet are being bamboozled and, I really think, are being forced to accept whatever shit we’re
being fed….It’s not a conspiracy…It’s the truth and there are a lot of living examples here to prove it…..The bullshit you see on TV does not represent the general public here……At some point this will have to “come to a head” and if something isn’t done about it…..we’ll all be speaking Japanese here.
It’s for strategic reasons. If the people we give weapons to turn from ally to enemy like Iran did, we’ll still have the better equipment.
Fails in it’s fakeness.
Fake missile is fake.
Obvious Alexandros is obvious.
Forum troll is trolling.
Good, very good… technically, this is a legitimate specimen of double-fail: rocket doesnt fly, and explosive doesnt go off.
No… that would be a failure followed by a resounding success. If the missile didn’t ignite, it’s a GOOD thing that the warhead didn’t either.
It’ probably just a matter of opinion… I’d say that the warhead not igniting is not a good a thing. SPECIALLY in this case.
“warhead” hahahaha
So would that make this a Failure WIN?
So shopped…
FAKE FAIL
insult fail
A real Eryx missile test : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=dRbhH4si6X8
french quality… it was supposed to fail…
Whatever helps the French retreat faster….
LOOOOL
Better stick to eating frogs’ legs, d*mba**es
they are canadian.not french.and the french dont just eat frog legs and they eat them at usa 2.common knowledge fail
I’m surprised it didn’t just shoot out a white flag…
COMMENT WIN.
exactly
Rotfl!!!!!!
im still wondering why they haven’t made a “cat cannon” yet. simple, cheap, and effective hehe =P
because the crew from PETA would be on your case.
oh wait, you could fire them as well!
CATTOTHEFACE, PETA.
Bet they’d fight it off then sue themselves for abuse.
haha. whatever…. theyre for a good cause, but theyre still annoying all the same. dumb hippis
Actually, PETA are the ones who euthanize pets.
i want the next 20 seconds of this scene lol!
Next 20 seconds involved the cameraman shouting “cut” and them all having a good laugh about the dumb people they will fool on the internet with the video.
Quite possibly.
At least it wasn’t a puppy…
It’s OK. I hear a lot of men have that problem. No need to feel bad. ;-p
Hey guys,
I can tell you, it’s neither French, French canadian, or English these guys are speaking….
wtf you name yourself Jude (which is german word for jew) o.O
could he possibly be a german jew? moron….
u never heard of Jude Law??
or maybe his mother named him Jude, or her mother named her Judith, or s/he took the name from the Beatles song, or… oh ! I know! You’re a dumbass!
Jude is also the Hindu word for “He who is named Jude”
I think I love you, Bill.
dude they are talking french…i know i have to hear the french canadian babble all the time
LOL,
It’s French canadian on second hearing
Mets-en, tabarnac
Sacre merde!
It is a fake videooooooo
Yeah, it’s actually a photo…
is this your web site ? have you always been an ass? /
FIRST!
no you are not the first youre an dumbass
“an dumbass”.
I rest my case.
thats epic fail….you are like 90 comments from first.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ROTFLMFAO
Greatness!
Totally fake. The camera operator knew just where to pan to show the “failure.”
they have to show it coming out of the launcher in those test vids and track it’s flight path from there or the test is invalid. basically this is done to prove the missle came from the actual system rather than an older, proven reliable system off camera.
Fake fail…he’s panning to show the missile launch in its entirety. *whap*
This comment is obviously fake… he should be saying things that made sense, but he isn’t.
Win!!!
GOD WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE SO DAMN STUPID AND SO PROUD OF THEIR STUPIDITY?!?!
‘Scuse me, I have to go have a drink and a lie-down now.
There was a paper published (trying to find the link…) which showed that stupid people are less capable of comprehending their stupidity, and guess their IQ level to be typically higher than it actually is, and vastly overestimate the level of their talents. Intelligent people tend to be a bit more realistic.
I can so very easily believe that. (but would love to see the “official” report on it)
You’d think after all these years I would be a little more immune to it or just blow it off, but… the stupid, it burns!!!
http://www.badscience.net/2008/04/the-least-surrogate-outcome/#more-653
As a corollary, I’ve read that mediocre achievers are more satisfied with their results than high performers are.
As a dumbass i must say that i ressemble that comment!
LOL IT POOPED
I like how the focus of the camera at the end was real far off on the horizon… LOL!
OMFG
I was totally expecting it to shoot out the back or something, this is sooooo much more fail!
Expectations fail!
That’s what I thought too!
Well… it’ll be a bit difficult, but I’m willing to give it a try. It’s been a while since my last attempt, though…
Biggest win ever.
SHMUCKLER FAIL!
Une chance qui avait ‘un petit peut de vent’, lol
I’m French and I don’t even understand what they say… So please don’t confuse!
thats ’cause they’re Quebecois, and have a special language all their own. (it vaguely sounds like ducks quacking)
Have you ever heard a duck?
Yes, that’s exactly what I thought! But some people here don’t seem to see the difference…
lol there like “o s&#@!”
whoosh!
FRENCH technology ?
Geography Fail
absolutely
thats an american invention, a javline missle.
It’s clearly not a very good one…
he did say it was american….
I’am French and they are not french, they havn’t frenh’s accent but canadian’s accent, so they’re canadian.
For those who say they not speakin french, u liers. I speak french and I’ve heard French(pssh) Canadians speak, and thats basically the french they speak. This is a real thick accent tho. At some points they do use the american words “stand-by” i think.
The AMERICAN words you say?
HAHAHA…good someone noticed =)
SpecialK, you don’t really speak French do you? Don’t you mean you speak Canadian?…pssh!
the comments here are hilarious as well.
as for the video: i wasn’t surprised. i was expecting the missile to just drop out, but i would have liked to see the “aftermath”…
They’re from Quebec, they’re not french, lol. Come on les gars, ostie!!!! XD
they are french canadian (quebec) and it is US technology lol
lets just call them mexicans and be done wondering what nationality they are
Comment WIN.
Im sure it was enough to drop a load in their pants wondering if it was about to blow
I belive this is fake.. the shot right before they fire the mans arm dissapears, also they take the beck part out of the shot as if, so they can push the missle throught the open hole.. i think its a joke
God you people are idiots. Watch the linked video to understand how this missile system is supposed to work. First of all, there’s a deploying charge that jettisons the missile from the launching tube – that’s what we see in the video here – that charge going off, the missile is evacuated just as it’s uspposed to.
What went wrong was the main engine on the missile didn’t fire, so it didn’t fly. It dropped to the ground, and subsequently didn’t go off.
So where’s the fail here? A main engine didn’t fire. Okay, that’s fine – but lets look at what did work. 1) The missile engine did ignite in the tube – that would have done serious damage to the soldiers. 2) The missile DID NOT DETONATE – this is a huge win, as it would have likely killed or severely injured the soldiers.
Lastly, we don’t know why the main engine didn’t fire. This could easily have been a training test for the shoulder-launching of this device, where the main engine wasn’t supposed to fire.
Instead of kneejerking like an asshole and going ‘OOo, the french are IDIOTS!’ – why don’t you actually read something, and learn. Here’s a couple good bits…
Details on ERYX – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERYX
An ERYX launching: http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=dRbhH4si6X8
Eryx was developed by MBDA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MBDA
Don’t flame, INFORM!
wow, you are stupid.
instead of laughing at the funny situation, you launch into a rant about WHY THIS ISN’T funny. Well, guess what, humor is subjective
Well, this idiot seems to be a german OBERLEHRER.
yes! and he ’s going to basement to laugh
He’s kinda got a point, the anti-French racism does get annoying after a while.
LOL what a tool. Why would the soldiers be running away if it was just a practice? They are using FRENCH weaponry thats why ppl r dissing the frenchies. The soldiers were canadian but using FRENCH technology dumbass. The funny thing is that the missle just dropped out LOL this is sorta a Fail Win situation lol. The missle didnt fly but it didnt explode either. God I hate ppl who just write comments whining about the fail saying its either photoshopped or critically analysing it. Who gives a rats ass. Lets just look @ it and laugh
Your name is USA????? Wow that’s an abbreviation for the name of our country!!!
the USA version – the Javelin – is a Damn fine missile, but this french one – sheesh!! What a piece of junk
Hahaha. That would have been scary if I were there. Hilarious.
Oui oui, les français sont tous des cons prétentieux, stupides et lâches
Crétins.
Thanks for proving my point about French being a pretentious language….look you spell…I mean any word that ends with “…ieux” is just way overdoing it.
France and the French people are ok though…don’t take me wrong =)
Yeah, and what’s with all those annoying accent thingies? I can’t deal with all that.
Maybe, or just because you can’t spell them without looking like an idiot.
Just like me, when I try to say “tought, thus”
-_-’
No one can spell in french….it’s impossible
That guy just did.
It says something along the lines of “Yes yes, the French are pretentious, stupid and [hell knows what that says].
Cretins.”
Wow, the French understand sarcasm, most Americans don’t.
Crétin : Jackass
Thanks. Although people do use cretin to mean moron in English.
Didn’t know that
I did
hahaha….Fish is Cool.
Thinking of changing my handle to Kid Cretin…..no I don’t
Apparently failblog.org is now the “death to America” blog.
Only igf you see it that way. I don’t, but maybe that’s because I’m not american, and you’re far too defensive about your country.
I wholeheartedly agree. There is lots of good stuff in America, but it’s also a polluted, expensive, warring, and occasionally very stupid country.
Seconded
Really!!!…That’s like saying The majority Europe is Americas sexually confused
hippie co-dependant step-children……..No one would get defensive about that. right??????
Why does everyone seem to forget that America is here because of the English settlers (My knowledge in this field of history is blurry so I may miss some elements). European countries have been fighting and developing for millenia wheras Americans destroyed their native people and seem to piss of every other country. Just don’t forget that at one point the United Kingdom possessed the largest empire in recorded history.
-_- why cant people just watch a funny video without getting into pointless
retarded arguments that go nowhere?
ultimate melee weapon
I used one of these to brain a guy. Works great!
“Yeah, you just stand there for a minute while I fire this up…”
“What did you say this was meant to do again?”
“Kil- I mean… make your dick bigger!”
“Oh… uh, ok then.”
hohohho..very dangerous fail..
yet another french military defeat
Damn .. I don’t get the point fort the American hatred for French .. You guyz see us (Yes I’m part of them ) like stupid farmers, or over pretentious parisian stereotype (the mustache and all that shits ..) .. Wake up dudes, Europe is not the middle age ! Most of you speaks of other country without knowing yours, and may be even leave one time your town .. what a paradoxe . By the wat, for the one who said that they are French because he (thinks) speak french, they are not , they are canadian … and it’s another country , America isn’t UK isn’t it ?
right now we’re mostly bitter because we’ve let a chimpanzee piss away our superpower status and don’t want to admit we’re not as good as we were so recently… hence the shameless ego boosting at the expense of others. nothing personal.
Very well said. And for someone who speaks French, your English isn’t bad. Most people don’t bother with a second language.
Hé, le stéréotype parisien, ça devient plutôt le tektonik moyen
Le beret + baguette + moustache + pinard c’est plutot papy@campagne
Je sais pas si ça vaut vraiment mieux :/
Just take a little trek through the highways, byways, and backwaters of Louisiana (USA)…..Laissez les bon temps roulette!!!!
i said “how about we just call them MEXICANS and be DONE with the whole nationality issue” yep.. i went there.. and lets also call them illegal immigrants that way EVERYONE can hate them, legal Mexicans are fine but illegal.. ehh not so great.
Greatest. Missle. Evar.
New Anti-Tank/Anti-Road Runner Missiles!
Exclusively from ACME!
Yeah, ACME never failed to help Wile. E, did they?
,,,except Canadians speak French because the French invaded, and are probably the ancestors of many Canadians.
in fact, the french are also the ancestor of 1/4 th of the american, but i imagine you may not be litterate enough to know
This is a fake, you can see a cut just before the missile drop out.
Wait… Did that missile just fall out of the launcher?
so seriously talking but in result is fail ))
tripple fail (!)
adverbial usage + sentence order + smiley fail = me listening to tekkno instead.
plus kid cretin ftw and rtfm [@eryx comments]
pffffff it’s not French it’s Canadian
L’armée Française et du Canada n’ont rien a voir réfléchissez unpeu
yes they are american.they comme from north america there for are american
Thank god you guys were way too pansy to help with the war. i guess there’s a reason that the French have no military victories.
And I’m supposed to believe this is real, because…?
because the goverment says so. and were all blind submissive slaves…………… YEA RIGHT!!!
how about: EVERYONE that didn’t realize it was a CG missile, just FAILED
win
This video smells of a fake. There is a quick camera cut RIGHT before the missle pops out and the camera has conveniently panned away from the launcher so all we see is the very tip of it.
I produce videos for a living and while this seems convincing, there are a lot of red flags in the way this is shot that suggest it was faked.
Once and for all. I’m sick of all these jokes about the french surrending, white flags, etc. Really, it just shows how ignorant Americans are.
In WWII the French were invaded by surprise by overwhelming force. The president, not the soldiers, decided to surrender to avoid a massacre. Remember that France was coming out victorious of the most dirty, violent, murderous war of all time (WWI) where they had lost more than 1 million young men.
Even tough they were occupied by a brutal enemy, they formed a resistance. They fought a brutal occupation, entire villages got burned down, men were killed and women raped in retaliation, but they kept on fighting for 5 years. Hardly the signs of cowards. A big part of the French army that was not in occupied territory kept on fighting in Africa and Italy.
Now, if you are the courageous person you think you are, go to the little village of Alencon in Normandy, go to the face of my uncle there, who hide jews in is basement while the germans were kicking doors looking for them. Go to the face of my aunt who fought of a german soldier who was trying to rape her. Go to their 80 years old face and tell them the French are cowards.
Just let me get my camera first, I’ll post your 20ish years old ass getting kicked on the internet
Well, I remember what happened the last time French technology was used against the British… Exocet 1 British destroyer 0
In 1982, during the Falklands War, Exocets became famous worldwide when Argentine Navy Super Etendard warplanes used one to sink the British Royal Navy’s destroyer HMS Sheffield
“Dark,,,except Canadians speak French because the French invaded, and are probably the ancestors of many Canadians.”
Not exactly
The French didn’t invade anything. They colonised north america in 1534, 80 years before the first British settlement in the US. They established outposts of New France around the Great Lakes; France eventually claimed much of the North American interior as far south as the Gulf of Mexico. Now, 400 years later, to say that Quebecers are French, eat cheese and wear beret would be like saying Americans wear bowler hat, play cricket and have 4 o’clock tea.
Hey to anyone who is insulting French people, remember that they still own Louisiana since USA didn’t pay for it …
This one is sooooo fake, missile is lame 3d, to shiny, to cartoony…
Skynet ftw.
after reading through half of this, to anyone else feeling sad for the world inbetween all the missunderstandings and TRUE fails in threads like these, there is still hope reading some comments (almost 50/50!1). keep your chins up!
Hoax.
Nicely made, but you *can* see the cut in the movie just before the “missile” is fired.
RUUUUUUUUUUUN FOREST RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN
Except, those were french Canadians shooting American technology…
This was definitely photoshopped. It’s so obvious.
caption data format fail
Fake. Besides the fact that there is an obvious pan away from the fire, the video skips a beat right before launch. Notice the sky…
Tolerance fails, xenophobia wins.
(as it seems the most important information is “it’s french technology, ahah look these stupids bastards”)
eryx is a french missil, but this missil is a canadian made one, just loook at AMX 8 nexter leclerc, the best tank ever made on earth, and it is french, french technology is 1 of the best european technology !
I agree that is not a US missile : US missiles kill only civils…
There are very inteligent comments… Fortunately, I see that is not a generality. Thx for them.
The only things the french did right were Basset Hounds and french toast… (kidding)
The camera man rofl’d xD
nice and cool blog. enjoy it. i am also enjoying it.
world war one fail
Haha this is truly french design
Neat and good looking but totally useless
actually…the missile not exploding is part of the design. The centrifical force of a spinning missile releases clips in the internal mechanism that enables the tip to explode on impact.
It is designed like this to avoid explosion in cases like the one in the video
I’m french and I’m really glad that you americans take so much pride in winning WWII. I mean, it’s not like you’re 20 times bigger than France (wich is approximatively the size of Texas), or had USSR by your side fighting the main german force in the east, or entered the war 2 years after everybody else, ready and prepared, nor it is one of the few wars you ever won…
HO WAIT, IT IS §
And, by the way, the Maréchal Pétain, who ordered one of the only surrenderings in our history, did it out of patriotism and to avoid blood baths, and, ho yeah, WAS CONSIDERED A TRAITOR AND WAS SENTENCED TO DEATH. Général De Gaulle later commuted his sentence in life imprisonment for his actions during WWI, he died in jail in 51.
So, you guys fail at history.
It’s about damn time somebody set the record straight. I was about to do it myself when I noticed your comment. Thx for doing my job for me.
well good sir ( or ma’am) you fail at the english language. you do however pass at hypocrisy!
Short range?
they were testing out the kid-friendly version of a real life missile kit. ages 5 and up.
My stomach hurts from laughter xddddd
i just love the sound of when it comes out.
soyez pas si méchants avec les Québécois !
No wonder Hitler just marched right in without a struggle.
see now if is an anti tank missle wouldnt it rely on contact-detonation? so it wouldnt explode unless someone went up and hit it? im not saying i wouldnt run but…
Those are not frenchies, they are Quebequers, wich means that’s actually the Canadian army.
You can tell by the accent.
RUNNNN!!!!
I’d scream like a little girl too if I was them.
oh man what do you expect both french AND canadian come on
this shit is FAKE~ Double fail
isn`t fail
why should it?
And they said no one could outsmart bullet?
lol, poor canadian people. Being so close from USA, they finally almost seem as idiot as them.
Actually, if you understand french, you can see how noob these guys are. I’m not proud to be a quebecer when i see them like : ”c’est quoi faut que je te dise ? (what do i have to tell you ?)” right before firing…
First off, if you need to ask what to say… dude i hope this was training… then he didn’t even wait for the fire command… AND ITS OBVIOUS YOU HAVE TO SAY ”FIRE!” (Feu! in french).
lets play guess the ending! i guess everyone dies the end
They’re Quebecers…and there’s no shame! Whatever… Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s only a malfunction, it doesn’t have anything to do with the private’s skills…
lol good stuff.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!
