  1. hiperbato says:

    Choose The Worst Name:

    Option A – Mr. Brain’s

    Option B – Pork Faggots

  2. Cody says:

    O_o… Mr. Brains!

    …Sidenote: Forgot to type in my email the first time..

  3. Stefan says:

    Wait a sec, I see some package saying “Cum” in the bottom right corner. Isn’t that a more interresting fail?

  4. D. says:

    Seriously – wtf?

    PS. FIRST

  5. Zhaneel says:

    the “Mr Brain’s” part just makes it worse.

  6. Mickey says:

    And no one noticed the “Waitrose CUM” on the right bottom corner?

    Hehe. First, btw.

  7. D. says:

    Seriously – wtf?

    And in the bottom left corner it has a box which says : “Waitrose CUM”. Unintentional, but lolsome.

    PS. First. :P

    • marshmallow_ocelot says:

      speaking of cum here is an interesting joke i read yesterday

      A woman and her boyfriend are out having a few drinks. While they’re sitting there having a good time together she starts talking about this really great new drink. The more she talks about it, the more excited she gets, and starts trying to talk her boyfriend into having one. After a while he gives in and lets her order the drink for him.

      The bartender brings the drink and puts the following items on the bar: A salt shaker, a shot of Baileys and a shot of lime juice. The boyfriend looks at the items quizzically and the woman explains. “First you put a bit of the salt on your tongue, next you drink the shot of Baileys and hold it in your mouth, and finally you drink the lime juice.” So, the boyfriend, trying to go along and please her, goes for it. He puts the salt on his tongue… salty but OK. He drinks the shot of Baileys…smooth, rich, cool, very pleasant. He thinks…this is OK. Finally he picks up the lime juice and drinks it.

      In one second the sharp lime taste hits. At two seconds the Baileys curdles. At three seconds the salty, curdled taste and mucous-like consistency hits. At four seconds it feels as if he has a mouth full of nasty snot. This triggers his gag reflex, but being manly, and not wanting to disappoint his girlfriend, he swallows the now foul tasting drink.

      When he finally chokes it down he turns to his girlfriend, and says, “Jesus, what do you call that drink?” She smiles widely at him and says, “Blow Job Revenge.”

    • anonymic says:

      Handedness fail.

    • Kurt says:

      Dyslexia win. box is in bottom right.

      Keep this guide handy for future refference

  8. pewpewlazerpwn says:

    Frost Shock ! First !

  9. Claire says:

    That’s not a fail. That’s British English.

  10. Anne says:

    Yuk.. Sounds sf-like

  11. Kvickstick says:

    Fail

  12. catgirl says:

    I love the “rich west country sauce”, like that makes it better.

  13. Trisreed says:

    There is also another interesting packet in the bottom right.

  14. Loccy says:

    Brains Faggots have been amusing British schoolkids with their unfortunate name for decades now. Fail on you, Yank-type-people, for not knowing about them sooner.

  15. Medium Dave says:

    Well, I live in the West Country, and can confirm that faggots are very popular here. Not the Mr Brains ones, though, as they’re shit. And there’s no such thing as West Country sauce.

    Additionally, I suspect the box in the bottom right is actually a ‘cumberland sausage ring’, rather than just a big ol’ box o’ cum.

    • cee cee says:

      “cumberland sausage ring” I know a guy that had one on his penis. Oh sorry I mean sausage since you like to use that word.

  16. Panthro says:

    I hope to God that it’s a cumberland sausage

  17. Wow, a British fail. I’m fairly sure that the packet in the bottom right is “Cumberland Pie”. Mr Brain’s is a mainstream brand, and in Britain a faggot is a meatball, basically, or something that you put on a fire and burn. In Britain, homosexual people are poofs, or batty boys, they are not faggots.

  18. Bill says:

    That’s what they call meatballs in England. This isn’t so much a fail as it is a cultural reference.

    And yes, they also call cigarettes faggots as well.

  19. Wow, a British fail. I’m fairly sure that the packet in the bottom right is “Cumberland Pie”. Mr Brain’s is a mainstream brand, and in Britain a faggot is a meatball, basically, or something that you put on a fire and burn. In Britain, homosexual people are poofs, or batty boys, they are not faggots.

    This is going to appear twice, and I will look like a fool.

  20. Daniel says:

    wtf? What is that even supposed to be?

  21. RogueThree says:

    Mr. Brain’s Pork Faggots! They’re FABULOUS!

  22. RogueThree says:

    Mr. Brain’ Pork F*ggots. They’re FABULOUS!

  23. StuRat says:

    I don’t see the fail here, fagots are mince balls with herbs and spices

    • PokedrawerZ says:

      It’s American slang for a homosexual, so I deduce that you are probably British.

      • Dahak says:

        I had to read the comments to work out what the fail was here >.> We used to have faggots with Sunday Lunch every week. Very tasty they are too.

  24. Desi says:

    I grew up in Devon in England and I LOVE these. I suppose I’m just so used to the name I never thought it was odd. They’re like pork liver/meatballs in gravy. I have em in a big Yorkshire pudding with mushrooms..mMMMMMmmmmmm

    • Muhammad The Camel Guy says:

      Thanks Desi.

      I can just see myself now the next time I pull into McDonalds for breakfast in England.

      “I’ll have the Mc-pork Mc-liver meatballs with gravy, and order of pudding with mushrooms. And can you add some faggots to that order?” I’m in particularly feminine mood this morning. I need a big fat faggot in my mouth right now!

      • Desi says:

        It works both ways. Brits thing fanny bags and anyone called Randy is very funny indeed. :-)

        • Muhammad The Camel Guy says:

          Fanny bags being funny is universal. If I was abducted by aliens, and they were wearing fanny bags, I’d have to drop an off color joke. But, what’s so funny about Randy? That’s a good-ole’ boy, red-blooded American name right there. When I hear “Randy” it makes me think of the truck driver who delivered them pork faggots. What comes to mind when you hear the name “Randy?”

    • DB says:

      This is from the same country that brought the world Spotted Dick. Food, it seems, is another area where the British have a twisted sense if humor. ;)

  25. Jack says:

    I think this might be located in Britain or the UK, since over there they actually call meatballs faggots.
    Just so you know.

    • Danus says:

      Geography fail. Britain is in the UK.

      Cultural reference fail. Faggots are a type of meatball, like spaghetti is a type of pasta. We still call them meatballs.

  26. OINK says:

    That sent me to Wiki. It’s worse than it sounds.

    We had a saying in the Marine Corps about our chow:

    “MMM! That’s just like Mom used to make!
    Except, of course, that Mom didn’t shit in it.”

    • else person says:

      Obviously not at all fake
      Look at all the people from England chiming in

      It’s just a different usage of the word faggot.

      Strangely there are MANY uses and the American colloquialism, and rather rude way of referring to homosexuals I might add, is NOT the main one nor the first way it was used in the least.

  27. gord allott says:

    its an old english dish, your just showing your cultural moronicness by making fun of this. where do you think the homophobic slur came from?

    oh we also have a dish called ’spotted dick’ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_dick) do you want to make fun of that as well whist we are here?

    • Muhammad The Camel Guy says:

      Alex, I’ll take “Thin-skinned Britts for $200″

      The answer is “He spottted dick”

      Alex, “What did the English faggot do?

    • PokedrawerZ says:

      Of course we want to make fun of it!

    • Vernunft says:

      Really? REALLY? Why is all the humor sucked out of this site? “No no no, this is clearly not the other meaning of that word, so there is nothing odd about this at all.” So you just don’t get irony either? Nor puns?

      Get a life.

    • cee cee says:

      My boyfriend had a spotted dick.

    • stfu says:

      dude, calm down, we’re just a bit close to it to see that its a bit weird, we were all brought up with these so we just know them.

      Its no different when we see a bus with ‘Fucker’ on it but to the country with the ‘Fucker’ bus company (sorry, I dont know which country it was) its no big deal cos they know it means something else.

      You cant laugh at the name of something ‘foreign’ meaning something else to us and then be offended by people laughing at something in our country, thats not really on, old sport, eh?

      Even spotted dick raises a titter amongst us brits, especially the kids when they get it as school, cos its funny in a completely childish way which makes it brilliant.

      • 999 says:

        that bus was in belgium. i know some people that rode it.

        • E says:

          It’s a German company actually (the Fücker coach). But the area they’re from is very close to the Belgium border, so I’m sure they’re seen there often too.

          • Muhammad The Camel Guy says:

            Hang on a minute. Did you just say “the Fucker coach?” We had one of them at our highschool growing up. He went to prison for Pedophilia.

    • blackbelt says:

      yo, gord allott, switch from Earl Grey to decaf…this is just humor. BTW, spelling fail: (1) ‘your’ (2) whist.

      and of course we want to make fun of spotted dick. wouldn’t you?

    • Jujube says:

      Whilst?

  28. Ralf says:

    Oh sweet lord. A fellow in Britain actually sent me a picture of such a box he owned. I was always amused, not by the name of the food, but that they decided to put the 4 in the same line.

    Pork 4 F*ggots. Says a little something about everyone in the UK, doesn’t it?

    • Peter says:

      LMAO Ralf… hadn’t read it that way :)

    • Danometer says:

      No Ralf, it says something about the differences between American Language and English language.

      Rich west country sauce? The San Francisco Treat? Hmmm …

      • Anomnomnomymous says:

        And lets not forget the classic “the good news is it came out of a can, the bad news is I don’t know who’s”.

      • Karen says:

        Excellent! As a “Yank” I think this is quite funny, but I’m also glad I learned something about our friends across the pond’s word usage as well. (Also very glad to hear about the “Cumberland sausages” – but that was funny in the picture, too.)

    • Bill says:

      I was always amused by the word “cockmaster” which appeared quite often in England. It’s a tennis match or something i think, but it showed up an inordinate number of times.

      • dolt says:

        i live in England and i’ve never heard off it my best guesses it would be the badminton equivilent of ball boy or somone who looks ofter male chickens (cockrals or cocks for short)

    • No One Special says:

      and P.S did you notice that in fact there are only 2 faggots on the package…advertising fail!

    • No One Special says:

      P.S. there are only 2 faggots, not 4…advertising fail!

  29. rrr says:

    This is frickin’ hysterical.

  30. miaowmiaow says:

    shut up you yank spaz. remember, in American dollars 4 pork faggots cost about $800000000.00 or 99p.

    Its kind of weird that the word ‘faggot’ on a box of…pork faggots is funny enough to get on here? Or is it that the brand is Mr Brain’s? I dont get it. If it was like Mr Cockbreath’s Bull Testicles or something id get it.

  31. You spelt Appetising wrong. ;)

  32. earwigbananas says:

    we also call cigarettes fags. aren’t foreigners funny?

  33. Austexus says:

    Mmmm… BRAINS!

  34. Spacedman says:

    There’s a rugby team sponsored by these guys. They have ‘Brains’ plastered all over their kit. Especially after particularly rough games.

  35. McGehee says:

    If you like those, try “Mr. Faggot’s Pork Brains!”

  36. Tini says:

    I always smile when I see them in the shop. You’d think I’d have grown up a bit by now.
    Although, I’ve heard they’re delicious. But I don’t eat meat so I have never tried them.

  37. djspazy says:

    Lmao what hell is a pork faggot? I mean I’ve heard of faggot meaning like a stick of wood or a cigarette. But pork faggot??

  38. Dr. Girlfriend says:

    It’s just another attempt to try and take over the world!

  39. mj89 says:

    This Isn’t fail, faggots are a old name for meat balls over here In the UK (well mostly Scotland) it has mostly fell out of use but is still used.

    • Karen says:

      Interesting how a word that means “bundle of sticks” came to mean “meatball” in the UK and be a nasty term for male homosexual in the US. Language is a funny thing.

    • Chris says:

      Did you really miss the 15,000 comments saying the same thing above you?

  40. durr says:

    well i don’t know what you’re going to eat when you become a zombie, but i’m set! no more having to hunt around for dinner, just a simple trip and stumble to your grocer’s freezer.

  41. Oscar says:

    pork 4 faggots?
    not for me.

  42. Pescador_Gama says:

    damn… im so hungry now…

  43. bbbbbb says:

    But really, what is faggots?

  44. Puuka says:

    Now, is it “4 Pork Faggots” or “Pork 4 Faggots”?

  45. MrDobilina says:

    pork faggots are nice, the name faggot in food has been around ALOT longer than the gay sense tqvm

  46. Mao says:

    I’m so glad that’s not a typo.

    • AngiTig says:

      I wish I a kid so I could send them to school with this for a current events project. Bloody brillant!

  47. fepic ail says:

    hehe, check the link in my name..

  48. becca says:

    they sell those in iceland!

  49. stfu says:

    These are too familiar to me to see that side of it. I was fed on f*ggots by Mr. Brain from a young age. His sauce was a particular favourite.

  50. Hermes says:

    Photoshop fail.

    • crazylegs says:

      No, it’s not. http://www.tesco.com/superstore/xpi/5/xpi50150805.htm

      It always amuses me when Americans talk about ‘fanny packs’, now *that* is funny!

      • anony mouse says:

        you’d better explain what “fanny” means in Brit …

        • LF says:

          anony mouse: Lol fanny basically means vagina in Britain, that’s the meaning of the word for us.
          Apparently it’s a name some people have in America, especially in certain generations? That’s frankly hilarious for some Brits. To us you’re just calling your baby “Vagina”.

          I find these pork balls funny, and I am British myself. I also used to find spotted sick funny when I was a child at school, for example at lunch we would try to alter the words on the chalkboard menu to something rude, when it was spotted dick we had nothing to do, we just giggled.

          • SLG says:

            It’s a name in the UK too. Never heard of Fanny Craddock? It’s not her birth name, but it’s the most famous example that came to mind.

            It’s one of those old names that has fallen out of use, probably with some help from the modern slang usage.

        • SLG says:

          Fanny = vagina, for British people.

          Fanny packs were called ‘bum bags’ back in the day when people actually used them.

      • Nate says:

        Wow. I eat this.
        I never looked at the packaging. Only 11% pork! 89% crap! Ouch.

  51. someone says:

    a faggot is a british hamburger with giblets.

  52. Mr Dino says:

    WTF? who the heck gonna eat that? LOLZ

  53. fnnkybutt says:

    ” Faggots were originally made with pig’s liver and offal ”

    Just – ew.

  54. Marisheba says:

    I think this is a reader fail not a packaging fail. In the UK that just doesn’t sound weird.

  55. Paul says:

    For hundreds of years there has been a food in england called faggots, you twatty yanks just turned it into a swear word. It’s not politically incorrect in the slightest your country is just retarded.

    and the other package is a cumberland pie, which is shepherds pie made from beef not lamb

    Idiots

    • fepic ail says:

      getting pissed off over something on the internet FAIL

    • Hepcat says:

      Mmm hmm. And you wouldn’t mock an American advertisement with FANNY PACK in huge letters on it, would you?

      Oh of course not.

    • Dragonwriter says:

      GADZOOKS! We have another humor-impaired reader, boys! Sound the sirens!!

      *whEEEE-oo…whEEEE-oo…whEEEEE-oo……*

      Don’t worry! Someone from the National Association for the Humor Impaired will be here soon! They have very advanced technology that can unstuff that shirt and pry that superior sneer from your lip…you’ll be all right!

    • blackbelt says:

      all your faggots are belong to us

    • Addict says:

      it seems u cant participate in a little immaturity to brighten up your day.
      Your parent never loved you did they?

    • cottage pie says:

      no,
      sheperds pie = lamb
      cottage pie = beef

  56. Crinkledstraw says:

    “I’ve nothing against faggots, I just don’t fancy them.”

  57. elsestar says:

    now thats what sean kingston keeps eating all the time!

  58. ReTARDIS says:

    REAL PRODUCT FAIL.

    PHOTOSHOP WIN.

    :D

  59. Jordanwb says:

    Near where I live there’s a company called “Brain Hunters”. I’m not kidding,

  60. Tim Worstall says:

    Slight fail up above. The rugby team is sponsored by Brains the brewers, not Brains the butchers. A close run thing with a rugby team I know but….

  61. But… but it’s in a rich West Country sauce!

  62. Rise says:

    Yummy!

    They look nasty and have a weird name, but they are awesomee! :)

  63. MrBrain says:

    Don’t gobble faggots.

    Take your time to chew and just savour the taste.

  64. LouZha says:

    In america, faggots pork you!

  65. durr says:

    no worse than gobbling down a juicy jumbo wiener

  66. Apoch says:

    Thank god I’m not the only one who noticed the cut off job at the bottom right of the picture with “cum” haha. Then again, if I had footage of when I worked at Pocono Downs, they had a horse named “Cum On Windswept”. Racing horse name fail if I ever saw one.

  67. natalief says:

    Just because the word ‘faggot’ is often used for a new and erroneous definition these days (a bit like ‘wicked’ and ‘cool’ does not make this packaging fail. Faggots are, as this packaging correctly says, a traditional pork recipe that originates in the south west of England and is not dissimilar to meatballs.

  68. Llllllllllllllll. says:

    Hannibal Lector’s brokebackbacon appetizer

  69. heather says:

    Mr.-Who’s-what-now?! o.O

  70. Xos says:

    Pork faggots, another name for San Franciscan cops.

  71. Harley says:

    GODDAMN IT BRITAIN, WE ADOPT AMERICAN SLANG TOO!

  72. Harley says:

    DAMN IT, BRITAIN!

  73. stanley says:

    It works the other way as well, with Americanisms which are screamingly funny to Brits. Pity the poor Yank who comes here called Randy, and as for the different meanings of fanny….

  74. KJ says:

    Bollocks to ‘fail’.

    Faggots mushed up with mash and peas is a meal fit for Gods.

  75. Your ma says:

    I dont see the fail. Faggots are a type of food

  76. Bob says:

    obviously fake, almost every single FAIL on this site is fake, pisses me off cuz i wanna see the real stupidity of humanity not what people cook up in photoshop.

    • J says:

      fail at reading all the comments.

      I’m British and find Pork Faggots and Spotted Dick funny :)

      Although a fanny pack is much much funnier..

  77. KendallJaye says:

    What is in the package in the bottom right corner????

  78. bascule says:

    Does nobody read posts fro the beginning? The 2nd entry tells you it’s cumberland sausage and no it’s not a fake – if you read about halfway up there’s a wikipedia link!

    Forum read – FAIL

    ;)

  79. mike says:

    I went to school with a kid named Randy Poofter. No shit.

  80. and why WOULDNT anyone want some faggoty pork action? sign me the fuck up!!!

  81. Stuart says:

    Yep, ‘faggot’ has a diffrent meaning in the UK, as does fag… which is a cigarette or a servant at a public school (a public school being a very expensive private school).

    The reverse is true of the word wanker – innocuous in the US, offensive in the UK

  82. K-Pax says:

    My Dad used to love eating these pork faggots, what with him being a West Country boy and all. I never understood why he liked them, they’re foul.
    Also, on a side note, I find myself quite surprised at how something with the word ‘faggot’ in could create such a long and repetitive discussion, mainly based around how funny the word ‘faggot’ is and how it means ‘gay’.
    Dear me.

  83. anonyman says:

    first, next is gay!

  84. Clay Aiken says:

    Gay as a summer hat!

  85. Guy Over Yonder says:

    BRRAAAIIINNNSSS….

  86. Ollie676 says:

    NOT A FAIL

    faggots are like a massivly old tradional use for left over meat..
    lol they probably called gay people faggots cos they like eating weird meat xD

  87. Moneyballs2 says:

    Has nobody else noticed the other part of the picture, Not the “CUMberland” but the “COTTAGE pie” which is a reference to “Cottaging”…

    Cottaging – “Cottaging is a gay slang term referring to anonymous male-male sex in a public toiler”

    EPIC FAIL. (to everybody that commented and never noticed!)

    That would be all.

  88. Llllllllllllllll. says:

    Hannibal Lector brokebackbacon appetizer and rosie o’donnell fail

  89. kent says:

    For all non-Brits:

    Next time you’re in London, be sure to pick up a delicious late-night dinner from a Brain’s Faggots stall on Hampstead Heath. They also do cottage pies, and, if you’re lucky, a bit of cumberland sausage. Just ask a local.

  90. Madd says:

    It looks more like “Pork 4 Faggots.”

    Number placement FAIL.

  91. something slight says:

    Homer Simpson: mmmmmm. pork faggots! *drool*

  92. Joanne says:

    These things were called ‘faggots’ way before ‘faggot’ got the meaning it has today. They’re a traditional British food, disgusting though they may be :P

  93. Arrok says:

    the sad thing is are that these are real in great britan

  94. Arran says:

    USA fail

  95. Cellie says:

    faggot is a kind of food..

    epic fail/win?

  96. mr_tree says:

    i’ve tryed these before. i admit they were slightly dissapointing.
    they lacked the pieces of tough gristle and stray pieces of plastic you get in proper faggots.

  97. Annoyed reader says:

    Holy shit if one more person says photoshop, explains what a faggot is, or says something about a fanny i will shoot them, well i would shoot my computer, well it a school computer and u don’t have a gun, but i’ll think of something

  98. Joseph Smith says:

    Am I the only one who sees “CUM” in the bottom right corner?

  99. huckle says:

    Faggotts are lovely.

    Also, a faggott is a bundle of twigs. Also lovely.

    Not to mention ’tis the german name for a bassoon.

    Faggotts really are where its at.

  100. eric says:

    THESE ARE ACTUALLY VERY TASTY!!!!

  101. armanrules says:

    haha they sell them at the store next to us and i said to some one
    how much do you want a faggot?

  102. Uk Guy says:

    Silly yanks laughing at us brits for our yummy faggots, i live to much on faggots on a Saturday night, there yummy :P :P, there like meatballs on gravey

  103. nomdunchien says:

    Who found such a name?

  104. sabrina t. ~♥ says:

    lol ~♥ i go with the people who say they r real

  105. DanRaccoon says:

    the place I work at sells these, I have to look at it all the time :3

  106. Failbot says:

    I ont see a joke in this, the Fail is a Fail

  107. Zombie says:

    Zombies WIN.

  108. forensicmama says:

    I guess some American was poking through a British market and thought it was funny. *rolls eyes*
