  1. charles says:

    Grammar fails are so great

  2. Simmo33 says:

    FIRST! Next is gay!

    • Oh my gosh says:

      Dude, YOU’RE gay for posting “first”, you freaking childish idiot.

      • thepittfan says:

        im sick of people calling each other gay. there is nothing wrong with being gay for gods sake

        • Trainwreck Chaser says:

          Nope. nothing wrong with being happy!

        • cksmoker says:

          Maybe the people are gay, and it’s more a point of fact than an insult. Like, “hey, you’re gay”, with a response like “yep, I’m gay”

          I dunno, you’re probably right, they’re just being jerks.

        • wonder mutt says:

          I was under the impression that god was not incredibly happy with gays.
          So being “gay for gods sake” seems unlikely.
          Or perhaps “gay for gods sake” is limited to alter boys.

          • Zygrant says:

            I bet any “alter boy” ( I assume you mean “Altar”, you homophobic asshole ) could easily kick your nerdy ass out on the street.

            • wonder mutt says:

              Wow!
              You’re correct, I did mean altar. My bad.
              I would suggest that you schedule a visit with a psychologist to deal with your anger issues. The psychologist would also be able to help you to deal with being sexually used by a priest, as you obviously have been.

            • chris says:

              if you ever went to Mass which I no longer do, you would learn that God hates homosexuals. I heard that if they accidentally try to walk through the pearly gates instead of go to hell, he curbs them…..hard.

              • Happeh Hippeh says:

                Oh yes, because God is a judgemental homophobe in the sky who can’t even control his own creations and so created a toasty warm naughty corner for all the galavanting, man-humping naughty boys to go to.
                Oh, and how can you ‘accidentally’ walk through the pearly gates? I’m pretty sure you’d know what they were, because:
                a) they’re pearly;
                b) they’re gates; and,
                c) you just died.

          • latm says:

            Nah, just the priests.

          • . says:

            No, he really does hate the gays, but he thinks lesbians are the shit.

          • flingthecow says:

            Well maybe if God had been concentrating more when he was making stuff, instead of playing Wii, he wouldn’t be so annoyed about making the gays. He’s only got himself to blame.

          • AE says:

            Isn’t “sake” a nice plum based wine from Japan?
            So wouldn’t “gods sake” be the sake of gods? It’s not possesive so it’s like the difference between “cats food” as opposed to “cat’s food.”
            And then if one were “gay for gods sake” wouldn’t that make them “really chuffed for that excellent sake?”

          • thepittfan says:

            so now were bringing god into this? man people are screwed. good thing im an atheist. if your god hates gays, why did he make them? isnt god like not supposed to hate to begin with? being gay isnt a ‘choice’ its just how some people are. maybe i seem prudish but if you go around calling people ‘gay’ and one of your best friends is gay but you don’t know it, they will never come out and may hate themselves for being gay. not only will that lead to low self-esteem, but then they could end up living a lie, which is one of the worse things to do to yourself or anyone. sry if im screwing up failblog here, but this is an issue i feel strongly about. ur stupid insults could maybe kill someone you know and love. think about that plz

            • Malfeasant says:

              would you like some cheese with that whine?

              • thepittfan says:

                american apathy strikes again

                • Malfeasant says:

                  not because of me, i wasn’t around in the ’50s
                  for the record, let it be known i have no problem with gay people. the thought of the act of sodomy repulses me, but then again, i don’t like mustard, and you don’t see me calling for more condiment controls. i am not opposed to gay marriage either, the state sanctions marriage because it has a stabilizing effect on society, if 2 people decide to pair up, each of them are less likely to engage in risky and destructive behavior because they are no longer the only one who would be hurt by it. I don’t think it makes a difference whether the pair are m/f, m/m, or f/f.
                  on the other hand, i will call something gay if i think it’s stupid. this does not imply that i think gay people are stupid, its just a figure of speech. i think most gay people understand this, and can tell from the context that i am not intending to be hurtful. if it offends you, sorry, but you can’t control those around you, so get used to it. growing up, people called me creepy, weird and a freak, geek, nerd, whatever (still do in fact :D ), i had to get through that as part of the process of growing up, and i survived. if a person kills him/herself because they are too thin-skinned to shake off derisive comments from others, i’m sorry, that person has solely him/herself to blame.

                • DrPwnage says:

                  Jacob, The Little kids weren’t around in the 50’s. Neither was I. We contributed in no way contributed to your grandfather’s death. Think twice before
                  you say things like that.

                • OrphicLuminosity says:

                  Actually, if your grandfather would have thought that it
                  was okay to be gay his whole life, you probably would
                  have never been born.

                • Jeora says:

                  There are kids dying in Africa and fat women getting pissed off that McDonalds has crappy customer service. Nobody cares about your grandfather.

                • obvious says:

                  Jacob, if it weren’t for the “oppressive society” telling your grandfather to no be gay, You Wouldn’t Be Here! Is that what you really want?

                  • itwasntme44 says:

                    yes

                    • Quartz says:

                      Woah, cool the jets. Calling someone “gay” on an internet comment doesn’t mean that they are homosexual. For that matter, it doesn’t personally reflect on them at all. It’s someone else expressing their opinion, albeit in a simplistic and fairly low-brow way. It’s similar to being called a bitch. You’re not really a female dog, but that isn’t what was intended. It’s a figure of speech. Treat it as such.

                • Mei says:

                  Erm, my DAD wasn’t even alive in the 50s… ANd if he killed himself, how are you in existence. I don’t know much about necrophelia, but I’m pretty sure they can’t mate :o

                • munchy365 says:

                  Excuse me, but weren’t you the one who just said
                  “Sympathy FAIL!” a few comments above?

                • Concerned Citizen says:

                  Wait.. you freak. What was your grandpa doing to a bunch of 12 year olds to make them call him gay? Maybe your grandpa wasn’t so much gay as he was a freaking PAEDOPHILE.

        • dude mann says:

          personally I use “ghey”… I find it less offensive and much more 1337

        • ur a meatball says:

          THE UBER FAIL the nerd drops of the deep end on his path to getting laid

        • Steve says:

          …Except for the FAIL at perpetuating the human race…

    • Louis says:

      Yes, I am very happy thank you.

  3. Clathi says:

    I’ve seen worse…

  4. Puuka says:

    Simmo33 needs to stop projecting his feelings on to others.

  5. Joe says:

    FIRST fail

  6. Josh Justice says:

    The best part is that “maybe if you’re learning” is pretty questionable, too. “Maybe if you were to learn”, perhaps?

    • Nwabby says:

      Sara J obviously built that sentence to contain that “fail”.

      • Sara J says:

        Thank you, Nwabby. Finally, someone got it.

        Everyone else = recognizing ironic continuity fail.

        • ND4life says:

          Oh, I got it. If it makes you feel any better. I just have too much faith in humankind and assumed everyone else would get it too. After reading through the comments on here, I have reconsidered my position. People are dumb. End of story.

  7. DP says:

    isnt’t it you’re instead of you´re?

  8. jonathan says:

    another thing that is “PRETTY QUESTIONABLE” is why you sent that comment in the first place.

  9. Amanda says:

    how do you get the “burn of the week” to show up? all i see is the “click to view” picture… or is that a fail in itself? XD

  10. sometimesilie says:

    First!

  11. eTX says:

    Heh. You guys crack me up.

  12. F/\LLEN says:

    life is short … play more

  13. jenbrooke says:

    The grammar issues win out of these 3, hands down. Hilarious how correctors are incorrect as well…

  14. Lathspell says:

    stop laughing about Americans EPIC FAIL
    they are always so inventive :) )

  15. Carroll says:

    I think we should quit trying to find grammar “fails,” and instead look for grammar “succeeds.” It’d be a much tougher search, I think!

  16. amira says:

    there’s nothing wrong with gay people ^^ they’re and talk all cute and sassy. :D

    insult fail!

  17. j says:

    yore all horrible grammarians

  18. damnyouall says:

    In America, epic fails you.

  19. tweece says:

    the rest of the sentence matters too, man. .

    • Dragonwriter says:

      Actually, green_guest is completely wrong. The word “your” does not fit with the preposition “which”. Also, without the contraction (you’RE), the verb is wrong because “learning” is in gerund form and needs the “are” as the auxiliary verb. The possessive “your” contains no auxiliary verb for the gerund.

      /complete geek moment.

  20. jonathan says:

    ha, no reason to resist this! “GRAMMARIANS” isn’t even a word retard!

  21. Nibbler says:

    Photoshop!

  22. jonathan says:

    Ok, that was epic win for you carroll. +_+

  23. Carroll says:

    How about “grammaretards”? That ’bout covers it…well, at least until the bad spellerarians come to play.

  24. jonathan says:

    ……

  25. Carroll says:

    Spellerarians, come out and playeeay (a “Warriors” reference for you young pups!).

  26. Guess Again says:

    wow…”grammarians”…ha ha

    I think jonathan’s “……” illustrates my surprise as well…or speechless gape.

    • jonathan says:

      well i guess it would be both? who knows. the only thing i am thinking is HOLY CRAP!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE LONGEST FREAKING BURN THREAD I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!

  27. Eduardo says:

    OMG i’m laughing my ass off XDDD

  28. Chelleeo says:

    FailBlog and y’all make my life! :-P

  29. Omega says:

    It always remember me: “All your base are belong to us”

    \o/

  30. jackie says:

    2nd one = serious win. ’nuff said.

  31. trillium13 says:

    Oh, I’m so proud-I need a kleenex, I’m tearing up here. Thank you God for providing me the stupidity to not proofread.

    /was involved in epic grammar fail

  32. YoNer says:

    I’m laughing so hard I can’t even think…so…

    Last!!!!

  33. Suellen says:

    This can’t be right.
    Who did I burn? Sophocles??

    • Magical_Trumpy says:

      Yes!!!
      And he’s dead so he can’t do shit about it!!
      also 10th grade English teachers needed to get burned.

      (And +100 win points to you for actually making a witty and intelligent joke on the internet.)

    • OuijiBoardofDeath says:

      …What? Are you trying to say Sophocles doesn’t deserve to be burned? You owned his ancient ass! Be proud!

    • fishyfer says:

      Sigh. “Whom” did you fail? Direct object pronoun. If yer gonna be smart, try vein all the way smart.

      • fishyfer says:

        grrr bein

        • theyrejustwords says:

          I’m not sure which is worse. The fact that you used the improper spelling to begin with, or that you then corrected yourself with additional improper spelling. On purpose.

          It’s ‘you’re’ and ‘being’. And if you really want to get picky I could mention your mangled sentance structure as well. But seeing as you’re obviously such a language purist, you’d know that already, right?

      • theyrejustwords says:

        If you’re going to be a pretentious jerk and correct someone else’s grammar, try using spell check.

  34. foreverNERVOUSZan says:
