Of course it’s not, but a great deal of the people who come to this site are from the US. The US is bordered on the north by an another English speaking country, and bordered on the south by a Spanish speaking country. Because of this, coupled with the sheer size of the US, most citizens have literally zero exposure to foreign languages, and almost no use for them if they take the time to learn, the opposite of conditions in Europe and other parts of the world. It’s no wonder that very few Americans understand a reference to another language. It’s frankly insulting to say that American lack of understanding is due to ethnocentric values and arrogance rather than simple geographical fact, and you only show your own ignorance by implying so.
Floor in german is “Boden”
translation fail!
i never heard that “lap” significates something in german ( i live in switzerland and speak german every day)
Who was that unbelievably hot chick? I was transfixed by her and that smile. I have a vague memory of a person falling down and smacking his face, but lordy, I just can’t remember….who WAS that chick? (And don’t say my mother….I should be so lucky)
Yeah, go watch So You Think You Can Dance. Maybe you’ll be like me: I came for Cat Deely, I stayed because it’s the most awesome reality show not named The Amazing Race.
At this point, the sub-genre of the ” in Soviet Russia” jokes has developed its own sub-genre of using the jokes intentionally incorrectly. Soon that will develope its own sub-genre, and the whole thing will implode on itself.
I disagree. I don’t think sheeple can in fact see the point of a hole thing. Unless you mean it in a literary sense, like some pointed emptiness or a sharp absence ….
its a good thing i wasnt born in soviet russia and then emigrated here because my family is jewish, or i might be very put off by the excessively used and horridly executed soviet russia jokes.
its a good thing.
I have no speakers on my work computer, but aside from the falling and smacking his face on the floor, that whole dance seemed like a total fail. Like a mosquito on crack or something. If it looks ridiculous without music, it can’t be all that good anyway.
Not really, he’s like the only one with a speech impediment. He’s not even that funny, he’s more a TV personality.
I’ve always wondered why americans will call an English person British but not call a Northern Irish, Welsh or Scottish person British.
You do realize that Great Britain emcompasses the entire British Isles correct.
Thus, people from Wales, and Scotland are technically part of Britain. However I will agree that English people are typically only referred to as British, unless you are a clot, and just can’t recognize the difference between the accents and assume everyone is English…
Britain refers to the main island, comprising England, Scotland and Wales.
The UK then refers to all nearby territories in addition to that,
such as Jersey, Guernsey, and Northern Ireland.
ready every-one? RACIST!! (trying for meme: (pron. ‘meem’) A contagious idea that replicates like a virus, passed on from mind to mind. Memes function the same way genes and viruses do, propagating through communication networks and face-to-face contact between people. The root of the word “memetics,” a field of study which postulates that the meme is the basic unit of cultural evolution. Examples of memes include melodies, icons, fashion statements and phrases.)
That would be a pre-determined belief of someone or something.
It has already been determined that white people can’t dance, therefore nullifying a prejudice.
a) everyone is not hyphenated
b) overly and unnecessarily complicated reply fail!
c) [insert Billy Madison Quote here] … may God have mercy on your soul!
I don’t think they’re talking about the host (who’s clearly this Jonathan Ross fellow based on a google image search) but the person they show between the time points 1:02 and 1:05 into the video. THAT person looks like a bloated Don Johnson.
You are the dancing Jew, young and clumsy, look like Ron Perlman
Dancing Jew, feel the beat from the hard dance floor
You can dance, you can jive, plant your face on the floor
See that guy, watch that scene, dig in the dancing Jew
No way. The dance before is bad enough to make you think it’s the real fail. And then boom! you get the funniest fall I’ve seen in a long time. Also the commentary is relevant too. One of the best I’ve seen on the whole site.
i’ll admit it was pretty funny. the best part is you can see where Newton’s 3rd Law really takes place….where his face hit the floor and the floor pushes back
That choreography has some mad history, then, no doubt. They must have been practicing the shit out of that move at Masada. Can’t get no more old school than that.
he fell down and hit his face.
Didn’t notice.
me neither…
Same here, i though it was planned ;d
WATCH OUT THERE’S A FLOOR THERE!
holy crap i always thought it took a conscious effort to fail that hard
Now that’s what I call a lap dance!
FLOOR, MEET FACE.
FACE, MEET FLOOR.
nice to me-::dunk::
why a lap dance?
um, because… floor is lap. in German. k?
cuz everybody knows that…
Cuz English is the only language, and USA the only country in the like, world
Of course it’s not, but a great deal of the people who come to this site are from the US.

EXACTLY!!! VIVA UTF-8!!!!!!
and actually floor isn’t lap in german…. it’s “Boden”
word.
Floor in german is “Boden”
translation fail!
i never heard that “lap” significates something in german ( i live in switzerland and speak german every day)
I´m German and I don´t get it. What are you talking about?!
Why would you call it that, hahahaha.
i thought a piece of his skull went flying off but it was only his retarded little hat
It’s a yarmulke you dickhead. Hopefully that was sarcasm because if it wasn’t you surely are retarded
I knew something was gonna go wrong when I saw a Jewish guy breakdancing…fucking hilarious when his skull cap came off…
God that yarmulke went fuckin flyin!
Sight FAIL!!!
HOLY SHIT YOUR RIGHT
It was photoshopped.
The reflections were all wrong.
So were the shadows.
The DANCE was all wrong.
agreed, white boys should not attempt hip hop
shut up you
n
i
g
ger
what the hells a ger?
It’s the first half of what ghhg puts up his ass to get off.
comment win.
that’s not even a real person probably. possibly alien
One question–seriously.
Who was that unbelievably hot chick? I was transfixed by her and that smile. I have a vague memory of a person falling down and smacking his face, but lordy, I just can’t remember….who WAS that chick? (And don’t say my mother….I should be so lucky)
Kat Deeley or some such spelling of the name
That’s Cat Deely. She’s hostess on “So You Think You Can Dance.” She’s about 8 feet tall in heels.
i’d dance on her…
In Sovjet Russia, they’d dance on you
In both cases, the dance would resemble the horizontal polka.
Yeah, go watch So You Think You Can Dance. Maybe you’ll be like me: I came for Cat Deely, I stayed because it’s the most awesome reality show not named The Amazing Race.
You came for her, eh?
ok, it has to be done.
In Soviet Russia, they come for YOU!
Probably the first correct application of a “Soviet Russia” joke in WEEKS on FAILblog. WIN!
At this point, the sub-genre of the ” in Soviet Russia” jokes has developed its own sub-genre of using the jokes intentionally incorrectly. Soon that will develope its own sub-genre, and the whole thing will implode on itself.
Man i’m crying right now because of this comment, cheers
the surgery wasnt
Not? really?
Atomic bomb by david: you broke an atom and everything explodes
OMFG u jackass thats the point of the hole thing i think sheeple can see that
Sheeple? Is that what comes about when you fornicate with your livestock? Bad human, baaaahd human!
Anyone else seen Black Sheep? *shudders*
That movie was awesome! haha, once i saw him examine his foot where he was bitten, and he had a sheep foot, that won me over haha.
what is the hole thing? A vagina?
Do you really want to bring up a vagina when he’s talking about sheep(le)?
Thanks…now I gotta clean the coffee out of my keyboard…. :p
…now i gotta clean the coffee out of my sheeple!
the soviet russian treat.
In Soviet Russia, sheeple clean you!
In Soviet Russia, Miami Vice top American Show! Also, A Team!
I disagree. I don’t think sheeple can in fact see the point of a hole thing. Unless you mean it in a literary sense, like some pointed emptiness or a sharp absence ….
… or did you mean the tapered protrusion on your vacuum-filled cranial area? Sure, everybody can see that.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA
wiiiiiiiiin.
Fortunately you’re here captain !
captain obvious.
thanks for clearing that he meant captain obvious by captain, captain.
Oblivious boy, the captain needs your help!
Why, what’s going on?
There is a startling shortage of CHEDDAR CHEESE!
In Soviet Russia, obviety captains you.
obviety = word fail
where do you think new words come from?
Germany. They make up new words all the time! Like, oui. and croissant.
ah, i get it, then the french steal them from us, like le shopping, le camping, and cul de sac
In Soviet Russia, spelling destroys YOU!
In Soviet Russia, you would have been pummeled by a street performer’s monkey.
Win.
In Soviet Russia, phrase excessively parodies you. Now STOP.
In Soviet Russia, can’t afford new jokes.
It’s a good thing that Soviet Russia doesn’t exist any more.
In Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia exists you.
smartest comment I’ve ever read
its a good thing i wasnt born in soviet russia and then emigrated here because my family is jewish, or i might be very put off by the excessively used and horridly executed soviet russia jokes.
its a good thing.
In Soviet Russia, floor dance on you.
In Soviet Russia, grammar not work so well.
What’s yer pernt?
no balls he shoulda tried the flip again
He did. You ’shoulda’ finished the video.
You ’shoulda’ realized they were actually showing replays.
Leah = accurate and winning observation
Podgeman = failure to purchase a clue
I believe he turned down a free one too.
Win
Desperate-To-Be-Heard-So-I’ll-Post-Nothing-Actually-Useful-Insightful-Or-Funny WIN!
first?
Really? Hm. Didn’t see it.
Oh you totally ruined it for me!
He didn’t fall — he hurled his face to the ground. Take that, face. Anti-face win.
spiting your face win.
footlose!
Wow, that’s… quite a name
win? fail? i’m not sure in this case…
That entire show is a fail. It isn’t dancing at all. It’s gymnastics and acrobatics.
i want to have sex with that girl
“Suicide” fail.
he not only planted his face… his kicked his own @$$ – literally…
priceless. lol
also.. why does posting require a “URI”? wtf…
cswpntbistbdmwrtwff!
His head is very tiny.
i think the next day, the right side of his head was considerably bigger, in a john merrick kind of asymmetry. O_o
the one on his neck is too
That is the best face dancing I have seen.
I remember when that used to be called “break dancing”. Now I know why….
ROFL!
I have no speakers on my work computer, but aside from the falling and smacking his face on the floor, that whole dance seemed like a total fail. Like a mosquito on crack or something. If it looks ridiculous without music, it can’t be all that good anyway.
Don’t worry. The music doesn’t make it any better.
true but the huge THUD does
agreed
I concur.
Dancer concusses.
THIS! That was gawdawful.
When I started watching it, I figured that the dancing was the fail. Until he went *thud*.
Though I suppose that doesn’t make the preceding dancing any less of a fail…
yeah, I too thought the danciing was painful enough without the face plant
The whole dance was a fail, the face plant was just the punctuation on fiesta of failure.
i actually thought the wretched dancing WAS the fail.
ow fuck
LOL OWNED-
Owned by the floor.
Tore up from the floor up.
ouch!
sex(th)^^
Face dancing win.
My favorite part is when his yarmulke falls off.
lol
Yes, thank God he was wearing his break-away yarmulke. That could have gotten really ugly.
Oh, that’s what that was! I thought it was his brains leaving him.
No, his brains left him the moment he thought, “Hey, I’m a pretty good dancer. I should be on that show!”
Did they leave before or because he thought that?
Mine was when they said “He hit his face a little”. No, he very much hit it, and very hard.
The thud was also kind of pleasing. I wonder if this guy has ever done hurdles?
Word.
in soviet russia, he would be a superstar
Ch ch ch chia: Grow you own face plant!
Oh, thank you ! I laughed till I cried !
that was amazing…thank you for that comment
i like it how he gets up then attempts the same jump again
Was that Don Johnson at the end of the clip?
Miami Vice fail
That was Jonathan Ross – a British comedian/tv person with a speech impediment
Which is all it takes to BE a comedian over there.
Not really, he’s like the only one with a speech impediment. He’s not even that funny, he’s more a TV personality.
I’ve always wondered why americans will call an English person British but not call a Northern Irish, Welsh or Scottish person British.
…Because they’re not British? British people are from Britain. Britain is not Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Pretty simple, really.
You do realize that Great Britain emcompasses the entire British Isles correct.
Thus, people from Wales, and Scotland are technically part of Britain. However I will agree that English people are typically only referred to as British, unless you are a clot, and just can’t recognize the difference between the accents and assume everyone is English…
Actually Britain is part of the United Kingdom. The UK is made up of England, Ireland, Scotland and Fales.
Geography ownage. Perhaps, common knowledge ownage as well.
Britain refers to the main island, comprising England, Scotland and Wales.
The UK then refers to all nearby territories in addition to that,
such as Jersey, Guernsey, and Northern Ireland.
Yes, although England tends to include Wales as part of them, and
ignore us up in Scotland.
What the map says and what the weatherman says are two different things.
Although of course Scotland’s weather is easy. It’s rain.
Great Britain is the island comprising England, Scotland and Wales.
The UK is England + Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland.
Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man etc are not part of the UK: they are ‘Crown Dependencies’ with independent governments.
The British Isles are Great Britain + the whole of Ireland + the Crown Dependencies.
‘Britain’ is not a specifically defined term but usually refers to the UK.
So you’re all wrong. Ha.
I wonder why anyone would pay $9000 for a pair of Queen Victoria’s bloomers.
Did I mention they were size 50? Miss Vicki was a big ‘un.
Don Johnson was on there as well as Wossy.
WTF was Nash Bridges doing there?
In Russia floor dances on you.
He busted more than a move.
I busted a nut.
Over that video?
Appropriate fapping FAIL.
is that at all related to the video, or are you just letting us know?
This is again really old
Confirming the stereotype of white people’s inability to dance WIN!
yes indeed!
ready every-one? RACIST!! (trying for meme: (pron. ‘meem’) A contagious idea that replicates like a virus, passed on from mind to mind. Memes function the same way genes and viruses do, propagating through communication networks and face-to-face contact between people. The root of the word “memetics,” a field of study which postulates that the meme is the basic unit of cultural evolution. Examples of memes include melodies, icons, fashion statements and phrases.)
STFU, everyone knows white people cant dance, IM white and i cant dance, NO WHITE PERSON can dance, especially hip hop my god
What about Justin Timberlake?
I think you just made RoB’s point for him.
Than what about Michael Jackson? As creepy as he is, he can dance, and contrary to the genetics he was born with, he is rather white.
Oh get real, Jacko’s not white — he’s phosphorescent.
That’s a win.. right there
I’m not sure if Justin Timberlake is completely white. His Momma musta fucked a black guy…
RACIST!
Racist or not, it’s true.
Apparently you don’t watch this show..
I mean the rest of the time it’s on…
‘Racism’ implies systemic oppression. Try using ‘prejudiced’ instead.
That would be a pre-determined belief of someone or something.
It has already been determined that white people can’t dance, therefore nullifying a prejudice.
How quickly they forget Baryshnikov… In Soviet Russia, white people CAN dance!
Soviet Russia joke that’s actually true WIN!
a) everyone is not hyphenated
b) overly and unnecessarily complicated reply fail!
c) [insert Billy Madison Quote here] … may God have mercy on your soul!
c) So hot, want to touch the hiney…AROOOOOO…
PRO – CEEEEED.
“i award you no points” would be the correct answer..
Next subject to pick:
“My wife, the Tramp”
oh i hope it catches on.
How am I racist if I’m also white? Besides, white guys playing the race card when someone makes fun of them doesn’t work, I’m sorry to say.
All good racial falacies are based on truths anyway, right?
Yeah…
Damn Caucasians.
Dumb honkeys.
Floor win. Yarmulke fail.
I don’t know, the yarmulke did a little flip and a back spin after. I think it did better than Mr. Face Planter.
Totally agree. The yarmulke was inspiring. Mad grace with some pretty nice hang time.
Hot interviewer sympathy win!!!
I’d have done a faceplant too, in his position; it distracted from the much more dramatic fail of his dancing ability.
yeah that seemed like the best move he had.
dON jOHNSON CAMEO win
reading comments at 10:21 and 10:58 fail
I don’t think they’re talking about the host (who’s clearly this Jonathan Ross fellow based on a google image search) but the person they show between the time points 1:02 and 1:05 into the video. THAT person looks like a bloated Don Johnson.
Capitalization fail, as well.
cAPS lOCK fAIL
Floor meet face.
Face, floor.
Now Kiss.
you may kiss the bride
is that a …yamulke?
What a dumbass! He sucked anyway.
It’s a Yarmulke- a traditional jewish cap
ORLY?
YA RLY
NO WAI!
Is it lolcats yet?
It’s a lolCatDeeley.
oh hai!
kthnxbai
Oh crap.
YAWEH?
He took that pretty well!
Ow.
How did he manage to stand up on his feet after that ? I would have been laying on the floor waiting for the emergencies…
Yeah, it’s “really sweet”, as she said
that was the break dance part…face break dance
I thought the title of this fail was “dancing fail”. That was dancing?
Good pernt.
I think members of this board have seriously grown up… its been so long here without a “jewish guy dancing to hip-hop” joke.
Okay, sing to ABBA’s Dancing Queen…
You are the dancing Jew, young and clumsy, look like Ron Perlman
Dancing Jew, feel the beat from the hard dance floor
You can dance, you can jive, plant your face on the floor
See that guy, watch that scene, dig in the dancing Jew
Everyone together, Dancing Jew!
I lol’d xD
Rofl. Made me gigglesnort! O_X
*claps*
kept it tasteful too
That poor floor…
-Eternity.
I was watching this one and thinking to myself “Yup, he’s a bad dancer alright’ and then WHAM!
I’m almost ashamed to admit I laughed for almost 10 minutes…
Almost…
Truthfully, for me I thought the dancing was the fail until he displayed the world famous “JewBitesWood” move.
Put on your yarmulke
Its time for Hanukkah
So much funnaka
To celebrate Hanukkah
Drink some gin and tonnikkah and smoke your marijuanukkah.
So, did he win? I mean, besides on FailBlog.
Hey you, dancer, sue all those bastards who had anything to do with the floor. Sue every one who touched the floor
I practically GROPED the floor.
More like ‘video editing fail’. The clip needed to be all of 10 seconds long.
No way. The dance before is bad enough to make you think it’s the real fail. And then boom! you get the funniest fall I’ve seen in a long time. Also the commentary is relevant too. One of the best I’ve seen on the whole site.
Is that a yarmulke?
This is so old…
From the creators of face meets hurdle…
Now bringing you the exciting sequel FLOOR VS. FACE!
Blood on the dancefloor.
Michael Jackson reference WIN.
wow…how many bones did that guy break?
Headshot.
am I not allowed to comment on this site anymore? please let me know if there is something I did to offend da’ cheezburger peeps?
I’m just wondering why there was a wet spot on the stage during the ‘So you think you can dance’ auditions.
Did someone feel the need to ‘Flashdance’?
Giant spazz WIN
Pity from Cat Deeley win!
See @ 0:34
His Jew hat fell off. I damn thee.
I’m surprised no one has pointed out yet how much that dude looks like the cockmongler…
I was watching this one and thinking to myself when it was done “REPLAY!!!”
I did that 7 times…
Ooh!! me teef!
This chick is so damn hot!
Cat Deeley Win!
Other than the faceplant, the dancing was horrible!
Jonathan Ross – the presenter at the end – is paid £6 million a year. That’s (counts) $11 million.
FACEPLANT WIN!
For the record, I have begun to enjoy the failblog commenters almost more than the actual content.
Hahhaha, me too!
I think I spend more time on the comments than the actual fails.
Indeed, so do I. The comments make me lol more than the fails ever do.
yep, best part of the fail blog is the hilarious comments.
OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
If a dancer falls on his face in the woods with no one around, would it make a fail?
What is the sound of one face slapping the floor?
i’ll admit it was pretty funny. the best part is you can see where Newton’s 3rd Law really takes place….where his face hit the floor and the floor pushes back
his head kinda bounces haha
For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction… Dance like a spazz, get your ass kicked by the wood flooring.
Hey, he didn’t fell…
It’s an advanced break-dancing move! It’s called “Teethbreaker” and you have to train hard to master it.
Yeah…right.
Grammar fail, and attempt at a joke fail too.
we call that one “the flailing martyr”
jesus created it, thats why we had to let him go.
That choreography has some mad history, then, no doubt. They must have been practicing the shit out of that move at Masada. Can’t get no more old school than that.
*Facecrash*
ouchhh..very fail dancer..he kiss floor. good technic…
Faceplant, When a facepalm just isn’t enough
Faceplant, when a facepalm just isn’t enough.
Double posting, when one comment just isn’t enough.
Win!
who’s teh english prick in da end ?
‘Tis the vastly overpaid Jonathan Ross, once famously described as a ‘jumped-up researcher with a dirty mouth’.
lol
kkthxbai!
I though ground kissing was reserved to the pope… He’s not even christian !
Its a fake, there are no stars and the shadows are wrong
more of a diving fail
ok, so the best part of this video is seeing his legs kinda flop around when he hits. that was probably better even than seeing the face hit floor
Rick Astley lookalike win!
As for the dancing… Fail. In all senses of the word.
I guess he just got RickFaced.
That’s what people do on Hollywood Boulevard to make their faceprint immortal isn’t it?
Too bad for this guy…he was totally rocking ‘The Epileptic Slide’ right up until the faceplant…
i have epilepsy… and i don’t even take offense at that. made me lol too loud to.
Whew! Thanks for that. I knew it was boarderline…I just couldn’t resist.
“You can do it!
Epileptic! Boogiewoogiewoogieeeee”
Play on words win.
I just lol-ed for real in my office at work and had to cover it up with fake coughing..
The nerdy-jew dancing was funny enough, but when he cracked his face, I nearly fell out of my chair.
It’s-funny-when-people-get-hurt WIN!
so you think you can FAIL!
“You are teh dancing FAIL,
Can’t breakdance cause you’re weak and Paaaaale, oh yeaaaaah!”
BREAKdancing WIN?
ABBA Fail.
thanks for setting our people back 5,000 years you ass rag!!!
So you think you can FAIL.
Perseverance win?
no, sorry, that does NOT apply….
He just took FAILING to a whole new Jewish level…
A whole jew level.
I just LOL’d so hard I woke my mother up!
His nose broke his fall
I think to floor broke his fall.
could also be a jewish fail for attempting hip hop.
I thought that he was possessed by the “dance” he was making,
but in the end, he is just a jackass.
Nevermind..
Jewish Fail = Jail?
Pretty fly for a Rabbi?
your rhyme is a crime
hey im a poet and didnt know it
i want to have sex with that hot blonde so bad.
I bet he thinks he is an ostrich, a scared one.
Ouch… I’d cry if my face hit the floor like that.
in 50 years there will be a tree the size of his face cause he did the greatinst face plant in history
SHE WOULD GET IT
I saw this episode of Jonathan Ross.
Poor dancing Jew.
i think im the first to say this but, JEWWWWW! he is wearing a jew cap
you’re a terrible teehee, you should consider another career
stupid yew
