I was there when tis happened you know. The guy on the bottom was acually hanging from the ladder, and the one on the top was letting it down slowly. This is a pic from the first safe moment.
I’d say a supercomputer network became self aware, didn’t kill everyone, and instead focused it’s abilities on creating works of art around the theme of people with ladders that were approx 176cm too short for the job.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think chearleaders, oriental or otherwise, wear hardhats, long black pants, brown jackets, and steel toe boots. As for the meth… it’s actually pretty likely.
It’s blitzed by the way, not blizted. Fail? I think so.
To properly turn someone’s comment back on them, first you have to know how to spell (its silly, not sill), and secondly you need to know what you’re talking about… There are health and safety regulations (not conditions, they don’t have diseases) because someone somewhere got killed because of something. As far as I know, no one has ever been killed by just carrying a ladder (I know this case is a little different due to the guy being on the ladder issue) so I don’t see why there would be regulation against carrying a ladder with your palms (on top of a car, ya, i can see that one). And remember, this picture isn’t from North America, so there probably isn’t a strict health and safety board where they are.
Unless it was a metal ladder…you see if it were a metal ladder it might conduct electricity. And without electricity there would not be very much light. And a day without sunshine is like…night! what was the question?
As if half of the posts on the site weren’t pedantic, or at least attempting
to be! Definitions, correct spellings, grammatical fixes, lectures on
punctuation… The virtual stench of pomposity is more cloying than
the perfume in a ten-cent whore house.
ZOMG you got me. actually i originally wrote “an asian police squad”.
i await the intertube police to take me away for my misuse of
backspace/delete. it was only a matter of time.
The Chinese weigh approximately 47 pounds each, so it’s not THAT impressive. Unless you count the fact that the ladder carrier ALSO weighs 47 pounds. He’s carrying his entire body weight plus a ladder!
Best save your own Bunzai, Buckaroo — yu’re out of your fantasy league. That future momma will terminate your fictional ass with a scientific brilliance and put it on TV.
It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime, so where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing, I have eight different bosses right now. Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
that’s the Ladder man! ladder are his arms! currently he’s saving lots of cats hung in china’s trees, you know, it’s a next gen super hero. was pummeled by a radioactive ladder or something like that.
that’s like the weakest idea i’ve ever read on the failblog comments until this day.
Everyone in this post is now dumber thanks to you.
I award you no points
..and may G-d have mercy on your soul.
I saw some people do something just like this in a circus. And coincidentally, the performers were Chinese. Maybe the circus has hit some hard times and performers are taking side jobs in construction and building maintenance.
It’s just you. His nearer leg is bent out past the ladder’s rail, and so it looks like it dissapears. His nearer leg’s foot is in slight motion, so a little blurred, but is pertty much right beside his standing foot.
I think you are right! Now, what I really want to know is: Is he just up there briefly like changing a light bulb OR is it a long term work detail like …painting! Now that would be upsurd!
Has anyone considered the possibility the the ladder has hooks on the end and is hung from the overhead cabling while the individual at the bottom simply stabilizes the ladder?
ah… I’m sure this picture is real, not photoshopped. I lived in a village in China for a couple of years and I saw people do this all the time. The best was when the power would go out and the neighbors would just bring out a ladder and fix the wires themselves.
Unfortunately, the photo cropping doesn’t let you see the one-legged guy on the ladder too well. He’s balancing a very small, very bendy girl and twenty-seven porcelain bowls.
At what point did the ladder manufacturer think ‘Oh…let’s not put the ladder on the floor and lean it against the building, no, lets do it the hard way and hang it off a cable.’
Here’s a “New Notion”: make the ladder 3 feet longer. Problem solved!
FIRST sure fail
sure, douchefag
I was there when tis happened you know. The guy on the bottom was acually hanging from the ladder, and the one on the top was letting it down slowly. This is a pic from the first safe moment.
Are you Jesus? You seem to be everywhere at once
this fail is actually a teamwork win
Until he falls
I agree! this is a WIN!!
anyone else think photoshop?
i don’t know. maybe you should kill yourself?
I’d say MS Paint
I´d say minesweeper
I’d say Mario Paint
I’d say a supercomputer network became self aware, didn’t kill everyone, and instead focused it’s abilities on creating works of art around the theme of people with ladders that were approx 176cm too short for the job.
Plausability fail.
The Matrix has you.
That must be why I’ve got a hole in the back of my neck and the world smells like squiddies, subteranean raves and salty ball juice.
I’d say he’s an Oriental male cheerleader completely blizted on meth.
There is no spoon.
Only chopsticks.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think chearleaders, oriental or otherwise, wear hardhats, long black pants, brown jackets, and steel toe boots. As for the meth… it’s actually pretty likely.
It’s blitzed by the way, not blizted. Fail? I think so.
It’s cheerleader, not chearleader… Spelling fail at correcting
another spelling fail if you ask me.
Ack, linebreak fail D=
someone beat me.
WIN
But imagination win.
My vote is that it is a real life version of Chutes and Ladders
Second
aw ya biznatch. Mario Paint was the shiznizzle
I love mario paint, specially swatting the bugs.
In Soviet Mushroom Kingdom, bugs swat you.
id say mario kart
looks like a win to me. can anybody here lift a ladder+a human?
I can. but i don’t wanna talk about it
I was thinking that… If he can lift that much in that position… Pretty strong.
Well, thank you.
Ladder appears to be made of bamboo though, which is somewhat lighter than the typical aluminum ladder.
Even so…. still damn strong, and superb balance.
the guy on top of the ladder could be holding onto the roof and not putting much of his weight into the ladder
Wow, recycling all the old stuff already on FAILBLOG!
Maybe we have reached the end……and we are now just putting old stuff in order for the site to continue on….
boring!!!!!
I guess they will have to wait for your next family reunion for more material then, wont they?
Pwnd
Photoshopped
Err, they already determined above that it’s Mario Painted.
Oh wow, couldn’t they have found something to prop it up against?
Like a car..
And yes, I do see that the place they’re trying to get to is higher than the ladder.
So on top of a car would do just fine.
can you take me higher?
to a place where blind men see?
lmfao xD
Don’t laugh. It could be a “CREED” reference.
Well, if he wants to make his own prison…
oy. that deserves fire.
Damn you all for the earworm. I hate that crap.
Better then nickel back.
butt not ass good as a dime dime hula hula
Which isn’t half as good as 50 Cent.
oh silly you – that would be illegal. There are health and safety regulations that forbid putting a ladder on top of a vehicle with wheels!
It’s only illegal if you get caught.
It’s only caught if you get illegal.
Illegle ain’t nuthin’ but a sick bird!
oh sill you – that would be stupid. There are health and safety conditions that forbid putting a ladder on top of your palm.
To properly turn someone’s comment back on them, first you have to know how to spell (its silly, not sill), and secondly you need to know what you’re talking about… There are health and safety regulations (not conditions, they don’t have diseases) because someone somewhere got killed because of something.

Pedantry fail.
Appropriate use of the word “pedantry” win.
As if half of the posts on the site weren’t pedantic, or at least attempting
to be! Definitions, correct spellings, grammatical fixes, lectures on
punctuation… The virtual stench of pomposity is more cloying than
the perfume in a ten-cent whore house.
Never before in my life have I learned more than by reading this blog.
School system fail?
Might be homeschooling win.
Wisenheimer-teaching win.
Yeah, I did know about 10 cent whore houses!!!
Trying too hard to get the burn of the week
Burn fail.

Smart-guy – FAIL
3rd world resourcefulness win.
teamwork win.
actually it is a smart guy win
unless you are talking about the guy at the top of the ladder
America’s Funniest Home Video in progress
That really, really doesn’t look like America to me.
I’m gonna guess China, what with all the Chinese characters. Too bad their money isn’t called dong.
You have honorable yen for dong?
Dime, dime, quarter, dollar.
I give you dollar, dollaR, dollAR, doLLAR, DOLLAR, DOLLAR!! … for all your yen. Exchange rate very good long time.
Pun win! I nearly spewed my coffee!!
I already spewed in your coffee. Enjoy!
It could be San Francisco.
it could. if san francisco had an chinese police squad. or were filming chinese police academy 12.
that’s a Rice-a-Roni burnin’ right there
An Chinese police squad. Now you have to die too.
OH NO! Bullet wounds again!
ZOMG you got me. actually i originally wrote “an asian police squad”.
i await the intertube police to take me away for my misuse of
backspace/delete. it was only a matter of time.
i think they are Romanian
just because it’s not from here doesn’t mean it isn’t ours.
American foreign policy fail
that guy down there is strong .. wow!
The Chinese weigh approximately 47 pounds each, so it’s not THAT impressive. Unless you count the fact that the ladder carrier ALSO weighs 47 pounds. He’s carrying his entire body weight plus a ladder!
Sara Dangerousness Jiggawatts.
I disagree.
Miss Jackson if you’re nasty.
Awhooghi?
So it is another plain jane!
Jiggawatts sounds much better as a last name.
SO close! It’s actually a plain Jean. The last name is a C.
It would be easier to guess if I knew anybody with a C last name..
Best save your own Bunzai, Buckaroo — yu’re out of your fantasy league. That future momma will terminate your fictional ass with a scientific brilliance and put it on TV.
Wait.. Wait.. Wait…
You’re using a pseudonym?
No, I’m straight. And a woman.
Oh… pseudonym!
-__-
I’ve angered the Bun.
That’s “Thedabun” to you. Miss.
No problem. And that’s Mrs. to you, Mr.
I wanted it to be more dramatic.
Hammer.
stop chitchatting fags, sara is clearly a man
Never take chances Urehain.
Clearly! This big pregnant belly proves it.
I saw what you did there on Oprah.
Attention all! This are serious thread. No chatting allowed!
Serious people are boring and dull.
All hail lord Sheogorath.
… whose motives are unknowable.
Or is that who’s?
A pregnant woman on the internet? ::masturbates::
That’s quite enough of that, sir.
no sirree — comments wont nesty below that level
But the nasty seems to be coming through just fine.
Pregnant!!!! how did that happen?
You see Radar, when a man and a woman love each other very much…
Oh! a bedtime story…this is my favorite!
Questions below the level of adolescence seem to be coming through just fine.
Coming. Heh heh.
Jebus, there’s cows outside with nothing on. Wake the babies in the Minivan.
hide the cow’s outside!
Hence the pregnant.
Yes, all the cow’s outsides should be hidden!
Radar coming in under the level.
Put a damn sweater on those cows.
Hide! Whose afraid of a cow! Hey! What happened to my story?
Bandon’s ha lowers the underscore.
*wanders in*
Right! What’s all this then??
…*reads*…
STOP THAT! That’s silly!
*turns on PBS*
Finally, SOMEONE wants to expand they’re mind.
*set’s Sara’s alarm for 9pm*
Expand ‘they’re’ (they are) mind? I guess it’s not you..
Next Time on Grammarians’ Corner with Dragonwriter and RogueThree, “Common Internet Typing Mistakes.” From 9pm Tuesday ’til 9pm Friday. Only on PBS.
Oh, E. Next time, figure out what YOUR talking about before you go correcting other people’s grammar.
*snork*
Yea E……..wait… what are you guys talking about?
cee cee, I wish I knew how to quiet you …
lemme try this … *smooooooooch*
Heh, looking up the list of last nested replies….
Oblivion reference win
That’s what she said!
Strong fella
I don’t consider this a fail…yet.
But it will become a fail if the guy on the right fails to resist the evil urge to tickle ladder-holding guy.
Oooo someone photoshot that rite away! plz thx!
…. I also want to see wet spot from laughing to hard!
Or use some Chinese itching powder on his neck!
Wow, that’s actually really dangerous!
Yes. It is.
why?
more like a strength win.
Look at the guy standing next to him! help fail! what a dick
He’s supervising.
And he’s being supervised by the supervisor supervisor.
The guy with the white shirt that’s half into the right part of the picture is the dick.
He either has his arms crossed, or in his pants.
Arms in his pants? ::masturbates::
Masturbates?!
::masturbates::
:: masturbates x 10::
:: Chopchops ges blind ::
o no no o
I CAN’T SEE THE INTERNET
I’m a homosexual and this is the first time I’ve told anyone.
Absolute win.
Who watches the watchers?
It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime, so where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing, I have eight different bosses right now. Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
how’s your new job at penetrode?
Office Space Win
You are a bad person Sara J
Aww, Radar… you don’t even know me! But I guess you’re right. After all, we’re all bad people.
no no no – it was a “Office Space” comment!
For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Office Space.
Will that be you new tattoo slogan? I recommend you get a heart with a knife through it with those words around it or maybe some vines.
The flirst time I red that I thought it said the orgy of Orifice Space.
I gotta get some glasses on my eyes.
Come On
Total fake. No one can lift a guy and a ladder like that!!
ever tried? Some people can lift three times their weight, and i don’t believe that a bamboo-ladder is that heavy.
Of course ppl can. They do it in animes all the time…..and animes never lie.
Oh Shut up and LOL already!
Lol!
Short people…short ladders…
(lol even if this a Prejudice Fail)
it would be an understanding fail. Prejudice WIN
as health and safety inspector, i insist you put a crash-mat under that ladder!!!
*angry face* *evil-looking glases* *oficial-looking clipboard*
Well, it’s been a long time since I laughed like that. *Dies*
innovation win
that’s the Ladder man! ladder are his arms! currently he’s saving lots of cats hung in china’s trees, you know, it’s a next gen super hero. was pummeled by a radioactive ladder or something like that.
that’s like the weakest idea i’ve ever read on the failblog comments until this day.
Everyone in this post is now dumber thanks to you.

Billy Madison win!
Extreme Hi5 -just like The-Todd-
*snaps fingers*
Damnation five!
Scrubs Reference — WIN!
In Communist China, ladder climbs you!
Fail.
In Communist China, ladder climbs your mum. (I definitly had to much coffee and to many people telling mum-jokes to me to-day.)
mental sanity fail
Who said, that i tried to be normal? I know that I am insane. And I like it.
diagnosis fail.
This does not overrule previous poster’s diagnosis however.
You’re right Khan. Laerador, logic fail!
But in his own insane mind, the logic works.
Mum’s the word.
I saw some people do something just like this in a circus. And coincidentally, the performers were Chinese. Maybe the circus has hit some hard times and performers are taking side jobs in construction and building maintenance.
Upper body strength win!
Did Sara J just post something?
Something about the Shanghai Police Squad in their minivan ?
Put on your sweater, dear.
Ha ha ha, you said sweater…
cows
I see what you did there on PBS …
cows are for babies.
Your sure?
My sure is your taken; leave me to my National Geographic.
*covers RogueThree’s eyes*
*cee cee covers eyes too, but peeks a little*
^ someone is bitter for being called a baby.
^^^^ someone is sweet for the babies
78th !
Simpsons did it!!!
Is it just me, or does the guy on the ladder only have 1 leg?
I would have loved to have watched him hop his peg-legged ass up there.
I think hes coming down… either way… it would be hystarical to see how he got down the rest of the way
*cue benny hill theme*
I’m just waiting for the guy holding the ladder to start climbing up!
Cartoon physics WIN
colours can be very confusing sometimes !
2 legs are there but he will soon have no use of them !
It’s just you. His nearer leg is bent out past the ladder’s rail, and so it looks like it dissapears. His nearer leg’s foot is in slight motion, so a little blurred, but is pertty much right beside his standing foot.
I smell a photoshop failure!
I think you are right! Now, what I really want to know is: Is he just up there briefly like changing a light bulb OR is it a long term work detail like …painting! Now that would be upsurd!
look at the man on the ladder, he doesn’t have the left leg… i guess it’s photoshopped…
Typical Japanes fail
Typical spellin fail.
Not to mention typical countr identificatio fail.
Spelling fail fail.
Thank you. Come again.
Sigh. How many times do I have to explain this to you people?
’til the cows come home, ‘parently.
Sarcasm detection fail!
Lnuxguy in delinquo flagrante
That’s not a ladder fail, it’s a
Safety FAIL, Arm strength WIN
I completely agree
My guess is the ladder is hooked at something on the wall somewhere in the middle. Hercules is just ckecking for stability.
Has anyone considered the possibility the the ladder has hooks on the end and is hung from the overhead cabling while the individual at the bottom simply stabilizes the ladder?
No, that’s impossible. That would make all of the above comments a total waste of time!
lovely possible metaphor on human life and history…
Obviously a scene from a Jackie Chan movie…
artful win, marshall
ah… I’m sure this picture is real, not photoshopped. I lived in a village in China for a couple of years and I saw people do this all the time. The best was when the power would go out and the neighbors would just bring out a ladder and fix the wires themselves.
Circus training win!
Number One Most Best Quality Fail
Unfortunately, the photo cropping doesn’t let you see the one-legged guy on the ladder too well. He’s balancing a very small, very bendy girl and twenty-seven porcelain bowls.
bats win, acro
Superstrength win!
At what point did the ladder manufacturer think ‘Oh…let’s not put the ladder on the floor and lean it against the building, no, lets do it the hard way and hang it off a cable.’
Here’s a “New Notion”: make the ladder 3 feet longer. Problem solved!
“Hey, can you help me and hold the ladder up?”
“Yeah, sure. I can… wait… what?!”
This is stupid. Why the rash of completely unfunny fail pics? SUM1 ESPLANE PLZ!
Ya i remember laughing my ass off when i found this site… It’s gone. All this is about now is “First”, who burns and who has got the best grammar.
looks quite safe to me…
rofl copter!11
What do you mean FAIL?
Epic win because that guy’s freakin’ strong!
I agree…WIN!
does anyone else see that the guy on top only has one leg?
Strength Win I’d say
“here Ted hold the ladder plz”
This isn´t a fail imo, it´s clearly a Win!
chopsticks FAIL
FAIL???
thats Uber cool man
I don’t know why you kids think this is a FAIL. It’s clearly an unbelievable success.
Exactly, balls (and arms) of steel WIN, clearly…
the ensuing scene was too graphic for human eyes to see.
S U P E R M A N……………WIN
HAHAHAHAHA HELLA StUpId!!!!
Has nobody noticed the guy at the top has only one leg! Double win!!
