Maybe the sign is meant to get musicians used to having a lot less money than they think they’ll have…
Likelihood of a person purchasing a $99.99 – $129.98 electric guitar being defined by public concensus as a musician: <1%
WIN
BURN OF THE WEEK WIN
Your gay fail!
Grammar fail! It’s “You’re” unless you’re talking about his/her “gay”.
i think it is the fail that is gay?
No, this is YOUR gay fail!
FAIL! Stop humping Ryan Seacrest!
Tell Clay that
They also did the math wrong. Double fail?
Shut up. You’re a ginger. You don’t have a soul.
I had a gay once. though I had to sell it when it got too big
Always so cute when they’re small but they grow up to be trouble…
(hopefully it wasn’t a baby alligator situation and you flushed your gay down the toilet)
Indeed, when you flush them in the toilet, they turn albino and live forever inthe seedy sewer systems under our cities. No one wants gays living in our toilets…think about it.
Great. I give you a Phail on a scale from Fail to Phail.
Which means you win.
A winner is you.
Now get off my /b/
I don’t even get it.
^^ WIN!
IF THIS IS YOU REPLY OTHERWISE DONT: WRONG “SKYED” MF!!!
True. I mean more in the “just starting out” sense of the word. So later in life, they expect to make much less than they would otherwise think.
kArt Vandalay? Didn’t you used to run with the KKK?
Oh, I agree. I mean more in that “just starting out” sense of the word, where a child receiving that first guitar now already has that jaded life outlook where (s)he expects to earn much less than (s)he otherwise would. Plus the more negative outlook may mean awesome music!
I remember this promotion, I got myself two right away! It’s like 30%! You never get such great deals, must have made a miscalculation… Suckers!
Comment fail.
Understanding sarcasm fail?
Totally! Sucker!
it’s good to see the Vandalay’s can at least agree on SOMETHING
Word.
No, the real failure here is that in three months of working at Toys ‘R Us, I sold no guitars and several trolleys worth of Ben 10 merchandise.
What’s wrong with my merchandise?
Yes, probably *exactly* what they had in mind.
No rainchecks?! I demand to see the manager! You damn well better give me a raincheck! I don’t even mind paying the $99 up front, but you better let me come back later and give you another $29, or I’m calling an attorney!
FAILBLOG FAILURE….
Recycle of Fails is a FAIL…..
Get new content failblog!
NOT A RECYCLED FAIL! SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS FAILS, BUT NOT A FUCKING FAIL
NOW SERIOUSLY. HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO FIND ORIGINAL FAILS EVERY TIME? NOW WHAT? IS EVERY MISTRANSLATION GOING TO BE A ‘RECYCLED FAIL’? WHY HASN’T EVERY PENIS-SHAPED-OBJECT-FAIL BEEN CALLED AS A ‘REUSED FAIL’?
Okay I’m done now.
“Okay I’m done now.” FAIL
I LOL’d!
NOT A FUCKING RECYCLED FAIL. SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS ONES, BUT NOT RECYCLED! MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN DO THE SAME THING AND IT’LL STILL BE FUNNY. WHY HAVEN’T WE ALL STARTED CALLING EVERY “RANDOM PENIS-SHAPED OBJECT FAIL” RECYCLED? WHY ARE ALL MISTRANSLATIONS ORIGINAL? HOW BOUT WE ALL STFU AND STOP CALLING EVERYTHING RECYCLED OR PHOTOSHOPPED?
ITS NOT RECYCLED. ITS SIMILAR TO A PAST FAIL. WHY HAVEN’T WE CALLED EVERY MISTRANSLATION “RECYCLED”? OR EVERY RANDOM PENIS-SHAPED OBJECT? LET’S ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP AND NOT WHINE WHEN WE THINK SOMETHING IS ‘RECYCLED’ OR ‘PHOTOSHOPPED’!!!! (not going for botw here, just PISSED)
HEY LOOK! THAT KID ON THE LID HAS A STRAW COMING OUT AND IT LOOKS LIKE A PENIS! A WHILE BACK THERE WAS A JESUS LIGHTSWITCH AND IT LOOKED LIKED HE HAD A PENIS! IT MUST BE REUSED!
STFU.
recycled comment fail
Reply Win!
Bonus fail for not knowing how your Caps Lock key works, or alternatively, for knowing and not caring.
if THIS is reused, then so is every penis-shaped object fail, because OBVIOUSLY if it’s the same basic concept, it’s a recycled fail.
LET’S STFU AND STOP ACCUSING EVERY FAIL OF BEING RECYCLED OR PHOTOSHOPPED.
gracias
I think this comment is recycled. I’ve definitely seen it before.
Dude.
What you did here is just making sure these comments will be on every page from now on! Make one snappy comment to point out how much of a d*c*head he is and move on. If he can piss you off so much, he’ll do it more and more. Hell I would do it just to get someone so pissed! When I found the site a few weeks ago I was so looking forward to making a “First” comment, because it seemed to make people completely go nuts.
Take it easy or the FAIL will be on you!
…
I´m sorry…
My warning came too late…
…
You FAIL!!!!
Repeat argument fail. I see this argument on every fucking fail.
This fail isn’t recycled. none of the fails you claim are recycled are recycled. So stop claiming it is. They’re not photoshopped, they’re not recycled. They’re original fails. So S T F U!!!!!
Your comment is photoshopped. The perspective on the last !!!!!’s is completely wrong. As are the shadows. and it’s “!!!one!!!!eleven!!111″ so get it right.
I recycled your mom….
I think its stupid..not even funny…*sigh* now to wait for the next fail…
maybe that one will make my day…
Depending on Failblog to make or break your day = FAIL
you (not me) break me up
i lol’d at myself a little bit
This is truly one of my favorite burns.
IT IS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome deal… Maybe I should get two. haha.
Yeah, they have a buy-one-get-none-free deal going on too.
And over in housewares, they also have 2 for the price of 3.
or is it buy get one one fere?
Lay of the rock, son.
I left an eff off of off. It stood for FAIL.
BITCH…YOU KNOW WHAT I WANT?!?!?!
I wonder if math like this would work at restaurants for tipping…
We can only hope…
That´s how Maitre’D applies discounts for frequent customers. No wonder there are so many!
heh, i almost forgot about that douchebag.
Haven’t seen him around in a while. I think he retired in shame. From failblog, not from Denny’s.
I was wondering on that one too. Ive noticed a couple like that, get all pissy and take it too seriously and dissappear.
Perhaps, assuming you have the good accounting sense to do your negative tip calculation in red… like ketchup.
brings me memories of an older post… lol
fail. get off the computer.
You mean like in the way I tip maitre’d?
That argument was so much fun to read.
I once did reverse tipping. You put $5 in $1 bills on the table. For everything they do right, you put a dollar, for everything they do wrong, you take away a dollar. The waitress actually liked it because they had an incentive to do good.
I’d like to see what would happen if they were really bad and at the end of the meal you demanded $7 from the waitress.
I wonder if there is any incentive we can give you to use the words “do well” instead of “do good”
Integration into society. Fail.
More like they pretended they liked it because they knew you were a douche bag looking for any excuse to take away from their dominant source of income.
truth win
Douchebag detector WIN!
Did he mention he was at Scores? Alone?
lol
And if they said they thought you were a douche for doing that, they’d lose 1 or more dollars.
That would definitely be worth the dollar, in my book.
and that’s the difference between good and bad service.. with the good servers you don’t realize you were insulted until you have left the restaurant
YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WOULD BE WAY WORTH A $…HOW BOUT $4-fity
That’s a guarantee that your food has spit in it.
No you didn’t. You stole that idea from an old episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun. I don’t think you ever went to a restaurant at all. Enjoy your pizza.
Very nice burn, my friend (although encyclopedic knowledge of 3rd Rock episodes may border on FAILure).
Way to rip off 3rd Rock From the Sun. It was done in an episode. Fail at life.
This was big long before 3rd rock came out….
Epic fail. With the negative symbol it makes me think they did that on purpose.
I assume that when the sign is punched in the savings are calculated automatically on the printing.
The real fail here is that a sale this good doesnt allow rain checks.
You are right. I worked in retail, and one of these signs would pop up every now and then. I just can’t figure out why in THIS day and age, they can’t make some kind of warning or error message for negative numbers in the formula cells. Or at least something that blocks the print button.
wow, no “FIRST!?!!311″ yet.
you just did it… nice one.
Yeah, way to talk to the pitcher between innings…
hehe, baseball reference win
Hmmm, baseball references always strike out for me.
: D
Piggybacking on bad analogy WIN
Sense of human decency FAIL
Killerwit really hit it out of the park there. Excuse me, I’m going to go beat myself up.
Now that’ll take some balls.
damn, we’re batting 1.000 with these horrible puns. i’d say this thread could use a good closer.
And the crowd goes wild.
Hey guys, I just went to get some peanuts and crackerjacks. What did I miss?
Fepic ail stole FIRST!!
Who?
Some of these are real seventh-inning stretches …
Ida No — didn’t see the play
(too busy trying to get to third base)
HOME! ow. .
I balk at all of you
Hands up how many British people understood that conversation…
*hears only the chirping of crickets*
fuzz, you can’t ‘hear’ people putting their hands up
Do not question what fuzz can and cannot do. Ever.
Yeah. That’s just not cricket.
For God’s sake! Stop the pun-ishment!!
YEPPEERS!
WE SOLVED THIS ISSUE ALREADY: MOM SAID GRANDSLAM IN THE EARLY MORNING DARK.
WHAT DOES THE WORD: “GRANDSLAM” MEAN ANHYTHING 2 YOU??
Must be related to Tim McCarver.
And this wonderful discount will be taken at the register. Does that mean that it will ring up as $99.99 with another line on the receipt for the discount of $29? Yeah, I think I see a potential entry for notalwaysright.com. Except in this case they may be.
i didn’t know about notalwaysright.com, thanks for the heads-up.
Yeah, good call…thanks Bib.
Ohmigawd…one of my favorite sites ever.
Speaking of religion, I’ve heard the Buddhist teaching of impermanence boils down to two words: “Not always so.”
Inflation WIN!
the math itself doesn’t make sense either.
99.99 + 29 = 128.99, not 129.98
Yes, but this sign _must_ be computer generated.
No sane person would calculate -29, and continue.
Perhaps the savings are rounded.
It says guitar pack… maybe you get two guitars for the ’sale’ price? Otherwise, that’s messed up.
$100 guitar = guitar quality FAIL
Yes, but it is a thrift win. I’d get my neice a $100 guitar… but then again, she’s 5. Truth be told, if I wanted a starter guitar, something to just practice on or give to a relative, it’s not a bad price, really. Without seeing it and/or playing it, you can’t really say it is or isn’t a good deal or a quality fail. For its price, it may be an exceptional deal. Hard to know without the facts. That being siad, I’m going to guess, based on the lettering, the store shelf type, and the sign, this was likely at a K-Mart.
I’d rather buy used than K-mart.
that being sad
Goodwill FTW!
Guitar blabber lameness fail.
I’ll have to challenge you on that one. I once bought a guitar for $75 and it sounds great….if you beat it with a stick.
Also Math Fail.. -30$ discount! (well 29.99)
^^^^ WIN.
thank you. i was wondering why it took 40 comments before someone pointed that out.
How about math fail. The difference is $30.
The sign says you SAVE a NEGATIVE $ 29. The math totally works out.
but what you don’t see is the other sigh that says “free tube of KY and a kiss with every purchase.”
COMMENT WIN!!
They can keep their kiss.
If this isn’t a photoshop i am going to kill the idiot who thought this would be funny. Although, they’re probably already dead.
So, if it is a legit fail, you will kill someone but if it’s faked, you won’t? How does that make sense? No wonder you want to be anonymous.
it’s very hard for the store management to correct a sign that has been photoshopped, since the actual sign is still correct. anyone can do that, but if they put a real sign saying that up…
the store management can’t very well correct a sign that was “edited”, seeing as the real sign is still correct and in their store. logic FAIL
and your name isn’t homer.
Way to put three posts together that actually made less sense than one. You’re talented, fat kid. Must be because you get diabeetused up all the time.
you’re still here?
and anyways, the first post got eaten for about an hour. also: YOU CAN’T EDIT POSTS HERE
I hear ya – same things happened to me on other threads.
“and your name isn’t homer”
Maybe its an inside joke or something. but i dont even know how to respond, maybe with something about how your name isnt aaaaanon, or about how stupid of a rebuttle that was. all i can think of is “If it weren’t for my horse, i wouldnt have spent that year in college”
it’s a response to the part where he said ‘no wonder you want to be anonymous’
not reading the argument you’re talking about FAIL
Isn’t that also a math fail? 129.98 – 99.99 = 29.99
It’s new math… ldo
No, it’s software-that-prints-discount-labels usage fail. (discount) = (original price) – (new price). Negative discount WIN!
That’s what I was wondering.
I wonder how much a Yamaha keyboard costs at this place? Sheesh!
$75 with a negative $49.99 rebate by mail.
I’ll write you a check for the rebate, but it will be for -$49.99.
Probably a lot more than the Yarmulke keyboard. that ones lid pops off all the time.
(sorry, thats what popped into my head…)
This screams photoshop to me. That, or it’s a joke by the store owners. Neither of which qualifies as a FAIL.
Or it could be a $129.99 guitar that’s supposed to be on sale for $99.99, and someone just put the numbers in the computer in the wrong order.
wow. just… wow O_o.
Buy a great elec guitar at 129 $………FAIL
toy guitar WIN
Why is FailBlog putting up so many repeats lately? Lame.
stop looking in the “Vote” section then.
this is just sad. i don’t even know where the vote section is and there are too many people confusing it with this section.
Yes, it’s hard to find. It’s hidden RIGHT UP AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE AND LABELED “VOTE”.
WOOT! One of my submissions is actually ON the voting page!
there’s a reason i didn’t know where it is. it might have something to do with the fact that i didn’t care and the fact that i didn’t look for it
WAT A FREAKIN DEAL!!
that sounds Angor-y
hehehe… not really… i do that when i c a good deal!! (jk i dont really ;D )
u should c wats in Cambodia and Thailand, nk
0.o oh my…
I’m surprised that this isn’t walmart signage.
I had to look close too. just in case…
I think you have to had worked there in order to truly appreciate their lunacy.
No, looks like Guitar Center is having their biggest sale of the year! (again…)
It’s real, not photoshoped. Info downloaded wrong and then idot employee can’t see the problem, duh.
Dude the math isn’t even right.
What, you expect mathematical abilities from WalMart personnel?
For what they pay at Wal-mart, i don’t blame the hapless employee who just didn’t care. Hell, for a minimum-wage part time job with no benefits i’d laugh my ass off and keep the joke to myself!
Did anyone notice that a more interesting fail occurred in the actual math of the sign? 129.98 is not equal to 99.99 + 29, the correct answer is 128.99. Although, I sincerely believe this to be photoshopped and therefore not a true bargain fail, I have enjoyed the photoshopping math fail. Thanx.
I already pointed that out, but yeah that is a separate fail.
If this is real, I love the software that did this. You’d think most wouldn’t even allow a negative value in the “Save” field. Kudos on the programming fail that made this possible!
LOL
SOL
DOL
Nobody noticed the mighty power of Lol Sol Dol ?
Best drug after niQuil !
This is now my desktop background! Thanks, Failblog!
it does say save MINUS 29 dollars (that’s what this symbol means – ) which means you have to add 29 dollars which is about right
99.99 + 29 = 128.99
Somebody said it already.
Math Fail
Comments Reading Fail
Nickname WIN
hence use of the word “about”
oh when i wrote this hardly any comments had been made and so i don’t think somone else had already said it
Never buy the ’starter pack’, ‘gig pack’, or ‘music pack’ guitar kits. They’re terrible. That’s why this is worthy of an epic fail.
double fail:
A-you pay more
B-its actually 99.99-129.98=-29.99 which is really closer to -30.
C-fuck grammar checkers-I’m Israeli.
Fake, Notice the perspective of all the different parts of the sign. The top and middle have a different perspective from the price. Also the white of the number 29 is brighter than the surrounding white.
*** Fake, Notice the perspective of all the different parts of the sign. The top and middle have a different perspective blah blah blah ****
My god you’re an idiot.
That little yellow smiley bastard had a dyslexic episode.
This looks shooped. I can tell from the pixels and from having seen a lot of shoops in my time.
I’ve actually seen this in a Sears once, a long time ago. Not the same product, but a situation where they raised the price and actually wrote the negative “savings” in, like it was a formula in an Excel document or something.
and the math is—- almost right , they just could not figure this one out, ladies and gentlemen, the offices of America are now being washed over with an influx of idiocy, the likes of which used to
be restricted to bringing in Wal-Mart shopping carts!!!
angree..
>:(
Actually, that’s a win. It says you save $-29, right? $99 minus($-29) equals $129. I bet a couple hundred suckers actually paid it too, not noticing the negative and thinking they saved money.
ITS NOT FAIL! if you save -29 (negative 29) 29 is added to original.
