Yeah, I was reading this magazine, and this article was written as a joke. The heading above (not shown in picture) said “reason number 11 why men don’t make good advice columnists.”
Hahahahahahahaha best fail ever!!! Who wants to give advice about her no-good cross dressing husband anyway? If the car hadn’t broken down, she wouldn’t have found out.
Lolas may not be the world’s most passionate guy, but with those mighty thighs, I thought you were alluding to how he/she walks like a woman and talks like a man.
do you really think you are fooling anyone cacapeepee? just
your name alone is enough to tell me you reek of Virgin, or in
the most awkward chance you have put your little pecker in
someone, it would have to be some skanky, no self esteem fat
girls giving you more attention than you deserve whic they undoubtedly regretted not 5 minutes later.
Attempted arson mega-fail. Why attempted arson, you ask? Because there was no burn whatsoever in Adoni’s pathetic attempt, but oh, he tried SO very hard to get a spark going. Here’s some one handed applause for your effort.
*SLAP*
defending the immature virgin? you must be in the same predicament. and whats this talk of burning? maybe you’re not a virgin just caught something and regret your poor judgement.
Oops. I didn’t realize it’d appear I was defending our erstwhile virgin, and I offer my apologies as I had no such intention. I offer no apologies for having mocked a poorly written and largely incoherent wreck of an insult. I also apologize for the semi-offensive wording, I merely wanted to offer our perpetrator something which they could comprehend, thus giving them the chance to offer a rebuttal. It was a wasted gesture, and I won’t dignify the poorly worded abomination above with the lashing it so richly deserves.
P.S.- Praytell, what is an “awkward chance,” Adoni?
P.P.S.- Well-played, VieuMove. Well-played.
It was exquistite. Salutations for the reference. I’m two-thirds of the way through The Two Towers in what is probably my tenth re-read of the trilogy.
Ye’ve redeemed yourself with this, Adoni. Your knowledge of fractions and bestial reference have served you well. And as for he-who-should for the love-of-God-be-nameless-because-seriously-what’s-the-deal-there, why do people use upside down smiley faces?
1) Your granny
2) Your mommy
3) Your sista
4) Any female looking corpse
5) This handicapped kid you found half eaten by a crocodile after having gone down a steep slope on her wheelchair.
6) The other half of the aforementioned kid.
Wait a minute here.. I don’t quite follow your logic in this argument..
5) This handicapped kid you found half eaten by a crocodile after having gone down a steep slope on her wheelchair.
6) The other half of the aforementioned kid.
If the kid was half eaten, then does #6 refer to the other half after it passes through the crocodile? That’s kinda icky. And actually what dawned on me just know is that I have no idea what croc poop looks like, does, it look like pellets or like fish poop.. hmm I should need to look this up..
Billy’s father rolled his wheelchair
Up upon a hill
He wanted to take Bill
Where he would not get killed
But he left him on a slope
And into a swamp he rolled
They dragged out his head
But there was nothing down below!
’cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
Passing the time by ending children’s lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp…!
I had a girlfriend of epic proportions. But then she found a way to improve her bulimia by chasing epic pie portions with ipecac potions.
(Followed, of course, by epic cake.)
I am rather curious as to what the answer is, though. I mean, not that my husband dresses up in my lingerie. And paints his body with my lipstick. As he listens to Miley Cyrus.
a not-that-short answer: she can’t get through to him b/c she alienates her hubby by dismissing her hubby’s actions/confessions as untrue or unimportant(i.e…”he tried to make it out to be…”) and issuing the ultimatum.
Also, she’s got issues of her own: she’s the one with the avoidance/denial/alienation issues by not considering or facing her husband’s explanations and just hoping it would go away and everything would be back to normal.
possible advice: stop with the ultimatums; dig up psych literature on depression, transgendered, transvestic fetishism (fyi, he can be perfectly heterosexual and does not have to be transgendered or a transvestite to cross-dress) and both should go see a shrink to help deal with the depression, relationship & the associated cross-dressing behavior. Depending on what’s really going on, she might have to deal with it for the rest of her marriage–if they stay married.
this is reeeeaaaaaally old, I got this sent to me about a year ago, so either my friend is a bigger geek than all of us, or failblog really is running out of gags.
Except that fuel delivery issues aren’t the only cause of stalling and, if you’re going to assume they are, then you should first check that there is enough fuel… Clearly she needs to fill up her gas tank and then drive to Victoria’s Secret to get her husband his own thongs.
I agree, no fail! The advisor addressed the important problem! The rest is really a non-issue!
(And how is it that the Cheezpeeps are allowing such weirdness and meanness on the comments page here? Seriously folks, comment on the item, or just go away! Make your own blog, where every entry can say Bleen or spork or first, or whatever. Loozers.)
Some of ‘em probably still live in their parents’ basement with nothing better to do than insult others most likely across the country. Sad world we live in, Jinx. Hence the fact that this woman fails to realize that she wasn’t asked on why the car stalled.
Jinx,
Your comments on Cheezpeeps and perhaps I misunderstand the intentions of them, but I must reply.
As Keogh, I sat and watched Cheezburger turn from a very funny site into a social site where everyone is there making each other happy, commenting endlessly on inside jokes and, in general, sucking the fun out of the site. I watched as the funny, clever, intelligent commenters slowly succumbed to the flood of precious cat comments, and am, sadly, seeing the same thing happen here. So, in order to keep this site funny, at least some of the time, the weirdness and meanness are necessary parts.
Let me be the FIRST!11!!1!!! to say.
Bleen.
Spork.
whatever.
This place used to be such fun until old farts in the mud starting coming on here and telling us how much fun it used to be.
(Maybe they should stick to commenting on the item.)
Miriam is actually a transsexual. She tried very hard, but as it woke up her inner demons, she reached at the first thing she could find comfort in : her life long automotive passion.
Hmm, I made a comment and it still hasn’t shown up. So forgive me if this is a duplicate post.
But it’s fake. According to Snopes’ Urban Legend Page, it’s a spoof of the actual Dear Miriam column which appeared in the satirical publication “Viz.”
Yeah, I remember seeing this in Viz a while back. The letter and reply are both written by the magazine as a funny spoof of advice columns. So it’s a fail fail??
This is a spoof article taken from the British magazine ‘Viz’. It’s not a real advice column, but meant to be a parody of the inane questions and pointless advice that appear in such columns in the tabloids. The whole joke is that the ‘agony aunt’ thinks the problem is the broken-down car and not the transvestite husband.
Ahaha, the person couldn’t be bothered to read the whole thing, so they read the first sentence, thought the problem was the car, and answered that. Apathy win!
Thanks. Without you stating the obvious I would have never known what the fail was. Finally, after years of not laughing and the doctors telling me I would never again, I laughed!
She’s clearly concerned about the situation with “Mrs. B”’s husband and has decided to skip the whole “getting through to him” thing and just help her with the “getting the hell out of there” thing.
I wonder how many people are reading this while wearing their wife’s high heels and plastered in her make up. I’m not. I haven’t yet applied the Mascara.
Now I remember how my teachers would feel when I handed in a report based on just the first few chapters of a book. “Today, I will talk about a really great book, Harry Potter. This story is about a boy who has to tolerate living under the same roof as his aunt, uncle and cousin. At one point, they lock him under the stairs. In conclusion, Harry Potter is a demonstration of people facing and overcoming adversity.”
Because everyone knows that for health reasons you should never share your makeup. Also, it probably wasn’t even a good match to his skin tone, he needs to go buy his own.
well, you’re just jelaous dude.
besides, they’re pretty funny.. and usually fuzz has good remarks and witty comments (witty as in SMART-ASS)..
JELAOUSY FAIL
Popularity WIN
Dear Mrs B.
I’m not touching your personal issues with a 30ft pole… Meanwhile, here is what you can do to fix your car so that you never see that again…
yeah, like.. after you have sex.. a girl can wear your shirt.. and look cute..
the problem here is.. a guy shouldn’t wear HER lingerie.. it’s just.. not comfortable..
Nothing as long as you wear something that fits. I’ve been known to wear some women’s sweaters and such but frankly I’ve got some added material that makes even thinking about wearing women’s underwear uncomfortable.
I had a bf once who wore my sweatshirts. Look HIGH-larious on him, since I’m somewhat…erm…curvy, shall we say, and had permanently stretched out the front of the shirts.
I dunno about you, but when all is said and done, I’d like to be known for something other than wearing women’s sweaters. Is that what they’re engraving on your tombstone, btw?
This is a mock agony column from the adult comic Viz. Read the rest of this, and they are all about the technical aspect of the poor beggars sexual problem. Check it out.
Does anybody know if this is from a mock agony column from the adult comic Viz? Or perhaps from an amusing comic in the UK called VIz? Or maybe from Viz, an adult joke comic? Or, I was wondering, if it was possibly from the satirical magazine, Viz? Or, how about, that spoof article from the British magazine ‘Viz’? Or, was it a Dear Miriam column which appeared in the satirical publication “Viz”? But, then again, I’ve heard it could be from the UK “Viz” magazine, from a spoof column? But potentially it could also be Viz Magazine, the UK humor mag.
Anyone know?
I think you’re right. I believe you are correct. I have a feeling you are not mistaken. I know that you are spot-on. You strike me as not erring in your judgement.
THis is absolutely from VIZ! This is the premise of the joke! A piss-take of advise columns and missing the point of the question! GOD Americans are so thick!
No, this definately is from viz… they always use either Mrs B, Essex or Mr B, Essex in their stories, write-ins and other stuff like that. So this makes this Fail a huge FAIL!!!! PwnPwn Kthnx
Things were a little shaky for a while, but this is a good one. The failboat is back on track, which of course means it’s heading right for that sandbar
Haha she probably just read the first few lines and thought “well this must be a car problem”, then googled the car problem and copy-pasted the solution
Actually, this is not a fail. The advice columnist was trying to be clever in making her point. Unfortunately, most people didn’t get it. She was trying to say that the car breaking down was a bigger problem that her husband. So what if he likes wearing womens’ clothing? Has he ever cheated? Has he treated her badly or hurt her in some way? No. If the woman would get over herself and embrace her husband’s weirdness then they might have a very happy and sexually fulfilling marriage. Who knows, maybe she has some unexplored fantasies herself? What a perfect opportunity to let their freak flags fly and celebrate each other in new and different ways.
Totally wrong, it’s a comic called Viz, and it’s deliberately making fun of problem pages. They did one before – ‘Dr. Miriam Answers Your Problems’, and it was stuff like ‘ I meant to meet my friend who lives ten miles away, and I was driving there at fifty miles an hour, if I left the house at 3.00pm what time will I get there?’ kind of thing.
Man, if I found my husband wearing my underwear, makeup, and heels, I’d tell him to buy his own damn lingerie and not to stretch mine out and I’d show him how to apply eyeliner PROPERLY.
First!
It’s from Vis Comic
Joke spotting Fail!
Husband win!
if for you the husband wins, that means that you are likely the same, isn’t it?
Are you saying that’s a problem?
I dunno about Eagle, but I’m sure saying that.
oh c’mon
You mean Viz
Spelling fail
And yes. This ‘article’ was meant as a parody.
Yeah, I was reading this magazine, and this article was written as a joke. The heading above (not shown in picture) said “reason number 11 why men don’t make good advice columnists.”
hahahaha skim reading fail
So basically Miram is saying, “TLDNR” in inter-nese.
So basically Miram said, “TLDNR” in inter-nese, correct?
Miriam’s obviously a man!!!! Talks about he knows and ignores the rest!
So basically Miriam is saying, “TLDNR” in inter-nese, correct?

Shire thing!
Lolas may not be the world’s most passionate guy, but with those mighty thighs, I thought you were alluding to how he/she walks like a woman and talks like a man.
Nice song reference!
I believe its The Kinks, right?
Come here. MasterblazeO, lemme take you by the hand
And then dear boy I’m gonna make you a man
All comment below this level were made by douches
Christ that is funny. I *love* stuff like that.
You love to dress up in women’s clothes?
awkward guy…
You could use this as a god reference, I think.

I *love* seeing god when i poke.
Don’t laugh…you’ll still pay.

You love to dress up as a woman?
awkward…
LAST!!!!!
FIRST TO RATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FIRST AND ONLY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY RESPONDS IN THESE BOARDS TO ACTUALLY HAVE SEX…WITH SOMEBODY ELSE…OF THE OTHER GENDER
your mama has sex with me
Clapping your hands as you sing “Kumbaya” in unison does not constitute as having sex.
no but thrusting my rather large johnson into your mama does
Ah, yes. Your “rather” “large” “johnson” is indispensable to you, I’m sure.
Some men actually need it to urinate.
wow
No, he’s right. I read it in a book.
I’m with K. I think he’s over compensating because his mast is mizzen.
Nautical Burn WIN!
First you were having sex with KingDavid’s mama, then with K’s. I’m confused. Next thing, you’ll be telling me you’re having sex with my ma, no doubt.
damn! your mama cant keep her mouth shut!
“Mama”… meaning than other than her mouth, there is something else she cannot keep shut…
The result of which is this awkward troll.
do you really think you are fooling anyone cacapeepee? just
your name alone is enough to tell me you reek of Virgin, or in
the most awkward chance you have put your little pecker in
someone, it would have to be some skanky, no self esteem fat
girls giving you more attention than you deserve whic they undoubtedly regretted not 5 minutes later.
( no offense to big girls )
Attempted arson mega-fail. Why attempted arson, you ask? Because there was no burn whatsoever in Adoni’s pathetic attempt, but oh, he tried SO very hard to get a spark going. Here’s some one handed applause for your effort.
*SLAP*
Virgin fellowship WIN
NICE.
The Fellowship of the Virigns —
a shire thing indeed with these wee folk.
What is this new devilry?
We have a fail troll…
defending the immature virgin? you must be in the same predicament. and whats this talk of burning? maybe you’re not a virgin just caught something and regret your poor judgement.
Oops. I didn’t realize it’d appear I was defending our erstwhile virgin, and I offer my apologies as I had no such intention. I offer no apologies for having mocked a poorly written and largely incoherent wreck of an insult. I also apologize for the semi-offensive wording, I merely wanted to offer our perpetrator something which they could comprehend, thus giving them the chance to offer a rebuttal. It was a wasted gesture, and I won’t dignify the poorly worded abomination above with the lashing it so richly deserves.
P.S.- Praytell, what is an “awkward chance,” Adoni?
P.P.S.- Well-played, VieuMove. Well-played.
I had to look for each and every of those words in a dictionary. >.<”
Glad it made you laugh.
And please disable those automatic sociopath-looking smileys.
It was exquistite. Salutations for the reference. I’m two-thirds of the way through The Two Towers in what is probably my tenth re-read of the trilogy.
none taken, even I wouldn’t do him
if the big girls thing applies to you, i personally like the BBW type
lol my johnson is actually pretty big. about 7/12 inches no lie.
and im not a virgin thank you very much(:
WOW, 7/12 inches!!! thats like, a little over half an inch! and using you half inch pecker on the dog doesnt count.
Ye’ve redeemed yourself with this, Adoni. Your knowledge of fractions and bestial reference have served you well. And as for he-who-should for the love-of-God-be-nameless-because-seriously-what’s-the-deal-there, why do people use upside down smiley faces?
“FIRST AND ONLY PERSON WHO ACTUALLY RESPONDS IN THESE BOARDS TO ACTUALLY HAVE SEX…WITH SOMEBODY ELSE…OF THE OTHER GENDER”
Notice he didn’t say same species… o_O
Probably because he’s not obsessed with thinking about animal sex.
Haha. Touche! *tips hat*
Though we can be sure that that SOMEBODY of uncertain species possesses the same genius.
Or alive
Including and limited to :
1) Your granny
2) Your mommy
3) Your sista
4) Any female looking corpse
5) This handicapped kid you found half eaten by a crocodile after having gone down a steep slope on her wheelchair.
6) The other half of the aforementioned kid.
Mentioning past fail WIN!
Wait a minute here.. I don’t quite follow your logic in this argument..
5) This handicapped kid you found half eaten by a crocodile after having gone down a steep slope on her wheelchair.
6) The other half of the aforementioned kid.
If the kid was half eaten, then does #6 refer to the other half after it passes through the crocodile? That’s kinda icky. And actually what dawned on me just know is that I have no idea what croc poop looks like, does, it look like pellets or like fish poop.. hmm I should need to look this up..
but you doesn’t need to look it up on “2 -halves -of -a -handicapped -kid & 1 croc.”
trust me on this one

;__; why do you have to rub it in???
rubbin it in.. sometimes is the best way to get it in.
don’t cry, it’ll be over soon…lol
Oh ma god Mr Carter, that’s pretty disturbing.
i had sex way before you, how do u think you came about??
I’m assuming u came about in the same way x and f did.
I almost DIED when I saw this on the vote page. It is truly of epic proportions.
(Unlike the pokeable pie, which was of epic portions.)
I had a girlfriend of epic proportions. But then she found a way to improve her bulimia by chasing epic pie portions with ipecac potions.
(Followed, of course, by epic cake.)
Bulimia isn’t funny. However, juxtaposing ‘ipecac’ and ‘epic cake’ in reference to it is a damn fine show of wit.
Thanks. But now I feel I don’t deserve it, so I’m just going to stick my finger down my throat. BRB.
Oh, please… everyone knows a spatula works better…
Please. Everyone knows that sticking your finger in your mouth doesn’t make you throw up.
I don’t know, the extreme front bend required for that is likely to upset anyone’s stomach.
I am rather curious as to what the answer is, though. I mean, not that my husband dresses up in my lingerie. And paints his body with my lipstick. As he listens to Miley Cyrus.
a not-that-short answer: she can’t get through to him b/c she alienates her hubby by dismissing her hubby’s actions/confessions as untrue or unimportant(i.e…”he tried to make it out to be…”) and issuing the ultimatum.

Depending on what’s really going on, she might have to deal with it for the rest of her marriage–if they stay married.
Yeah maybe, but it’s easier to just fix the damn car.
Finding the easy answer FAIL.
You should send your response to Mrs B in Essex, Uk – I’m sure she’d appreciate your advice over Miriams anyday!!
Wow, wit, you know your stuff… seemingly… eh, what do I know.
If your husband is listening to Miley Cyrus you need to get him help immediately.
If anyone you know is listening to Miley Cyrus, you need to get them help immediately.
Anyone who has willingly formed a taste for Miley is a lost cause.
I’m sorry, your husband is officially condemned. D:
hold on here..
K is a woman?!
lol
Women do make up roughly half the worlds entire population
they aren’t just a mythical creature you read about in a book once!
This also means it is quite likely that people on here will be women and it’s not that weird of a concept.
Best. Response. Ever.
*buys da wominz a drink*
why dont i get a drink??… this pretzels..are making me thirsty
OMG you’re a woman too????

please.. note that THIS comment is also filled with sarcasm..

yeah–we got that with the zomglolz0rthelastlolasaur

Well, Ms. Wominz La Di Frikkin’ Da –
I bet your MOTHER was a woman.
No way! Holy shit, you’re a genius!
/sarcasm/
That’s what she said.
/what do you think/
incorrect, i am a robot. my mother was a clammy handed 28 year old chinese man who defragged my c drive unnecessarily
Now, now, I didn’t say that.
That’s what she didn’t say.
I heard her show’s getting cancelled.
I listened to Miley Cyrus only once. My sister was so mad after I smashed her boombox with a baseball bat.
you taught the brat with a baseball bat?
isn’t the answer simple? he wants the best of both worlds.
Too funny!
Fuzz says … Well, as long as he has as long a Hannah Montana banana for you, you should come as freely as you please.
The failblog fails. The letter and reply is from a British humour magazine, Viz. They often run satires of newspaper and magazine features.
This blog’s not as good as it used to be.
/Viz readers’ in-joke.
this is reeeeaaaaaally old, I got this sent to me about a year ago, so either my friend is a bigger geek than all of us, or failblog really is running out of gags.
I would sadly agree with the later – Failblog fail :[
its old, but who gives a shit. still friggin hilarious.
yeah but it was funny a year ago to me. If you can still laugh hilariously at something you laughed at a year ago then you need to get out more.
Just don’t read it a year ago then.
*builds time machine*
zomg that’s the most hilarious thing yet!
wait… I own a time machine, wtf am I doing wasting my life on failblog?! Wiat! What do I mean ‘life?’ I clearly don’t have one…
It is great when Failblog commenters get so used to the burning nature of comments here that they start burning themselves to save others the trouble.
B3nd over and I’ll save you the trouble.
so you’re saying salis has trouble between his/her legs??… that don’t sound good.. you better not be poking him/her or you will pay for it.
Pic reference win!
Do not laugh it sign, we are serious. :[
clever !!!!
yeah I like to cover my own ass before I get bent over and shown what to do with it.

uh?
Masterblaze0 is lost –
doesn’t know his “*At” from an “it” in his post.
Oh! I see it now, k, cheers fuzz.
This is one of the funniest
Where is the FAIL?
This is good advice on a car stall
social issue realization FAIL
Sarcasm detection FAIL, or else Cpt. Stating The Obvious, reporting for duty FAIL
Except that fuel delivery issues aren’t the only cause of stalling and, if you’re going to assume they are, then you should first check that there is enough fuel… Clearly she needs to fill up her gas tank and then drive to Victoria’s Secret to get her husband his own thongs.
Haha. Now THIS is a good solution.
WIN
It’s f*cking awesome. Yet, i don’t think it’s real. Maybe a fake one?
This is not a real fail. This is from Viz Magazine, the UK humor mag that brought you The Fat Slags and Johnny Underpants.
- Mrs B., Essex
I’m pretty sure this is from the UK “Viz” magazine, from a spoof column.
I am pretty sure it’s been reported a few times already, including in the previous post.
I agree, no fail! The advisor addressed the important problem! The rest is really a non-issue!

Hell, if the old farts can still come on here, they ought to be happy and having fun.
This is faked, for those who.. needed to be told.
You know who you are.
Miriam is actually a transsexual. She tried very hard, but as it woke up her inner demons, she reached at the first thing she could find comfort in : her life long automotive passion.
If she couldn’t have a phallic object between her legs, by damn she’s gonna put ‘em in cars.
she is just mad because it looks better on him.
the car looks better on him? Only if he gets it to start.
Man boobs WIN !
Moobs WIN!
Sweater puppets!
but wait, technically it doesnt say he has boobs, just wearing her lingerie,
so a Tit Pants Win!
Hmm, I made a comment and it still hasn’t shown up. So forgive me if this is a duplicate post.
But it’s fake. According to Snopes’ Urban Legend Page, it’s a spoof of the actual Dear Miriam column which appeared in the satirical publication “Viz.”
Calling all killjoys!
But I still dont see how it’s a fail!
Yeah, I remember seeing this in Viz a while back. The letter and reply are both written by the magazine as a funny spoof of advice columns. So it’s a fail fail??
Actually, according to the Urban Legend Page i frequent, it said that the Snopes’ Urban Legend Page was itself, an urban legend.
Reference to xkcd WIN
in soviet russia uban legends page frequents you!
Thank f**k for that, someone actually thinking around here!
someone doing what?
Thank what for that?
avoiding the question win!
This is a spoof article taken from the British magazine ‘Viz’. It’s not a real advice column, but meant to be a parody of the inane questions and pointless advice that appear in such columns in the tabloids. The whole joke is that the ‘agony aunt’ thinks the problem is the broken-down car and not the transvestite husband.
So, not technically a fail.
ps. I love Viz.
LOL that is awesome :d
I still don’t see how this is fail…
hahaha …FAIL
Ahaha, the person couldn’t be bothered to read the whole thing, so they read the first sentence, thought the problem was the car, and answered that. Apathy win!
Thanks. Without you stating the obvious I would have never known what the fail was. Finally, after years of not laughing and the doctors telling me I would never again, I laughed!
It’s double fail. In Poland name ‘Miriam’ means shemale… So think about the reason why she (he?) didn’t answer the question
Are you sure you’re not just thinking about the TV show “There’s Something About Miriam”?
in soviet russia lingerie wears man…
in soviet russia car breaks down women
sigh
In Soviet Russia, people STILL get annoyed at “In Soviet Russia” puns.
In Soviet Russia, joke puns YOU!
These are only funny when the reversal makes sense in context. Otherwise you just end up with people hating you.
Advice WIN.
She’s clearly concerned about the situation with “Mrs. B”’s husband and has decided to skip the whole “getting through to him” thing and just help her with the “getting the hell out of there” thing.
=)) this is some funny stuff. Miriam must have had a rough day and only read the first few lines and then replied:))
two mouths fail
More like double-chin fail
actually this is PWND not FAIL
Maybe he was practicing for the Floor show of Rocky Horror
whatever happened to fay wray?
That delicate satin-draped frame
*builds a time mach…*
“No, wait…”
*Does the Time Warp*
Maybe he became the Legend-ary Lord of Darkness.
I wonder how many people are reading this while wearing their wife’s high heels and plastered in her make up. I’m not. I haven’t yet applied the Mascara.
I wonder how many people are not reading this while wearing your wife with her heels high and plastered in her make out?
Cynicism WIN
This is from the satirical magazine Viz, published in the UK.
Humour identification FAIL.
does that mean that it is not funny?
ok, got it: satirical magazine=/= humour
I think you mean satirical magazine=/= fail…
This is from Viz an adult joke comic. It’s not real.
Now I remember how my teachers would feel when I handed in a report based on just the first few chapters of a book. “Today, I will talk about a really great book, Harry Potter. This story is about a boy who has to tolerate living under the same roof as his aunt, uncle and cousin. At one point, they lock him under the stairs. In conclusion, Harry Potter is a demonstration of people facing and overcoming adversity.”
Now that you mention it…
Take the magical stuff out of the series, and it becomes a far better series with a psychological message and learning acceptance.
Dare I say, Book altering win?
Add the magic back into it and you have all that AND and examination of the use of power, authority, and class issues.
So book altering fail, methinks.
Selfish bitch. Why won’t she share her underwear and makeup with her husband?
Because everyone knows that for health reasons you should never share your makeup. Also, it probably wasn’t even a good match to his skin tone, he needs to go buy his own.
Jane, can we make up and see if we can match our tones?
She obviously didn’t know how to answer to the second question, so she answered the first one.
ENGINE FAIL?
if that’s the case, why did she even pick that letter to start with?
Popularity fail?
Maybe it was one of few letters she actually received…
Thats why i walk to work… and with walking i mean i dont go to work.. ever.
Fake! It’s from Viz, an amusing adult comic in the UK. Reality fail AND research fail.
British humor win
Where the hell is Fuzz?
And talons ?
and Dragonwritter and Sara J
they’re all gone..
:[
Achieving this kind of fame on a site like failblog looks like an epic fail to me. ^^
well, you’re just jelaous dude.
besides, they’re pretty funny.. and usually fuzz has good remarks and witty comments (witty as in SMART-ASS)..
JELAOUSY FAIL
Popularity WIN
Aren’t you forgetting someone? Ya know, big Star Wars fan, co-host of Grammarians’ Corner, likes to high-five orangutans…
It can’t be RogueThree, can it?
I’d never forget my co-host, Rogue…never fear.
And geez…I just had stuff to do this morning. Like sleep.
*frantically gropes for a fun and witty comment*
*misses and gropes fuzz instead*
Hey, you’re going way too fast! That wasn’t fuzz you just groped!
Somehow I expected the smiley to show that I was kidding.
Where the hell is VieuMove?
Scroll up a ways, you’ll see him eventually.
Let me help you join our millennium, there, Marduk:
” ~ VieuMove
I was just giving the Frenchman his apropos props.
^^”
Maybe her car ran out of gas.
Dear Mrs B.
I’m not touching your personal issues with a 30ft pole… Meanwhile, here is what you can do to fix your car so that you never see that again…
What’s wrong with a guy wearing his wife’s clothes? Guys should be able to freely wear the same clothes that women wear if they so desire.
yeah, like.. after you have sex.. a girl can wear your shirt.. and look cute..
the problem here is.. a guy shouldn’t wear HER lingerie.. it’s just.. not comfortable..
Nothing as long as you wear something that fits. I’ve been known to wear some women’s sweaters and such but frankly I’ve got some added material that makes even thinking about wearing women’s underwear uncomfortable.
Guess you don’t have that problem huh?
Now I see that you’re a female… Now I REALLY hope you don’t have that problem, lol!
Fail on my part for not bothering to read your name and simply commenting.
I had a bf once who wore my sweatshirts. Look HIGH-larious on him, since I’m somewhat…erm…curvy, shall we say, and had permanently stretched out the front of the shirts.
I dunno about you, but when all is said and done, I’d like to be known for something other than wearing women’s sweaters. Is that what they’re engraving on your tombstone, btw?
I sure hope so and my friends will say “Well, at least he died warm” at the funeral.
I actually prefer it when neither I or the woman is wearing women’s clothing.
That was one awesome reply from Miriam.
Maybe she’s trying to help fix the car so she can drive as far away from the guy as humanly possible…
Or maybe the husband didn’t want to fix the car for her, lest he break a nail
Alright that was AMAZING!!! I mean seriously this is my favorite fail so far! That is horrible, she should just get him his own make up and clothes.
yeah, and she should buy a strap on.. and everyone in the house should change roles… duh
Best entry to failblog yet!
OLD! (and purposefully satirical).
What paper is this from?
If you can scroll down to here to check is someone has answered your question, you might as well consider READING the comments.
Maybe if the husband stopped dressing like a woman, he could fix the damn car himself.
*ahem*
I dress like a woman…seeing as how I am one.
And I can fix a car myself.
Stereotype assumptions FAIL!
This is a mock agony column from the adult comic Viz. Read the rest of this, and they are all about the technical aspect of the poor beggars sexual problem. Check it out.
Does anybody know if this is from a mock agony column from the adult comic Viz? Or perhaps from an amusing comic in the UK called VIz? Or maybe from Viz, an adult joke comic? Or, I was wondering, if it was possibly from the satirical magazine, Viz? Or, how about, that spoof article from the British magazine ‘Viz’? Or, was it a Dear Miriam column which appeared in the satirical publication “Viz”? But, then again, I’ve heard it could be from the UK “Viz” magazine, from a spoof column? But potentially it could also be Viz Magazine, the UK humor mag.
Anyone know?
I think you’re right. I believe you are correct. I have a feeling you are not mistaken. I know that you are spot-on. You strike me as not erring in your judgement.
I agree. I think the same as you. I am in accord with your thinking here. I concur with your conclusions. We subscribe to the same idea here.
Burn of the week WIN. Nominee for Burn of the week. Burn of the week candidate. Instant Burn of the week.
Superhero UAC fuzz?
THis is absolutely from VIZ! This is the premise of the joke! A piss-take of advise columns and missing the point of the question! GOD Americans are so thick!
No, this definately is from viz… they always use either Mrs B, Essex or Mr B, Essex in their stories, write-ins and other stuff like that. So this makes this Fail a huge FAIL!!!! PwnPwn Kthnx
Things were a little shaky for a while, but this is a good one. The failboat is back on track, which of course means it’s heading right for that sandbar
I love things like this. It seems to be a common problem in advice columns to focus on what’s not the problem.
Agree
poor Mariam
>:D<
Haha she probably just read the first few lines and thought “well this must be a car problem”, then googled the car problem and copy-pasted the solution
Somebody’s only reading the first two lines of a person’s letter due to lazyness. I’m talking to you, Miriam.
Someone is unable to understand satire. I’m talking to you.
And yet you didn’t read the comments out of laziness. Irony win.
Another appropriate title could be “Turing test fail”.
Read and understand text FAIL!
Miriam wasn’t exactly known for her stellar SAT scores.
I lol’d
You should have checked Snopes… this is FAKE not FAIL.
Urban Myth strikes again.
FAIL
Ha, I think I was actually more interested in the car then her husband.
Make me swallow your spunk
hooray.. youre back, but it is the real you?
http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/miriam.asp
Please post fail, not random humour.
Not wasting 90 minutes with a Dostoyevsky novel length setup to a weak punchline FAIL.
ADVICE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, this is not a fail. The advice columnist was trying to be clever in making her point. Unfortunately, most people didn’t get it. She was trying to say that the car breaking down was a bigger problem that her husband. So what if he likes wearing womens’ clothing? Has he ever cheated? Has he treated her badly or hurt her in some way? No. If the woman would get over herself and embrace her husband’s weirdness then they might have a very happy and sexually fulfilling marriage. Who knows, maybe she has some unexplored fantasies herself? What a perfect opportunity to let their freak flags fly and celebrate each other in new and different ways.
Totally wrong, it’s a comic called Viz, and it’s deliberately making fun of problem pages. They did one before – ‘Dr. Miriam Answers Your Problems’, and it was stuff like ‘ I meant to meet my friend who lives ten miles away, and I was driving there at fifty miles an hour, if I left the house at 3.00pm what time will I get there?’ kind of thing.
Fail Spot FAIL!
Actually, this is a fail. I would check the pump at first…
who uses the word “juddered”?
LOL
Man, if I found my husband wearing my underwear, makeup, and heels, I’d tell him to buy his own damn lingerie and not to stretch mine out and I’d show him how to apply eyeliner PROPERLY.
From Viz comic uk. It is taking the piss (you have to be british to understand it) Taking the piss and nothing more
La cago, como chucha no leen la carta completa, les dio pereza!
Otro hispanoparlante, me alegro muchisimo !
He was made redundant after using his job? What?
you all fail at failing
too much reading fail
Wow. FAIL.
Wow that is funny! Yet I have to agree that advice columns often focus in on something that really is not the problem.
BonerBandMan
BonerBand.com
an electronic problem with fuel injection maybe
Poor guy. This fail makes me sad.
Its more like DENIAL FAIL.
Its actually a joke letter from a British adult comic called VIZ. Its full of stuff like this, really funny.
ohhh that is sooo shameful
the car breaking down of course!
This is the first fail I laughed non-stop at. XD Moron. Best fail ever.
