  1. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    FAKE!

  2. JD says:

    That looks like my great-grandmother.

  3. Oh noes, so close yet so far from winning the “first award”.

  4. NoseMoking says:

    Jerk. Old Lady WIN!

  8. Plastic in Pickering says:

    authenticity fail.

  9. WapDooWap says:

    probably fake but very funny (i’m from France, forgive my english:D )

  10. dmb says:

    i’m pretty sure I saw this on stupid videos a looong time ago. Freshen up.

    • DrDr says:

      You’ve seen it! Well done!

      Many of us have not seen it, so it is fresh to us.

      Anyway “I’m pretty sure I saw this”?! How can you tell FAIL Blog to freshen up when you need to freshen your memory!

    • goodnplenty says:

      Okay, next douche rocket to say “This is old…I’ve seen it…fail blog needs new fails…” is invited to STFU and go sit in the corner with the this-is-a-fake-tards. Secondly, go out and find something new then, and post it. That would be a much finer contribution than driveling about how fake or old something is.

      That public venue your mom calls a snatch is old and fake, but I don’t hear your dad complaining about it.

      • Malfeasant says:

        i’ve had this video on my myspace page for almost a year now…
        and you don’t hear my dad complaining b/c he divorced my mom 25 years ago

        • radaner says:

          jeeeah I did this video myself 1380198 years ago. It’s really old fail. OF course it’s fake too.

          • dolt says:

            that’s quite impressive where did you get:
            A) a road
            B)a car
            C)a skateboard
            D)clothes
            E)an airbag
            F) a pedestrian crossing
            G)shopping bags

            really i want to know where to buy things which have yet to be invented, i could really do with a teleport

      • Lucy says:

        I nominate the snatch comment for burn of the week! gg sir!

  11. Reddo says:

    Epic , as it once was

  12. Big Mike says:

    I love this one

  13. KookyKiwi says:

    Old video! Saw it ages ago.

  14. Killerwit says:

    I would’ve hit it. Yeah, I would’ve banged that granny hard.

  15. mechanic says:

    it is in fact FAKE. air bags do not stay inflated after they are deployed. it is, however, a clever and funny video. staged or not.

  16. VOLcano says:

    ancient, AND fake. failblog FAIL

  17. kirsten says:

    Sooooo the PERFECT example of instant karma!!

  18. 4ndyman says:

    This is an old video. I think it was actually an ad for something, or a PSA about stress or somesuch nonsense. They spent some money to make it look homemade.

  19. RogueThree says:

    Finally, a nice young person who respects their elders. Now could you please bring me some prune juice?

  20. MEH. says:

    Hardly worth posting – much less being featured on Failblog.

  21. SmogMonster says:

    Am I the only one who saw ‘Honking Fail’ and assumed it was about Amy Winehouse?

  22. Laura says:

    I love it!

  23. jemaleddin says:

    German engineering FAIL. They never have been good with electricity.

  24. ozymandias says:

    Could the editors please edit? The 15 seconds with the skateboarders was unneeded.

  25. nytshad says:

    Aaawww. I wanted to see what happens next :[

    Quick! People who’ve seen this ages ago: what’s the granny gonna do to mean angry corporate guy next?

    • K says:

      Savage animal sex?

    • dolt says:

      well she first takes a number of objects out of her bag.

      firstly, a gas canister. secondly, a ligher. thirdly, a hand grenade. and finnally, a sub-machine gun.

      then she uses the lighter and the methane from the gas canister to cause an explosion and set the car on fire . then she soots the man and then she uses the hand-grenade to blow the whole lot up

  26. Francine Dubois says:

    It is an IKEA commercial, with the end removed.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deF2NI5s634

    FAIL indeed.

  27. laubo says:

    Old Lady WIN!

  28. Mike says:

    This looks more like an owned video than a fail one. Sure the dude fails, but only after he’s owned by the old lady.

  29. DNA8088 says:

    This was an advert for a british TV station called Bravo.

  30. Sarah says:

    That guy deserved it! Honking at that little old lady. I wonder what happened afterward. I hope it ruined his day. Really, is he so important that he couldn’t WAIT 40 seconds. HAHAHAHA! BURN!

  31. cybely says:

    Well that’s what you get for honking at old ladies.

  32. Baris Unver says:

    Gotta be a viral ad of Mercedes, seems fake. And BTW: First! (hehe)

  33. I_am_#1 says:

    That’s what he freaking deserves for acting like such a donkey’s butt.
    Note to driver: PATIENCE IS A VIRTURE!

  34. Starlogic says:

    airbag win!

  35. Sandra Soroka says:

    I think its funny! I don’t care if its real or not.

  36. brodie says:

    Wasn’t this on “world’s funniest commercials” like …. two or three years ago?

    Shit, I’m surprised that cartoons aren’t being posted as evidence of real life fails…

  37. matty says:

    whoever posted this has just found the internet because it is as old as the arc.

  38. Gezus says:

    photoshopped!

  39. John says:

    My grandmother did that! (But that’s not my grandmother)

    Dad answered the phone one day:

    Cop: Is this Mr. Jones (names changed to protect those who don’t care)
    Dad: Yes it is.
    Cop: This is Officer Such-n-Such with the Marysville Police Department. We need you to come down to the station to pick up your mother – she’s been whacking cars with her cane again.

    (If a car gets too close to her while she’s crossing the street – WHACK! I also approve)

  40. Celestial says:

    It might be fake but…

    OLD LADY WIN! =D The expression on the guy’s face was priceless.

  51. dataCore says:

  52. anon says:

    Technology understanding FAIL. Airbags don’t deploy if the vehicle is doing less than 10mph.

  53. Goodchilla says:

  54. Roo says:

    it could be real with added sound effects…

    whether it’s fake or not, he deserved it.

  60. Emily says:

    jerkface deserves it

  61. Sheik Yerbouti says:

    So this is where all the self righteous internet megalomaniacs come to desperately try and discredit and get one over each other.

    I guess if it’s going to be anywhere it should be Fail Blog. Respect for your fellow man fail.

  62. Gnifewrench says:

    Video gone

  63. Aaron says:

    KARMA! That’s what you get for honking at an old lady! LOL!

  64. Demon says:

    (as shown earlier it is a commercial that was made, so not gonna argue about being fake or not)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_bags#Triggering_conditions

    it is in theory possible that the situation could be real (ie someone striking the front of a car hard enough to cause the airbags to deploy). usually an Airbag has multiple sensors which (as described in the wiki page) it uses to determine if there has been a crash or not and if it should deploy the airbag, I will reference this idea again in a moment

    the situation in the Video (from the audio) is that a car came to a sudden skidding stop and then experienced a sudden impact to the front bumper. now without knowing the mass of the bag, the density/hardness of the contents, the acceleration, end velocity and the time that the impact acted over and also what type of sensors were in the front of the bumper we can’t prove anything but if say the lady was carrying canned items (so reasonably heavy and solid items) and got a good swing at the bumper And hit say an impact or accelerometer, she could produce a measure over the Threshold. Especially in a situation like this Because as far as the airbag ECU is concerned, there was a sudden skidding stop then a sudden front impact over a set threshold (assuming that she hit the sensor dead on with a heavy and solid load in her bag with a good swing) these characteristics (sudden stop followed by a front impact) are exactly the type of input the ECU would receive in a real Crash in which case it would deploy the airbag.

    so in response to all thats been said: In theory it could happen in real life, if a car comes to a sudden skidding stop with the brakes on full and the wheels locked then experiences a sudden front impact from a pedestrian striking the bumper with rage and the pedestrian hits a sensor with all the afore mentioned criteria satisfied. it IS possible that this could happen.

    But highly unlikely as a lot of variables would have to be satisfied and the chances of that happening are very small

    • mci says:

      You are one galactic-scale sack of flatulence.

      For one thing, 12 seconds pass between the stop and the lady hitting it with her bag.

      For another, your own link points out that airbags no longer trigger at low speed. (Zero is pretty low).

    • mci says:

      I would also add that airbags deploy much more violently than this, and the deflate completely in a few milliseconds.

  65. tg24 says:

    L-i-v-e-s……

  66. TG24 says:

    ^WHAT YALL NEED

  67. bobert says:

  68. John says:

  69. andygup says:

    Who cares if it’s fake – it’s still f**king hilarious

  70. Dragon87110 says:

    Honking Fail, Old Lady WIN!!!!

  71. Carolina says:

    This is one of my favourite clips EVAH!! It doesn’t really matter whether it was made as a commercial or actually happened, although I heard from reputable sources when it was first sent to me many moons ago that it was real, it still has a great object lesson. I have it on my computer, and watch it whenever I need to cheer myself up.

  72. Leya says:

    Asshat.
    Go lady!

  73. Johnson says:

    Revenge of the Granny.

  74. Lebon14 says:

  75. nincanta says:

    lol old lady power XP

  76. Sarah says:

    POWNED! BY AN OLD LADY!

  77. theliz says:

    I didn’t read all 500 comments before mine… But for the record, this was a setup and a fake.
    Airbags work with an accelerometer that only measures G-force. That’s why they don’t deploy half the time if hit from the side or rear in a high speed collision. They are designed only to measure front-end collisions. (Side impact airbags are a different matter entirely)
    They also don’t deploy in parked cars…. Or cars that are revving their engine but sitting still.
    Just thought I’d bring some science into the debate.

  78. Darkcloud says:

    That lady is my freakin’ hero.

  79. Slartibartfast says:

    Old Lady obviously had her wheaties that morning. Sveeet. >XD

  80. mci says:

    It a completely obvious fake based on production values. The sound quality is too good. The framing and editing are too good. This did not happen by accident.

    Anybody who thinks for 2 seconds that this is real really ought to be institutionalized for their own protection.

  81. Mandalor 91 says:
