  1. DeathRay says:

    DAMMIT! second…

  2. Catsopolis says:

    Epic suck. Hope he wasn’t too attached to that truck.

  3. Chronos says:

    Damn Third so close

  4. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    EPIC!!!

  5. Blewdevl says:

    Fake, has to be a fake.

    • Gileh~ says:

      how can it be fake? have toy boats and cars and tiny cameras and just for fun, throw in the loch ness monster?

      intuity fail?

    • Exavior says:

      When things like this are faked by studios, they typically leave pretty clear signs.

      For example, studios send all their video to sound editors, who spice up clips with additional audio. Many of the sounds in this video were added after-the-fact.

      A good example would be the gurgling/bubble sound when the car fills with water.

      If only the truck let out a wilhelm scream as it fell off the boat.

      • Malk says:

        This.

        No way could a hand held camera mic pick up whatever bubbling sounds there might be from that far away.

  6. Poppyseed says:

    Perhaps that’s an intelligence FAIL, or prankster WIN

  7. happiest girl says:

    is that the seaguls laughing ? hahah!

  8. maulkin says:

    I’m wondering why the people filming didn’t just unhook the rope, it seems tethered very close to them…

  9. calt says:

    I love that the gulls supply the laughing after it falls.

  10. Reverb says:

    On the bright side its time to get a new car :P

  11. Poser in Portsmouth says:

    On most other fails, they are easily explained by “because s/he’s an idiot” or “tragic miscommunication” or “ouch – that must have hurt”. This one? WTF – I have no idea why someone would rope their truck to the dock. Do you think it might have been a setup just to get some bizarre video footage? Are people making FAIL VIDEOS ON PURPOSE now?

    • Bananaphone says:

      I don’t think “planned fail videos” are covered by insurance…..

    • Poser in Portsmouth says:

      OK I read elsewhere that this may be outtake footage from a Toyota commercial. Unconfirmed.

      • Rick says:

        That being a possibility, it’s worth noting that this truck bears a striking resemblance to a late 80’s Ford F-150 or Ranger.

        I’m not sure that Toyota would get any marketing value out of this…

      • 4ndyman says:

        I was gonna say — isn’t this from the Toyota commercial in which people are encourageed to find a reason, any reason, to get a new truck? I remember there was another one where a family of four, at the top of a rocky yet scenic vista, intentionally pushes a giant balanced rock over the edge — and straight down onto that truck.

        • Jim says:

          Which makes sense except wouldn’t they want to use a Toyota in this footage that didn’t look so ass-crappy?

          • Also, why would they shoot a commerical in video? That’s fail, no reputable car company would do that.

          • osoket says:

            its trying to convince ppl to get rid of their old truck in any way to get a toyota truck instead, and this was someone’s idea on how to do it…or as i understand it it was…

      • strongbad says:

        yeah, it is.

      • adrenalnjunky says:

        Yeah – was from the Toyotathon Phemomenon series from 2007. The commercial is on youtube if you search for “toyotahon rope pull” The commercial is shot from a different angle, so this was prolly just bystanders shooting their own video.

        And the truck in the commercial is a ford ranger or a mazda B-series.

  12. Avis says:

    What happened the person that was untieing the line? That looked painfull.

  13. HavUTheenMaWeena says:

    It’s a simple question of weight ratios!
    A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut!!

  14. Curzon says:

    One Question! WHY?

  15. Soulcrun says:

    I love the guy’s reactions! Shocked and not laughing about this terrible accident, as it should be!
    Respect.

  16. Mimkitty says:

    Does anyone else notice the person on the ferry who just walks away from the truck as it falls off?

  17. Gileh~ says:

    … Me for myself call it stupidity fail. Didn’t anyone see the guy standing next to the truck? or maybe it was him that did it!

  18. NickJ says:

    I’ve seen an ad on TV exactly like this for Toyota.

  19. mrdobalina says:

    I don’t get it.
    Where exactly is the ‘fail’ in this video?

  20. IHeardARuckus says:

    Planned. Unless you really think people just randomly film ferry departures and anyone could be that stupid.

  21. K says:

    Guys, this isn’t a fail. Because it was intentional. I mean because sex isn’t bad. I mean because we’re all basically gay inside, right?

  22. The Lolificator says:

    Woot

  23. B says:

    Commercial.

  24. The Gos says:

    Rolled off pretty easy. Was that truck in neutral?

  25. Tetons says:

    The sea gulls thought it was funny, listen to them laughing. I think it was set up. Why would a rope be tied to the hitch of the truck and the other end tied to something on the dock? Makes no sense.

  26. Revo says:

    I just farted.. sorry guys!!!

  27. Derek says:

    This is from a television commercial shoot for Toyota. Failblog fail.

  28. Vindicator says:

    Failboat delivers

  29. 2.0 says:

    Fakeness win

  30. nytshad says:

    Failblog fail.

    Best marketing win EVER!

  31. Fake says:

    1: No-one films like that.
    2: No one ties a car to a rope made to dock a ship.
    3: Seagulls don’t have emotions. They can’t laugh
    4: No one says: Oh my goooooood unless it’s something serious. This was clearly funny and they should have laughed.
    5: No camera mounted microphone can accurately listen in on the clear sound of a car being filled with water.

  32. Vadi says:

    You can hear the birds laughing their ass off.

  33. Bitch says:

    failboat is back!

  34. damnedgamer says:

    thats epic!

  35. hmm says:

    a tug job after a hand job?

  36. At least they can just fish it back out again.

  37. DMC says:

    Failmobile takes a dive.

  38. thanatos says:

    Doesn’t this place have moderators?
    How the hell does crap like this vid even get onto the voting page?

    Send this crap to America’s Phoniest Home Videos and save this site for legitimate fails.

  39. Bump says:

    Hahahaha!

  40. joe says:

    I think those birds were actually laughing…

  41. shoobeydoobey says:

  45. Pumpkiny says:

    Were the seagulls laughing? LAWL!!!!!

  46. Mashirafen says:

    Stupid Americans, the number for the emergency services in Britain is 999!

  47. billy bob says:

    that’s allstate’s stand; are you in good hands?

  48. Flaming Children says:

    Kscuzeme, but why exactly was the truck tied to the dock?
    I sense staged fail.

  49. Sagramor says:

    well, at least there’s a rope tied to the truck

  50. germanistic says:

    get it right guys its Über not Uber

  51. C&C Maniac says:

    I wonder if the ferry owner had to pay for that car.

  52. Afafafa says:

    GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

  53. Mech says:

    Even the seagulls are laughing at the amount of fail.

  54. cheez says:

    Wasn’t there a toyota commercial a while back that looked exactly like this?
    Somesortof FAIL

  55. stuntcock says:

    and that’s how you fish for chevys

  56. Teagen says:

    Is it just me or are the birds laughing?

  57. Jay says:

    Epic Lulz

  58. stev says:

    at least they can get the truck back, it’s still on the other end of the rope from the dock!

  59. Etni says:

    Hah, excellent.

  60. Cat says:

    I love how the seagulls seem to be laughing.

  61. just4internetfame says:

    ZOMG! Somebody didn’t like that guy. Damn tha man!

  62. MettanAtem says:

    Damn seagulls, laughing at the car!

  63. grautmal says:

    lol they tied the car instead of the boat. idiots

  64. Kelly says:

    It is staged, it is for a Toyota TV Commercial

  65. Iane says:

    As of right now, 509 comments – 30 or so comments about the actual content (not counting, just estimating) and over 450 idiots trying to get “Burn of the Week”.

  66. AnonIMouse says:

    hilarious the seagulls they are.

  67. Onderbaadjie says:

    Ok?

  68. amber says:

    the seagulls sound like they’re laughing :)

  69. Jason says:

    I say FAKE, homeboy on the boy didn’t even look to see what the noise was. Secondly, I love how the camera man just happened to be filming that truck on that boat.

  70. Aikon says:

    It’s like the seagulls are laughing!

  71. Dan says:

    I dunno what fails more, the truck or the commentry

  72. Flamemon says:

    even the seagulls were laughing at that…FAIL

  73. Balmung6 says:

    Funny how the camera guy just watched instead of trying to quickly untie the rope. Granted, maybe due to the speed of the ferry, or thickness/weight of the rope he couldn’t have undone it completely, but at least enough that the truck’s weight would pull the knot loose instead of yanking the truck off the ferry.

  74. mark says:

    Lol the birds were laughing.

  75. John says:

    INSURANCE FRAUD FAIL!

  76. fauxfail says:

    this is a faux fail. It was shot for a Toyota commercial I worked on almost a year ago…but still funny!

  77. Matt says:

    The seagulls add to the hilarity with their laughter…

    This is so unfortunate…yet you can’t help but laugh.

  78. Zonnashi says:

    If you expand the video, it looks like there is a guy at the back of the truck with the rope. It doesn’t appear he leaves, and to me ( my mom noticed the man) it almost seems he is putting it around his neck. Anyone else see this? It appears he is sitting behind truck where the rope is.

  79. nick says:

    insurance fraud!
    i really don’t think insurance will cover it

  80. JADC says:

    4 months and 550 posts later, no one else noticed that the video zoomed in on the rope around the back of the truck, then zoomed back?

  81. gcdm says:

    This was for a toyota ad.

  82. adel says:

    o ya and when i said fail i meant the videos not the furryness =p

  83. UberGoober says:

    Last comment?

  84. Ariecos says:

    Notice how it seems the birds laugh when the truck falls off ~_^. And who said animals don’t have brains???

  85. Nath says:

    I loved how the sea gulls were laughing at the end.

  86. Zenos says:

    the birds at the end sound like they are laughing at the guy, which made me laugh
