May I note how funny it is that the gulls seem to be laughing at the stupidity of people… much like I did when I read all of these irrelevant comments.
We all know how overwhelming that all-important quest to be the first poster can be. It’s right up there with first to climb Everest, First to the moon etc. Perhaps all you “first” people need to get a life.
Actually, the space-time continuum only breaks up at time spans shorter than 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000539121 seconds, otherwise known as the Planck time

Ben dover, gender bender, and I’ll get you a life …
oh wait … you’ve already ben there, you self-duplicating generatrix
My first thought was that it was fake, too. The actors’ voices sound convincing, but they’re explaining everything just too perfectly. I’m thinking it’s a stunt, but I have no idea for what.
I’m thinking it’s insurance scam. Why are they videotaping in the first place? It doesn’t sound convincing to me. They KNEW it was attached… didn’t say anything.
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.
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?
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.
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…
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.
You guys are just now figuring out that I cannot spell? That’s almost as bad as my spelling!!
Seriously, spelling has never been my strong suit. Luckily it’s been proven that spelling and I.Q. are NOT linked. I mean, look, even Talons can spell.
Now Math and IQ are linked, but in a complex, yet easy to ponder way. Math and music coincide, as do writing and art. They all have their own seperate intelligences, and it is rather hard to devise a test that fairly grades preformances in the areas of specialty.
At first, I thought this was going to show the rope parting (official nautical term for when it breaks under stress) and beat the hell out of the truck. If so, the camera operator was in a VERY dangerous spot. Got funnier for me when the truck started moving…
Interestingly enough, that same threat was what made me learn the difference between third-person plural present indicative and the imperative. Funny, that.
hahaha, some sort of retro teaching method? it was the subjunctive that always confused me.
“weally centuwion? i’m surpwised to hear a man like you wattled by a wabble of wowdy webels!”
UK people should talk. I know how you like to
taunt the French by intentionally mispronouncing the
French-based words. pronouncing buffet as buffy, fillet as
fill-it, claret as clair-it etc. So don’t get yer knickers in a
twist just because we drop a superfluous “u” here and there.
ah i see the problem, you were on one of the dyslexi-trains.
if i heard someone say ‘buffy’ i’d personally give them a slap.

Dear Black Circle of Mystery,
Your ratio of lyrics/poetry-to-comments is high, and leaves me forever in the dark. Which might explain the black circle of mystery.
Yours truly,
K the 11th, Esquire
I hereby make a motion that you explain yourself thusly after each instance of poetry/song, thereby eliminating all subtlety. You may leave us in suspense for several hours, first.
Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume
of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered,
`making a motion at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.’
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea–
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
The image in Fuzz’s avatar icon is an ensō (円相).
It comes from Zen and has a kind of indeterminate meaning.
It can mean the present moment.
It can mean eternity.
It can mean a kind of “zero” that is nothing special,
and it can mean a kind of nothingness that is everything that is.
It is often painted as a reflection of the artist’s state of mind at that point in his or her living.
It can mean enlightened experience.
It can mean “a circle.”
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.
Loz, I *heart* the UK. If I could, I’d transplant myself to England or Scotland–or Ireland!–because it’s the only place where I can go into a pub and within minutes be called a “wee lass”.
Six-foot-tall women are NOT called “wee lasses” in the states.
hahaha. I doubt you’d get that in England, but Scotland and Ireland definitely.
Although it’s only old men who say ‘wee lass’, and they’re usually drunk.
I’ll call you wee lass if you want?
With a green egg here, and a green ham there,
here a green, there a green,
everywhere a seasick ….
Oh McDonald’s had a sale,
lettuce-pickles-onions-on-a-bun.
Now I’ll say my ABC’s –
twinkle twinkle,
have you any wool.
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.
yes it’s fake, you can see the person beside the car walking away doesn’t react to the noice of the car and even when it drops in the water…. not even the person walking towards the end of the ship shows any sign of reaction….
agree with all your points earlier … fake but nicely done

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”.
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.
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.
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.
Wow!

Wow. People really need to stop trying so hard.

I’LL BE IN MY BUNK!!
All is quiet. The fog willows through the nest, but then:
I chuck firecrackers into a nearby bonfire, causing angry glares all around. Violence was brewing when:
George Bush came on T.V. and said, “Black people don’t care about George Bush.” People were staring at their T.V.s in disbelief when:
An evil chicken pulled down George Bush’s pants on live TV
but he was too busy mispronouncing “nuclear” to notice, but then a clap of thunder sounded and:
A bolt of lightning turned bush into a pile of ash. God apologized for taking so long, mentioning that he’d been on vacation the last decade or so.
*emerges from bunk, all sleepy and happy*
So! What’s been going on while I’ve been…um…sleeping?
“I swear, I’m going to pistol whip the next person to say Shenanigans!”

in soviet russia, russia reverses you!
In spell check, you believe in Soviet Russia.

South Africans do not believe in spell check.
In apartheid S Africa spell checking has no job?

the seagulls laughing made me laugh harder than the actual video… uncanny
Ditto!

I was going to say that! It was the best part of the video.
And I love that the guy says, “You gotta be kidding me.”
Yeah, lame video eh?
lmao thats what i thought too.
heh, yeah
They definately are. It’s a very distinctive win.
That’s what I thought
did you hear the seagulls? the shriek of the herring gull mocks the ferryman. and the guy who owned that truck.
Ok, this isn’t a fail. It’s some ass committing a joke that is also a dangerous criminal act.
Personally, if I were the police, I’d check the cameraman or his buddies.
it’s amazing how quickly this shit gets off-topic and retarded, isn’t it?
what does that have to do with the cause of genetic abnormalities in Mongolia?
May I note how funny it is that the gulls seem to be laughing at the stupidity of people… much like I did when I read all of these irrelevant comments.
the seagulls were laughing at the person’s misfortune
Seagulls have warped and evil souls.
Is it just me or do the seagulls seem to be laughing at these people’s epic fail?
ROFL the seaguls r rofling so hard
the seagulls were mocking them…
DAMMIT! second…
Sorry, and my comment wasn’t even a good one. I just got so overwhelmed at the idea of my first “first” that my mind went blank.
We all know how overwhelming that all-important quest to be the first poster can be. It’s right up there with first to climb Everest, First to the moon etc. Perhaps all you “first” people need to get a life.

Frank, it would seem.
In that case, he’s more skilled than I suspected.
I think it was the elephant, intent on revenge.
He climbed up his own butt and died? Paradox win or fail?
I’ve seen that happen. Not a pretty way to go, let me be the first to tell you.
Do tell, what is your experience in this matter?

what about mormon. is that still an insult or is it too 90s?
Hell, in Missouri it was still legal to shoot mormons in the 90s.
LOL! what a backwards state!
oh hang on, i thought you wrote ‘illegal’. that would’ve been funnier.
Erm…I wasn’t kidding.
Okay, so the “Extermination Order” of 1838 was technically rescinded in 1976 (I fudged the date a little for the joke), but it was definitely real.
…ah well, guess you can’t really blame them!
I dunno, I’m a bit of a traditionalist myself.

Looks like a practical joke WIN to me…
Fake, has to be a fake.
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?
My first thought was that it was fake, too. The actors’ voices sound convincing, but they’re explaining everything just too perfectly. I’m thinking it’s a stunt, but I have no idea for what.
I’m thinking it’s insurance scam. Why are they videotaping in the first place? It doesn’t sound convincing to me. They KNEW it was attached… didn’t say anything.
Made up word WIN.
and which word is that…
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.
This.
No way could a hand held camera mic pick up whatever bubbling sounds there might be from that far away.
NICE!
Perhaps that’s an intelligence FAIL, or prankster WIN
is that the seaguls laughing ? hahah!
its probably the most amusment they’ve had in a while
Yeah they started to get bored of crapping on Merc’s and bald men’s heads.
The only good merc-enary (“contractor”) is a dead mercenary.
Yes, the seagulls were definately laughing.
They hate people, and love to see us screw up, specially when expensive things are destroyed.
Seagull WIN
I’m eating seagulls for breakfast

Nestlé? I want Chocolate! Who’s got Chocolate? I heard Chocolate! I need a sugar high!
You fail. They are as old as the dinosaurs. I find as much entertainment in Soviet Russia jokes as in dead rodents.
Wow, I never thought anyone could find Soviet Russia jokes THAT entertaining.
In Soviet Russia, dead rodents think very highly of you. So there.
A fine Southern Tradition, that. Its always fun to poke dead things with a stick! Even medical students get a kick outta the dissections!
I’m wondering why the people filming didn’t just unhook the rope, it seems tethered very close to them…
Because he’s probably the one who put the rope there in the first place…
Hmmm… a fellow Mr. Oblivious Clone…. My twin perhaps?
Maybe the people filming were the ones who hooked the rope.
redundancy fail.
Like it was from the Department of Redundancy department….
This has previously been noted before.
Which is fitting.
Or nesting?
Thank you, Captain Obvious.
He gets around…
…obviously.

*snork!*
srsly. not my real name.
Perhaps it was secured to the dock ?
I love that the gulls supply the laughing after it falls.
On the bright side its time to get a new car
with a better MPG rating.
Yes i think more suvs should use this ferry
In Soviet Russia, ferry uses SUV.
<__>
XD
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?
I don’t think “planned fail videos” are covered by insurance…..
OK I read elsewhere that this may be outtake footage from a Toyota commercial. Unconfirmed.
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…
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.
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.
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…
yeah, it is.
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.
What happened the person that was untieing the line? That looked painfull.
He was looking up how to spell “untying”.
not to mention “painful”
not to mention “an apophasis”
Ladies and gentlemen… from the department of redundancy department…
You guys are just now figuring out that I cannot spell? That’s almost as bad as my spelling!!
Seriously, spelling has never been my strong suit. Luckily it’s been proven that spelling and I.Q. are NOT linked. I mean, look, even Talons can spell.
Thank god for those with low intellect quotients who have the capacity to spell words correctly in their first language.
BWAA!
Unfortunately, Avis, spelling and being learned ARE linked. Someone get this kid a book to read!
Not neccessarily.
See, if you would have read “The Necessary Guide to Spelling,” you might have done better on spelling “necessarily.”
I’m just teasin’ ya, Avis.
Now Math and IQ are linked, but in a complex, yet easy to ponder way. Math and music coincide, as do writing and art. They all have their own seperate intelligences, and it is rather hard to devise a test that fairly grades preformances in the areas of specialty.
Which is why the SAT is antiquated piece of shit that should be retooled.
Soooooo, not my point. Being able to spell does not mean you are smart. NOT being able to spell, does NOT mean you are stupid. LD’s are such a bitch.
Alright, Avis and Talons… if you two can’t get along, I’m gonna make you hold hands in the corner.
But that would be punishing Avis and rewarding Talons…!
Am I to understand that I shall get this reward? *masturbates*
Not a kerosene cats chance in hell.
I’m pretty sure that’s flammable.
No no…it’s inflammable.
All I know is sumthin’s burnin’.
And I’m pretty sure it’s part of Talon’s anatomy that’s in flames.
Perhaps it’s yer BURNIN’ LOINS!
Was that too obvious?
Why do I get the feeling this is going to go very, very wrong?
Just don’t cross the loins.
Aye, they have been traversed. I lay in wait for a . . .medic. . .or . . .spleling nazi. . .hepl

“It is a damn poor mind indeed which can’t think of at least two ways to spell any word.”

Awww…sweet talker!!

prized for her fur?
At first, I thought this was going to show the rope parting (official nautical term for when it breaks under stress) and beat the hell out of the truck. If so, the camera operator was in a VERY dangerous spot. Got funnier for me when the truck started moving…
It’s a simple question of weight ratios!
A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut!!
Just felt like quoting some Monty Python? Because I’m pretty sure this doesn’t have a damn thing to do with this FAIL.
Wait a minute — supposing two swallows carried it together?
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Two girl swallows are worth one frank admission in a shrubbery.
But watch out for girls who frankly admit that they swallow in a shrubbery. Er…
They’re just beating around the bush again.
Or for that matter, Franks admitted to swallow girls in a shrubbery…
I thought Frank crawled up his own butt and died. Quite the contortionist is he to be swallowing girls after such bodily shenanigans!
A certain shape-shifty girl gave us a new Frank and, frankly, a bettered Frank.
So the rumors are true. SAAAAARA!
2 girls, 1 shrubbery?
Shrubbery: the greatest word since spoon.
I thought so too … till Bush Jr. came along.
The shrubbery refuses to get involved in politics. It has run away with the spoon.
Like the Pie, there is no spoon.
Virtual = not real. Must stop staring at virtual pies….
A five ounce ferry could not carry a one pound truck!
Wait a minute — supposing two ferries carried it together?
with their limp wrists i doubt two fairies could carry much of anything
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen fairy?
What do you mean? Dominant or Submissive?
Depends on the speed and direction of their gyvation.
I’ll twist your gyves.
I’ll see your twist and raise you a poke.
You poke, you pay!
Don’t laugh :[
Seriously
In the interest of being awkward, I kept thinking of your name today, HavUTheenMaWeena.
Guess the comments couldn’t pay…
No, they’d have to have it on a line.
In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
The fastest hummers may reach 90 or more strokes per second.
( *i luv it — that’s an actual quotation from a webpage* )
Unless it was an African Swallow
the African swallow’s not migratory…
The coconut’s tropical!
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land.
in soviet russia the fairy swallows you!
So long as he stays away from my coconuts…
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Big ones, small ones, some as big as yer head!
but what if it was an African swallow?
What if the African swallowed?
And after the failings, the oral sex!
As usual, no one can resist a Monty Python’s “Holy Grail” reference without jumping all over the movie, linking together totally disparate scenes.
Oh. . . and “NIIE”
well, i am the knight who say niii, after all…
niiiiiiiiii!!!
Shut up you
niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
We are now the knights who say ickyickyptangubiongum….

(Shh!)
i don’t understand why more people don’t reference Life of Brian. it’s equally hilarious.
“Romanes eunt domus? People called romanes they go the house?”
“It says, ‘Romans, go home.”
“No, it doesn’t.”
“now write it out a hundred times! if it’s not done by sunrise, i’ll cut your balls off!”
Interestingly enough, that same threat was what made me learn the difference between third-person plural present indicative and the imperative. Funny, that.
hahaha, some sort of retro teaching method? it was the subjunctive that always confused me.
“weally centuwion? i’m surpwised to hear a man like you wattled by a wabble of wowdy webels!”
lol, Pontiuth.
If I were you, I wouldn’t be so bothered by the subjunctive. Har har? See what I did there? Subjunctive? Eh? Eh.
(Grammar wont nest below this level)
har har har! i can’t believe we’re making jokes about grammar tenses….
Seriously! It’s so horrible, yet so glorious.
And with a tip of my proverbial hat to you, I will call it quits.
Good, because I’m in a very subjunctive mood, and I’m very tense about it!
*massages*
Ooooooohhhhhh….
*melts*
(looks like Dragon has had her tenseness melted plupefectly)
she has had indeed! (har har)
she was having it melted imperfectly before i came along.
Oh heaven! Grammar Police are all at the precinct! Roll call:
*rolls in a dramatic cop way*
Sorry; I’m not at the precinct. I’m out pulling grammatical PIT maneuvers on the general populace. A girl’s gotta get her kicks somehow.
Ah, so you’re in the UK. Don’t be so quick to jump the gun; I’m one of the spelling-heathen Americans
oh jeez, you guys really bastardised that word huh. lol.
on a par with ’sulfur’!
I, for one, would say we bastardiZed it, haha
UK people should talk. I know how you like to
taunt the French by intentionally mispronouncing the
French-based words. pronouncing buffet as buffy, fillet as
fill-it, claret as clair-it etc. So don’t get yer knickers in a
twist just because we drop a superfluous “u” here and there.
i saw that coming, should’ve covered my back!
we don’t pronounce those like that. with the exception of fillet.
i thought that was you yanks haha.
*forces many Us down your throat*
Actually I find it quite amusing, especially when the French’s
persnickety attitude about their language is taken into account.
i think it’s all in your head, i’m sorry to put an end to your amusement lol.
I took a train ride up to Edinburgh once where it was
announced when meals were available in the “buffy” car.
And John Steed always drank “clair-it”.
I’d prefer to refer to “trash” as “rubbish” and “elevators” as “lifts”, but unfortunately I would be penalised by my fellow Yanks.
Wouldn’t want to be penalised in the loo, in particular!
ah i see the problem, you were on one of the dyslexi-trains.
if i heard someone say ‘buffy’ i’d personally give them a slap.
talons: say it loud and proud! do not fear persecution! do what feels right to you
I am liberated loz! Artefact! Loo! Knickers! Apple Bangers!
He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy!
now go away!
This man commands a cwack legion! He wanks as high as any in Wome!
“ok, but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, public order, irrigation, roads and fresh waster, what have the Romans ever done for us?”
“brought peace?”
Q: “what have the Romans ever done for us?”
A: Invented orgies?
I always thought it was ‘brought kitties’
What’s so funny about Biggus Dickus?

LOL. love that bit
Suicide squad anyone ?
I think the idea is rather Sicarii.
but what if it was a Frankish swallowing tail?
One Question! WHY?
Because it’s there.
Why not?
I love the guy’s reactions! Shocked and not laughing about this terrible accident, as it should be!
Respect.
Does anyone else notice the person on the ferry who just walks away from the truck as it falls off?
What was he supposed to do? Get in and go down with it?
Or get down with it? Mighty hard, booty dancing with a truck that is plunging to its watery grave.
I’ll show you might hard…
Aw, fudgesicles. Fudgesickles? FUDGESCICLES. Wait, no…
*hands K a popsickle*
…popscikle? POPSYCLE. Dammit…
I’m staying out of this one at least until the DNA tests come back.
… 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!
I’ve seen an ad on TV exactly like this for Toyota.
Yes this was probably just a handy cam shot of the commercial shoot. Bleh Failblog fail.
Oh yeah?!?! You and what army??
I don’t get it.
Where exactly is the ‘fail’ in this video?
Perception fail
Planned. Unless you really think people just randomly film ferry departures and anyone could be that stupid.
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?
Also, I totally commented before I saw mrdobalina’s comment, up there. So much for beating the killjoys to the punch.
i’m gay on the outside
i have a colorful candy shell on the outside. am i gay?
Does Captain Weiner melt in your mouth, or in your hand?
MM!
mhmm? Oh, not me.
MmmHMM, you!

Dear Black Circle of Mystery,
Your ratio of lyrics/poetry-to-comments is high, and leaves me forever in the dark. Which might explain the black circle of mystery.
Yours truly,
K the 11th, Esquire
I jus’ types what the voices tell me
(they inform me that this particular poesie is from Patti Smith’s album/ song “Wave”)
I hereby make a motion that you explain yourself thusly after each instance of poetry/song, thereby eliminating all subtlety. You may leave us in suspense for several hours, first.
Oh, you’re no fun whatsoever. We can make a drinking game out of it. Whoever has to google first has to drink!
Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume
of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping,
suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
rapping at my chamber door.
`’Tis some visitor,’ I muttered,
`making a motion at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.’
Hey, I already started that in one of the comments below!
Ok fuzz…you can at LEAST make it a little challenging for us!
C’mon…I wouldn’t mind getting a little buzz going. :p
i bet that’s why the voices told me to quoth it
… from Edgar Alan PoeK, Bird the 11th, Esq.
You PoeK, you pay! :[
For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea–
In her tomb by the side of the sea.
The image in Fuzz’s avatar icon is an ensō (円相).
It comes from Zen and has a kind of indeterminate meaning.
It can mean the present moment.
It can mean eternity.
It can mean a kind of “zero” that is nothing special,
and it can mean a kind of nothingness that is everything that is.
It is often painted as a reflection of the artist’s state of mind at that point in his or her living.
It can mean enlightened experience.
It can mean “a circle.”
Excited to get some gay on the inside, no doubt.
And the room goes silent
Oh?
shhh! K is there
In the can, no doubt.
Woot
Commercial.
This painfully repetitive message has been brought to you by the letter B.
(Hey, together we make “BK”!)
Rolled off pretty easy. Was that truck in neutral?
no.
not even in international waters.
It was chaotic good, actually.
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.
I just farted.. sorry guys!!!
*barfs*
Sorry, I’m sensitive to smells.
Sighhhhhh….
*goes to find Sara yet another pair of pants*
It’s an exercise in futility, Dragon.
Would you just have this wee one already?? GAWD!
You are SO inconsiderate of others. :p
Wee one?
::wees::
for once i feel at home on the intertubes. people using “wee”, the word of my homeland!
Loz, I *heart* the UK. If I could, I’d transplant myself to England or Scotland–or Ireland!–because it’s the only place where I can go into a pub and within minutes be called a “wee lass”.
Six-foot-tall women are NOT called “wee lasses” in the states.
Try visiting Bush Gardens, near Williamsburg, or Jamestown, Yorktown, or Williamsburg itself.
hahaha. I doubt you’d get that in England, but Scotland and Ireland definitely.
Although it’s only old men who say ‘wee lass’, and they’re usually drunk.
I’ll call you wee lass if you want?
did you fart out of your shinny metal ass?
Did you shimmy out of your shiny metal hat?
rip it good
(Into shape, shape it up, get straight, go forward, etc.)
*climbs out*
Whoa guys, how long was I in there?
*stuffs Frank back in*
poor Frank
This is from a television commercial shoot for Toyota. Failblog fail.
Failboat delivers
Fakeness win
Rope Win.
there is a rope burn on the bottom of the ocean
Is there a goat in the boat with the rope burn on the bottom of the sea?
With a green egg here, and a green ham there,
here a green, there a green,
everywhere a seasick ….
Oh McDonald’s had a sale,
lettuce-pickles-onions-on-a-bun.
Now I’ll say my ABC’s –
twinkle twinkle,
have you any wool.
They never actually say that the ham is green.
Have you ever looked at the pretty pictures?
There is water flowing underground.
Failblog fail.
Best marketing win EVER!
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.
moving on…
This comment is photoshopped. I can tell by the pixels, as I have seen quite a many shops in my time.
All that, plus its a Toyota commercial.
Idiot.
You’ve clearly never been a seagull.
No
yes it’s fake, you can see the person beside the car walking away doesn’t react to the noice of the car and even when it drops in the water…. not even the person walking towards the end of the ship shows any sign of reaction….
agree with all your points earlier … fake but nicely done
You can hear the birds laughing their ass off.
failboat is back!
thats epic!
a tug job after a hand job?
At least they can just fish it back out again.
Failmobile takes a dive.
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.

Hahahaha!
I think those birds were actually laughing…
Uberprank win!
insurance fraud fail
“comments wont nest below this level”
APOSTROPHE FAIL
omg, the seagulls started laughing =)))))
lmao
You’re a seagull?
Nobody ever said the ham was green
Were the seagulls laughing? LAWL!!!!!
Stupid Americans, the number for the emergency services in Britain is 999!
that’s allstate’s stand; are you in good hands?
Kscuzeme, but why exactly was the truck tied to the dock?
I sense staged fail.
well, at least there’s a rope tied to the truck
get it right guys its Über not Uber
I wonder if the ferry owner had to pay for that car.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
sorry to have to tell you, Afafafa, but you going to the trouble to push that capslock key was a waste of the universe’s time.
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG whiz, fuzz!
See Alfailfa? That’s how you do it.
*universal esteem for KKKKKK:)KKKKKKK*
Ahahaha Afafafa!
Even the seagulls are laughing at the amount of fail.
Bah! Beat me to it! lol
Wasn’t there a toyota commercial a while back that looked exactly like this?

All this repetition is seriously repeatedly driving me up the wall. Many times.
Again?
Quoth the K-bird, “Evermore.”
please fill out the post in triplicate …
and that’s how you fish for chevys
Is it just me or are the birds laughing?
Epic Lulz
at least they can get the truck back, it’s still on the other end of the rope from the dock!
Hah, excellent.
I love how the seagulls seem to be laughing.
ZOMG! Somebody didn’t like that guy. Damn tha man!
Damn seagulls, laughing at the car!
That’s the first time anyone’s said that! Observation win, amirite?
Just leave the Jews out of it.
lol they tied the car instead of the boat. idiots
It is staged, it is for a Toyota TV Commercial
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”.
and now you want to be the burned of the week…
hilarious the seagulls they are.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8TSkQNUiu8
now go buy a new truck…
that commercial suggests insurance fraud…
Ok?
the seagulls sound like they’re laughing
just my thought
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.
It’s like the seagulls are laughing!
I dunno what fails more, the truck or the commentry
even the seagulls were laughing at that…FAIL
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.
Lol the birds were laughing.
INSURANCE FRAUD FAIL!
this is a faux fail. It was shot for a Toyota commercial I worked on almost a year ago…but still funny!
The seagulls add to the hilarity with their laughter…
This is so unfortunate…yet you can’t help but laugh.
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.
insurance fraud!
i really don’t think insurance will cover it
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?
This was for a toyota ad.
o ya and when i said fail i meant the videos not the furryness =p
Last comment?
Notice how it seems the birds laugh when the truck falls off ~_^. And who said animals don’t have brains???
I loved how the sea gulls were laughing at the end.
the birds at the end sound like they are laughing at the guy, which made me laugh
i know, right??!!
this is so fake no one is freaking out
They didn’t realize there was a rope tied to a truck. Epic Fail
