  1. Jurgen says:

    Ohh ohhh It hurt… yep…the son of a bitch got me good.

  2. rrr says:

    Merchandise quality fail!

  3. Juasman says:

    “We er… may need emergency surgery in the studio”

    INSTA-CLASSIC

  4. okami36 says:

    Old FAIL is old…

  5. Niho says:

    What a pansy…

  6. Alex says:

    I’m sure the second guy’s next comment was about how sharp the blade was, as was demonstrated. Man it’s hilarious how uncaring the crew can be on these shows (remember the ladder fail, anyone?)

  7. DaManRando says:

    So… Not very high quality merchandise eh?

  8. Killerwit says:

    To be in the Yakuza, you MUST self-mutilate.

  9. dolt says:

    i had to watch it a second time to work out what happened. i thought he’d somhow flicked the sword back and made an idiot of himself. now i know it was the sword that failed not the salesman (unless you count the fact that he won’t make many sales)

  10. Art Vandalay says:

    Wow, you’d think with the number of issues that go on during shopping and gadget shows (falling off ladders, one of a kind items breaking, swords breaking, etc.) that they’d be on a 10-minute delay just in case…

    Although then, we wouldn’t be treated to so much failure…so keep it up, QVC!

  11. dolt says:

    another thing … who would be recording a shopping channel?

  12. Killerwit says:

    I have a pen that is tougher than that sword.

  13. dolt says:

    and another … who watches shopping channels?

  14. ice_army says:

    Guess that’s what you get, when you bang a sword….

  15. DrDr says:

    In Soviet Russia, you cut sword!

  16. Techno Remix says:

    Eleven-oh-one eight teen sixteen.. eleven-oh-one.. eleven, eleven, elevenlevenlevenleven … OH, that hurt big time. OH, that hurt big time. OH, OH OH, OH-OH — big time.

  17. Pumpkiny says:

    Emergency surgery in the studio?
    At least we know the katanas work. :)
    Advertising semi-WIN!
    But yea, why would he be banging it against the table like that, anyways?
    Advertiser FAIL.

  18. weestwel says:

    What a fowler!

  19. Onikun says:

    If this happened more often, I think more people would watch the shopping channel. :/

  20. GainesWorthy says:

    Double Fail.

    1 the sword broke and nicked him.

    2 Rescue fail. Like no one ran over there to see if it was okay and how bad. Some guy did but then he went on to talk about it!

  21. Woot says:

    WE ARE UNDER ATTACK !

    • Paranoimia says:

      +++ The Department of Homeland Security has detained several persons for wearing white digital watches and is questioning them about a possible terrorist background to this attack. Meanwhile, the US Ambassador to the UN is proposing a resolution to ban these Japanese WMDs (which the Japanese denied to be in possession of!), or else. The samurai threat level for today is orange. +++

  22. MazalTov says:

    Is it just me, or did the guy was hitting the table with the blunt side of the sword?

  23. SomeDude says:

    I was kind of hoping that the broken piece should have stabbed him in the throat. That was have been awesome.

    Fucking N00b.

  24. Pablovirus says:

    So what was the nice thing he was going to say about that katana? That it was indestructible?

  25. Gollum says:

    Lets hope home shopping host hari kari catches on.

  26. MEH. says:

    haha, I like how the camera kept slowly scanning across the product as if nothing happened. I’d like to see how many people continued to buy that product after seeing it clearly fault right there on the segment.

  27. Killerwit says:

    Table by Ginsu.

  28. Lisa says:

    I’ll take Swords for $200, Alex!

  29. Igor says:

    I was looking for that video for a while. i saw it like a year ago..

  30. Ahrnold says:

    He should team up with afroninja and kick ass!!!!!!!1111111111

  31. jordanwb says:

    Also flash fails at being a good way to present information. Whoever designed flash should be shot.

  32. stupid collector says:

    Hey, cool! I want that sword! Is it still for sale?

  33. Joe says:

    damn! that has really got to suck big time…those samurai swords probably were not assembled correctly…ouch… i feel sorry for the dude..

  34. acerious says:

    its not a sword. its a practice kitana.

    • ButhedaBunzai says:

      PRACTISE KITANA?

      That’s waaaay too sexy for me to imagine right now.

      Unless you meant Katana. In that case… *Schhhhliiiing*

    • munch says:

      Umm…no. Live steel, however, brittle, is not a “practice kitana.”

      Google “bokken”.

      Reality check FAIL.

  35. matty says:

    i dont. he needs emergency surgery on his brain. and the other guy is drunk.

  36. Miss Antipodes says:

    Where’s Johnny Cochran when you need him? *sigh* Maybe Gloria Allred is available?

  37. Gene Quagmire says:

    Herro, 1999!

  38. Compulsorry says:

    Dar Win!

  39. Alex says:

    swift like the ninja fail!

  40. Hein says:

    Wrong carbon % or something. The stell was too brittle. There was this great show on PBS on Japanese swords. Explained all about the need for TWO kinds of steel in a good sword, one very hard, the other flexible and how to layer them.

  41. imnotsupposedtotalktostrangers says:

    lol, he deserves it… would have laughed harder if it killed him…

  42. proteus says:

    in communist russia, sword owns you!

  43. The Captain says:

    although that was a samurai fail, i’d have to say it was a taking it like a man WIN!

  44. Kanin says:

    What’s funny about this is…

    I actually own those. .__.

  45. Atomsk says:

    Funny thing is, I’ve seen that exact sword for sale on the net for 19.95.

  46. Boob says:

    Emergency surgery fail.

  47. MikeW of VA says:

    WOOO 400th! (The possible sequel to 300?)

  48. LouZha says:

    LOL i love how they just kept on tryin to sell em!!
    (Birds wont nest below this level)

  49. Lord Baktor says:

    First thing about the quality of those practice Katanas is that they’re friggin straight. Katanas are curved, with a curved sword you slice an cut instead of hacking, reducing the risk of it breaking the way it broke for him.

  50. blue says:

    I’d buy that for dollar!!!!

  51. Jesse says:

    I wish people talked about the vids/pics in the comments instead of just saying “FIRST!” and talking about masturbation.

  52. oh_My_Dog says:

    It’s really sad when shopping channels have to rip off old Saturday Night Live skits to sell swords. Its been done in Samurai Delicatessen when John Belushi nicked Buck Henry with his sword, although there it was an accident.

    This segment of Home SHopping Network has been brought to you by Sam Pickenpaw.

  53. Machiavelli says:

    It’s not the lack of curve that made the sword break, but the quality (or the lack of to be more exact) of the steel used. I’d guess they’re made from cheap stainless steel, and the thing that really amazes me is that the sword didn’t break closer to the tsuba (or at the junction between tsuba and tsuka) – as these cheap display models usually have a rat tail tang. The tsukamaki on these display items is also one of the worst I’ve seen so far.

    This proves one important point. If you own a set of “display” swords, do NOT use them for anything else than display purposes. They may look cool, but are dangerous if wielded and probably will f*cking cut you wide open.

  54. Ashley says:

    His first mistake was whacking that sword on the table like his was. His second mistake was him being a dimwit. lol

  55. allan says:

    They all waited so long that I thought the guy walking on was about to continue the sales pitch where the other guy left off (maybe waiting for him to stop groaning).

  56. mctits says:

    The people that work on these channels deserve nothing less

  57. Kat says:

    Karma!!!! Yes! I have seen that guy mistreat those swords before. Yay! one finally got him!

  58. emilykw says:

    “It’s got a dragon painted ON THE BLADE, people. On the blade!”

  59. -Moo says:

    woot made in america /

  60. ThatBum says:

    See, that’s NOT how to demonstrate a sword’s quality. They’re made of hardened steel, which is brittle, If you whack the broad side against a blunt object like that, what else would you expect?

    Nonetheless very funny. “We may need…to preform…emergency surgery…in the studio.” LMAO!

  61. Mamui says:

    Ouch. But what he did was stupid.

  62. Javascap says:

    Well, of course it broke you twat… who the hell sells a legit Katana (even a practice one!!!) for $45?!

  63. Jake Steel says:

    1. Trying to pass a decoration of as the real thing….FAIL

    2. Using a sword like an axe ……FAIL

    3. Using the words “customer appreciation” only to show the you are selling them shit… FAIL

    4. Getting wounded in the process….. EPIC FAIL.

  64. Drizzt says:

    Those katanas are stainless steel. Stainless is NOT fighting grade material, it’s crap tbqh. Stainless is for ornamental replicas ONLY. If you plan to use a katana for fighting, training, whatever, it must be carbon steel. This is basic knowledge. He should have learned something about his product before trying to sell it.
