  1. spazmataz says:

    That’s what my knob looks like!

  2. Nothing to see here people. Keep moving it along.

  3. dilettante says:

    If you flip that switch, it turns out the lights on the entire planet.

  4. Powerbeef says:

    It doesnt turn the lights or jets on. It turns the DARK on.

  5. Lunchbox307 says:

    To activate jets, turn knob. To activate FAIL, flip switch to upward position.

  6. Feathers says:

    That looks fake to me…

  7. Deadclown says:

    FIRST!

    In Soviet Russia Knob switch flips you counter clockwise

  8. Dragonwriter says:

    *sneaks in and attaches a plastic “juses and the children” light switch plate to the knob*

  9. thepowerofblue says:

    Knob sold seperately.

  10. thepowerofblue says:

    There was some confusion with the installation…yes, there was supposed to be a knob to activate the jets, but the switch was originally intended to activate Benny.

  11. Allera says:

    Is anyone else reminded of a Herm? Or am I showing my nerd side again?

    • fuzz on the concept says:

      That’s downright (… or maybe upright) educational. “To activate protection, please turn to turned on totem.”

  12. sophie says:

    *clap* this fail is really not very funny

  13. ADPowers says:

    To be anal, Thats not a fail. 180 degree knob…

  14. yofo says:

    This is a weak “fail”, It was the knob that failed and an electrician replaced the broken knob with a switch. Switches are more reliable, electrician WIN! Some of these aren’t really fails, Study Spanish in Spain- with a pic of Egypt, that’s a fail!

  15. abi says:

    Hmm. This photo has been tweaked. ;) Still funny. And stupid. Haha.

  16. Jennifer says:

    Its to shock the kids out of the pool.

  17. attorneys says:

    this is not a fail, looks like a knob to me!

  18. Sticky_situation says:

    Normally, the knob that is turned activates a timer that will shut off the jets after a certain amount of time (depending on how far you turn the knob). Maybe the switch is just a temporary replacement-you can get them at any home improvement shop, sometimes even at places like wal-mart- but the timer knob is probably harder to find, so they probably tossed that in there until the new timer comes
