yep
fail at not saying first…!
Fail at proper use of negatives.
Humiliate WIN
HURRAY FOR JAFFIE!
Jaffie, will you be one of my my friends?
this is more like a dedication win.
darwinian fail, but xtreme dedication to the radio!!!
Logic Win.
not being a douchebag win
i have one cool video of a friend that tried 3 times to kiss a girl and got back a slap and a punch in the nuts. how can i upload the vid in this web site?
for the ones who want to see it:
Looks like things are really heating up at that station!
lol
We’ll be right back after this brief word from our sponsor, “Fire Extinguisher’s Incorporated.”
The fire extinguishers have their own incorporated business?
No, only one of them does!
U no, he would’ve had to redo that if it if was a recording
way to kill a joke
but he stays cool
And gets the Burn of the week!
Anyway, what ever happend to those?
They went to the same place the second “e” in “happened” did.
Uranus?
Putting an “E” in your anus? You’re doing it wrong!
Oh so burned.
you mean the third ‘e’?
99.5 FM Enflambe!
WHAT?!
Stephen Hawking went to outer space?!
CALDERON!!!!
Dedication Win, Safe Disposal of Cigarette Fail!
It’s hard to believe he didn’t stop when the desk exploded.
That’s either a die-hard professional or a dumb rookie not wanting to make a mistake.
Either way, that’s some hard-core dedication. I call it a win (except for the aftermath of the fire, of course).
Agreed, that is a balls to the wall crazy dedication WIN! I love how he briefly tried to stamp it out with his foot and then was like whatever and just kept on talking.
What could he possibly have been reading on the air that would so important that he is going to risk becoming a barbecue meat puppet rather than just saying, “We’re going to cut to a commercial real quick folks”??
the best part about it is that they made him stop the broadcast at the very end of the clip.
he is in SO much trouble
Looks like a dedication WIN, appropriate panic FAIL to me.
I agree entirely. You took my comment, darn you!
This could be the first case of comment – taking on Failblog!
*Phones FailPolice*
You took the words right out of my… fingers?
Arse is the word that you are groping (for want of a better, but less funny word) for.
Groping for arse with fingers?
Sounds good to me…
This Saturday ok for every1?
Yah.
Fail police fail to arrive.
But the poice are on their way.
Hey! You got the ‘ell out of there.
im in (get it)
I do it alot
You mean Poice?
Yeah, Self-Preservation FAIL – Dedication WIN!
Totally agree. Dedication WIN!!!
Indeed this is a win. Though, I don’t think anyone would’ve blamed him for saying “Uh…. there’s kinda a fire here, g2g.” Or whatever the spanish equivalent is.
Its greek.
It’s all Greek to me.
Hay un fuego aqui, necesito que dejar. Hasta luego!
Uno momento. Muy caliente aqui.
falla española.
Me dan risa =D
Qu’est-ce que c’est?
Maybe if you didn’t use free online translators…
That was not Spanish
Eh? Oh well, it’s all Greek to me…
No shit…
old school comment win…. rheeeealy old school.
The Irony is that he actually is speaking Greek. I kid you not.
comment win
First day on the job.
Did I hear something about Stephen Hawking in there?
He said “I don’t believe what I’ve just seen… Stephen Hawking teleported in here and flicked a lit Zippo into the bin, then teleported out. I bet it was him who put superglue on my chair and beat me over the head with his wheelchair until I forgot fire was dangerous.”
You have to play it backwards and squint a bit but I think that’s pretty much what he said. Hope this helps.
Ah, I get it now.
Yes, it makes much more sense. Does it play a satanic message as well?
You must stand on your head over a pail of lemonade under a full moon on the thirteenth of January, during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain to hear the satanic message. Oh, and don’t forget to shove ears of corn into your nostrils.
Uh… I’m pretty sure the bulls don’t run on the 13th of January.
They will when they see you with corn in your nose.
This is true, corn is a bull’s worst enemy – not the colour red, contrary to popular belief.
Red hates Hawking (for his black-hole studies), Corn fears red, bulls fear corn. There’s a chain reaction when you add satanism to the equation. Simple logic.
Corn is capable of fear?
Why do you think pork-blood sausages and corn clashes i.e. tastes shit?
now this is an interesting thread of comments. so what happens if you put corn in your ears instead of your nose?
Is that yet another version of rock-paper-scissors? What’s the sign for Red?
I get the distinct impression of product placement here. I’m surprised the bulls don’t have *wings*.
Contrary to Popular Beef?
Corn killed my pa!
lol.
Or shove nostrils of corn into your ears?
A Greek speaker posting on the YouTube comments has offered this summary of the content:
.
Did he happen to mention that the forecast predicts scorching heat?
WOW! That really IS interesting [/sarcasm]
Bad attitude win.
Well, meh to you.
Bad attitude redux win.
Meh! I’ve seen worse attitudes.
Funny thing…my cat (affectionately known as The Limb of Satan) actually says, “MEH!” when he’s irritated about something. It cracks me up every time.
What a coincidence… my cat is also a limb of satan! I guess that’s what you get when you name a cat Loki, though. I brought it upon myself.
And this is so important that he can’t say, “Hold on a minute we have a small problem in the studio I’ll be right back”. And then put out the fire before the place burns down? What a dumb ass. I was waiting for him to start on fire and keep sitting there and reading.
Maybe he knows something about the LCH he REALLY needs to tell us…uh oh…
He really needs to tell us it’s actually the LHC!
Yup!
This is the text of what he spoke:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Proin at lectus nec nibh venenatis egestas. Ut dui orci, mollis ut, bibendum et, accumsan iaculis, risus. Duis in felis. Phasellus sagittis orci sed dolor. Quisque dapibus eros sed nunc. Suspendisse rhoncus lorem aliquet augue.

Fusce purus ligula, blandit vel, convallis a, dignissim blandit, est.
^ Dolorem ipsum ingeneratum est.
But is he qualified to represent the LBC?
Maybe it’s Maybelene.
Nah, she’s definitely born with it.
Well, there you go. He thought CERN was going to destroy the world, so what’s a little fire?
hot
Did.
Not.
Lose.
His.
Cool.
In.
School.
But.
Was.
A.
Tool.
Who.
Lost.
His.
Spool.
i see what you did there.
Really, I think this might be a dedication WIN.
Is he speaking Spanish? My speakers and I couldn’t tell.
Sí, señora. Y yo estoy de acuerdo, como puede verse en mi ‘post’ anterior.
I agree – dedication WIN.
Concerns for property of one’s employers, FAIL.
No, he’s speaking Greek.
I agree too.
DEDICATION WIN!
Agreed agreed agreed.
He wins with dedication.
However, there is indeed an appropriate understanding of what a dedication failure is failure.
No he was NOT speaking spanish. He spoke Greek, because I know 99.5fm and you can see it writes below “Akou oti zeis” = “Listen to what you live”. Also the guys at the end say “kala re file, den katalavaineis tipota? which means “what the hell man, don’t you understand anything?”
no he was speaking greek
HE was a pro who kept the show rolling despite the mess-up going behind him. HE did not fail at the mike.
If I ran a radio station I would hire him in a hot minute.
“Excuse me one moment, my office is on fire,” is a perfectly valid excuse for interrupting your regularly scheduled radio babble. Taking a moment to extinguish your garbage can instead of fanning the flames to spread them to the equipment table is worth the 30 seconds of dead air. Not throwing lit cigarettes into a trash can full of paper would also have been commendable.
I wonder, is it impossible to speak and put out a fire simultaneously?
No, it’s like sneezing with your eyes open.
and you spine straight.
No, YOU spine straight. I spine somewhat wonky.
And metallic!
Heeeee! True!
I tell you, I cringe every time I got through the security metal detectors at the airport.
*go
…Who has the halibut at the moment?
*hands Dragon a halibut*
I keep extras for just such occasions.
*THWACK!!!!!*
Are you THWACKING Off?
Wow, you’re certainly making a splash.
*SNORK!* @ raelalt!
Thwack on…thwack off!
I’d tap that spine
Jim’s joke definitely does not go to 11.
No but he did make 10 louder, in fairness.
Hmmm… fishy.
Let’s find out… nope. SHIT. I’ll be right back guys, need to put out this fire.
“Oh hey, look, a bucket of flames. Let me kick it over.”
Obviously, talking on air greatly reduces one’s mental ability, quite similar to that of driving and cellularizing at the same time.
Oh, you’re killing me. I have tears streaming. Best post.
Well, you gotta admit, if he assumed his staff should take care of such problems so that he should be able to simply go on with his work uninterrupted…he was right.
It was his sexy Greek attitude that set the booth on fire.
Either that or the mustache grease.
Is he Greek or Spanish?
sounds like Portuguese to me, actually…. but it is difficult to hear
actually…in what language is that sign on the wall behind him?
Well, it doesn’t look like Spanish on the wall behind him. Something with a Cyrillic alphabet, maybe?
I just did a google search, it was in Athens, Greece.
Not Athens, Georgia? Where the tanks are invading?
Understandable, seeing as he’s so obviously exuding such greek sexiness. [/sarcasm]
“You have a crush on him. You’re defending him, you love him, you want to have, like, ten thousand of his babies.”
“American Beauty”-reference WIN!!!
And apparently the guy with the fire extinguisher says “Are you retarded?” at the end.
The answer is a definitive YES.
And apparently dilettante has actually got it very close — I see this on the YouTube comments for the video:
.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d guess dilettante is a Greek radio show host in her spare time…
Nah, I’m really sick at home and I love research. Wading through the retarded YouTube comments was fun, though.
YouTube comments make me despair for humanity even more than certain failblog comments do. *psi*
(And apparently the gal wading through the YouTube comments says “Are you retarded?” at the end.)
Did you check out their usernames? I was dying.
You really are sick.
*dies*
*Serious voice*
We intertupt this comment for a special news report. Dilettante has just passed away. We will all miss you. And now – WHAT THE HELL?! WHERE DID THIS FIRE COME FROM?
*sees dilly is only mostly dead*
*offers feel-better kiss on the forehead*
*realizes dilly feels poorly ‘all over’*
*cancels rest of the day’s appointments*
I’m scared to ask how old you are, fuzz…
I’m not scared.
Oh, you like that kind of thing?
Whoah, Loz!
*Tugs at collar*
fuzzy, come tell me if I have a fever.
“If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation.” ~ Anaïs Nin, famed dilettante, artistic mind, and connaisseuse
of fine erotica
Some little birds just told me my fever’s breaking…now I am happy.
cybersex fail
I don’t think so. There weren’t any batons involved.
the answer would be yes
DEFINITIVE!
Wow that guy really has balls!!! What did he eat for breakfast???
http://mylifeiscrap.com
όρχεις with a side of yogurt.
Dedication win. Responsibility fail.
haha, ofc!
What about the Ontario Fitness Council?
I think he’s using Open Fiber Control.
Or he is staying at Orthopaedic and Fracture Clinic
I think he’s saying Open For Commerce, as in the radio station is doing business today.
No, he plays for the Ormond Football Club.
Which is part of the Oceania Footbal Confederation!
Which goes to the Oregon Fishing Club for their retreats.
Coincidentally, the Oregon Fishing Club is owned and operated by the Onondaga Fitness Council, and supported by the Okahatchee Floridians Corporation!
Where they catch Oregon Flathead Catfish?
Owls Fart Creatively?
No no no, this doesn’t add up at all!
dedication epic WIN
Clearly dedication win. Common sense fail, perhaps, but it seems to have worked out all right in the end.
I agree.
Except for the massive property destruction.
But on the other hand, the news that day had some great sound effects.
Crackle crackle crackle
Spshhhhhhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhhh shhhhhhhhh
Aie caramba!!!
(Yes, that was Spanish he was speaking)
Eat my shorts!
Don’t have a cow man!
Doh!
Amazing, considering it’s a greek radio station…
I agree that this was mistitled – clearly this is a Dedication WIN.
Is this a repeat? I’ve seen this before…
No, but it’s pfotoshopped!!!!!!
Is pfotoshop the Welsh version of photshop?
It’s the German version, and a great deal! It only costs a pfennig.
Ah! Das ist Deutsch! Das ist gut, ja?
Selbstverständlich. *onaniert*
Interesting how German ‘Pfotoshop’ is sold in an outdated currency. Soon you’ll be able to trade a bushel of wheat and a line of kippers for a new laptop!
I say we revert to the early medieval and use cattle as currency.
Perfect solution to the credit crunch!
I agree, and because you can’t have sex with coins and paper.
Well, Japan has some coins with holes, but it’s rather of Asian size
You say that again, and I’ll chop your genitalia off.
LOL, poor BFF.
yay, for the third time you say sth gay – yooou want toooo touch my peeenis!!!!!
I refuse to touch your genitalia – which is why I will cut them off if you insult my country again.
you’ve got some issues…
We have plastic notes, can you have sex with them?
*looks for a fiver*
If I wanted plastic, I’d go for Pamela Anderson or Jenna Jameson…
I’d go for a spatula and a tub of axle grease (:
Are cattle with plastic car helmets more valueable than cows without such?
They’re worth a dozen normal cattle, especially because plastic car helmets haven’t been invented yet!
I’m sure some entrepremoo-er will get on it!
one thing for sure: he has some SERIOUS nerves
Dedication Fail? Excuse me, thats a dedication win.
Repeating a comment win.
Repeating a comment win.
Now batting (batting) for Pedro Borbon (Borbon), Manny Mota (Mota, Mota, Mota…)
Repeating a comment then commenting on the repeated comment win. (or fail, depending on how you look at it)
What’s that sound we hear exactly on the moment the smoking dustbin starts flaming?? *conspiracy WIN*
this isn’t a fail. this is an epic dedication win
Now there’s a unique idea.
NOT.
Lol, it sounds like he attempts to ’shush’ the men that come in to douse the flames. Am I right?
That’s the fire extinguisher.
The fire extinguisher is shushing the men.
The fire extinguisher IS the men.
Hero.
He should have been a fireman, no doubt.
Firemen would not do something as stupid as stay in that room while it’s burning.
Oh, my dear Fluffy, I beg to differ… If the room’s on fire, that’s absolutely where you’ll find firemen. I can’t think of anything more exciting than being in a room on fire!
The room…the room…the room is on fire!
I wish. It’s currently 12:16am EST, and I’m sitting at a computer laughing at all the Failblog comments. If the room were on fire, I’d have something to do, other than irritate you! lol
Firemen put fires out, they don’t gab about the weather
He’s Greek.
He gives the news in bullets. He talks about:
- CERN – LHC
- New taxes legislation and the following dogfight in Greek Parliament
- A game of the Greek Football (as it is played with ones FEET)
- Weather (right about when the extinguish the fire)
When the mic is off, the other guy says something like “Damn you man, you’re burning alive! Don’t you feel anything? (which in Greek is also used when someone won’t react to anything)
I wonder, how did you guys came to the conclusion that he was speaking Spanish? Appropriately, LANGUAGE RECOGNITION FAIL.
Greek indeed sounds a lot like Spanish unless you know one of the two languages. Greek speakers can learn Spanish easily without any accent (probably the same is true the other way round, it’s just not as common).
Helooooo!!!
Dumb thing 2 say!
Spanish is a latin language, greek even has a TOTALY different alphabet. U FAIL
It is abut the language rhythm and melody. For a non-greek and non-spanish listener it sounds very similar to spanish, italian or even greek.
Such melody in your double posts
Don’t seperate them! … shit.
You separated them more…
YOU GOTTA’ SEPARATE ‘EM!
It is about the language rythm and melody. For a non-greek and non-spanish listener it sounds very similar to spanish, italian or even greek.
Such melody in your double-posts
It’s all greek to me.
How does this sound remotely like spanish? lol XD Maybe I’m biased because I speak Spanish. If anything I think just sound wise “sounds” close to Portuguese.
It was admitted that is a publicity stunt
SO IT’S FAKE.
And your alter ego? (Am I jumping the gun?)
Im Spanish, and thats not Spanish for sure.
NICE BURN!
Talk about grace under fire! Very professional!
The “shhhh” is the best part.
I would have sprayed him with the fire extinguisher, until he stops talking and handles the situation. Even if it’s by falling on the floor from suffocation.
What an idiot.
You are soooo fired…
He should have been fired…..oh wait I guess they tried that.
… the office the office the office is on fire, i don’t need no water let the radio moderator burn, burn radio moderator burn.
F*cking A bro!
Am I the only one who thought that he was giving a dedication over the radio (e.g. “this show is dedicated to Samantha from LA”) based on the title?
I was also waiting for that. Maybe he was actually dedicating the last moments of his life and we’re the only far-sighted ones.
This guy really rocks! It’s a clear WIN! No fail in sight.
If you ignore the “setting the place alight” bit.
Epic Radio Host Dedication FTW!
Building Fire Safety FAIL.
“And now, coming to you from the year 1957 is Jerry Lee Lewis with ‘Great Balls of Fire!’”
Followed by the classic Elvis hit “Burning Love”.
With UK band Ash’s “Burn, baby, burn”.
I know Ash personally, they’re from N.I.
And Johnny Cash’s “Burning Ring of Fire” next.
Next up: “Fire (Goatus Flashover Reconstruction)” by Ferry Corsten for all you rave kids out there!
All followed by “Fire Engine Red” by Good Riddnance( which is probably exactly what the station manager said the moment this DJ walked out the building that day!)
*Riddance
In addition to “Through the Fire and Flames” by Dragonforce and “This Fire” by Franz Ferdinand.
And “Firestarter” by Prodigy.
TTFAF on expert
*takes a bow*
only after curry
Dedication FAIL?? This is clearly a “Dedication WIN”. Fire safety on the other hand… unquestionable FAIL!
Damn he’s tough :>
I asked for well-done!
Yes, dedication win.
WHY???
WHY??? WHY??? DELILAH.
Helllooo? Does no-one on failblog listen to Tom Jones?
Hey there Delilah?
We gave up on offending Welshmen on Undetectable Fail.
*pats fuzz on the back*
We did? I didn’t agree to that.
What a lazy ass.
What TV show was that for?
What the hell? That guy didn’t fail?
I should read: FIRE FAIL!
The guy didn’t move from the mic, and didn’t panic
EPIC FAIL IN REALIZING WHAT ACTUALLY HAD FAILED
Priorities FAIL!
Dedication Win
Self Preservation Fail
Seconded. I saw no fail here. I saw awesome. Well, ’sides the self-preservation aspect of course!
Yeah, exactly.
This isn’t even a fail, it’s just a funny video.
Volume fail!
How is this a fail? Damnit, people! The submitter has FAILED AT FAIL POSTING.
People keep saying that! Don’t you realise that by failing to fail, the failblog is going RECURSIVE on all of our asses?!
my name is cold… Ice Cold
Hey, did a little research. It’s not real. It’s part of a “viral” ad campaign. They “leak” it onto the internet and people start sending it everywhere. Funny though. BTW 99.5 is a radio station in Greece. The guy is reading a news story about the CERN collider being turned on and when the fire starts he’s reading listener comments about how worried they are about it blowing up and ending the world. At the end one of the guys says, “What’s wrong with you? You’re on fire and you sit there and do nothing?”
NOT FAIL….. WIN!! You all would run like screaming girls or hide under your table and cry if this happened to you.
HIGH FI5VE
yes, i always run screaming when i see a viral ad vid
RADIO FUEGO!
Survival behavior FAIL
dedication win, more like.
FAIL. What an idiot. He panic enough to kick the basket and expand the fire.
By the way, this is a publicity of the radio station that plays on the tv.
Ok so WHY DOES HE NOT STOP TO PUT OUT THE FIRE
Epic phail
No more ouzo for that guy.
Dedication Win, priority fail !
this just in: the control room is on fire.. and now for a song from Billy Joel!
Plays the hottest hits!
If it was Laser Hot Hits, on the north sea, at least there would have been plenty of water to put out the fire with!
Dedication WIN
Danger Awareness FAIL
Failblog faked out again? Wow you’re dumb.
Reminded me of today’s Cyanide & Happiness… in reverse order
http://www.explosm.net/comics/1423/
ice cold nerves WIN!
how was that a fail? he stayed behind and didn’t bail out.
This is what happens when you smoke indoors. Idiot.
Likely chemical inhalation burn from CO2 extinguisher FAIL…
If he hadn’t started that fire in the first place I’d double that man’s salary for this. Seeing as how he did in fact start it….. *must resist lame ‘you’re fired’ pun*
Personally, I’m amused that the guy with the extinguisher walks in and leans past the big fire that’s ruining something that looks expensive to put out the little fire on the floor, and then walks away like “Yep. That’s under control.”
That is win..just..win.
ha – that’s Greek, he was reading the news and when things were starting to explosde he was reading the weather! I recognize that voice hahahaha going to send it to all the Greek relatives
id say professionality WIN!
This is a new radio station and the video was part of the promotion..Fake
Surely Dedication win, fire safety fail.
The show MUST go on ^^
next commenter is gay!
Just wanted ya’ll to know… xD
Thats what i call a classic!
I wish I could see the headlines if it hadn’t ended the way it did: “Radio DJ dies in studio fire, was too stupid to save his own arse”
Clearly faked.
ITS GREEK! !!!! ! !! ! !!!
ITS GREEK!!!!!!
ITS GREEK!!!!!
yea so instead of being like Ped_Xing
You must stand on your head over a pail of lemonade under a full moon on the thirteenth of January, during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain to hear the satanic message. Oh, and don’t forget to shove ears of corn into your nostrils.
you could just find some Greek dude,,,
hahahahahaha.
[dead]
People, I just want to say the guy is not speaking in spanish. And by the way, it is clearly a fail/fake!
what the hell??? why does he just sit there?
common sense fail.
what an ass, he prefers to go on and die…asshole
Completly faked. Who doesn’t turn off the microphone going into a break?
This so-called “fail” just proves without a doubt that there needs to be an ICHC site with hilariously awesome wins (if something needs to be axed for it, I’m going with Roflrazzi).
Give that guy a raise!
That’s not a FAIL. That’s a Dedication WIN!
Wow.
He’s dedicated, alright…
Dedicated to being dead.
la wea chanta
i have no idea what this guy could have been POSSIBLY saying that was so important that the fire was not worth his attention… a traffic report? wtf?!? and i thought i noticed that he turned to shoosh the guys trying put out the fire?
this is viral communication for a greek news station.Nothing stops us from keeping you informed.
That’s hot
This should be a WIN, this guy’s a gangster! lol
THe bit where he shushes the fire extinguisher is the best.
That ftw not ftl
funniest video ever
okey dokey, zats ze outside done, vould sir like ze ashtrays emptied?
Wow…Idiot.
obviously DEDICATION WIN, idiots… someone change this
This should be a win, not a fail. That’s some serious dedication.
EPIC WIN!
That guy could of got fired! Literally!
Gotta respect the man’s dedication to his job!
this is a poor dumb
This is a WIN. rofl
Stupid for knocking over the bucket… other than that this is win.
That was “City 99.5 FM” radio station in Greece promo, advertisiment, it is not real.
This is a FAILBLOG.ORG FAIL!
i would hire that guy because he at least finishes the job no matter what the circumstances.
i cant believe this guy
