  3. Cloral says:

  4. me says:

  5. Anonymous says:

    (lameness fail D:)

  6. xc says:

    You can hear it cracking before it actually breaks.

  7. jean says:

    second bastard!

  8. Art Vandalay says:

    You could see he tried to shift his weight after the first pop and I think that just delayed the inevitable. I really wanted to see the interviewer’s reaction! Editing fail?

  9. Dr Hugh says:

    Buttock re-positioning fail!

  10. otte-o says:

    From the sounds of the pops, it’s like he is sitting on a wicker basket.

  11. abstract says:

    12rd lol!!! good mornig all

  12. warwicka says:

    this has already been on surely?

  13. abstract says:

    well, actually it is afternoon..not mornig or morning, int of wish I had typed moring so we could joke about mooring and fail boats and things

  14. Omega says:

    See the video again and pay attention around 23-24 seconds… he fart….

    FAILLLL

  15. Donnythebowler says:

    His chair broke and then he fell.

  16. Ben says:

    Now THAT is gotcha media.

  17. I knew from that first crack that it wasn’t going to end well.

  18. madamesmoosh says:

    It doesn’t even sound like a fart, in my head I am picturing a leprechaun with a cat-0-nine tails…

  19. Blue2thFairy says:

    The opportunity for proper engagement is actually after the taping of the……chair legs?

  20. Dabamash says:

    Holy shit. That’s the hardest i’ve ever laughed at a fail vid. Damn, my ribs hurt now.

  21. Soulcrun says:

    Haha the fact that he’s trying to cover it, is the best. :P

  22. Dabamash says:

    Wtf, why does everyone think it is a fart? It’s clearly the sound of the chair breaking…

  23. Ashley says:

    Heh heh… He’s the… CHAIRman. XDD

    Sorry, I can’t resist pointing out that lovely pun.

  24. Not_you says:

    FIRST!!!

  25. joienegru says:

    it’s ok, that was supposed to happen

  26. the encyclopidia of useless information says:

    had no one else already seen this on have i got news for you
    well not all the americans, but thats beside the point

  27. Gollum says:

    Chairperson, huh? Apparently not so much.

  28. ben says:

    Obesity ftw!

  29. Mikebeat1 says:

    The Chairman has the floor.

  30. Capt. Awesome says:

    Chair was probably made in China, built by whore children who work for free for 500 yen. They work hard and cheap so that Virginia doesn’t eat them first. But their product that guy in the video. What should they do?

  31. Sprite101 says:

    Chairman has trouble keeping his seat.

    I love irony

  32. Captain Weiner says:

    FAT PEOPLE ARE HILARIOUS!!!!

  33. Slick Rick says:

    Note his use of the word “digest”

  34. Dr Hugh says:

    A thought for the Gentlemen of failblog.
    Idly contemplating the mechanics of all that meat firstly descending at 9.8m/s and then stopping due to the floor. The hydraulic pressure would be focussed on his cohones reducing them to the size of small peas… probably.

    • Blue2thFairy says:

      *taps on Doc’s shoulder, whispers*

      There are women here too, please don’t anger them :-)

    • Pingo Wellman says:

      COHONES FAIL
      PD: it is actually spelled “cojones”…

    • cobrajoe says:

      A slight correction from the physically minded out here, he wasn’t descending at 9.8m/s, he was accelerating downward at 9.8m/s^2. This means that in the speed at the time when he hit the ground was probably closer to .98 m/s, assuming a .1 second freefall. This should not be enough pressure to reduce the size on one’s “cohones”

      Or maybe I’m just explaining it to reduce the pressure felt on mine…

  35. Patryck says:

    Funny but not haha funny

  36. skwirt says:

    why would he fall on cojones when he likely has legs under and ample buttocks behind him?

    *familiarity with human anatomy fail*

  37. skwirt says:

    unless he was in fact a Chair Man of the Chair People in which case he would have legs but no buttocks and those were his legs that broke, exposing his chair-cojones to the full weight of that fall.

    check and mate.

  38. james says:

    This was on nothingtoxic.com like 5 days ago.
    Speed fail.

  39. pootpoot says:

    This video is already funny as a chair fail study, but that he is introduced as a chairperson makes it so much more hilarious.

    Unperturbedness win after the first crack, though!

    • Gladiator763 says:

      He is a Chairperson from the land of the Thrones where they speak some ungodly mongrel dialect of Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

      • strategist says:

        *sighs at gladiator* whatever Induni laguage he speaks, it does not come from a norse/anglo-saxon base. in fact the Induni languages wee some of the first languages to be spoken on this planet. norse people come from africa, and so does everybody, so language fail. btw, south africa is a democracy onot a monarchy.

        • Gladiator763 says:

          * sighs at strategist * I was being sarcastic. Land of the Thrones is because he was a CHAIRperson. “Throne” sounds Norse, so I put it as a blend of Norse and Germanic.

  40. Ashley says:

    Fatguy: “…the opportunity for engagement is under the table…”
    Reporter: “And so are you!”

  41. iseejou says:

    you guys.
    remember when Chairman Nhlanhla Nene fell off the chair?

  42. czuhc says:

    HAHAHA ! Failblog is full of subtle fails, but these kind of fails always crack me up ! I remember when this happened at school (it happened quite often) , in my younger days, I couldn’t stop laughing for half an hour. Sometimes the teacher had to send me out of the classroom.

  43. Shadow Link says:

    According to my search, only THREE people have blamed his fatness for the chairs destruction. I am sorely disappointed.

  44. ummm says:

    failchairs never get old. ><

  45. chenry says:

    Funny every time.

  46. John Masters says:

    I love the face he makes as its happening. Your not sure if its the chair or bowl movement.

  47. inappropriateone says:

    I’m 44, and farts are funny…if they come unexpectedly, or from someone you’d never think would do it… I was in a pilates class a few months ago, and some old lady was having a turrable time…. I almost bit off my lip..she eventually just left class. She either got tired of prairie doggin it, and decided to go ahead and grow that tail, or got embarrassed by her own flatulence… When she left, several people, myself included, broke down and finally laughed until I almost farted….

  48. inappropriateone says:

    Hey John, what’s a bowl movement? Is that something the PBA uses… Earl Anthony special bowl movement…
    ;-)

  49. Hoodis says:

    Noone commented his name??? Thats strange, i have lost your guys respect -.-

  50. blackrockmarauder says:

    “I cannot help but to succumb to the irony”.

    Is that irony?

  51. Some Guy says:

    Chair fail? More like fat ass fail.

  52. Noddie says:

    There we go. Now you all can see what Shit we have to put up with in South Africa! And the best of all is, he can hear that the chair is about to go, but he still sits and waits for the moment of truth!! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

  53. Hi. Its Me says:

    I really think the best part is the girl anchor just sat there and started talking to the camera like nothing happened…

  54. Bonez says:

    You can’t call him a CHAIRman anymore…

  55. kim says:

    Oh snap! What do you say to that? “uuuhm…. back after this commercial break!” lol

  56. Matthew Danger Armstrong says:

    wow another “proudly South African” moment i never imagined this clip would spread so fast, (happened about 2 weeks ago).

    news update the dude is now Suing the SABC (south african broadcast commision)

  57. chris says:

    LOL this is in south africa its a south african show whahaahahaha

  58. abacus says:

    LOL South africa sucks. That’s why my family moved from there in the first place

  59. John says:

    N.I.G.G.E.R. FAIL!

  60. FL says:

    I seriously laughed for five minutes after seeing this. I had to close the door to my office, fearing that my coworkers would think i was on drugs.

  61. JonnoJ says:

  62. omgshadowisgay (onyoutube) says:
