» 704 Failures in Communication

  1. Admiral Apparent says:

    *headfloor*

  2. BondFan4518 says:

    Failblog comments – proudly making ICHC commenters look like complete morons.

  3. Zurack says:

    It’s funny that they don’t know how to use wheels. And it’s crazy that I can make a long comment and still be the first one!

  4. titaniumspork19 says:

    *swears* Lurking fails. Maybe at 1 am.

  5. FactoryConnection says:

    I somehow knew that the head of this statue was toast the moment that I saw it. Those crazy folks and their crazy sedan platforms!

  6. Ethannation says:

    Hmmm… I remember something about idols being bad… like in the 10 commandments or something… I dunno… I’m Jewish… ;)

  7. scotteh says:

    I like how someone took a picture 1 second after it hit the floor. Nice crime scene examination there, CSI.

  8. KaBooM says:

    That’s awesome! I hate religious icons almost as much as I hate religion! That’s not fail, it’s WIN!

  9. John says:

    CROWD OVERREACTION FAIL.

    The statue fell, and it was a fail, but by the crowd shreaking you’d expect something far worse. Idiots.

  10. Krakatoa says:

    I want that guy to be a pall bearer at my funeral. Future casket-fail coming right up.

  11. GladIwokeUp says:

    heck a little gorilla glue and some crayola paints and it will be fine

    • fluffy the fish says:

      That’s what it was made of in the first place. No, wait.. that’s what the statue-bearer was made of. No, wait..

  12. Blåbär says:

    It was broken before they dropped it! winkwink

  13. Justin says:

    Why is the crowd screaming and freaking out so much?

  14. Mookie says:

    I think one of those guys used to work as a chef on Sesame Street.

  15. DocM says:

    OMFG!!! Jesus’ mom is dead!!!!

  16. scotteh says:

    BTW, Im sure this has come up before BUT… I tried and tried to post a comment with IE7 and it kept saying 500 Internal Server Error and blamed the website. Then I gave up and tried Chrome and it worked first and EVERY time! So, IE fail, Chrome win!

  17. Meh! says:

    Atleast the song stoppped :c

  18. Nukey says:

    Jeees. It’s only Jesus. It not like he’s “Real”… Oh, wait. They believe that don’t they?

  19. Keith says:

    Somebody needs to give head to that statue to make it all better.

  20. TenCommandments says:

    That looks like a Win for the Second Commandment.

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:

  21. F. says:

    He just lost his mind… and his had!

  22. NeenerNeenerNeener says:

    Could totally see that coming, and I’m sure somehow, that God himself was involved.

    • Ryannon says:

      If you listen closely, you will hear a deep voice say “remember that golden calf thing you read about? same thing”.

  23. This is why one should probably consider employing the use of their hands when carrying such an object.

  24. LOLZER says:

    I saw the nun in the front row twinkle her nose then the statue went down…

    CONSPIRACY!!

  25. Mookie says:

    The same thing happened to the Venus de Milo.

  26. OM says:

    Some quick moves by that nun. Respect.

  27. FLSTC01 says:

    If breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck, how much do you get for shattering a religious icon? In church?

  28. Freeside says:

    She’ll never get ahead in life.

  29. Limrasson says:

    Bad Omen

  30. Retaba says:

    Where are the ‘FAKE!” comments?

  31. Ken says:

    And Christ Has Broken.

  32. Impish1 says:

    First the Jews kill Jesus, then the Irish Catholics kill Mary. If this was the kind of stuff that happened at church all the time, I’d go.

  33. Soulcrun says:

    I don’t really see how this can be funny.
    It’s shocking yes, but not funny.

  34. Greg says:

    How could you possibly think that doing this would end well?

  35. Tommy says:

    OMG! maybe it’s a sign.

  36. ID 10 T Error says:

    Is there really any doubt that this would happen? You have an unsecured statue on top of a platform carried by feable old men.

  37. Joe Corrao says:

    Ya wheres your god now Moses?

  38. raelalt says:

    NARF! Right now the random banner ad above this fail is for religious icons.

  39. Lee says:

    If you watch carefully you can see the moment where it slips off his shoulder. It’s quick, and after that they stand no chance of recovery.

  40. Mauro says:

    Oh shit this is the best FAIL i’ve ever seen in this month!!

    Churchfail.
    Jesusfail.

    OWNED.

  41. scotteh says:

    You know, I bet there are a bunch of people there among the devout who have been dragged there against their will who are trying desperately to keep from laughing out loud. VERY loud. Mostly at the rest of the people who are freaking out over nothing.

    And thinking “Best church service EVAR!”

  42. Pablo Picasso says:

    WHERE’S YOUR MESSIAH NOW?!

  43. Blue2thFairy says:

    OMG! Look ma, no hands!

  44. yesnoyesno says:

    immaculate misrepresentation.

  45. Dakker says:

    Fallen idols.

  46. MYTN says:

    Where’s your God now?!

  47. Jon says:

    lol religion is sick ^^

  48. Skwerlly Bob says:

    Just this week, it had finally arrived from Italy. After 6 long yrs. of Tuesday Goulash Sales to raise the money. It’s a beautifully hand made special order through Icons-B-Us to perfectly match the other statues. Of course there was the 2 year wait for the Pope’s Blessing of it, then the ordeal with the smugglers who filled it full of FAKE “Giant Gummy Bear on a Stick” with the resulting 3 year battle to get Italian Customs Officials to release it. That doesn’t even include the ship having been hijacked by pirates, the statue first getting delivered to a Newark Muslim Preschool by an illiterate illegal alien truck driver and the extra $1437.00 COD charge Sister Mary Margarette had to pay upon arrival. Now if only Deacon Ralph had not won the coin toss to carry it.

  49. Impish1 says:

    It’s a new MMO called World of Godcraft and the level 72 shaman just killed the high level Statue of Immaculate Conception. What was left out of the video was all the great loot that she dropped.

  50. TwiliChaos says:

    Where’s your god now?

  51. Nick says:

    The Lord has spoken!

  52. hullaballo says:

    Best. Mass. Ever.

  53. Iwashere says:

    Notice the nun that tried to catch the falling statue.

  54. DR says:

    And Christians claim to be edumacated. *facepalm*

  55. Wag says:

    Constrictive jacket fail. Gravity win.

  56. UKSponge360 says:

    there is no god… even if there was it shows how much of a toss he gives about prayer :-P

  57. troublemaker says:

    And that’s what they get for worshiping idols. SPLAT ! I thought it was an hysterically funny scene. That nun might have tripped over her silly petticoats which would have been even funnier.

  58. M-F says:

    Hell, party of four!

  59. BAW says:

    If you want to make snarky and ill-informed comments about other people’s religion, that’s one thing. If you are looking for serious discussion on the role of artistic representations of Scriptureal events abd personages, and those from sacred history:

  83. Andy B says:

    That’s what you get for worshipping idols.

  84. Mickey says:

    I’m glad the statue fell so I could laugh at their misfortune.

    • Jasper von Sillyputty says:

      Heh heh. I agree. I laughed very hard at this punctured silly moment of ignorant people venerating a block of plaster.

  85. Dimedel says:
