In-Flight Movie Fail
UPDATE for those of you receiving messages from your anti-virus software: (tl;dr version: everything’s ok) Somebody from CrunchGear spoke with Google/YouTube and apparently anti-spyware software from Computer Associates had been returning false positives, identifying certain files contained within YouTube embed codes as malware. The specific YouTube issue is apparently being corrected by Computer Associates and wasn’t actually harmful in the first place. If you’ve got CA software, you might want to check for any updates.

Ah, nothing like a little reassurance.
WRONG! You’re supposed to say “FIRST!”
I know, right? That was my first first. /dance
Hm, since I’m up here at the top of the page, can I let you guys know about a game giveaway I’m doing at Level-Up? Just click my name to check us out.
Oh no! Spammers got to failblog! help!

This is not my beautiful spam.
DESU!
spam just did nest below this level, so what now?

Monty Python fail, huh?
spam… ain’t that a jam brand? xD
lol jk
OMFG!!!! HOW DO I STOPPED SPAMMERS?!!!
But you failed at saying “first”.
Man I spent too much time on Fark in high school to say First. Saying first is the fail, being the first with style is WIN.
Yeah, but self promotion is always fail, so you still fail, sorry.
Probably. But we’re a good cause, we’re a start-up charity, etc. And hey, free game.
aaaand *uses taser I stole from ja fail, who stole it from Bondfan*
Problem solved.
DONT TAZE ME BRO!!
Don’t taze yourself BRO!
Congratulations! Head rush, isn’t it?
noodleguy, I’m afraid I’ll have to taze you under FailAct no. 425, Section 3A, where ‘any person(s) who commit the act of saying f*rst or s*cond will be tazed’.
oh jeez i didnt know about that rule.
guess ill just have to say it in french
Don’t tase me bro!
Alright, but this is your last warning. If you do it again…
*waves tazer menacingly*
I’ll be good!
*starts to cry*
Oh, wait, but spaghetti can’t get electrocuted so I win anyway ;o
There are other methods, including:
1. Burning at the Stake
2. Burning by Dragonwriter
3. Burning by ironic comments
4. ????
5. PROFIT!!!!
*grabs tazer from Bondfan*
**ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZzzzzzzzzzt**
*throws tazer back to Bondfan*
Problem solved!
Yeah, but tasing does not hurt spaghetti. so I still win.
And dude, he made a numbered list. the temptation was FAR too grat for me to resist.
Far too what?
too grat. Haven’t you heard of it? It’s like “great” but without the “e”
By the way, I just stole your tazer and have been using it without your permission. You can’t have it back.
You are not spaghetti, you are a person. Now bow before Bondfan’s tazer before I taze myself again…
Fewlish fewl. I am the noodleguy, and your electrically charged weaponry is not very effective against me! I shall not bow to thee! Also, I have the tazer now. Did you miss it? *tases ja fail*
See?
Ja fail uses Taze on Noodleguy!
But it’s not very effective…
Noodleguy uses Taze on Ja fail!
And it’s super effective!
*shakes head*
*mumbles* stoopid humans
*walks away*
Hey they are having an epic battle of tazermon!!!
One teeny *FOOM!* and that taser is toast.
Just sayin’.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening…can you guys start from the beginning again?
*facepalm*
You know what’s even better than a tazer? A laser!
That should have been blindingly obvious…
K——- ——- <q=q
You know what’s better than a laser?
A long chat thread about tazering spaghetti.
If tazing does not work, then I’ll eat you. I love spaghetti. Problem solved.
That must have been a drag!
I guess they ran out of movies to show and they just had to wing it!
I don’t know the dynamics of the situation, for all we know it could have been a simple aero.
What an uplifting thought
I still fail at italics. Supposed to say “what an uplifting thought.
Hope that worked.
You guys have a rotten altitude.
Dragonwriter! take off your pants…..doitnowmove.
HAH! The joke’s on you, Blue2th…I’m not wearing pants!
Neener!!
*pants*
Yes?
Sorry…false alarm.
Yaw have no idea what their problem is.
Pitch one of you has seen that movie?
knot me
You probably already know this — The in-flight movie was a National Geographic program, I believe it was called “Seconds From Disaster” or somethjing very like that. It was a live-action / CGI dramatization of a real collision. But I think the real “fail” here is that someone approved it for in-flight service — even if it was satellite rather than canned, *somebody* should have had the lights on but didn’t.
after that the passengers didnt t(h)rust the flight crew with their lives
This fail really propelled that airplane out of obscurity!
TOO MANY PUNS!!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!
This reminds me of that urban legend where they showed the film ‘the Poseidon Adventure’ on the Titanic.
Probably equally fake too.
Wait, what? You’re calling the video fake?
detecting the obvious WIN!
It’s obviously photoshopped.
But it’s not a photo.
Photoshop is magic
The shadows are all wrong!
I think the video is real, but note the network bug on the lower right corner. It appears to be in-flight DirecTV or similar, as opposed to programming chosen by the airline.
Note- Urban Legend.
Exactly.
Perfectly.
Indubiously.
Indubitably
Indubitably.
Undoubtably.
inside-out-ably
Precisly
Pristinely
*tosses noodlyguy and extra E*
and fails horribly at typing…..
*ahem*
*noodleguy, *an
THANKS BUDDY I LOVE ‘E’s!
But you broke the combo you jerk! *strangles with piece of spaghetti*
I was about to taze him, but I felt bad for being such a one-trick pony.
*tazes him anyway*
c-c-c-c-c-c-c-COMBO BREAKER
*hangs head in shame*
Probably?!? The Poseidon Adventure was released 60 years after the Titanic sank.
Well, you never know, do you?
Someone on the titanic torrented it.
Those damn torrents, always showing up before the movie makes it to the theaters…
I wonder if I can get a torrent for “Pokemon 2050: Mewtwo Returns. Again.” then?
What?
Right.
That’s weird, when I responded to your post it was at the bottom of the page, not a response to my post. It makes a lot more sense now.
Failblog’s stupidity strikes again.
lol
Those damn torrents, always showing up before the movie exists…
Yea, I hate it when that happens. You never know when someone with a theatre cam is going to come into your house and pirate it to show on the big screen.
Oh yeah, happens all the time.
Damn burglars and their happy-shrooms…
Wouldn’t that be showed the movie ‘Titanic’ on the ‘Posideon Adventure’? At least on the newer versions?
Yes it’s true, but they were showing the remake with Richard Dreyfus.
Oh god… that reminds me of last summer, when they showed that movie on the plane my family was taking to get to a cruise. Horribly ironic. Nothing happened to the boat, though.
This one time at band camp
Oh man… I think I woulda freaked out. It’s hard enough getting on a plane in the first place without being reminded of the statistically unlikely eventualities which I’ve tried so hard to forget.
This was an overseas flight. The follow up movie was Snakes On A Plane. It was a double feature.
I would pay extra for that flight.
I think I would have taken my shoelace off and thrown it on someone if they were playing Snakes on a Plane and I was part of the flight, lol.
JetBlue: Now with extra realistic in-flight movie viewing experience!
lmao
Vocabulary fail! An eventuality is something that statistically is going to happen at some point, whereas something statistically unlikely is something that is not.
I know this is old but….
Statistically speaking, both will happen given enough time.
Unlikely != Impossible
What? No Lost?
One good only hope! With has many overseas flights I take, I keep hoping that if I do crash that I end up on a deserted island in the tropics!
Nothing to boost the passenger morale than a movie about a mid-air collision. Makes me want to fly more often.
First to post without watching it!
*high fives*
You, sir, are and idiot.
*removes extraneous d to give more street cred to noodleguy*
Thank you.
you fail. *tazes spaghetti*
How many times does this have to be said?!!?!
Noodleguy cannot be tazed!!!
It’s like Prince of Space all over again…
lol!
I must reiterate my earlier codicil that your efforts will not work on me!
Do I need to point out the irony of that comment?
I just realized we have a titanium spork that can be used against the noodles!
Titanium sporks, the weapon of choice against pasta with tazers.
Ahhhhhh, aren’t you just the sweetest.
I think it’s great! Nothing like a bit of a sick sense of humor! Kinda like showing Titanic while on a cruise ship while sliding by the ice burgs!!!!! Yeah i’m probably doomed to hell.
You are close to hell after that uncapitalised ‘I’.
The road to hell is paved with uncapitalized ‘I’s.
I thought it was paved with frozen door-to-door salesmen.
I thought it was paved with good intentions.
Common misconception, but I’m pretty sure you are thinking of the office of wthe Socialist Party for America, not hell. I get them confused all the time too.
wELL i gUesS yOUr jUST gOiNg To hAvE TO tAzE hAhAHaHAhHAHAAH!!!!!
*tases this fellow*
I bet you ain’t so glad you woke up now, eh, buddy? Yah thas’ what I thought, eh?
WOOOOHOOO, won’t have to put any Gel in my hair to get it to stand up now!!!! Thanks!
Curse you! This is more difficult than I foresaw. This fellow uses multiple exclamation marks as well, a sure sign of a diseased mind. Hmmmm….
*pulls straight-jacket out of the closet and slams it onto Glad, then stuffs him into a soft padded room with a rubber duck in it.*
There we go!
throw in the taser and let him play with it some.
He might LIKE that, though…
Did you ever get that pie chart issue worked out?
…
Why, oh why did you have to use that “multiple exclamation marks” reference? Now I feel almost conciliatory towards you.
watch it, you arent noodles.
Yoda, you are, jake?
This ist like “Airplane!” in Real! (The Zucker-Abraham-Zucker comedy from 1980)
That was my first thought as well. I can’t remember if it was Airplane or Airplane 2 that had the plane crashes on the in-flight movie.
Firstndrdth
*TASE!*
*golf clap*
*bitch slap*
*one hand clapping*
*tree falls in forest and no-one’s around*
*The London Symphony Orchestra playing at the Beethoven Centre for the Hearing Impaired.*
*Hearing Impaired complain due to lack of sound*
*herring impaired complain due to lack of fish*
Uh, didn’t the Zuckers do this same gag about a generation ago in “Airplane”?
Sooooooooooo what movie are they watching?
Yeah, what movie is that anyway?
…. it was planes crashing, its enough to make it a fail and thats all that matters.
I’ve never seen the film ‘planes crashing’. What’s it like?
It woodn’t have a level ending.
No it isnt! I wanna see that movie now!!!!
*takes powdered donut away*
From the yellow square in the corner of the screen I’d say it was a National Geographic episode that was (unthinkingly) bundled in some of the pre-programmed TV shows that airlines love to regurgitate.
Actually, judging by the CC reader, this was a jetBlue flight and the National Geographic Channel just happened to be airing an episode of “seconds from disaster” when the plane was in the air. Not really fail, just incredible irony.
It was a doco about the collision between a Bakshir Airlines passenger plane and a DHL cargo plane – http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Bashkirian-Airlines-Flight-2937, killed everyone on board.
I remember seeing the doco myself, the night before flying from Japan to the US. Just what you need on your mind when about to take off.
Here’s my thought: That was the third class movie.
ha
Economy class, surely?
No, Shirley’s high maintenance. She’ll accept nothing less than First Class.
next
That could have come straight out of that spoof movie Airplane! from way, way back. Funniest fail I’ve seen yet.
People always say that it is the funniest fail they’ve ever seen.
It’s a LIE!
Forgive me for saying this….THE FAIL IS A LIE!
Unforgivable! :p
NO! THE FAIL IS DELICIOUS AND MOIST!
you, sir [or madam], are the funniest fail i’ve seen yet.

DONG could have also been acceptable.
It was in Flying High
(Airplane in the U.S, coz they didn’t want to warp their fragile little minds)
It just goes to show, there is nothing so stupid that someone, somewhere, will do.
Two part response:
1) Airplane is a much better title than Flying High
2) Humboldt County
Attention all passengers, this is your Captain speaking. I would like to remind you that your tv screens do not predict the future.
But just in case, we have taken the last three parachutes and abandoned the plane.
If you look out your right you can see us waving as imminent death comes upon you.
Thank you for flying with us. Have a nice day.
What’s the title? I wanna see it
I like how at the end the pilots are still fighting with the controls, as if there’s some button they could press that would cause that hunk of fuselage to not plummet to earth at terminal velocity.
If you listen really close you can hear one of the pilots whisper “I sure as heck hope Scotty has my co-ordinates right now!!!”
Please, whats the name of that movie?
It looks like a dramatizaton of the tragic 2002 mid-air collision of a DHL Flight 611 and a Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937, killing 71 people including 52 children.
According to Wikipedia, “This accident was featured in an episode of the Discovery Channel Canada program Mayday (also known as Air Emergency on the National Geographic Channel in the US, or Air Crash Investigation and Disaster Detective in other parts of the world)”.
Yup. If you check on YouTube, it is the NG video. Check under “Mid Air Collision” by submitter kconz.
Yeah Im pretty sure I saw this on ’seconds from disaster’ or something..discovery channel…woop
ohhhh ok, thanks. Ive seen that one. Great show, great ep.
Failslage.
I can attest that they DO show stuff like this on flights. There was a show on TLC (or Discovery? Can’t recall) about plane crashes & what they learn from them to make future planes safer.. My husband watched it on a flight we were on.
The turbulence adds a nice touch. It’s part of the airlines effort to raise revenue. They sell clean underwear in the back of the plane, supplied by gnomes.
PHASE 2 ?
Are they new underpants or just stolen from Dragonwriter?
Hey!
You can’t steal what someone doesn’t have in the first place. :p
No pants, no underpants?
*Hands Dragon a handkerchief*
Gnomes? That must have been Dobby before Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
philistine!
reference fail
At 20,000 feet, there is no ‘Undo’.
WIN!
A LUXURY YACHT!
SPECIAL OFFER AT SCAMCOMPETITIONS!
“I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley!”
this is completely awesome. i wish they’d always show things like that during flights.
the day after 9/11, when i was working in a video store, i took the liberty of highlighting all the great plane crash//plane problems/hijack films, such as Passenger 57, Air Force One, Final Destination, Airplane, Hijack!, etc.
You know something? Every single one of them rented.
Heartless Bastard FAIL.
The day after 9/11… Hmmm *thinks* I can’t remember what date the day after 9/11 was…
I’m pretty sure this is an episode of “Mayday”… season 2, episode 4, “Deadly Crossroads”…
Yay!!! Our comments are back!
“Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up pointless comments”
You sound just like me! Except, replace “pointless comments” with “booze”.
You sound like me, except replace “booze” with “sniffing markers”.
You sound like me, except replace “sniffing markers” with “sniffing dittos”.
You sound like me, except replace “sniffing dittos” with “sniffing my fingers.”
You sound like me, except replace “sniffing my fingers” with “whacking the dragon”.
You sound like Dragonwriter, except replace “whacking the dragon” with “whacking the…” oh wait…
Reference fail?
Plane crash movie on a plane…..good times!
lol
One time, I found a treasure map, but it was on a Denny’s kids menu. It didn’t lead anywhere.
O.o You wouldn’t happen to be related to Non-seq, would you?
these comments are like 5000 times more funny than the fails,i love reading these ,the tazer and spam things were awesome ,lmao
Uhm.. what’s so “fail” about showing airplane crashing movies on an airplane? I is there some kind of law that one breaks? Will the world fall apart? Will the plane crash if you sit on seat no 13? I don’t really get it.
I always watch movies like Die Hard 2 when I take long airplane trips.. and I do it frequently each year…. still alive and kicking
(ssshhhH! stop speaking sense, woman!)
I love sitting in row 13 on flights, on 737’s or A-320’s they are the row directly above the wing so they receive the least turbulence!
Hey, I know you! You were the dude that sat next to me on a flight from Seattle to Baltimore. You smelled like old spice, natchos and sperm and you were watching Lethal Weapon 4 on your laptop. I chuckled to myself when i noticed you had Hoobastank and Hanna Montana on your itunes coverflow, like side by side.
I really wish you hadn’t ordered the vegan burrito because sitting next to you for the following 2 hours was like sitting in a sauerkraut sauna.
Becaise a lot of people get nervous when they fly so the last thing an airline should want to do is show them a video of airplanes crashing, that just makes them more nervous!
Dude once i was on a plane and whadaya know theyre showing Snakes on a Plane movie lol..
Once I was watching an episode where an Air Korea plane crashed and the first ad on during the break was one for Air Korea….
LOL. That was funny. Its from National Geographic’s ‘Seconds from Disaster’. This episode is about the DHL and a russian passenger plane that collided a few years ago. They are all true stories too
lol, failvideo fail:
This video is no longer avaible
Excellent.
Well I guess that it’s now either National Geographic fail or copyright fail whichever sounds best!
“Video no longer available”
Well… whoever picks movies for airlines is obviously on crack – first time I saw Snakes on a Plane was on a Qantas flight…
I mean going to Australia – the country with most venomous serpents, like, ever – and watching a movie like that? Cleverly enough on the exact same plane type they fly in the movie. Good thing the movie was more funny than it was scary!
I still love Qantas for the irony though.
National Failographic
WIN
The video has been removed due to a copyright claim by National Geographic Channel.
There is nothing there.
Fail.
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FAIL
YOUTUBE FAIL
Nah, Youtube has to follow the laws. It’s more an Epic Copyright fail.
oh come on.
national geographic copyright fail.
Wow, what an abuse of copyright law by NatGeo. That’s well within the realm of fair use.
Let’s go to court.
great way of appearing like a complete jerk company..
Any chance this has been uploaded again somewhere else?
LAST!
you can’t watch the youtube video anymore because it says “this video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by National Geographic Channel”
nat. geo. fail
Wow! Poor choice for an in flight movie. Hope no one who managed to just over come their fear of flying to get on the plane saw that film
ya they played 911 on my flight
won’t dat George Lopez’s mama dat walked past?
0:30 Oh man!
Love that Show!
This is more of a coincidence than a fail. But still rated 5/5
LMAO xD
