  1. Tom says:

    Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!
    Duplicate fail

    • rhodias says:

      If it’s a duplicate comment, wouldn’t that be duplicate win? Or perhaps redundancy win? a fail generally implies you didn’t manage to do something.

  2. Bdav says:

    first
    Old video but fun

  3. scotteh says:

    Maybe he should start off with a potato… and work his way up.

  4. ROSIE says:

    Is it me or does he seem a little Coconut shy?………..

  5. jack mehoff says:

    I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts.

  6. blue says:

    my poor uncle :(

  7. River says:

    Aww poor guy. Why did he keep going?

  8. Up Butt Coconut says:

    up your butt with a coconut!

  9. blue says:

    my poor uncle :/

  10. easterhay says:

    it looks like he breaks his wrist

  11. Laura says:

    Maybe he should start with a douche and stick with that.

  12. Momanon says:

    ” and everybody wasn’t kung-fu fighting”

  13. Tony Wilkes says:

    That was very funny :)

    First class fail, and (thankfully) recorded for everyone to enjoy LOL

  14. Allexz says:

    ROFL! Now thats a real FAIL! Hahahah!

  15. Mirjam says:

    There’s a MUCH better one in Dutch!
    With melons :D

    OK here it is:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4XidLx1rXs

    The fun starts at 1:50 or something. ENJOY!

  16. Dabamash says:

    I doubt anyone can break a coconut with his/her bare hands.

  17. coconadz says:

    I think he only hit a coconut once, maybe twice…. lolz!

  18. Mr. Ko says:

    Whaddayamean, he’s got a black keikogi – which he probably calls a kimono – and is ipso facto awesome. Or awful. Fulsome? Some fool? Anyway, don’t mess with a black keikogi, unless you have some serious coconuts!

    • Sammy says:

      Hi pot.

    • maelgwyn says:

      Uhh… thats the outfit not the belt?

      Wow, you’re special

    • Hell Hath No Fury says:

      …and your comment was discriminatory

    • dana326 says:

      chill, nobody really cares that its called a “dan”

      that was an incredible FAIL.. he should work on that then try again…
      -afterthought- he’ll probably fail again tho…

    • Valdrax says:

      Actually, “keikogi” — aka “dougi” or “gi,” as used (incorrectly) in English — refers to the entire marital arts practice outfit, comprising of an “uwagi” (shirt/jacket), “zubon” (pants), and “obi” (belt). “Dan” refers to one’s *rank* in a martial art. Not to any piece of clothing. The black belt and outfit are merely a symbol of one’s rank and not a “dan” itself.

      In other words, STFU n00b. “Racist” indeed. He was making fun of martial arts wannabes like yourself that prance about trying to show off how cool they are. People who might confuse a keikogi with a kimono… or a dan, in your case.

      Though, as to the original poster, I’d like to point out that several martial arts *do* use a black gi traditionally, and it’s not necessarily a show off thing in and of itself. Hapkido, kempo, and jiujitsu practitioners occasionally wear all black gi.

  19. Blue2thFairy says:

    He should put some lime in the coconut then he may feel better.

  20. Petruza says:

    Wow! he’s a 5th degree black belt in… coconut percussion? … vegetarianism?

    • Petruza says:

      Can any german speaker ( or whatever language it is ) tell what excuse does the guy give? maybe the coconuts did not respect the rules of the combat or something.

      • Tom says:

        His excuse was probably “I am very sorry, but when I missed the coconuts and hit that metal I-beam over and over, I broke my second through fourth metacarpals into about fifty pieces, and I really should take a break now.”

      • Limbo says:

        It’s not German, but maybe Swedish?
        Anyway, what a wuss, I mean – I would perform as ludicrous as this guy does, but at least I don’t pretend.
        I’d like to grap this guy’s girlfriend’s hooters when I see them one night out and then see how this wiener would try to pay me back.

        • Lee says:

          Danish! YESS!!! Total Fail on RĂ¥dhusplads (main square, capital city; that would be Copenhagen for the Americans ;) ).

          I’m so proud of my country!!!

          • coyote says:

            Translation please.
            And now in my best Danny Kaye voice:
            ♫Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
            Friendly old girl of a town
            ‘Neath her tavern light
            On this merry night
            Let us clink and drink one down
            To wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen
            Salty old queen of the sea ♫

          • Beth says:

            YEAH! Copenhagen ftw! I was so excited when I saw that, too!

        • Frostektor says:

          I’m pretty sure it’s actually Danish. Definitely not German or Swedish.

      • GladIwokeUp says:

        he didnt bow to them first, thats what went wrong.

      • px1 says:

        It’s from a danish talkshow.
        The female host, says something about – “it must be the rain”, and mister pain-a-colada swears a couple of times, then tells her he “struck the bar” and that his hand isn’t very well.

        *Unreal-speaker voice yells* “Humiliation!”

      • Andy says:

        It’s Danish, and the hostess blames it on the rainy weather. (I’m presuming she means that his hand slips or something?)

      • Guffe says:

        It’s Danish.

        She asks if his hand is okay and he answers “it’s probably not very good”..

        No wonder :P

      • Juggernaut says:

        It’s Danish. He’s trying to break as many as possible in some time frame. She stops him after 15 seconds. The gist of the conversation is that it’s been raining while they set up and his hand is slipping off the coconuts. They seem to have discussed the rain being a problem beforehand. The very first thing she says is, “But you’re still ready to try it?” When she stops him she says, “Let’s stop there…that rain, it’s not really helping.” The last thing she says is, “Let’s wait with the attempt until another time. Otherwise you’ll totally destroy your hand.” (Too late)

      • Sverrir says:

        Translation to his excuse:

        The woman first says: Thomas! Don’t you think we should stop it now? The time was 15 seconds but with all that rain…

        The guys says: I think it helped.

        Woman: Does your hand okay?

        Guy: It hurts

        Woman: You know what? Maybe you should try that experiement another day, or else you’re gonna completely break your hand.

        (The language spoken was Danish)

      • LarsP says:

        Yup, it’s Danish.
        The guy isn’t the one stopping it but the journalist.
        He then agrees to stop and admits that it hurts a bit… ^_^

      • Madsen says:

        It’s Danish, and he doesn’t actually give an excuse. The lady with the mic does however (“it’s probably the rain”), and says he better stop before he totally wrecks his hand. She then asks how his hand feels and he goes, “Yeah, it’s probably not so great… I hit the bar.”

      • Houmand says:

        It’s danish, it’s my motherlanguage, so I’m pretty damn sure I’d know

      • Arktos says:

        its danish and he said that the rain made the coconuts harder

    • Tom says:

      5th degree DAN! not blackbelt! You noob!

      • Petruza says:

        Well I may be a noob at many things. Not martial arts though, as I practice taekwondo and I’m aware of what dan is.
        Judging by this sucker’s uniform, I can’t recognize what martial art is that, so I can’t tell if it uses Dan grades or something else.
        If you know what martial art is this, please enlighten us all.

      • Petruza says:

        I’m a noob in many aspects of life, not martial arts though. I practice Taekwondo and I’m aware of what Dan is.
        Since I can’t identify the martial art of this guy by his uniform, I wouldn’t know if they use Dan or another form of degrees.
        If you know what martial art is this, please enlighten me.

      • Thepook says:

        Ok ok we get that it’s a Dan. Crack the anger management textbook. And understand to those who aren’t as deeply into martial arts it looks and quacks like a belt.

        • Avis says:

          Also? To those that aren’t as deeply into martial arts? Don’t care one way or the other.
          This was not aimed at Thepook, but rather to the roided up freak.

      • maelgwyn says:

        Only because I saw it again – NO ONE CARES?!

  21. ROSIE says:

    I can crush a bounty bar….does that count??

  22. bdjboy says:

    That guy couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, let alone a coconut. He looked like a five year old having a temper tantrum.

  23. izzybetch says:

    NUT FAIL….again

    bust a nut?

  24. Sir Gallivant says:

    Best of all is that is was live television to the whole nation.

  25. Blue2thFairy says:

    I’m wondering if that hand breaker coconut holder was specifically designed for this demonstration of inability.

  26. Klinker says:

    Maybe he should do that with muffins… It’s waaaayyy easier.

  27. Coco says:

    The Coconuts was DODGING!I saw them!

    actually i wont like to be the guy that will hold them instead of metal bar.
    poor guy anyway :(

  28. K says:

    In a win of a different sort, they’ve finally captured proof on film of a man who never has played with his nuts before.

  29. Bob Ladderless says:

    What would he do for a Klondike bar?

  30. scotteh says:

    Mookie, does he have a case against the coconuts? Battery, maybe? You could really milk this one!

  31. Jules says:

    Wow. That went … quite badly.

  32. wanker says:

    Use your head dumbass, use your head!!!

  33. Fred Pennsylvania says:

    Proof that any a-hole can buy a black bathrobe…

  34. BondFan4518 says:

    He’s a British snack?

  35. Frank says:

    Black belt my ass… he has to actually HIT the coconuts!

  36. strach&missy says:

    m-mm-m-m-mmmmmmmultiFAILLLLL(instead of multiform..lol)
    man must be used to failing…he doesn’t seem at all fazed at his fails…

  37. ImYourMind says:

    ROFL failed so god like xD
    he will be a noob for his lifetime…

    • munch says:

      Or, perhaps not. I’d sure like to see what would happen with your head on that bar instead. I’m sure you won’t be so quick to judge his marital skills then, now would you?

  38. Chris says:

    And heres a translation of it all!! Its in Danish. sorry for mistakes.

    host: “So you’re still up for it?
    loser: “Yep! yeah…”
    host: “Well i have an assistant with a watch, so if you are ready we are just gonna move back over here and ermm… are you ready thomas??
    loser: “yeah!”
    host: “and i say. 3. 2. 1. GO!”

    host: “ermm uhh Thomas dont you think you should be careful before you destroy (yes destroy!) you hands
    loser: …shit
    host: “I think we should just stop now, 15 seconds has passed.. in this rain. this isnt going to work..”
    loser: I. I umm… I just took the bar. (the row in which the coconuts are)
    host: “is uhh… is it bad with your hand?”
    loser: “It’s probably not too good”
    host: “Well uh, shouldnt we save this experiment for later? otherwise you will totally destroy your hand!!

    God damnit… you have to KNOW if you have skill or not. Maybe next time he should smash some pastry? He IS Danish after all!

  39. Chris says:

    Oh and for the record. A DAN is something you ADD to your black belt! There are up to a max of 10 DANs you can ADD to your black belt. Once you graduate from the black belt you get a DAN to ADD to your belt. so basically he has a BLACK BELT probably with some amount of DANs added to it. A DAN doesnt have to be more than a yellow line or a patch of some color you can sew into your belt.

  40. Keii says:

    So how many Karate hands did the metal Black Bar break?

  41. Eva says:

    It’s been filmed in DK xD Copenhagen.
    They’re stupid enough to try while it’s raining AND on a metal-bar that doesn’t support the coconuts xD jesus.
    I hate pure danes.
    I’m only half :D

    hahah

  42. rhodias says:

    Hand breaking Win!

  43. Evilbunny says:

    I guess busting a nut is harder than it looks.

  44. yasure says:

    I have to say,

  45. Danger Blade says:

    Wow what an idiot, you need a proper support if your going to split coconuts which require many square pounds of pressure to split by hand

  46. NickZ says:

    I would like to get my hands on her coconuts.

  47. andyO says:

    hey, that’s radhuspladsen in copenhagen, i go to school a block from there.

  48. Mikey D says:

    It’s all very good learning how to defend yourself against coconuts, but what happens if someone comes at you with a point-ed stick?

  49. Without knowing the translation, you get the impression this dude just turns up and ASSUMES he can break 100 coconuts with her bare palm. How ironic. Because he couldn’t. But he tried anyway. But he couldn’t. And he’s Danish.

    But he couldn’t.

  50. SlowPoke says:

    Waiting for the sequel…
    Head butting bowling balls…
    *clank clank clank*

  51. Mikey D says:

    Holy cow!
    He killed Milky Joe

  52. V says:

    did he even hit a coconut? even once?

  53. ema says:

    I like as he’s hesitating before trying the last punch

  54. sum2 says:

    I think he broke at least more coconuts than most of you could break with their bare hand

  55. Anna says:

    How did they find that many coconuts in Denmark?

  56. nayzor says:

    hand breaking: WIN!

  57. ©2008 says:

    Coconut win

  58. SlowPoke says:

    Stupid EURO’s
    had to get that in…..

  59. beingwyrd says:

    why the hell do people keep trying to break those things?

    get a machete and be done with it.

    *waits for coconut cake*

  60. Noobslaya says:

    What is the average flight speed of an unlaidened swallow?

  61. Artstsym says:

    I really don’t want to feel sorry for the guy, on account of he’s a complete moron, but watching him FAIL I can’t help it.

  62. ben says:

    that was actually kinda sad….

  63. shortee says:

    This was beyond FAIL. That was just lunacy. Round objects on a metal shoot with hinges. I could not even laugh. I’m out of laughter for the night and the rest of the week.

  64. vin man says:

    wax on wax off!! now go wax my hummeR!!!!!

  65. yofo says:

    This is so disturbing. He misses the very first one and shatters his hand yet he is determined not to fail(ironically). All of you guys calling him a “wus” would be rolling on the floor crying

  66. Hell Hath No Fury says:

    not if he hasn’t seen my pair of coconuts….

  67. Neroo says:

    haha ye it’s danish national live tv xD

  68. deaddrift says:

    NOW THAT IS A FAIL

  69. beatbox says:

    I’m rarely one to complain on blogs. Failblog is one of my favourite sites. But I found this video too shocking for general consumption. It’s a guy seriously damaging himself, in real life, in a painfully graphic way. I know some people will have different levels of tolerance for this kind of thing, and I know that I’ve had little problem with other similar videos (e.g. the guy coming off the skateboard and getting it between the legs) but for some reason this one makes me squeamish, and genuinely disturbs me. It could be that it’s the guys hand, or the nature of the thing he’s chopping at.

    I’m aware that other people will feel differently, and many will say “if you can’t stand the heat” and I’m prepared to accept that. I think that if I came across this kind of thing again on failblog I’d have to simply stop checking it because it was too disturbing.

    I realise failblog has “g-rated” option. I’m considering this, but I don’t have a problem with rude/swearing etc… That’s often the funniest stuff, and it would be sad to have to filter that out too.

    I suggest that when it comes to videos, they should indicate whether someone gets hurt in the video before we decide to watch it. The other one where the guy teaching the kids shot himself had a similar response in me. Please failblog have some kind of warning system for your videos.

    Is it just me that wants this? Sorry if I sound like a wuss, but I’m just being honest!

    • TheCake says:

      Eh, come on. He does it FOUR TIMES! The TV-woman had to stop him. He wanted to continue. He can’t have hurt himself that bad.

      • deaddrift says:

        Dude, that guy WRECKED himself. Watch it again. If he wasn’t on camera and all pumped up he would have stopped after the first miss, I’ll bet.

        If you think that’s bad then DON’T WATCH THIS:

  70. Simon Bach says:

    Yeah, Danish!
    I rememeber when this was on TV =D
    So faaar out =P
    I’m prett sure it wasn’t serious though ^^

  71. Exocled says:

    This is one of the most funniest thing i ever have seen. Dk 4 ever ;P

  72. benjaminvallen1 says:

    Ouch.

  73. TheCake says:

    Recipy for good fail:

    1. Have a crazy idea!
    2. Do not think through the idea, but instead go directly to implementing the idea.
    3. Make sure the implementation is such that any failure of the idea leads to extra pain.
    4. Do not, I repeat NOT try it out in advance. Instead, make the first attempt live on national television.

  74. dipshits says:

    PLEASE I WANT TO SEE YOUR WATERMARK ON MORE VIDEOS I’VE SEEN ELSEWHERE LONG AGO.

  75. Talby says:

    is that amsterdam central square?

  76. p_m says:

    Erm, this actually IS an epic fail. Like failing to break world record of swimming because the water is covered with ice. How about trying to break green coconuts actually? (that’s where the record is set)

  77. p_m says:

    BTW he wins is not really showing how much pain he experienced :)

  78. BlĂ¥bär says:

    ALL DANES FAIL!

  79. Punkinho says:

    SUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!

  80. Anonymoose says:

    How do we know he’s trying to break them. He could be trying to hit as many coconuts as possible before breaking his hand.

  81. jake says:

    assuming that he was trying to break the coconuts, this is a great fail. i dont think he even manages to hit one straight on, let alone break it- htink about it, if he broke one youd see the milk coming out of it. i haev broken a coconut before, so i would know.

  82. eflnefwlnweflnefwlnefwkln says:

    Wow. What a fool.

  83. garry123 says:

    *masturbates*

  84. Seamus says:

    In Soviet Russia, coconuts break you!

    I can’t believe there are 491 comments and no one has made this joke yet.

  85. toby says:

    who reads these comments!?
    p.s. don’t think if you make a comment to this statement that i’ll read it

  86. RT says:

    Hand breaking WIN!

  87. Limey says:

    He should use de lime. Put de lime in the coconut, then you feel better.

  88. ORLY says:

    I’m pretty sure he can break them, however I don’t think coconuts are really the best thing to try and break with your hand. They’re round so that’s less surface area for your hand to hit successfully when you’re swinging it down really hard and fast like that. Plus there’s nothing to secure them so as soon as he gets a hit it just flies off to the side. And the rain wasn’t working in his favor, either. He should have just stuck to the usual wooden boards XD

  89. KitaeK27 says:

    They give out degrees too easily these days. It makes having a black belt a joke now, despite the intense training and discipline you’d have to go through normally in a regular school.

    Its understandable that a person couldn’t break a coconut, but to miss it and hit the stand? What?

  90. “Boards don’t hit back”…
    But coconuts, they just roll away!

  91. Page says:

    Ouch! I think he needs glasses…and probably a cast.

  92. 02wisted says:

    Coconut beats loser =]

  93. Burger says:

    Why do you hate us so much? :,(
    I dont hate you…

  94. nes! says:

    painful to watch

  95. norm says:

    I want to see him do it with lobsters. Yeah…live lobsters, that would be cool.

  96. petmousse says:

    And yet… You did read them.

    Also, you failed to relate your own post to the quote “topic of fail.”

    I could go on about your superfluous use of foul language and ironically
    misspelled name, but *yawwwwn* I have a few more asinine posts to make before I turn in :)

  97. Mila says:

    Haha, its on DR1. A danish channel. In the evening show, the most crappy program in DR’s history. lol
    If he actually broke the metal bar, then it would have been funnier x3

  98. Nimalzinho says:

    accuracy fail

  99. Anna says:

    haha it was so funny i saw this when it was live, and me and my brother just couldn’t stop laughing it was so funny hihi (i’m from denmark)

  100. Atu says:

    Don’t bust a nut.

  101. Danielfaa says:

    Hey, it’s from the danish program “aftenshowet”, “the evening show”.
    Denmark rules!!!

  102. Thomas says:

    Just a minor correction to the danes here.

    Actually I believe he’s not saying “Jeg slog til bjælken” (I hit the bar) but, speaking with an accent, probably from the southern Jutland, saying “Jeg troede det virkede” (I thought it worked).

    I’m not sure though.

  103. in flames we trust says:

    zomfg rofl ololol learn2aim nap xD

  104. emich says:

    lol the swedes should leave the kungfu to the asians

  105. gunnar says:

    I saw this on danish television, and I can that it isn’t the first time they bring a person like mr. karate here into the show.
    they even made fun of in the same show the next day.

  106. Brasil says:

    kkkk
    Dont, dont, dont, dont

  107. Chacarron says:

    That Made My Hand Hurt…. Then Again I Was Masturbating…

  108. Radu says:

    i dont get it
    why didnt he try this when nobody was watching to see if he was able to do it….

  109. another reason why white people and martial arts don’t mix…

  110. Jonas says:

    That man doesn’t deserve his gi and that black belt… -_-

  111. SquatnChowder says:

    Coconut win

  112. maxx says:

    LOL retard!!!!!!!!!! hand breaking win!!!
