    Poor sharkie, no one wants to play with him!

  3. scotteh says:

    I think Opus is just trying to get a new job as a tour guide.

    He was dressed for success.

    you, sir, are lame

  6. Dar says:

    Go Penguin! That must have been so cool to be on the boat!

  7. ethana2 says:

    $ emerge orca

  8. ROSIE says:

    They pu.pu.pu.picked up a penguin

  9. The Stranger With Candy says:

    PengWIN.

    See what they did there? Very clever :P

    • JasonK says:

      Oh, those friggin’ smart-asses!

      Geddit? Friggin as in freezin cuz it’s freezing in there…get it? No? Shucks.

      • ethana2 says:

        You spelled ‘gedit’ wrong.
        Also, gentoo-ers probably stick to emacs or something..

        • Aja says:

          Nothing wrong with ed(1).

          • BAReFOOt says:

            ed is for kids. Real experts use butterflies to change the athmosphere in a way, that the cosmic rays change the hard disk to what they want. *

            Of course there’s an emacs command for that.
            Unfortunately, the emacs operating system lacks a good editor. ;)

            * see xkcd.com

      • titaniumspork19 says:

        You pronounce friggin’ like the word fridge? I always thought it was pronounced with a hard g, like “big in”.

  10. ydobon says:

    PWND, you gay shark!

  11. Cee says:

    You know, it might have been pretty awesome to be on a boat with a penguin, but being on a boat with a penguin who’s being chased by killer whales might be less cool o.o Really, it would have been only too easy for those whales to capsize the boat and have both the penguin and the people for dinner.
    But damn, that’s a cute penguin…

    • HeyYou says:

      But damn, that’s a cute penguin…

      Word.

    • Stacey says:

      I agree.

      If I’d been in the boat that penguin would’ve been back in the water. Sorry penguin, food chains happen.

    • The abominable raccoon says:

      The boat was this close [---] to become a new failboat.

    • tokunbo says:

      okay?

      but then again, i do not understand how this did not click for the people in the boat.

      you hear them say “they know he’s in the boat”. um, okay. that means they also know it’s a pretty small boat, too. am missing the part where they think that the predators might just knock the boat over.

  12. Mekkis says:

    Rationality fail.

    Dumb = People in a Zodiac raft surrounded by a dozen orcas, when each orca is longer than the raft & outweighs its contents by perhaps ten times.

    I was wondering why the people weren’t freaked out the orcas might flip their Zodiac to get at the nummy nummy penguin and then discover the rubber boat had a meaty filling. Just because orcas are tamed at Sea World doesn’t make them tame in the wild. They’re smart, and they’re highly predatory.

    • BondFan4518 says:

      You were doing so well until ‘nummy nummy’.

    • Romanator says:

      The Orcas would be capable of capsizing the rubber dinghy, but for a tiny morsel?
      In fact, consider that there are maybe three big whales going after one small bird. These whales are also probably juveniles and are probably just playing with it. Such behavior has been reported.
      And in any case, there are only a handful of cases where Orcas have attacked humans and this only occurs in captivity and animal parks such as Sea World. In such cases Orcas did bite, but never ate or dismembered humans.
      The people really have no reason to be “freaked out”.

      • BAReFOOt says:

        Well. Orcas are also known to jump on the beach to catch their prey. A tasty meat-filled boat should be no problem.
        But I think, the clothing and plastic must really taste awful and be really unhealthy for them.

      • Marius says:

        Bumping an ice flow (floating object) in order to knock an animal off is not uncommon behavior for Orcas, juvenile or adult.

        Swimming around in water with predator and prey is a good way to become a statistic.

        If your boat was bumped and you fell into the water the threat of hypothermia would be something to consider.

        Is it okay to freak out now?

        • Odo Trip says:

          I was thinking the same thing about the bumping, and remembering all those videos I’ve seen of Orcas running up on beaches to catch penguins. I kept expecting one of them to try to “run up” onto the boat to get one of them and dumping the people in the water. I don’t think the Orcas would have munched on the people but, given the temperature of the water, and the clothing the people were wearing, they’d have about 3-5 minutes before they died of hypothermia. Within a minute or two, their motor functions would be seriously impacted, so if they couldn’t get back on the boat within a couple of minutes… SOL. Hell, the initial shock of going in the water could kill them. Lucky idiots, but idiots all the same.

      • Miesha says:

        The passengers of said tiny raft was also Norwegian, that might have something to say. Since we’re frikkin’ awesome regarding all things related to cold! *flex* Not as good as the Inuits of course, or the Samish people (indigenous to the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia), but we’re still quite awesome. *sage nod*

        Or maybe not… >_> People have believed we got polar bears wandering down our streets. We do not. Polar bears only exist on one Norwegian island, Svalbard. Oh ye, no point to this post ^_^

    • AROCK says:

      Yeah, everyone should definitely stay away from nature and live their lives in polluted cities out of fear of a wild whale, who is not a threat to humans (which you would know if you actually knew about orcas). They are actually MORE dangerous in captivity and in theme parks because it is an unnatural habitat for them. Ask yourself this, why do the whales not jump on ice bergs? It’s not RATIONAL for them to do so, so they hunt in the water. Rationality fail on you, my friend.

      They eat pengus. This one got away. Yay for him. This experience must have been awesome. I like Gentoos a lot =^_^=

  13. Em says:

    The video itself is a fail, it sucked so bad =_=

  14. Blue2thFairy says:

    Test post….WTH is going on!!!!

  15. Blue2thFairy says:

    Is anyone else having posting problems?

  16. flue says:

    dude i’d be scared to death if whales were swimming under my flail boat!!!! really that’s not even made of steel or anything!

    • BAReFOOt says:

      Then I should not tell you, that they can jump on the beach to catch their prey… or on the boat. ;)

      Mmmhhh… Humans in rubber boat with penguin seasoning…

  17. idlop says:

    PengWin
    WhaleFail

  18. Randolpho says:

    That was a very happy feat of evasion.

  19. Cam says:

    Why is this on FailBlog?

  20. dave says:

    Why has no one pointed out the real fail?

    Flip-flops in the arctic regions? in a boat? WTF!??!??!

    • Dude… flip-flops are a fail in any situation.

      The other fail is that penguins are found in Antarctic regions.

      • BAReFOOt says:

        Maybe you say that, because you have ugly feet, the people around you are fat and wear those cheap plastic things, and you just are a snob.
        Who knows. ;)

        I love my 70€ Italian flip-flops… Closest thing to barefoot when the ground is too hot.

        But I agree, that open shoes in that region are a total fail.

      • dave says:

        agreed on flip-flops always being a fail.

        and now, after a little research, also agreed on the arctic fail. I was using it to refer to the climate. perhaps a better term to use would have been polar… :-\

      • HeyYou says:

        Yes.. but Orcas are found in Antartica also.

        So thats not a penguinfail.

      • snokful says:

        I’d like to see you wear your closed shoes in my tropical city…. ha ha ha. Not only will people call you a prat, but you will be very uncomfortable. And annoyed when you have to fiddle with taking your shoes off all the time to enter houses.

        • I don’t have to worry about that. I live in a country where summer is too warm, yet everybody wants to go to tropical island.

          Besides, flip-flops are a fail for me personally, because I have nasty, fat, hairy feet. From the ankles down, I look like a Hobbit. It’s not a pretty sight.

    • titaniumspork19 says:

      It could be around the tip of Argentina or Chile, rather than the Antarctic. While still amazingly chilly, those areas don’t have quite the same subzero temperatures. And then there’s the factor of human stupidity, which I’ve observed can lead many young human males to such behavior as wearing shorts in a blizzard and flip-flops around icebergs.

    • Mikey D says:

      You also get penguins in fibreglass igloos near South Africa.

  21. Sean says:

    I was waiting for someone to offer the penguin food, only to have the penguin peck at it and pop the raft. The true PengWIN would have been for him to then quickly swim away, leaving the whales the choice between chasing one tiny, speedy bird, or munching on a raft-load of slow moving, screaming tourists in downy wrappers.

    Cute penguin. Cute, cute penguin! Cold water. Cold, cold water. Big teeth. Big, big teeth! Bad penguin. Bad, bad, evil penguin!

  22. porksword says:

    can we stop doing this W video thing?
    -it sucks and it only plays 5% of the time … after a looong load time.
    This is why jezus invented the YouTubes, to avoid the shitty video hostings.

  23. Cloral says:

    The video wasn’t that funny, except for the zany background music. It reminds me of the fail of the police dog that wouldn’t chase the bad guy. It wasn’t very funny, except for the totally random loony tunes music in the background.

  24. Phil says:

    WHALE FAIL!!! Poor whales didn’t get their dinner.

  25. YES! Eighty-eighth comment! WOOO!

  26. Phil S says:

    now, I’m not necessarily saying that I would shove the penguin off the edge of the boat were I in such a situation, but if one of the zodiac’s occupants were to do such a thing, it would not only be justifiable considering the dynamics of the aforementioned survival-priority scenario, but it would provide viewers of this video with some pretty crunchy epic lulz for their viewing pleasure. just saying…

  27. lolx00rz says:

    This video fails for fanboy linux dorks

    • BAReFOOt says:

      You mean, they are more dorky than a guy who’s calling himself “lolx00rz” and trolls on FAILblog, because he has nothing better to do? ;)

  28. BAReFOOt says:

    Stupid Orcas! Normally, Orcas can easily jump on the beach, eating the escaping prey. Same thing with that rubber boat.

    Imaging such a giant beast, jumping over 3 meters in the air, and landing – mouth first – on that boat. It would not only eat the penguin, but also the penguin protecting humans.

    I would be pretty scared, knowing that they *know* there is a nutshell full of food swimming right above them.

  29. wolfgangmunzerl2 says:

    Everything that was possible to say about this fail had been said, so no smart-witted comment from me

  30. Douny says:

    Is it really a fail?

  31. Darkraynos says:

    Why is it that no one cares to make a comment that pertains to the post?

  32. LightDisciple says:

    I’m not sure really what kind of ‘win’ this video is. I was waiting for the penguin to get eaten, or try and get eaten and get away. It would have been much more interesting. I just like the guy that says ‘down in front’.

    • A. Non says:

      I guess you missed the bit (you know, the entire video) where the whales are chasing the penguin and the penguin escapes by chillin’ in the boat?

  33. Petruza says:

    Yeah! A bunch of orcas totally PWNED by the penguin!
    Pengwin FTW!

  34. Jack says:

    HOLY SHIT WHY WAS THE FIRST COMMENT NOT “ORCA FAILS”

  35. WTF! says:

    I love how the Dutch a-holes in the boat think this is so funny. They are seconds away from the whales dominating their rubber inflatable and meeting their ends in an icy sea, the first victims of a whale related murder since Ahab, but that penguin is just sooo cute!! I would call this a Darwinism Fail. They should have died and taken their horrible Dutch genes out of the collective pool.

  36. Prplcheez says:

    That is one seriously epic penguin.

  37. moster boon says:

    First!

  38. DR says:

    Can you say “Ha ha bitches?”

  39. gimpykat says:

    That was awesome! Not every day you see a bad-ass penguin pull a move like that.

  40. moster boon says:

    I see that all da time crook styles mad!

  41. lemieux says:

    They’re all fuckin’ domesticated.

  42. Nils Olav says:

    Colonel in Chief Sir Nils Olav demands respect in his environment!

  43. Failerella says:

    the fail was in the horribly annoying theme music. Unless of course it was intended to be horribly annoying, then, win.

  44. toribug says:

    hehe
    those whales FAIL’d

  45. Jamie says:

    PengWIN

    or

    Whale Fail?

  46. Inno says:

    It’s a PengWIN, but a whale fail.

    xD

    Now I feel like a dork.

  47. Selkhit says:

    Actually I kept waiting for the Killer Whale to jump in the boat after the penguin. :D

  48. sddsdkljkljkjl; says:

    oh, mein gott!

    ich spreche kein englisch.

  49. BondFan4518 says:

    Have the Jaws theme tune in your head.
    Now watch that video again.

  50. SlowPoke says:

    I’m moving to Broomrape.

  51. MC2000 says:

    great video :)

  52. Tom says:

    hahaha, those orcas are PISSED

  53. BigJim says:

    I assume the fail was the really awful music, right?

  54. oryantezuka says:

    I can’t believe there’s someone wearing flip flops in the boat….

  55. Llamacorn says:

    It says PengWIN doesn’t it? ^_^ I kinda like the music. or at least the beginning. The end gets slightly annoying, but this is comming from a huge fan of charlie the unicorn, so it probably doesn’t mean much. In my opinion, it’s the orca’s fail, if there is one. (I also agree that those people should have freaked out, I was just waiting for an all-of-the-sudden whomp out of nowhere, and then the view from the camera sinking, aimed at a bloody cloud full of people and penguin bits.)

  56. SlowPoke says:

    I miss the crew…

  57. CHoppe says:

    how did those people keep from giving that adorable little ‘guin a cuddle. he was too flipping cute

  58. Michael Evans says:

    um…this seems like the opposite of a fail…why isn’t it on, like, winblog? It’s a cool video, but why is it here?

  59. jibobibbity says:

    Oh muh gawd, dids yous guys sees daht lazt episode of he-man masters of the universe?! it wus like freakin’ spoon dibblesby! dair wus no way skeletor cud haved sorvived thatm! i use my foreskin has a parasail! btw, wut wus daht ballpoint penquin video abouts? mo money?! smiley face :)

  60. `elli says:

    That penguin just pwnd those whales so hard. P:

  61. kirbypink says:

    This is such a cool video. I also love that video of the hero highway dog in Chile (on Yahoo) and the boar and lion video on this site. I guess I just like animal videos in general. I really thought that the orcas were going to tip that raft. Thank God for happy endings! :)

  62. emily says:

    props on the fluke joke

  63. Zurack says:

    PengWIN? More like Whafail!

  64. Christian says:

    You know what would’ve been great? had the penguin been a bloodthirsty carnivore and he’d had those people for lunch. The whole time the innocent whales were fighting to destroy the evil penguin.

  65. yeah says:

    when the pengWIN got in the boat, the killer whales were like “OH FUCK IT!” XD hahaha

  66. aus_james says:

    would have been good to see the whales jump over the boat, snatch the penguin in the air, and swim away like the movie free willy!
    oh and snap one of those boaters heads off as well!

  67. JWHardcastle says:

    Why was the first comment not “Whale Fail?”

  68. chris says:

    how is this fail?

  69. Tony Wilkes says:

    Those sharks looked amazing – and that is one lucky sea lion!

  70. halleberry22 says:

    Everything that was possible to say about this fail had been said, so no smart-witted comment from me

  71. abumaia says:

    this might be the set up of a new joke: How many orcas does it take to catch a penguin?

  72. Sam B says:

    Much as I love dolphins… that penguin is far too awesome!

    The orca’s ‘expression’ when he looked at the peng on the boat. WIN.

  73. All Fail says:

    You guys fail more than the video; wild orcas don’t attack humans. ;D

  74. Chicken Spank says:

    NORWEGIAN WIN

  75. disgusted says:

    I tried to read the comments thinking SOMEONE would have an intelligent thing to say, but you are all a bunch of little school girls texting each other for popularity. I probably show my age, but my God is this the generation that will inherit the Earth?!

  76. Steven Seagal says:

    This blog has some funny stuff, but the comment section is probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen. Get some comment moderation, so people don’t have to dig through all the idiots.

  77. LEILA says:

    Aw what a sweet penguin. Wasn’t his time. :) I love that he made it.

  78. win says:

    At 1:15 –> “They know. They know he’s in the boat.”

    While this is an (epic) Self Preservation Win by the penguin, the humans’ failure to eject the penguin at this point represents a Self Preservation Fail of potentially epic proportion.

  79. Tiaz says:

    And no one even pointed out that they speak norwegian.

  80. crysta says:

    PengWIN rules the best on Failblog so far!

  81. ThePengwin says:

    haha! that is coincidently my alias :D

  82. macgoo1 says:

    doesn’t anybody care to actually comment on the subject of the video??? this pengquin was brilliant in avoiding the orcas; a totally brilliant move on his part and i’m totally jealous of the person who got to be there and get this on tape.

    go penguin!!!

  83. whaleman1 says:

    I thought whale-fish don’t eat pelicans?

  84. PsychM says:

    So the orca’s represent Microsoft, and the penguin iz Tux?

  85. Edward says:

    LOL SO CUTE ZOMG <3

  86. Tom says:

    Happy Feet anyone….and whats with people making comments with no pertinence to the video?

  87. quadqueen93 says:

    wooah! haha, was the whales chasing the penguin! ? aww soo cute!! ahh!

  88. da-kill says:

    the whales are windows, and the penguin is linux.

  89. bryansgirl says:

    and penguin says “hay gaiz, gives me ried back to shoor?”

  90. kermit79 says:

    What would be really awesome is if the people in the boat ate the penguin.

  91. Shade Tail says:

    What idiot chose the hideous music for this video?

  92. RevWaldo says:

    “Hey mister can we have our ball back?”

  93. Natasha says:

    Penguin see, penguin do.

  94. hotfuzz459 says:

  96. soosie says:

  97. Paul says:

    I would have kept that penguin, badass pet.

  98. C says:

    Awwww cute penguin <3 I’m not sure whether he’s just playing around or actually escaping death. At least I’m glad he’s okay in the end and not (quite) afraid of human? xD

  99. Thats a good way to kill everyone in the boat……i’d like throw him twards the shore and be like yeah go to that big solid land mass no this pfd

  100. Neorini says:

    they were considering throwing that Penguin back in!

  101. Jaded-E says:

    Smartest Penguin Ever!

  102. flabes says:

    most awesome penguin ever.. end of discussion

  103. Nath says:

  105. Psycho-Tic says:

    That peguin’s going to need therapy after that

  106. Sarah says:

    Can someone please tell me the name of that song? I LOVE IT!!! :D :D :D

  107. Frankie says:

    That was the biggest waste of 2 minutes ever. Whats the fail?

  108. The Winner says:
