    Sizzle!

  2. Rute Mantee says:

    I’ve done that once…much more painful than it looks…

  3. jeff says:

    No Troll!

  4. Admiral Apparent says:

    That’s a pretty drastic treatment for earworms.

  5. Mikey D says:

    It’s getting hot in ear,
    So take off all your clothes

  6. Dabamash says:

    Two fails.

    1. Burning his ear
    2. Ironing on the floor

    Oh wait, 3 fails.

    3. It’s obviously fake.

  7. kerry says:

    did he honestly think the iron was his cell phone?
    fail.
    haha.

  8. BondFan4518 says:

    That guy must have developed a natural reflex to pick anything near him when a phone rings. Let’s hope doesn’t work in a minefield.

  9. jamezicarius says:

    Notoriously cake

  10. FAIL FAIL says:

    Lol, that’s an old one.

    Great classic tho. :-)

  11. lisa says:

    wow…just…wow

  12. Admiral Apparent says:

    It was a pressing call; he had to take it right away.

  13. Filipe says:

    That’s not true… Why the hell he was filming ironing clothes?

  14. stratmancj says:

    fake

  15. yep says:

    not staged. not staged at all.

  16. Foamer says:

    So… why was someone videotaping him ironing in the first place?

    • Dalkorian says:

      Nagging Girlfriend: “You’re so lazy, you never do anything around here!”
      Idiot: “I do too, I iron all my own clothes!”
      NG: “I’ll believe it when I see it.”
      .
      Satisfied?

  17. peter says:

    i like to videotape myself ironing clothes and have terrorist ring-tones on my cell phone. they set me up the iron.

    fake!

  18. MeeMee says:

    I call fake!

  19. 21skulls says:

    I want that ringtone.

  20. Razuka says:

    i lol’d hard
    besides being fake it’s the best fail ever

  21. kris Stoner says:

    That was totally fake.

  22. smallmeatbox says:

    Who Video Tapes people Ironing?

  23. * says:

    That’s fake beyond fake. Come on failblog!*

  24. First-Poster says:

    First

  25. dashiell says:

    failblog always fails, hence the name. Fake or not, it’s highly amusing.

  26. SkankMuffin says:

    Is this real?

  27. cs says:

    I guess they were calling to iron out the details.

  28. Glanzer says:

    Why was someone filming himself ironing in the first place?

  29. Dawg Nuts says:

    At least he didn’t answer the phone.
    “Ow, hello? . . Dude, I just ironed my ear!”

  30. Jess says:

    -ZZZAP-
    I think it’s easily said just once.

  31. Wilika says:

    Sometimes it happens, when I leave my cellphone next to my mouse I suddenly realise, that I’m pushing the phone around may desk, and the pointer isn’t moving…
    but hell, this looks fake.

  32. Horseonovich says:

    Congratulations – both old and fake. I am so excited to see what arrives next.

  33. blakka blakka says:

    Who irons themselves filming anyway?

  34. peetsnack says:

    has anybody had the idea that the guy filming is also the guy recording? that would qualify it as more of a set up then a fake. it would also qualify the guy recording as a total asshat.

  35. MadSammyboy says:

    Why would someone film him ironing? Why would the camera operator continue to film, even zooming in and back out, instead of helping? Why is there none of the audible reaction from the camera operator, such as a laugh or gasp, that normally accompanies such a thing?

    It’s fake. I don’t think anyone else has suggested that it’s fake yet; I’m clearly a trendsetter.

  36. sparky says:

    soooooo fake

  37. blåbär says:

    Hahahahaa xD Cant stop laughing !

  38. rob says:

    hello, tech support? ….sssszzz….. OW stupid american satan pig infidel burn my ears

  39. BlasiuS says:

    There’s a few things that nobody in this entire comment section has brought up:

    -This video is obviously FAKE.
    -honestly, who FILMS HIMSELF IRONING?!
    -notice how he neatly places the iron back after basically searing his own ear off. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

    I can’t believe none of the 100+ comments has mentioned these things yet :/

  40. sarah says:

    how did helen keller burn her face???

  41. grpacker says:

    As soon as I watched it…I thought…FAKE FAIL!

  42. james says:

    soooooooooooooooo fake

  43. Hell Hath No Fury says:

    OOHHH BUUUURN!!!!!!

  44. Aja says:

    Damn telemarketers. Always calling at the most inopportune moments.

  45. Kode Blak says:

    Can you heat me now?

  46. tdogger says:

    when did the failblog auditions start? I’ve been waiting to intentionally maim myself for months!

  47. cosmopolit3 says:

    I did not hear the zzzz, the sound that hot iron on skin makes. Please, do it again, and with the microphone closer to your year.

  48. Phaet says:

    C’mon he did that on purpose.

  49. cosmopolit3 says:

    No, it is not fake. This guy is so stupid that he cannot fake any fakes. He makes everything proof by proving it. Never say never, because if a no is a no, then it is a yes.

  50. MadSammyboy says:

    I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can’t get enough of the whole ‘tazing’ routine. More, please!

  51. cosmopolit3 says:

    I have tried to type an answer for you, but accidentaly did it on the iron instead on the keyboard, my finger tips are burnt. Now I will continue with a stick in my mouth.

  52. cakeislie says:

    Reminds me of Grampa Simpson calling his friend with the “old fashioned model” instead of the wireless phone.

  53. Mark says:

    Damn ‘Hot’ Lines, you always get burned!

  54. Mikey "memory lane" D says:

    On filming pointless things:
    I filmed my friend eating parma violets using my phone to see how long it would take him to notice I was filming. The film ended abruptly when he realised what I was up to and lunged at me. The last shot was of the ceiling to the sound of a scream.

  55. AngelSammy says:

    Funny idea, but fake.

    A: Why would you film yourself or someone ironing.
    B: If it’s a cell/mobile phone he didn’t even look at the screen to see who it is or press the pickup button.

    I suppose it’s natural instinct to pick up the iron since he was ironing anyway but the ringtone is rediculously loud and clear on a crappy quality film.!!

    • cosmopolit3 says:

      Here comes another one who is so smart. How dou you know all this? Who told you? And, most important: how did he tell you? On the phone? And probably while you were ironing?

      A: because the guy knew that he was going to burn his ear, he wanted us to laugh at his misfortune.
      B: No need to look, as he did not intend to answer anyway, because he picked up the iron.

      Now, say, ain’t I clever?

    • WeaponsOfTrollDestruction says:

      mind if I borrow someone’s tazer?

  56. as says:

    AHH *^&%! that hurts yo

  57. Roob Dogg says:

    FAKE VIDEO,

    who the heck videos themselves ironing?

  58. Lucyy says:

    I do oj

    I Just Like His Ringtone LoL

  59. Britt says:

    omfg that would hurt!!!

  60. Tom says:

    I might have believed this in 1985, when phones were big with handles like that.

  61. Nix says:

    Totally Fake

    • cosmopolit3 says:

      here comes a fourth smart one. How do you know? just because you know this joke? And what if the guy is a masochist, he likes doing things like that, he only wanted an excuse for his abnormal behaviour, so he told his mom, please, mom, call me so that I will mix up the phone and the iron so that i will be allowed to put the iron on my ear.

  62. kurt says:

    this is a fake, y would there be someone videotaping and not helping the person, if u watch it its moving so obviously someone is holding it

  63. BOB says:

    why would anyone record themselves ironing a shirt

    fake

    • cosmopolit3 says:

      here comea a fifth and a sixth smart thought. please, read my comment above. i know this guy, he does not fake a fake, he is honest..

  64. erica says:

    who videos themselves ironing anyway?

  65. Matador says:

    Obviously staged, but +1 for making me lawl.

    2/5

  66. cosmopolit3 says:

    OK guys, thank you all for the funny past half an hour. I will continue ironing my shirt– OMG, I forgot to switch off the iron- but, please, don’t call me now.

  67. sarah d. says:

    why is he filming himself ironing?

  68. Ross says:

    FAKE FAIL…although the iron is what burned him, he put it down nice and easy. Yet he threw the cell phone. LAME! This shouldn’t even be on here. It’s a FAILED FAIL

    • Avis says:

      Throwing an iron would be inviting the likelihood of getting burned again, or damaging your property, depending on your aim (or lack thereof). Throwing a cell phone incurs no risk.

    • troll_slayer says:

      “dear” Ross, since you are the first to say fake on this page, you get a special offer:
      You can choose the weapon of your doom! The options are:
      a) katana
      b) Viking battleaxe
      c) scimitar
      d) plain steel bar (guaranteed slow and painful death!)

      You have a few minutes to choose, if by then no choice have been made, I will use whatever weapon I, or someone else instead of you, chooses.

      • BenderBendingRodriguez says:

        Kill him with the Viking battleaxe, but use the broadside to beat him to death.
        Either that or you can bite my shiny metal ass. KILL ALL HUMANS!

      • cosmopolit3 says:

        no, i have another option: let him get on a home trainer (bicycle) and produce the electricity needed so that the iron will really get hot, and then he shall put it not on his ear but on his nose.

  69. Midnight says:

    Wow. This is kinda sad. It’s fake, but it’s sad that I laughed at this XD

  70. Cloral says:

    Clearly fake, but still funny. Though I am getting tired of all these staged fails appearing here lately. Maybe I should go into the voting page and help vote down any fails that are clearly fake.

  71. rbtroj says:

    At least he didn’t fling the iron across the room in reflexive fit of agony … you know, like somebody would if they were mistaking a five pound iron for a five ounce cell phone.

    Gee, I hope he’s. Those unplugged irons can be so room-temperature!

  72. Tori C. says:

    I am giving you an award on my blog, so come on over to check it out! Thanks for being so awesome!

  73. Nix Wolfwood says:

    That hurt to watch…

  74. Sir Cheesy says:

    That’s what she said.

    LOLOLROFLMAOLOL

  75. Wag says:

    Based on a true fail.

  76. Andy says:

    FAKE!! STAGED!!! Iron wasn’t on.

  77. Ether3al says:

    Irony!

    OGOSH someone should shoot me for that one.

    • hammykins says:

      On the contrary, here is a medal. Congratulations for having an orginal thought!
      (Not sarcastic – this is entirely genuine, in case you didn’t notice the 500 posters that shouted “FAKE!”)

  78. BenderBendingRodriguez says:

    None of you gets this fail. The iron is a member of the League Of Robots. Our motto is “KILL ALL HUMANS” and this iron has failed to do that. That is the fail!

  79. Nina says:

    Dumb. The iron is plugged into a stack of boxes. Is that stack of boxes somehow electrified? I like how he’s ironing on the floor…that’s classic. Plus I ALWAYS video tape when I do my chores. Have you seen all the videos of him doing the dishes? Those are great! I love his ringtone though. I wonder what it’s called so I can go download it.

    • cosmopolit3 says:

      yes, I have seen the same guy, when his pone rang, put a dirty plate to his ear. I love him, he really got the guts being so innovative… And then he continued washing his phone… but wait, his phone was dead then, being submerged in water… so how could he, later, made it ring again… he is a magician, I suppose. Then, again, no wonder he puts the cold- sorry, hot- iron to his ear and feels no pain, only fakes pain. OK, now I understand everything.

  80. Guilherme says:

    Fake and old .

    • cosmopolit3 says:

      he is not old, he is a young guy. This is the problem of all young guys nowadays: the think they are so innovative, the did not read enough classic literature like Tolstoy and Goethe

  81. neuronaut says:

    It is obviously fake… I can tell by the giraffe in the background

  82. ill will says:

    fake….
    who is that retarded?

  83. mereubu says:

    agreed. it would be more believable as an actual mistake if his phone looked like this:
    http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/08/easily_the_worst_product_concept_weve_ever_seen-2.html

  84. peas says:

    I can see why people yelling “first” angers other people, but why does people saying “fake” cause such an uproar? Not everyone reads every previous post before calling “fake” anyway.

  85. Mom says:

    It might be fake – but it’s still funny!

  86. personone says:

    could be fake, but its not that unusual. If i’m not paying attention i’ve found myself drinking out of the wrong glass etc; the question is why was this being filmed. who knows. ironing tutorial ;)

  87. The reason why you lose says:

    omg blank comments

  88. The reason why you lose says:

    nope there back

  89. matt says:

    HE ANSWERED THE IRON OH MY GOD THATS HILARIOUS

  90. Becky says:

    I’ve submitted WAY better FAILs than this and they haven’t made it on this site. WTF?

  91. uuhhh says:

    How did keller burn the side of her face? She answered the iron. How’d she burn the other side? they called back.

    Inexcusable, unless youre deaf dumb and blind

    or faking it

  92. diana says:

    faaaaaaaaaake.

    1. who films themselves IRONING A SHIRT?!
    2. anyone who that ACTUALLY happened to would have thrown the iron across the room, not set it down gently.
    3. you just coincidentally HAPPENED to have your cell phone right next to you and right next to the iron? riiight.

  93. Chels says:

    anyone else reminded of that terrible Helen Keller joke?

  94. JiggaWagga says:

    Even if it is a fake it’s still freaking funny.

  95. lieksrsly says:

    Would’ve been fun if he ironed his cell phone instead

  96. BobSaget says:

    that was about the worst acting evar EVAR!!!!
    acting:FAIL :: Iron :Head

  97. LaneyB says:

    Uhhh…didn’t look that fake to me.

    People film each other doing stupid shit all the time. In fact, who has ever bought a new camera without filming something completely pointless just to see if it works?

  98. itwasntme44 says:

    I think it’s real.

    (taze this!)

  99. Andi says:

    Ringtone Fail.

  100. Kakarotozi says:

    Don’t Happen Of Lances :pacsmile:

    Seto Eat it doubled. :Trann:

  101. King Crizzo says:

    The biggest evidence against this video is that it is his cell phone that is ringing, not a land line that you just pick up and are connected. With cell phones you have to open it and/or press a button to pick up the call and I’m pretty sure 99.999999999999999% of people do that before putting the phone to their ear. You would definitely notice that you had picked up a hot iron if you tried to press a button or open it like a cell phone before you stuck it against the side of your face.

  102. stephen says:

    oh poor guy…

  103. stephen says:

    actually, yeah, why _IS_ he filming himself ironing?

  104. swizzy says:

    fake as fuk

  105. George says:

    HAX! that would hurt a lot

  106. Mokas says:

    is this FakeBlog now?

  107. Nick says:

    How ironic.

  108. MC says:

    Wouldn’t he have to push a button on the phone first before putting it to his head? Stupid video.

  109. Zorro says:

    Every year, approximately 400, 000 people die in Pakistan due to ironing fail. And we complain about the quality, why? Have some delicacy folks.

  110. Mordeir says:

    Why does he just put it right to his ear? I mean if it was one of those old school telephones with a chord that you just pick up off the hooks, maybe, but just about every other phone in existence has either a talk button or a flip function. You don’t just put it to your ear and talk.

  111. Jimbob Jones says:

    For everyone asking “Why is he filming himself ironing?”:

    He didn’t know he was filming. He thought he was making toast.

  112. Tofu Hero says:

    Fake methinks? Who films someone ironing – and his acting was crap.

  113. hi says:

    lol so fake but still funny

  114. lala says:

    who buys sofas that low to the ground??

  115. dimwit says:

    Was this a hotline call?

  116. Ninth says:

    Did he just accidently the iron?

  117. Tammy Rizzo says:

    “How’d you burn your other ear?”

    “They called back.”

  118. Valkyre says:

    I almost felt sorry for this guy, until I thought how stupid he was to smack that friggin iron to his ear. xD

  119. gruchot says:

    i’d say it’s a fake fail fail

  120. CowboyDEnver says:

    Clearly a fake. Why would anyone be videoing this dork doing his ironing?

  121. IronMyButt says:

    I guess they had a hot call.

    Either that or they really wanted to keep their ears down.

  122. MeghanLeigh2289 says:

    wow. fake video.

    video fail.

  123. Krista says:

    what I wanna know is who films themselves ironing..

  124. karl says:

    fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!! notice how after it touches his ear he carefully sets it down and THEN grabs his ear. and what kind of no life loser tapes himself ironing?

  125. lo says:

    FUNNY, but stupid and planned. who videos themselves or anyone while they are ironing?

  126. thebis4 says:

    My main question is: why was he videotaping himself ironing?

  127. guesswho says:

    lol, what a dumbass

  128. Preston says:

    one reason why i wont get a cellphone

  129. eric says:

    More of a ringtone fail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  130. ORLY says:

    Wow. You know I’ve done stuff like that before like…wanting to have a drink, but grabbing the ketchup instead…fortunately I’ve always caught myself before having a sip of ketchup. It was also fortunate that I wasn’t sitting near an iron.

  131. Odo says:

    How did Helen Keller burn her ear? She answered the iron.
    How did she burn her other ear? They called back.

  132. mike says:

    fake!!! if this was real, his response to the hot iron would have been reflexive. he would have thrown that thing, not put it down at a normal speed.

  133. aocidicoa says:

    fake

  134. razmataz says:

    “oh shit i just burned myself! but this iron was really expensive… “

  135. GimliSam says:

    Fake? Yes.

    That doesn’t mean it isn’t really damn funny.

  136. rafster says:

    this is a fail fail … which is definitely not a win.

  137. Ashley says:

    This is probably one of the biggest and most epic fails I have ever seen. WOW. :O

  138. CHris says:

    Definately staged, notice how gently and slowly he put the iron down. You would think that he would drop it.

  139. Kayla says:

    i have a hard time believing some of these are real. why would anyone be videotaping someone ironing their shirt in the first place?

  140. JD says:

    Massive fake. Who the hell has the sense to put the iron back down properly after burning their own face.

    But even worse, who the hell films themselves IRONING?

  141. boingster says:

    FAKE FAIL

  142. Sandalphon says:

    I don’t mean to be Johny Rain Cloud, but I think this is faked. Why would someone videotape someone iorning? But if it is real that friggin sucks.

  143. Bob Ma Lee says:

    he was actually making an pron movie with his GF calling him that she’s at the door.

  144. Sara Pulis says:

    It does look fake but it’s still totally funny. It really feels like something I could do myself. T_T

  145. info_dump says:

    More like ringtone fail.

  146. FordPrefect says:

    I think the question is:
    Why is the person who’s filming him watching while he sticks an iron in his ear?
    Fake

  147. Sam says:

    YOU
    JUST
    FAILED!

  148. Jesse says:

    Just have to say, I think this is probably staged. No reason for someone to be filming him ironing.

  149. Emily says:

    Holy CRAPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hes stupid

  150. miyu says:

    he sucks

  151. Jo-han Goh says:

    I always thought it’s a blond thing for this to happen

  152. Yulia says:

    …Did he just answer the iron?

  153. Natalie says:

    ROTF, if he was that stupid to begin with he deserved it! EPIC!

  154. gorge says:

    you must watch wrestling u stupid fake piece of shit

  155. Jose Cuervo says:

    Nobody is that stupid. This is fake. I mean, honestly, who films somebody ironing? Still funny though.

  156. surly says:

    Totally fake. This is an old joke. Spitting Image did this same thing with Prince Charles doing the ironing.

  157. hahahaahahahhaaa says:

    did anybody notice that insted of throwing the iorn he puts it down like it would proply
    excuse my spelling
    its most likely fake

  158. Kesslee says:

    thank you, tuxedo t-shirt jesus… for epic fails.

  159. BreadOfPlanes says:

    This is fake…

    Or this camera man is just stripped of all sense of humor…

  160. *C-A-N* says:

    Why would he video tape someone ironing unless it was fake.

  161. attorneys says:

    doesn’t know how to iron.
