It’s a scientific experiment. He’s fighting the fire the traditional method, in the background they’re going to try fighting fire with fire by burning more wood.
Dunno why, but your comment made me see this as a scene in wrestling: Armchair-firefighter relaxes ostentatiously after he beat down the other guy. But he’s not KO! He’s now rising, preparing to jump on armchair-firefighter.
I watched Airplane (Flying High) recently…ah…the Stayin’ Alive scene! And yes, I couldn’t help but get up and groooooove…

Around these chairs is a garden of calm lovingly created by DrB. Let the stress melt away with the warmth of the scotch.
People got annoyed with qwerty intentionally commenting on the wrong fail. He was always off by one. Eventually, I found it amusing.

Oh, and let’s not forget…*smooch*
*sneaky sneaky sneaky*
*SQUEEZE*
Oh, what’s that goldy-orange you just squished in your surprise?
I..errr..have to be somewhere else really fast.
*scoots off*
I see this as a win. There is a hell of a lot of force in those hoses, enough to knock you on your ass if you aren’t trained to handle it or are holding it alone. If he is sitting in a chair then he doesn’t need to worry about falling down and messing up his aim.
This is a fireman training. The one with the blue hat is the one to be trained (that’s why the others are carrying wood to the fire). And the chair is for saftey reasons. You ever had a firehose in your hands? When the water is fully opened, the hose is bahaving extremly indeterministic and it has an enourmous backstroke (–> that’s he reason why the chair is there, that he fells softly). In real fires the firehose usually is held by two fireman, if possible, to be more safe and precise.
OK back to basics. When adding a FAIL caption to a funny photo it is preferable that the picture contains some form of failure. In this example where is the failure? Is he failing to fight a fire?
Judging by the wide spray, i bet he is at some elementary school spraying kids during a walk-a-thon or something. Or maybe not, since he is in full uniform >.>
Ah, umm, thanks? ehem, as you can see, this is you and this is the failbog.
(points to a spot on the chart).
Then this happened.>click<
(Dick cheney holding shotgun pic)
It’s only a fail if he is peeing on the fire. Besides, I heard those things put out 100 lbs. of pressure, so he’s actually making it safer for everyone by using the chair as support.
Those who post fail, are not firefighters! This is a win, win, situation! Lieutenant Paramedic FF A. McInerney Haz Mat, Dive, TRT, Special Ops Specialist
A win for sure, the hoses are heavy, the gear is heavy, the work is hot and dangerous. Take a break when you can get it, get sleep when you can, and if someone offers sustenance, grab all you can fit in your pockets.
And if a recliner happens to be in front of a fire, well…
They’re right, it’s a training. The boards are because the house they’re training with was condemned by the city and this is one way for cities to tear down condemned housing without a lot of effort–two birds with one stone kinda thing. And don’t snark at me about ruining the funny, I see you guys already got plenty of that in. I love you too. I just know what this is because I used to live in a neighborhood where some of the housing was used that way. I’m out of there now, thank Ceiling Cat.
Bring him a beer!
Grab me one too!!!
This is not fail, this is WIN
It is for the firefighter.
It is for all couch potatoes.
That close to the fire, he’ll become a baked potato.
Every “sour creme” reply I can come up with has some homosexual connotation. I’ll better shut up.
Yeah, it’s butter not to go down that road.
Uh huh. Too loaded.
Not as much as his huge squirting hose.
Snot as much as his luge hurting clothes
and his fireman’s helmet needs a good polishing
surely this is a WIN!
its more like an attitude fail
I really hope that they are doing their job , it is really not googd if they are not
It’s a slippery slope when butter gets involved.
Just the way you like it, eh Mikey?
Don’t use butter when hanging drapes, you might slip onto the potato.
It happens to the holiest of us.
or the most forceful
Once it’s buttered you don’t have to be so forceful. It just all may go terribly wrong if you are butterfingered.
Never stand down the wind of a farting vicar with buttered fingers.
The butter goes on popcorn you silly banana… That’s not funny *self-fail*
okay, your comment made me XD that was funny! good one, dude!
tan
That’s right; save your strength for later.
lmao this is win
this is not win, this is sparta!
THIS IS SPARTA!!!
This is not fail, this is WIN [2]
we are in total agreement!
that’s more than half!
I think we are all in complete agreeance here.
I agree.
I also have much agreeableaciousnessocity.
most people work seated.
He happened to be blown into this position. I’m guessing to much pressure in his hose, what with his wife being away and all.
He’s got two hands. He’ll figure something out.
This is a win, all who doubt will be assimilated.
I totally agree
Certainly not a full fail, maye ahalf harted fail
Threesome spelling fail! Bad day for finger/keyboard teamwork
A half hearted fail not a complete one, and should go home and re-think his strategy
Agreed!
agreed
that was the first thing i said!
this is a win!!!!
a couch potato turned pretending to be a firefighter is a win?
DEFINITELY A WIN!!!
fail title.
win on the job!
TOTAL WIN!!
defensive rehab!
haha this one is genuis!!!!
win!!
He’s chilling
Man, what a lazy boy!
Name dropper
We should armoire firefighters like this.
He was putting out the settee.
That was very suite of him.
He’s being such a diva-n.
Hm, sofa so good you guys.
Unfortunately, I think the word play is on the recline.
It’s taken a back seat to the new fails.
Better than chaise-ing it all over the blog.
You’d have to be off your rocker to do that!
I’ve throne caution to the wind.
Just as long as you’re not barcalounger-ing up the wrong tree.
Hammy, you can be benched for that, be careful!
i don’t think he’s a real fireman.. show me his credenzas!
Who needs a fireman when you have an ottoman.
Who needs an Ottoman when you have an Empire?
APPARENTLY NONE OF YOU KNOW ANY FIREFIGHTERS…THATS A DREAM!!
I’m speechless.
And I’m not worthy.
u sck
I wonder why he is sitting there?
but lol anyway
He’s just cleaning tv screen.
The water pressure made him fall on the chair.
FIFTH!
Taze pl0x?
Is that armchair part of the firefighter-equipment?
They fold it so small that it fits in their backpocket.
Then they run up the burning stairs to the top floor, unfold it, and chill while putting out the fire.
It’s not too healthy if you sit too much in your job.
My moomin senses tell me a comment was supposed to be here.
Yes, moominish one. It was to draw me here so I could post this clicky. http://failblog.org/2009/02/20/firefighting-fail/#comment-292034

Are the firefighters in the background carrying wooden panels to the fire? That’s maybe why the guy is sitting: This goes on for hours!
It’s a scientific experiment. He’s fighting the fire the traditional method, in the background they’re going to try fighting fire with fire by burning more wood.
And the guy behind the chair is fighting the fire mentally.
Dunno why, but your comment made me see this as a scene in wrestling: Armchair-firefighter relaxes ostentatiously after he beat down the other guy. But he’s not KO! He’s now rising, preparing to jump on armchair-firefighter.
Union labor I suppose.
French Firefighters
They can’t be French; they’re not on strike.
Win!
Yep! we’re really busy fixing the mess you did in economy right now
Are you French? Because I’m British/Japanese, and we did not start that mess.

Thanks for that earworm. I’ll hear that all day…
*bows*
Revenge shall be mine. Just wait.
Excuse me, but did you not plant the most horrible earworm in our collective brain? I’m glad Mikey can get back at you just a little.
I did. But don’t be mad at me, consider me ill. It hurts me more then you!
Are you licensed to ill?
I do have to FIGHT..

See what happens? I take a vacation from the position I’m holding under you, and it drove you to drinking. I’ll be in bright and early tomorow.
Silly Christopher, tomorrow’s Saturday and by rule I always leave my worries behind on Saturdays. Just make sure you’re in on time Monday.

No mod points on FB. But I believe there are cookies to be had.

When did BondFan get so old? (sorry I know it’s off topic)
What are you talking about? I’m 15.
I see, we have to talk a little louder.
HE WAS ASKING WHEN YOU GOT THAT OLD.
I thought you turned 16 recently?
Two more years to pension!
That was hammy.
Oh, and…*SQUEEEEEEZE!*
It’s funny because the fireman is sitting in a comfy chair and relaxing.
Finally, he’s back!
Is Funnyboi the replacement for Captain Obvious?
I now consider him an institution.
I like him. He makes me chuckle.
I know. You’ve been a good lawyer for him, convinced me that he’s funny.
Yep, worked on me too, Mikey. I also find him funny now.
This makes me happy!
*HUGE SQUEEZES FOR FLUFFY AND ARTHUR*
I don’t find him funny…but I’ll tolerate him for your sake, Mikey.
People got annoyed with qwerty intentionally commenting on the wrong fail. He was always off by one. Eventually, I found it amusing.

Har har har har har!I see this as a win. There is a hell of a lot of force in those hoses, enough to knock you on your ass if you aren’t trained to handle it or are holding it alone. If he is sitting in a chair then he doesn’t need to worry about falling down and messing up his aim.
Damn right! Why risk falling over when you can fight that fire in comfort?
Thats the way its done. Why fall back and hurt yourself?
Sit down and chill out. :p
Win.Definitely.Beyond doubt.
Laid-Back firefighting is win.
Click my name for another lazy firefighter.
I know it doesn’t change a thing if he stands or sits – still, I would hate him if that was my house!
see its tradition
Firefighting WIN!

And if you’re hungry you could go to Little Caesar’s.
I see no fail here… all I see is WIN!
Definitely a WIN! Wish I could do that on the fireground…
His train of thought is a tad foggy for the job at hand.
thats funny
$20 says that ten more poeple say this is a win thinking themselves completely original.
25$ says that ten more people will think it’s funny to say “THIRTY-SIXTH!?!” or “PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!1″
Not to mention the ten more people saying “FIRST!!!!!!” and “FAKE!!!!!”.

No, I am.

blue balls and fake cocks yeah!
Was it that obvious?
The shadows! Just look at your shadows!
I’m just a shadow of my former self.
Bullshit! You look great!
Why thank you! *blushes*
wow, that’s the first faked photoshopped win i’ve ever lol’d while masturbating to….
$10 says one of my pet peeves is when people put the dollar sign after the numerical figure.
At least ten!
WIN for the firefighter, FAIL for whoever’s house is burning down in the background
EIGHTY-FIRST! This is an epic win!
Not only was that stupid, but you’re no-where near eighty first.

Well I’m sorry most caption makers aren’t making such an in-depth analysis.
He’s sitting so the chair can absorb some of the backdraft from that day’s mexican lunch

Homeless girl? I guess we now know whose house was burning.
you mean you get a burning sensation when you urinate?
It’s an act of kindness. He would piss on you if you were on fire.
I would do a sex wee on him
The sour cream to his baked couch potato?
vicar in his spare time?
and part-time curtain hanger when he’s not firefighting.
beef curtains and butt-turd potatoes, my fav
Sounds like a traditional Sunday.
*orders “the vicar’s special” and a pint*
Hahahahahahaha
That’s an obvious win! but photoshopped anyway
*suddenly feels tired… so very tired…*
jajajaj a really fail!!!
That’s so funny. Looks more like he’s watering the lawn than fighting any fires.
This is a win if i ever saw one.
ZZZzzzzz
You best not be sawing them protected logs Arthur.
*awakes*
Don’t worry. How could I possibly cross that fence?
Judging by the wide spray, i bet he is at some elementary school spraying kids during a walk-a-thon or something. Or maybe not, since he is in full uniform >.>
if he was in my town there’s no way that sexy fireman would still be able to sit down
He’d have a ring of fire to fight?
thats a win

Dragon, you saved my life! Thank you very much! If there’s anything I can do for you… whatever it is, just let me know.
Heheheh…I’ll remember that, Arthur!
THIS IS WIN
I hope Arthur doesn’t see this. I’m getting pretty fond of the guy and this would just kill him.
I’m still trying to resuscitate him from the last one…
Oop! Nevermind! He came back to life…whew!
He keeps going between this life and the afterlife. Every “This is a win” pushes him closer to the snowman zombie state.
This is an unqualified, unabashed EPIC WIN. The only FAIL I see is the person who thought it was a FAIL to begin with.
That is total Epic Win! no fail involved..unless u are the fire then it is failing
WTF WIN
Totally firefighting win.
So that’s where Lunchbox has been… .
Neener!!! You’re BACK! W00T!!!
Been back a while, just not often. Thanks.
A half hearted fail, he should go home and think about what he’s done, to do better next time
This is CLEARLY a win.
Coming from a firefighter, this is a huge win!
this is a definate win
Pff. WIN.
Total. Win.
Wrong, def epic win.
Hi,
He’s not laying down because it’s not handy
Have a great weekend,
José
this is a win!!!
this is how my department works!!
i think it should be a WIN
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a win to me
This is for sure a WIN! And he does need a beer and some chips!
As a professional slacker, I feel compelled to declare this a WIN. Also, all he needs is some booze, and therin lies the secret to happiness.
This isn’t a FAIL! It’s called ingenuity, adapting, and overcoming adversity!!
)
what do u mean fail? that’s a total WIN!! only awesome firemen fight fires in reclining chairs.
Win.
It is just me or does it look like he is skeeting? /o/!
Fail? Looks more like epic win!
funny but good!!!!
Hey boss, just chillaxing whilst I put out this here fire. Chips?
I dunno…. I’d say that’s clearly a win.
thats how a man does it!
It’s only a fail if he is peeing on the fire. Besides, I heard those things put out 100 lbs. of pressure, so he’s actually making it safer for everyone by using the chair as support.
THIS GUY IS MY HERO!!!!!
RECAPTION IT FOR WIN FFS
This is a WIN. How can a staged photo be a fail. I’m a firefighter and this is hilarious
Looks like a training house, so some guys were probably just having fun. This is definatly a WIN, though.

And don’t snark at me about ruining the funny, I see you guys already got plenty of that in. I love you too.
I just know what this is because I used to live in a neighborhood where some of the housing was used that way. I’m out of there now, thank Ceiling Cat.
wtf?
thats a win not a fail

Thats not a fail..thats part of their training so they can get use to the water pressure.
