  1. c0rt3z says:

    Bring him a beer!

  2. Alastair27 says:

    He’s chilling ;)

  3. Demonkissesxox says:

    I wonder why he is sitting there?
    but lol anyway

  4. Nobody says:

    FIFTH!

  5. Arthur Eld says:

    Is that armchair part of the firefighter-equipment?

  6. uByte says:

    Standard issue armchair, only for the captin

  7. cicili says:

    Blue Hat special.

  8. Arthur Eld says:

    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!

    • Mikey D says:

      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.

      • fluffy the fish says:

        And the guy behind the chair is fighting the fire mentally.

        • Arthur Eld says:

          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.

  9. chez says:

    Union labor I suppose.

  10. Svenno says:

    FIRST!

  11. Funnyboi says:

    It’s funny because the fireman is sitting in a comfy chair and relaxing.

  12. Cecona says:

    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.

  13. Django says:

    Win.Definitely.Beyond doubt.

  14. Cloud says:

    Laid-Back firefighting is win.

  15. BondFan4518 says:

    Click my name for another lazy firefighter.

  16. Zapp says:

    Firefighting WIN!

  17. kolli says:

    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.

  18. Man-on-a-mission says:

    Thirty First!

  19. DaveO says:

    I see no fail here… all I see is WIN!

  20. EMTSTumpy says:

    Definitely a WIN! Wish I could do that on the fireground…

  21. slvgirl1976 says:

    thats funny

  22. jake3 says:

    $20 says that ten more poeple say this is a win thinking themselves completely original.

  23. ds says:

    WIN for the firefighter, FAIL for whoever’s house is burning down in the background

  24. Anto says:

    EIGHTY-FIRST! This is an epic win!

  25. aye says:

    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?

  26. Foghat says:

    He’s sitting so the chair can absorb some of the backdraft from that day’s mexican lunch

  27. BondFan4518 says:

    …Reports are coming in that Boggy, the FAIL BOG monster, has devoured several comments in the last few minutes.

    • BOGGY the FailBOG Monster (owned by SB) says:

      BOGGY not eat! BOGGY maked comments NOT EATS!

      Bad BLOGGY Monster Ate thems!

      BLOGGY libs in Internets NOt in FailBOG!
      You fusses at BLOGGY & BEN NOT BOGGY!

  28. homelessgirl says:

    wow dont even know what to say lol

  29. grannycatflap says:

    you mean you get a burning sensation when you urinate?

  30. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

    That’s an obvious win! but photoshopped anyway

  31. jajajaj a really fail!!!

  32. djnforce9 says:

    That’s so funny. Looks more like he’s watering the lawn than fighting any fires.

  33. matt says:

    This is a win if i ever saw one.

  34. Clay says:

    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 >.>

  35. grannycatflap says:

    if he was in my town there’s no way that sexy fireman would still be able to sit down

  36. matt says:

    thats a win

  37. winwin says:

    def a win

  38. dwbmb says:

    THIS IS WIN

  39. munch says:

    This is an unqualified, unabashed EPIC WIN. The only FAIL I see is the person who thought it was a FAIL to begin with.

  40. jeff says:

    That is total Epic Win! no fail involved..unless u are the fire then it is failing

  41. puff says:

    WTF WIN

  42. hrise1841 says:

    Totally firefighting win.

  43. So that’s where Lunchbox has been… .

  44. Pat Whitaker says:

    A half hearted fail, he should go home and think about what he’s done, to do better next time

  45. Karen says:

    This is CLEARLY a win.

  46. John Oxenfeld says:

    Coming from a firefighter, this is a huge win!

  47. Zach to the MAck (s) says:

    this is a definate win

  48. Forge says:

    Pff. WIN.

  49. Jefedor says:

  50. José says:

    He’s not laying down because it’s not handy :-)

    Have a great weekend,

    José

  51. TL says:

    this is a win!!!

  52. jonnymoon5 says:

    this is how my department works!!

  53. Koolboy says:

    i think it should be a WIN :D

  54. DADDY says:

    FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. dumbbuff says:

    Looks like a win to me

  56. This is for sure a WIN! And he does need a beer and some chips!

  57. Tranum says:

    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.

  58. Jock says:

    This isn’t a FAIL! It’s called ingenuity, adapting, and overcoming adversity!! :-) )

  59. Fshy says:

    what do u mean fail? that’s a total WIN!! only awesome firemen fight fires in reclining chairs.

  60. Heywood Jabloome says:

    It is just me or does it look like he is skeeting? /o/!

  61. fyrfitrmedic says:

    Fail? Looks more like epic win!

    funny but good!!!!

  63. Dallen says:

    Hey boss, just chillaxing whilst I put out this here fire. Chips?

  64. gimpykat says:

    I dunno…. I’d say that’s clearly a win.

  65. Broth says:

    thats how a man does it!

  66. Brendon says:

    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.

  67. Lunchbox says:

    THIS GUY IS MY HERO!!!!!

  68. Vincent says:

    RECAPTION IT FOR WIN FFS

  69. roger says:

    This is a WIN. How can a staged photo be a fail. I’m a firefighter and this is hilarious

  70. Addison says:

    Looks like a training house, so some guys were probably just having fun. This is definatly a WIN, though.

  71. Addison says:

    Looks like a training house, so some guys were probably just having fun. This is definatly a WIN, though.

  72. rebecca says:

    haha I’d almost consider this to be a WIN

  73. rebecca says:

    Man, this could almost be a WIN haha

  74. turtlemaster says:

    you guys really need to think before posting fails, cuz this is a total win and theres been a few wins in the recent past.

    Fail?, INCONCEIVABLE! This friends, is win!

  76. Omondii says:

    Armchair Firefighting WIN!

  77. Bailey says:

    Definitely not a fail.
    100% win.

  78. Traitorfish says:

    That man is my new hero.

  79. aj says:

    not even kindof a fail
    massive mega-win

  80. NO WAI says:

    Work smart, not hard.

  83. The CF says:

    No, really, this is a firefighting win.

  84. Notfail says:

    That is definitely not fail. That is most definitely epic win.

  85. Tony McInerney says:

    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

  86. Kingy says:

    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…

    Kingy
    Captain, Australian Bush Fire Brigade.

  87. Coil.Slade says:

    Absolute Win. This man is amazing.

  88. Browser says:

    That’s why they don’t let black people on the fireforce!

  89. Anthony says:

    WIN! hes testing the chair and saving lives. This guy should get a raise XD

  90. Dana says:

    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. :P 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.

  91. patrick says:

    wtf?
    thats a win not a fail

  92. Neontiger says:

    Lazy bastards! XD
