FISRT!
That’s great, now go away.
Oh, and in your excitement you spelled first wrong.
Actually, I think that Sam really is FISRT.
yeah, give him a break… he wasn’t trying to be a jerk by saying “FIRST”.
Or maybe Sam misspelled FISTR?
Fissured?
Now that you mention it…
You know, I think that this is more of a DPW fail, rather than a bridge fail…
Where did you find the burning house on googlemaps, what state is it in?
Wow, you’re ‘FISRT’.
You must be speedy!
Now sign the petition.
And why does the bus Win?
if he’s FISRT, then i’m SIFRT!
Complete with spelling error! I love it!!
FIST(e)R?
you don’t have a picture.
I have one.
me > you
Minger didn’t try and be a moron by shouting FISRT! (sic.)
Minger > you
don’t be so jealous of my epicness.
He was merely stating which truck driver he was guys come on leave him alone. So how much did the damage cost?
The damage is free, it’s those darn repairs that’ll cost ya.
Glass half full vs glass half empty terminology but quite right none the same.
actually it’s the same driver over and over again. he just didn’t want to give up on that bridge…
So, what medications do they give you at the “spa”?
The kind that makes you bubble with joy!
Would that be the infamous “spa” in the desert, Avis? Of course! That must have been Sam in the picture!
Egads!
Narf!
Poit!
Splarnge!
Gork!
Zoiks!
*Zoinks!
Boink!
Zoiks! Ruh-roh raggy!
Loz!!! How lovely to see you!
*hugs*
Giggledegaggledi!
Splunge!
Fjord!
Zort!
Flurgnurg!
I remember, right next to the gentleman in front of the building.
The very one, Marius.
Hee! Glad to see everyone is still here.
Can anyone tell me how Coyote is doing?
No.
But hopefully well
And I admire Sam for sticking up for her epicness.
Coyote will be MIA for another few weeks, I believe. He didn’t think he’d have internet access in the hospital.
But I’ve been thinking of him, too.
He called me names yesterday! (Might have been Saturday)
*smacks self on forehead*
He DID! I remember now. Gawd, my brain is a sieve when I’m on vacation.
Thanks for the update Dragon.
Vacation? Does that mean you have time to do a little creative writing?
No pressure. . .
Hee…!
I always do that…even when I should be doing other things.
Since my posting problem persists… here’s this…
I didn’t find Classical Fail funny at all, since it only vaguely (and unintentionally) implies pedophelia; that’s why I posted such a comment. What began this whole mess was certain users saying that (essentially) anyone who doesn’t find this funny has been raped as a child. That, I don’t find funny at all. Although I’ve never had such an experience, those who have (and, at least, myself) probably don’t like it. And that, Avis, is where the (now-)fine line between funny and outrageously offensive was annihilated.
You’re involved because:
Saying I never add funny comments was untrue.
Saying I always complain was untrue.
Saying I “must have a very sad existence” was offensive, untrue, and not funny.
Being politically correct and using phrases like “may have” and “might be” are daunting tasks, but it prevents chaos.
.
Over the months, I’ve learned that it’s better to ignore just plain stupid posts. But, when those come along that are just plain wrong, they deserve a piece of my mind. This FAIL I’m commenting on now? It’s perfectly fine IMO, although I didn’t laugh because I’ve seen it already. This one is perfectly fine to laugh at, because idiots who make it their profession in transport don’t seem to follow bridge height rules, thus, consequences ensue. We laugh at those consequences, and the Circle of Life continues.
Sweets, you need to lighten up. This is FailBlog, a humo(u)r site. We make jokes, you don’t have to agree with said jokes. You have now made this particular rant roughly 5 times. I get it. You don’t like me. That’s fine. You don’t have to. But is it really necessary to tell me that FIVE times and waste everybody else’s time?If a post comes along that deserves a piece of your mind (invaluable by your accounting) then it stands to reason that the rest of us are deserving of the same right.
“This one is perfectly fine to laugh at…” Really? Do we have your permission?
Oh. My. Gawd.
*gives Avis a glass of wine*
*or three*
Let’s try five. This guy has been giving me a headache for DAYS now.
On a completely new topic, did you see the debate over on totally-looks-like about Chris Brown or whatever his name is? There was one poster who was absolutely scary!!
I hope this one hangs around awhile; it amuses me greatly.
wiesz co, ziom, spierdalaj ty na palme banany prostowac lepiej
This comment problem is killing me… This better show up…
It doesn’t show up… then it does…. *sigh*
I am jealous of your epicness… please share
You know, the more you try to be cool, the more uncool you are.
Try to take the zen approach instead.
And maintain motorcycles?!?
Actually, motorcycles are cool. You could be onto something.
Sorry, but EPIC FAIL.
A retarded anime picture can’t pwn anyone, my dear. Try again next time.
Fiskers. It’s cat food, but if you like it, go with it.
Do they still make Shiny Cat in Sauce flavor?
Yes, it’s in the aisle next to the Homemade Babies.
Tastes like grandma!
Its a fantasy.
And a scary one.
Especially for those with deceased grandmothers.
*shudders*

It’s Whiskas thats a cat food. Fiskers are scissors….
First fail
Fail
i think it’s a shit fail
Weeaboo.
First to be an idiot =))
First
First fail.
Sam has Failed at being the First the say First
First fail.
wow is it realy that exciting?
FIAL?
Ahhh! I had been missing the bridge vs. truck fails!
Birds gotta sing, fish gotta swim, trucks gotta fail.
It’s the natural order.
Trust me when I tell you that you don’t want me to sing. Just trust me.
Awww come on Avis. A couple of drinks and a karaoke machine, you’ll sound terrific!
Ooooooo, where do I sign up for Avis Idol at?
I may be off on this assumption, but I bet Avis sings like a bird
Should I even ask how you sing?
Avis now has two shows? “Ask Avis” and “Avis Idol”?
Can I get your autograph Avis?
Italics fail!
It’s not me! It’s an impostor!
They’re on to me!
*dramatic exit*
ah, the ol’ slanted orientation continuation problem…been there, done that.
You should have loaned me the t-shirt but it’s ok, now I have my own.
Three shows, she’s also hosting Countdown.
Meh! I’ve lost interest since Carol left.
God, if you’re going to brown nose like that, why not just stick your whole head in.
Oh, you’ll have to pay to see that hot action.
I have never, EVER, participated in karaoke. And all of my friends should be very thankful for that.
I used to be able to sing. Then I started smoking. I’ve since quit smoking, but my voice never came back quite right.
I don’t know, personally I enjoy a raspy voice.
Raspy is one thing, I can’t seem to stay in key anymore. When I COULD sing had a very breathy voice. It annoyed the crap out of my step-monster that I was in Choir, she didn’t like the whole breathy sound.
You just need to sing blues, Avis – you’d do fine
♪ Naturally born bad ♪
Loved that one!
Clickie for blues info…
Wow! who know there were so many rules?
Amazing! So many rules…
You might like the animated “Sita Sings The Blues”. You’ll have to google it, I forget what site it’s on. Oh, and it’s 82 or so minutes long. It is fantastic though. The music is from the 30’s. I think.
“Can’t help lovin’ that fail of mine…”
It really isn’t the trucks who are failing. It is the dumb engineers who built the bridge too low who are failing.
I just need a little off the top please.
You made me smile, Mr. Cuddles! But then, you always do.
*SQUEEZE*
I’ve been following you mr. cuddles…
After that comment, I think the FBI and Interpol will be saying the same thing to you.
What happened to your link? Now I don’t know how to make emoticons.
The “lol” emoticon kind of creeps me out…
It’s like, “Ok, you can stop laughing now…no, seriously…anytime…”
It should take a break to eat some Quaker Oats! (It’s the right thing to do.e)
Whats the longest word in the dictionary?
…
.
.
Smiles… there is a mile between the 2 ’s’
It looks like the emoticon has a nervous tic while laughing.
I always think it’s about to sneeze, for some reason.
-choo!
Here you go. Bookmark it if you can, it’s what I did.
Thanks, Avis! Excellent
!
(Y)
guess thumbs up does not work…..for shame.
That was a thumbs up?! My mind must be getting dirty.
Oh dear. We’ve corrupted him.
That would be:
(.Y.)
You are thinking of.
We’ve corrupted his virgin mind!
It was only a matter of time.
Actually, it was where the tumb went.
… dragon, did you guys get to me too? cause that didn’t look like a thumbs up in ANY way i think about it -.-
Those aren’t buoys.
*SQUEEZE!*
*SQUEEZE* How are you today Dragon?
Just great, mr. cuddles! We’re having a HYOOOOGE thunderstorm here right now, and it’s really very cool. Large crashes of thunder that make the pictures on my wall rattle.
*wishes she had someone to share it with*
I LOVE thunderstorms! If AA doesn’t show up, I will gladly share it with you
You’re welcome to stay Mr. Cuddles…for awhile.
Yay! Good afternoon Admiral
Hee! Good afternoon Mr. Cuddles. Unfortunately, I’m pretty busy today.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
*tackles the Admiral in an enormous hug*
However, I cannot resist sharing a thunderstorm with the person that makes the sun rise.
*falls to the ground in a joyous embrace*
*SMOOOCH!*
*we immediately get soaking wet in the torrential downpour, our clothes plastered to our bodies*
We’ll work on the clothes problem a little later. For now…
*enjoys the sensation of time stopping, as we remain like two lovers depicted sculpture, locked in perpetual embrace*
Thunderstorms are natures rock concerts. You can never really enjoy them unless you’re out there in them!
bridge WIN
I have to say that it also makes a great oversized can opener. Don’t you think?
All we need is a can big enough.
I think someone messed with the height sign on that bridge.
I just think there are a lot of truck drivers who don’t pay attention to those signs.
I love them so, though. I get paid to fix their screw-ups. C’est la vie!
Je ne sais pas quoi tu as dit. Je suis ennuyeux maintenant.
God I hate French class.
Or “didn’t.”
Bet they do now.
Well if you go by that logic, you would think the yellow one at the end
would’ve been smarter but than he goes and does it two more times. Thus,
proving my theory that people are stupid creatures
Wow. How did they come up with so many fails at one overpass? One of them reminds me of a favorite aphorism….Ryder rents trucks…but not drivers…
Now now no one has done no such thing.
*Drops hydraulics remote labeled “Bridge Height Control”.
*hides paintbrush & stencils in Sam’s locker*
Who would be so vile
& shifty 
to do that?
Low Bridges + Big Trucks = Imminent catastrophe.
i’m first. You’re not.
me > you
Your brain < How annoying you are
First in no way means greater than. What are you, 8?
1 > 2
Sam, you have been criticized by a majority of failbloggers and have been squashed flat by boggy, my advice would be to leave.
Nah…he won’t leave. He’s enjoying all the attention too much.
Negative attention > no attention at all.
Sad really.
No matter what, you have to give props for 1>2. That’s a nice come back.
One is the loneliest that you’ll ever know….
*leaps off bus*

(I loved the coyote when I was a child, never understood how the road runner could go through the paint but he couldn’t. Even as a child i thought that was impossible.)
Emp, that’s kind of sad, really.
But if that struck you as impossible, did the concept of a coyote walking on two legs and carrying anvils, wearing helmets and whatnot bother you?
As I child I made exceptions due to the fact that it was a cartoon, but it was the continuity of the tunnel, that one character could go through and not the other. That was my issue of impossibility. But why do you say that is sad?
Emp, I have a feeling you do not understand that most cartoons do away with most forms of logic.
Because the beautiful thing about imagination is being able to accept the impossible as possible–ever so briefly–and allowing that juxtaposition to delight us. I think Avis is probably saying it is sad that your child’s imagination did not allow you to experience this.
If you were willing to suspend your disbelief for one why not the other?
And it’s sad because it’s too… straight-laced of a mind set for a child.
I was describing the past why are we referencing the present. I understood the lack of logic but just once I wanted him to finally succeed and have a trap work, not to eat him but to just succeed.
Yes, but surely if the Coyote managed to eat Roadrunner, the cartoon would end there and then?
Sorry, sweets. We didn’t want to tell you until you were older.
I don’t know why but I always had a grasp of math as a child and logic followed, it might not be as straight laced as you believe. I have an imagination and all it is just that I still applied logic to situations where equality was an issue. That is one of my big things in life, I expect things to be fair and the same for all things. That was my big issue what made the road runner different. Don’t get me wrong by all means I enjoyed the cartoons this was more of a back of the mind nagging issue.
BFF I just wanted him to catch him once, just once, he can escape right after but I just wanted one success. One success that was not interrupted by a fake tunnel becoming real and then fake again.
So wait… All I have to do is not believe in logic then everything will happen that way? So that’s how women do it…
*holds up sign “Please don’t kill the tiger.”*
Sad enough women will still win 99.9999% of all arguments. You will realize this throughout your life. So just be careful whenever you are in an argument with a woman. Reminds everyone tigers are an endangered animal.
Before I get eaten alive… *Disclaimer there is nothing sad about it, it is just a mere fact being stated.*
What is logical to you, is not necessarily so to others.
And I could easily argue that men are less logical than women, but that is a debate for some other time. When there are fewer trolls about. Trolls it seems are the absence of logic (and wit).
See here is one instance where we walk away with our tale between our legs. Thanks Avis for the perfect example.
arrg *tail*
*kersplotch*
There’s a lot of that going around at the moment, isn’t there?
*Can’t help but wince*
*Knows there is some reference in there for oneself*
I did not call you a troll, for the record. Logic seems to be mutable. I just figured that the debate might be more… productive if held when there was a lesser chance of trolls interjecting.
I have been told I am a little too logical.
Lol. At the risk of contradicting myself, I agree with you in entirety.
Let it be said that a tiger’s logic is never understood in any case. And I apologize if I have offended anyone… it wasn’t the intent. I just had to deal with a very irrational woman at work and the comment came out rather harsh.
Dragon this is late, but I do not have a child.
Nor did she imply that you did. What she was saying was tha you , when you were a child, did not allow your imagination any hold. And that is unforgivably sad.
Please…PLEASE tell me that was a joke.
It was a joke I was just commenting on the format, I got the idea of what she was trying to say. Just a play on her saying my child’s imagination rather than my childhood imagination. Sheesh why can’t I go one day without being beaten into the corner.
*Sits facing corner sulking*
Um…. no. No it isn’t.
I think Sam used to work at Enron’s accounting dept.
But clearly not in payroll!
I am < amused with him.
Hehehe!
basic math fail
I never knew math worked that way in Retarded Land.
It doesn’t…they can at least count to ten.
I knew I should have specified Socially Retarded Land, but yes correct, they really can.
It does work that way in bizzaro world, why not?
It’s all relative as some people say.
Is that an Einstein quote? Geniu
*s at its weirdest, i hate when the touch pad clicks add comment before I am done my sentence.
That’s not even mathematically true.
Actually…I think first is the worst and second’s the best. Yeah…yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how it goes. I’m pretty sure zero’s the hero too, but you’ll have to check with him to confirm.
No, no. It’s:
Jake > me > Ezra
Low bridges + big trucks = imminent Schadenfreude!

Kill a Snake, sir.
GF’s snake has escaped. 6 foot or so orange corn snake. Sigh…
It’s not dangerous. Quite friendly if I’m right yes WN?
*is absolutely terrified of snakes*
I’m terrified of snakes too Avis. I’ll stay int he box with you.
*SQUEEZE*
Thank you!
*SQUEEZE* Luckily I brought a deck of cards and some cookies. What do you want to play?
*waves at Avis and mr. cuddles*
Say “Hi” to Indy for me.
Absolutely. Corn snakes are darling, really. I had one get tangled up in my hair once.
Don’t look in a mirror!
It must have been fun.
I mean you got to experience Medusa’s usual hair day.
Sweet.
*shudders*
I have friends who STILL call me Medusa, even after all these years.
Yep. Friendly and missing. Looked for him for like 2 hours last night.
He gonna be grounded if we find him.
Hope you can find the cat.
LOL – cat is 18 years old. Mini Pini & Pomeranian are both under 2.
I don’t think the snake is that brave – mice are plenty for him.
Are those poisonous? And more importantly, do they like to be hugged?
YES & YES… have at it!
They’re also the only reptile capable of dissolving Plexiglas with their venom and they can smell fear!
From 30 feet away!
Not funny.
sorry
Is it funny if the snake is wearing one of those hats with a propeller on the top?
Snakes on a propeller plane?
PoB, that might be even more terrifying!
PoB, the visual of that made me rofl.
For once, I actually liked how they put that countdown in.
I want you to go home and think about what you just wrote there.
I think I wrote, “For once, I actually liked how they put that countdown in.”
*giggles*
Ack! Now you’re only .002% Moomin? Are you disappearing???
Sadly, he’s only a fraction of the Moomin he used to be.
*inserts Moomin booster*
*raises eyebrow*
Moomin running at 200% in 3… 2… 1…
Let’s jam. . .
Did someone spike the Moomin booster?
Hey! I posted a comment here shortly after Jam wrote hers. Where’d it go?!?
If only I could remember how they kept Tinkerbell from disappearing in Peter Pan! Oh, curse my metal body! I wasn’t fast enough!
We’ll miss you, MikeyD.
*claps*
*squeeze*
Well, crap. Mikey got the clap while he was away.
Ya gotta be careful who you squeeze.
The countdown was pointless. They need to stop editing the videos at all.
Angry Avis response in 3…2…1…
I have my own countdown now? Hmmm… and here I started counting to ten (under my breath) and trying to unclench my jaw.
I second this in 3… 2… 1…
seriously, what’s the point?
Aw, but the countdown was fun….reminds me of playing Burnout, just before the crashbreaker goes off.
Those countdowns need to GO!!!!
BOGGY FURST! YOU NOT!Sam*STOMPS
FLAT*YOU UNNERSTAN? BOGGY FURST!!!
Sam, I suggest you let the Boggy win.
Or bad things will happen. Very bad things.
m’kay bro’
Schnauze, Schleimeimer.
Somehow I don’t think Sam wants to play by the rules. Or at least, Sam only wants to play if he/she gets to win. If you can call it winning.
BOGGY WINS ALL TIME!BOGGY NEBER LOSE!!
YOU UNNERSTAN?
BOGGY WIN WIN WIN!!!!
BOGGY LICK TO WINS!!
Is Unnerstan a new nation? I’ve never seen it on any maps.
Inside of Dividing Kazakhstan into North Kazakhstan and South Kazakhstan; they decided on OBERSTAN and UNNERSTAN!
I knew a guy who lived in Unnerstan….down with Oberstan!!
But Oberstaners are humans as well… Can’t we all just get along?
The Oberstan’er’s Motto:
“Sorry, I not Unnerstan.”
Unnerstan? Must be where the WMDs are
They have looked under Stan & within 3 mi of him…
No WMD’s.
But do they have any oil?
Not Unnerstan! Go way!

Frend wunt BOGGY 2 Fixes BRIDGE?BOGGY CAN!!
BOGGY MAKES Bridge not BROKEN the TRUCKS? HUH?
PLEEZE?
Just don’t start throwing them in the trees again.
They do make good Christmas ornaments if you stick lights in them.
Why is a bus going under a bridge a ‘win’?
Because the bus is a falic symbol, and sex is awesome.
(one of your better answers, keep it up!)
thats what she said?
ha
imo bus faild at failing soo… fail at failing equals win!
low bridge + truck = convertible
Would that mean that Low bridge = convertible – truck?
Yes. If you manage to subtract a truck from a convertible, you get a free low bridge.
Amazing what math teaches us nowadays. . .
cheaper than a new car = win?
Naaaaaaw, fraid you got the equation wrong. It is, low bridge/truck=convertible (aka low bridge over truck equals convertible). Therefore, low bridge=truck x convertible. And anyone who has seen the fast and the furious knows this is true. A truck is a convertibles low bridge. I think the real crazy thing everyone is miss out on though is that, low bridge/(truck x convertible)=1 I’m not sure what that means but it seems profound. And if you really wanna get crazy, 1/truck=convertible/low bridge.
This is a City FAIL. The city should have fixed this after the FIRST truck. Oh wait, since when do governments care about public safety? My mistake!
Or maybe truck drivers should read those freakin signs
Yup, your mistake.
plenty of other trucks get around it well enough
Basic civic understanding FAIL
Actually it is a railroad bridge and as such the city can’t touch it. Railroads are private.
But we could spend hundreds of thousand – maybe millions – fixing a bridge or a few trucks could take a different route.
Railroads are funded in part by the government. Our government being what it is (and has been since time began) would very likely have something to say about the state of the bridges. And fixing the bridge might actually be cheaper in the long run, but we can’t say for certain either way. We don’t have all the facts.
Or all the tequila.
Myself, I’d go for sitting on the hillside and watching the trucks fail whilst sipping margaritas.
Margaritas all around?
Don’t see why not!
Can I have a strawberry one?
*Passes out margaritas*
*sip, sip*
Raspberry for me, please!
…And the first person who “Pllbbbbtttttt!”s me gets *FOOOOOM!*ed, got it? :p
*snork*
Raspberry it is Dragon.
*grabs Dragon around the hips*
*gives her a zerbet surprise*
I’ll give you a completely different kind of heat.
♪What a lovely way to burn!♪
♪Burn, baby, burn!♪
What’s the city supposed to do? Rebuild it’s entire infrastructure every time some idiot in a rent-a-truck can’t read a clearly posted height sign?
If there is no sign, yeah, the city should put one up. Beyond that, what do you expect them to do, hold your hand while driving and looking to protect you from your own stupidity at every turn.
What’s with the bus? It didn’t do anything
That was totally lame. Woo, a vehicle managed to go under the bridge without hitting it. Not a win.
Must say, I noticed that all the trucks were just a little big too high. Maybe the sign is off by a few inches. It’s possible the council repaved the road and didn’t take the bridge in to consideration. If you replace regular tarmac with popcorn surface for example it raises the surface something like 3 inches, enough to take the top off a truck that could squeeze under on the old surface.
ROADS MADE OF POPCORN!
WHERE?
Those signs have huge margins. Off (in the safe direction) by more than a foot for every one I have ever had to measure.
Now that’s a well-build bridge!
I know! It didn’t fall down!
Well the video is called fail trucks not fail bridge.
True, but if the bridge fell, would it necessarily be the bridges fault? Assuming it was hit by a big truck of course.
I doubt the builders of the bridge had that in mind, so it would be unfair to call it the bridges fault.
What does Lloyd’s family have to do with any of this?
They have EVERYTHING to do with this! Don’t PRETEND like you don’t KNOW!!
.
(And the Oscar for best Dramatic Overreaction goes to…)
Yikes! I picked a hell of a day to stop sniffing glue.
Sam
Oh, well, congratulations to Sam then.
*secretly plots his revenge*
I demand a recount!
Would you settle for a Vicecount of The Puebla de Alcocer?
Or the Count of Monte Cristo?
willdog, I think engineers usually design long-term infrastructure keeping possible impacts in mind. (But I would agree it would still be almost entirely the trucks’ fault.)
And if the bridge fell in the forest, would it make a noise?
I don’t know, I’m starting to get worried about that bridge’s continuing stability. What goes over the top? It looks like a train track? Those can be rather heavy. How many hits can this bridge take until a 12 ton train engine collapses it from above?
43
No, it’s 42…it’s always 42.
*MEASURES*
Yup!, It always 42!
*Smiles & zips Pants*Boggy, you naughty monster!!
Boggy…wins…
And I add 42 to the list of numbers that have a sexual connotation.
Thanks Boggy.
*imagines what 111 will be like*
Boggy wears pants?
I live close enough to this bridge to have seen this video when it was on the local news. There’s a metal bar a few feet in front of the bridge itself that handles the job of taking the top off trucks.
Also, note that most of the trucks that hit are rentals driven by idiots who don’t understand that they’re in a tall vehicle.
IT’S A TRAAAAAAAAAAAPPP!!!
I like the guy pushing the cabinet/piano/whatever across the street on the first fail
A large crash is the last thing you want to here while pushing a large object through a crowded intersection.
It slows down traffic.
…there sure were a lot of vehicle fails these days…
And sorry if I mispelled anything.
Not one word in your comment is misspelled.
Other than ‘misspelled’.
No, I meant that not one word in his comment was the word “misspelled” (spelled right)
What a hack (cleaver)?
What, you have an axe to grind?
Leave it to Dragon to cut right to the heart of the matter
You’re still milling about in here huh Nellie?
Chop it you two.
(B2th, clicky, this made me think of your joke the other day)
Ha! That’s a good one
Yes, and you wood be too if you’ve seen what I’ve saw.
Hew know it!
It couldn’t be planer!
All these comments are slowing down my router.
I used to enjoy coming to Failblog and watching silly videos and laughing at silly pics. However, the intro and the countdown additions to the videos has annoyed me to such an extent that i will no longer be visiting this blog, nor will I be recommending it to anyone. I urge others who loved this site in the past to join in my boycott. Good day.
I think this counts as number #18 on our overused blogs lists last fail. Hooray Billy!
Bye! *waves*
Have fun boycotting.
Maybe he could also go on a hunger strike?
3 strikes, he’s out
He’ll show them.
Do you promise?!
He’ll be back…. they always come back. He’ll miss us. He’ll missed the hilarity, witticism and pun runs. He’ll miss the obscure comments, sexual references and innuendo. He’ll last less than a week before he peeks in again. Then he’ll change his name and join us once again.
Billy, it’s OK to hate what FailBlog does to you, but still impossible to stay away from. Soon they will start up a FailBlog Anon on an Internet near you! Until then, just don’t watch the videos and only read the comments. It’ll be OK, really!
Best Wishess,All of UsBest Regards,A Few of UsScrew You, SB
Hee!
what a retard.
*sniff* I love you guys today…you made me lowl alllll morning.
The comments are even funnier than the Fails… Mind blown in apleasurable way. *grin and go on to gather brain matter*
Agreed *looks for brain bits too*
“lowl”
Is that like “Laughed in an Owl Like Manner”? or what?
I think he was in one of those self righteous wedgies. Happens every once in a while. *comtemplative*
Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
Bye Billy!!
I agree with the annoyance at the countdown thing, but it doesn’t bother me enough to boycott the site.
The logo up front doesn’t bother me either, although the original owner of the footage might not like it too much.
But man, does that countdown stink. It’s badly timed, it breaks the rhythm of the video; it’s supposed to be funny, but it just fails.
I shot a bunch of skiing fails this weekend; they’re awesome, and should be shared. But I don’t want Failblog putting their dumb countdown in them. What to do?
I’m sure they’ll come around eventually, but you will never know. If they change it to suit your whims, I’ll be sure to leave a comment here about. But how would you hear about it? A conundrum, eh?
I fought the law and. . . crashed into a bridge.
Bridge construction win?
BOGGY! I made you some cookies!
*sprinkles mysterious dust on the cookies*
…In other news, BoggyPoisioner has been apprehended and charged with attempted murder of an innocent Bog monster. The verdict is guilty and he will serve at least three million, six thousand and ten years in the FailBog Prison.
. . .with 20 days off for good behavior.
Every 392 years.
Boggy’s madness is poisoning the FAIL blog; while his troll killing skills are undeniable the stink is unbearable
Boggy has a stink? Funny, I couldn’t notice it over your stench that is making this place reek.
BOGGY USE DODERANT!BOGGY *SNARFS UNDERARM* SMEEL GOODS!

I swing, but not your direction, but I appreciate the interest and the offer. {Don’t be surprized if you find a few new friends holding your ankles soon.}
Thanks and all that, but I don’t think so….
Most likely the cause of all the accidents was construction.
The city paves and repaves the road under the bridge. Each time they do that it raises the height of the road by a few inches thus making the clearance smaller and smaller.
The sign might read 15′ clearance but after a few years, it’s actually around 14′.
A driver who knows his truck is 14.5′ high knows assumes he’ll make it but get’s a nasty surprise.
They should have left the paving to Jesus.
Enough with the “win” countdown already! A bus acting totally normal is not a win!
On a lighter note, best video since the redesign.
Stop being so negative man…we only have 1..2 years tops before this site goes the way of steak and cheese and all the other funny sites and turns to hard core porn.
So there will be porn!!
I knew it…
*Adding the date in my calender.*
I’m not sure if I want the mental picture of what FAIL porn would look like.
The confusion when they try to shoot gay porn with straight men? Perhaps?
Too late.
Yah…nudists wandering through weddings…rotund gentlemen in lingerie pretending to be Jessica Simpson…strippers at a bachelor party with children present…
Only no censure bars across the tits. This is our future. Fear it.
*cowers*
coward
I could link to that “fat kid air guitar” vid again if you like. That would have you cowering.
(That would have ME cowering, dear GOD was that disturbing!)
“…rotund gentlemen in lingerie pretending to be Jessica Simpson” I know people who would pay good money to see that. (It’s Hollywood, after all…).
Fail
the “dot org” makes me want to punch the person in the balls who sais that
Actually, it was you. We recorded it in your sleep.
Then he would really go *org*.
you forgot your ‘y’ at the end of that
OK, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Shouldn’t it be “Local authority bridge design unit fail”?
no
The overpass was built before trucks got that tall. I’m pretty sure this is from one of the overpasses in Durham, NC where I live.
There was also one very like it in Kansas City, MO when I lived there. Right by the hospital. Some of the ambulances couldn’t go that way because they were too tall. Then a Semi hit it.
You are correct. This is the overpass on Gregson street near Brightleaf square.
Yup. At Gregson and Pettigrew. I once missed a bus because a two-trailer semi got stuck so bad it bottomed out on the pavement below as well.
I was thinking this is the one near Brightleaf Square.
Yep, this is a railroad bridge over Gregson St in Durham. There’s an overhead concrete barrier just in front of the bridge that takes all the hits.
Honestly, the countdown timer is crap.
STOP PUTTING THE COUNTDOWN IN THE VIDEOS!!
Interrupting clips to tell us something that is bound to happen, ruins the video!
Half the fun of watching your Failblog videos, is finding the fail for ourselves.
so in a way, your countdowns are fails! and that’s just unacceptable.
There’s a boycott going on because of this outrageous crap. Maybe you wanna join?
*opens exit door for bloodseeker*
There is a boycott…yet there is not girlcott. I cry foul.
*adjusts door hinges so it slams shut faster on Bloodseeker’s back end*
nah
I thouhg the bus was going to crash killing lots of kids….
I kind of agree, kind of disagree. In a few of the videos, the countdown has been lame, because the “win” it was counting down to was something unremarkable that wasn’t in the least bit win at all. Others, like the Parking Fail, did have a win towards the end of the video, and in those cases, I didn’t mind the countdown at all.
I like the new intro, though.
That’s almost verbatim what I’ve emailed them twice now. I don’t think they give a flying flip…this is their version of Sci Fi Originals, y’see. Someone somewhere thought it was a great idea and now we’re stuck with it until they are forced to change their name to FylbBlyg.Yrg.
This was funnier when it was on College Humor.
Then, by all means, go back there.
I think College Humor may be too sophisticated for Turk.
wow… that bridge must be INFAMOUS.
To truck drivers the least. I bet they play games all the time: “Will he make it? Will he make it? Oh come on. It barely scratched it, it counts as a win. Richie you owe me 10 bucks.”
It’s more than famous…it’s INFAMOUS!

This was local to me… It was on a local radio station’s website a couple weeks ago. I found it while looking for the video of the milk tanker that overturned that morning. I twittered it to a friend in Atlanta, and now it’s here.
For some *STUPID* reason, the URL for the radio station’s video now points to a five minute piece by Palin on the Special Olympics. (The numeric id in the URL apparently refers to an offset from 0, where 0 is the most recent video they’ve posted.) I can’t find a current URL for it.
First of all…
..this is not my truck, officer.
And furthermore…
Your new video format SUCKS ASS.
Didn’t momma teach you not to swear lousily in front of smarter people. I am a guest and still know the rules. Tisk tisk tisk. No wank off session tonight then.
Wow… You sound like a real idiot…
What can I say…
It’s a natural talent.
*shakes head at JoeTroll & MikkelTroll*

Now for a completely unrelated response… The letter “R”.

So anyways this has been major fun. I will travel through time zones and come back again tomorrow. Yey!
Weirdo.
The bus isn’t a win, it’s a weak stretch in order to accommodate the current gimmick.
The real win is the person who set up a video camera in order to record all of these trucks going by.
That bus isnt a bus at all, its a journey. And that journey isnt a journey, its a symbol. And that symbol isnt a symbol, its a thought. And that thought isnt a thought, because your dumb.
Much agreed. I thought it was quite obvious that the bus would make it under. Could have said car win and it would have been equally dumb. Great video until that point.
STOP PUTTING THAT STUPID INTRO AND COUNTDOWN ON YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
You misspelled Dayne.
I thought it was dane funny.
I thought it was dane funny.
A comment so nice, I posted twice!

Alas poor Dane I know him all to well.

There’s ne’er a villain dwelling in all Danemark
but he’s an arrant knave.
YES STOP IT
Agree! Who thought the countdown was cool anyway?
agreed
It not a truck fail it’s a bridge fail!
No, it’s a truck fail or a bridge win. It’s the truck drivers’ own goddam fault.
really, bridge fail.
who the hell built a bridge that a standard size truck can’t fit under?
I know
Its a bridge WIN!
Bridge fail indeed
its bridge WIN.
not a bridge fail. That bridge dominated those trucks! BRIDGE WIN!!!
This guy was having fun taking all these videos
More like Bridge fail
Nope. bridge always won. Trucks always lost.
I once towed my sailboat on a trailer under a bridge and forgot to lower the mast. The bridge won that time as well.
Man, that bridge has got to be losing structural integrity by now.
Also, the Bus win wasn’t really worth it. Perhaps the bridge was made with buses in mind. Except for those two-tiered buses in London, which always make for good bridge/tunnel fails.
This was a bridge fail, not truck fail..
…NO!
Been over this already…like thirty times.
The truck driver and truck fail… the bridge just does it job…and wins by not collapsing.
Seriously, the countdowns suck. They’re not funny, and they just destroy any humor in the video.
True. Countdown fail.
You can tell by the timing that they are the work of someone who doesn’t really understand the importance of timing in humour.
If the countdowns were done by someone with a decent sense of comedic timing, we’d all think they were awesome.
I don’t get it
Did you click on the big arrow?
HA!
I’d say it’s more of a bridge fail. After all those semis, you’d think they would do something about it.
Too many semis? Sounds like a personal problem.

All this talk over protesting failblog has spiked my interest. Im going to now protest failblog for the next 16 hours (until I come into work tommorow) or until the Moomin gives us 100%. None of this 7% Moomin or .002%Moomin crap. So good day sirs!!
Does this mean we never have to see another truck stuck under an overpass/birdge?
This looks like the bridge at Gregson St and Pettigrew St, famous for shaving the top of trucks off. In its defense, it’s a railroad trestle from about the turn of the century, and is built like a freaking man-of-war. Huge, metal, and not designed for truck traffic. Also, please note the HUGE YELLOW SIGN with flashing lights, hanging on a large metal bar to notify dumba$$es that it’s a low clearance. And that, my friends, is why this video exists: after the amount of idiots ramming it, they had to install a camera to record it.
It totally is the bridge over Gregson! I think it happens about once a week. Some friends used to have an office in Brightleaf right next to it and they would hear a bang and they always knew.
I think they installed a really strong steel structure in front last year to shave off the trucks before they hit the bridge.
Warning, Failtrucks travel in packs
Oops, forgot to mention this lovely bridge is probably in Durham, NC.
The “reply to this comment” button is your friend.
haha
Seems more like a bridge fail to me
A new type of suicide bridge
FIRST!
-test-
Oh. Glad to see ya, Wyde. I found out that comments won’t post on a page that is full. You have to go to the next one (or maybe hit “show all” at the bottom, but I haven’t tried that out yet.)
Wise man says ?cp=all is your friend.
You can’t see the comments over 300. If you are using the recent comment links, paste that in after fail/ and before the #comment bit.
If this is not the problem you have, I’ve got nothing.
Thanks, Jam, but I’m functionally e-tarded. Where is this “recent comments” link?
Right side of the screen, in a box, under the “tags” box.
I dunno if that video is from Davenport, Iowa, or not. But in that town, you bound to see a truck trying to go under the railroad bridge and fail, once in a while! Here’s an article on one of the truck who think they can, but….well, see it for yourself: http://www.qctimes.com/news/local/article_785ed812-2f16-548f-a157-6553459398a0.html
That effin 3-2-1 crap. Like putting the punchline before the setup. I’ve stopped telling friends about failblog videos. Loss of audience right there.
Haha, I agree… I posted this same thing before reading yours.
I love failblog, but the new video format is driving me crazy. The little guy on a bike intro is lame, and the 3..2..1… part is annoying as hell. It takes the fun out of watching the videos
This should be called Bridge Fail since it seems like it wasn’t marked right.
Umm, it is marked correctly. Thanks to JessGH, I found the offending
intersection in google streetview. It’s actually Gregson and Peabody,
in Durham, NC. Pettigrew is on the other side of the tracks. There are
two signs that say the bridge is 11′-8″ tall, and another sign overhead
with lights that flash when a vehicle is too tall for the bridge.
You can see it here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=peabody+st+and+gregson+st,+durham,+nc&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.443116,52.03125&ie=UTF8&ll=35.999268,-78.909947&spn=0.000809,0.001304&t=h&z=20&layer=c&cbll=35.999198,-78.910009&panoid=k8NWAT6n0MwFhA4iou5cIg&cbp=12,232.41185695151862,,0,5.185185185185188
Thank you for posting the link of the intersection!
There’s a similar one on the other side of Downtown that I pass under on my way to work daily, at Roxboro and Pettigrew streets. It also has MULTIPLE signs, with flashing lights. I think they even *decreased* the height on the sign a few years back — not sure if it was incorrect to start, or they just decreased it hoping fewer dumbass truck drivers would go, eh, I’m close enough, I’ll make it. Either way about once a month or so as I’m driving by, there will be traffic diverted because someone’s stuck.
The brilliant part of this one though is that road underneath actually goes uphill under the bridge, so the opening is taller than the actual clearance. Seen many a truck approach with caution, see that they clear the front, and keep going only to get wedged under the bridge. Would love to see a traffic cam from that intersection.
But as JessGH says, these are some OLD and solid bridges. They don’t build ‘em like they used to. Though it is still amusing (and a little scary) to pass underneath and notice all the scrape marks on the concrete above.
I’d call that a “Bridge Fail” not a “Truck Fail”
The new video format is a FAIL. It ruins all spontaneity, which is what makes fail videos the funniest.
Boo on the win – if there isn’t a clear win in a video, then don’t give us the stupid win countdown. It’s not funny, or interesting, or clever, its just lame.
New video format is annoying.
That is all
they used the same sound for every crash those were not from the trucks fail
Is that the same bridge? If so, you’d think someone would do something about it considering all of the trucks getting damaged. Funny bus win.
That bridge is gonna break soon im sure.
Ale gówniany most! Uczcie się, wsiochy, od wyżej rozwiniętych krajów, jak kurwa, budować. Inaczej się, biedaki, nigdy z tego syfu nie wygrzebiecie.

Sorry, I was first, my computer just lagged. ^.^
Shhhh
lolololol Lrn 2 13′6″
Good heavens, that video opening “Faaaail Blooog… dot-euorgh!” is terrible. Also so is the “Bus Win in 3 2 1″ portion. They add nothing; only distract.
I agree with dutchiee and anyone else who already said this.
Unless that yellow sign is a height limit, this is totally a bridge fail!
That FISRT truck was a doozy.
lol More like Bridge Design Fail..
Aye, bridge fail
That bus win part was really stupid.
this happens ALL the time outside my college (the University Of Louisville). I counted once and I think there are something like 17 signs (counting both directions of traffic) warning that OVERSIZE TRUCKS DO NOT ENTER, but does that stop them? of course not. does it stop the student shuttle bus from being able to take its normal route, thus making students late to class? of course it does. this happens much more often than one might imagine.
Actually I think this is a Bridge Fail, By looking at the amount of failed trucks
i don’t think this is a fail at all.
and if they just place a little sign with… max height …. ft. everything will be just fine.
last 4fails on failblog didn’t make me laugh at all… what’s that?!
Why aren’t there any signs warning about the height of the bridge? (or are they just stupid?)
“We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”
FAIL
Bus WIN, oh-hay! \o/
That is more like an engineering fail or a highway worker fail.
I really need to know where and why this happened.
I kind of find the new Failblog video formats to be lame. The whole need for a win was unnecessary in this video. It was like… who cares… I want more fail.
I agree. The new sitestamp at the beginning of the vid is very annoying.
The “WIN” was not humorous and didn’t add to the video either.
I have a totally original, never before been made comment:
That’s totally a bridge fail. Oh, and the countdown was dumb.
And I’m FIRST. Or at least, this is the first comment I’m going to bother reading.
more like bridge fail
These pointless wins are getting annoying.
FIRST…… time I’ve posted on failblog. This site is hilarious. I finally got caught up on all the old pages
isn’t this more of a bridge fail…?
Well…in defense for the drivers stupidity on running under a low bridge, all the trucks shown in the video are of a “box” or “straight” truck variety. In most states you do not need a CDL to drive any car or truck under a set weight, and that weight is set at some ungodly high GVWR like 10,000lbs. Considering your average pick-up truck fully loaded with concrete can set you at roughly 6,500lbs, this leaves way too much room to be exploited. So an idiot fresh out of drivers ed and still legitimately drive one of these trucks without any formal training.
In essence, wanna-be trucker noobs don’t know how to read a map, or in regards to all the flashy bright signs all over the street, read at all. They Fail miserably. I will defend the Win on the bus’ part though. You do need a CDL to drive a bus, and the driver knew they would fit (barely) under the bridge.
I can just imagine the thoughts in the drivers’ minds. ” I can make it. I can make it. Aw $hit! $hit! $hit! $hit! Fuk! Fuk! Dammit!!”
Lol… That’s a rather popular bridge xD
I can only guess that the clearance sign says that the bridge is higher than it actually is. That, or there’s way more idiots around than I thought.
Oh yeah this is totally a truck fail not a bridge fail <_<
Almost all the failed trucks were of the rental variety; Penske, Ryder, etc.
I Think this is more a bridge fail than a trucks fail
Wow thats one strong bridge
bus?
DOUCHE BAGSSSS
Don’t you think it should be “overpass fail” instead of truck fail? Some dumb engineers out there…
OMG, I totally know where this is… I live 10 minutes from here, in Durham, NC O_O
yeah well i live in it
Town must be run by Democrats. Bridge still isn’t fixed.
yeah i live in that town……it is, i hate it, no liberals sctually but i dont care, im a republican
Honestly, this seems more like bridge fail than a truck fail to me. I mean, why would you build something that’s almost tall enough for the moving truck n00bs to get their vehicle under, but not quite? Memo to the architect: trolling IRL just makes you look like the shittiest person alive when it costs other people thousands of dollars.
comment 600 !
Another one bites the dust bum bum bum
Looks like Chicago.
lol, the third one doesn’t even notice
XD
OMG haha that bridge is right across from my dads office, wow….he always talks about the trucks always hitting the bridge
Is it possible it’s actually a bridge fail? Perhaps they listed the wrong height so the trucks are fooled.
So much fail. SO MUCH FAIL!
FIRST!!!!
Where is this?
i peed in my pants because i lol’d too much.
troll bridge
they should really do something about that bridge lmao.. or get even bigger trucks so the bridge diiies!
i love the bus win lol
NOOOOT SECOND!
… Nor first either
FISTR is what i do to your sister on fridays.
