And that concludes the reading of the rules, Bruce!
arg and arg again. I hate this I have to read each and every comment to see if anyonesays something to me. it gets tiring…looks lone Blue2th missed my reply to his comment. *pllttthhhthth* in FB PTB general direction. You better fix this before mr. Cuddles gets back for Ireland.
You know, I’m finding this threadless banter is causing me to lose braincells. I’m feeling more and more ICHC-like every minute.
omg teh intrwbz iz sooo bwokn lolz!
I gonna smak teh stoopy srvr!! take dat!!1
Kidtruth, they weren’t even real. The information you got was wrong. It is like saying 1 + 1 = 8. It is not correct and one should not want to learn about it.
Guys, I think its time for an intervention.
*Grabs brewski and sits him in the center(re) of a circle, composed of FB regulars.*
These people are here because they care about you brewski. It is an open floor format so anyone feel free to speak.
I have recently taken to watching the interventions on A and E. That is what they do, surround or confront the addict with loved ones, and they all beg for him to quit. Then it is off to rehab.
weeee!! failblog funz! I likes alls teh…
Ooooh, shiny!!
*mesmerized*
Woah… *blink blink*
Where am I? Why is everybody staring at me? And what happened to Bondfan? For God’s sake, somebody help!
Glad to be of umm…service, Emp. Hehe.
.
My attention span is WAY too short for this new fangled Line Blogging (can’t bring myself to tuck my thumbs into my belt like that *shudder*). Enjoy, fine people!
*pulls out grenade launcher, realizes it’s already been used. puts away, pulls out heat seeking missiles* Mwahahahahahahaaaa, if you’re not Blue2th get in the ice bukkit.
that is the kind of action you were looking for, right, Dragon?
In this cornerrr, weighing about 12 oz the Blue2thFairy, in thisss cornerrr weighing an unknown weight, ABBBBBSTRRRRAAACCT. Ready, I want a clean throw-down. FIGHT.
Hahahaha alicia said a bunch of stuff, then she started talking about Pie! Mr. B totally agree. Love the way dude behind the desk has that “holy crap his hair just fell off” look on his face.
Careful B2th. Don’t fall for the I got a bong at home trick. Next thing you’ll know, you’ll wake up handcuffed to a tranny named Earline and all your weed will be gone.
I saw something about it on Dateline.
@Ms B: Woo! I didn’t know AA and DW were swingers like that. I know a swinging place that has a 38-for-1 special.
Or did you mean that in a platonic sense?
Yikes, not going to spend much time here without a reply button:
.1) Alicia’s trolling was a copy and paste of a Slate article by Christopher Beam in Oct ’08. Actually worth reading at their Website. Go to slate(DOT)com and search on fail. S/b right at the top.
. Most importantly: Is that John Lennon at :07 of the video???
sorry about that we got slammed with work that last hour and a half. *looks around* seems I’m still chamion! *Raises arms in glory and dared Blue2th to come back in the ring*
I was not trying to be mean. Just trying to laugh at the many times the same thing was said. Like we have been laughing at the FTW all Fail-long.
Lighten up!
I apologize MRN, my post with the link to Slate is now gone.
*pouts*
And Snavula, even with my missing comment it was pointed out at least three times prior.
Ms B, I snorked.
Ms B, it’s cool. I knew what you really meant by third wheel. Not all of us are quick to see innuendo where there wasn’t.
And Snavula, that wasn’t sarcastic douchebagism, we can find you some examples if you like though.
I just noticed that no one complained after 12 people had to explain what FTW means, but if you’re into that sort of prejudice and condescending feeling, I know a political party that’s right for you in the click.
It was an attempt at a pun run. Snavula, pay attention those were made a jokes. The fact that a spammer was called out is a serious notion. Starfish FTW means for the win.
I am not involved in any conspiracy of any sort!
*checks passport status and fake I.D. credentials*

Yes, thank you. I get it. We steal and hijack. We are mean and harsh. We are hasty and we gang up on poor, defenseless underdogs and we never give them a chance to explain WHY they are being asshats.
You’ve quite made your point, so you can stop now.
Ew when did I say that. I reposted to the response to admiral, it was not an attack at all. I don’t understand the reason for your tone. I thought I was being cheerful, as in now you are able to do it again. Arg I don’t get it…
Yes…accusing someone of stealing and hijacking threads is NOT nice. As for the other things, you said them only yesterday. It’s really very difficult to deny saying something when it’s sitting right there for anyone to read.
The hijacking part is a reference to a post I read, that you dragon posted, saying that number one thread jackers is another one you could add to the list. Not my words, thine own. So it was not an accusation, it was meant as a reference. I wish I knew the exact fail, and I did not say explicitly that you were harsh and mean etc. It was a general remark.
Trolls hijack threads. That conversation took place when someone hijacked the top thread in an attempt to get his name as close to the top of the fail as possible. I put “thread hijackers” on the list of trollish behavior. ‘Jacking is NOT cool, and as I said, accusing people of doing it is not nice. Since you are so concerned about people taking your words out of context, you might want to be a little more careful about doing it yourself.
Alright, I did not read the context. I am completely in the wrong on that reference and am sorry for that. Sorry for calling you thread jackers, I did not know it was a bad thing anyways.
.
I thought you meant that when you and aa start posting to each other and no one else is allowed in was what thread jacking meant. Which is why I thought it a good thing.
Sorry dragon, sorry AA, I didn’t mean to offend.
S’okay. No harm done. I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding, because it sounded really, really mean. That’s why I got mad. Added to the fact that you called me harsh and mean yesterday (yes, you did…I’m a “regular” so when you say the “regulars” are these things, you are saying that I am as well, especially when you are making reference to a thread that I posted on) I just had to wonder why you were using me for target practice.
Ya, definitely not my intention. You know I respect you Dragon. What I just responded to admiral on the pitch fail was that I was making a general. Yes though you posted there, I still meant it on the most general terms, as correlation does not mean causation. I don’t think regulars are harsh all the time, just they can be in instances. I guess it comes with being human. So I hope you did not take it personally. I guess that is why I did not see myself as attacking you. I wasn’t trying to have anyone in particular within my line of sight.
.
The only reason I used your name was as a backing up my statement about myself. That I can’t communicate properly what I mean. Not that you are anything bad or anything like that. Its just that I believed that you would be able to attest to me being a fudge up when it comes to getting my actual point across. I hope this comes across well enough. In the end you are a nice person, but I am sure you know that already. Thanks for giving me the chance to explain. I had something else, but it has slipped my mind. Sowwy once again. Oh and sorry that I attacked regulars in general, its not right or smart.
This brings to mind two things that I really drill into my students when it comes to writing. If you don’t mind my getting all professorial here for a moment, I’d be happy to share.
1. Don’t generalize. It only gets you in trouble. Be specific, use details, and make sure you cite your sources. This is where precision and context become very important.
2. Always remember–it is not your reader’s job to try to figure out what you mean…it is your job to communicate your meaning clearly to them.
There you go…the first two lessons my students learn! It takes them a long time and a lot of practice to actually put these ideas into effect, but it’s definitely worth it when they do.
*is suddenly much more confused now that the “Reply” button seems to have suddenly returned*

I want you to rub the (insert noun here) on the back of that (insert noun here) and (insert verb here) until the bottom of it gets really (insert adjective here).
I want you to rub the biscuit dough on the back of that blond’s head and get a fail about it on FB until the bottom of it gets really filled with troll comments.
I love the phrase, “like a vegetable in the army”. Did you make that one up? I Googled it, didn’t find it, but found an interesting site that I’ll leave in my name link for Leila.

sorry.
If you dont copy and paste this into 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours I hate
At last count, we had 760 comments. (Well, 761 now) I wonder what the percentage is of how many were actually about the fail. Anyone care to do the math?
Am I the only one who picked up on the horror and shame that flashes across this guy’s face? He is totally humiliated!
First, watch the delayed 2nd bow and how it is much more reserved than the first. Bowing is a sign of respect and honor in the Japanese culture. This man is distracted. He’s too proud to openly acknowledge his faux pas.
Next, note the rapid blinking of the desk jockeys. They are astounded. Then pay close attention to the shape of the poor victim’s eyes when the camera comes back. He has a flash of humiliation and sadness. If you can slow the video down and mute the sound, you will see that this is a serious disgrace and he has been publicly humiliated.
Perhaps I’ve seen one too many episodes of FOX’s Lie to Me, but this guy would have been on hari-kari alert 20 years ago…
The bottle of wine and three beers prior to my post thought it was an enlightening post, but the next-day hangover coupled with the horror of “oh my god, what other drunken messages did I send?” had another opinion.

Okay, I admit it! I did create alot of rules, but I-I-
*bursts into tears*
Awww DW now I feel like a silly person holding this stunt dummy.
What rules did you create?
Rules? Where we’re going, we don’t need rules.
*sigh of relief*
Where can one get a stunt double? I need one to sit at my desk…
We’re posting in one straight line; I want to break this rule.
Here’s your handbasket, B2th.
@ ELOR, You silly English types.
Maybe if we create and exception, Admiral??
Okay…who made BFF cry?

DW, perhaps we should try some exceptionally hard and fast rules?
Do you know Olie or Leana?
*stops crying*
Thanks for reminding me, DW
*runs, screaming, with arms flailing in the air, from room*
Oooh…put that together with a firm hand and a stiff drink, and I think you’re onto something there!
Ah hell!
*face palm then takes cookie*
B2th, if you are offering a line of cash, I’ll take some.
Aww, my post is awaiting moderation. xkcd.com go to /276. That b2f is what you reminded me of with your lines.
Would a good line of credit do AA?
Time for me to go now.
I’ll see all you happy nesters tomorrow!
*squeezes all*
AA: You should ask that man in black of you if he’s seen your cash.
Ciao Boobie.
CIO Boobie?
Ciao as in bye in Italian?
B2th: I don’t have to; I caught him red-handed.
I know, just being un-funny or is it “unfunny”?

Ms B, I was hoping to see some B2th on Abstract action, but…other stuff got in the way.
Hm. This popcorn needs more butter. Brb!
I really liked alicia’s comments, and I don’t see how they are trolling at all.. I actually read them and thought they were informative.
*Shield’s Ms. B’s eyes.*
It is better not to know.
Apostrophe attack. Erases above “‘”.
kidtruth, perhaps you aren’t aware that you are the only, and I repeat only, person who found them informative and not trolling.

I think it’s almost time to send Brewski to the glue factory. To send him to that great brewery in the sky. I’m not sure he can be saved.
Posting your school paper on failblog = fail
Don’t see how that helps, but its true anyways.

Remind me to never borrow a pencil from you.
Avis!! I didn’t know you were one of the big three!

Actually, Brewski, I think that makes her the third wheel.
@Ms B: Woo! I didn’t know AA and DW were swingers like that. I know a swinging place that has a 38-for-1 special.
Or did you mean that in a platonic sense?

Well I was thinking platonic.

Well, that’s what I get for going away for an hour or two…
Yikes, not going to spend much time here without a reply button:

Most importantly: Is that John Lennon at :07 of the video???
Ummm…. yeah, I don’t swing that way either, so…. uhhhh… anyway….
Of course it’s John Lennon. You see him for a longer time than you see the hairpiece.
But why is he on the video at all?
I was just trying to say that Avis is the odd-man out, so to speak. Totally didn’t mean it to sound like that!!!
Actually a win. He knows his hair has fallen off but continues on as if nothing has happened.
The show must go on.
*is hurt that MRN didn’t see my comment about Slate WAY up there^*
Sorry, but for some reason running through the comments in a linear fashion made me browse (glaze) over some of them, I guess.
Nesting is nice.
*sighs contentedly, curled up in a ball on the couch*
Guess she took that comment for granite.
sorry about that we got slammed with work that last hour and a half. *looks around* seems I’m still chamion! *Raises arms in glory and dared Blue2th to come back in the ring*
emporer, is this a pun run about rocks, or do you wan the bukkit?
For the record, Alice did not even write any of those comments. Her name links to the article she ripped them off of. She’s just a boring spammer.
Did Alice copy and paste her postings? Or did I read that wrong the last many times it was said?
You mean the one time it was said 20 minutes ago that I accidentally missed before posting my comment?
Sorry but did it really call for sarcastic douchbagism?
I was not trying to be mean. Just trying to laugh at the many times the same thing was said. Like we have been laughing at the FTW all Fail-long.
Lighten up!
Sarcastic douchbagism is our religion!
Superiority is optional.
Copy and Paste, FTW, Ms B.
now, now no fighting. without the nesting it’s hard to pick up on everything Ms B. *plays moderater*
Thank goodness a moderator jumped in quickly. “Awaiting moderation” is probably what got us into this reply mess.
*squeezes for any who wish to partake* see you all tomorrow, goodnight
I apologize MRN, my post with the link to Slate is now gone.
*pouts*
And Snavula, even with my missing comment it was pointed out at least three times prior.
Ms B, I snorked.
Slate is a great Website, BTW. I’ve been reading it off and on since it started over 10 years ago. I recommend it to all.
Ms B, it’s cool. I knew what you really meant by third wheel. Not all of us are quick to see innuendo where there wasn’t.
And Snavula, that wasn’t sarcastic douchebagism, we can find you some examples if you like though.
Sorry, granny is starting to rub off on me. I’ll have to work on an antidote.
There is no antidote to granny!
(Thank goodness!)
Time for a little Bed Peace.
I just noticed that no one complained after 12 people had to explain what FTW means, but if you’re into that sort of prejudice and condescending feeling, I know a political party that’s right for you in the click.
Last!
*sets out sign-up sheet for humo(u)r 101 class summer session*
Let’s just *boop* his nose to show him we’re all here for fun!
It was an attempt at a pun run. Snavula, pay attention those were made a jokes. The fact that a spammer was called out is a serious notion. Starfish FTW means for the win.
The pun run statement I just made was meant for abstract. Shale I give you a demonstration?
Hmmm…I thought I saw it move….and hey all I’m new.
Go to bed and failblog is fine. Wake up and its broke again. Coincedence?
Wait – when I went to bed, the blog was broke. When I got up – it was fixed.
It’s as if I’m on the other side of the world from you!
Woah, we should meet somewhere in the middle and perhaps the blog would be eternally functional!!
I think not, ATCF. IT’S TEH CONSPIRACY!!!!
I am not involved in any conspiracy of any sort!
*checks passport status and fake I.D. credentials*
I ummm have a flight to catch, yeah, and I’ll see you all soon…
Bff you have peanut-butter stuck to the roof of your mouth.
*offers milk*
Can someone translate this for me, I got it in a fortune cookie. It says:
“Listen to life, and you will hear the voice of life crying, Be!”
*peeks*
Still not fixed then!
Check this out! (clickie)
That’s…awesome.
Dear god, if this isn’t fixed by tomorrow…
*gnashes teeth*
Well…let’s provide entertainment for the time being.
Ok, I’ll start. Why did the chicken cross the road?
He saw the zebra crossing?
Yeah, I saw it
*GASP!!!*
It’s back!! The beloved reply button is BACK!!!
Woohooooooooooo! *wiggledances*
Anyone for a celebratory cuppa?
If it’s a cuppa Scotch, I’m in!
You can have a cuppa whatever you like my dear!
*pours a Scotch for DW*
*sups tea*
*tups Scotch*
Scotch on the lips, please.
Ooh…a classic favorite.
*sips*
*smooOOOOoooches*
*licks lips*
Mmmm, yum! That will have to hold me for now. Save some for later…
*holds up the bottle*
Plenty left!
*slowly fills a hip flask*
Later we can take a little tumbler!
I would never pass up one of your cordial invitations.
Happy, happy, joy, joy!
*wiggledances with jam*
*joins in the wiggledanceing*
Party!
*passes out party hats*
*dances with pals Judy, Ms B, and DW *
*realizes everybody left*
Ohhh, dancin’ with myself!!
*secretly watches Brewski from the corner*
*giggles from behind the curtain*
DAMMIT!
*snork*
Obliviate!
That’s the last of them, Judy…DAMMIT!
Close, but no. there was a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man over there.
*tries reading comments*
*tries again*
*doesn’t understand what’s wrong*
*can’t comprehend comments anymore*
*notices chronological order, no more nested comments, no more reply button*
*rises from the grave to take over the world*
OMFG, It’s fixed!
*freezes just as she bites into a tender, juicy grilled chicken leg*
Ummm…I plead the fifth.
Ummmm…I drink a fifth.
*thought losing herpes was a good thing*
*realizes this time it was a HAIR PIECE*
*rises from the grave to take over the world*
BRAAAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNNSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES!!! THE REPLY BUTTONS ARE BACK!!!
*the choir sings “Hallelujah”*
*does dorky dragon-dance of joy!!*
Shall we now go and make random replies to random things?
*is feeling naughty*
hehehe
O_O Ummm….can I watch?
You can watch me make random comments. That’s about all I’m good for tonight anyway.
Oh…
Now you and AA can have your stolen threads again, well and the ones that you start anyways.
Yes, thank you. I get it. We steal and hijack. We are mean and harsh. We are hasty and we gang up on poor, defenseless underdogs and we never give them a chance to explain WHY they are being asshats.
You’ve quite made your point, so you can stop now.
Ew when did I say that. I reposted to the response to admiral, it was not an attack at all. I don’t understand the reason for your tone. I thought I was being cheerful, as in now you are able to do it again. Arg I don’t get it…
Since you are accusing us of theft, you might as well go back to the baseball fail and catch up.
Yes…accusing someone of stealing and hijacking threads is NOT nice. As for the other things, you said them only yesterday. It’s really very difficult to deny saying something when it’s sitting right there for anyone to read.
The hijacking part is a reference to a post I read, that you dragon posted, saying that number one thread jackers is another one you could add to the list. Not my words, thine own. So it was not an accusation, it was meant as a reference. I wish I knew the exact fail, and I did not say explicitly that you were harsh and mean etc. It was a general remark.
Yes, Emp…the list of things that TROLLS DO.
Trolls hijack threads. That conversation took place when someone hijacked the top thread in an attempt to get his name as close to the top of the fail as possible. I put “thread hijackers” on the list of trollish behavior. ‘Jacking is NOT cool, and as I said, accusing people of doing it is not nice. Since you are so concerned about people taking your words out of context, you might want to be a little more careful about doing it yourself.
Alright, I did not read the context. I am completely in the wrong on that reference and am sorry for that. Sorry for calling you thread jackers, I did not know it was a bad thing anyways.
.
I thought you meant that when you and aa start posting to each other and no one else is allowed in was what thread jacking meant. Which is why I thought it a good thing.
Sorry dragon, sorry AA, I didn’t mean to offend.
other, …, was***
S’okay. No harm done. I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding, because it sounded really, really mean. That’s why I got mad. Added to the fact that you called me harsh and mean yesterday (yes, you did…I’m a “regular” so when you say the “regulars” are these things, you are saying that I am as well, especially when you are making reference to a thread that I posted on) I just had to wonder why you were using me for target practice.
Ya, definitely not my intention. You know I respect you Dragon. What I just responded to admiral on the pitch fail was that I was making a general. Yes though you posted there, I still meant it on the most general terms, as correlation does not mean causation. I don’t think regulars are harsh all the time, just they can be in instances. I guess it comes with being human. So I hope you did not take it personally. I guess that is why I did not see myself as attacking you. I wasn’t trying to have anyone in particular within my line of sight.
.
The only reason I used your name was as a backing up my statement about myself. That I can’t communicate properly what I mean. Not that you are anything bad or anything like that. Its just that I believed that you would be able to attest to me being a fudge up when it comes to getting my actual point across. I hope this comes across well enough. In the end you are a nice person, but I am sure you know that already. Thanks for giving me the chance to explain. I had something else, but it has slipped my mind. Sowwy once again. Oh and sorry that I attacked regulars in general, its not right or smart.
And that is a horrible response by me.
This brings to mind two things that I really drill into my students when it comes to writing. If you don’t mind my getting all professorial here for a moment, I’d be happy to share.
1. Don’t generalize. It only gets you in trouble. Be specific, use details, and make sure you cite your sources. This is where precision and context become very important.
2. Always remember–it is not your reader’s job to try to figure out what you mean…it is your job to communicate your meaning clearly to them.
There you go…the first two lessons my students learn! It takes them a long time and a lot of practice to actually put these ideas into effect, but it’s definitely worth it when they do.
Two lessons I will take to heart.
Caught up.
*is suddenly much more confused now that the “Reply” button seems to have suddenly returned*
*suffers from an overdose of “suddenly” and collapses into a lifeless form once again*
…I like you.
Reply button is so sexy!
Please refrain from getting kinky with inanimate objects.
*Doesn’t know what to do now that reply button is back”
Takes out ” and replaces it with *
*decides to put ” back in, to mix things up a bit*
Look, there is a little bunny on the floor. Bow again, see it? Now whatever you do…DON’T look at my head!!
alicia, i copied and pasted that into word, and its making it onto a youtube video some day.
Taste the rainbow

I want you to rub the (insert noun here) on the back of that (insert noun here) and (insert verb here) until the bottom of it gets really (insert adjective here).

Now Go For It.
I want you to rub the biscuit dough on the back of that blond’s head and get a fail about it on FB until the bottom of it gets really filled with troll comments.
That was nice. Any other takers?
I want you to rub the scouring pan on the back of that skillet and keep scrubbing until the bottom of it gets really clean.

Did that do it for you?
“scouring pad” not pan!
I luv nesting!!!!
Does not approve of Judy’s spelling of “luv”.
Pppffffbbbtttt!
*spittle flies*
Pretty funny
Ugly serious
Woooow, It just lies there on the floor and he just stands there like a vegetable in the army.
I love the phrase, “like a vegetable in the army”. Did you make that one up? I Googled it, didn’t find it, but found an interesting site that I’ll leave in my name link for Leila.
*snork*
That is a nugget of funny on the interwebs!
Check out this! I found this and just could not stop laughing.you can bike??
Isn’t that binary for 3.5?
children’s choir: “not funny!”
You might want to run before “BOOGY” gets hungry
(Do monsters use bukkits?)
omg that was exhausting.
did he die?
PLEASE DO NOT READ
DONT READ THIS
PLEASE
DO NOT READ
DO NOT READ
DO NOT READ
swear do not read…i dont even know why i’m participating I guess I,m still a bit paranoid.But really do not read this I swear.Also thanks this was really appreciated.
DO NOT READ:This is so stupid…But i love my mom deeply.And i dont want to take any chances.
sorry.
If you dont copy and paste this into 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hours I hate
It’s OK, sweetie. No one read it. Now go lay down and get some rest. Want me to read you a story?
Oh damn, I read it. Whatever shall I do now?
(Be the sound effects for the story, silly goose!
We’re going to read “The Little Engine that Could”. Can you do train sounds?)
Choo Choo!
I think I can, I think I can
Choo Choo!!
*makes clickety-clackety train track sounds*
I reeeeeeeeeelly didint get the fail…
Since its all in chiniese…
Actually, I’m almost positive that’s Japanese.
Or a glowing ET finger.
At last count, we had 760 comments. (Well, 761 now) I wonder what the percentage is of how many were actually about the fail. Anyone care to do the math?
0.002% with a +/- 2.4% given the difference in time zones.
And nesting works again!
(hello from home after a bottle of wine)
Mourning the demise of the reply button?
Alcohol is not the answer.
Homer Simpson: “To alcohol! The cause of – and solution to – all of life’s problems!”
hehe, john lennon at the beginning
the people sitting down looked so perplexed, lol
Why does the video go on for so long when the fail is done?
This is FAKE.
それからこれは日本の番組。
中国人じゃなくて日本人だぞw
Why the Japanese comment?
I mean, this OBVIOUSLY is a Japanese programme, thank you very much.
i don’t get it
Neither do I. These things are healt traps.
*inserts the missing h*
*moonwalks to the bus stop*
Am I the only one who picked up on the horror and shame that flashes across this guy’s face? He is totally humiliated!
First, watch the delayed 2nd bow and how it is much more reserved than the first. Bowing is a sign of respect and honor in the Japanese culture. This man is distracted. He’s too proud to openly acknowledge his faux pas.
Next, note the rapid blinking of the desk jockeys. They are astounded. Then pay close attention to the shape of the poor victim’s eyes when the camera comes back. He has a flash of humiliation and sadness. If you can slow the video down and mute the sound, you will see that this is a serious disgrace and he has been publicly humiliated.
Perhaps I’ve seen one too many episodes of FOX’s Lie to Me, but this guy would have been on hari-kari alert 20 years ago…
Ok, thkx 4 the explanation Aaron, but that is a way too sutil Fail…
LMAO…I completely agree.
The bottle of wine and three beers prior to my post thought it was an enlightening post, but the next-day hangover coupled with the horror of “oh my god, what other drunken messages did I send?” had another opinion.

thank you so much for removing the annoying intro sequence. i can finally watch failblog videos in peace again.
did he die?
I hope he died…
It’s a tarantula!
The first fail was from John Lennon’s Imagine.
How Dare you!

Ogura Tomoaki himself fails
does’nt the guy in the beginning of the video kinda look like an asian version of John Lennon!?! LOLOLOLOL
Haha Gross!
hilarious!
John Lennon at the beginning, or just a look alike?
