  2. Ms B ♥ says:

    Aaaaaand there it goes.

  3. Mentos says:

    The camera guy saw this coming the entire time.
    .
    Communication fail.

    • Julius says:

      it might be hard to see, but they’re talking danish, and the guy says it. it was supossed to roll out and a rope was hanging in the front, but it broke and therefore it kept tolling

      translated: “Oh no the rope broke… this is live televison”

  4. Bakpao says:

    I bet it’s the camera guy’s fault

  5. This happens waaaay too often. =)

    Hamstring pull win

  7. technicolor says:

    And you don’t stop.

  8. this almost happened to me last week. I pulled my e-brake, but when i released the foot brake my car started to roll backward. I said, “eep!!” and but my foot back and torqued the hell out of my e-brake. put the car in 1st gear to make sure it wouldn’t roll backwards and then forgot. so when i turned it back on later, it lurched forward and stalled. arrg

  9. Oskar says:

    Happened in Denmark – Live :P

  10. Baron Hardback says:

    Doesn’t it say it’s fitted with tracking technology? If so, they needn’t have run after it. Escape is futile.

  11. KatzVonD♀ says:

    I wish they had shown where it ended up at the end.
    Did it hit a tree?
    Fall in a ditch?
    Go off a cliff?

  12. DICKtator says:

    Poor grandpa falling and apparently tearing his ligaments … OUCH!

  13. Cloral says:

    Best to let it go once it gets moving.

  14. Jakob says:

    Happened on a danish morning show. The car was tied to a rope, which broke, resulting in a hilarious clip.

  15. Jakob says:

    Happened on a danish morning show. The car was tied to a rope, which broke, resulting in a hilarious clip. You can see the guy leaping for the small piece of rope still attached to the car.

  16. Hay Kids! I done for the day! Yay! Did I miss anything?

    Note: Please comment on my new Avatar.

  17. hi Skwerlly Bob, I like your clicky! I can’t really see what that is in front of the squirrel….. *refrains from commenting*

  18. toomuchredbull says:

    had he caught the car it would only have been the more funny.

    lorena bobbit

  21. lmao says:

    told ya

  22. Baune says:

    i saw this live xD

  23. chez says:

    I did this while sweeping the garage for my parents when I was 17. They let me pull the car (a Lexus) out and I was halfway done when I heard my mom screaming “THE CAAAAAAARRRRR!!!” If they’d decided to put the pond in the front I’d still be in debt.

  24. Sokleen says:

    I was actually watching that particular morning show when it happend :D

    I laughted my freaking ASS off! And the footage where recorded in the Middle of the danish amusement park Tivoli.

  25. Malicite says:

    This happened to my car a month ago…well sorta… The e-brake failed and the car rolled down a hill while I was at work. I came home to find it at the bottom of the street (thankfully didn’t hit anything) with two $100 parking tickets and an egg someone introduced to the roof of my car. Probably one of the most annoying moments of my life. Thank you Faiblog for reminding me of my pain……..and debt….

    • jam says:

      Mine did that while I was driving down a hill. I managed to steer it into a side street after swinging it rather quickly around a T junction. Luckily, I was the only road user at that time. :)

      • Malicite says:

        Thank goodness! I’m not sure if I can handle that… I would probably just mess myself and start crying…but, then again, men are babies.

      • Chanidividus says:

        I did it too, while driving, but it was completely brake-unrelated. I was driving up a very steep, very high hill in my old junk car, when the transmission failed. The car rolled to a stop, and then proceeded to roll all the way back down the hill. I couldn’t really brake, because where would I go if I had?? Embarrassing!!

        • Qwaz says:

          I thank you all for putting a fear of learning to drive in me.

          • Ms B ♥ says:

            Oooh! You still have a viewing of Red Asphalt in your future? Poor soul…

            • Qwaz says:

              “Red Asphalt”?
              Sounds like when I go out and there are red cars EVERYWHERE.
              You’d think green would be a popular color out here.

            • Skratdaddy says:

              How about: Signal 30, Drive And Survive, Highways Of Agony, Mechanized Death, Wheels of Tragedy and The Last Prom. Highways of Agony was my favorite.

            • ZombieApocalypse says:

              Red Asphalt rocked!
              .
              *has always been a little warped this way*
              .
              Qwaz, the things to remember are the same as they always are (pay attention, don’t panic, expect the unexpected), the problem in a car is things happen much faster. Therefore people tend to panic (bury face in hands, close eyes, and scream until things stop – by the way this is invariably the worst possible answer).
              .
              When I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I was playing in an uncles old pickup truck on his farm. The truck was parked next to a barn, at the top of a short hill leading into the duck pond. Everything was going fine until I pushed in the clutch and noticed everything started moving. In a panic, I popped the clutch and slammed on the brakes – which was a useless gesture on a dirt hill. The truck slid into the duck pond anyway.

              • Qwaz says:

                Gah!
                *Buries face in hands, closes eyes and screams*

              • Malicite says:

                Don’t forget that the other drivers on the road suck and are likely drunk. That’s my logic at least… *keeps his blood pressure good and high*

                • Chanidividus says:

                  I find that calmly and evenly “informing” the other idiots on the road that they are an (insert favourite appropriate expletive here) in a baby-talk voice while alone in my car keeps my blood pressure down and a smile on my face while I drive. :)

                  • Qwaz says:

                    My mom makes combinations of here favo(u)rite expletives.
                    I find it fun just to see which unique ones come about.

                    • ZombieApocalypse says:

                      My steering wheel spends more on therapists than most countries spend on defense.
                      .
                      The tables turn when I’m on a motorcycle though, I ride with the assumption that everyone on the road:
                      1. can not see me
                      -AND-
                      2. if they can see me, they want to kill me.

                      • Qwaz- Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon. says:

                        People tend to feel that way towards zombies anyway, so I wouldn’t worry too much.

                        • LackingSanity says:

                          Well, it is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains, so I think my precaution is not entirely unfounded. *cocks shotgun*

                        • Qwaz- Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon. says:

                          While your precaution isn’t entirely unfounded, I must protect our resident zombie. Tell me, are you bringing telletubies? Your answer greatly affects my next action.

                        • Qwaz- Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon. says:

                          I’m just going to assume you will.
                          *Hoists Spartan Laser*
                          Ready when you are.

                      • Chanidividus says:

                        I always make a biiiiig point of giving a motorcycle a good gap when I’m following, or if they are in a parallel lane, I make sure there is more than enough room between me and the car ahead of me for them to change lanes if needed. Gotta watch out for them!!

                        • Malicite says:

                          Yeah… Motorcyclists terrify me. At least with a car, a “love tap” wouldn’t end with someone turning to ground beef on the pavement…

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          Having been the victim of a “love tap” roughly a decade ago, I know what you mean. I can’t fathom those people you see riding crotch-rockets and wearing nothing more than a tee-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. I guess they never spent an afternoon having gravel picked out of their skin in the ER.

                        • Judy says:

                          *has been there*
                          *still has some gravel*

                      • that’s good. many times people try to treat motorcycles like bicycles, they try to pass you, stop next to you (instead of behind) at stop lights, make turns in front of you from behind, those are just a few of my favs. grarg! be safe out there all of you motorists on motorcycles!

                    • twice before i was 5 years old, i managed to get my dad’s car in gear and he had to chase it down to stop it. i was behind the wheel, standing on the seat having a blast! lucky he caught up because i was heasding to a brick wall.

                      am i the only one who was not required to watch “Red Asphalt”? it sounds like fun.

                  • chez says:

                    I just go the speed limit on cruise in the fast lane. Semis hate it.

                • i have avoided countless accident by assuming all other drivers are drunken idiots! I just avoided having my boyfriend killed by an a-hole who blew a stop sign because i thought he just might not and slowed down in case…. I’m awesome! sometimes..

              • Skratdaddy says:

                Remember to always carry a towel then “Don’t Panic”.

              • Judy says:

                Did you die?

                • ZombieApocalypse says:

                  *points out it wasn’t him who said it this time!*
                  .
                  A little inside, yes. Got the spanking of a lifetime in front of uncles, aunts, cousins – and the torture didn’t stop there either. Last time I heard this story being re-told again was a few years ago when we were visiting for my Grandmother’s funeral (roughly 30 years after the event). Good ol’ Dad, if there’s anything he loves more than embarrassing me it’s making me feel six inches tall as he does so!

          • Avis says:

            And people wonder why I don’t drive. At all.

            • toomuchredbull says:

              because all your cars are rented out!!!!!!!!!!!

              (Finally, I’ve been waiting so long to make that joke)

              • Avis says:

                Next time, try harder.
                ;)

                • toomuchredbull says:

                  I’ve been following this blog for a few months now and not once have I seen someone note the suspicious similarity between your name and that of the international car rental agency.

                  • Qwaz- Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon. says:

                    You just kind of learn to accept these things on this blog.

                  • Dragonwriter says:

                    Trust me. It’s happened. Ad nauseum.

                    • Avis says:

                      I’m trying this new thing, it’s called lettigo. I don’t think it’s gonna work for terribly long, but it’s helped me ignore a few things. ;)
                      Oh, and *squeeze*!

                  • Avis says:

                    It’s happened a few times before, but I usually point out that my name has more to do with birds than with rental cars. It is merely a coincidence that the names are alike.

                    • toomuchredbull says:

                      a name is nothing more than an expression of oneself. Similar to art. and, similar to art, is open to interpretation by the observer. And how one interprets these art pieces is really subjective regardless of the intentions of the artist. Thus, your name, which you intended to have what to do with birds, has been interpreted (by me) to have what to do with car rentals.
                      and perhaps it is this, the fact that your name is open to so many interpretations, that I appreciate your comments so much.

                  • a couple days ago someone did make the same obvious joke. you might’a missed it.

                    • Avis says:

                      Was I even here when that happened?

                      • i think so. i have an awful bad memory when it comes to when things happened. but i do remember what happened. i could try and find it, but it may take me an hour (have teething 16month old)

                        • Avis says:

                          Eh, it’s not important. It happens so often anyway. And you have my sympathies. My step sister is visiting with her 20 month old. I am told her teething was awesome and terrible to behold. Having met the child, I believe it.

                        • thanks! compared to my oldest, this is actually a breeze. 2 maybe 3 days of restlessness. not so much crying but not sleeping so good, but then we are happy agin for a few weeks. she had 4 pop up almost simultaneously then the above schedule for the next three teeth.

                          oldest was a nightmare for teething, but she got them all pretty quickly that it didnt last long, just felt that way.

                    • toomuchredbull says:

                      I suppose I did…. ma bad peeps.
                      next time i’ll leave my bag of obvious, nauseating jokes at home.

        • Admiral Apparent says:

          It never happened to me, but when I was a teenager and before I learned to drive, a neighbor’s young child managed to get the family station wagon rolling down an urban alleyway right towards me. I didn’t even know the kid was in there at first, all I heard was the screams of the mother. She had been unloading groceries when the car rolled away from her. The car was only going 5 MPH, tops, so I took a few steps alongside, opened the door, scooted in and stepped on the brake. The car was not running, but it was in neutral with the key in the ignition.

    • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

      Yeah, but was the egg OK?

  26. nightshayde says:

    Work teased me!!! I was able to see this video & then a few more … and then the little gremlins in I.T. put the filters back up.

    *sigh*

  27. RankMyTyping says:

    That guy defiantly sprained an ankle.

  28. Byano says:

    Notice how the white haired dude at the end becomes a zombie when he stands up.
    Soon we’ll see an outbreak in the news, just wait!

  29. affie says:

    haha and the reporter says : “nej nej nej, stop den, stop den! Det er direkte fjernsyn!”
    (translation: “No no no, stop it, stop it, it’s live TV!”)
    LMAO

  30. Well, let’s hope he didn’t brake anything.

  31. Qwaz- Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon. says:

    *Sigh*
    That’s it for me right now, FailBloggers. I’m out.
    To some of you, I will see you on thursday. To others, I’ll probably see you tonight.
    The Journey to Warped Tour begins tommorrow.
    Bye all!

  32. Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

    It’s not an emergency brake – it’s a make-your-car-smell-funny-lever.
    (This is Mitch Hedberg’s joke, I couldn’t find a video but here is a good substitute)

  33. Aja says:

    Another Hand Brake Fail.

  34. Ori says:

    Can someone please tell me if the language is Norwegian (norsk) or not?

  35. gaynorvader & Patricia (finished her exams) says:

    Quack!

  36. Kacky says:

    Ouch, that poor guy with the bum leg

  37. Aja says:

    Remember, En Ra Ha!

  38. KaleyLane says:

    Lol…that was blatantly gonna happen! But did te dude who ran after seriously think he could stop it?

  39. nightshayde says:

    Would someone please make Sarah Palin leave the top of the page (I’m getting a banner ad for her PAC)? I pretty much never need to see her again.

    Ever.

  40. ThaBlob says:

    it happens too often. At the end…Lumbago win!

    OM’er!!!

    That stupid guy didn’t even throw away his cigarette when running after it XD

    You are all DOOMED, CAUSE I AM… … Your mother

  58. Marekatt says:

    Would be more funny if you know what he was saying ^^ He’s saying “cut! cut! cut! cut! cut! cut! Oh no, we’re live!”. That’s what he worries about…

  59. steffendkh says:

    Dansk fail når det er bedst !

  60. i like what they did with the energy conservation! take a bus, save energy, or even take a car in your bus and save energy whilst sitting in your own car!

  61. nico says:

    haha they are talking danish….when he sayd”nej ik i direkte fjernsyn” “no not in live television”xD

  62. Damn there are some idiots on here. Those who think it the parking brake failed or that the commentator should have told him haven’t thought about the fact the car had to get in there and there is obviously no room for a driver to get in and out.
    In these motor-homes you must use a front wheel parking brake car and you only need to go far enough in for the front wheels to be off the ramp and in a specific spot, apply the parking brake and get out the car is then hydraulically slid into the vehicle.
    The driver obviously forgot to apply the brake when putting the vehicle in there or more likely, was giving a demonstration and wasn’t aware that the cars ejecting system had been activated.

  63. heppe says:

    wow de er godt nok dumme… hold kæft…. damn they are stupido those danish folks;D

  64. OOONNN says:

    Damn I love then danish people fail on the tv =3 even though that im danish my self
