  1. DRoseDARs says:

    Dead last.

  2. SuzieQ says:

    What is he doing?? OMG…Intelligence fail…

    • Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

      Maybe it is foreign to him. I’ve been stuck at work for the past 10 years because I don’t know how to operate the huge revolving door.

      • nightshayde says:

        :shock:

        No wonder you have to rely on clones to run your errands with Malicite. :D *giggle*

        • Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

          Save me!!!!
          *lips quiver*

          He never gave her back. I think Malicite killed my clone. :(

          • Lurk ♀ says:

            I bet she died happy, though. :wink:

          • nightshayde says:

            I would save you but … I don’t know how to get in!

            *stares at revolving door*

            *is thwarted*

            • Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

              Use your head to RAM into it … I think.

              • nightshayde says:

                Hmmm. I’m pretty sure I heard on FailBlog that trying to break through the door with my head would be a bad idea.

                Ooooh – I have an idea!

                *picks up a troll & uses it as a battering ram on the door*

                Be careful as you walk out, Leila. There’s some broken glass here…

                • Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

                  YAY!!!!
                  Oh..uh. GAH!!!! Troll brains … ew!!!
                  *tippy toes around broken glass*
                  *…freezes. Afraid to step out*
                  *runs back up to the 10th floor*

                  AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

                  • Elsa_Mama says:

                    WOW – ran up to the 10th floor — you are in good shape!!

                    Here, let me put Mal coat on the floor over the brains — now you can get outside —

                    Go Leila … Be Free!!

                    • Elsa_Mama says:

                      Finds an ’s in the bottom of my purse — tosses it up onto the ens of “Mal” –

                      • Elsa_Mama says:

                        Argggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……
                        *deep breath*
                        Switches ens with end …
                        *deep breath*

                        • Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

                          Haven’t been outside in a long time. I think I will just sit here and wait if you don’t mind. :(

                        • Elsa_Mama says:

                          Wait for what????? Someone who can type?

                        • ROFL!!!

                          Maybe I developed a serious case of agorophobia?

                        • Wow, Sixkiller forgot to eat his/her/its wheaties today. Sad.

                          *pushes Sixkiler in a boiling vat of BaconLube along with some troll remains*

                        • Qwaz says:

                          The irony is strong with this one…

                        • coyote says:

                          Since English is obviously not your mother tongue I shall keep this simple Sixkiller. Leave.

                          By the by, I’ve told Sonny about your using his family name and he is pissed.

                        • Judy says:

                          Wow, that’s three of this type today.
                          What did we do to encourage this derision?
                          Maybe if i squeezed it…..?
                          Nah, nevermind. It would probably pop like an oozing pimple.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          He’ll be gone soon. Very gone.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          HAH!!! He was there just before I posted, and NOT there just after! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

                          *squeezes Emily*

                        • I have got to stop responding to troll posts. I should know better.

                          *puts head on desk and weeps* :cry:

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Wow, I missed it entirely! Well, maybe missed is not the right word.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          Definitely not the right word. “Escaped” might be better…

                        • Kairus says:

                          FFS if you guys wanna talk to eachother do it somewhere else.
                          You take the point of having the ‘comments’ section here when you only talk about crap instead of saying something about the video.

                          God you guys are annoying.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          We don’t Kair.

                          -Us

                        • coyote says:

                          What’s with all of the fools cropping up today?

                          We need a Failpeeps button. Whenever I try to be friendly and put a link to the website, so as to clue in the clueless, I get moderated.

                        • Aja says:

                          I thought the camerawork and lighting was excellent.

                        • nightshayde says:

                          Let me get this straight. People who come here once in a freakin’ blue moon want those of us who post here every day to go away and make room for them? :???: It doesn’t make sense.

                          If YOU are not part of this little community and YOU don’t like the way this little community runs itself, YOU don’t have to visit, and YOU certainly don’t have to stay. In fact, if you’re not willing to play nicely with others, we don’t want YOU here.

                          :roll:

                          *throws rotting vegetables at the mean people*

                        • lottofee says:

                          i’d like to take the site of them who post here every day. i discovered this site a few days ago and was very impressed by this group of a few people who seems to be a nice and friendly community, chatting with each other in a caring and loving manner AND also in a very funny way about the fails and i enjoyed it so much, that i like to just read their nice comments for each other and to take part (a bit) in the funny parts.
                          it is possible to not destroy their community and to talk about the fails on the other hand (therefor there are the different comment paths or not?). so don’t overreact kairus and talk on topic if you want to, and maybe you have to scroll down a bit to do that, but so what? they didn’t harm you!

                          ps i hope my english isn’t to bad, but i guess you got the point…

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          *squeezes lottofee*

                          It was just perfect. Thank you.

                          And coyote…leave off the h t t p : / / part, or put spaces in between. Then your post won’t get moderated and the link will show.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Hi lottofee
                          Thanks for the very nice post. We goof around and it’s all in good fun. We are good friends here. And it’s a remarkably diverse community. We have all kinds of people from many different diverse cultures. But we all have more in common than we have differences. Stop by again and say “hi”!

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Thanks, lottofee. I’ve been trying to capture the spirit of our community in a piece I’m writing and found your observation and point of view most helpful.

                        • Judy says:

                          Ditto!! Welcome, lottofee.
                          You’re not going to charge us for that nice comment, are you???

                        • Bearly Awake says:

                          Yeah, I kind of gave Mal the tip jar for his law school tuition. We’d have to start a new collection, and something that nice doesn’t come cheap! Thanks, Lottofee!

                        • James says:

                          I kind of have to agree with the asshole. I would come here to see funny comments about the video, or to find out random facts about the video (like “this is in such-and-such building in this city”) but there are very few. I’d post here but nobody else is talking about the video itself. It’s a few people having random side comments that have nothing to do with anything.

                          But, of course, the intelligence level is about 10000x that of YouTube posters.

                        • boxorox says:

                          guys, i just wanna know can i eat the rotten veggies?

                        • lottofee says:

                          you’re welcome folks.
                          i hope beeing squeezed by a dragon doesn’t hurt that much :)

                          i have to admit i understand the haters too a bit, because for everyone outside that little community the comments related to the fail are the interesting ones and sometimes they are hard to find in this big amounts of comment paths. but i think it depends on the quality of the fail. sometimes nearly all the upper comments are about the fail (i remember laughing realy hard reading the geography fail a few days ago), but i think only if it is a fail which is new to you guys, or interesting or whatever…

                          so i can see the problem, but i’m sure the solution is in realy using the different comment paths and in cooling down :)

                        • dave says:

                          I just look for the long comments when I’m trying to find something seriously discussing the fail. Either the long ones or the ones at the end.

                          I think it’s fine that the comments are more of a logged chat but it would be nice if there were a separate set of comments for serious discussion. Either way, failblog rocks.

                        • Kairus says:

                          Nightshayde is to say the least – idiot. Why do you thing we who comment ‘once in a full moon’ do that? If you were smart enough you’d understand that that only happens because you guys keep on playing like 5 year old here. *looks* *dies* *makes a really stupid thing* *replies in a really stupid manner* ffs, that’s just annoying and I don’t care If I’m one of the douchebags or whatever you want to call that makes the same type of comment, it’s true and it’s annoying. It’s not because you make those kind of comment that you’re a better ‘viewer’ or whatever you want to call it than me, I’ve been coming here as long or maybe longer than some of you and not making a *turns into a banana* comment that I have less rights. Just talk about the freaking video and get on with your lives…

                  • ZEROMACHER says:

                    I’d hate to say this Leila, but you just failed….Troll brains….

                • McFail says:

                  Damnation, my comment’s been moderated… well as a previous fail has told us, breaking through revolving doors is not recommended:
                  http://failblog.org/2008/08/28/revolving-door-fail

                • Troll patrol says:

                  Looks like my job is done.

      • SuzieQ says:

        You poor thing… :-(

        *ponders rescue mission for Leila*
        *realizes needs rescue crew*

      • MRN ♂ says:

        I got stuck on a broken escalator for over an hour one time.

      • -Wolf- says:

        Maybe someone wrote ‘PUSH’ on the inside of the doors

    • Eduardo says:

      Holy shit its a door, let me take care of this.. Leeroooooy Jeeeekiiins!

    • Brian says:

      Clearly he just wanted some lawsuit out of this. Notice how he waits for no one else to be around and continues to looks around to ensure that no one else is watching before starting through the doors. Also notice how he runs full force with his head down into the doors. Clearly he did not trip as his head was angled down like a bull before he even stepped forward, so as to brace for the impact. Then after the incident, he sticks around to hold his head and mope to the security personnel

      • Brett says:

        Yes, clearly he was trying to make a quick buck from a lawsuit. This is a FAIL for not noticing the security camera, and a FAIL to whoever posted the video for thinking he didn’t understand how to use a door.

  3. fuzz on The Doors concept says:

    This guy really did break on through to the other side.

  4. MRN ♂ says:

    There’s just so many times I can use
    ♪ Break on through to the other side ♪
    on these videos.

  5. Blah says:

    Stargate? lol

  6. fluffy says:

    He was trying to make it to platform 9 3/4.

  7. dan says:

    was he trying to do that? it looked like he waited until no one was around. maybe he wanted a lawsuit.

  8. Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

    He even read the instructions on how to operate the door right out of the folder he had.

    Sheeesh!!!

  9. nightshayde says:

    It’s pretty sad when someone can’t figure out a door. :neutral:

  10. Avis says:

    Lemme guess. A guy walks through the wrong part of the door?
    *is at her mothers house and using a laptop flatly refuses to play viddler videos*

  11. Pastor Zakilowskij says:

    Bull win!

  12. noname says:

    lol, why did he run through it?

  13. Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

    You break it. You buy it.

  14. Ms B ♥ says:

    Those darn new contraptions, like moving doors!

  15. tmwwmgkbh says:

    Did he trip? Or did he take a running start at the door? It looks like a running start…

  16. Badger Whisperer says:

    Turns out the door was 2 panels down. That was a window he was trying to get through

  17. Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

    Ignorant fool!!!

  18. Ibn Shahid says:

    What the?!?! There was definitely something else going on there… dude looks dazed and confused from the start. I just refuse to believe there are this stupid out there. I must have hope in humanity…. must .. have..

  19. Aja says:

    Open Sesame

  20. rsook says:

    seriously? =\

  21. zooomz says:

    It looks like he wanted to do that….he looks around then charges it….

  22. Nuuute says:

    When jim saw no handle on the door he knew racist whites or Chinese had created it. It was too hard for the people in the community to use and so he destroyed it.

  23. Jodutt says:

    LMFAO! Noob

    such a dumbass

  24. Judy says:

    Well, this looks like a good place for the Monday BBQ. I’ve got burger patties with all the fixin’s, including cheez for those of you of the kitteh persuasion! Fire up the grill for me, Dragon?

  25. ruben says:

    What is wrong with you and your racist comments? there is not even enough definition to identify the race of this poor stupid men.

  26. Grouel says:

    That was the only way he faound to deal with the “problem”? What an idiot. No racist comment here. Anybody who does such a stupid thing is an idiot.

  27. Avis says:

    *THWACKS with a rotting hallibut*

  28. Raptor007 says:

    The sad thing is, US companies outsource engineering work to guys like this.

  29. rosieeeee says:

    What a smashing way to use an automatic door…

  30. Opie says:

    Makes you wonder what he does when he uses an automatic toilet. “Oh no! Can’t find the flush! I better just scoop …”

  31. What is he doing!? I love how he finally just lowers his shoulder and runs full speed. This made me laugh so hard!

  32. Laura says:

    God, you lot are all proper nerds with your annoying long running virtual roleplay. Just comment on the fail and leave it.

  33. Ms B ♥ says:

    Anybody watch “Better Off Ted”? This reminds me of an episode they had with new motion sensors.

  34. ruben says:

    There are A LOT of U.S. people doing things even more stupid, and more frequently; there are a lot of retrograde minds and with no culture, that is why they offend non U.S. people (or even non caucasian) whenever they have the opportunity… seriusly… >_<

  35. Badger Whisperer says:

    Should’ve gone to specsavers

  36. LDS says:

    Man that has got to sting! He uses his knee as a table and his head as a battering ram. What made the guy run through the glass so fast anyways? That’s the kind of guy you want playing football. Seriously maybe they were towing his car away outside.

  37. Aja says:

    ♫ I love the sound of breaking glass
    Deep into the night ♫

  38. Anita says:

    Okay, so how’d he go inside then?

  39. Kiddo says:

    he entered the building but doesn’t know how to get out of it again? XD
    If it was another…normal…door, he should have used THAT and not try to force his way out XD

    And I think he was maybe too proud to ask any one?

  40. pharkon says:

    This is obviously photo shopped. The way the glass breaks is all wrong :/

  41. kitty says:

    Maybe he just flipped out and ram the door on purpose?

  42. bencott says:

    I really don’t understand this one. I’m trying to go through the mental process that would take someone to the point of saying, “F*ck it, I’m just going to run though this pane of glass.” Maybe the door was open when he walked in, so he assumed it would be open when he went to leave. He returns to find a glass wall where a door was and perhaps he feels trapped. He checks his papers to see if there’s any reason or warning that he won’t be able to leave the way he entered, finds nothing and doesn’t know what to do. Still, why wouldn’t he approach it and make sure before barreling through. I think my empathy is wasted much of the time.

    • Kiddo says:

      I don’t think he searched something in the papers, he just wanted to hide his hesitation and pretended that he’s somehow busy and maybe hoped that someone else would go through the door.

      He doesn’t have any patience XD

  43. Alexthecomie says:

    AUTOMATIC SLIDING DOOR TERRORIST!!!!!!!

  44. Katt, Lord of Mashed Potatoes says:

    One word for this dude; Braaaaiiiinnnssss

  45. César Barroso says:

    why does this website keep ripping off collegehumor?

    • Sbri says:

      I don’t know, they do it to break.com too.

      • Neil says:

        I guess it wouldn’t be so bad, but they take another sites content and add their little logo to the corner making you think they originated it.

    • Neil says:

      That is funny – I was just thinking that it seems like they are sending all their items to me twice, but you are right – I’m seeing it on CH first, then here.

  46. BluePrint says:

    There’s no way he’s an engineering student, that clearly was an experiment in large scale quantum tunneling.

  47. ok, I have to admit, I’ve done something simmilar. I guess it might be worse, because I did know how the door worked.

    When I used to work at Lowe’s (I love saying that…the used to part) I was walking by the glass sliding door once and I saw my friend outside. I was so excited to see them that I ran to go out the door. It opened most of the way, but I still ran into the edge and popped it off the swing hinge. I am laughing so hard at myself right now! *snork* It was great, because when I got out there, my friend was looking at me like she was afraid of me and there were customers too. wow!

  48. nightshayde says:

    Heh – I can see it now!

    The guy demonstrates exceptional balance (with his notebook on his knee) before plunging his head through the glass.

  49. Wakko says:

    Wait a second how did he get into the building in the first place if he didnt know how 2 use the door =S

  50. latino says:

    Pendejooo!!!! jajajaja

  51. Brenduh says:

    ok.. stupid.. you can tell he did that on purpose.. the way he looks around.. lowers head and runs… he’s just trying to get paid

  52. hammykins says:

    On a related note – In the future, if you’re ever going to make iced tea, never ever pour boiling water into a glass jug.

  53. Nick says:

    that’s how i get through doors…

  54. Leila ♀ back to being plain says:

    Random comment: I hate pecan and brazilian nuts. :(

  55. Ithappens says:

    I like the guy who does the “over his head” thing to the camera that was funny, just shows that not everyone in the world grows up in a place with technology that we take for granted.

  56. JMofromTO says:

    What was he thinking?? Why would he run into a pane of glass, even if he didn’t understand the concept of an automatic door? I think this deserves and EPIC fail! ☺

  57. gLIQUOR says:

    raised by birds..

  58. Not Raining says:

    Looks like he’s got a little captain in him.

  59. Jack says:

    acojonante!

  60. Chanidividus says:

    (Way OT)
    *Cough, cough*
    Toaster oven fail. I just burned two peices of bread into little black chunks of charcoal. My whole store is full of smoke. Blech.

  61. Harkoan says:

    THATS SOME WEAK GLASS

  62. Nerte says:

    Seems he saw the door closing at the start, and then when he walked close by (but not close enough) and the door didn’t open, he thought it wouldn’t open.

    Surprises me the first thing he tries is ramming through it, though. I would definitely first try to move closer (which would solve his problems) and try to move the door with my hands. If it still won’t budge, then I’d go get help. But ramming through the door will definitely be my very last option XD

    Why did he get a running start & put his head down? It’s like he was the bull & the glass was the fighter!

    on the up side, he has really good balance, and a really hard head. that has to count for something in life.

    The best part is how much time he spends contemplating what he should do with the situation. Its sad that the best answer he can come up with is to ram it with the top of his head.

    I wonder why he never thought to touch the door or feel around. He was watching it like it was a pack of animals surrounding his camp site. In fact he charged at it like it was all or nothing. Poor fool

    there was a young man from Darjeeling
    Who travelled from London to Ealing,
    Where a sign on the door
    Said “Don’t piss on the floor”
    So he carefully pissed on the ceiling.

      There was a young lady of Ryde,
      Who ate some green apples and died.
      The apples fermented
      Inside the lamented,
      And made cider inside her inside.

    Why did he stick around after? I think that if I just ran head first thru a glass door, I would keep going and hope that no one can identify me.

    Wonder why Islam opposes modernity?

    • gmc360 says:

      ^actually, I see it now. This IS one small battle within the larger war of Islam vs. Modernity. Score 1 for Islam, poor little door didn’t stand a chance against Mohamed.

      • TMI Service says:

        I’m sure you already know this, but, actually, what we see is that you are an idiot. Do you know any algebra, or is it too advanced for you? “Algebra” is an Arabic word.

        There would be no Western “modernity” without Islam. The Western European Renaissance was in large measure spurred by European’s contacts with the more advanced mathematics, philosophy, and science of the Islamic world.

        • TMI Service says:

          And, “hand to God,” what some Muslims oppose in “modern” Western culture is the fact that we so often put material gain and profit above quality of life issues and ethical sensitivities.

          One Iranian asked not long ago why many in his society disliked American culture, for example, answered, “Because you do not go home to your families for lunch.” It may sound absurd, but there is a powerful wisdom there that many of us in the West are totally insensitive to.

        • pootpoot says:

          Yeah, well, it’s a pity that over all that spurring the European Renaissance (do you mean the one of the 12th century? you can’t mean “the” Renaissance in the 15th-18th century), they forgot to evolve themselves.

          No, seriously, I’m not going to dissect your argumentation to discuss where I find it tendential or questionable, as it isn’t fundamentally wrong. I’ll just say that I find it overall pointless in that no one argued the role of the Islam (we’re talking culture here, not religion) 700 years ago. The Islam *of today* hasn’t evolved a great deal in centuries and is in many ways an archaic culture reminiscent of the dark ages.

          Plus gmc360 obviously referred to the Islamic religion. Or confused it with Islamic culture. Or whatever. He made a joke about guys he probably doesn’t like. Which might have less to do with good ol’ arrogant Americocentricism and more with the problem that the Islam doesn’t exactly do its best to be likeable.

          • Deckard says:

            I agree, and I think the original comment, while fairly crude, isn’t far off the mark. The Islamic world slid far back down the slope of progress after their days as the custodians of Western culture. Denying this fact is pointless.

            • Fluck says:

              I just had to interject because, despite being a fundamentalist athiest, I’m not prejudiced against any particular religion; they all deserve the same scrutiny and ridicule. Let’s face it, ‘the terrorists’ haven’t done the best for the cause of showing Islam’s shining glory, but they’ve brought attention to their plight – based in genuine human rights issues – and this kind of ‘terrorism’ has throughout history been one of the few avenues for resolution or even recognition of real and consistent human suffering and opression.

              Just because all Muslims are terrorists doesn’t mean we should forget that all Christians rape children and the Jews undermine any hope of unity or equality in the world to promote their selfish greed with Scientology clumsily emulating in tow. And I’m sorry if you’re a part of a religion not represented by this list. I’m sure you’re just as mindlessly indocrinated and willing to die for your cause despite pretty much all of your prophets and dieties saying not to.

              You do needa get your crew some air time by killing some civilians, though.
