    “Excuse me, do you have any Grey Poupon?”

  2. Ms B ♥ says:

    Sideswiped and upstaged.

  3. fuzz on the concept says:

    That freaky parachute is giving me parachute-anoia.

  4. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    “There he is! Get him!”

  5. Christian says:

    Where can I write a letter to thank that parachute?

  6. ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

    Everyone’s a music critic these days.

  7. jam says:

    Woop for Judy! (again… *sigh*) :D

  8. Admiral Apparent says:

    Foiled again!

    Why did it stop right at the good bit?

    Never turn your back on a drifter.

    AND WHY DOES OBAMA KEEP ASKING ME TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL?!?!?!?

     Thanks for listening,
    I feel better now....
  12. JasonK says:

    Reminds me of that guy in Asterix & Obelix singing…

  13. grond says:

    Did he died?

  14. huluvu42 says:

    well,

  15. └Ï╥╥╚ ε Girl - Now With >ZAP!< Dot Org! says:

    That’s a deep subject.

  16. Stig says:

    Just to inform you; it’s not a parachute, it’s a paraglider with a crappy pilot..

  17. Notu says:

    Time for a world tour.

  18. JasonK says:

    ΟΜΓ. No. Wut happen’d to my comment??

    Grah NoooOOOOOoooo….

  19. Pennyforth says:

    I’m somewhat disapponted….I was hoping for an accidental Boot to the Head from paraglider to singing guy. Guess I’ll have to be satisfied with just a ‘Chute to the Head.

  21. Meph says:

    It seems more like a win than a fail!

    • ZombieApocalypse says:

      Some people see a glass that’s half full, others see a glass that’s half empty.

      I see a waiter that hasn’t been doing his/her job!

      • A Life Less Luminous says:

        And an engineer sees a glass with a 100% safety margin.

        Or over-specified, if you prefer.
        • Brewski says:

          I see a glass that should be filled with beer instead!

          • Say g'night, Gracie says:

            Make mine a margarita, please.

            • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                Are we opening the bar?
                *sits down*
                Could I have a beer, please? This week’s been a killer…

                • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                  *hands SuzieQ a shot o’ Cabo Wabo*

                  This is better.

                  • Brewski says:

                    Tequila? Better than beer??
                    Sacrilege!!
                    *hands beer chaser to SuzieQ*
                    *pours and sips an Irish stout*

                    • SuzieQ says:

                      Thanks for the brewski, Brewski… ;-)
                      Never had tequila…not sure I want it, either…

                      • Say g'night, Gracie says:

                        If you’re not going to drink it, I will. :mrgreen:
                        *buttersqueezes*

                        • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                          Brewski, I’m a stout man myself – but I gotta say that Cabo or 1800 with a limed Negra Modelo for a chaser is about as good as it gets :)

                        • Brewski says:

                          Ah, don’t be so self-critical, WN. You aren’t that stout. Just big-boned.
                          [beersnob]
                          If I do Mexican beer, I usually go for Pacifico, myself. Or Dos Equis Dark on tap. I haven’t had a Negro Modelo in a while, but seem to recall it’s pretty good. The one Mexican beer I find the worst is also the best-marketed: Corona. I have never had a bottle that tasted fresh, it always tastes slightly spoiled and skunky.
                          [/beersnob]

                        • SuzieQ says:

                          Blogmonster, quit eating my comments!!!!!

                          Help yourself, Gracie!
                          *offers tequila*
                          *squeezies*

                        • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                          Nah, I’m just medium sized. But I definitely like stout – you ever have the pleasure of drinking XX Stout in the Bridgeport pub(s) in Portland? Nectar of the gods. Sheaf Stout on steroids.

                          And yep on the Corona comments :)

                        • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

                          [beersnob]
                          Mind you, I’ve had fresh Corona, and been unimpressed. That said, it’s the clear bottles causing that Brewski. It allows the beer to get light-struck, which leaves that skunky taste.
                          [/beersnob]

                        • WhoaNellie >ZAP!< Dot Org says:

                          I don’t trust a beer I can see through.

                        • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

                          That’s an excellent policy.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Yep. If it’s a clear bottle, I generally won’t buy it. Unless it’s been very carefully handled. The best beers aren’t sold in clear bottles for that very reason. They’re dark brown. They do clear purely as marketing; it makes the beer taste crappy.
                          Qualifier: some stouts and porters are fairly hearty, and can withstand a clear bottle without noticeable problems. Samuel Smith has some beer in clear bottles I believe, and it generally tastes excellent.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Italics fail!

                        • Aja says:

                          Beer in clear bottles? What an amazing concept.

                        • Dragonwriter says:

                          MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm. There’s a restaurant here called Flatbranch that has its own microbrewery…wonderful stuff! They make a beer called “Oil Change Stout” that is WONDERFUL! Now I want to go have one. :grin:

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          That reminds me, I’m due for an oil change and lube. :)

                        • Brewski says:

                          Hold on… I need to go buy a plane ticket.

                        • Brewski says:

                          Oh wow. That was unfortunate comment placement.

                        • Admiral Apparent says:

                          Leave your turkey baster at home when you visit. ;-)

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          *RIGLMS*

                        • ZombieApocalypse says:

                          Oil Change Stout sounds right up my alley! I wish it was the weekend already …

                          *drools all over self*
                          *looks like he drowned and finally purged a lake from his lungs*

                *hands rest of bottle to WN*

      • JMixx says:

        I see a glass that is twice as big as it should be.

  22. Luiz says:

    im from brazil, u probably didnt notice cause its in portuguese, but the lyrics of the song he is singing are ironic, cause its like about flying, going up, rising… and then suddenly he is hit in the head by a falling parachute

  23. I really like the new video style at the end with the powered by. It goes a little too fast, but over all, an improvement.

  24. daniel says:

    uh, where’s the rest of th video? I want to see the aftermath

  25. Will-O'-Wisp says:

    “Voar, Voar Subir, Subir” is portuguese for “Fly, Fly, Rise, Rise”, How Ironic huh ?

  26. Erick says:

    Well, it’s kinda ironic as well as because, in Brazil, “chute” means “kick”, so… if it were a real parachute, it’d be a bilingual irony. Lol. Joke fail.

  27. Foo says:

    FAIL FAIL. No carnage.

  28. diesel says:

    LOL music translation: fly, fly, going up…. This guy is a singer from the 80´s here in Brazil.

  29. AnanasJonas95 says:

    Haha ! So funny ! lol xD

  30. mariana says:

    the music talks about flyng, falling in love, and those things [fail again]

  31. Johnny Mattress says:

    I can’t see the video. Did he die?

  32. I R SMRT says:

    wheres the aftermath? we must SEE PAIN!

  33. barbieQ says:

    Oh chet, I was singin’ this friggin’ song a moment ago. LMAO.

  34. Ties17 says:

    the funniest thing about this video is that he was a famous singer in Brazil and he was singing his biggest hit.. ” flying flying… going up, going up…”
    hahaha!

  35. Rodrigo says:

    He does not died. This was in a documentary, from a tv host from the 80′s, and, no, sadly, he does not died. :(

  36. says:

    The ironic thing is that the song he was singing is named “Icaur´s Dream”! LOL

  37. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

    Thou shall cometh from the heavens and swoop upon thee.

  38. Sofia says:

    Ah, man Byafra’s great.
    The funniest thing is that this song’s name is “Icaru’s Dream”. Just Ironic.

  39. Shadow says:

    No strings attached.

  40. ShadowTheSniperZombie C.C.C./Head of the Janitors' Union/Co-owner of ZombieTrollNetwork says:

    No no no don’t…*ice breaks*

    Way To Break The Ice!

  41. Nerte says:

    OMG it’s really annoying how all these e-comedians try sooo hard to be funny in every new fail discussion…

  42. bro Obama says:

    did parachute die??

  43. Luan says:

    I’m a brazilian,haha in the Brazil there are very and very funny fails ;)

  44. Puddi says:

    Yeah, about 195.1 million of ‘em.

  45. TL10 says:

    I was half hoping that something else would happen, like just before the parachute hits him, a car hits him instead… then the parachute. Ah well, it was still funny.

  46. PHT066 says:

    “no ar, no ar, eu sou assim
    brilho do farol
    além do mais, amargo fim
    simplesmente sol
    rock do bom.. OW”

  47. EGV says:

    Schaaaadenfreudeee!

  48. lol says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

    Also his singing. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. End.

    interview

  51. ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

    So slightly off topic here. I’m going to get to see Ben speak Friday morning! He’s giving a talk at Google DC, 7 blocks from my office. I even got my boss to approve the time out of the office as part of my work day. Hee!
    Anybody have any good question suggestions?

    • Little Girl Blue says:

      No! Ya’ crud! WTF? You lucky, lucky sod!

      What’s Ben going to be talking about?

      • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

        Yup, I saw the notice over at ICHC, and had to sign up when I saw how close it was.
        The talk is titled, “Building an Online Media Empire by Making People Happy”

        • fuzz on the concept says:

          If that is in fact the title, and there is Q&A, I’d be interested in his being asked about how they handle the issue of posting materials that can and do bring about the opposite of “happy.” I’ve posted concerns here before and won’t make a long editorial now. But Failblog does at times post 1mages that are gay-negative (“PHAG” = “FAIL”), racist (“NO LATINOS”), and big persons negative (stamping a picture of a person a “FAIL” primarily just because the person is heavy).

          To make it constructive, I’d like it if they were asked questions that (1) helped them consider their role in being socially responsible and that (2) helped us to help them be that way, namely, by also asking what are the forms of feedback from site users that are most useful to them and that are most likely to have the most productive effect.

          • Little Girl Blue says:

            fuzz, I have been supportive of you from the get-go. As a past ‘victim’ of discrimination, I applaud anyone — of any creed, race, or religion — who does not “look the other way” at the kinds of slurs you (and others) have pointed out. In my opinion, that is exactly how WWII got started (i.e., “looking the other way). If one does not learn from history, one is doomed to repeat it. I literally love this blog and I’m glad I found everybody, but I would leave it in a heartbeat if I didn’t believe that there were not a whole lotta positive stuff going on here, namely people such as yourself standing up for unjustice, racism, and discrimination, no matter how trivial it might seem in the “blogosphere” of life, as well as all those who support the same belief(s). Let’s hope that the PTB do the same.

    • Shadow says:

      I’d like to know if they use software to help them pick the comments that power video fails, or if they actually search through the 600,000+ comments by hand.

      Also, make sure to shout, “SHADOW LOVES YOU!” in your best-est fangirl voice.

    • nightshayde says:

      Not so much a question as a request — but how about requesting a late afternoon/early evening (for the North American crowd) Fail? :D

      • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

        I think they use google to look for comments!

        And a late fail would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  52. Shadow says:

    OT alert:

    I am officially in love with the new Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook. Especially the new gem designs. :D

    ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

  53. Edward says:

    And this happens all the time in America! It is a terrible place. Believe me, I have been there.

  54. hanny says:

    OOF. But yeah, that’s a paraglider, not a parachute. Parachutes can’t go up. :)

  55. Arthur says:

    He was singing “Fly, Fly…”

  56. gurv says:

    1. The typed commentary explaining that the guy doesn’t know what is going to hit him SUCKS! Let us watch the video ourselves and see for ourselves what is going to happen without explaining it away. Seriously, it killed the video.

    2. Freezing right as he gets hit? What gives? The editing on this is horrible. Why on earth would you freeze frame right at the moment that is the whole point we are watching this stupid clip? Why not just cut away after telling us he’s going to get hit? Couldn’t do anymore damage than has already been done by the piss-poor editing job on this video.

  57. Captain Obvious says:

    ‘ello nighters! Today just thought I’d check in. Looks like today has been very eventful, full of celebrations, roleplay horny chat, and talk of the ICHC network. If anyone wants to do a pun run, I’m here.

    Anyone?
    • Shadow, Texas Ranger says:

      I prefer a
      haiku run, to be frank.
      It’s a lot more fun.

      • Shadow, Texas Ranger says:

        I would prefer a*

        Or, you could just say I break the rules of poetry. ;)

        • Shadow, Texas Ranger says:

          *sees second line*

          Damn it. I’m writing this haiku off as a failed attempt.

          My brain's not so good at counting at 8:00 at night. :oops: 
        • Captain Obvious says:

          Or, you could say that.
          But I believe that you might,
          Have killed it very dead.

          • Shadow, Texas Ranger says:

            Another attempt.
            I am hoping that this time
            I will get it right.

            • ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

              Here you go Shadow, one of my favorites for inspiration.

              Haikus are easy,
              but sometimes they don’t make sense.
              Refrigerator.

              • I’ve seen it before. :)
                Take a look at this. (Clickie.)
                It’s very funny.

              • Shadow, Texas Ranger says:

                Stupid Blogmonster!
                You keep eating my clickies!
                I hate you so much!

                And, yes, this haiku
                has more than one verse, I know.
                That is allowed, right?

                Anyway, *ahem*,
                The following is what I
                was going to say:

                I’ve heard it before. ;)
                Take a look at this website.
                It’s hilarious:

                ht tp://haiku-poems.50webs.com/computer-haiku-poems.htm

                • fuzz on the concept says:

                  Those are fun. There’s also a collection of “Jewish Haiku” that’s been around for awhile. One example:

                  Today, mild shvitzing.
                  Tomorrow, so hot you’ll plotz.
                  Five-day forecast: feh.

              • Someone Nicer than Jenny... says:

                This may be my favorate GS Haiku ever. Well not this but this:

                Haikus are easy,
                but sometimes they don’t make sense.
                Refrigerator.

                Yay Great Scott!

  58. Alejo says:

    Finally it’s ok to ask if someone died after a video.

  59. ricardo says:

    Id say that was a parachute win, public singing fail

  60. RaelXX says:

    Just for the record, the song starts like this: “fly, fly, I am like this”

  61. Zotnix says:

    This is almost as funny as the time that Elton John was ironically singing “Rocket Man” and then got penet… er… well…

    *looks at the children watching him*

    Ate Frosted Flakes! It was… ironic…

    *goes and hides*

  62. Emperor, Tetragrammatron Cleric, Captain Teague. says:

    Pow right in the kisser.

  63. Terry says:

    Let me just say, I Fing hate the failblog.org clip you put at the end of your videos. Aside from the fact that the animation is just a ripoff of the Videlectrix intro, if I ever meet the guy who says “dot org!” I swear to god I’m going to punch him in the throat.

  64. ciknay says:

    i feel sorry for the parachutist. did u see him slam into the cliff?

  65. Brekke says:

    In Soviet Russia, parachute wears you.

  70. mediamagnet says:

    Does this mean the show is canceled?

  71. Yuri says:

    Don´t worry guys. The singer still alive. He didn´t fall over the guard rail.

  72. DOLLARDUDE says:

    everyones a critic

  73. Nico says:

    Hahahah, Biáfra… i’ve seen this video already, but in this one the video stops in the moment the parachute hit Biáfra… In the complete version he’s hit, but don’t even fall in the ground

  74. That´s actually a paraglider!

  75. Someone from brazil says:

    Sertanejo de merda , tem que toma paraquedadas na cabeça mesmo!

  76. Airlink145 says:

    he said boom right before getting hit
