  1. We don’t need no stinkin 4WD.

  2. Qwaz says:

    They read “The Little Compact that Could” too much.
    Turns out it can’t.

  3. pnjunction says:

    Not running rich enough to buy a more capable car.

  4. Tony says:

    in soviet rssia cars ride youuuuu!!!eleven!!11111

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

      in soviet russia car pull you

  5. the ninky nonk says:

    old seen it ages ago

  6. Tony says:

    IT LITERATELY DRIVES YOU!

  7. chach says:

    They dont build the ‘82 dodge dart like they used to…

  8. Ms B ♥ says:

    *hauls in hot tub*
    *climbs in*

    Ahhhhhhhhhh… Just what I needed.

  9. Mario says:

    did he lose life?

  10. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    That settles it. I’m not buying a pop-up camper. I don’t want my Malibu to look like that car.

  11. Jennifer says:

    Their brakes didn’t work at all.

  12. Shadow says:

    Seeing as I totally failed and wrote my first haiku on the previous fail… here’s one in the correct spot.

    “Ode to Fail… v2.0″ – Shadow

    Goin’ up a hill,
    just driving along. Hang on…
    … Why are we backing up?

  13. MY NAME! says:

    boooooring this has been on youtube for like a year, and pretty sure if you go back through the failfiles, you’ll find it somewhere.

  14. noyb says:

    Yet another DUPLICATE fail

  15. JD says:

    Why did he go back down there for?

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

      he forgot his wallet

      • CK159 says:

        Clearly, the gravity at the bottom of the hill was getting lonely, and the camper felt guilty for leaving. After the camper ‘convinced’ the car to go see gravity again, they were all soon reunited at the bottom of the hill in one large pile.

  16. Brewski with the Blues says:

    Hey all, have an awesome weekend! It’s a 3-day holiday weekend for me! Woot!
    *goodbye squeezes*

  17. ZombieApocalypse says:

    I think I can … I think I can … I think I can …
    I thought I could … I thought I could … I thought I could …

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

    The red car who couldn’t.

  19. Sammoth says:

    Ha! This was shot at my home. It’s a viral, of course – but I’ve never seen it with the actual advert part still attached. Always tickles me to see it crop up again as a genuine home video, given they spent all day trying to make it look realistic.

  20. Beetle179 says:

    Did he die?

    … No, really, did the car driver die?

    • Sammoth says:

      No, of course not. It’s a beautifully choreographed advert; made by Maverick Media (www.maverickmedia.co.uk) if I remember correctly. It’s just always been shown with the actual advert part stripped off.

  21. Kyle says:

    High five! Anyone? *High fives self*

  22. Cerb says:

    Not even old, ancient. Seeing this posted just really spells the death of failblog :(

  23. ¡Great Scott! Chief Engineer says:

    SOoo, I don’t know if anyone else has gotten the FAIL Nation book. I got mine (signed!) today, and have been browsing through it. It’s well done. The Dicitionary and accidenty show up by page 6. :) There are a few references to failpeeps as well. The last page is a map of the City of Fail, with locations like Diesel Fried Chicken, Failburger, and Free Mom Carwash. But then I noticed there’s also a building listed “Foom Arcade“!!!! That convinced me this part of the intro wasn’t accidental, “FAIL Nation has recently enjoyed a 9000 increase in tourism after a certain dilettante proclaimed…”
    Yay for DW and Dilly!

  24. gluino says:

    Actual home videos would not normally have any OSD text and icons (i.e. battery icon, time index etc).
    These things seem to only appear when it’s an advert staged to look like a DIY home video. Stupid.

    • tahrey says:

      They can be provoked to appear… but only if you’re piping the output from, e.g. a Hi-8 camera to a VHS recorder and are too dumb to turn the OSD off.

  25. Alice says:

    FRDAY REWIND! CAN YOU SEE THAT I AM SERIOUS? GET OUT OF MY WAY, ALL OF YOU! THIS IS NO PLACE FOR LOAFERS! JOIN ME OR DIE. CAN YOU DO ANY LESS? FOR LUCKY BEST NOT YELLED AT, USE ALICE!

    Well At Least The Bike’s Are Ok..

  27. Teguki says:

    I can’t beleive that no-one said:

    “I saw this on You’ve Been Framed”

    I saw it… years ago…

  28. montirosso says:

    old

  29. Kiwi-OD says:

    oooh oooh… Trailblog!

  30. C says:

    This one is old -_-

    • FAIL Blogger says:

      Video Description FAIL! (Every Friday we’ll be bringing you back a classic FAIL Blog video from the past. Enjoy the epicness!)

  31. Matt says:

    Why would a puny car be trying to pull a big ass trailer up a steep road?
    Why I ask, why?

    • tahrey says:

      Because it was staged for a TV advertisment.
      Why would you be randomly videotaping someone fiddling with a mountain bike, back in the days when video cameras were bulky and heavy, and the tapes were expensive?

  32. FAIL Blogger says:

    Not only is what he’s doing a FAIL, but he’s doing it with a Yugo GV (The Ultimate Automotive FAIL!; Originally brought to the US by the same guy who brought us Subaru) Double FAIL! Only a “Real Man of Genius” could FAIL that miserably with his dignity intact!

    • tahrey says:

      Well done on totally failing to ID the car in question even after loads of other people have already done it correctly (and corrected similar failers) further up the thread. It’s a Renault 5.

      To make it worse, it’s one of the few euro compacts that actually WERE sold in the states, so there’s far less excuse.

      And, actually, not a bad car – almost had one for my first (then veered off towards VW). Just not cut out for towing, and runs just as badly as any old car if you keep it for 10 years without maintaining it properly then drive everywhere with the choke out.

  33. |-|/-\XX()R says:

    did he die?!

  34. max1c says:

    Is that a hill ? O s**t that’s a hill!

  35. tahrey says:

    Failblog fail. This is actually from a TV advert for Auto Trader – some clever person has just cropped the end off where it says something like “get the right car” or whatever. As was probably pointed out first time around, too. The whole thing was staged.
    …and I’ve seen this same mistake made on at least five websites now :-/

  36. Twisted says:

    We had this video before…

  37. bugloaf says:

    Still my all time favorite.

  38. Blaze says:

    that’s a win, then fail.

    Rolling down backwards made me laugh.

  39. Feelipx says:

    Ronaldo! Brilha muitu no Corinthians!!!
