    *wanders off mumbling about stupid copyright laws*

  31. jam says:

    I reckon they’ve filmed some phone sex operators answering calls. They make realistic noises by sobbing and heavy breathing.

  32. Reika - If I'm commenting, it'll most likely piss you off, and piss is really hard to clean up on carpets, so please try to restrain yourself says:

    “*calls after seeing video* WHat’s that? I’m going to die now because I watched your video? Haha. That’s very fun-”

  33. PeskyPyro says:

    1-900-740-3500….this is the #…wow

    • Cloral says:

      Yeah that’s the number, a google search confirmed it. But I still couldn’t find a single result that explained what the call was about.

  34. Adu says:

    They probably rely on a customers morbid curiousity…

  35. RadicalX says:

    It’s the Microsoft Technical Support line…

  36. Duroc says:

    Hump de bump, baby.

  37. Cloral says:

    Welcome to hell. Would you like a complementary turn-down service?

    • ZombieApocalypse says:

      Nothing in hell is complimentary – except the heat. And maybe the demons that sexually abuse you. But other than that …

  38. joe says:

  43. evildave says:

    What makes you break down like that?
    The phone bill, after dialing a 900 number.

  44. Reven says:

    censor Fail you can see the number before the vid ends lol!!!!!!!

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

    Don’t fret it ain’t over yet.

  46. truthly says:

    1 900 740 3200

  47. 1-900 WHAT?! 1-900 WHAT?! I NEED TO CRY DANGNABBIT!!

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

    9 calls of distress
    0 help
    0 confidence

  49. It looks like the Cheezburger network is hiring. Anyone want to move to Seattle? Clickie

    • arrrg! Wrong clickie, try this one. *headdesk*

    • Admiral Apparent says:

      Are they hiring for a new fail selector intern? I hope they hire someone older than twelve.

      • *shrug* It just says “Moderators”, but the description includes:

        “- Screening of incoming submissions (weed out X-rated or unsavory content)
        - Moderation of comments (spam, trolls, etc.)”

        • How could you have an X-rated fail?
          on second thoughts… Don’t answer that question

          • ZombieApocalypse says:

            I’ve heard of a great X-rated fail, but I really can’t repeat it here. You know, young-uns and stuff. It involved … um … an accidental … well, you know, he was enthusiastic and then missed and went … um … where no man had gone before … she jumped and knocked down a large mirror … he was later arrested at the hospital for spousal abuse, despite her protests …

            Oh, sorry. You said do not answer.

        • Leila ♀ © - Avatar is a tuna. I am BIG TUNA. says:

          For just $8.75 per hour? :shock:

          I mean, the poor people have to deal with us regulars, I would say the compensation has to be a little more substantial than just $8.75/hr.

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

    *erie voice*
    Your gonna die in 7 days.

    • Hi, you’ve reached Rachell Keller, please leave a message after the Tone

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

        *erie voice*
        You pick up the phone NOW! I have something very special to say t-
        *beep*

        • Emperor, Tetragrammatron Cleric, Captain Teague. says:

          Hello, oh Heyyy, how are ya? FOOLED you, leave a message after the beep.










          *disconnects phone*

  51. Harry V. says:

    What happend to the good old days when crying was something private?
    Nowadays pansy-asses all over the western world have the need to cry in public without realizing that they’re embarrassing themselves as well as annoy the rest of the world with it.

    To all those cry-babies out there, all I can say to you is: Suck it up.
    And to quote my old man: “Quit your crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!”

  52. AwesomeFACE says:

    Calm down love it’s only a comercial!

  53. asdf says:

    1-900-704-3500 is the number

  54. Jennifer says:

    Who would pay to get someone to make them cry?

  55. Jonothan Davis says:

    Call 1-900-740-3500 to obtain a great benefit for mentally disabled personal guide to a successful career and future. You can help, and if you can read and are able to proceed through the first step you no longer need to contact our company. Thank You, and give yourself a pat on the back!

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

    Don’t cry your only going to die.

  57. Loi22 says:

    The number actually is 1-900-740-300. Im not gonna call it because im in the UK and it will cost about £1000000000000000000000000000000000… I don’t have that much money.

    • Shadow says:

      [snobbery]
      *puts on glasses, pulls out calculator*
      Sir, no one has ever had that much money. The figure you have just named dwarfs the entire World GDP figure. The entire World GDP figures for the last 100 years. Combined.

      The figure you have just named is 10^33. That’s almost 1 quadrillion pounds and then half as much again. [/snobbery]

      • Captain Obvious says:

        YAYZ! Someone is still here with me! Has the rest of the FailBlog been going to bed earlier? ‘Cause when I started, everybody stayed up ’till the nines and sometimes even the tens. Now everybody kinda drops off at six, picks up again at seven, then passes out on the keyboard

      • Shadow says:

        Wait, crap, I got my math wrong.
        That’s almost (10^24)10^12. Much better.

  58. Loi22 says:

    my bad.
    it is actually 1-900-740-3500
    i’m still not calling it though.

  59. momo says:

    WORST FAILBLOG ENTRY EVAH!!

  60. Kraas says:

    Call 1-900-FU*************. Because that’s what your reaction will be when you get the bill for calling the number and you find out it totally wasn’t worth it.

  61. zappafrank says:

    More like Fail Blog Submission Fail

    The original doesn’t have the beep or the censored number. Why does this one?

    Idiot.

  62. noticeable says:

    Not sure if anyone else noticed, but if you pause the vid at the right time, the box hiding the number disappears, and you can see the number…

  63. smitty says:

    would somebody explain to me what I just saw?

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

      I just saw that you in about half way.

  64. Fiat Knox says:

    This was a fail, but it was Entertainment Fail and Getting To A Point Fail. What was such a fail about making grown people cry? I relish the prospect of reducing my enemies to tears. It’s not so much the hotline that failed, but the poster of this article.

  65. Hampus says:

    Is this zee fails?

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

    Tears of joy, fear, no. Tears of communication.

  67. ZombieApocalypse says:

    Rule #12: Bounty paper towels.

  68. ts6788 says:

    poor acting….Fail!

    • Mouse says:

      This is not a fail. This is a serious issue and failblog should take this down. This crying into the phone hotline stuff happens in South Africa and this is an important public service announcement message educating the public!

  69. Qwaz says:

    So someone’s making a business out of telling everyone when their childhood heroes will die?
    Sounds… lucrative.

    • Qwaz says:

      No, wait.
      They told that old knock-knock joke to them, didn’t they?
      I swear, some people just can’t take a joke.

      • tidbits says:

        You know, it could be one of those fortune teller hotlines? And by that I mean phone banking hotlines. I know I get pretty sad whenever I ring that one.

  70. n says:

    Yus, the original does not have the blurring and bleeping. You can find the original via google, as it was deleted off youtube.
    Fail on the submission by Failblog.

  71. Maxie P. says:

    it is indeed pretty stupid of them to bleeeep out the number they want people to call

  72. Bert says:

    1900 CUTING ONIONS

  73. Zalroc says:

    lol i can see the number as it fades out to the favorite comment… you may want to fix that…

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

    We need ShamWows stat!

    • Captain Obvious says:

      *Wraps ShamWows around defib*
      CLEAR!
      *ZAP! CRACK! SSSSSS!*
      *ShamWows catch on fire*
      HOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOTHOT!
      *Slams out of door then pulls Solid Snake pose*
      Noooooooo! Before I die, let me think of a funny way to end this!

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

    Contrary to the video, I am feeling quite better.

  76. David says:

    1-900-740-3500

    1-900-740-3500

    1-900-740-3500

    CALL IT!!!!!

    You can see it as the screen is fading to black. The gray bar disappears.

  77. bamahern says:

    You have dialed “Dial-A-Dirty-Joke”.
    A chick’n is standing on the corner. It’s a nice, lovely day.
    Up walks the farmer, the owner of the chick’n.
    The farmer says “good morning” to the chick’n – the chick’n says “good morning” to the farmer, and they stand and idlely chat for a while.
    Suddenly, up walks a hooker. The hooker says “hey chick’n, how about a lay?” The chick’n says “not with my wife you don’t!”
    You have dialed “Dial-A-Dirty-Joke.”

  78. Daniel says:

    First Viddler itself was down “for scheduled maintenance” but longer than scheduled. Now the video is unavailable. And when Viddler videos are available, they are prone to failure.

  79. DashTheDog8485 says:

    The number was 1-900-740-3500! see it at the end of the video

  80. Andrew Ong says:

    Carnage! I found no sense behind the hotline!

  81. Salmon says:

    One again Failblog shows an incredible lack of tact. Making fun of people with problems or depression is called social darwinism. Another example of social darwinism is Mein Kampf. Way to go failblog.

    • Daniel says:

      Sorry, but cruel mockery of people for weakness is neither a necessary nor peculiar feature of social darwinism.

      Social darwinism is the theory that competition drives social evolution. The term “social darwinism” was introduced to describe how socialists invoked Darwin’s theory of evolution to support their system. Later, the leftist Richard Hofstadter ignored how the political left had done this, and used the term to wad-together various non-leftist thinkers, as if they were somehow fundamentally similar because they invoked competition in their explanatory frameworks. (In this way, Hofstadter could pretend that libertarians were not much different from Nazis.)

  82. huevos says:

    wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeewaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  83. Steu says:

    Video editing fail, the number can be seen at the end…
    1900-740-8500 (They faded the block out too soon).

    Who wants to pay $2 to see if it still works.

  84. yumTako says:

    WTF Stupid fail

  85. Hozzckharr says:

    1-900-740-3500

  86. Thomas says:

    They are crying because they are paying $2 a minute like suckers.

  87. sumone says:

    EVERYONE CALL 1-900-740-3500
    Censor-FAIL

  88. Evin says:

    the real fail is that they show the number at the end haha 1-900-740-8500

  89. frado2jr says:

    who would pay to cry on a phone line anyways

  90. Charles says:

    Nice – it’s a link to a phishing site. Blocked by Symantec Antivirus.

  91. Huub says:

    If you ask me, those people heard what they should have to pay when they dialed that number :P

  92. carf says:

    does anyone know what this really is, all jokes aside?

  93. alpine says:

    the number actually is 1-900-740-3500 at 00:36

    They’re crying because they probably were told that they would die in seven days.

  94. Darth Vader says:

    Leila i am your Farther!

  95. poelfkat says:

    it’s the price that lets you cry^^

  96. Julia says:

    the number blocked out is 740-3500 :)

  97. Ackeve says:

    “Oi, you. Yes, you. Everything you know, is a lie. You actually have cancer, and paranoid Schizophrenia. Your friends are coming to kill you right now. Get out, get out now, [insert client name here].”

  98. Matt says:

    The number is 1-900-740-3500. You can see it at the last second at the end

  99. BoofusFoofus})i({ says:

    The number is 1900 740 3500 which you can see as teh screen fades to balck at the end. :36. If you are curious enough to call, dont it is soooo expensive. I have the answer right here. they are crying because it is so expensive. there. done.

  100. Kirsten says:

    is there even a point to that hotline…i mean seriously…who wants to cry like that?..

  101. blarg says:

    i know what it is… it makes you listen to rick astley’s song… that commercial came out as soon as that song came out… its the first rick roll.. and you had to pay to get rick rolled! :O ULTIMATE EVIL!!!1one!1!…. or im just lying and i have no clue :)
