» 147 Failures in Communication

  1. *Puts forward her 0.02cents*
    nearly free now.

  2. JasonK says:

    Oh hell, is that thing moving?

  3. Dr.SharK says:

    1 cent? Great! Now I can afford that car I always wanted, thank you Arbus!

  4. ad-hoc says:

    lol. grey looking cold beef and curly fries that just get thrown on the table.

  5. *folds grey material into seeded bun*
    There, that looks slightly more appetising.

  6. The recession is indeed crazy, and may need to be sectioned to prevent it from doing harm to itself….or we could just feed it a regular roast beef combo laced with ritalin.

  7. Mario says:

    not a fail, just a cheapo giving out coupon

  8. Stephen Ogley says:

    Oh dear, is that what a roast beef dinner has become these days? Where’s the Yorkshire Pudding and gravy?

  9. granny says:

    KF Seagull

  10. granny says:

    1c off dog roll and deep fried foreskins with a coke to take the taste away!

  11. KoKing says:

    granny’s “horsey sauce” is a bit salty today…….

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

    1 cent brains too?

  13. GaGa says:

    That doesn’t make any “cents”.

  14. granny says:

    that’s nothing I’ll give you two scents off my meat roll for free!

  15. 5 eagles says:

    Save, save, a penny saved is a penny earned!

  16. FèatureLock says:

    If I give you one cent, and you give me 2 cents, then who has 3 cents?

    • chrexp says:

      A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting in a street café watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people entering the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, “The measurement wasn’t accurate.” The biologist says, “They must have reproduced.” The mathematician says, “If one more person enters the house then it will be empty.”

  17. Katie says:

    I’m pretty sure it’s a joke. They’re doing $5.01 combo deals right now to compete with the popular $5 meals at other restaurants. They have commercials that talk about what the extra cent is for, too.

    • np says:

      Shoot. Next to last comment stole mine. You’re absolutely right. These value meals have been advertised for quite a while at $5 (“if I can get all that for $5, I’ll marry a goat”), but recently they started the $5.01 campaign. Since their food sucks ass (except for the chicken cordon bleu), I don’t go there so I don’t know if they actually charge $5 or $5.01.

      • Cloral says:

        Yeah. I actually saw this coupon the last time I was there. There’s one for each of their 5.01 combos, and they put them on the sheets they put on the service trays. I think it would be hilarious to see somebody actually use one of these coupons.

    • TickleMeCthulu says:

      Which is still lame when you consider their ‘promotion’ is really making the meal more expensive. It used to be you could get these meals for 3.99. They’ve now jumped to 4.99, and with this ‘promotion’ it’s up to 5.01.

      ….Arby’s, though I adore them, has backward thinking.

  18. lili says:

    As much as people complain, I will always dig on the Arby’s. I love their curly fries and their jalapeno poppers are as decent as one can expect from fast food.

    …now I know where I want to go for lunch!

    • Cloral says:

      Despite how it looks in the picture, their meat is better quality than what you get at most fast-food places. I mean, it’s actually sliced beef, not some beef-esque mash-up. And for those complaining that the beef is gray, you’ve clearly never cooked a piece of beef well-done.

      Okay, enough advertising for Arby’s for one day.

  19. We don’t have Arbus in the UK, damn… I’ve really missed out on a bargain.

  20. Lynz Catastrophe says:

    For the first time in failure history i’m offended by this because Arby’s happens to be my fave place to eat. Oh well,.

  21. I bet the value of the paper is higher than 1 cent.

  22. fatty says:

    This “beef” doesnt look like someone would want it anyways

  23. Matt says:

    What a good deal.

  24. fgsfgsdfg says:

    its b/c that combo costs $5.01 so it only five like all the other fast food combos. not as stupid as it seems

  25. Codex says:

    Not a fail. I’ve seen these – it’s an advertising gimmick – their new sandwich meals are $5.01, so you get one cent off and make it an even dollar.

  26. Dexaan says:

    And you KNOW someone is going to argue with the cashier about if it’s still valid.

  27. T.J. says:

    Not a fail. It’s SUPPOSED to be funny and lame. They have an entire ad campaign built around the extra cent in their $5.01 combos.

  28. artonelico says:

    A penny saved is a penny earned.

  29. J says:

    OMG I work at an Arby’s and when we first got these I had to ask my manager if it was a joke and they said it wasn’t… we’ve had these “coupons” out for atleast a month now and no one has even attempted to use one, I’m pretty sure everyone thinks it’s a joke…

  30. Geodude says:

    Not Fail – was a promotional gimmick Arby’s was using.

  31. Ugly says:

    This coupon is mainly to appeal to Jews.

  32. roger says:

    well the meal combo DOES cost $5.01 and so now ur only paying $5 :D

    • Dylan says:

      yeah, I don’t think this is a fail at all, it’s just part of their promotion for their new combo deal.

      It’s called marketing, and apparently it worked, or at least drew the attention to end up on a massively viewed page.

  33. Bluedrake42 says:

    haha I went to arby’s the other day and was like… wtf is this?

  34. Andrew Ong says:

    1-cent off is certainly too small to call it a saving.

    • Penny Coupon says:

      Tell that to Rockerfeller. Everytime I pick up a penny all kinds of magic happens. It’s karmic. I got to see several cities in Virginia and got free hotel accomodation and food for three weeks worth of November, and free education in the water restoration business, all as a result of picking up a penny.

  35. Mindirella says:

    I was at Arby’s Saturday with my kids. This same coupon is on a sheet that they put on your food tray.

    I thought it was rather insulting! lol

    Now I know it was really a FAIL

    • Penny Coupon says:

      What do you know. Your kid saw penny coupon and deep inside was like omg penny coupon o the wonders of the universe are at my fingertips. Of course you would be insulted by something as miraculous as penny coupon, you bring your kids to Arby’s that’s what you get.

  36. mikja says:

    lolzrbbq photoshop is so hilarious! you can make a normal coupon look like one that would never have even made it past the marketing research and development stage, much less put into production! phailshop is so cool!

    • Dylan says:

      actually you fail miserable. You should have read the comments first, multiple people have stated they WENT there and saw the SAME coupon, as did I. AND people have explained the reasoning for it.

      Good Job.

  37. pope says:

    That helps make those 5.01 combos an even 5 bucks! But those poor people who that .01 went to!

  38. mEtal0796 says:

    i dont get it, whats the fail????

    • failblogfails says:

      ur the fail…..

    • Penny Coupon says:

      exactly, that’s what i says. you pick a penny off the ground, same principle. you see a penny coupon, how rare is that. penny coupon says great enlightenment, open new avenues of the mind. what is penny coupon doing in failblog? i guess that’s why it is failblog, huh. yeah.

  39. ubergaijin says:

    There are two kinds of people in this world, coupon people and non-couple people.

    To a non-coupon person, this coupon has essentially negative value, unless you count the humour involved in using a coupon for 1 cent.

    To a coupon person, this coupon is like a passport enabling them to eat a regular roast beef combo. If they don’t have a coupon, they’re just not going to eat there. In that sense, it doesn’t matter if the coupon is one cent or one dollar. They gotta have the coupon. The mental strain of selecting fast food without a coupon would be too much for them.

  40. Dave says:

    Damn, I left my coupon at home. I’ll be right back. It’s only about 5 miles away.

  41. Savato says:

    Reminds me of when my previous gas company tried to get me to start paying again by saying they were a third of a penny anually cheaper than my current one.

  42. Katt says:

    Try working for Arby’s and seeing these things the day you unbox them, and wanting to cry. I understand Sales and Marketing wanting to do their thing, but theyre called S&M,,,, and a rose by any other name…

  43. Gaz says:

    The best thing is it doesn’t expire until next October. Stock up on coupons and save all year! With all the pennies you’ll be saving, by next October you’ll be able to afford something off the dollar menu at a much better fast food joint.

  44. Decoy says:

    This would go so well with the peter russel’s joke

  45. AkamA says:

    This is a $hitty fail, srsly.

  46. grundo says:

    cheeapskates

  47. UNICORNZ 4 EVURRR says:

    lol. that would go good with a unicorn.

  48. Shadowpenguin97 says:

    This is real. I went there and they gave me like two sheets of coupons that said the same thing.

  49. Mallori says:

    This just made my day! I work at arbys and we have these as trayliners. We dont even have a button to give that discount, but if someone tried to use that coupon I would definitely give them a few dollars off because nobody has actually tried

  50. Chelsea says:

    I work at Arby’s too. And it is quite obvious that whomever designed those tray liners were trying to be humorous and “witty”, but they failed at that. I’ve never had someone try to use it before. But I have had old annoying people and those living on welfare checks yell at me because it is stupid. So thank you Arby’s for that.
