Is it a fail? Or is it a new reason to glaze over some content?
Well, it’s on failblog…maybe it’s actually a really bad movie?
I think it’s one of those “you have to think about it” things, in the sense the FAILBLOG itself is failing by shamelessly putting this advertisement up.
Agreed!
No, this movie looks great
FAUCHK YHOUH
the fail is a lie
I think this movie looks boring.
this movie looks like another piece of american bullshit with nothing else but toilet humor
C’mon, you’re on failblog!
Dude have you even heard of Youth in Revolt as books ??
Oh, come on. All you have to do is ignore the ad and move on to the next fail while the people running this site rake in some money. This isn’t a bother at all, and shouldn’t take more than 3 seconds of your time if you choose to not view it.
couldn’t agree more. Major fail.
did failblog just fail themselves by posting this?
nope its actually really really good! i got to see it before it came out, its excellent, you’re gonna love it!
First!!!
Aww…dammit to hell!!!!
no, look at the title, the movie paid them to put their trailer up on failblog, its not a fail
Yeah, it’s called ‘advertising’. twit….
no, look at the title, they were paid by the movie to post their trailer up
Of course its a fail, the movie sucks.
Sucks so bad it hurts!
Hi, Failblog? If you need money, just tell us, we’ll send some. It’s depressing to see you degrade yourselves in this fashion. It’s like finding out your sister posed for nude pics to pay for college.
And by that I mean I checked out the whole thing intently even though I was sure I wasn’t going to like it.
I’m sure your sister was glad you checked out her photos. It’s nice to know your family appreciates your work.
wow… just wow
Aha! Pronoun trouble!
WIN!
Actually, It seems more shameful to beg for money rather than put up an ad.
If you could choose between a seeing a tramp begging for money because his family got killed by ninjas or an ad, what would you rather see? I’d go with the tramp. Shame on you!
The admin(s) don’t ever read the comments. You’re wasting your time and making yourself look like an idiot.
Do not want.
I feel strangely disappointed
I feel disappointeed, stangely.
Disappointed, I feel strangely (and it feels good)
Huh. Maybe FailBLOG is trying for negative press. Maybe that earns them more money.
I mean, come on. The sudden thrust of “NEW SHIRT!” things receive fairly low thumb votes as they break the flow of FAIL.
Michael Cera sucks. Acting Fail. He’s the same character over and over.
You can’t blame him there are limited roles for someone with only three facial expressions
Exactly! think how hard it must be for some one with only one facial expression, like Zooey Deschanel.
Or Keanu Reeves.
Or the Olsen twins
Or the founder of the school, Harrison Ford.
I like your point. But it *is* a little hard to take you seriously when your spelling and grammar isn’t up to par. Also, overusing capitals and exclamation points strikes me as immature.
Not trying to be annoying :B
Spelling and grammar *aren’t* up to par, surely?
Oi, that was a terrible fail on my part.
At least it was failblog. *shrug*
Grammar Nazi fail.
My guess is you were jilted by a cute girl at some point. Mind you, that’s just a guess.
OMG did you just seriously “/facepalm”?!?! lol that is too good! I love it!
hey Cera, stop making a million gay movies and get on board with the Arrested Development movie before the whole world turns on you. Seriously.
About as bad as those flying-carpet ads that show up out of nowhere.
Marketing people are the scum of the earth. Too bad for them I have flashblock installed LOL.
Failblog.
If I wanted to see movie trailers, I would go to a movie review blog.
This is irrelevant to failblog.
Failblog has failed.
This movie sucks!
And you doing the promotion for it does not make it better.
Failblog post FAIL.
Definitely a movie fail but also an ominous fail of failblog becoming more commercial.
Oh, woe is me! (dramatically fainting on the divan) God forbid some one should want to make a little money.
You whiners need to get a life.
You mean rifle,… We whiners need to get a rifle! Right?
*distributes rifles so whiners can overthrow the commercialist pigs*
If all of the whiners had the rifles, there’d be no one left to do the work.
Did anyone else notice that it comes out on David Bowie’s birthday and that they use the Bowie song Rebel Rebel?
I’m not sure how I feel about this…
i am born at the same day as david bowie and elvis presley:D:D:D
This is what they refer to as ‘balance’
So Failblog puts up an ad post (clearly indicated in the title), requiring you to scroll through an additional ~400 vertical pixels of screen space to get to the content you love. Or you could just click on the little (X) button, and maybe visit some other funny-picture-bloggy-site that doesn’t put up ad posts. But oh no, you can’t have that! No, you CLICK on said ad post, WATCH the trailer, and then you SCROLL to the comment box just so you could whine about it. You people fail.
No you.
No you.
I find it funny that you, tyberius, actually posted here….
No you.
tyberius commented about it, so he’s, what, fail to the second power?
tyberius = Fail²
This post fails.
This reply fails.
You fail, go grow an originality gland.
No, it is a fail. See that ‘coming soon to cinemas near you’ line? Well, I live in England. Think I could complain about false advertising? They may take it down.
Oh…people whining…that’s so WIN!
You complainers should make and maintain ($$$) your own blog…
@tyberius, I totally agree…
yes its a fail, but i don’t agree with half of you whiney buggers out there. it’s wrong to put it in the category where traditional fails go. but not wrong to put it on the site. maybe next time oh webmaster, stick it it a category titled “gratuitous money making ads” so i don’t get all excited when i check my inbox
oh, and if any of you grammar nazi’s out there want to check me on my diction, spelling, punctuation. you’re wasting your time.
go back to checking the stock price on krispy kreme
Normally i don’t comment.. but you miss-used “,” in your phrase..
“oh, and if any of you grammar nazi’s out there want to check me on my diction, spelling, punctuation.”
Should have written:
oh, and if any of you grammar nazi’s out there want to check me on my diction, spelling AND punctuation.
Um, technically, it should be “grammar nazis”, shouldn’t it? The apostrophe makes it possessive.
That, and the first part (“oh, and if…”) is a sentence fragment. Put in a comma after “punctuation” and it magically becomes a subordinate clause.
OH! almost forgot, “nazis” seems to be a proper name as well… so capitalize the N.
Not to mention that “oh” should have had a capital ‘O’, since it is the start of a sentence.
haha you got pwnd
ADVERT FAIL.
Keep it up FB and you’ll become a parody of yourself.
Best part of this advertisement? It had another advertisement at the end. It’s like a little lump of crap on a pile of manure.
win
All the haters can eat it. This was made from one of the best books ever written. If the movie sucks (which after seeing the unrated trailer, I don’t think that will be the case), do yourself a favor and read the book.
There’s a difference between hating the movie and hating the fact that FB sold out to post a copy of the trailer.
If it had been a trailer for battlefield earth, then it would have been appropriate.
Seriously though, this blog is for things that fail. If you put your movie in with it you are telling us that it fails and that we should not see it. That may not have been the intent of the producers.
failblog fail
I guess I fail… I liked the trailer.
It felt like someone had made a film about me and the twisted things that go on in my mind.
If I can remember, I’ll see it when it comes out, otherwise download it once someone puts it up on Rapidshare.
Please to note: at least a modicum of comments should be read to keep the poster from looking like an ignoramus.
Thank you
Agreed, you fail.
*raspberry*
Hey, from now on, Failblog has its name not because of the fail that you see on it, but because of the fail that it is itself.
WTF? Ads on *my* failblog?
You know that it’s only two clicks to delete you out of my RSS feed folder, do you?
totally agree with Mokkori
would have been better if failblog had intro’d it with ‘shameless plug’ – then i would have digested this a little better
Gonna have to avoid that movie now out of spite.
Same.
Failblog has put this movie trailer up. This implies it is a movie fail. Not worth my time.
I know no one’s going to see this but I am now take a cue from this person and going to avoid icanhas, etc. out of spite. GG
OMG what a original and inovative movie.
It is informative to me. I notice that failblog is advertising a movie, I click to watch, I see that Michael Cera’s character is a fail. Makes sense to me.
so the bills have to be paid, or profits to be made? hmmmm
By the way this movie is also known as “Fight Club – Preschool Edition”
LOL
But … I didn’t see any mention of soap.
Why he still gets to play in movies is beyond me… But the subject of the movie seems pretty interesting, albeit not cinema-worthy, rather download-worthy.
1 and 1/2 thumbs? This must be terrible!
I’d say this movie counts as a Fail.
FAIL!… I’ll look at your ads, but will click off when I think I am being tricked!
What the hell!? Blatant advertisement of crappy movies in between our fails? This is a self-fail on failblogs part, remove the crummy trailer if you appreciate your community you ninnies.
When is Failblog going to realize we don’t like ads?
Somehow, I don’t think they really care…
Wait, why is Youth In Revolt sponsoring the post for an ad of Youth In Revolt.
No I’m sorry but this is inappropriate. Ads that appear in addition to the content are tolerable, but ads that replace the content are bullshit. I read enough blogs every day to not want to waste time in that manner. This should never happen again.
I already have to deal with all the ads AROUND the site, I’d like to keep them out of the middle of the page.
its amazing how many people have said “this movie sucks” considering it isnt out yet.
i saw it in july and it was very good.
How could you have seen it all the way back in July, if you yourself just said its not even out, yet?
Dufus, he probably saw a preview screening. Those do happen.
Moron, all the way back then it was still in development.
Fight Club, anyone?
Yes! But i though we weren’t supposed to talk about fight club =L
Lol. I guess you guys haven’t noticed the crap ton of advertisements already piled up all over fail blog. It was only a matter of time before it leaked out into the content section.
Ads in their proper place are fine. Say, in the sidebar, or that annoying bar at the top.
The complaint is that it’s in the main part of the page, not in advertising space.
I notice no complaints about the $6 tees, for example … because they’re in the ad space.
Your effort is awesome, but albeit a bit misplaced: you may notice that while perusing through the lolcats or any of the others there are the same ads on the sides in the same place as the pics. Making your statement void.
Allow me to correct, if you don’t take offense: Ads should be placed on the side as most advertising is done on the net and not made a part of the content the person is viewing. Doing so can cause an interruption in the life and well being of your website.
8. january is my b-day:D
Yes because I want to see a movie where Micheal Cera acts the same as EVERY OTHER ROLE HE’S BEEN IN.
The book sucked the sweat off a dead man’s nuts. Worst book EVAH!
The only Fail is FAIL Blog posting a paid advertisement as an entry.
Take not of the negative response…
*note
Thank God for as blocking software.
Thank God for ad blocking software.
And….F-blog just jumped the shark. Goodbye.
Marketing meeting:
Ben Huh:
“I can place your trailer in front of millions of 18-25yo males by disguising it as a post, defeating common AdBlock software. They will watch the WHOLE thing, because, being FailBlog fans, they are always waiting for the fail. The fact that it doesn’t come is minor, by that point we’ve already got them. They will see the movie because I’ve made it look hip.”
Marketing rep:
“But we’re giving away all the punchlines and sight gags.”
Ben Huh:
“So what? They’ll be even funnier the second time”.
Marketing rep:
“OK Ben, here’s $XXXXXXXXXX, make it happen. You’re a genius”.
(to the tune of westminster chimes) lame lame lame lame… lame lame lame lame…. lame….. lame….. lame
..and I already hated the ads on the left & right & at the top more than enough….
I’ll be off when we’re being exposed to more of this stuff…not that anybody would care…
Movie looks soooooo gay!
well .. these guys have brought me enough laughs for me to allow them shove one silly ad down my throat .. and I was still laughing .. at the trailer. This movie is pathetic
This is probably the first time they’ve made money posting a very relevant video to the site. Thumbs up
Well, thumbs up cause they got me to look. Thumbs down cause it’s not part of the original content. I’ll personally let it pass this time, but screw me once, shame on you.
I really liked Cera in Arrested Development and Juno. There was something undeveloped about him that made his character seem very real.
But this and last few films before it….are these really the sort of roles he wants to play? I am disappointed. Better to go back to school or do something else completely if these are the only roles he is being offered.
I am alone in my office and was embarrassed to have the trailer running!
I think it is totally appropos that this film trailer be on failblog. Cera needs to wake up and realize that a willingness to participate in vulgarity and the ability to swear can only take an actor so far.
Christmas Ham – FAIL
FailBlog’s heresy – WIN!
Ummmm, Ham…….
I like that movie where Micheal V era plays an awkward teenager. What was it called?
**Cera
Having seen it almost a year ago in a pre-release screener, I can say that Youth in Revolt is a HUGE FAIL. Cera was better in Year One – and that was a catastrophic FAIL in it’s own right. Save your bucks.
WTF Failblog, no…really, wtf??
fail fail
Dear Failblog,
Although I usually enjoy viewing content on this website, today I was greatly disappointed. First, a “sponsored” video clip, on top of the seven second advertisement now at the start of many of your clips. I am deeply troubled by your need to become a cash grabbing cow, Failblog.
Secondly, a clip for a movie that is essentially a teenage Fight Club? Lame. There is one movie I definitely won’t be seeing.
With regards,
The lady of the Hat.
Wow, so many dense people.
The whole movie is about a failure. Watch it, it’s great watching the kid fail at almost everything.
i want my money back!!!
Ok….idk how this is a fail cause I saw this movie -yes i know it hasnt come out yet, i go to an art school and there was a film festival held here so we got to see it for free- and its an EPIC WIN!
Hey Fight Clu- oh wait, its a knock off
yeah, because I’m totally not going to just adblock that hideous background..
Manhunt win. That guy made the approach from the wrong dimension. That movie certainly gets the adult R rating.
(Yep, he gets owned for what he deserves. He is of course on the wanted list.)

did failblog just fail themselves by posting this?
