  2. Ryan says:

    not first!

  3. LVMaxfield says:

    fail

  4. Notu says:

    There will be a test on the Manual.

  5. Zing200 says:

    Hai thar trolls!

  6. Success says:

    Cordislabeling for all your blank pages. YES! It’s true! We can make paper blank!

  7. The Moomin says:

    It’s not blank. It has writing on it.

    • transistor09 says:

      Someone just wanted to make sure everyone gets the message.

    • Notfail says:

      I don’t actually tink of this as a fail, many times my team has joked that we should create a blank manual like this one, especially for simple equipment it goes along the lines of: If you can’t figure out how to use it without a manual, you probably shouldn’t be using it.

  8. justin brown says:

    all these comments with “*slaps* ” and stuff like that fail and everyone who does stuff like that ruin the picture. and the people do stuff like that aren’t even talking about the pic they are just clutering up the coments

    ps. this is vid hilarious

  9. The Moomin says:

    Brought to you by the makers of ‘do not read this’ signs, and ‘touch without touching’ handdryers.

  10. jen says:

    There has got to be a less efficient way to communicate this information. Maybe a billboard?

    • The Moomin says:

      I was thinking a celebrity endorsement. We can fly them around the world to deliver the message.

      • ZombieApocalypse says:

        Oh, I know! The 800 number on the “blank” pages could be to an airline reservation desk, where you reserve a private corporate jet to fly you to their worldwide headquarters in order to tell you to buy next years model for the answer to your question!

        Now that’s efficiency!

      • Elsa_Mama says:

        I think one if those signs pulled behind an airplane would be better. It would be cheaper than usual since there would be no message….

    • ZombieApocalypse says:

      Phone! Notice they give you an 800 number on each “blank” page. If they made that a 900 number instead and put you on hold for half an hour when you called …

  11. thainutte says:

    lol.
    i visited their homepage and you can find the actual manual there. I think they really wanted to save some money for printing pictures …

  12. a random person says:

    post is intentionally left blank

  13. Pwz414 says:

    “Darn Bill, page 6 is missin’. What now?”

  14. ppnsteve says:

    this is WIN, not FAIL.

    I’d totally do that to my customers just for the lolz

  15. Simão says:

    I must make an essay about that book for school. It says exactelly everything I think.

    • somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

      So every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year all you think about is a phone number for help with a pill?

  16. Ms B says:

    This reminds me of a song!

    This is the song that never ends.
    It just goes on and on my friends…

    Ok, I’ll spare you.

  17. somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

    This booklet should have a second part… or be made into a movie adaptation starring Robert Pattinson staring at a phone in a room with white walls and no doors, just one 3 1/4 inch window to the south east corner.

    • The Moomin says:

      Then he reaches for the manual and gets a papercut, staring in horror at the shock of red blossoming against the immaculate white.
      He slowly pushes himself back along the floor, horror growing by the minute as the trail of red follows him. He curls into a ball in the corner.
      Then the phone begins to ring. . .

  18. CB says:

    Wow – I’ll bet the pulmonary surgeons who are supposed to be placing the stent aren’t amused by the lack of instructions… or at least their patients aren’t…

  19. Amonsterinsheepsclothing says:

    failbook

  20. somedudewhosawyourstuff says:

    This is probably the script for the live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop.

  21. Ms B says:

    The age-old question:

    What would happen if you gave a yo-yo to a flock of flamingos?

  22. Jennifer says:

    What does this have to do with a manual?

  23. Will says:

    I’m lost…they should’ve added a Table of Contents.

  24. Themias says:

    I’m pretty sure it was intentional :D

  25. justin brown says:

    just as i expected my post were made fun of because of grammar and spelling. but do you see what im saying look at all that trash about picking up penny’s and dimes, its making the comment page junk.

    • Elsa_Mama says:

      Hey Dude!!! *poses with “dude hands”* I thought you said you weren’t going to post anymore???? Get with the program Man, this here is not a “comment on the fail” place — it is a say whatever you want and have fun place — so take your hatin’ somewheres else …

    • Rayne says:

      You are not helping the clutter on the page. If you don’t like it,go elsewhere.

      OK…

      You are the only one that is annoying to me.

      Are you the obsessive neat freak of the web?

    • Delta Sierra says:

      OCD much?

    • Jon; says:

      *pays copyrights*

  26. Ploerp says:

    What’s that manual for anyway?

    How to operate women?

  27. Shadow © says:

    /me got his tetanus and Hep. A shots today.
    :(

    I wan' my lollipawp.
  28. Shadow © says:

    Well… the book was at first, yeah…
    But then it just got repetitive. :roll:

  29. Avis says:

    This is a friendly warning to any and all Verizon Policy holders: I am recently experiencing MAJOR technical difficulties with this provider. They keep calling me to inform me of overdue bills. I am not the policy holder!! Someone hacked my mothers account and bought a blackberry and changed the billing address!! But she didn’t know BECAUSE THEY CHANGED THE BILLING ADDRESS!! The only way we found out about this was that they keep calling ME to find out all kinds of info (that I am not privy to and wouldn’t pass on even if I was). AVOID VERIZON!!! She had to go to a store in person to try and clear this up because they didn’t believe she was who she said she was EVEN THOUGH THEY LET SOME SCAMMER DO EVERYTHING VIA PHONE.
    I’ll try to calm down and not yell now. Sorry for the yelling.

  30. Shadow © says:

    Question: Where has LGB disappeared off too? I just realized I haven’t seen her on here in a few days.

  31. JJtoob says:

    Just making sure you did RTFM. Unfortunately, we did forget to WTFM… Which equals fail.

  32. Delta Sierra says:

    And yet, still more informative than half the poorly translated instruction sheets/manuals I’ve ever seen.

  33. Elizabeth says:

    i wonder… no i bet that the phone number tells you to go check on the website and the website tells you to buy the manual…

  34. What, you didn’t already know what to do? :D

  35. Andrew Ong says:

    Hmm… Somebody who wrote that manual does not even know how to use stents.
    (Only a top cardiological surgeon knows how to actually use them – stents are coil-like scaffolds used to hold plaque-constricted coronary heart vessels open. Or, other methods can be used in alleviating coronary heart vessel constrictions.)

  36. Still better than Twilight.

  37. Justin Bieber says:

    Wow! This is a great post. I should write a song about it, “Just one less piece of paper” xD

  38. che says:

    RTFM gone wrong

  39. troll says:

    they managed to save lots of ink there, its a win!

  40. ChadFromAltell says:

    Oh!
    So thats how you do it?

  41. sirmaxx says:

    someone was just probably in a hurry to get home that night. i know how it is.

  42. dja says:

    I went to the site as described on the intentionally blank document and looked at the PDF… Over half of the 60 pages are marked as intentionally blank, I kid you not!

  43. Eddiebobjoe says:

    Way to be an environmentalist.

    please visit “http://www.youtube.com/failblog.org/2010/01/08/manual-fail/” for instructions on how to use this useless manual.

  44. Aeyvi says:

    A Luddite’s worst nightmare.
    A manual fail, but a call-to-technology win!

  45. Ryo says:

    …really?

    maybe they needed those few extra ounces for cheaper shipping…

  46. 2Foxxie4U says:

    If only Twilight was as riveting.

  47. See! More justin, more asterisks!

  48. HenyFG56 says:

    Well now we know to not use cordis
