    ice like that is fun

    “Careful!” *splat*

  7. POrtugal says:

    driving in ice is kind of impossible, he handle this!

    keep doing this good job. Gz for the site and cumps from the other side of the atlantic! Portugal!

    sry about bad english*

  10. Michael says:

  11. Ms B ♥ says:

    Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!

  12. Avis says:

    Looks like you would need ice skates to cross that street. Or ice cleats.
    Is that a canal or waterway at the end of the street? It looks like a boat just glides by.

    • TheMotts says:

      That would be a truck……Different from a boat cause a truck has wheels that roll along a paved road vs a boat which has a rudder and propeller
      *runsawayscaredforhislife*

      • Avis says:

        I can’t see the lower part of whatever it is. Also? My computer plays all videos badly, frames are missing, and it slooooooowwwws waaaaaaayyyyyyy dooooooowwwwwnnnnnn.

        • Jules ♂ ♪ with Nerf balls says:

          T_at mi_ht be a s_ight pr_blem.
          I am s_re i_’s noth_ng y_u ca_’t wor_ out.

          • Avis says:

            The sound oddly enough plays at normal speed, with no missing parts. Which can make easier or harder to figure out what happens, and when.
            We are supposed to get the computerS fixed at some point, but not until the problems get big enough to affect my step-fathers work.

            By that point, the computer will likely be dead.
    • SuzieQ says:

      Welcome to Iowa…that would be our weather today…and sadly to say, I got acquainted with the ice. Funny how one moment I’m standing, trying to get into my car and the next moment, I’m in a slushy water puddle. My knee and elbow could have used a heads-up…

  13. Leon says:

    that stupid british guy definitively needs driving lessons

    • Charles says:

      The recent cold snap has exposed how poorly equipped we are at driving on ice.

    • oKtosiTe says:

      Or some spiked tires, at the least.
      Here in Sweden I’m even riding my bike on ice without major issues.

      • tahrey says:

        BTW the lack of Snow Tyre / etc infrastructure & their general unsuitability outside of severely snowbound areas is the reason I’ve been off 2 wheels since just before Christmas :( —- finally released the suicycle from it’s redbrick prison a couple evenings ago. Going out on the icy roads with summer tyres would have been like signing your own death warrant. Unbelievably still saw some bikers about. One very nearly stacking it on a curve at speeds far below what even I as a relative newb would have managed in the rain. Others having to go along dragging their feet to stay upright… dunno what they do when needing to brake (front wheel braking? on ice? f*** off) or change gear…

        I’d love to have a go at scrambling through snowing land with proper knobbly, spiked tyres on, given how entertaining it is to do it through the forest or sandy tracks in better weather, but the car’s a much more practical option round here.

      • The_Zachalope says:

        Here in Michigan, spikes and chains are illegal on the roadways.

        • Lee says:

          Yeah, same for Wisconsin I’m pretty sure. I have never seen anyone using them, and I’m sure they would be pretty common if people could use them.

          I hear they mess up the roads pretty bad also.

    • Failer says:

      We probably get more driving tuition than you, from what I see, in foreign countries you turn a corner and get a driving licence. He’s just an arse, they exist.

  14. Sparty says:

    This looks like a slippery situation

  15. HeeYoo says:

    Slide on thy ice lolrus… Slide….

  16. pl says:

    in Soviet Russia, Ice slips on YOU!

  17. Joe says:

    There’s a railroad crossing down the hill, with a train there? It’s probably for the best that he gave up driving on that ice, then.

  18. hnms says:

    I don’t feel like dancing…

  19. and this name is required says:

    i dont feel like commenting

  20. Essayons says:

    Maybe it was the fact that the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car that hinders the drivers mobility. ;]

    • Failer says:

      No, that’s your problem with your country, you drive on the wrong side. Plus we have the highest standard of driving in the world, this arse just lets the team down. :/

    • tahrey says:

      I think you mean the RIGHT side…… ha!

      Having the clutch and the gearstick operated by the same side of the body (& brain) helps the co-ordination dontcha know.

      Though I’ll capitulate that it doesn’t explain why the Finns are still better ralliers. They used to be LHD, mind.

      • Jane says:

        Probs cos they spend so long learning to drive. They have to do lessons for a year, practice on wet surfaces, do winter driving etc etc before they can even take their test!

  21. 696969696969 says:

    boobs ftw!

  22. Dirk says:

    alright, alright, alright

    yeah sure … ;)

  23. Avis says:

    Has some area been given a snow day today?

  24. ber says:

    Looks a bit scripted if you ask me.

  25. ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni says:

    “This? This is ice. This is what happens to water when it gets too cold. This? This is Kent. This is what happens to people when they get too sexually frustrated”

  26. Sewicked says:

    We get weather/ice like that so often around here. Not quite every winter but almost. I was once inching my way across a freshly scraped (read – sheet of ice) parking lot. I made a perfect ‘v’, despite my care. The gents at the top of the hill clapped. My coccyx did not approve or appreciate that.

  27. Nananana says:

    you smell that? its the smell of a fake.

  28. chez says:

    It’s like he has no concept of the properties of ice. Repeatedly he tries to move on it and fails to understand that it changes how you move over surfaces.

    • Avis says:

      I particularly liked the sort of jump from the sidewalk to the street.

      • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni says:

        It was pretty clear he had no clue as soon as he started spinning his tires as fast as he did.

      • czuhc says:

        The “AARRH” and “ARRUH” at 00:28 and 00:32 crack me up each time.

      • SuzieQ says:

        Apparently there was a barrier seen only by him…or a very odd game of hopscotch.

      • hasabrain says:

        It’s called a ‘path’ and a ‘road’.

        • tahrey says:

          Not sure what part of Britain calls it just “path”. Footpath, maybe, in some places. “Pavement” everywhere else, given that our sidewalks come from an age before metalled roads. The bit at the side was the only paved part.

          And the bit in the middle could be road, highway, carriageway, lane… and the very literal tarmac, even. And definitely Street is allowed.

          OK, that’s your cross cultural learning for the day done. Back to the lolcats.

  29. crestuckymatt says:

    “Slide, Slide, Slippity-Slide, With switches on the block of a ’65″

  30. oKtosiTe says:

    Are you the guy from the video?
    If not, you two do share some genetic trait. :-P

  31. And now for something completely different: The Ministry of Silly Walks.

    (Monty Python fans will remember that one!)

  32. el gato says:

    no, defendant no Monty python fans here…;)

  33. goodness-geishas says:

    sumbody needs ta speed this shit up and put the Benny Hill theme behind it. total hit

  34. mel says:

    front-wheel fail

    • tahrey says:

      i’m hoping you mean in relation to 4wd rather than rwd. 2wd to the rear is even greater fail on ice than front. And superfail for trying to reverse uphill, for the same reason that using the handbrake is less than 50% as effective as the pedal (which activates the fronts more forcefully than the rears).

      always remember too, kids: 4wd only helps for when you need to apply power. it may have helped dingus here get up the hill; but as he was having trouble keeping the car on-track with the same 2-wheel steering and 4-wheel braking that a 4×4 has, probably not.

  35. phonono says:

    Hahaha! Owning a private car = automatic fail.
    The guy doesn’t even know how to walk properly. DEVOLUTION!

  36. A-train says:

    HAHA it almost looks like the car is running ova him ^_^

  37. Wolf Seril says:

    Dear Britian,

    Gutters.

    Love,
    America.

  38. Al Gore says:

    Global warming could have saved them!! How inconvenient that it’s never around when you really need it.

    • Steve Cannon; Flaming Republican says:

      Hey, uh, Al Gore. How’s that book of yours doing?
      *Fake chuckles*
      It’s getting so cold these days! I’m confused.
      *Fake chuckles*

      • karamazov says:

        Global warming is an increase in the mean temperature over time ALONGSIDE higher variability, meaning hotter summer days and COLDER WINTER DAYS.

        • Rick says:

          WAKEY WAKEY!

        • tahrey says:

          To tackle the subject properly, it’s Anthropogenic (man-made) Climate Change as a result of Global Warming. One of the supposed effects is a risk of the Gulf Stream (which, along with its island status, keeps Britain considerably warmer in winter than the New York – Nova Scotia area and northern central europe, despite being on the same latitudes) weakening or collapsing completely, which could lead to us being completely icebound from November to February. This may be the start of it.

          On the other hand, we had FAR worse than this upto the 60s. 6 to 10ft high drifts and all that. We actually had years where people were recommended to switch to winter tyres and snowploughs gave up on gritting the roads they were clearing. Perhaps the largely (but not entirely) unbroken run of moderate winters we’ve had since is the climatalogical elephant in the room instead? We invented the industrial world after all; figures we’d bear the early brunt of the aftereffects.

  39. Wwe Nutty says:

    Did that guy NOT learn to walk?

  40. 32342 says:

    Ice + British People = Hilarity!

  41. Brad says:

    Winter and British drivers = FAIL

    Come to Canada… we’ll teach you how to drive… and walk!

    • tahrey says:

      as above, for scandinavia … you’re much better set to deal with it largely _because_ the greater length and harshness of your cold seasons allows you to adapt more efficiently.

      we’re happy to let your laughter at our one or two days of fail ring hollow whilst our early flowers start to sprout, yet you’re still icebound.

  42. ww1flyingace says:

    He had 4 fails

    Failed to park car
    Fell twice (2 falls)
    and failed to push the car…..

    Total fail

  43. Faith says:

    Fail is the silly bint filming instead of helping!

  44. frenchie says:

    Let me break the ice.

  45. Bex says:

    Serves him right for revving the shit out of his car instead of driving properly

  46. olleolle says:

    FAKE

  47. George says:

    I don’t know what’s more FAIL, the COMPLETELY SET-UP video, or what actually happens in it?

    • tahrey says:

      There is the question as to “why would you come out and film your boyfriend driving off in his car?”. But then, cameraphones are ubiquitous now, and she may have noticed his initial difficulty, sensed hilarity to come, and whipped out the ol’ mobile…

      • Vicki says:

        You are correct! Well I was actually filming (I have about 20mins of footage) to show his work why he was going to be VERY late that day lol. I was literally standing outside in a dressing gown and winter boots :S

  48. wait wut? says:

    Gee, I’m not getting any traction on the ice. Maybe if I push the gas pedal down farther, I’ll get some grip.

    • tahrey says:

      Can work, if the ice is thin enough and you’re in such a pickle that burning half a litre of fuel for every metre you ungracefully lurch forwards when the tyres finally melt thru to the road surface is a better choice than sitting where you are.

      Probably on a loser if you’re moving opposite (or perpendicular) to the intended direction of travel at the time, though.

  49. tahrey says:

    But after all … why does this make me lol so? Slapstick win, here.

    If only the guys who came round doing a recall replacement on all our workstation PSUs hadn’t managed to break the speakers (after putting the hard disk back in upside down and bending the case…) :-/

  50. Bumble says:

    That’s Ice cold victory!

  51. Pupples says:

    That video made me feel helpless and out of control. And dizzy too.

  52. Anne Onymous says:

    The really scary thing is that this twat was even trying to drive a car on that road. These are the kind of people you hope will stall on a level crossing.

    • Vicki says:

      It’s a closed-off hill at the bottom, so he was putting nobody on the street in danger, and the other parked car on the road was mine. The main road (at the top of the hill) was gritted, as was his entire route to work (where he was trying to get.. I filmed this on my phone to show his boss why he was going to be very late, and this was at the end.

    • Quote “These are the kind of people you hope will stall on a level crossing”

      Prize Twat!

  53. Vicki says:

    he got so chris brown’d

  55. Gerald says:

    d’oh!! what a loser =)

  56. eupheminism says:

    You know, the Airwick audio advertisement started up when I played this video.

    The moment the seam split: “Why, hello there. *sniff* That’s what I’m talking about.”

  57. SWIFT says:

    Now, see the problem with front wheel drive…?

  58. Squatch says:

    This guy is definitely NOT from Minnesota

  59. craigd08 says:

    were not gonna take it lol

  60. Poor Guy. I hope he didn’t have to go anywhere in a hurry. Worst time to drive – black ice on a hillside.

  61. cheygurl18 says:

    I fell like that today lol

  62. Heather Marie says:

    Totally understand. We had two big ice storms here in Indiana this winter, and it got so bad I slipped and fell, then slid halfway down our driveway. Craziness.

  63. This is classic. I feel so sorry for this guy. man.

  64. Looks like that day is one of those days you wish you never had to go through.

  65. Hilarious, I can’t help but laugh.. so bad.
