  2. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    WowZ!!! :shock:

  3. Aja says:

    Good thing they were wearing hard hats.
    Oh, wait…

  4. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    Their names are Slip and Slide.

    *waves buhbye*

    Don’t forget to write.

  5. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    WooooHuuuuu Shadow!!!!!!

  6. ZombieApocalpyse says:

    *wheels out new stainless confetti cannon*
    *packs it tight*
    *safety*
    *fires across room, dives for cover*

    BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!ELEBENTY!!!

    Congrats Shadow!

  7. Olivios says:

    LOLS! I like how they slide.

  8. MeElDaWg says:

    You’ve Been Failed

    (This was on You’ve Been Framed)

    • Paranoimia says:

      Yup, and many, many years ago, too.

      • BoppitybopBopper says:

        You know what’s great? That this site puts “golden oldies” on for people such as myself that haven’t seen them before. Some complain about repeats or fails that have been found on other sites. Thank goodness not everyone is so rigid that it keeps people such as myself from enjoying re-run fails.
        :P

  9. Ms B ♥ says:

    Not feeling tied down? How freeing that must be.

  10. Aja says:

    And here, another British expedition, attempting to be the first man to successfully climb the north face of the Uxbridge Road.

  11. sauerkraut says:

    Splish splash they were taking a bath. …
    8-)

  12. foghat says:

    flushin’ the “two” down the drain

  13. ¡Great Carl Douglas! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni ▲Caution slow posts▲ says:

    They reached the end of their rope.

  14. Noconspiracy says:

    Rope rope rope your beat, gently down the stream!

  15. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    I agree that your incessant posts about visting your insignificant site is a whole lotta suck.

    BAN THE SPAMMER!!!

  16. Yentaleh says:

    As Bette Davis used to say: “Hang on tight, its going to be a bumpy ride.”

  17. Noconspiracy says:

    They need to get a grip.

  18. Cloral says:

    This would probably be a lot of fun if the surface wasn’t so rough. And the water wasn’t so cold.

  19. chez says:

    Rope: secure
    Grip: not so much.

    Yay for human error!

  20. Anne Chovi says:

    if theyre testing a new water park ride-slide, then it obviously works!

  21. jam says:

    Ay up, another northerner having a tug. 8O

  22. Flubber says:

    That was the hardest LOL for a long time for me.

  23. MrE says:

    Luckily they had their savety helmets perfectly fitted and tightened.

  24. Aja says:

    I hope they’re grounded.

  25. ZombieApocalpyse says:

    Alright – sanity check. I have multiple problems this morning, so maybe I’m just losing it.

    I have a wireless device (Apple AirPort Extreme) that’s not responding at a remote location. They called me this morning, saying they couldn’t get a computer to connect to the system or internet. The reason is because it’s only means of connection is this wireless device. So I asked them to unplug the device, wait 5 seconds, plug it back in and call me back. An hour and a half later, I can see on my network map the device is still down. I called them back and now have a second person trying to figure out how to unplug a white box from the wall and plug it back in.

    Does that really sound that freakin complicated to anyone? Find white box, remove it from power plug in wall, wait 5 seconds, put white box back where you found it, call me back. Why is it, 15 minutes and two employees later, this device is STILL down?

    *knows not to try to find snacks at this particular location* ;)

    • Avis says:

      We also have an AirPort (don’t know how Extreme it is though), and just now my computer lost contact with it. It’s in the same room!! It sits roughly eight feet away from the computer!! Then, it just “fixed” itself, all in about sixty seconds.
      How many white boxes are in that room?

    • carib says:

      *checks sanity*
      Working, within strange parameters
      *checks sanity of general populace*
      Nope, not there

      It’s confirmed. People in general are stupid. Sorry :(

    • Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

      Can you describe the white box?

      • Say g'night, Gracie says:

        Um, it’s purple with paisley stripes on it, and it’s shaped like a triangle.

      • ZombieApocalpyse says:

        Yes. It’s 3 inches by 3.5 inches by one inch and solid white. Plugged straight into the wall with an ethernet cable running from it to an ethernet plug on the wall nearby. It has what’s likely a solid green light on the side that should be flashing rapidly, it might be orange because it’s malfunctioning.

        The device is STILL down. Almost 3 hours and 2 employees later. I bet they make me drive out there to do this. What fun, a couple of hours of driving to spend 10 seconds unplugging and plugging a device back in, then another couple of hours of driving.

        Screw the bat, I’m taking the hoard.

        Oh, you were kidding. :)

        • RedHeadedStepChild says:

          You mean my Netgear router? Ok, just don’t ask me to work on a PC. I still can’t find the “Any” key. I must have the wrong keyboard. ;)

    • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni ▲Caution slow posts▲ says:

      It’s a wetware problem.

    • Say g'night, Gracie says:

      *considers introducing these employees to her personalized pink sparkly bat*
      *considers loaning ZA her bat so he can release some frustration on these employees*
      *squeeze*

    • Marius says:

      Sorry ZA, the entire office is down. Somebody unplugged the coffee maker.

    • RedHeadedStepChild says:

      I hate the Apple Airport personally. It can always get better though, they could be trying to simultaneously connect a Mac and a Vista PC. The Vista PC’s always like to mess with you then.

      Reminds me of the last time I had to deal with something like that. The guys were trying to force an RJ-11 into the RJ-45 port for the WAN.

      • ZombieApocalpyse says:

        Update: IBM showed up (I did mention multiple problems this morning, right?), checked out the failing tape drive, confirmed the replacement is on order and checked if they can do it Saturday (they have to take the damned server down to replace it, so it has to be after-hours).

        This AirPort Express in question is STILL down, over 3 hours and 2 employees later. I never would have guessed “unplug it, wait 5 seconds and plug it back in” would be so challenging. In fact I would almost guess something else was wrong, except 1. it worked for years until 6:08 last night and 2. they are supposed to call me afterward and haven’t done so yet. Neither of them.

        Zombie craves braaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiinnnzzzzzzzzz.

        • Arthur Eld says:

          A tape drive? “Press Play on Tape”?

          • ¡Great Scott! Me transmitte sursum, caledoni ▲Caution slow posts▲ says:

            Yes, that kind of tape, but typically either 8mm or 1/2 inch size cartridges. It’s still a very common media for long term storage, and the newer tapes have capacities measured in Terabytes.

  26. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    Woohoo! Water slide!

  27. Avis says:

    And spammer goes bye-bye! Wheeeeeee! Course now the comments are screwy, but who cares?

  28. Charlie says:

    that’s not a safety rope.. that’s a prevent fun rope

  29. Piglet says:

    Wow, 20 years after I first saw this, it’s still funny.

  30. Scaz says:

    He was right. A good solid safety rope is essential. Look what happens when you don’t have one. :)

  31. Say g'night, Gracie says:

    Off topic: One of our drivers just came in and asked me to do him a favor. If another (specific) driver calls, he wants me to put the other driver on hold for 20 minutes to half an hour! I asked what the other driver had done, and the first driver said, “Oh, nothing.”

  32. Dood says:

    wel.. THIS IS A REAL FAIL…

  33. BoppitybopBopper says:

    I don’t want that thing back. :ick: Bukkit’s by the sink. Don’t forget the bleach.

  34. Screen says:

    He just wanted to make a point why a GOOD AND SOLID rope is essential. Now i totally understand.

  35. Screen says:

    He just wanted to make a point why a GOOD AND SOLID rope is essential. Now i totally understand…

  36. Stefan says:

    Hahaha that was hilarious, hope they are ok with just a few bruises :)

  37. Joern Eagil says:

    atleast they had a safety rope : )

  38. Minty Green Guy says:

    So the guy with the accent breaks something AGAIN! Will they ever stop.

  39. ZombieApocalpyse says:

    I see bloggie nommed my clickie post. I hope he enjoyed it.

    Bastard.
  40. Avis says:

    *wonders why everyone is over at the previous fail, feeding a troll*

  41. Classic Cars says:

    What a funny video! Both are fall in water. :D

  42. Leila – Marius’s Otha Sista From Another Mista says:

    This could be the largest toilet yet.

  43. Schmock says:

    educational Video WIN ;)

  44. Minty Green Guy says:

    Now would be the perfect time for a new fail… If only I saved my magic gravy boat…

  45. Juuei says:

    “If I tug on this…” …It’ll come off?

    • Say g'night, Gracie says:

      *watches Juuei fall down*
      Yup, looks like it will.

    • ZombieApocalpyse says:


      I can leave it home, when I think it’s gonna get me in trouble,
      or I can rent it out, when I don’t need it.
      But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,
      and the next morning I can’t for the life of me
      remember what I did with it.

  46. Marius says:

    Two out of three posts nommed!
    I hope you choke on them blogmonster!
    *Sulks*

  47. Donald Zerli, etc. says:

    This happened in one of the large industrial bakeries where I worked:

    One of our guys (not the brightest one) was up on a ladder cleaning dust from the ceiling beams. This was about 35 feet up, and he was just using an extension ladder rather than an electric work platform, and working alone.

    Someone saw this, and yelled up to the guy that he should at least tie a rope from the beams to himself in case the ladder slipped.

    When he came back later, the guy on the ladder had, in fact, gone and found a rope, and tied one end to the beams and the other end to himself.

    Around his neck.

  48. Yesh says:

    well the helmet didn’t seem to work either :)

  49. youuuuuuuu says:

    fake

  50. gimpykat says:

    Simply marvelous!!

  51. Mordeir says:

    I didn’t kill my wife.

    I don’t care

  52. Vyazz says:

    OMFG!!!!!!!!!!………….Thats Freakin Hilarious!!!!!!

  53. Caveman5000 says:

    That’s my idea of a perfect fail. It has a moustache, lots of irony, a bit of action – another person unwillingly being involved in said action – and a laughing cameraman. It’s all there

  54. Captain Flymo says:

    This vid was on the UK ITV show You’ve Been Framed about 15-20 years ago back when Jeremy Beadle (aka The Claw) was presenting it.

  55. dama5t3r says:

    Nice water slide!!!!!

  56. dw says:

    Water slide win

  57. Scotslass says:

    Bloody Hell this brings back memories…It’s from a show called Weirs Way that used to air in the 1980s – my dad used to force me to watch it as a kid…This clip was a staple of It’ll be Alright on the Night and other ‘blooper’ type progs :)

  58. Andrew Ong says:

    Thanks for breaking the rope and hitting rock bottom, mate.

  59. Emily says:

    It’s funnier because he’s from Yorkshire. It wouldn’t be half as good if it were someone from, say, Glasgow or Liverpool falling into shit…on second thoughts – maybe it would be :D

  60. hardvin says:

    hahahahahah………. como movia esas paticas xD

  61. SuD says:

    Actually an actual and literal Fail.

  62. that guy says:

    “If I tug on this I fail”

  63. Andy says:

    Wow this is an old clip. I remember seeing this on the first series of ‘You’ve Been Framed’, about 20 years ago! I won best of the series if I remember correctly.
