Should be “TV message win”
Worthless Fail. Many people could have easily duplicated this on their own television.
GOOGLE: FREE HUGS FAIL
Exactly, but funny (maybe we could make a list of other shows we’d like to do this to).
The set is a Panasonic flat panel set.
To do this yourself: Tune to a TV show using a terrestrial (i.e., rooftop or “rabbit ears”) TV antenna, then unplug the antenna. The “no content” box will pop up in a few seconds.
Conan sucked!
Being a Late Night with Conan fan, it pains me to agree. Conan for the Tonight Show was fail. He was better in his old setting in NY at the later time slot. Leno is great at what he does, despite what imbeciles say about him.
Yeah, as much as I used to like watching Late Night, I knew Conan wasn’t going to work on the Tonight Show. It’s way too conservative an audience for his brand of comedy.
Yeah, tell me about it! People with valid opinions are completely stupid!
Alright dude why defend Leno, seriously? He really is not good at what he does, he is the world’s worst interviewer. Hes a talk show interviewer right? He may be good at stand up, but he absolutely sucks at writing/performing sketches or comedy pieces. So he is great at the monologue and terrible at everything else.
every talk show has no content, this should be posted as warning on tv schedules
Epic Win
OMG I was first ._.
I concur…
Seems like a cable WIN to me.
Also: Host has no shame.
It wasn’t Leno’s fault. NBC and their executives just plain suck!
He always could’ve said, “no thanks.”
Which would have lead to NBC finding two new hosts since they wouldn’t keep a flop in that timeslot.
Not true at all. The problem was NOT Conan’s ratings, but Jay’s.
It was both (Leno’s ratings at 10/9C did not meet the ratings NBC had been hoping for, and Conan’s ratings at 11:35/10:35C were below those Leno had and Letterman).
A larger problem was affiliates. It seemed to make sense to NBC to replace expensive (particularly after a prolonged writers’ strike) drama programming with a far less expensive comedian sitting at a desk, even of the ratings would be a little lower.
But the drop was greater than NBC expected, and their local affiliates were upset that fewer viewers in the 10pm hour meant fewer viewers staying with the local stations for their 11pm newscasts (which is how most local stations make money).
I don’t think anyone was seriously expecting Conan to immediately have Leno’s old ratings. That’s a preposterous assumption for NBC to make if they did. Not even Leno had Leno’s old ratings in primetime. It was clearly a problem with Leno’s ratings, Conan’s ratings were fair. They were much stronger (actually at Leno’s numbers) before Letterman’s scandal then straight after that Jay returned with his awful lead-in.
Trufax
Would you give up your job so someone else could have it?
Isn’t that precisely what Conan O’Brien did? He gave up his job so the late night hosts behind him wouldn’t lose theirs.
If he did, that was his decision. I don’t see how anyone can place blame on Leno if Conan decided to step down. Kudos to Jay if he stuck to his guns, while Conan decided to cave.
However, I don’t think anyone on the outside knows the real story of what happened. I think that when the true story eventually comes out, the villains in this saga will be the executives, not Jay. But that’s just my opinion.
Conan said his reason for not going along with the change in time slots that was originally proposed was because it would be the destruction of the Tonight Show, and I agree. The Tonight Show has been in that same time slot for a long, uninterrupted time, and the idea to give Jay his old time slot back and move the Tonight Show was arrogant and selfish. Baby wanted his bottle, and he got it.
“HONESTY IN TV NETWORK PROGRAMMING” ___WIN!___
I’d call that a win.
Did Leno’s jaw drop when he saw this? It woulda put the Chilean earthquake to shame.
It will cause “The Big One” in California.
What’s the fail? This is completely true
BAHHAHAHAH YOU ROCK JOHN
HAHAHAA FIRST!!!
Mmmmmmmm first is finding interesting respectable salvageable topic.
I thirst for more info on the reason.
fail, oh. and my name
Hey, Kill… I saw you been responding to “first”ers, and I wanted to ask you to stop doing that. You’re just giving them what they’re looking for (attention, doesn’t matter what kind), and that just encourages them. kthxbai.
No comment.
What a douche. Bring back Conan!!! Epic cable win!
Yeah you do seem like a douche. Bring back Conan to Late Night.
Fun, fun, fun!!! Another new fail!!
Leave me alone.
Nesting fail princess it was for silkyJohnson316
I don’t know, Eagles.
Your past two nesting fails were conveniently misplaced.
It’s not the real Eagles. I don’t yet know how I feel about that.
Not the real Eagles?
With as little offense possible, who’d want to impersonate Eagles?
Only a fool.
Ouch
Now I am really confused.
That impostor I told you about.
I sent an email. Should be gone shortly.
*squeeze*
I love you. You know that, right!???
That was directed to DW. For what it’s worth.
Is this why the threads vanished?
Failblog has changed sooo muuch.
Directed at DW
Muuch sooo changed has Failblog.
I want to go back to the lovely all nighters I spent talking with you guys.
We’re working on that Caine, we are working on getting back to those all nighters.
Who got zapped that caused the blog kaflooey?
If I had to guess, the impostor. At least I hope. Even if he wasn’t an impostor.
Boy this joint has really gone through an eggbeater. I can’t make heads or tails of it. It looks like some of 5E’s posts are gone, but not all. For everyone’s edification, 5E and I have always got along fine. Less prickly and more gentle guidance all around might help.
You were never subjected to his meaner side. Count yourself lucky in that regard. He doesn’t respond to “gentle guidance”. Believe me, we’ve TRIED!!!
From what I’ve seen plowing through old fails, this be true.
Me and 5E also got along back when he was a greenhorn.
I’ve gots to remember to put an @ in front of my replies down here. Way up there ^ the comments works fine.
Lets try this again. 5 Eagles. Impostor or not.
M-me too… *sniff*
As a lurker, I love hearing you guys talk. And I remember you too, Caine.
Why am I so shocked that so many people remember me?
Oh and quit your lurking and join the party.
Stricken, lurking is good!!! It allows one to learn the rule of the game before jumping in. I highly recommend it to everyone! Many of us regulars lurked before commenting.
If hes been lurking since before I left, hes been lurking for a good 6 months.
Lurking can be very beneficial!
A tip from a friend 5E. Referring to Avis as “princess” ain’t going to help.
No, it won’t. It really, REALLY won’t.
*squeezescoyote*
You have been known to crown people on occasion.
By crown, do you mean thwack?
BINGO!
Excellent!
Sorry Avis I apologizes for the princess remark but it was an honest mistake and you jumped all over me. I need help someone is using my avatar and name on some of the fails.Who do I tell about this?
You don’t. You were (apparently not so effectively) banned. Why do you feel the need to pretend to be someone you aren’t.
That should have had a question mark.
*sigh*
Man, you werent messin around about dark times for failblog.
I don’t joke about things like this.
Oh, I didn’t think you were joking. I just didn’t think it was this bad either.
It’s not always like this. What’s weird is I find myself playing referee. AND the voice of reason. And that, my friend, is scary.
I miss the old failblog.
Whatever happened the the blogmonster and his troll bashing goodness?
Or brewski (personal reasons I know)
Or anyone else I onnly see 3 regs, and one is an imposter (maybe)
I’m reserving judgement now on that impostor. Most of the regs aren’t on in the evening. Dunno why.
Going through some of the older fails, failblog is depressing me.
Wouldn’t a depressed suit be wrinkled?
I see what you did there.
This thread has a steamy future, I can tell.
*insert pun about pressing here*
Perhaps this will help dispel the darkness.
*Slips on shades*
Looks like the future.
I was not banned. Maybe the admins figured it out check today’s fails I have been on today. They must look at e-mail addys. Do you know how I can get a hold of the admin.?
Coyote I know you are very sick physically we suffer from both vital organs problems.
My, your grammar and punctuation have gotten MUCH better in the past 24 hours or so.
I know how to get in touch with them, but until you prove yourself I am not gonna help you.
Go to ICHC site. And find my profile. Meegwetch for the compliment. I have been learning. I still want to put a period at the end of a sentence with a question mark.LOL
I read your blog on a daily basis looking for hints in how to deal with inchy skin. You stole my finches a long time ago cause you eat finches?.
Inchy skin? I LIBERATED those finches.
Liberated yes sorry about the eat word.
Avis eats birds?!? But…but…wouldn’t that be CANNIBALISM?!??
You did want that chicken spice rub recipe didn’t you?
mmm chicken.
At the bottom of the page click on CONTACT US.
Meegwetch coyote. I have read you web site and find it umm sad. Alot of question I have.
Web site? I don’t have a web site. Or do you mean Chemoangles?
I like the name Chemoangles. The woman I walk with mother had the”C’ word and went through chemo and was bald as I was. I made her feel it was alright.
What is with the “the woman I walk with” thing? Is there something wrong with my girlfiend, or my fiance, or my wife? Really we women won’t take offense to that wording. But the one you use seems… like an attempt not to piss us off. Is it a cultural thing? I might understand that.
To “walk out” with someone is an old term. Calm down. He was talking to me.
I remain neutral on this, but what if its just a woman he walks with?
Maybe there happens to be a woman who walks in the same direction he does every day, and he just kinda walks with her?
I repeat: I remain Neutral on this.
They have kids. It’s not just a casual acquaintance.
Oh. Ok.
It’s so new, it’s, like, not old!
*Rimshot*
*Adjusts tie*
*groans*
*scones*
*moans*
*bones*
*tones*
*phones*
*drones*
Oh, methinks that might be a win.
I concur.
This is no fail.
*dials 911*
Operator: Currently there is no content to contact the police/firefighters/hospital/etc.
pssst dail 333.!
or 211
867-5309
or 999
Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s a win.
Does the phrase “Leno Fail” even need a pic? Isn’t it just a general rule?
That is a pretty good summary of his show.
I don’t see what’s so funny about this.
We aren’t all that surprised by that.
In all honesty I think someone just used MSPaint on it. Why would the notification be on the left…
It probably was floating around the screen. I get a message like that if the remote isn’t on the “Satellite” setting.
I guess not all satellites are different. Should’ve known.
Erm *same, not different
I suspect the message would be there due to its moveing around the screen: given the risks of burning in associated with prolonged static images on some screen types, error messages may move to avoid damage (like those on computer screen savers).
Qwaz is probably right: given the risk of burning in associated with prolonged static !m@ages on some kinds of screens, some equipment will have moving messages (as with computer screensavers).
Panasonic has the on-screen messages move from place-to-place on the screen to avoid image rentention on the plasma screens (and perhaps on LCD screens as well).
Can’t say it’s lying.
*Thinks over past couple of days*
Find your happy place, find your happy place…
WAIT! Damn, this is my happy place, and it’s being plagued!
I KNOW!!!!
I’m just back off of a 6 month commenting break. And I feel your pain.
Good to have you back, by the way. Your avatar seems welcoming and sinister at the same time.
It reminds me of Magrite
I LIKE Magrite!!
I’m also pretty sure I misspelled that!
Needs another ‘t’
T-H-A-T Nope. You got it right.
The surrealist painter?
(Clicky; It’s raining men!)
That’s the one!!
Woah, wait wait wait. You remember me?
And I look bad-@$$ in a suit.
Of course. Given, I was still a tad green then and we didn’t speak much, but hey.
I see…
You can remember a small time commenter from 6 months ago?
I’m just in shock. I’m a very forgettable person.
I never forget a suit.
But this suits only recent…-.-
Well, yes, and wheretofore…
I remember the name as well, maybe my brain just superimposed the suit for me.
Bah, just know you’re remembered and welcome.
Bah, and I just know I’m shocked I’m remembered.
I remember you, too.
*gives Caine a cookie*
Now I’m even more shocked!!!!
Are you the reason the threads went keblewie??
oh btw *squeeze*
I thought that the church sign fail went along in a very civilized manner. At least as civilized as any conversation can be where religion is part of the topic.
Okay people far far too much gloom here. You force me to bring out the big guns. Remember YOU ASKED FOR IT!

*grinning like an idiot now*
Isn’t that “eediot”?
Goodness, those ARE some big guns.
Well done Coyote!
Had me giggling after the first line. After the second, I was singing along. After the third….well, I won’t say what happened. Just….thanks for the smiles.
You don’t have to say. It’s already on YouTube.
Well, at least the burnt fur grew back. That way I’m not nekkid on YouTube.
*SNORK!!!!*
*puts on poker face*
Of course you’re not nekkid on YouTube!! Just put that silly thought outta your head.
*puts on joker head*
*scrolls through recently uploaded vids on YouTube*
Eep! Ohmygoshlookit! *points* That’s ME!!?!
Wait…on second thought DON’T LOOK!!! NOOOOOOO!!!
Curse you LCB! *shakes fists*
Why shouldn’t we look? You look goooooooooooooooooooood!
And guys…for the record, if you continue to post comments in response to comments from the borked thread, the blog will continue to bork. If you respond only to non-borked comments, all will be just fine.
*has no idea if that actually made sense*
*perchance had a wee bit too much wine with dinner tonight*
*comforting squeezes*
Wait, where does the borking begin????
Didn’t your mother tell you anything?
Bork Bork Bork! Sherdy flerdy no okey dokey Bork Bork!
Programer Win
Stop hating on Jay. He has more cars and more money than we could ever dream of.
~And that is what all of us aspire to.~
Because money = character, right?
TV WIN! (I swear, failblog is getting dumber and dumber at being able to distinguish between fails and wins).
Nope EIPC WINN!!!!
Wow, that was fast!
Is the blog broken?
Removal of trolls sometimes results in nesting screw-ups.
ups-screw
sups-crew
Ahh! Thanks for clearing that up.
Prepare for… ZERO GRAVITY
*Floats around* Wheeee!
Am I going crazy, or did a thread just dissolve?
That NEVER happened before!1!1!1
I’m scared
*cowers in corner*
*lurks by and gives blanket and hot chocolate to Caine*
*crawls over to counter to get marshmallows. Resumes cowering*
This happens a lot nowadays. Whenever a troll’s post gets deleted all the replies get flung willy-nilly into the ether.
actually, this is a WIN.. TS with chin boy sucks balls!!!
long live CoCo!!
I DON’T LIKE THIS!!!!
Woah woah woah, Let’s just chill out and float…
*Pushes off wall, places hands behind head*
Ahh…
It scares me.
Friend of mine back home in Houston had the distinct honor of twice getting to ride in Nasa’s “vomit comet”, the one used to train Astronauts for weightlessness. He said there were no words to describe the feeling of floating. I was very envious.
This should be a “win.”
Well, I suppose I’ll just have to grab a cup of french-pressed hazlenut coffee bear with it. Anyone want some?
Throws in an and.
5Eagles.
Where are you K@?
K@?! I want to talk to you!
Will the blog stay borked?
The blog will stay borked for some time, as per usual.
What is going on?
Why is it doing this?
Unborkage.
because TPB pwned a troll, or a possible imposter of a troll.
PTB!!!!
Sorry, I was thinking in the light of The Powers That Be.
But still that would the TPTB.
*grins*
You know, I could probably star a pun run here. I’m just no good at those though.
You don’t have to planet, a good pun run will star on its own.
Just be careful not to make an asteroid of yourself.
I won’t crater to your demands!
It wasn’t a demand. I was just making a comet.
*moons Coyote*
Shall we meteor in the middle then?
*refuses to do a seventh planet joke to DW*
Sorry, Coyote…I’m just quarky that way!
My brane just refuses to work that way.
I shan’t crater to your demands!
D’oh! *computer goes bork*
Darn you. Darn you all and your pun run skills.
Ok, we need to reference what we’re talking about or none of this will make sense!!
Drama.
Sorry Avis. Sorry Eagle.
I believe that neithr of you deserve this.
I apologize for butting into this. I could not go unheard any longer.
Nobody on here deserves the drama that has been going on here.
I blame nobody for this drama. It happens.
Let’s try to get through this.
Are you familiar with the past drama in this particular situation?
Actually yes.
That what I meant by “Going unheard any longer” because I have witnessed alot on here.
Some people can be downright cruel. Nobody in particular in this case.
I’m sorry you have to deal with this.
I can’t wait for this to be better again.
Then you know about his attacks on others. On people I call friends. You know about his basic ass-holishness. His attacks on me. No. I don’t have to like him. Not after that.
As strange and ass-holey as this sounds, I wish I had the ability to dislike someone as you do. Not once in my life have I ever been able to truly dislike someone.
Agrees with EpicBlowfish March 10, 2010 at 7:25 pm.
Great. Now it starts nesting properly.
Thanks for agreeing with me, Coyote.
Do you have a nickname? (Mine is EBF)
Sorry, I have to Swim away now.
Try to work this out! Bye!
*Splashes Away*
You’re welcome. Gentleness is not always easy. It helps if one thinks of others as preschool children (in a good way).
Nickname? Not that I know of. Although some may be coming up with a few names after being likened to preschoolers.
My head hurts now
The t.v NEVER lies.
Did everyone abandon me?
Oi, I guess so. Its lonely here on the blogs at night.
*sings*
Aaaallllll byyyyyy myseEelff don’ wanna be aallll by myseEelff anymore!
I’m not good with silence.
I would reply, but there is no telling where it would end up. So I won’t say anything.
It nested correctly! Now I wish that I had said something. Which I didn’t.
If you were to say it now, would it be worth waiting for?
I can’t really say.
Silence?
Silence is golden!
*steals silence*
So are years….would you like some of mine?
*runsawayfast*
*snicker*
I agree – this is a tv error WIN
dude jay lenos awesome
I’m talking about FORM,
I’m talking about CONTENT.
Accuracy win!
This is a WIN for smart TV labeling.
This looks really fake lol look at the lil msg it way to far to the left…. i think all msgs like that would appear in the middle
that’s so ironically true
Last!!!
TV WIN
Isn’t that the point of the show?
hi this is my first comment
definitely a “WIN”
WTF it’s a win!
no fail
To start with, any rose bush needs a enough degree of nitrogen. This markets your “healthy environment friendly growth” for the herb. Also, each increased by desires phosphorous so that you can maintain a solid underlying cause method and blossom output. And at last, ones own rose — regardless of category — requirements potassium now for the continuing vigorous increase. The best bet is to buy the entire plant food. This contains nitrogen, phosphate, in addition to potash.
