  1. adsf says:

    …………

    Anyone got large amounts of rubbing alcohol?

  2. Mo says:

    Lol… That sucks.

    • Jibble says:

      I’m not one of those typical fake troll @$$hats… but seriously… I understand German… and that chick sounded like she was speaking complete jibberish. Secondly, assuming she’s speaking a real European (jibberish) language, they don’t wash their hands in Europe. Totally fake!

      • masterpeef says:

        She is speaking Dutch, I know, because I am Dutch. Secondly, the retard washing his hands is clearly American, so even if we don’t wash our hands in Europe (we do wash our hands on special occasions of course) Americans do. So totally real!

      • Gdgggfr says:

        The American dude couldn’t tell pee from water. Enough said.

        • Joseph K says:

          No wonder Europeans think Americans are total idiots

          • Essayons says:

            Yes, because a Bidet isn’t a strange restroom practice.

            • xv745 of the 12° Rotated Quilt Clan says:

              Frankly, a stream of clean water makes more sense than a piece of thin paper for certain jobs…

            • makesmesick says:

              oh come on, comments like europeans don’t wash their hands(im from the uk and we certainly do) and bidets are strange won’t ever make the guy washing his hands in a urinal look any better or smarter!

              • Julya says:

                Ok…question, men use bidets after they pee?

                Let’s put this in perspective, this is a report about a Dutch concert, somewhere out in the open. Do they have bidets at concerts in the US?

                And as I stated elsewhere, the Port-a-potty has a build in wash basin, the guy should just have washed his hands before coming out.

                • maglindracia says:

                  I’ve never seen a porta potty with anything but a stinky hole in it, usually no TP, and certainly not a wash basin. Nor have i ever seen an outdoor urinal at a concert ..correction, a purposefully set up outdoor urinal, seen lots of guys letting it fly.
                  The point is, dude should have looked at the yellow water he was swishing in, for the love of post modern civilization!

                • makesmesick says:

                  of course men don’t use bidets after they pee, but for some users to state that the guy swishing around in a urinal and using a urinal cake for a soap is not that bad because some europen countries restrooms have bidets(only in their own home) and that makes us strange, the 2 don’t compare! also to say europeans don’t wash their hands wow jut wow, if i had to pick between washing my hands in stale urine or not at all i’d have to pick not at all every time, and hose portable toilets do have sinks!

                  • Julya says:

                    I really think the guy has a strange perception of European water. If water looks like in the urinal I stay away from it. By the way, outdoor concerts are places where cleanliness is hard to maintain, there are taps to get water, but usually what the concert makes money on IS the sale of drinks and food not so much on the sale of tickets. I would not be surprised that in this concert (which was free entry) things like going to the toilet of using tapwater costs money. Especially because tapwater in the Netherlands is safe to drink.

                    • opack says:

                      Didja ever think that they are IN America, and she was doing a foreign show? That old American isn’t on holiday on the netherlands! Thats back home in the states, in some backwoods festival

                      • as if you really care anymore says:

                        no, no, they are in some Dutch speaking country because at the beginning of the clip there is a sign in Dutch which reads “hoge nood” and that means, essentially, “first aid”.

                • makesmesick says:

                  it doesn’t matter what they have in concerts in the us, or what they have in concerts in holland, whether they have urinals whether they have open wash basins that look exactly the same, the guy was washing his hands in stinking urine with a urinal cake and he didn’t even notice until after a while i just wonder how many americans do this without being caught on camera! i do feel bad for himn though.

        • destructorv2 says:

          the bright side, at least the toilet doesn’t look as bad as china

        • Anonymous Coward says:

          Hey, of course the American (more fair to say U.S. – since there are North and South America, and U.S. is just part North America.) can’t tell the difference! Has anyone here had US “beer”???? To be fair, many small breweries in the US are making beer with flavor, but the supermarket-variety is, ummmm, “like sex in a canoe,” you know, “f*cking close to water”

      • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        It’s funny, I know of very few people who feel the need to start off a conversation by stating they are not an asshat.

      • Vanco says:

        You are the one failing here: this is a real language, Dutch, MY language… Get your things straight before you judge things…

        • Julya says:

          You understood what Jibble was saying, it sounded like complete jibberish to me, he must never wash his mouth with urine, like we europeans do

      • niels says:

        dude its not german its dutch, dont try smart

  3. Critter Rhode says:

    “Hay guy, Urine a lot of trouble.”

  4. snuh says:

    He looked like the kinda guy that wouldn’t have washed his hands if he hadn’t been on camera.

    Too bad he was on camera!

  5. Math says:

    Welcome to beerfest!

  6. bushfails says:

    so close to being first…

  7. Hamsi says:

    That´s just so ugh….. O_O;

  8. Random says:

    That is just a ROFL fail.

  9. mijão da piça do caralho says:

    first to right first

  10. Runman says:

    The dutch (L)

    hou ervan

  11. Dirk says:

    Who is that blonde girl?

  12. William says:

    Not Washing Your Face WIN

  13. Gold says:

    BEVRIJDINGSPOPPPPPPPPP
    omg ik was daar… t was zo vet maar zoo ranzig wat die man daar doet xD

    Translation:
    omg I was there.. it was so awesome but it is so disgusting what that dude does xD

  14. nightshayde says:

    I have a feeling I don’t want to know what’s in this video…

    *cannonballs into a vat of Purell*

    • The Ghost of Many says:

      It is a wee bit disturbing.

    • chez says:

      No, you don’t. Especially not if it’s dinner time where you are.

    • The Ghost of Many says:

      Let’s just say if he had Purell he wouldn’t be in the mess he was.

    • Cloral says:

      Urine the right about that one!

    • ZombieBlurryDescription - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open with his brainz exposed, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Po says:

      Well, you see we start off with this blond girl on camera playing the part of a reporter. She’s speaking some foreign language (Dutch presumably) and wandering off to the right, apparently unaware of the signs in the background reading “TOILET”. She approaches a metal trough near a swarm of those blue portable outhouses and despite the fact that it looks like someone spilled a Mountain Dew in it, she doesn’t seem to get where she is until some guy steps out of one of the portables. She seems embarrassed enough before the guy even approaches the trough and …

      We look away because we know what’s going to happen next by the title of the fail and we just don’t want to get sick. The trees are rather pretty this time of year, the grass is exceptionally green and there doesn’t seem to be an overpass in sight. Someone says something that would make us sick if we were listening to it, so we just ignore it. Even when she agrees with him and says “whoa”.

      We pan back just in time to see the overpass come out of nowhere and knock her upside the head.

      “He probably just wanted to save water.” Very demotivational shows us Avis’ reaction and some quilted one powers with “guess some guys dont mind the lack of privacy…” The lack of capitalization, apostrophe or punctuation usage kills the bike dude, who again needs to be brought back with a bolt of lightning to scream out … DOT ORG!

      • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        Guess I need to shorten that montage little. Po seems a bad name for my zombie horse, especially around these parts.

      • Julya says:

        Actually this girl is a reported who says to the camera (we start in the middle of the report) “we have access so let’s go in and see how clean it is”
        Apparently her report is about festival hygiene.
        Then she says “Oh this apparently is the mens section” and when she comes closer to the urinal she says “a big layer of foam” referring to the urine.
        Then the guy gets out and washes his hands in the urine using the blue soap then stops when he notices his error and asks in english “this isn’t the urinal is it?”

      • Moi says:

        actually she was going to check the hygiene of the toilets…

      • Dutch says:

        She doesn’t wander off to the toilets. She said: “One thing I hate on a festival is waiting for the toilets.” (This part is cut out). Then she said: “On this moment we can take a look inside”

    • Jenny IsBusy says:

      *bursts into song*
      “And I can’t fight this feeling anymore…”
      Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in any longer.

  15. chez says:

    The failblog diet works again……

  16. Austinoo says:

    he is probably better off sticking his hand up a horse’s ass

  17. boobie says:

    I like how he goes back into the port-a-potty. Probably going to watch his hands in the toilet now.

    • Julya says:

      These port-a-potty’s usually have a small plastic sink, he might have seen that on his way out, so I reckon he’s going back to wash his hands.

      • Hope says:

        If that’s true, why would he have skipped the sink and come out looking for another one?

        • Julya says:

          Maybe for the same reason that he mistook piss for washwater?
          The guy obviously doesn’t know what a sink looks like? He didn’t know this was a urinal either.

        • Portrait says:

          He wasn’t going to wash his hands.

          Then he saw cameras and panicked, thinking “Jesus I need to do something”, causing him to “wash” his hands in what is clearly a urinal with what is clearly a urinal cake.

          • maglindracia says:

            Yep and then he ran away in shame, though he could not flee his drippy hands, you can just see him looking and cringing at them as he bolts for the nearest hidey spot.

            • Julya says:

              And he thought, oh well, it’s just Dutch television, who in the US sees this?
              And voila it’s on YouTube and on the failblog ;)

  18. boobie says:

    *wash

    • changeling says:

      Watch you mouth out!

    • TMI Service says:

      Chomskyan linguistics also point out that “ninja” deep structures are manifest in spoken language. As an illustration, you can try saying the phrase “Do you want to go?”, and allow yourself to slide the “want to” into “wanna” — it’s more or less natural to say, “Do you wanna go?”

      But then try the phrase, “Is he who you want to go?”, and you may notice it is comparatively less fluid to say, “Is he who you wanna go?”

      The reason is that the underlying structure of those two questions are the statements, respectively, “You want to go” and “You want he to go”, and our brains are implicitly aware that there is a “he” implicitly present between the “you want” and the “to go” in that second sentence and therefore balk at sliding the “want” and the “to” together there.

      Hee — I go now.

      • ZombieApocalypse - wearing a heavily soiled and blood soaked ~I ♥ Bloggy~ t-shirt, sporting a skull that is smashed and split wide open, a sign around his neck reading "GONE FISSION" and riding a pale zombie horse named Pooka says:

        Damn, I didn’t wanna see him go.

  19. Darawnal says:

    And remember, never shake hands with complete strangers/idiots

  20. Cloral says:

    What was she doing in the men’s ‘room’ in the first place?

  21. Mr. Win says:

    The way she lols at him… xD

  22. octopus revolicione says:

    the best fail of year…

  23. bushfails says:

    He’s areal whiz at washing his hands.

  24. Anon says:

    LOLTODO

  25. quirky says:

    does epicfail and fail blog share the same stuff or what

  26. megarouge says:

    This is why we Americans don’t leave our country very often….

  27. Calgar C says:

    he must have pissed away his future in high-school…

  28. anon says:

    haha, why should she, i would have watched too, i mean, u don’t see idiots like him fail like that every day xD

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

    He must be piss drunk.

    Well SOMEONE had to say it.
  30. Allan says:

    I wouldn’t like to be one of next people to open that door…

  31. Ariana says:

    I’m sorry, I don’t mean to offend, but it totally sounds like she’s speaking Simlish.

  32. Elle says:

    So, why the heck was she standing at a men’s urinal staring down?

  33. Alan says:

    Jibble, that’s not German, it’s Dutch. Chalk up a fail for you.

  34. DRX says:

    He turned to go into the porta-john, right after the camera stopped, Chuck Norris obliterated him for it.

  35. csm says:

    Instant aids.

  36. Ken says:

    This would have been an epic/classic fail if the man had splashed the urine on his face before realizing that it IS urine.

  37. hello says:

    that is what a tipical dutch person looks like

  38. Ted says:

    Water quality in america must be low if the people can’t distinguish pee from water.
    And the guy wasn’t even going to wash his hands, but then he saw the camera.

    • Girlysprite says:

      well, it certainly takes…some guts to decide to wash your hands in urine just because a camera is pointed at you. To clarify myself; I wouldn’t even do it if I got paid for it. It’s just GROSSGROSSGROSS EEuughh….

  39. csm says:

    No, its not a urinal, they are just testing a new light yellow style hand-wash water that spells like asparagus, that is in a trough the shape of a urinal.

  40. tmm says:

    longer version

  41. Sam says:

    Well, being dutch myself, a quick translation:

    “So this is the Man’s part. Quite some foam in there”

  42. Pisbak says:

    Too bad he didn’t want to fill his drinking cup. ;-)

  43. Beavis says:

    -Knock knock
    -Who’s there?
    -You’re a…
    -You’re a who?
    -URINE!

    HAHAHAHA!

  44. as says:

    That’s a strange urinal.

  45. crackerfats says:

    I’ll be sick all over the place if I watch this vid again. FAIL, Fail, fail…

  46. getikkkt says:

    lol ik had dit al gezien bij de wereld draait door.. epic fail! pwned

  47. Solte says:

    Actually…if you go to Sarnia Bayfest (I have), they do this exact thing. Well, they did when I was there. It happens again this July, find someone you want to go see and make the trip, then make a point of not washing your hands…it’ll be the rare time it’s more hygenic to consume your own germs on food compared with everyone elses…

    I might have it wrong, maybe the bathroom didn’t do that but maybe it was the puke chamber. I’m not 100% sure.

  48. qwerzor says:

    This just makes me say OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!

  49. soso says:

    yes! It is :) )

  50. Sebastian says:

    She is saying:

    I am going to check how clean they are here
    This must me the man section…
    (It doesn’t really matter but just for people who are wondering)

    And then you see the guy, really funny!

  51. jupjup says:

    Hahaha, lol!

  52. steve says:

    the bigger issue isn’t the dude washing his hands, its the she-male running around in front of the camera, ewwggh!

  53. Ivar says:

    Yay, although nobody will ever read this, I live there in Haarlem.

    And yes, of course. Those are random sounds she is producing. No language. Just random sounds. Even I have no idea what she’s saying, but it’s definately NOT Dutch.

    God…

  54. Someone says:

    This is stereotyping to the max. Americans think that the Dutch are so stingy, that we actually wash our hands in our piss XD

  55. Eric says:

    now i feel like throwing up. .__.

  56. Icap says:

    lowland belgians suck hardcore..

  57. jordan says:

    the real fail is that she was speaking english

  58. Phlegmboy says:

    Piss poor commentary on national hygiene education if you ask me.

  59. Nautilus says:

    “Woah.”

  60. angelo says:

    hehehehe
    americans
    they just dont know to wash their hands

  61. CompanionCube says:

    i thought that the reporter was male when i first saw this O.o

  62. JT says:

    Why the hell is she FILMING in a urinal area in the first place?

  63. Proud American says:

    and wtf is a urinal doing outside anyways?

    • Dutch says:

      That’s normal at a festival

    • Julya says:

      Actually these festival locations do not always have toilet buildings, or when they do they do not always facilitate for the number of people coming there. The solution is portable toilets and urinals. ç’est ca

  64. ORLY says:

    I don’t care what country you’re from…if you can’t tell what PEE is you’re an idiot. That guy deserved to have his hands washed in the piss of others. I mean…it’s YELLOW and SMELLS LIKE URINE. God, he needs to fall in it.

  65. pablexis95 says:

    Looks Fake and kinda gay

  66. Dutch says:

    The Netherlands is one of the country’s with the best water in the world. We don’t use our own pee to wash our hands

  67. JuuEi says:

    Damn, at last I find the place where they speak gibberish!

  68. Chris says:

    There’s something odd about this clip. It makes too little sense to be real, but it also makes too little sense to have been sensibly staged.

    Why does that blonde sound like a girl in the beginning and sound like a British boy when she speaks English in the end?

    What language was she speaking in the beginning, or was it nonsense? When she says, “I think it is, man,” she could pass as a native (but not American) English speaker.

    Even if she were Dutch, WTF is an American redneck doing over there? (She’s obviously not in Arkansas, because we don’t have urinals outside; we just buy more port-a-pottys.)

    These things that don’t quite add up make this clip resemble one of those key scenes that lets the detective know who the culprit is in a murder mystery.

    • dutchgirl says:

      OMG, what is an american man doing here? Think!! Maybe he is on holiday or drinking all of our beer, or he wants to see the greatest country in the world ^^ Maybe he went to the red light district… A stupid question if you ask me… And the urinals are outside because it was a festival!! Have you ever been to a festival? I guess not…

    • Julya says:

      This clip was a real report on TV about a Dutch rock festival, the girl speaks Dutch and says no word of english, the boy answering the American dude is the cameraman.
      Some Americans DO leave the US, and well, the Netherlands are still a popular tourist attraction because of the mistaken notion that we allow drugs over here.

      What makes this clip unreal is the fact that some large sections were cut from it, and therefore the clip seems to lack consistency. There’s a more complete version somewhere in this blog.

    • sven says:

      She sounds like a British boy because all British boys sound like Dutch Girls!!!!

  69. Detlev says:

    What I want to know is why the urinals are all outside where film crews are videotaping.

  70. T8te says:

    That was crappy

  71. stas says:

    Hooray for the dutch!! =D

  72. 7Mario77 says:

    This just proves how stupid people these days are! XD

  73. Dirk says:

    My question wasn’t answered yet. I still NEED to know who that girl is! :)

  74. Jimmylou says:

    I guess he did that to come into TV.
    Poor media addicts^^

  75. Dennis says:

    Hilarious.

    But those comments at the end are starting to get on my nerves. They seem to detract from the humor more than add to it.

  76. Sinistrad says:

    I’m sorry sir, we’re going to have to amputate. Both of them…

  77. Neras says:

    @ end of video : I guess he just wanted to wash his hands privately…in the WC cabin…also his face…

  78. Anonymous Coward says:

    More odd is that some US sports stadiums have large circular (or half circle) hand-washing sinks in the men’s room, but sometimes “rednecks” will pee in these, thinking it is a urinal. (maybe not noticing the urinals on the walls.) Some older schools, usually out in the rural areas have pee-troughs like this, so I suppose I could understand the confusion… lol

  79. Emily says:

    I feel sorry for this guy. :-\

  80. wilex says:

    The chosen Fail

  81. SavageHazels says:

    This video could also be called “German Language Accent Fail”.

  82. sipodge says:

    I feel so bad for him, washing his hands in the urinal!
    Lol, how could he do that without realising????

  83. Andrew says:

    Um, last time I checked, water wasn’t yellow…

  84. henry says:

    Redneck jackass American! wat else can one expect?!!

  85. yatmo says:

    feel so bad for him, washing his hands in the urinal!
    Lol, how could he do that without realising????

  86. Ilych says:

    Urine is sterile but I don’t think his hands are clean somehow…

  87. Bumson says:

    shes wanted to pee in.

  88. Me says:

    Sweet – a double fail!

    Washing your hands with piss and a urinal cake – fail.

    Finally getting that chance to show your worth as a field reporter, and winding up in the mens toilet – fail.

  89. SpookyStreetlight says:

    EPIC FAIL WTF XD

  90. bekbob says:

    He’s pissed off now.

  91. Elbow Murderpants says:

    This is who they mean when they talk about “the great unwashed”

  92. Manlady :D says:

    OUCH!!!!! glad she could take one for the team!

  93. Yo So Dumb, Yo Realy Dumb... says:

    Wut wus she speaking in the begging? Oh yeah, and i lol at when he picked up the urnile cake like it was soap.

    • Explicit says:

      Read other comments, it’s Dutch, she says: I’m allowed to get in, now I’ll check out how clean the toilets are here.
      I think this is the men’s toilet.

      Why she goes to the men’s restroom I don’t know, but nice fail though.

  94. Itswhatido4 says:

    Yikes!

  95. Mike says:

    That reporter’s quite a cutie

  96. charlotte says:

    Why were they filming the urinal in the first place???

  97. Eddy Ferrox says:

    Why did he have to be American?! Good job furthering the stereotype dumb ass. None the less, hilarious!

  98. rockx watches says:

    I appeared to be very pleased to find this particular web-site.I want to to thanks for your precious time for this wonderful read!! I positively taking advantage of any little it and I had you bookmarked to see fresh thing you blog post.
