Round and round and round we go. Where we stop, nobody knows!
meatspin?
He took the road less traveled.
The fork in the road looked more like a spoon. He got confused.
I like going straight ahead .. weeehaaaa. clickie
LOL!!!
There is no spoon.
Two roads diverged in a roundabout,
And sorry I did not travel either.
We are a
hedgeroundabout centerpiece. Really, we are ahedgeroundabout centerpiece. Please move along. Nothing to see here.When I said “Go straight over at the roundabout”, it wasn’t meant to be literal.
uh huh. And when I said “That hurts like buggery”, it wasn’t meant to be literal.
Sorry! You did say these roundabouts were a pain in the arse.
You can work through ‘em, but beadlieve me, it’s a stretch
It’s a stretch butt plug in your belt, hit the gas and ride the wind!
I need to get off! I’m going to be si…
*blaaarrrgghh!*
Playing the ponies again?
Poor horse!
Who puts cameras this high up and what are those gleaming shafts of light going up through the picture? It doesn’t matter because in high definition the gleaming shafts don’t even exist and the height can be explained away with tired television cliches. If we wanted to.
So we’re watching this roundabout with 4 exits [1], pointing to the lower and upper right and lower and upper left of the screen. Like most roundabouts, this one has those triangle curbs in the middle of each exit to help guide traffic around the roundabout. Unlike many roundabouts, this one has a decorative pattern in the middle with alternating concrete and grass in a pinwheel pattern. Very nice. Surrounded with what we’re about to learn is a wall that’s way too short, only a couple of feet at best.
One vehicle is on the street to the upper left leaving the scene-that-hasn’t-yet-occurred and another vehicle passes it, headed toward the roundabout. We expect this approaching vehicle to head around the roundabout like anyone else would.
But we’re about to be very disappointed.
Snoozy plows right over the triangle curb first and takes a straight line to the center of the pinwheel. The curb surrounding the center of the roundabout helps his car leap up and over the short wall and right into a lawn part of the pinwheel. Once it lands, it collides with the concrete part of the pinwheel (elevated over the lawn part, apparently) and it stops cold.
The person who decided to submit the video is likely the driver that approaches from the upper right as we fade to black. Snoozy shows no signs of struggle or consciousness in that brief time.
“That actually makes more sense than driving through a roundabout.” Very demotivational once again shows us Avis falling down laughing and some quilt named Roland powers with “Some go this way… some go that way… but as for me, myself, personally… I prefer the short-cut”. The bike dude attempts to mimic the fail but is awoken by lighting … DOT ORG!
Just when you think it’s all over, you realize those shafts of light we haven’t been seeing was the overpass. Being incorporeal, it’s now standing upright instead of laying down on the job like most lazy overpasses. It also doesn’t desire to hit or hurt anyone, it’s found inner peace.
[1] – I forgot to include my footnote. Bad me. Some people may thing it should be obvious that a roundabout has 4 exits, but I know of one local roundabout that has 5. Some could have more, some could have less. The point is, the one in this fail has 4.
Very touchingly told, ZA! Well done!!!
Why do you continue watching naughty Dragon?

(In the post you just read, the part of ZombieApocalypse was read by William Shatner.)
Wait…WHO’S watching the naughty dragon???
Well thanks to this wonderful invention of internet and a camera……
Woops.

Thanks, ZA!

I’m hungry!
I feel like a big pasta bowl with tomato basil sauce and a heap of shredded parmiggiano reggiano on top.
*salivates*
*licks Leila*
Odd. You don’t taste like a big pasta bowl with tomato basil sauce and a heap of shredded parmiggiano reggiano on top.
That description sounds an awful lot like a scalloped tomato dish I made last night, though (only without the pasta). Tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. I may need to heat some tonight & spread it on garlic bread.
Heeeeeeeeee!!! *squeeze*
Why did you say garlic bread? Why?????
*sobs*
*humbly offers Leila a ShamWow*
*takes humbly offered ShamWow*
Seriously though, I am hungry now and I want to blame Arthur but I am not sure why.
*pokes Leila*
Funny…you don’t feel like a pasta bowl to me!
*flees*
…but not quickly enough. NS caught me. :p
*collars DW*
*squeeze*
*uses spatula to scrape sauce and cheese from her finger*
Sorry but there are days when I just cannot share.
*offers DW a cookie jar instead*
*releases*
There’s terrible pin action in pasta bowling.
Can you spare a roll?
Awww…but I can’t possibly strike Leila.
*squeezies-back*
*takes a cookie*
There’s no cookies left…split that with me?
*never hits cancel quickly enough*
Arrrrrr!
Don’t be such a turkey. I’ll share with you.
*gives Admiral a handful of cookies, and a squeeze*
Perfect!
*lines up for another squeeze*
*pulls mind out of the gutter*
*gets in line behind Admiral*
*squeezes everyone*
This kind of action is right up my alley!
I hope you’re wasted your time writing this at work or school.
~Thanks for stopping by to share that lovely sentiment with us.~
Incidentally, we happen to love our undead’s video description.

Ok. He’s obviously a polish troll, as his name “politricks” describes and his elegant usage of “you’re wasted”.
It’s safe to assume that he either works or attends school, so this is an easy one folks. We’re looking for an employed/academic polish troll. There’s only a few of these still left, now look sharp out there and lets bring this one in.
scratch that, I’ve news that….
Say g’night, Gracie; wearing “I ♥ AA and AE” shirt with pride
…found and took care of the culprit. Good job, team.
This actually occurred where I used to live: Clovis, New Mexico. So those lines of light are the amazingly hot sun down there :p
The story going around was that this guys brakes failed, and he didn’t want to drive around the roundabout with no brakes. Also, the video was recorded on a security camera at a church. One of those nice church ladies stuck it on youtube. :p
That is totally me playing Mario Kart!
nearly first xD
Almost*
it only counts in horse shoes, hand grenades, and nucular warfare
May not be fake, but why did someone add sound effects in? Casts doubt on the whole video. A camera 300 yards away isn’t going to hear the tires, crunching, etc. Sorta like on “Most Deadly” chase videos, when the helicopter camera picks up the screeching tires, etc. Doesn’t happen.
Did he DIE?!
Yeah, I hate it when stuff is done that makes the video look fake.
Like yesterday. I was watching Storm Chasers, and some chasers got way too close to a tornado and were totally not happy about it. Things looked very dangerous indeed. Yet there’s a cameraman running around the car as if nothing was going on!
It’s not fake, happened in my home town. It was the juice for the rumor mill lulz for a long time.
Someone added special affects (sounds), no lag between impacts and the sound we hear. Idiot was trying to spice up his video and screwed it up.

Slowly step away from the computer. Walk to the bathroom. Relax. Urinate. Take a deep breath in. Exhale. Then re-evaluate.
Proof that short cuts make long delays.
Road rage + Roundabout = one damaged car, one red-faced driver, and one helluva vid.
This is maths I can believe in.
I hate when roundabouts jump out infront of me!
Circle, straight line, what’s the difference?

Failure to rotate tires may cause improper where.
*applause*
He was trying to avoid the dangerous curves ahead.
*checks her curves in the mirror*
I fail to see what is so dangerous
Drivers look at curves, are horribly distracted, and then drive through rather than around roundabouts, apparently.
Boys.
And show ‘em concentric circles…and they go straight for the center!
Boys.
(I like boys.)

HOVer lane only straight ahead.
They do say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Though I suspect this does not take into account whether there is a “bloomin’ huge roundabout” smack bang in the middle.
They also say “Keep off the grass” at times and this helps me understand why.
The shortest distance between two points is zero
Divided by zero.
Eeeep!
*hides under the bed*
The Swedish version:
This just reinforces my belief that those guard-rails are just placebos.
But…the GPS said to go straight…

LOL Funnny
I hate roundabouts. They’re too confusing, and they’re inefficient.
To master the roundabout, you first must be smarter than the roundabout.
to bad no water fountain
It’s New Mexico; there’s no water there :p
About a year ago they replaced a 6 way intersection in my town with one of these. And people STILL don’t get how they work, the traffic always grinds to a halt around it.
I’m sure traffic flowed nicely with a 6-way stop light telling people to wait for everyone else.
There’s a 6-way or 7-way intersection controlled by stop signs rather than stop lights in Beverly Hills (or perhaps BH-adjacent). It’s a scary, scary place.
Last!

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. Driving through a roundabout isn’t all that difficult–you just keep going right.
You and I (and most of the Failpeeps) are smarter than the roundabout. There are far too many drivers in the world who are not smarter than a roundabout.
That’s a roundabout way of saying it, but you are totally right!
he was looking for a monster stunt bonus
that’s why we don’t have so many of these things in the USA.
Aye. WAAAAAY too many stupid people here.

Whoever invented the roundabout should have their head put on a stick to serve as a warning.

There was little doubt the roundabout would make him pout.

Sadly this is almost certainly NOT fake, but is not what it what it claims to be.
In recent bushfires here in Australia we had several examples of cars caught at the centre in this condition – the heat was so strong that the steel belts inside the tyres melted.
The pool is steel, not rubber. The rubber actually remains largely around the tyre.
You should have made a left turn at Adelaide for the Burnout Fail.
This just cuts me up.
Cross-eyed drivers…eh?
Most zombies make poor drivers because they misinterpret what “keep your eyes on the road” means.
Good point.
Hey I think I found yours… *points to the eyeballs in the jar* sadly I don’t know if you want them back seems they landed on some chewing gum.
I think he wanted to get himself on failblog.
lol i live in the town that this happened 3 years ago lol
What the hell was she thinking?
I wouldn’t balme him if he was in paris but….
If it had been a monster truck, this would have been a win.
thats the same way who a father´s partner died
maybe it was a Toyota?
If he had a mushroom or a star I’m sure he would be able to do it.

…ABOUND!*
the force is strong with this one
HE JUST TOOK MY PARKING SPOT !!!
What goes straight…
That roundabout is located in my town. As an aside, the camera is located on the spire of a church on the corner. The center island was then redone with TALL landscaping to bring it to drivers’ attention. It was, and still is, Clovis New Mexico’s only traffic circle. After several years, we’ve figured out how to use it!
Roundabouts are for suckaz.
must of been a prius
We often call these things “Traffic circles” but I like “roundabout” better.
‘think he tried that stuff from the liqour comircial added to the clip
That happened in Clovis, NM, about 18 miles from where I live in Portales, NM. The camera is on top of this huge spike thing on a church and that person hit the roundabout because it wasn’t there the day before. That used to be a 4 way stop, but then was redone to improve traffic congestion. There ahve been a good 20 wrecks on that roundabout since it was put in 3 years ago.
