Unbelievably, this story appears to be true — although the particular version of it we see here contains incorrect information (The man’s entire bowel was not consumed; none of it was — the eel did apparently rupture the intestinal wall, however, causing internal bleeding, infections, and sepsis. And he was not DOA; it took 10 days for him to die from his injuries.)
My response to the parent post in this thread would to ask a question: “Why do so many visitors to this site have such a hard time understanding that the definition of the word ‘FAIL’ has nothing to do with funny?”
Paragraph 2 – Wtf? Obviously FAILblog is supposed to be funny, that’s the only reason anyone reads it. If people cared about fails that weren’t funny they’d just hang around their local methadone clinic.
you do realize this is real right? have you seen the show A 1000 ways to die, its referenced and all, chef was partying with his students that graduated and got an eel up the ass.
This isn’t funny at all.
Next they’ll have “kid accidentally shoots another kid after finding his dad’s gun” “Whoop what a fail. Sure was a hole in one”
very poor taste failblog.
The guy’s bowel ruptured and he took an awfully long time to die. I don’t see the necessity of making up the “it ate his bowel” story, since the original story was gruesome enough.
No the man didn’t die, no the eel didn’t eat all his bowel, it bit a hole and landed in his abdomen; no we knew that the eel was dead when doctors opened that man’s abdomen. Jesus. You guys are all idiots.
Perhaps you’re not aware of it, but all the content on the Cheezeburger network is user selected. See that tab at the top of the page? the one that says “Vote”? you too can participate in choosing what goes on the site.
It’s kind of like democracy. If you don’t like it, do something about in instead of just whining.
While I whole-heartedly agree with you, and have often made similar comments myself–
with regard to democracy, whining, et al:
Hang out on Pundit Kitchen a while. I had to stop reading the comments there entirely. I was beginning to get the feeling that sitting around incessantly whining was _exactly_ how democracy worked….
hey like did anyone read the last sentences it says “It’s unclear at this time if the eel survived or if he will be facing charges. Either way though, I’m sure his breath is foul.” wow pressing charges on an eel, seriusly?? And way to stay serius about it! Ya so last sentences are a fail too.
This sounds like an urban legend. At any rate, I don’t believe it’s true, though I have friends who put a beer bottle up another passed-out guy’s butt.
Well here is a true story–I got called into surgery one night to help remove a vibrator from a man’s anus. He claimed that he got drunk at a party, passed out, and his “friends” stuck a vibrator up his backside and when he came to, he couldn’t get it out. Hence the trip to the ER, and then on to surgery. Once he was relaxed enough, we got it out easily. I bagged and labelled it (“foreign body”) and put it in the pathology refrigerator. I always wondered what they thought of that when they found it there the next morning!
No, that would be a sick & demented website that would encouage sick & demented people to ram larger and more stupid things up others rears.
Not only that, can you imagine the ‘shopped’ photos that’d crop up? Ugh!
So in your reality people are ‘trying’ to get on this website? To what, get famous?
FYI, these images have circulated for decades, long before photoshop was readily accessible and affordable, and validity was questioned. Just try a search on scholar.google.com to find out what kinds of things people do.
This has nothing to do with the US. The fact that you automatically assumed that it did, despite all clues that prove otherwise, does nothing but demonstrate that you’re one of those mindless anti-American idiots that are obsessed with us.
You have Americans on the brain every waking moment of your life.
Yeah, and as someone pointed out above (quoting translations from a linked Chinese article, he didn’t die, the eel had bit a hole in his bowl and slid through it then the eel died.
Of course that is assuming the guy translated it properly, but no one has contradicted him so meh.
I ran it through google translator. Crappy translation, but it doesn’t look like he died. Ton of medical complications–organ failures, etc, but he didn’t die from what I saw.
According to an article linked from the HuffPo below he did die. Either the article above was before that, or the translation of it I’m reading uses indirect wording (“He bid farewell to his family” was the closest).
Anyone who has read about Freud’s “Ratman” case recognizes this as just another copy of the same scary legend of a guy being killed by something being put in his anus, and eating its way through his bowels. In the case of the Ratman, he had heard the same story, but with…wait for it….rats.
I’m sure you can all imagine what Freud thought it meant….
Guys, relax, the fail here is not about what have done or the guy dead, the fail is the last line when u read “IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE EEL SURVIVED OR IF HE’LL FACE CHARGES. EITHER WAY THOUGH I’M PRETTY SURE HIS BREATH IS PRETTY FOUL”
I heard about this on KROQ southern california. It’s not fake cuz eels will actually do that and the guy didn’t shove the eel in he only wanted to have the eel partially in but the eel forced itself inside and being in the bowels like that its only source of food was obvious. At least they’re not like the bullet catfish. Those types of catfish with hollow a man out in a matter of minutes.
Eels up inside ya

Eels up inside ya

Crawling through your mouth,

People get killed by others’ stupidity all the time. The point of a Darwin Award is that the guy should have died from his own stupidity, prior to procreating.
I read the link below http://sichuan.scol.com.cn/zgxw/content/2010-04/28/content_699471.htm
the truth is, the man almost died because the eel bit a hole and caused so many complications. the eel died in the man’s abdomen.
THE TERRIBLE TRUTH IS, THE OLD GUY’S BOWEL WAS DAMAGED SO HARD THAT DOCTORS HAVE TO DRILL A HOLE ON HIS BELLY AS HIS NEW ANUS!
(i swear i;m telling the truth)
Well, an eel is a fish. A fish cannot breathe out of water. Actually, it is even more challenging for it to breathe if it is shoved up somebody’s rectum. All in all, I think it is fairly safe to say that this is fake.
“Friends shoved the eel up my rectum while I was passed out drunk.” has to be up there with “I tripped and fell on a fruitbowl, that’s how the banana got there.”
I actually thought that prank went wrong because that dude had a heart-attack after being told some eel is up his ass. Well. Think twice. China’s got the best pranks.
Ohhh, this was on 1000 Ways to Die! And for the record, he was not Chinese, he was Japanese, and owned a sushi chef training school. Actually, the story mentioned here might be more accurate, I have no clue which version of the tale’s got more credibility (Just gonna go with The Sun on this one).
I’m not even sure this is funny. He was killed and it wasn’t his fault.
No, this isn’t funny because its a stupid fake story run in a stupid tabloid. This is a failure of Failblog.
Probably fake. The guy who wrote the article is a dips**t. It just radiates unprofessionalism (has stupid logic and lame jokes).
Even if it is true, why is this a FAIL? “quite possibly had it coming”? The author seems to think so, but I am lost.
How does this sh*t even end up on the mainpage? I’d rather have only two to three good FAILS a day than this crap. Time to raise the bar imho.
It was actually on 1000 Ways to Die.
Yeah, every time you put an eel in your butt you’re one insertion closer to something going wrong.
Oh…
Let me just get it out, then.
Ugh, there goes my Saturday night!
My lower intestine is full of eels
Sorta puts a new spin on Wormfood doesn’t it
I will not buy this record, it is scratched.
I will not buy this tabaconist, it is scratched.
Do you…waaaant
do you……WAAANT
togo…..back

BOUNCY BOUNCY!
This is by far the most hilarious part of this whole page.
My nipples explode with delight!
This is a real story, it was on the radio a while back. Looks like this wasn’t the AP version of the story.
Unbelievably, this story appears to be true — although the particular version of it we see here contains incorrect information (The man’s entire bowel was not consumed; none of it was — the eel did apparently rupture the intestinal wall, however, causing internal bleeding, infections, and sepsis. And he was not DOA; it took 10 days for him to die from his injuries.)
My response to the parent post in this thread would to ask a question: “Why do so many visitors to this site have such a hard time understanding that the definition of the word ‘FAIL’ has nothing to do with funny?”
Paragraph 1 – Makes sense.
Paragraph 2 – Wtf? Obviously FAILblog is supposed to be funny, that’s the only reason anyone reads it. If people cared about fails that weren’t funny they’d just hang around their local methadone clinic.
All I can say is, good point.
The funny part is the part that says “It is unclear at this time if the eel survived or he’ll be facing charges.”
That’s actually the least funny part…
Agreed…
Or Parliament.
Well for one thing, the title bar for this site says “Epic Fail Funny Videos and Funny Pictures.”
OH DAH-YUM Cletis got his behind handed to him on an eel covered platter!
you do realize this is real right? have you seen the show A 1000 ways to die, its referenced and all, chef was partying with his students that graduated and got an eel up the ass.
This isn’t funny at all.
Next they’ll have “kid accidentally shoots another kid after finding his dad’s gun” “Whoop what a fail. Sure was a hole in one”
very poor taste failblog.
Slytherin my ass. First?
Net gain of 0 internets.
+1 internets for pun
-1 internets for fail first
I guess this is One meal ….. …. That bit back
YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
you win.
Why would that eel have eaten the entire Chinese guy’s bowel? He would have just been hungry again 30 min. later…
Wry indeed.
I think you mean “meel”.
This was highlighted on “1,000 ways to die”. Certainly seems like a painful way to go.
I saw that too. Didn’t he threaten his students with this if they screwed up? So they did it to him when they “graduated”
yup.. goes to show that the general facts of the death are correct, just names dates places etc changed.
The guy’s bowel ruptured and he took an awfully long time to die. I don’t see the necessity of making up the “it ate his bowel” story, since the original story was gruesome enough.
OMG Failblog!!! Can you stoop even lower than this?
Yes we can
No.
Blaaaaaaaaargh!
*runs to hid on FB2*
I’m with you. Never thought I’d long for the days of vicars and potatoes. I’m going to another fail.
I hope I have nothing to do with the gradual decent into the gutter
*squeeze!*
HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Another slippery customer
I think that the prank, was eel ment..
Those friends probably feel like s**t now
The real fail would be if the eel would be charged, and even more if the morons who did it would not be charged too.
Do electric eels come from eels who have been charged?
Old news. This happened in April.
Some of us keep on top of the world arse eel situation.
some of us keep slipping off it
No one can read Chinese at your company or what???
http://sichuan.scol.com.cn/zgxw/content/2010-04/28/content_699471.htm
No the man didn’t die, no the eel didn’t eat all his bowel, it bit a hole and landed in his abdomen; no we knew that the eel was dead when doctors opened that man’s abdomen. Jesus. You guys are all idiots.
wow! either way it’s all f*ed up.

It’s an American company; reading Chinese isn’t a standard skill here. Way to act like a pompous ass.
Posting an article written in Chinese in an English speaking blog, and you think this somehow supports your claims? Jesus you are an idiot.
it also fake its shopped and its Its also SUN its gay and made in chyna cl*t
hey like did anyone read the last sentences it says “It’s unclear at this time if the eel survived or if he will be facing charges. Either way though, I’m sure his breath is foul.” wow pressing charges on an eel, seriusly?? And way to stay serius about it! Ya so last sentences are a fail too.
This sounds like an urban legend. At any rate, I don’t believe it’s true, though I have friends who put a beer bottle up another passed-out guy’s butt.
Beer bottles generally don’t have teeth. Nor do they bite.
No but the pressure can shatter them. I will say no more.
I have a feeling next time I eat unagi I’ll be remembering this. Ugh. Failblog diet strikes again.
Well here is a true story–I got called into surgery one night to help remove a vibrator from a man’s anus.

Poor guy–many people had a laugh at his expense.
Isn’t there an entire website devoted to things pulled out of peoples’ rectums, uploaded to which site are many x-rays/etc from ER personnel?
That would be a hilarious website.
No, that would be a sick & demented website that would encouage sick & demented people to ram larger and more stupid things up others rears.
Not only that, can you imagine the ‘shopped’ photos that’d crop up? Ugh!

raping a buddy is pretty funny.
thats why i dont drink anymore
eat my bum out!
Maar…daar sit ‘n paal ing!
hahahaha! ek het gedink dit was a hagfish

old news is old. it was on sankaku long time ago.
This is the site you come to looking for the latest news?
ugh
well…not exactly funny, and a horrible way to die, but still a fail on his friends’ side
Hurgh-
never EVER go out drinking with a chinese mob.
eel facing charges? ahhh american mind!!
Except it came from a British Tabloid.
Go shove an eel up your a**.
This has nothing to do with the US. The fact that you automatically assumed that it did, despite all clues that prove otherwise, does nothing but demonstrate that you’re one of those mindless anti-American idiots that are obsessed with us.
You have Americans on the brain every waking moment of your life.
Oh gods just shut up already. You and your stupid superiority complex.
I’m gone for a week and this is what I come back to??
Bleh.
*hides on FB2*
With friends like this, who needs enamas?
you win 1 internet
if you’d read it, you’d see that the eel might be facing charges.
o.O
This is. A true story it was on 1000 ways to die
because that show is totally reliable …
Yeah, and as someone pointed out above (quoting translations from a linked Chinese article, he didn’t die, the eel had bit a hole in his bowl and slid through it then the eel died.
Of course that is assuming the guy translated it properly, but no one has contradicted him so meh.

did he die?
hey this is a real story it was on a 1000 ways to die on tnt
Eels up inside yer, findin’ an entrance where they can…
win!
Double fail: truth fail AND originality fail.
Anyone who has read about Freud’s “Ratman” case recognizes this as just another copy of the same scary legend of a guy being killed by something being put in his anus, and eating its way through his bowels. In the case of the Ratman, he had heard the same story, but with…wait for it….rats.
I’m sure you can all imagine what Freud thought it meant….
Except that this actually happened, though he didn’t die.
*Reads last 2 sentences* Obviously fake.
So fake it hurts…
It may be fake, but I gotta say this.
“Rectum? Damned nearly killed em’!”
Last Sentence: “It’s unclear at this time if the eel survived or if he’ll be facing charges.” ..Why would the eel be the one to face charges :/
Guys, relax, the fail here is not about what have done or the guy dead, the fail is the last line when u read “IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE EEL SURVIVED OR IF HE’LL FACE CHARGES. EITHER WAY THOUGH I’M PRETTY SURE HIS BREATH IS PRETTY FOUL”
i seen this on 1000 ways to die but the story took place in japan not china.
I heard about this on KROQ southern california. It’s not fake cuz eels will actually do that and the guy didn’t shove the eel in he only wanted to have the eel partially in but the eel forced itself inside and being in the bowels like that its only source of food was obvious. At least they’re not like the bullet catfish. Those types of catfish with hollow a man out in a matter of minutes.
Would you not wake up feeling something chomp on your bowels?
Perhaps not, if he was drunk enough…
Theres no nerves (or very little) in there until it hits prostate
there is a tv show called 1000 ways to die and that eel thing is in it
UMMM AM i THE ONLy ONE WHO REMEMBERS THEy DiD THiS EXACT SAME STORY ON 1000 wAYS TO DiE ON SPiKE?????
obviously not. you should read other posts.
this is from the onion…
It’s from the Sun. They’re byline is right there in the image.
Remember the good old days when friends just drew/wrote things on their passed out friends face with permanent marker? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I can see fetishes pouring out of this
Never believe anything you see on failblog. Seriously.
This isn’t funny…..sorta
Actually, this was on 1000 ways to die. Poor, poor dumb guy.
No way this was on 1000 ways to die!
NO WAY! A whole bunch of other people didn’t already point that out or anything!
‘I say what what… in the butt!’
Its kind of fake.
This story is about 6 months old and its true.
Not funny, as the guy died.
Did he d-
I mean, uh, did the Eel die? O:
Last sentence win.
And it was featured on 1000 ways to die.
Ok, I know I’m not going crazy, but why is this story suddenly the first one on the page?
Failbook does this, too. It’s confusing!
im not gay or anything but next time just throw him in the squid tank!
yes this is funny now get rid of the f***ing ads with sounds you Mother f***er
who me or wait it says ads not aids k
ive seen this in a newspaper a few years back and yes it is true, but this isnt fail but a sad story of ignorance.
Someone is sure to rewrite this a bit, and put it on It Made My Day.
(But it’s still a guy dying because his friends did something mercilessly cruel to him.)
If it was an electric eel, it WANTED to face charges.
lol i got that right off the bat!!!
WHY… do these things move around from like #5 on the page to #1?
W…..T….F…..O_o
This ain’t funny.
With friends like those, who needs enemas…
HA! it was on “a 1000 Ways To Die”!!! lol
How come is that a prank? Stuffing an eel in someone`s arse?
what with all the *ss to (his) Mouth?
Eels up inside ya
Finding an entrance where they can
Eels up inside ya

Crawling through your mouth,

EELS!!!
Darwin’s award for his death.
People get killed by others’ stupidity all the time. The point of a Darwin Award is that the guy should have died from his own stupidity, prior to procreating.
So in case you missed the 30 or so other comments, this was on 1000 Ways to Die.
The article with links to other articles .. an ya the eel died too http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/03/man-dies-after-eel-is-ins_n_560842.html
Well, its true that this isn’t really funny. But this was more entertaining than 90% of the garbage that is put on this site.
even an eel can’t go without oxygen. i can’t believe that an eel could live long enough to eat the whole lower intestines without suffocating.
sounds like something the onion would do. the idea is still kind of funny though
Come on, have none of you heard of the Sun ? Idiots.
they’re pressing charges against the eel? *facepalm*
Urg! I really hope this is an internet rumor. I really, really do. That is just so… urg.
I’m glad I don’t have any friends.
errm, yeah
I also remember seeing this on 1000 ways to die on spike. True story.
“It is unclear whether the eel survived or if he’ll be facing charges” Wtf?
Whoever wrote this article is kind of a prick.
this is a fakeeee.
I love the ending “It is unclear at this time if the eel survived, or if he’ll be facing charges”
I feel bad for the dude….
An Asian eel? In Chiana? Who would have thought…
All I have to say is that’s a pretty sh*tty prank. They could have just teabagged him instead.
IT PROBABLY REAL BECAUSE IT WAS ON 1000 WAYS TO DIE
I read the link below
http://sichuan.scol.com.cn/zgxw/content/2010-04/28/content_699471.htm
the truth is, the man almost died because the eel bit a hole and caused so many complications. the eel died in the man’s abdomen.

poop

I actually thought that prank went wrong because that dude had a heart-attack after being told some eel is up his ass. Well. Think twice. China’s got the best pranks.
I saw this on 1000 ways to die, it was pretty gross!
I don’t know about this, sounds a little invented, don’t you think?
Now how the hell did it happened? o_O
¡Mi hovercraft está lleno de anguilas!
Oy… Mi >aerodeslizador< está lleno de anguilas
Ohhh, this was on 1000 Ways to Die! And for the record, he was not Chinese, he was Japanese, and owned a sushi chef training school. Actually, the story mentioned here might be more accurate, I have no clue which version of the tale’s got more credibility (Just gonna go with The Sun on this one).
I think the real fail here is that it was only shared 12 times. lolz.
well, 13. whatever.
In Communist China, sushi eat you!
Damn…with s**t-’eels like that for friends, who needs perforating appendicitis?
You can survive without your bowels so I’m not entirely sure this is true. Sounds shady
Talk about having your salad tossed.
