jaymze, it sounds like you’re just basing that off the stereotype. I lived in Japan for a few years teaching English and I can assure you that if a person there has trouble with Rs becoming Ls, they’ll have exactly the same trouble with Ls becoming Rs. It’s just the exact same sound to them and I can understand why, having learned to make the Japanese “flapped” R/L several years ago. If you look at romanised Japanese, it just all gets written as R to make things easier for people.
I had a roomate who introduced herself to me as Yuri, from Tokyo. By the time I learned it was pronounced Yuli, I couldn’t break the habit. (She never corrected me)
I wonder if she chose Yuli because it sounds like Julie. Reminds me of girls named Risa who preferred to be called Lisa by English speakers (if they couldn’t make the in between sound).
My handi cap was that I always visualized a huge muscular man from Russia with the name Yuri.
Yuli I found so much more feminine.
The Julie idea is possible…..
kannadzuki, i’ts a reference to something the all knowing TMI Service told us about the other day. that the pronunciation for L is a combination of L and R and blahblah. also a reference to pretty much every post on engrish funny.
Yes I know. I referenced the same TMI post when I said “flapped” (I would normally have said “flipped.” It didn’t say that the R/L difficulty only goes one way. You did.
Whats with the flash when the handle breaks? smells like a practicle joke to me with some worn down handle and a small timed explosive to finish it off while the pan is in use.
i just love how the guy in the background turns so that he does not miss the fail. oh and the flash is just some other guy trying to take the perfect moment of the pancake flying up in the air.
Lol i dont want to be an idiot but its FAKE N GAE.
Cause its removed already (or almost removed)
cause there is one guy taking a photo…
OR it is just his first time making pancakes?
and they want to memorise it THINK PEOPLE!
Out of the frying pan, into the floor.
In Soviet Russia….nah, that doesn’t fly…
Oh, you said ‘Fry’
(Post tramatic spelling stress from yesterday’s lesson on Japanese ‘R’ )
no no no…L’s turn into R’s. but R’s stay R’s.
R you sure?
im rearry rearry sure!
:schock: I’m leery of your rearry.
( :schock: is how they do
in Detroit )
Schock: verb the incredible, sudden feeling of immense litacy aquisition after watching School House Rock
Oh, there’s a WORD for that !!
When my brain gets all tingly….
I learned a lot of great things from watching Saturday morning cartoons.

He had a handle on the situation and it panned out all too well in the end.
*gah* I forgot this site doesn’t forget your cancelled posts unless you reload. (apologies – will repost below)

your mom did.
That’s what I call frying off the handle.
a.k.a. an alveolar flap, jack

I think the real fail is that this is old, and it does not say “Classic”.
Au contraire. Before it was a video, now they’ve made it worse by giffing it so it’s a whole brand new level of fail.
branding iron frying circus… with the greatest of grease
*shakes fist at pointless failblog filters*
He had a handle on the situation and it panned out all too well in the end.
It’s a double or even triple fail with failblog doing most of the failing.
i rarely say this, but this fail is staged.
Absolutely staged.
Otherwise its awfully handy that someone just happened to be taking a picture at the moment it falls apart.
I want to see that photo.
The crepe flipped out ’cause it didn’t like the frying pan.
And then the frying pan got like all crepe’d out.
…and now he’s flat as a pancake.
yay, the fail moved to the front page, it WAS several pages back.
Nice dodge, I’d propably try to catch it with my hands..
Looks more like a Ford to me… *shrugs*
You can’t handle the truth!
Or a Ford it!
Whats with the flash when the handle breaks? smells like a practicle joke to me with some worn down handle and a small timed explosive to finish it off while the pan is in use.
lol! photo bomb
I say that’s a WIN! The pancake or whatever it was stayed in the pan!
^I agree with this individual
And the handle stayed in his hand!
Yes. Why do we assume he didn’t plan it that way.
He probably lives in the pan hand plan handle region.
that’s also a win. it landed right side up
Agreed.
I’d wish to see the photo they took while the pan was flipping in the air.
This looks so shopped.. -_-
It is. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my day.
I love how there was a camera flash.
… though it was just a flash on the pan.
now he’s gonna suicide in shame
Imagine if Paula from Earthbound tried to use this to fight. She’d be so screwed xD
The same thing happened to me. Buy a decent pan, everybody.
lol…. rust seems to attack anonimously
Flying pan is more like it.
This is a double fail: frying pan fail and masculinity fail
It was already concluded last time you posted the video that it was staged. So why are you posting it as an animated gif now?
Failblog fail (again)
How is this a “FAIL”?
Its just stupid.
i just love how the guy in the background turns so that he does not miss the fail. oh and the flash is just some other guy trying to take the perfect moment of the pancake flying up in the air.
For all you haters – this guys is a friend of mine and this was NOT staged!
Oh you gif’ed it again, to my heart! Keep the viedos on some time!
i personally would call this a win
i mean the frying pan may have been destroied but at least the food landed in the pan
Quit buying cookware from dollar general!!!
i have this frying pan. its the kind you get at the super market. very poorly made. mine did this while i was making eggs the other day
At least the eggs are still in the pan.
Why the hell was someone recording a video of a guy making pancakes?
Men stay the hell out of my kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol i dont want to be an idiot but its FAKE N GAE.
Cause its removed already (or almost removed)
cause there is one guy taking a photo…
OR it is just his first time making pancakes?
and they want to memorise it THINK PEOPLE!
