11 Panoramic Photo Fails That Will Freak You Out

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:57:44 +0000

Taking good pictures is a really tricky skill to perfect, yet when photos are shot correctly, they can be awesome. (See: photobombs and perfectly-timed versions). But there is a bright side to photography failure -- sometimes it can create a weird and strangely entertaining creation. Cue: panoramic fails.

Never Do 'The Harlem Shake' By a Bonfire, People

Eddie Wright — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:49:09 +0000

They said the ‘Harlem Shake‘ was hot, but this is ridiculous. In case you were living in a cave for the past few months, the ‘Harlem Shake’ is a silly viral video trend that involves one guy or gal dancing alone to the dubstep-y Baauer tune. Then as the music reaches its crescendo, a big [...]

Zooey Deschanel Mistakenly Named a Boston Bombing Suspect

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:46:20 +0000

It's hard to imagine 'New Girl' star Zooey Deschanel as anything besides a wide-eyed, manic-pixie dream girl who just wants to spread good vibes and quirkiness.

Which is why folks in Dallas must've been a bit confused on Friday when the local Fox affiliate fingered Deschanel as a suspect in last week's tragic Boston Marathon bombing. "He is 19 year old Zoey Deschanel," read the caption, which was meant to refer to the now captured Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.

11 Email Fails You Don't Want to Experience

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 14:18:08 +0000

The internet can be a pretty tricky world to navigate, and e-mail is no exception. Cyber messaging makes most of our lives way easier, but just like any other modern day convenience, a whole load of fails are born from e-mailing. Luckily for us, many of the hilarious ones turn up online. By “fails” we [...]

19 Fails That Probably Cost Someone Their Job

Emerald Catron — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 18:51:44 +0000

Listen, we get it. Of all people, we get it. Sometimes you let an errant comma slip. Maybe you don't notice that something is a sentence fragment because you're riding the waves of hangover nausea. We understand that sometimes being an editor is rough, but how the how do you wind up with a headline that looks like it says "Rapefruit Good for every meal"?

10 Sign Fails That Totally Confuse Us

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:40:13 +0000

The epic, the permanent and the embarrassing. Fails are a hilarious reality that luckily give us (the non-failers) endless entertainment. This time, we’re rounding up unfortunate sign fails.

29 People Who Had ONE Job, And Completely Failed at It

Emerald Catron — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:09:03 +0000

Sometimes somebody has one job to do…JUST ONE…and they can’t even get it right. These are those times. Here are our favorite examples of the latest internet meme that involves somebody screwing up one simple task. ONE. You had one job, bananas. You had one job, strawberries. You had one job, record store guy. You [...]

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:59:53 +0000

Ladies and gents, it’s time for another round of entertaining fails. Recently we’ve scoped out the really unfortunate and the semi-painful type of fail. But this time around, we’re going for the straight up adorable, AKA puppy fails.

Boat Tow Goes Horribly, Horribly Wrong

Emerald Catron — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:44:20 +0000

When we saw the way the camera was oriented in this video we got a bad feeling. When the first words we heard were a man screaming “YIPSKIDDLY DOO,” it got worse. When the guy providing the tow started shouting for a beer, the wincing began. And then it happened. And we felt terrible. Source: [...]

Watch This Ultimate 'Stairway Fail' Compilation

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:05:39 +0000

If watching others fall down is hilarious in and of itself, that means watching people fall down stairs is double the fun. The above video, which has compiled over three minutes of people taking horrid yet hysterical tumbles down stairways, was given to us by YouTube’s own WWideInterweb – the same user who has provided other FAIL compilations [...]

Man Takes Dart To Forehead When He Plays William Tell With Friends

Joe Student — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:43:31 +0000

(Note to all aspiring party gamers: Your friend is NOT William Tell, so NEVER try to do this at home, in a basement, anywhere.) The nice folks in the video above were having your normal basement party: cheap beer, a pool table, a dartboard and, of course, some Lynyrd Skynyrd. One guy decided that he [...]

Girl Gives Herself 'Atomic Wedgie' Climbing Fence

Emerald Catron — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:09:45 +0000

A wedgie has to be one of the most humiliating, yet mostly harmless, experiences those people we gave all those wedgies too ever had. Don’t believe us? Watch this NSFW video. But now they can look on the bright side — at least they didn’t do it to themselves. In front of thousands of people. [...]

The Best Stupid Game Show Answers in One Handy Video

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 17:59:18 +0000

Why spend time clicking related videos on YouTube, when you can have all the stupid game show answers compiled into one convenient video? It’s no secret that we love game show fails, so obviously we’re big fans of this compilation. Plus it also takes us back to a different age of television, so we can [...]

Man Fails On Balance Beam Backflip, Crushes Nuts

Joe Student — Sun, 03 Mar 2013 19:00:57 +0000

That's not much of a backflip, dude. Missing the balance beam, landing and crushing your nuts in the process isn't a really good attempt. If people are able to make a car do a backflip, you can do a lot better than that.

This had to be staged. Hear that laughter (before the dude's moaning wails)?

YouTube Hair Tutorial Goes Terribly Wrong

Emerald Catron — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:50:21 +0000

Hopefully anybody who’s tempted to watch this for actual advice watches all the way through first, rather than just follow along. This girl straight up burns off a massive chunk of her hair using a curling wand. The best part is her confused reaction. Or maybe it’s when the hair just sort of magically (thanks, [...]

10 Hilariously Painful Treadmill Fails

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 18:55:20 +0000

If there’s one thing humans rule at most, it’s creating the funniest fails to ever hit the Web. This is particularly true when the circumstances involve a little risk, a lot of courage and a whole lot of oblivion. Ladies and gents, say hello to treadmill fails. Think about it– when you combine a speeding [...]

This Is What Happens When You Drink 20 Year Old Crystal Pepsi

Emerald Catron — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:51:43 +0000

You know what? Good. We want this guy to puke. He calls himself LA Beast and thinks a shirt that says "SWAG SWAG SWAG" is cool. The only reason we wouldn't want him to puke is that he has a whole YouTube channel that is just footage of him subjecting himself to "Xtreme" food challenges that ultimately result in barf, so we suspect he might actually enjoy throwing up

10 Awkwardly Hilarious Proposal Fails

Cameron Simcik — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:17:13 +0000

February 14th is upon us, so it's time to whip out all the lovey dovey cliches, y'all. We're talking about the stuff we expect on V-Day-- the chocolates, roses and, of course, the proposal stories. It's a pretty cute idea to propose to your significant other on the most romantic day of the year, but with that comes a big, big risk-- that other person might say no. Yikes.

10 Painfully Hilarious Mascot Fails

Cameron Simcik — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 17:49:13 +0000

It's surprisingly rough being a mascot these days. Sure, they're the awesome side entertainment at sporting events, but that puts a heck of a lot of pressure on them. Think about it-- mascots are constantly forced to cartwheel on ledges, do backflips in front of thousands of people and just be downright stupid. It can be awful, especially when things go wrong. Cue: mascot fails.

Video Proof of Why Dads Shouldn't Skateboard — Daily Distraction

Daily Distraction — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 09:00:20 +0000

[onescreen item="5005278"] Dads are great at so much: teaching us how to play catch, embarrassing us in front of our friends when we’re in high school, fixing that step on the porch, etc. But skateboarding is not one of those things. Though the lovable dad in this clip isn’t trying to ride the skateboard, he still manages [...]
