Awesome Fails

When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go. So we don’t fault this guy for stopping his car and hopping out to take a bathroom break in the middle of nature. But if you’re gonna do it on a hill, make sure to set your parking brake.

It took Marek Baczynski and his friend Sven an entire day, and two different drones, but they eventually managed to use a drone to unscrew a light bulb, then screw a fresh bulb into the empty socket. And they only needed nine light bulbs, a broom, and a dustpan to do it!

If you’ve ever considered diving in a shark cage, you might rethink that after watching this video, in which a great white swam right through the bars, with a diver inside. Incredibly, the guy wasn’t injured, but we can imagine his wetsuit is a few shades more brown now.

File Cemre Candar’s latest video under “dumb things to never try,” as he loaded up his bathtub with over 1200 bottles of chili sauce, then took a dip in it. This makes his chocolate and beer baths look like the work of a Rhodes Scholar.

A compilation of people (and animals) using drills, chainsaws, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, and other mechanical work machines in ways that were never intended. We were waiting to see Jim Carrey’s drill trick from Burt Wonderstone.

Cullen Melton tried the no look three-point celebration popularized by some of the NBA’s sharpshooters. But he bombed harder than Nick Young did. This is Dude Imperfect, and we call this the Soviet Russian Trick Shot.

Ernie Els is a golf hall of famer who’s won four major championships. But Murphy’s Law hit him hard on the first hole of the 2016 Masters. He ended up putting six times from 3ft, scoring a 9 on the par-4 hole. Slate’s got your Happy Gilmore mashup covered.

Even today, computers error out if you try to divide a number by zero, but check out what happens with this old Facit ESA-01 mechanical calculator when posed with that mathematical conundrum. We’re assuming the death spiral was only ended by unplugging the cord.

Footage from a Discovery program which documented the Piasecki PA97 Helistat, an experimental logging blimp, which used an ungainly configuration of four helicopters to lift it off the ground. Just looking at the thing, it seemed like a bad idea… and it was.

After nearly cutting off a limb with her chopping robot, engineer Simone Giertz built another somewhat askew robotic assistant, though this one is much more likely to make her die from embarrassment than blood loss. We think she should marry Mehdi Sadaghdar.

(PG-13: Language) Some of the clips in FailArmy’s mega compilation are just people understandably freaking out. But there are hilarious ones like the truck driver with zero Fs to give and a stupid ass rock that you might want to pee on. First video here.

In order to truly enjoy the comedic timing of the kid drummer in this brief video clip, you must make the assumption that the other kid injured nothing more than his ego. After you do that, it’s comedy gold.

When we first saw how slowly this car was going around the racetrack, we figured that it had a mechanical problem. But it turns out it’s got much bigger issues than we could have ever imagined. (Thanks Robert!)

The guys from cover band Boston Naturals were performing at a post-wedding reception, when they noticed one guy in the crowd with the worst sense of rhythm ever. Apparently, his off-tempo claps were loud enough to make it hard for the guitarist to keep rhythm.

(PG-13 Language) Jalopnik’s Jason Torchinsky manages to cram his butt into a little known vehicle called The Hoffman, a hideous beast of a car that’s horribly uncomfortable, drives terribly, looks worse than a Pontiac Aztek, and seems hellbent on killing its driver.

This driver in Kemerovo, Russia appears to lack the basic skills required to pull out of even the most basic of parking spaces in the smallest of cars. We can only imagine the carnage he left along the side of the road on his way home. (Thanks Robert!)
