Top 9 FAIL Blogs
Word came to us recently, via BuzzFeed, of a new FAIL blog. This prompted us to revisit one of the most famous and widespread Internet memes, FAIL. Though it’s been demystified by Rocketboom’s Know Your Meme lab, the FAIL cycle continues to turn out new images of ironic commentary for our enjoyment. You can indulge said pleasures to your heart’s content with Listicles’ Top 9 FAIL Blogs.
Highly specific yet extremely successful already, this relatively new blog outs failed attempts at dressing up and posing as characters from Wes Anderson movies like The Royal Tenenbaums and Rushmore.
This is basically the grand-daddy of the FAIL meme, started as an off-shoot of the LOLCats pioneers I Can Has Cheezburger, and still the most vast repository of FAIL images and videos of every description.
Pretty much what it sounds like: disastrous butcherings of the English language.
A fairly straight-forward FAIL blog, with an ostensible but not consistent emphasis on transportation.
It can be a little gruesome in its imagery of ridiculously spectacular car crashes, but just as often the images of silly drivers are enjoyable and rewarding.
The canine equivalent of LOLCats, FAIL Dogs doesn’t exclusively show dogs failing, and often gives itself over to the kinds of cutesy snapshots familiar to LOLCats readers (as above).
Though it covers many similar images as other FAIL blogs, Epic FAIL tends to favor especially dramatic and grandiose failures.
Though the humor is very similar to Epic FAIL and FAIL Blog, FAIL Funnies is pretty good about finding and creating new images of failure.
When a web meme makes the transition into the real world, you know it’s struck a chord. Such is the case with these FAIL stickers, which you can purchase by the roll then distribute to failures as you see fit. The accompanying Flickr group hasn’t taken off yet, but we’re hoping it will soon.
