The Top Five Epic Fail Videos and Photos of all Time

Raunchy T-Shirts from No Pants Tees

People do stupid things all the time. I mean, really dumb things. And seeing these dumb things is funny and relaxing. Like leering at a car crash, you just can't look away.

We've got 5 baby fails, sign fails, classless fails, innuendo fails and parent fails. And don't forget pictures, books, and gift ideas. And of course the top 5 video fails of all time.

Failing is funny, failing is fun, failing is learning.

The art of the FAIL

What makes an epic fail?

A great epic fail had a few key components:
1. Funny. It needs to make me laugh.
2. Irony. Irony is a key ingredient for a great fail. Maybe it's a highway billboard with braille, or virginity soap that says "Touch me".
3. Images are good, video is best. Everyone likes to read, but looking at an image or watching a video is even better.
4. Crotch pain. A great fail video has a dude getting knocked in his boom boom stick, or otherwise getting hurt so it's funny (but not hurt so it's permanent or deadly).
5. Sexual innuendo. An easy way to have a fail is something that looks like human anatomy.

Best FAIL quotes

Right: Steve Martin, Rolling Stone no. 434, November 1984
Steve Martin Photo

"Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience."
-Michael Eisner, Disney

"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently."
-Henry Ford, Ford Motor Company

"When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal."
-Napoleon Hill

"I'm 48. For a while after 'The Jerk' (movie) I had a feeling of failure. I was a little scared. First people discover you and they love you. You get big and then you fail. And people are glad that you fail. But I've always come back and I've started to trust myself."
Steve Martin, Funny man

"Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe."
-Sumner Redstone, Viacom billionaire
