Presented without any sort of fanfare… [The FailBlog.](http://failblog.org/) I just watched my SO go through forty plus pages on this site and he was laughing so hard I thought I was gonna have to do CPR on him–and this is NOT a guy who’s known for falling out like that. I sure wish I had a video of him, because I’d caption it: “Poker Face–FAIL!” Enjoy–and do feel free to link your favorites. I really like [this one.](http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h16/smartaleq/facebite.jpg) [This one also has a certain je ne sais quoi…](http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h16/smartaleq/AxeFAIL.jpg) ---

To each his own, I guess, but it did nothing for me. ---

The “fail” pic featuring the pregnant woman smoking while complaining about construction noise harming her baby is a classic. ---

Yikes. Some funny pictures, but in many of those cases, “Fail” is the lazy man’s caption. ---

So, you’re saying that we could improve the captions? Interesting. ---

I recognized many of those pictures as having come from the Navy Safety Center’s Photo of the Week site. Which is where I found [this one](http://safetycenter.navy.mil/photo/images/images-251-300/photo284.jpg). ---

I haven’t seen The FailBlog site but these photos are often posted on FARK. For some dumb reason, [this one](http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/failbeaver.jpg) cracks me up. ---

Wow. The first entry I saw contained a pretty obviously fake e-mail along with the text “the winning reason (or failing reason) for posting is that the picture seems to show a skunk in someone’s home.” [Yeah, that’s a shocker.](http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=pet+skunks) I’ve lost interest. ---

Not all of them were hilarious, and some are setups. Still, I got some good larfs out of it. ---

There has been a Fail explosion for the last few months. Everywhere I look, Fail. Some of them are funny but the abundance of crappy ones has really watered down the meme. It’s beginning to - if you will - FAIL. ---

There were some that were cute but a lot of obvious set ups and the ones where someone is getting injured through no fault of their own just made me feel bad. Maybe a third amusing, a third that prompted “Huh?”, and a third that the entry itself was a failure.
