these made me chuckle a bit, and go ooooooft just as much

Much of that is pretty uncomfortable viewing for sure.

Got as far as the grenade (seen before) & as per Al found it too uncomfortable to want to continue.
I mean did the guy trying the fly(?) actually survive that fall?

Darwin in action IMO

Worth it for the very last guy, I thought.

I feel a bit grubby now 🙁

a small bit of wee came out, so funny

Me too. I can’t bring myself to be entertained by serious injury, and death – I’m pretty sure both are in there to some degree.

Yeah, I’m kinda torn.

I’m not big into schadenfreude particularly. Some of the clips are genuinely hilarious, but some wander a bit close to snuff video for my liking. Someone loses their eyebrows to a petrol-on-barbecue explosion, that’s funny; someone loses their life to one, not so much.

6.57 never fails to make me laugh.

Oh, I can! Hilarious! The one with the small kid that looks like he got persuaded to light gun powder is the only dodgy one, the rest pretty much self inflicted by idiocity.

Agree. Compilation 1 was abit humm though- Compilation 2 was mainly hilarious. If someone is going to jump off a roof or onto a moving car then more fool them.

6.12 on compilation 2. W>T>F? Why would you do that to someone?

6:30 is the winner closely followed by any of the various ´mericans with guns.

the roundabout powered by the chavs scooter never fails to raise a smile

The one with the BBQ/explosives- what did he do there? It looked like it ended badly. Very badly.

Love a bit of fail me.

http://www.youtube.com/user/YourDailyLaughz does a new fail compilation every week or so, plus a monthly best of. Worth subscribing to. Always cheers me up immensely.

But yes, “light self-inflicted injury” ones are definitely the best!
Closely followed by “potentially fatal but luckily completely fine”.

Class!

Obviously some of these are stunts gone wrong. But you’ve got to wonder with others, how they’d have been much better if they’d gone ‘right’. There’s a few in that lot which I’m struggling to see could ever have had a good outcome.

Things I have learnt from extensive watching of Fail videos:

1) Parkour is waaaaaay harder than it looks

2) no one can ever land a backflip. Especially when drunk.

3) attempts to ride any rail with a skateboard/bike/unicycle/rollerblades/scooter will result in a swift blow to the testiculae.

4) girls attempting “sexy” dances at home will grievously injure themselves and/or others, usually with furniture.

5) cutting down trees should be left to professionals.

6) pranks involving fire never end well.

7) even if you’ve just fallen two hundred foot onto some spiky railings, someone will still say “You alright dude?”
