  1. Oh my Baby Jesus *facepalm*, I like the puns they used though!

    • nenenene says:

      Those puns are genius

    • Smallbird says:

      wait… Americans knew about Steve Irwin but not about him dying? Weird.

      He kind of asked for it though… no offence to his fans. Stingrays are awesome, I fed one once. It was because of Steve’s carelessness that he died, but I feel sorry for his kids and wife.

      • Broke says:

        Yes, Americans knew about Steve Irwin AND his death. Many people were very sad about it. This is just one stupid person and you can’t even tell if they’re American.

        • Coral says:

          I’m not sure that being unaware of celebrities qualifies as being stupid. Maybe they just had better things to do than watch tv.

      • Piff says:

        Wait…..an American cartoon displayed a cartoon image of Steve with a stingray through his chest only a month or two after his death? Weird…

        Stop generalizing putz

      • Seriously? says:

        Uhm… yah. Contrary to popular belief, Steve Irwin was VERY well known in the US. Both in life and in death. Learns 2 intarwebs. You are entirely incorrect about what Americans do and do not know. Things the average American knows:
        - Anything on US Cable TV (which is getting more expansive daily)
        - The state of their own economy, sort of
        - Basic literacy and grammar skills
        - One or more genres of music, over a 10 year span
        - A bunch of celebrity trivia, primarily of US celebrities or foreign imports.

        Things that typical Americans don’t know:
        - Geography. Especially world Geography. It’s pretty bad out here.
        - Languages. Unless born into a bilingual household or quite affluent, most Americans speak at most one language.
        - International politics/diplomacy. If they’re not attacking us, we’re not interested in hearing about it.
        - Religion. Even a large percentage of devoutly religious people in the US seem to have not even read through their respective religious texts.

        So to recap, a crazy Aussie import on cable TV with his own show? CLEARLY well known (celeb, TV). The president of Iraq, a country the US is working to stabilize? Nawww (foreign, not attacking us, speaks another language anyways).

        • Seriously? says:

          Which is not to hate on the US, I’m from the US, and having traveled enough- I can tell you that each nation is having some pros and cons on being informed about things. But among all nations, the US has to be close to the bottom in knowledge of important world affairs. (But we are REMARKABLY well informed about the divorce of Mel Gibson. Can barely avoid it on the TV!)

          • 小胖子 says:

            Also, I have to disagree with the “Basic literacy and grammar skills”. Have you been to the internet lately? It’s not just Americans but damn, it seems like no one knows how to write in English anymore.

        • 5318008 says:

          -1. I don’t know any pop-culture stuff, I never watch cable TV or listen to pop music channels. And I’m not some old guy either. But then again, we’re not all the same, as was correctly pointed out.

    • Doc_Kei says:

      That’s not funny he was a valued colleague a wonderful man and a caring father. Shame on you, don’t encourage those types of things >:(

  2. sean d says:

    Fake, fake. Fake fake fake.

  3. Pun-isher says:

    this goes in my top 5 failbooks

  4. felicitym says:

    I love that last comment.

  5. A.S.N. says:

    This guy is an insensitive f**ker. yes it did sting.

  6. I get it.. says:

    this isnt funny..lmao fail

  7. lina says:

    Wow this guy’s an ass.

    • SallyStruthers85 says:

      Steve loved Croks but he always had a little soft spot in his heart for stingrays

      • such is life says:

        this it too all u C**TS!!!!!!!!!! who say stuff bout Steve Irwin i will f**king knock you the f**k out if i could find you!

        • SallyStruthers85 says:

          Hello!! C**T here, reporting for duty.

          What do Steve Irwin and Peter Brock have in common?

          They both like fish tales…

          hahahaha, i know this is pointless, but, no you wouldn’t, even if you could find me.

        • Billybob says:

          Hey internet tough guy, feel free to track me down anytime.

          Oh what’s this, your only talk. Well I’ll be. I never would have figured that. Trash talking like that just makes you look stupid.

  8. Allie says:

    How could he have missed the death of Steve when it was all over the news…?

  9. Haseo says:

    Just wow..

  10. Kate says:

    *facepalm* Yellow did a great job of recovering from a fail with that winning pun, though. X3

  11. Dave says:

    I bet this guy was in a coma for a decade.

    Maybe we shouldn’t also tell him about Billy Mays, John Lennon, Steve McNair, and perhaps if he/she is this stupid…….September 11.

  12. Wow, what an idiot *facepalm*
    Red and blue did some amazing puns before he figures out though :P

  13. Smirk says:

    Or the Lindbergh baby, Jimmy Hoffa…………..

    • jamisings says:

      Buddy Holly, Richie Vallens, The Big Bopper, Eddie Cochran, Maurice Gibb, Mama Cass, Billie Holiday, Glenn Miller….

      • N/A says:

        All of whom would most likely be dead by now anyway even if it weren’t for various plane crashes and what not. Steve Irwin wouldn’t even be 50.

        • Efrain says:

          …*facepalm*

        • jamisings says:

          Maurice Gibb was only 54 when he died and both of his brothers are still alive. In fact, I saw on their website they’ll be on American Idol.

          Other members of The Mamas & The Papas are still alive. Jerry Lee Lewis – who was born around the same time as Buddy Holly – is still alive. So are Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Chubby Checker –

          The only ones whom MIGHT be dead by now would be Glenn Miller and Billie Holiday. And that’s a big might as Etta James is still alive. And, last I knew one of The Andrews Sisters is still alive though I might be wrong there.

          So yeah, most would most likely be alive, not dead, if not for plane crashes, heart attacks, or drinking too much.

        • Laura says:

          Please read what you just wrote there….

  14. bednarluck says:

    Too well done – FAKE

  15. Poggy says:

    I get the strong impression yellow set the whole thing up in order to use the pun, which would have seemed outdated if used straight in a status.

  16. The Queen says:

    Hello, everyone! I’m here to spread the wonderful word of equality! Did you know that all humans are equal? It’s true! No one person is greater or lesser than another! Isn’t that great?! God made us that way, and God expects us to treat each other that way, so make sure you’re kind to everyone you see!
    Do you believe in equality? Good! Let’s make this world a better place and spread the word together that all human beings are equal!

  17. GuessWho says:

    or James Brown. or Rick James.

  18. Bekbob says:

    So the dude came up with the end line and created this setup so he could share it with all of us. That’s a lot of work for our enjoyment. Well played.

  19. Heather says:

    Lmao, this is a joke, right?

  20. If it isn’t real, it’s still a funny joke…

  21. Mack says:

    I think it’s real, but he had 30 minutes to come up with a clever pun.

    • N/A says:

      If it is real I bet he was googling to find out more info and came across the pun. Still doubting that it is real however.

  22. He attempts to make up for his massive ignorance by trying to join in on the stingray puns. This does not bear the expected result.

  23. duder says:

    Total BS…that’s why the name, face and everything the colored out

  24. girl says:

    Yellow’s last comment is a definate win

  25. BS says:

    I dont know what’s more fail that he didn’t no about Steve Irwin dieing or that he used Wikipedia to find that out

  26. asdf says:

    I have a feeling this person did this just so he can make that joke at the end. Old joke indeed.

  27. somebodyman says:

    We also shouldn’t tell him about Led Zeppelin’s drummer.

  28. Buckaroo says:

    Yeah, I think that Michael Jackson should come up with a new song! And what’s keeping Billy Mays from yelling at me from my television set! How inconsiderate.

    (too soon?)

  29. I Hate Fake Failbooks says:

    100% fake. Why would he react like that to the sunscreen comment?

  30. totto says:

    The last comment is pure win!
    I feel sad for Steve Irwin of course but that last comment made me crack up.
    “At least he died with animals in his heart”.. Priceless!

  31. God says:

    Play nice. Don’t make me come down there. Again.

  32. Whitechapel says:

    Yellow’s comment at the end about Steve Irwin almost prevents this from being a fail. Almost.

  33. blakjak says:

    LOL thats awesome

  34. caitlyn says:

    I’m pretty sure i want to B-smack all of them

  35. Blaaaaaaarpy says:

    Is it wrong that I laughed out loud after reading the last post? I think it’s been long enough now…

  36. Rebekah says:

    …Or Billy Mays…”

  37. Aztec says:

    As usual, Shakespeare said it best: “Death where is thy sting?”

  38. The Heck OOOOOOOO says:

    I actually was not aware JD Salinger had died. Whoops.

  39. Tom says:

    Did anyone else NOT catch yellow’s last comment? THAT has got to be the BEST recovery in the history of failbook.

    “At least Steve Irwin died the way he lived, with animals in his HEART”

    Didn’t the stingray pierce his heart when it tagged him?

  40. KS says:

    Wow, you really are stupid yet ignorant. That comment should have its own “Failbook” column…..

  41. Corky_B says:

    Ok despite what President Bush or the American government may have known about the attacks beforehand, DOES NOT MEAN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DID. People cannot be grouped as a whole, they are individuals and judged accordingly I’m willing to bet most of them did not deserve to die like that!

  42. regik says:

    Because all Americans are exactly alike and just blindly agreed with Bush and his tactics? You really need a swift hit with the clue paddle.

  43. Peterpan likes ferries says:

    Whose we?

  44. Someone says:

    I hate f**ktards like you. Especially if your british. You do know that Britain raped one third of the world right? So stfu! Im tired of british people always criticizing america when they completely ignore their own imperialistic colonial past.And it was because of Britain we had slaves. Britain was the one who kidnapped people from Africa long before the U.S even existed. I guess they dont teach history in the U.K.

    And if there were mass murderers running free(like Bin Laded) wouldnt you want them dead or in jail? I never agreed with Iraq and was strongly against it but we need to be in Afghanistan. If not the terrorists will just keep poring out of there and start blowing up buildings around the world. And not only Americans died on 911 there were people from around the world. Like someone already pointed thats why it was called the “world” trade center.

    Lastly I hate it when people start posting comments on pics or videos that dont have anything to do with the pic or vid at hand. Like when people like you bring up 911 or that the moon landing was fake or aliens are at Area 51. How much coke have these crak heads been sniffing?!

  45. Billybob says:

    At least your name fits.

  46. TheDarkSide says:

    and yet, it is

  47. Someone says:

    I meant bin laden. Damn sore finger.

  48. renee says:

    lol are you on drugs?
