Second! Lol at Helen Keller.
You realize that she wasn’t mute, right?
Yes she was.. And even if she wasn’t, she was deaf and blind so she wouldn’t have even known the person had said something.
No, she wasn’t. Despite all odds, with the help of her teacher, she taught herself how to speak. It’s not like it was clear as a bell but the fact that she learned to speak at all was miraculous.
Oh you silly people! ):
When people say “deaf, dumb, and blind” they don’t mean she was stupid. Dumb can also mean not speaking.
She was deaf AND blind. She contracted either scarlet fever and meningitis at 19 months which left her unable to hear or see for the rest of her life. However, she made huge breakthroughs in education, despite her inabilities.
she wasnt mute
You do realize that she didn’t answer because she couldn’t hear the comment in the first place, right?
She read lips. Duh. And yes, she could talk.
My goodness, have you never met a deaf person before?
Um, you do know what “blind” means though, right? My goodness. That means she couldn’t see to read lips. Duh.
She touched her teacher’s face; this is how she learned to form words.
Fail. Reading lips does not always imply visually. She could tangibly touch a person’s lips to understand them.
do you honestly think that if someone did talk s**t on helen keller they wouldn’t put their face to her hands . f**k there are some dumb people on here.
Nice attempt at using the word “tangible!”
How can she read lips if she is blind?
If she could have heard what was said she would have flipped them the bird.
If she could have heard what they said, they wouldn’t have said it because it would have been untrue.
volia!
sign language!
Voilà* silly…
Sign language..? Being blind? lmao
Hahaha! This one is great…
Drongoe evervarone seyys too hymme, use canott bee a jeanius cosse u isa trolleo….an u kno wat drongoes seys…….yuppe yu gottit…hee seyys rubbish…..

Haha, explains most of the financial crisis …. Though I think retarded squirrel to about 86% of managers
ludwig van beethoven was one of the greatest composers of all time,they said he couldn’t do it because he was deaf.he said “huh?”
^.^ good one!
no, just no.
Is it possible to fail more?
If so, don’t try please, you’ll probably cause the earth to implode ):
I divided by 0.
Oh shi-
Harlequin. Everyone said to him, “Your post sucks”. And they were all right.
This.
I love you.
I agree with what you’re saying I think ludwig van beethoven was one of the greatest composers of all time. Even if he was deaf. I think all the people who talked to him need to the heck
That was so dumb… I actually did laugh.
Ludwig Van Beethoven. Everyone said to him, “You can’t be a great composer, you are deaf.” And you know what he said? “Can you write what you just said? I’m deaf you c**t.”
fixed
That was indeed a good one!
I love this one!
Its a quote from the movie Dinner for schmucks.
An extremely bad American remake of French movie “Le Dîner de cons”, by the way.
nothing is bad as a French movie
Saw it… wasn’t bad really but wouldn’t call it great lol
and yeah… Dinner for schmucks is a 100% ripoff of it
Technically not a ripoff — just a remake. In fact, Francis Veber, the writer and director of Le Dîner de Cons, was an executive producer of Dinner for Schmucks. But, I do agree that the original was better.
I love you. (:
Helen Keller wasn’t actually dumb… Haven’t you guys seen The Miracle Worker?
Yes I did in 3rd grade. She still couldn’t talk all that well though.
They just couldn’t hear Helen Keller because she was wearing mittens.
Very clever — but she did eventually learn to speak, and gave speeches too. She was deaf and blind but not mute.
Yes, I knew that. But it is still funny.
Now, why couldn’t Helen Keller drive?
Because she is a WOMAN!
“Yes, I knew that. But it is still funny.”
(:
How did Helen Keller burn her hands?
Reading the waffle iron.
hahaha
Albert Hoffman. Everyone said to him, “You can’t be a great scientist, you’re a drug user”. And you know what he said? “OH MY F**KING GOD, THIS TREE IS TALKING!”
scents
lol
dinner for schmucks
Great film?? GREAT FILM??
You really need to the heck…
Helen Keler wasn’t dumb:
Thank you for posting this! Helen Keller was amazing in her adult life too. It’s sad that most people only know her for a movie of her childhood…as amazing a story that is.
Helen Keller was an admitted Socialist.
And? I do not agree with Socialism or Swedenborgianism (which she also subscribed to), but that does not make her any less brilliant.
Yes it does. Whoever supports commies is stupid.
Hellen Keller wasn’t dumb.
Dumb is another word for mute.
Hellen Keller could and did learn to speak. She gave speeches, actually.
Uh, guys – “dumb” can also refer to muteness. It’s not just a term for stupidity.
I can’t believe people don’t know this. That’s a fail.
Not everyone speaks English as their native language, you know.
Well, to be fair, the Dutch equivalent “stom” refers to both being deaf and being stupid as well, and I believe the same goes for German “blöd”. I’m not sure how this works in other languages, though.
No, blöd only means stupid; but “dumm” (stupid) and “stumm” (mute) are derived from the same word, I think.
I can’t believe people don’t know that we KNOW “dumb” means “mute”, and that we’re still right when we say “Helen Keller wasn’t dumb”, because Helen Keller wasn’t mute.
Hellen Keller wasn’t mute. She gave speeches after learning to speak. It was just difficult because she couldn’t hear herself or anyone else; she relied on the feel of her tongue to know she was forming words.
We tend to use the term ‘non-verbal’ these days.
that kid may be deaf, dumb and blind
but she
sure
plays
a mean pinbaaaaaaaall!
DAMN YOU! You beat me to it…
FAIL for the Lance Armstrong one.
Van Gough was a great painter before he took his ear off, Lance was a professional cyclist before he had cancer, and Beethoven was a great composer before he went deaf.
Thank you for mentioning these!!!
Failure is the only thing in this post…
yeah, i was going to post this.
Heh when I read the one about Vincent I immediately said “Errr he cut his ear off long after he became a painter”, not sure exactly when but it was fairly close to the point he topped himself if I remember, gave his ear to a prostitute he was in love with.
Just a pitty he was never considered a good painter until well after his suicide.
Good points on those others also… history is slowly falling apart
and Helen Keller is dust now.
I agree with you, just.. one thing. As a Dutch, I can’t bear to see someone spell ‘van Gough’ instead of ‘van Gogh’.
Uh….Hellen Keller wasn’t a mute. She was actually able to talk.
deaf doesn’t mean zero hearing and blind doesn’t mean zero sight.
keller had some of both.
and she could talk.
and f**k like a minx.
Sigh. Someday, people will realize that (even without vision and hearing), Helen Keller was more eloquent and more brilliant than over half of the kids alive today.
But then that’s not a miracle…my right foot is more eloquent and brilliant than many kids today… (Not to talk Keller’s accomplishments down)
true.
you can still hear with one ear…
It’s a line from a movie called Dinner for Schmucks. It’s not suppose to make sense.
If you have one ear, you can still hear….
Thanks, Ed. I got sick of the Helen Keller thing.
Testical? Lol, no comments on that one, I am surprised. It’s testicle folks, please feel free to comment on the spelling of blue.
Helen Keller jokes are hilarious because if you’re deaf, dumb and blind, you make all them funny noises instead of talking.
All of these quotes are taken from the movie Dinner For Schmucks starring Steve Carrel. (:
Helen Keller was ‘dumb’; not being able to talk.
Her teacher used a form of sign language to teacher her to talk and understand the world around her.
Do your research before cracking a practical joke.
Or arguing with someone else’s corrections.
*wasn’t dumb.
Darn stuck keys.
Too soon?
this is major LOL
i Have pants
God. Everyone said “You can’t be our almighty father, you have only one son.” And you know what he did? He killed him and said, “How you like me now?”
lol I am going to hell!
How is this post a fail? It works perfectly.
how would helen kellers parents punish her…… they give her a cheese grater to read…. what was hellen kellers reaction…. that was the most violent book i’ve ever read…. i have alot more of these
this was in a comic, only “nothing” in the hellen keller part was replaced with ARBALBRABRARBLUG!
