Too often we see it in debates on television, politicians cutting each other off, and constantly nagging about things we do not care about. This guy shows us the real deal, the next time someone tries to outsmart you… do this.

You have to admire this airline, JetBlue, for having the balls to show a disaster movie featuring airplanes. I’m sure the people who fear flying, and sit in semi-panic for the entire flight listening to suspicious sounds from the engine, loved this.

Especially the last part where bits and pieces of the plane plummets to the ground. Lovely!

Gamerzine presenter Nathaniel Lippiett is given a close to impossible task in his script. At least he makes it seem impossible, to within an inch.

This guy and his wife had both quit their jobs as attorneys and had used all their bank savings to travel the world. Some game show cash would really have helped their economy when they returned, but unfortunately it was never meant to be as this world traveller never even crossed the doorstep of Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

Brian Fodera appeared on Who Wants to be a Millionaire in 2000 and completely failed to answer the first question. You have to give it to him though, it wasn’t as ridiculously easy as the first question usually is.

The real action starts at 01:00 in the clip.

Cutthroat Island is listed in the Guiness Book of Records as one of the biggest move failures of all time. The movie, directed by Renny Harlin and starring his then-wife Geena Davis as well as Matthew Modine, was released in 1995 to negative reviews. It was a financial disaster that killed off pirate movies as a theme until Johnny Depp fought back with his Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Cutthroat Island had a total cost of 115 million dollars and the total earnings in the US was only 10 million dollars, leading to huge dents in the reputation of both Davis and Harlin, as well as a huge hole in the wallets of the production company Carolco Pictures which went bankrupt the year after.

The movie has a rating 5.3/10 on the Internet Movie Database and a lot of movie goers are wondering why the movie did as bad as it did. That doesn’t help those involved much, for whom this epic pirate flick (with the tagline: The Course Has Been Set. There Is No Turning Back. Prepare Your Weapons. Summon Your Courage. Discover the Adventure of a Lifetime!) will forever be remembered as a production with similar results to walking the plank.

You can see the trailer for the movie below:

This is from the very first season of Who Wants to be a Millionaire in 1999, so this would be the first US participant who loses on the first question. Poor guy. Note – the real fail action starts around 2 minutes into the video.

America’s Got Talent.

Apparently, America’s Also Got Lack of Talent.

Watch how this wonderful magician reveals his rare lack of talent – in levitation.

Animals and TV is a bad combination – if you’re the one being on TV.

Cats are not always cute.

It’s the $500 dollar question on Who wants to be a millionaire. You receive a not-very-difficult question, but unfortunately you had the flu the week in school where grammar was taught…   so you ask the audience. 75% of them tells you the answer. But you don’t trust them. So you use 50/50. You have two options left, whereas one of them was chosen by 75% of the audience, the other by 10%. You decide to use your last lifeline and call a friend. That does not help, because you trust nobody but yourself. And you FAIL.
