Youtube Success

edit

The article says little about Failblogs massive youtube success, it is the fifth most viewed and thirteenth most subscribed channel. Shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Karithomasmiller (talkcontribs) 08:08, 6 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

They have gone from posting regularly on youtube to not at all - nothing in the last 6/7 months....

It could be argued that it's finished on youtube - it really needs putting into the article too.

Rescue

edit

Well I did put the rescue tag back in the page but I noticed the deletion review discussion was already deleted. In my opinion, the notability bits that have been discussed for Fail Blog must be placed there now. kazu (talk) 14:11, 8 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

I agree

edit

This article has been fixed, with notability stated. I agree with the above. Saebjorn! 03:35, 10 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Future AFDs

edit

Anyone tempted to nominate this again should wait at least 4 months due to the amount of sources found. It can still be merged assuming it gets no additional coverage per WP:NOTNEWS.--Otterathome (talk) 08:01, 12 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Photoshop?

edit

Many, many of the entries on FAIL appear to be photoshopped. Anybody know real sources for this? NeverWorker (Drop me a line) 18:17, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I honestly think almost none of the images there are “photoshopped”. I came across a comment there which states that even if it's edited, it's still a fail, which I also believe. kazu (talk) 19:11, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

The article states that FAIL Blog has had a big impact on popular culture with the increased use of the word "fail".

Is there evidence for this, as opposed to the possibility that the site chose its name in response to the popular use of the word "fail". Certainly i can say from my personal experience that "fail" was in popular use among my peers some years before 2008 when the site was launched. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abdul tom (talkcontribs) 11:10, 4 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

According to Know Your Meme, which notably is itself part of the Cheezburger Network and therefore affiliated with FAIL Blog, states that "fail" as an interjection has been documented on Urban Dictionary as early as 2003, and that Google image and video searches for the term began to drastically increase from 2004. So FAIL Blog themselves don't seem to make that claim. 84.227.240.148 (talk) 21:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
