We done with "EPIC FAIL" yet?

Meh. Fail has been a noun ever since essays and exams were introduced into the school system. Call me when they've been removed.

:guffaw: This is awesome. -right clicks and saves-
 
When can we wrap this trend up?

Welcome to the Internet, where jokes are run into the ground for months and years past their expiration dates.


And there we have it.

The problem with the internets is that most people don't know when to give it up, already.

Seriously. The pictures were funny at first but now it's everywhere. Now it invaded my Facebook posting. It just feels like the Internet equivelent to Austin Powers impersonations or when people still do the Ace Ventura "All righty then."

It reminds me of the Family Guy when the girl said to Stewie "You are the weakest link, goodbye" and he was all "Oh my God, how clever! I haven't heard of that one before! You are so original!"
 
EPIC FAIL IS ETERNAL! AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT WILL GO AWAY, IT WILL COME BACK, LIKE JASON IN THE FRIDAY THE 13TH MOVIES! BWAHAHAHAHA! :evil: (THIS THREAD IS IN DANGER OF EPIC FAIL, THOUGH!) -- RR
 
Fail will exist as long as the internet is infested with all that is fail. But one day, longcat and tacgnol will battle and merge. The internet will die and be reborn. Old memes will be new again and fail shall be washed away.

:vulcan: It has?

"That is a fail"
"I scored a fail"
"This fail is not good enough"

???

How does one use 'fail' as a noun correctly, without being on the internet? The noun IRL is 'failure'.
 
Internet humour is generally in and of itself an EPIC FAIL -- I generally ignore it. This has the added benefit of preventing joke fatigue, for the most part.

WIN? Yes, WIN.

The first two were actually heard in corridors of my school 35 years ago, son, and I'm sure long before that. As for the third, no that makes no sense to my ears, but neither does "This fall is not good enough" or "This oceon is not good enough". Not all possible sentences are sensible.
