Fail Blog is a blog website with a twist. The website features pictures and videos or someone or something that has failed at whatever they were doing at the time and the failure was captured. The pictures or videos are captioned with the word fail, epic fail or X Fail.

The Fail Blog website was launched in November 2007. It quickly grew in popularity and by April 2008, it was sold to Pet Holdings Inc. Pet Holdings Inc also owns I Can Has Cheezburger? I can Has Cheezburger? is a website much like Fail Blog but it is geared towards funny cat pictures and videos with captions. I Can Has Cheezburger? was launched in January 2007 by Eric Nakagawa with one simple picture of a cat. http://icanhascheezburger.com/

It was established in 1996. The Webby Awards are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

In October 2009, Fail Blog released a book titled Fail Nation: A Visual Romp Through the World of Epic Fails. The book is full of irrelevant tips and useless suggestions about why to shop, who to eat and when to see. http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061833991/Fail_Nation/index.aspx

When Fail Blog had some issues with YouTube, it started hosting its own videos with Viddler. Viddler is another website where people can watch and publish videos. As of this time, Fail Blog uses various video channels including YouTube and MySpace.

Fail Blog has pictures and videos from the personal, from businesses, television bloopers and much more. It’s a location where all things comical can be found.
