  • I would have to say that The Titanic was pretty much the definition of a "fail boat", and for the record, I love your hair.

  • I came across this during my wheez-a-thon and I so glad I found this! Thanks. Had me laughing pretty hard.

  • You're awesome!

  • Funny!!!!!:)

  • I think the 'fail boat' is the boat I fish off of! Lol

  • you got the fail boat because you didnt make the videos every week i charted it

  • It's a beautiful day for failing.

  • How does this have merely thirty thousand views? I adore you lot.

  • I have got to say that after hearing about your resolutions and how eventful your week was, I am completely inspired. I think you just gave me the motivation to get the ball rolling. And the island of FAIL must be a frequent stomping ground for all the haters, cause im sure i know someone from there. anyways, goodnight and godbless

  • kudos..i'm a grammar fan & this video was strangely entertaining..good luck with grad school.

  • You are very pretty

  • I have the answer to the Fail Boat.

    For starters, There was Roscow being the Avatar of the All Holy Spirit of Fail,

    Hachiro of course being The First Patron Saint of Fail. (but that dont matter!)

    The Fail Boat was created by this guy called Roscow (not his real name but what the heck). The Fail boat is Roscows personal water craft.. but since the boat is simply born from Fail (Roscow), it means that, unfortunately....it simply fails at floating.

  • Hi Lizz! This video has piqued my curiosity. I'm going to have to research this "Fail Boat." I'll check all the reliable sources including "Jane's Naval Ships" and Wikepedia. By the way, you're 'hiar' is not 'spoulky.' Take it from a guy - your sable ribboned tresses are da' bomb and your second best feature.

  • chris crocker is the captain yah i kno its that kind of fail boat but thts not all tay zonday is the first mate

  • I left comments today which contained commas and an astrik (sp)? I have visited fail island. It wasn't fun. I don't want to go back. Will you please correct this post?

  • Apples to Apples! Absolutely awesome! I'm glad to find other lovers of that fantastic game. I love it because it's so subjective. My dad once won the adjective "Special" with "Maine Lobster" using the justification, "You go to a restaurant. You order the special. What do you get?"

  • NEEDS MOAR FAIL BOAT!!

  • god does love u

  • haha the line graph looks like texas!!!

  • Liz congradulations! You DO finish your thesis!

  • lol "does it take you away to the island of fail?"

  • oh wow the fail boat

  • Wow, you're rewarding yourself with reading for pleasure.

    Such a nerd. :)

  • I enjoyed your videos so much that, after over 6 years of frequent youtube use, you caused me to finally get a youtube account so that I could comment on your page. I actually only discovered you this morning via mentalfloss. I already introduced your rap to my boss. This clip reminds me so much of my friend from Boston. I enjoyed your video on Twilight. Our culture has a way of teaching parents/teachers that the only important thing is to get kids reading no matter what it is. Thanks!

  • I WANT TO GO TO THE ISLAND OF FAIL!

  • chill out on the coffee

  • I believe that I *underlined and italicized* am the captain of the aforementioned "fail boat". Thank you for the very amusing blog.

  • Ack! spelling Fail! it was awesome. :D

  • Hey! I contra dance! it's aweseome!

  • I really like your videos, they give me a giggle during my lunch break. Oh noo watch out the fail boat is capsizing, its been rammed by the fail whale. lmao :)

  • what´s the name of the black and white musical parody?

  • Ohhhh for the win, God loves you!

  • who is the captian of the fail boat just had to lol.

  • i really wish i could come up with some kewl video ideas like you ladies do :)

  • u're sinking on the fail boat....

    PS

    SBADABADALOL!

  • I like you. Your videos make me warm and fuzzy. i especially like the way the video is patched together so that it's really choppy. Kinda makes me as excited about the video as you seem to be while talking in it. Plus it's totally original to use the choppiness between takes as part of your film technique.  ...ok. I'll stop. I don't want to scare you.

  • Awesome. I'm so glad you got more viewers after the "Yo comments are wack" video. Personally I'm finding your actual vlogs more interesting than the spoof. But I think that may be because as I've learned what a "nerdfighter" is, I've come to realize that I am totally one of them. I also think I need a better user name... this one is boring... but I haven't used it in 3 years. Not until I found your videos. I love sistersalad. You all rock.

  • Wow!! you can talk fast and i like these videos theyre really random !!!!! but funny.I think i might subscribe :-)

  • The failboat is a boat which originates in the seas of Mongolia, is captained by a genetically modified grapefruit, and when called, will bring you on a tour of Vatican City's best known lakes.

  • :) my friend calls people failures......all the time....and i think hes the captain of the fail boat because hes the biggest failure of them all! (them all as in everyone)

  • You sure talk a lot and jerk around a lot, too. Is it poor video editing or are you another Amy Winehouse?

  • Your hair is not spooky.  I think it is so aluring. Can I be the captain of the Fail boat? Is it anything like the LOve Boat?

  • 5/5

    Very Nice Video editing, and you girls are funny.

  • failboat

    A failed orginization or group of idiots. Doomed to failure and full of ineptitude, they still contiune to sail away on the sea of stupidity.

    In extreme circumstances, one man can be categorized as a failboat in and of his/her self.

    Pictures of capsized or rolled boats usually shown as an example of what happens when the crew does something.

  • i feel bad for people who have to listen to YOU everyday!

  • Comment removed

  • The "Failboat" is an internet meme. (Oh how I detest that term. It's probably a manifestation of my intense distaste for Richard Dawkins, the simple-minded stooge! Ahem, I digress.)

    Are you familiar with the phenomenon of "Lolcats", whereby humorous captions are photoshopped onto picture of cats? "Failboat" is the same idea, only using a picture of a boat ... failing miserably at his boat-like duties. A quick Google Image search will confirm this.

    I like the videos; keep it up.

  • You couldn't possibly have been in danger of getting kicked out of your class for TALKING TOO MUCH, could you?

    Seriously, if you like the "fail boat", stick out your tongue, grab it and hold it with your fingers and say "I was born on a pirate ship"

  • haha, just started watching your videos, and they're quite alright. Anyone who lives in Nerdfighteria is cool in my book!

  • Laugh Out Loud. I'm guessing this person that accused you of being on the "fail boat" meant to say "failure boat" which would be grammatically correct but still wouldn't make much sense. Anyways i just wanted to congratulate you on your success. ..Big fan. And as for (greefermike) umm..buddy, you've got about 15 errors that I've counted. And that's not including the unnecessary pauses.(...) One more thing, by saying people don't care what you smart people think, your implying that your dumb.

  • A rousing game of "Apples to Apples" always makes me feel better, too!

  • The captin of the failboat would be like... pedobear... maybe capt lulzbeard... yeah... i think lulzbeard is well captin of the failboat.... well anyway

    You can consider me a hate because, to be honest i think your an idiot...

    No, im not finished, the way your in this stupid popularity contest on youtube makes me loose all faith in humanity.

    You might not have noticed, but people dont care about what SMART people think, why would they care about what you think? unless they'r also... idiots.

  • I should have known from the title,

    Alllll abord the failboat.... playing some random woman talking randomness,

    This does not amuse me :(

  • mehehehehe

    you're really nerdy and hyper

    amazing =D

  • I'm really curious. What exactly is contradancing?

  • The "Fail Boat", or the tradition of failure, began in the year 2013 BC when Bob the Caveman (fiendishly jealous of his older, more successful inventor of the wheel brother Philbert) decided to invent the "treel", which was nothing more than stone triangles affixed to a cart. Needless to say, this invention never really caught on. However, the Fail Boat as we know it today, a large ship of fail, was founded by Cpt. Johann-Heinrich Fehler of the U-234, who failed for Germany, but won for the US.

  • I am not informed on the subject of the fail boat, but if I had to guess, it picks you up, then whisks you away to the middle of the ocean, and upon arrival, sinks.

  • We are the two of the C aptains of the Failboats (SuperBoobs and SuperHobo). We have a whole fleet now. Its alot like the HP Knight Bus when you stick your wand out on the street than it comes....and it wiz you away to the island of pirate fail... one day you shall join us....its nice there we have lots of fun failing.. *nods*

    ~end of randomness.....ILY you guys though~

  • I'm pretty sure Bubbles the Nerdfighting Puppy is the Captain of the Failboat.

    He is a pirate, after all.

  • Ty for all your videos...i just subscribed!!! i have seen your videos before but it has been a while....i remembered your videos so you much be really amazing!!! i am happy to have subscribed. your videos interest me and get me thinking :) TY

  • What's your thesis on?

  • At first, you weren't really my favorite, but the more videos of yours I watch, the more I like you.

    You're quite clever, lets hope I like the next videos even more.

  • I got an "A" on a paper I wrote on "The Brothers Karamozov."

    Read "Crime and Punishment," too.

  • just to let you know, it may be a lil dangerous to run on a tredmill while reading. i tried it once and i got very dizzy and nauseated and almost fell/puked.

  • Hooray for John Green referencing the fail boat in a video. :)

  • Fail boat...

    Fail boat?

    I'm stealing that shit, and using it on other videos. That way, people who haven't seen this video will think I'm creative, witty, and original.

    I, on the other hand, will never be questioned on my plagerism. I will also never confirm nor deny whether I originated the concept furthering my diabolical plot as others join in starting a mini YouTube *fail boat* fad.

    It will last about 2 months and die out.

  • I have just been informed that the fail boat fad has come and died, and I completely missed it while being a 40 something has been.

    I will continue on my plagerism quest until I steal the perfect new fad to be. For this will make others think I am creative, witty, and original.

  • Haha!

    Nah man, the fail boat is still around, your cool.

    Altho you might wanna mention on how its captian is pugwash and how it comes out of your loo if you are landlocked.

    Also no forget the witty that you have to work on it for as long as your failure persists.

    (already sent to sister liz) :P

  • Did the fail boat carry Cubans?

  • It makes me so happy to know there are other people who love contra dancing :) That even looks like the place I go to...

  • The fail boat has a Fail Sail.

    A Fail Sail is a sail which fails as a sail, and thus becomes a Fail Sail.

    Inmagine how it would look, like a hanky with a giant hole in it -.-'

  • Did you eat the Speak Medicine? Aniwhere you are pretty.

  • Holy crap! Your editing skills are top-notch!

    I am very, very tired after watching this video.

  • hm maybe there's no captain. Considering we all fail, but the failure we endure, ultimately brings light and struggle, makes us grow as humans. So maybe its just a cruise ship. Like a metaphor. We are cruising through life?

  • HA ha haha HA hahahaha HAHahaha HA AHAHAHA

  • Hmm, if you want to know more of the fail boat, just send me a message or something, idk. No idea on how to make it fit, with a link to some pics and such in here, hmm, yeah.

    Oh yeah. By the way, the fail boat is a cargo ship.

    You don't wanna ride it, trust me.

    No, I didn't ride it, but something I originally wanted was on one of the fail boat's voyages.

    I didn't want it afterward. Not that it returned with it anyway....

  • I personally loved this video, especially the part with "hiar." Great Job once again.

  • Which Heliopolis... there are numerous and now I must know... you must tell me! Please tell me! Please please please please!!!!!

  • Dangit, now you got vanilla ice stuck in my head! You evil evil woman! ;)

  • You are by far my absolute favorite sister.

  • HAHA! Yeah, show them haters who's boss! LOL you have to do more reactions about them haters and laugh about them. Because they're totally funny. They waste their time on videos they don't like. What's the point of even commenting! That is so stupid LOL. By the way girl, I think you're very pretty, HAHA. No, I'm not kidding!

    HAHA your line graph thing is interesting! Good thing you didn't fail that class.

  • your pretty!

    x

  • Apples to Apples!!!

  • Fail

  • I just wanted to say that Contra Dancing is probably the greatest thing ever created.

  • i agreeeeee

  • Beautiful eyes.

  • lol, "THE FAIL BOAT?!"

    hahahahah, (:

  • i concur

  • Captain of the FailBoat would be mayor McCheese.

  • My goodness, you girls are quite insane! Not to mention so far up your own colon you could tell what you'll have for lunch the next day! Quite the god thing, use make-up (Lazy!) and stop insulting non-articulate people (Yeah, they deserve it most of the time, but they are important! They get all the crap jobs we don't want!)

  • Did you know the tune from Ice Ice baby was originally from Under pressure by Queen?

  • Dostoevsky. For pleasure? Believe it or not, you're the second person I've known to read Russian literature for fun. I'm sure there are more. But you seem so upbeat for enjoying Dostoevsky so much that it's your treat for remembering to run. Hmmm. Very interesting!

  • I actually know quite a few people who like to rock out to Fyodor Dostoyevsky. You should try it some time - you might even like it ;-)

  • I'm sure Russians read Russian literature for pleasure.

    Kidding. Dostoevsky doesn't sound like the most fun at first, but he's luxurious as a writer, especially with the consciousness he invests in his characters. It's a good incentive for running.

  • It would seem the "Fail Boat" wouldn't do much of anything. It's a fail boat, probably doesn't float none too well, whales hump it, it's got a glass bottom in the weight room etc. Unless yer thinking of an "Epic Fail Boat" RE; the Titanic. Or the first fail boat, Noah's Ark. As God set ta kill us all then figured; "May as well save a few, what could it hurt?"

  • lmfao! I can picture the fail boat coming in on its side, all beat up, kind of like the 'black pearl' from Pirates of the Caribbean.

  • It is my belief that Captain Hammer is the captain of the Fail Boat and I am his second mate. My boat is in the shop because it's failing in epic proportions.

  • God does love you! :)

  • There's no captain for the FAIL BOAT?

    I call dibbs!

    Argh (:

  • Dear Sistersalad, Thanks for letting me respond to your video! I love the one you made and I hope that many people will see mine as well!

     -Stainglassfox

  • Yay! apples to apples. I think that is what they should do on the fail boat to keep them less bored.

  • Will you marry me?

  • +10 cool points for giving my friends, and I a new inside joke! Also, I nominate Bill Gates to be the Captain of the fail boat..Unless you've already hired one, have you?

  • Ha. My friends and I have an inside joke about Apples to Apples. Long story, it involoves my Mormon friends and thier boyfriends. HA.

  • Are there failboat pirates? Do they go "Yarrrrrrrrgghhhh!!"?

  • The fail boat part had me in stitches...and Apples to Apples, dancing AND Bible study? You're even cooler than I had previously assessed based on your other videos.

  • Brothers Karamazov is Fyodor's best book. My babysitter slipped it to me on the sly because my parents, father that is, wanted to keep Oedipal fantasies as far from home as possible, not because he feared I'd one day kill him, but because I was still suckling mom at the time and he was quite jealous.

  • oh my goodness. I really have no idea why i love you guys soo much. But lizz, sorry if i have bad grammar, but im trying! Anyway, you are my favorite lizz, i honestly have no idea why. I just LOVE watching you guys. You should try picking more of your favorite user names, i enjoyed watching that part, and also the fail boat part of course. Oh and you dont have "spouky hiar" its lovely. :) thanks for being awesome!!

  • hahaha! i love your positivity about the failboat. lol i guess no one ever really analyzed it like that, you had me cracking up for a while! ^_^ subbed!!!

    p.s awesomeinjection is an amazing name! lol

  • I would be facsinated to see such a video.

  • An Epiphany Party is a celebration of King's Day, in commemoration of the day the wise men came to visit Jesus. I went to celebrations in the French and the Mexican tradition. Each involves eating a cake which contains either a bean or a plastic baby. If you get the baby/bean in your slice, you are king for the day, or year.

  • Yup, it is!

  • Yes, I've read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. I find her stuff fascinating!

  • I'm studying cultural anthropology.

  • An explanation is forthcoming in a future video--don't worry. :-)

  • I don't know that Fail Island is the most appealing vacation destination. Although I've never been there, as far as I know, so I could be wrong...

  • SERIOUSLY! I love Lost. Cannot wait for Season 5 (especially now that I'm aware of the Fail Boat connection).

    --Lizz

  • Noseless emoticons are so weird-looking! All squishy!

    --Lizz (obviously :-)

  • Thanks!

  • Hahaha! "Ironically without fail." Well, well, well done. :-)

  • A Sajtrolo sounds absolutely delicious! I will keep my eyes out for one. Mmmm.

  • Way longer than I really had free time to devote to it. But it was so fun!

    P.S. Awesome username!!!

  • Wow, my only other question is: how do you know so much about the Fail Boat? :-) Thanks for sharing your wisdom in the ways of fail!

  • Ooh, good luck with your thesis! And thanks for your support!

  • :-) Thanks!

  • But it is certainly true!

  • Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the video!

  • Very true!

  • Ooh, awesome! The only time I've asked strangers "are you a Nerdfighter?" is while walking around at a Nerdfighter gathering trying to film people for a video, so usually they say yes... But I'll have to try it out in other circumstances to see what responses I get.

  • I don't know, I'd kinda prefer to avoid skin cancer later in life... But maybe that's just me.

  • Ooh, "unityofeffect" is quite good, too!

  • Well, congrats on having such an awesome one! :-)

  • Thanks!

  • Thanks!

  • I know, it was incredibly awesome!

  • Ooh, yes. Quite possibly! And nice work with the Harry Potter reference--always appreciated. :-)

  • :-) Thanks! Yes, Apples to Apples is the best game ever! I'm studying Anthropology.

  • Ha, fabulous, thank you for the hiar-love, and for taking the time to translate your comment into "Whack." I would say best avoid head cancer. I'm all for embracing whatever you've got in the hair department (and in most other departments, as well).

  • :-) Thanks!

  • Thanks!

  • Haha, Cabin Boy of the Fail Boat---I love it!

  • Sorry about that!

  • Ah, yes. That was a bit of a Fail Boat, wasn't it?

  • Thanks! It was quite a tricky task. :-)

  • :-) Thanks so much!

  • Yes, good question. It's not that Apples to Apples ended on a down note, just that after the high of playing I returned to a general, stable level of overall contentment, rather than staying in the heightened state I was experiencing while in the midst of the game...

  • Yes! Or does the Fail Boat fail away into the funset? Failing wouldn't be so bad if you got to fail into a funset. That doesn't sound so bad...

  • Oh, no, many apologies for getting your username wrong! Thank you for refraining from calling the Fail Boat. :-)

  • Wow, I wish I could read Russian; that would be awesome. Alas, no. Translation is by Andrew R. MacAndrew.

  • C'est la vie. I share that wish as well...but too lazy to act on it. I've not seen any of his translations. Hope it reads well, and you'll have to let me know if it's worth reading.

  • Yay! We will always love our first 100 subscribers best! (But sh, don't tell the others!)

  • I believe a fail boat is used for the transportation of fail. It is not a passenger ship, so, unfortunately, it cannot take you to fail island. However, if you are in need of fail, it can bring the fail to you. If you are land locked, the fail must be transported the rest of the way by the fail train, which travels on the failroad tracks. No one knows the captain's real identity, his crew simply refers to him as "Captain Fail". I hope my knowledge on the subject has helped put your mind at ease.

  • Oh, stop being so cute! Oh, darn... praying and jesus and stuff? Darn.

  • BREATHE :) i really like you, and your moxy. its like, the sisterhood of the traveling youtube account?

  • U FAIL!!

  • 'er...i don't use dressing on my salad...but to each their own...(-;

  • you are so talkative, i think if we gave people in gaza a cent for each letter you have said in this video we can rebuild Gaza, after the Israeli destruction.

    hey why don't you mention the inncoent people being killed by the Israeli army?

  • YES! APPLES TO APPLES!

  • The fail boat is a skyship that is navigated by Hitler or Paulie Shore. They switch shifts ramdomly so you never know. Either way, It floats in the sky.

  • Oh, hey! That's my screen name up there. : ) Thanks for noticing.

  • Oh my gosh! I was going to object to your initial comment about someone not remembering a (your?) name the third time you meet. I was going to say that if you went to a contra dance with 300+ people a week, you might not remember every name 3 months later ... and then you ended your video with a mention of a contra dance! COOL!!! Maybe we'll meet at one some day ...

  • that rant about the fail boat was hilarious..tho i was hoping for more rap videos..this video makes me want to stay subbed anyway haha..even if ur hiar is spouky

  • omg you're stalking me :P

  • DUdes!! I love your music parodys. I was anxious to hear the Ice Ice baby parody. Maybe you'll actually make one soon.

  • My Favorite of the usernames you couldn't say was No7Pencil.

  • Wow you speak so fast!!!

  • The fail boat cannot take you to the Island of Fail; that is the Fail Ferry.

  • never heard of a fail boat. But I have heard of the retard train. :D

  • I love you guys! Ah! You're fantastic. My favorite new channel by far.

    HISTORY OF THE FAIL BOAT:

    Concerning the fail boat, it's origins are from word-play on a wittily captioned photo (google image it) displaying a capsized ship. It grew so popular with forums and such (as 'epic fail' and 'epic win' were proliferating in usage) it became its own fantastic entity. It's not uncommon to want to scream out "TOOT-TOOT! All Aboard the SS Fail Boat!" after witnessing epic failure.

  • Charon is the captain of the fail boat.

  • Lol, this was pretty cool. Its funny how you guys (figuritivly speaking <- bad spelling) can think up some crazy stuff (in a good way) lol. Pretty kool, but I wonder how long it took to do this all, because you can tell it was day, then it was night at the end. FUNNY???? :D!

  • My New Years resolution is getting myself healthy so me and my husband can start our family, and writting in my journal every few days :)

    Love the vids, please keep them coming

  • Aww damn, my screen name sucks... :-( Ahh well. CHEERS!!
