Great news! There
are more videos on the Internet of people falling off and/or onto
trampolines than there are hats in Canada. (That's completely
untrue.)But as with most things in life -- people falling off one of these bouncy deathtraps just isn't enough.
Sometimes we need to add a little something to freshen things up. A dog here, a basketball net there. Anything to make the inevitable disaster just that little bit more comical.
Keep reading for FAIL feats the likes of which you'd never dare dream.
You're doing it wrong: In front of your mother!
Inner monologue: "I'm such a badass. I hope Stacey Jenkins sees this. Maybe then she'd finally stop ignoring me in Geography. It really comes to something when a good-looking dude like me has to throw himself from his bedroom window on to a trampoline to get a girl's attention. What? My mom is coming. Sh*********t! Wow, that hurts."
You're doing it wrong: Into a basketball hoop.
Inner monologue: "This is such a rad idea, I can't believe we didn't put the basketball hoop over the trampoline before. Time for a totally sick dunk ... Why am I upside down? Why does my leg hurt?"
You're doing it wrong: Because you missed the trampoline.
Inner monologue: "I'm so totally stoked my parents got me this totally rad trampoline. Oh, you want to see me back flip? Well, here you .. oh no, I've made an awful mistake."
You're doing it wrong: Because you're not human.
Inner monologue: "Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bounce. I love being a dog. Bouncy, bouncy, bounce. Squirrel ... Bouncy, bouncy, bounce."
You're doing it wrong: Professionally.
Inner monologue: "You're a professional, you're in control. You're a professional, you're in control. You're a proooaaagghh. I fell from so high. That's more than pain. Am I broken? Have I broken everything?"
You're doing it wrong: Because that's a bear.
Inner monologue: "I appear to have backed myself into a corner. Why's that little man pointing at me? Ouch. Motherlover! Wow I feel woozy ... Really, I'm talking 'bout the bear necessities, that's why a bear can wrestle bees .. I'm going to fall. "
You're doing it wrong: Into a bush.
Inner monologue: "This reeks of YouTube but I'm in too deep to pull out. As long as I don't end up in that hedge. 3 ... 2 ...1..."
You're doing it wrong: Mr. Fox.
Inner monologue: "By Jove, I love you Cherise. I love gallivanting with you ... wait, what the devil! This ... this floor seems not entirely solid. It's ... by God, it's bouncy. It's bouncy. Cherise, this floor is bouncy. Why aren't you bothered by this, Cherise?"
You're doing it right: So right it's kind of hard to tell which way up this is being filmed. (NSFW) Crappy soundtrack with low-quality swearing.)
Inner monologue: "I'm so good at trampolining. I've in no way wasted my life. This is definitely a transferable skill I'll be able to apply to other jobs."

Mobile searches also lead to the ‘YouTube’ search term as many phones have ’search portals’ as a homepage instead of URL bar.
Amazing that blogger is still so big. Can’t remember the last time I visited a blogger.com blog…
Yeah – i am surprised as well given it has been labeled the Spammers’ heaven..
If it is such a knock on Yahoo for being the 4th most visited site, what is it for thenextweb for being the 1 billionth most visited site?
Well, to be honest we are at #3452 which is a lot better than being at #1000000000.
To be fair Boris, Lakawak was only 999,996,548 spots off.
Oh…and this is why blogs are a joke and why blog writers will NEVER be mistaken for serious journalists. YouTube and Yahoo have been trading spots for a LONG time now. (Several months at least.) YouTube spikes on weekends while Yahoo spikes on Mondays. So this huge news story isn’t even a news story at all.
I believe the term is “put up or shut up”. If you’re certain you’d do a better job, please drop us a line
At what point did people decide that all bloggers desperately want to be journalists?
This is expected as because of the “visual” impact
Youtube IS google. So, while I get what Alexa is reporting, I think they ought to be combined. But since the writer is biased (being the editor for the Google Blog) they will most likely seek data to support their own theory, rather than the other way around. This is yellow journalism.
So let me get this straight: Because YOU think that they should be combined, I’m the one skewing the story? Sorry, but being owned by Google does not equate to being Google.
Note how you didn’t say a word about Live.com and MSN.com being 2 separate things in the top 10 list.
YouTube is a video service, not a search provider. The closest that I’d ever get to equating the two would be if this story were about Google Video.
Biased? Honestly, yes, I probably am. Does it come into play in this story? No. In fact, I think Alexa results are so far skewed that they barely matter. I’m pretty sure I alluded to that in the post.
It’s not journalism, therefore it isn’t yellow journalism. If you want journalism, subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. But what you apparently want to do is run your mouth, so you’ve found your platform.
Pardon me while I golf clap for you.
Go get em tiger.
you are very right – this isn’t journalism in any way
enjoy your golf clap – if a golf clap happens on the web – and nobody is there to hear it – it doesn’t count
That’s like saying – for example – that the traffic for whitehouse.gov should be combined with every US government website as the administration is part of the government, and then Alexia should report the entire US government as one website. Do tell, does that make sense? Also – there is no “theory” here, Brad just stated who Alexia ranked the sites.
We really can’t deny that YouTube has become one of the most popular websites because it is one of those sites that originated in video sharing and people can join the site for free.
Wow this is truly amazing news. Who woulda thunk it.

Yahoo isn’t that great. It’s good and I visit it everyday, but still, I would much rather use youtube.
Pretty interesting to see the dominance of google in searches.
pretty interesting
