Every success story once began as a fail… right? If you fail, that means you learn. Right? Well, not in this case. YouTube is a beautiful platform for producing raw footage of never-before-seen, raw footage that you couldn’t pay enough to see live. The following fail compilation channels gather the fails of the world to one, big, happy place. Take a look at these channels, and let’s hope you will never be featured on one!

The only way one could be referred to as “dumb” and a “genius,” it’s at the expense of other people’s fails. This fail compilation channel focuses on all of those individuals who sacrifice their own pride and humility, for the greater good of other’s laughter. So dumb, it’s genius.
