Today my friend sent me a bumper sticker that said, "Do you know that gullible said slowly sounds like 'green bears'?". I spent quite a few minutes trying to get gullible to sound like green bears until I realized that it didn't. FML

If someone sends you something containing the world gullible, ignore it and assume you're being tricked. It's a good rule to follow.

Also, it took you thirty minutes to realize this? That's just sad.

#1 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:04am by redbluegreen

Thankfully it didn't say "thirty" but "quite a few". Still, longer than an instant says to me the OP isn't the brightest of fellows.

#22 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:34am by Ventriloquisitor

Oops. How do you know I wasn't watching the OP? I could've been right there...
No. I would've intervened.

Still, 'quite' a few minutes is a lot more then the fifty seconds to turn your brain on or the two to three times it takes to say it out loud.

Reminds me of the If You Seek Amy thing.

#23 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:40am by redbluegreen

Someone changed it to 'quite a few' all of a sudden.. It did say 30 minutes originally :)

#32 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:52am by dutchguy

I thought so! I mean, i'm seeing the FML as I type it. Who messes that up? I was like... what?
Thank you. :D

#36 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:21am by redbluegreen

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.

See shit like this is so not an FML. I submitted my FML and it wasn't posted. However everyone on myspace thought it was so an FML.

Here's the FML

Today, I took Nyquil to help me sleep. About fifteen minutes ago I realized that Nyquil arouses me more than anyone I've ever slept with. FML

OP: YDI. You're a moron and you clearly need to go back to school. Seriously, how stupid can you be?

#65 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:27pm by xkonstantine125x

Its okay; Before I read the last sentence I was trying to figure it out too(:

#75 - On 06/20/2009 at 3:04pm by lexilovesyou

i did the same thing until i read it doesnt... lol

i must be gullible!

#76 - On 06/20/2009 at 3:11pm by sourlysweet

Lol, and how was this even an FML?

#87 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:58pm by Joshwana

It said "the next half hour" instead of quite a few.

#90 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:36pm by Xero3g

Haha, I was ABOUT to do it until I read the end. xD Close call.

#96 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:48pm by Zelthie

this is a stupid fml. it basically means anyone can have an fml here when they fall for a very small prank

#101 - On 06/21/2009 at 2:40am by maggy

Ahahahahahaha. That's about as stupid as acknowledging the door you're about to walk into, yet still, SOMEHOW, walking into it! Good effort. You get a gold star! :oP

#117 - On 06/23/2009 at 11:35pm by Tazzles

your FML isnt a FML

#132 - On 01/24/2010 at 2:07am by chaos753159

Hahaha I agree how DUMB are u?! Sry YDI

Agreed.

#59 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:59am by F_M_L_y0

this has happened to me in 4th grade. never again. learn the lesson and don't fall for it...be glad no one was around hahahah

#3 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:08am by czechgirl78

facepalm. utter facepalm

#131 - On 01/22/2010 at 9:40am by brown_eyez

U took that long?! o.O after maybe..3 tries I would assume a person would usually give up, kudos for not being a quitter :)

#6 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:12am by jncwmnd

You're just too stubborn =P

#7 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:13am by crazyjack

did you know the word "gullible" isnt even in the dictionary?

#8 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:14am by CruelSirDrum

Prove that it isn't.

#44 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:50am by TheLetterZero

haha nice one.

#60 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:06pm by hazebop09

lol That's so cute. My mom was always gullible like that. Don't lose that naivete, but certainly, as the first commenter said, if it says "gullible" anywhere in the joke, assume you're being tricked.

#9 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:15am by Jaguaress

LOLLLLLLLL failz.

#10 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:26am by staciieee_x3

You stupid fuck.

#11 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:30am by Xero3g

best fml ever

#12 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:31am by atruegem

You can't speed up Green Bears to sound like "gullible", but you can rearrange it into "beer angers".
But maybe your next 30 minutes would be better spent watching Sesame Street.

#13 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:32am by UncombedCoconut

Did you know people can die from being fucked too hard?

#14 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:41am by redbluegreen

Some people get fucked stupid. Refer to above

#17 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:56am by babybarb

/Sarcasm

Read Snuff.

#18 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:16am by redbluegreen

Snuff, huh? Good times there.

#91 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:38pm by Xero3g

I think it's time for the OP to go back to kindergarten

#15 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:48am by Avenging_Angel

lol i just did the same thing but it took me 30 seconds :\

#16 - On 06/20/2009 at 6:54am by gaararox13

Did you know that gullible is written on your ceiling?

...Dumbass

#19 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:16am by ThisVampyricLust

YDI for having never heard that one before!

#20 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:17am by aimless

How do you keep an FYL-er in suspense?

#21 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:18am by aback

how is this a FML moment?

#24 - On 06/20/2009 at 7:46am by hotissue

AHAHA. there are more. i fail too.

#25 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:07am by ResHawk

Haha. I'm so tricking my little sisters with this.

#26 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:07am by intrepid00

OMG. Its so an FML.

#27 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:23am by sun_babe

it's okay my friend did that three times. one with that one and one with "if you say gullible slow it sounds like ice cream."

it was out loud too.....

#28 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:27am by nerdfighter4life

You are really stupid. Congratulations.

#29 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:33am by hypothetically

How do you keep an idiot in suspense? I will tell you tomorrow.

#30 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:38am by BikerMike

my pet dinosaur told me that one a few billion years ago

#31 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:46am by Colby_Colbert

lmfaoooo #19 you are GOD.

#33 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:55am by failsatlife23

I'm sorry but fyl. I didn't even get past the period of that sentence before I realized the words sounded nothing alike just from the letters in the word alone.

#34 - On 06/20/2009 at 8:58am by Suckstbeyou

hahahha
it got me too!! dont feel stupid,

#35 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:13am by failure_grrl234

What? "Gullible" slowed down sounds like "Your'e an idiot.", not "green bears" It's true, i swear.

#37 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:23am by Vasir

Dont worry this isn't the REAL FML, the fml is to the people who read this and try it themselves. (ME) & (YOU) lol :P

#38 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:25am by DreMaMa

wow...I know what you mean. sometimes I'm gullible, too.

#39 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:31am by jollyholly414

You shouldn't listen to people with weird requests.

#40 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:33am by 24788

I might be taking a stab in the dark here, but I'm pretty sure no one cares. Your life hasn't ended just because you're 'gullible'.

#41 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:40am by ForWhatItsWorth

hahahaha i spent like 10 seconds doing that haha

#42 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:45am by kellyluvsu12353

Ahaha, I'd definitely do that xD

#43 - On 06/20/2009 at 9:45am by anamaia

Are you mentally ill or something? The fact that it took you thirty minutes is upsetting that's how stupid you are. By the way this isn't an FML just because you're stupid.

#45 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:17am by bigmack95

tht soo sounds like me lol

#47 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:25am by moosey1234

you ppl have zero empathy

#48 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:35am by p89hg69

You should've known once you read the word "Gullible." If not that, you should've known because it's on a bumper sticker. Bumper stickers usually have jokes and stuff on them

#49 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:35am by iSmellNice

op are you a dumbass?

#51 - On 06/20/2009 at 10:53am by chsuh

HAHA!!

I get the joke and this isn't one here.

It actually kinda sounds like 'gummy bear' if you say it slow enough, I'm seriouse! 8D

#52 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:03am by Somebody52

I thought it was "green beans?" Maybe the N looked funky.


Anyway, not an FML.

#53 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:14am by skiBOAT

did you now that gullible isn't in the dictionary?

exactly-don't listen to any sentence with he word gullible in it

#54 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:22am by skittlesxmonster

haha-don't worry someone said that to me only they said lemonade sounds like gullible i said it out loud infront of everyone =( lol

#55 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:32am by twilight_addict

have you not heard that joke before?

#56 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:42am by Jackie10

NO... this is awesome! I just did that to a chick in my office (we work at a college) and she fell for it too! :) Good times! :) :) :)

#57 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:47am by sparda4355

My drama teacher actually wrote "gullible" on a piece of paper and stuck on the ceiling in her classroom. Nobody ever looked when she said: "Gullible is written on the ceiling!"

#58 - On 06/20/2009 at 11:52am by zoe_rawr

damn bruh-bruh, iit took me a sec 2 figure iit out 2. lolz

#61 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:06pm by werewolf_13

#63 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:09pm by girl909

As long as you weren't in public when you were doing this. I can imagine someone walking down the street going "gull-i-ble" over and over!

#64 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:16pm by themoonglows

it is also a sign of great intellect if your hand span is larger than your face.

#66 - On 06/20/2009 at 12:38pm by notsocrafty

So.....you were tricked by a friend to sound stupid when no one was around? HOLY SHIT, YOUR LIFE SUCKS! it's called fuckmylife.com not mylifecansometimesbelame.com

Haha dummy. :D

#69 - On 06/20/2009 at 1:12pm by elboon

That's funny, and I have never heard of the joke before too. It's no biggie.

To #67, more than half of the fmylifes here would suit that website.

#71 - On 06/20/2009 at 2:21pm by sucker22

#72 - On 06/20/2009 at 2:43pm by BRCobban

Don't worry, you're not the only one who did it, I've try too =D LOL

#73 - On 06/20/2009 at 2:50pm by AvrilToqueville

#100 - On 06/21/2009 at 1:00am by crazyghost7

Okay I'm dumb enough to not finish reading the whole thing but tried a few times to figure how gullible sounds like green bears.

#102 - On 06/21/2009 at 7:32am by icedwine

#103 - On 06/21/2009 at 12:38pm by Fyourproblems

#104 - On 06/21/2009 at 12:43pm by jadeho

#105 - On 06/21/2009 at 2:27pm by effmuhlyf3

LOL this one was hillarious, before i finished reading it i actually tried saying gullible slowly, after a few tries i read the rest of the FML, im stuped

#107 - On 06/21/2009 at 8:59pm by AvinG

What are you talking about? Of course you can get 'gullible' to sound like 'green bears' if you say it slowly enough and add the right emphasis on the right syllables. Maybe you need to just try again? :P

#108 - On 06/21/2009 at 10:31pm by Moviefreak321

haha I saw that bumper sticker. I read it and was like "gull...i...ble...ohhhhh....."

#109 - On 06/22/2009 at 12:11am by 1harry1potter1

I tried it before I read the last line o_O
hahha, gullible dumbasses ftfw xD

I convinced one of my friends, who lives in Massachusetts (like me) who was vacationing in Florida that there was an half an hour time difference between the two states. >:B

#110 - On 06/22/2009 at 5:55am by SusanaSaysRawrxD

I've fallen for that before! Except someone told me that seagulls sound like they're saying gullible if you listen real closely. It took me about 15 minutes to get it, though! And then I fell for it the next day with another gullible trick. lol

#111 - On 06/22/2009 at 7:19am by crazyt446

did the op died?

#112 - On 06/22/2009 at 8:52am by l30n

i bet you also didnt realize that gullible is not in the dictionary. check it if you dont believe me, which you probably dont, since you fell for a dumb joke...

@110, thats effing hilarious, a half hour difference!

#113 - On 06/22/2009 at 12:49pm by sirfuzzitoes

Actually gullible if pronounced in a Japanese accent can sound somewhat like it.

#114 - On 06/22/2009 at 1:39pm by mcortez77

If you say "orange" backwards it sounds like gullible.

#115 - On 06/22/2009 at 9:22pm by Karnezar

hah i saw that bumper sticker too and i told my boyfriend and he did the same thing as you

#116 - On 06/23/2009 at 7:23pm by Jillycakesxox

I did that for about 5 minutes, until I read the rest the of it.. Haha xD

#118 - On 06/25/2009 at 11:00am by xPediophobia

hah tbh, i read this real fast and i actually tried it :) hahaha.

#126 - On 10/12/2009 at 5:05pm by antonioohama

Today, I spent 5 minutes trying that too even though the OP said it didn't work... then I didn't realize the joke "gulible" until 10 minutes later. I feel retarded. FML
