Soon to be appearing on fail blog
Looks like a Redneck Stew to me.
Mmmmm Man soup!
C’mon, this is so obviously photoshopped. Please don’t vote this and start making this site just a bunch of fakes.
I dont know ive seen one b4
No, this is actually a common practice in Japan (only… in big metal drums, not actual tubs). It’s like a camp bath.
Hot tub? More like a gravy boat if you ask me.
OK, Mikey, I give up. Educate me: what’s the “obvious” evidence that this is a doctored picture?
Are you sure it’s REALLY a hot tub? Or is that what the natives told the 2 tourists to trick them into the stew??? Guess who they had for dinner that evening?!?
Is this the “Boiled Frog” experiment gone wrong?
It’s Poland again!
That guy on the left is holding a polish beer “LECH”. In Poland everything is possible
@thereibrokeit
…Only if you post it.
Frat game gone wrong?
They fail because it’s two guys in the tub.
@Luke
hmm but they sell lech in london. i had one the other week…
@Mikey Cav
probably had a pixel in your eye.
hotdiggity…
well if it is shopped, the photoshopper did a nice job adding those tiny flames that wrap around the tub, its the little things that matter.
I wonder if those 2 realize that that water most likely will boil, and then they will be seriously burned.
Good luck on those second degree burns, boys.
you lot never played “first one out of the tub is a pussy” ?
This is photoshopped, look closely at the bathtub, right in the middle is this random orange PERFECT rectangle, that and that fire looks pretty intense those flames wouldn’t just stop at the base, they would go up the side too.
+Metal absorbs heat = burns +Plastic melts.
Fail
for one I can’t find this so called “perfect triangle”
secondly while the fire does look intense those flames would stop at the base, as by the time it would get to the side it has cooled enough.
water has quite a large thermal capacity which will prevent it from heating too fast. in other words, this could actually work, for a few minutes at least.
I prefer my wieners roasted on the open flame not boiled, but that’s just me. What the hell, please pass the mustard, they’ll be ready real quick.
p.s. nice hats
Weight of cast iron tub: 450lbs
Weight of 30gal water: 249lbs
Weight of two college students: 360lbs
Reliability of wrought iron barstools on wet sod: FAIL
its not cast iron its probably ceramic
Hmm, you watch enough Japanese cartoons and you are likely to see something close to this, a hot bath powered by burning wood, sometimes augmented by a nice person blowing through a tube to keep the wood burning well.
Can’t find any photos of exactly what I’m thinking of, but this comes close:

Here is a commercial version that is close to what I am thinking of:

@dono1
You realize that’s only one fat guy (264 lbs) per stool, right?
Ugh. The issue isn’t with the barstools being able to bare the weight, thereibrokei… the issue is with the stools not sinking into the ground, thereby destabalizing everything.
As for being Photoshoped… what is obvious about it? What part is photoshopped in? In the front right, you have a towel-clad chick with wet hair that has quite possibly already been in the ‘hot tub’. The two guys currently in the ‘hot tub’ are glistening and wet. The bottom of the tub is clearly scortched and covered with soot, and the flames wrap around it quite amazingly.
What I was going to say before reading all these stupid comments was “damn, is anyone else reminded of Bugs Bunny?”
Don’t forget to post the followup photo.
Not buying the photoshop. Wrought-Iron stools are REAL strong. Probably large round flat feet on solid ground.
PS: It’s not cast iron, its porcelain over steel. Somewhat lighter.
Though the rectangular spot on the side of the tub might resemble a sloppy “photoshopping” job, that makes NO sense in comparison to the rest of the image: If it was a fake/edited image, then the artist is one h*ll of a graphic manipulator to achieve such consistency and convincing nuance. To think someone with that kind of skill would leave a blatant error is illogical. All that aside, it is IMPOSSIBLE to definitively say whether it is edited looking at a 357x500pixel image.
Is it just me, or is the guy on the right checking out the other guy’s package?
First, it is the fire that I believe is photoshopped, not necessarily the guys in the tub. The rectangle, first of all, is suspicious.
Second, it COULD be that there was a fire there, but I do not believe it was that high. A little flame could scorch the bottom and sides, but a flame like that would make any surface of that tub without water contacting it dangerous to the touch.
Actually Mikey Cav, that’s the only theory I could buy – that everything happened like that except the flames were lower, and that the deep blazing fire has been photoshopped in.
Gay marriage ritual?
You guys missed the obvious. Why was this picture not taken
minutes earlier when the girl to the right who is wrapped in
a towel without a bikini top was sitting in it.
Drunk gays
My brother has a set-up lke this in his garden except the bath is mounted on bricks. You just put a heavy hard-wood frame at the bottom of the bath so you don’t get burnt. It’s great fun to sit in on a summer or even a winter evening and a lot cheaper than a jacuzzi.
It looks to me like it is a fiberglass tub, not porcelain or steel. Note how the edges are formed. If so, this will be producing lovely toxic gases in addition to boiling the occupants. So, hopefully they will die of asphyxiation long before they die from burning to death.
@Kagura fiberglass… and that fire is a bunch of little sticks. The tub is wider than the fire and there are little flames going up the sides
Thats not photo shopped. Thats a ceramic tub that has had its casing remove. and the rectangle is the closed off jets port for if i had been installed normally. Explains why the guy’s hindquarters aren’t gone from melting to a steel tub. and that makes this picture awesome
It does not need to be photoshopped. The tub will not melt as long as there’s any water left. To demonstrate this, try filling a paper envelope with water and then holding a flame under it. The flame will not burn the paper, because the water absorbs the heat and prevents the paper from heating beyond a 100 degrees celcius. The same happens with the tub, but of coures 100 degrees is still enough to cause burns.
The fire is not what it seems. It looks like they’re using hot rocks to carry the heat. That’s an old technique for saunas and sweat lodges. Then they’re having fun burning things on top of the hot rocks, but those bright yellow flames are actually pretty cool. Probably somebody squirted some lighter fluid on there just before they snapped the picture. Truly hot fires have blue or invisible flames.
Yes on the paper envelope and water stuff – that works. It is likely not a fiberglass tub – it sould have distorted from the weight at the corners.
Only problem I can see is not enough scorched ground around the fire. Ever build a campfire or small bonfire? That grass under the stools would have been gone with that sized flame.
And, just how do they get in the tub?
same thing I was wondering, just how do they get in without burning their toes? Do they use stools?
it looks real to me. My bet would be that the fire isnt normally raging like that. for the picture they prob put some lighter fluid or something of that nature to make the fire higher.
That look like a very good soup. (-:
I want to know what kind of lotion is in that red bottle, looks like maybe bubble bath. Red Neck Gay Marriage Ritual now that’s funny.
Alcohol…lots of alcohol…
@Luke
Any prank like this has to be Aussies!
And weren’t some old tubs made of lead? Hot molten lead doesn’t sound like fun to me. : S @Spectre514
I’ve done this – if you put some ~1 inch thick boards on the bottom, you don’t get burned. Just DON’T let the boards move when you shift positions. I was staff at a camp with no electricity (in New Hampshire, USA) for the summer.
The tub was metal, and it took a LONG time for the water to get hot. I had a bucket of cold water there to add when it got too hot. If you wanted to take a hot bath, that was the only way.
and what is the numeric equivalent of FAIL?
looks pretty real to me hater.
Um…in regards to a comment about how this is like a Japanese hot bath… er, no. I’ve never been to an onsen, but I’ve seen pictures (in manga, of course!) and they definitely don’t look like this. I think they use a hypocaustic heating thing…where the heat comes from the floor… or, as in Spirited Away, you just yank on the cord and Kamajii sends down the hot water from the boiler room. And yes, I have no life.
And Polish beer “Tatra” for the bathtub
Poland.3 kind of polish beer Lech(green) Tatra (yellow) Żywiec (white)on the Table
man in the blue hat : hey git your toe out my ass ……
I saw a rig like this once, but the tub was plumbed to an old car radiator propped over a fire. This one really needs a bunch of guys dancing around it waving spears.
Now we add some celery and a hint of salt…
Coming to a redneck wedding near you.
I think I saw this on an episode of Bugs Bunny once… Yosemite Sam shoots out the fire with his six-gun while aiming for Bugs in the tub… oh, sorry for giving it away!
Those boys are crazy!
I’d rather spend time in a real 2 Person Hot Tub. That would make more sense.
“sooo… what kind of soup you said it is you’re making?”
Honey, we’re short again on money this month for food, tell all your friends we’re having hot tub party at our house, and it’s BYOB.
I’m guessing they would have to continuously move around, as any area where there’s no water between tub and skin would superheat superquick.
As to photoshop – the flames are reflected in the stool legs as well as in the towel held by the girl on the far side. The square patch is probably from a sticker during manufacturing or something. And, as it’s been established this is presumably in Poland, I’m guessing this is a (lightweight) plate-steel tub, as we have them in (Western) Europe as well.
That said, it would be easy to take two images – one with the guys, and one with the flaming blaze, and transpose the guys onto the latter photo…
Intriguing photo. Love this site!

This will only end in tears. 3rd degree burns, awkwardness, and tears.
I have a friend who has one of these in his yard. Really. And yes, he uses it. Really. And yes, he lives in Alabama. Really.
it’s all fun and games until some drunken onlooker finds the gas can.
No worries! I found the salt!
That would be Avon bubble bath. It’s a pretty distinctive bottle and makes me believe that this is a legit photo. Between the scorch marks on the tub exterior and all the perfect reflections, I can’t help but think the reason for the ‘photoshop rectangle’ is that some kind of label or text was edited out by an amateur.
It wouldn’t shock me at all if this is some foreign ‘enjoy responsibly’ type ad. Everything is real, but they had to remove some kind of distinctive text so the picture could stand on it’s own.
HOLY SH*T. I THOUGHT THAT NEW TV COMMERCIAL WAS JUST BULLOCKS. srsly, they just had this in a commercial for an insurance company, can;t remeber which one, but I saw it tonite.
Redneck Stew – just add vegetables…oh wait…they are already in there!
Is this a scene that was deleted from Brokeback Mountain? In response to the “Perfect Rectangle” on the side of the tub, it looks like a piece of wood that was screwed in to make a handle. Just an opinion…
Double double, toil and trouble, fire burn and dickheads bubble…
Chet’s nuts roasting on an open fiiiirrre…..
I am pretty sure I saw something like this in a Bugs bunny episode.
now how exactly does it make bubbles?
“Mmmmmm this is very nice. Hey! Does anyone smell cooking?”
Cannibal cook-out or sterilizing the gene pool?
Cannibal magnet…
Shall I go get the pepper?
so thats were they got the hillbilly hot tub for that commercial
I’m guessing from the facial expressions that a bet was involved.
This will all end in tears… and you have nobody to blame but yourselves.
What kind of beer is that?
Note the alcohol present.
Poland!!! again! this must be my lucky day
I am the person that submitted this photo (but it is not mine). The reason there is a rectangle on the tub is because someone put an URL on the photo, and I simply blocked it out.
i wonder if they are both naked hmmmm
Haha ITS POLAND again i think most of pics here are from Poland
P Wiem to po puszce lecha :] And its not gay cuz the girl is waiting to jump in ;D
