very impressed with the Mitch Hedberg reference.
Escalator now temporarily wall, sorry for the convenience?
An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. haha
wow, this must be the other side of the wall esculator from the fail on failblog last summer… its taken all this time for someone to get around to the other side. this women must be a mummy
Nothing. He’s dead.
Tactless, yet hilarious comment FTW
Death comment FTW
Oh! Look! They’ve updated the entrance to platform 9 3/4!
dammit, beat me to the HP refrence.
This comment wins.
I love you Tiani.
Just makes me wonder what they now use to transport the students to school. A Zeppeline?
Touche…
:/
Likely just closed for construction or maintenance…
The bootleg way to get into Hogwarts.
“I like an escalator because an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. There would never be an ‘Escalator Out of Order’ sign. Only an ‘Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.’” ~MH
Actually, that’s not entirely true. An escalator can collapse (as happened at Tokyo Big Sight a couple of years ago), or it can stop short (as happened on the 14th to the Selena Gomez fans).
Shaddddupppp
Or it could have a wall in the way.
But, no one gives a damn about Selena Gomez.
“….and she’s climbing….the stairway….to Hedberg…”
And she’s riding the stairway to the hospital…
The escalator didn’t break or become stairs. I’m impressed.
Don’t ride this one after too many Harvey Wallbangers.
it’s actually a hologram of a wall, and ya just gotta have faith…. clunk! never mind.
he would think nothing… since he’s dead.

RIP Mitch… you will be missed!
Thank you for the post, I totally agree!
Brewski,
You’re wrong about escalators never breaking. Ever so often, the mechanics need to take the steps apart, replace casters, bearings, motor parts, etc. as well as lubercate the moving parts. I’ve seen it being done.
HUMOUR.
Do you understand it?
The internet is incapable of understanding said concept.
Yikes, thanks! I actually couldn’t remember the joke this was a reference to. Clearly it’s time for me to listen to some classic Mitch again.
Your wrong, Ive gotten stuck on the escalator, I was on it for three and a half hours.
I bet that you study for blood and urine tests, too.
What WOULD Mitch Hedberg think?
The smae as Lenny Bruce. Nothing.
Stairway to nowhere.
Hmm.
Well, that’s strange.
It was found inside a Zen monastery.
The escalator on the right was to help them meditate on the question: What is the sound of one escalator going nowhere? Answer: *thud* Oww!!
The escalator on the left helped them meditate on the question: If one falls down an escalator going up, will one ever reach the bottom? Answer: Oof! Ouch! Doh! Erk! Ow! Help! Arrgh! Ohh! Yowee!…(or in other words, To Be Determined)
I think what makes this all the funnier is that the lady goes on the escalator anyway. Should have gone to Specsavers!
She’s posing for the picture. The escalator is not moving.
haha, referencing his “An escalator can never be broke, it will just become stairs” joke. I love the Mitch reference
“… And pineapple is next!” Long Live Mitch <3
Mitch FTW!
That has got to be the DUMBEST chic on the planet!!
Someone put an escalator leading up to a wall and you think the person riding it is the stupidest one?
No, no—AKA Mr. Bill means “chic” as in, “in vogue.” And I agree, when I go shopping, I think some styles are pretty dumb, too… especially this trend in new malls, where the escalator takes you into a wall, and the elevator only goes out to the parking garage. I mean, how is a person even supposed to get upstairs to the sales at Macy’s??
Ever been to Filenes’ ? ‘Where bargains were born.’
Basement sales are now on the second floor.
Maybe she has bad eyesight? Or she was walking by, and just happened to accidentally step on it, and now is stuck?
We miss you Mitch
Waaait. Wall… who PUT this here?
Someone should paint a doorway at the top
EscaSeeYouLater.
Its the Narnia escalator.
REJECTION by the escalator to heaven. Sorry but you’ll have to take the other escalator heading down…
I see someone took Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Life is a journey…” statement quite literally.
Mall and casino designers realize that the longer a person stays in the building, the more money they are likely to spend. Good luck trying to find the real exit.
Quick, someone make a pitcher of Kool-Aid!
OH YEAAAAH!
“Ohh Yea!”
“Ohh No! What have i done to this beautiful home”
“My dad is not going to believe a giant bowl of punch came crashing through the wall”
~Dane Cook
My dad is going to beat me with a toaster!
It may not give you the quickest results but it’s a lot easier of a workout than using the StairMaster.
That is just as that Harry Potter railway 9 3/4, but with worser carmoflage!^^
Worser? Hi, I’d like to introduce you to AKA Mr. Bill. I think you would make a lovely couple.
‘sigh’ Hogwarts just isn’t trying anymore…
It’s like Harry Potter
A secret portal to a porn store is there 
All the good perverts know that 
Every time someone hits their head into the ceiling an evil laugh cackles from the PA system.
The first thing I noticed was the knee-high nylons and capri pants. Although they are rather short for capris and too long for shorts.
Yes I am the fashion police.
As most of you MH fans have probably already assumed that she has a receipt for a donut in her clutch
i bet she feels like she isnt going anywhere. :/
It seems like the Escalator to Heaven was closed for maintenance. The Stairway she will have to take. (If she can find it)
He’d tell the escalator to go around, because he cannot open the wall. It’s just flat.
for the person in ahurry to go nowhere
Oh, this is about escalators. Sorry, but I couldn’t get past the idea of someone wearing calf-high stockings in a short skirt.
To help new members feel more familiar with the fitness training equipment, the fitness center converted their down escalator into a treadmill. Anyone who wants to go back down to the lower level must use the stairs.
“I’d have one long staircase leading upstairs,
and one even longer going down…
and a third one leading nowhere, just for show.”
— Tevye, “Fiddler on the Roof”
Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience. Stairs don’t lead anywhere, sorry for the inconvenience.
I hate to ruin the fun, but how is this a kludge? This is pure fail.
Where is the kludge? Maybe the shaving border in the middle of the calf?
Free escalator, some assmbly required. (?)
Finally, years after Harry Potter had retired, kings cross station had implemented easier access to platform 9 3/4 to accomodate the growing number of obese young wizards unable to cross the wall at a run.
It’s taken from a clever camera angle. What you can’t see is the sudden sharp drop between the wall and the end of the escalator.
So you get on thinking “haha this will make a funny Facebook photo” and then you realise you’re about to fall to your doom, but by then it’s too late and now a case of “can I out-run the escalator?”.
That’s going to give me nightmares now …
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned the fashion fail…nylon knee-highs with an above the knee skirt?
I think yours is the fourth fashion fail comment. What Not to Wear would be proud.
“It’s a peasant skirt!”
“No, it’s a curtain.”
It’s “Stairway to Heaven” for atheists!
Yup. This more of a WTF then a Kludge
No no no. This is all wrong. Why would she wear her calf sweat band? She’s never going to get a good workout here. These new age stairmasters are absolute crap.
It’s the escalator to nowhere.
And to your left, you can see the Springfield Monorail.
This isn’t funny at all- it seems that the escalator is still working, and with a total lack of safety measures. I just realized her feet are gone! Here she is, waiting for help to arrive, and we’re mocking her. That’s a tourniquet on her calf, and the fool who took the picture certainly isn’t much help. Probably got on with flip-flops. Tragic.
Rest in Peace Mitch! Your humor lives on!
I thought the kludge here was a woman wearing pant-length nylons with a skirt. Oh, yeah – the escalator – I see now…
Awesome with Mitch Hedberg, RIP…
That MMD lol =D
Another comment, makes me sad that Mitch was so underrated, I’m glad there are the few who know true comedy… The comment made this picture… “Sorry for the convenience.”
He’d say, ” I love escalators, because they can never break down, only become stairs. In the one event that a wall is in your way I’d be wrong. Ha that joke wasn’t funny HaHa. Maannnnn one day there will be a wall on some escalator and you’ll think of this joke and then laugh… Take that future relativenism haHa this joke is done…” I think that’s what the great genius would say…
Wow! they DO just become stairs!
the red knob at the bottom will not restart the moving stair.
It’s all part of a grand reveal. There will be ribbon painted on the wall soon. When the store is ready to reveal the new department the wall be be knocked down and the escalator will become operable. It will be a home decorating department…
Or so I’m guessing.
RIP Mitch Hedberg. He was one funny guy!
It took me a second to get the fav comment LOL. my neighbor trying to get me to turn my music down so i like to mess with him, i say i can’t open the wall go around, i don’t know if you have a knob on yourside but on my side its just flat. Oh god I wish i had of discovered him while he was alive all the best comics die when I find them.
It’s like one of those mind illusion puzzles…
It’s just an illusions your seeing the ceiling…
This is the new entrance to Hogwarts express, they are making accommodations for the childhood obesity epidemic
Epic Win on the Mitch Hedberg reference.
And now we just wait until someone invents portal technology…
Oh look! its the Bridge to nowhere’s little brother!
