    I like how the washers are in different phases of their cycle.

  2. Peggy says:

    I wonder how many idiots will try to use the faux washers/dryers and then get disgruntled because they can’t . . . .

  3. Knusper says:

    This is simply trippy.. WTF!

    • Fluffy says:

      I’m actually disappointed. What’s the point in taking acid and watching the dryer if it doesn’t rotate?

      • Anna Rexia says:

        I think the point of dropping acid would be so the dryers do rotate. And melt. And morph into other objects.

      • Anonymous says:

        Well, if you had dropped acid before looking at them, you wouldn’t have posted that.

        You would have spent the next hour staring in amazement at both sets of washers, and would have visual hallucinations of the sounds of the other dryers spinning turning into vivid colors, swirling through the room. Finally, when someone walks up to you and says “hey kid, are you ok? You’ve been standing there staring at the wall for hours”, you would have thought it was the funniest thing you ever hear, laughed until you cried, and then run out the door to follow the dragon you just saw run down the street. Hopefully your friends are with you, so they can tell you later about the city bus you chased 10 blocks while screaming “Hey dragon! Slow down dragon!”, and when it finally stopped, you freaked out when it opened it’s “mouth”, which was actually just the door.

        Ya… it’s amazing what the world can become, when your perception of reality changes just a little bit.

    The young entrepreneur had high hopes for the laundromat that took all of his savings to purchase. When over half of his equipment failed, however, he had no money left for repairs. The business quickly became a wash.

  5. dono1 says:

    So THAT’S how dry cleaning works.

  6. treborx says:

    This is where I go to wash my fantasy football league uniform

  7. pet rock says:

    Virtual Washers – it’s what’s new in laundromats.

  8. PikminGod says:

    The sad part is that they ran out of money before they could buy the paint for the buttons…

  9. Grammar King says:

    The Aperture Science Clothes Cleaning Device are able to create a portal, much like the Aperture Science Hand Held Portal Device. However, these portals are for putting clothes in, not people.

    Potential Side effects of a person going through an Aperture Science Clothes Cleaning Device’s portal are as follows:

    Burning, loss of teeth, Smiling evilly, singing ABC’s, death, and regardless of side effects, a bad marking on your employee report.

  10. dono1 says:

    That’s taking the mysterious disappearing sock phenomenon to a whole new level.

  11. ReverendTed says:

    Of course, the Road Runner won’t have any problems at all loading his laundry into one, befuddling ol’ Wile E. Coyote.

    • Usoki says:

      So much win! This is much funnier than any Portal reference…

    • anodean says:

      And if poor old Wile E. does take off his fur suit and put it in there, he will not get it back. Wile E. will spend the rest of the cartoon in long-johns, being further taunted by the spiffy-clean Roadrunner as they become soiled and singed. I hated that bird. I always hoped the coyote got him.

  12. Sophie says:

    THE CAKE IS A LIE.

  13. blah says:

    I don’t get the title. >_>

    It’s just a reflection in the functional washers. The painted “washers” are amusing though. Hardly looks like portals to me.

  14. Scooter says:

    Welcome to the Les Nesman Laundromat!
    These are where dryers will someday be.
    OOOOOOHHHHHHH!

  15. another Josh says:

    The washer is a lie.

    (sorry, with that title to the post, it had to be said)

  16. dono1 says:

    This is virtually the largest laundromat in town.

  17. dono1 says:

    My guess is the ones on the right were drawn with a Magic Marker.

  18. ReverendTed says:

    Someone really needs to increase their detail draw distance.

  19. PortalFan101 says:

    I dont understand how this relates to portal!
    The cake is a brownie

  20. slapch0p says:

    A shameful example of just how far we have yet to go in this country to achieve equality. Unseen are the signs above these washers. On the right, over the real washers, the sign reads “NORMAL.” Above the faux washers, (in the back of course,) the sign reads “MIMES ONLY,” where persucuted, clown-faced mimes wearily load imaginary clothes from imaginary baskets into imaginary washers.
    I, for one will be glad when we no longer tolerate segregated laundry mats in this country.

    • slapch0p says:

      Texas Dan, sorry, didn’t see your original post. BTW I actually hate mimes as much as anyone!
      Yes, I’m a blatant mimist!

    • Maxi says:

      Mimes are no different than you our I. They care whether their dryers are hot just like the next guy– but they can’t whine about it. Did you think when they made those hand-prints that they were trying to get out of a one-sided invisible box?!?

  21. Sky Avian says:

    The most awesome thing about this site is probably the jokes/references/puns in the picture titles, a lot of pictures aren’t really funny without them and most of the time those crack me up way more than the pictures themselves anyway XD
    Portals ftw

  22. dom says:

    the dryers on the left are slower and hold fewer clothes but they require zero maintenance and have zero running costs. It’s a question of pros and cons

  23. TOPCTEH says:

    All new: The Yin-Yang-Washers! Washing more yin or more yang out of your laundry just as you like!

  24. Dogmeat says:

    Contrary to what you have read or heard and been persuaded to believe, there are some situations where having an online art degree can’t truly help you.

  25. Chris says:

    What a way to make the whole place look a little roomier.

  26. ashiiya says:

    haha this is hilarious xD I’d like to find this place, sit there and just look at it and see in person how amusing it is xP

  27. fixeditfan says:

    I’m guessing this is an attempt to avoid graffiti?

  28. Blah. says:

    Hey, I was just playing Portal…

  29. Skud says:

    Quick Holly put the Spike of Destiny BACK!!!!

  30. ardy says:

    Those are dryers, not washers, and they are in Pampa, TX. Actually, it’s a rather nice, clean laundrette. (If you’d like to see a real fail, try the “laundrette” in Shamrock, TX, which smells like a sewer during every rinse cycle, and which has about two working dryers.)

    There are two more real, functioning dryers on the other side of the ones above (out of the left frame of the photo). Personally, I think a mural always does something nice for a public space, but that’s just me. =)

  31. Pirate says:

    I don’t get it. It’s fake washers. Nothing funny about that.

  32. Pirate says:

    Aaand it turns out teletype doesn’t work.

  33. Kevin says:

    Part laundromat, part avant garde art museum…where else can you observe the life of a cell AND wash your unmentionables?

  34. timothy says:

    these are not epic fails:) these are failed fails
