A guy sets off his car alarm and airbag by accident when rocking out to Bohemian Rhapsody [SLYT].

I'm rather impressed with the sound that CCTV cameras have nowadays.

I am impressed that whoever was working the remote on the camera obviously suspected some CRAZY SHIT was about to happen and so carefully framed it and zoomed in so we could get a better look.

Funny idea. Poorly staged though.
What I really want to see is footage from inside the car of some idiot showing off his new "Bass Shaker" sound system to his friend with a handheld, and the exact same thing happens.
Could someone with too much time on their hands get on that?

This guy is totally the British/wrong side of the road driving version of Wayne Campbell. I wonder if he has an extensive collection of name tags and hairnets.

And the airbag/alarm went off right in time with the music, and the alarm isn't as muffled as the music.
Besides, he was listening to Queen. There's no way you could set an alarm off with that.

Yeah, it kinda loses the humor value when (a) the poster tells you the punchline ahead of time (sorry, rageagainsttherobots), and (b) it's obvious from the first moment of the video (sound on a security camera?) that it's fake.
This is my favorite "fail" video of late.

That's totally what my dog would do if assigned to police duty.

Good call. I didn't think about that before posting.

God help me, I knew what was coming, and once the footage started it was clearly faked, but neither of those things stopped me from snortleing.

Ooh ooh
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)

I would have gone with Yakety Sax rather than The Merry Go Round Broke Down in that Police Dog Fail video, but I admit it's probably more personal taste than anything else.
