Volume 1 thumbnail

Fails of the Weak was a weekly video where (originally starring) Geoff Ramsey and Jack Pattillo go over a selection of fails sent in by community members from the game Halo. It debuted on September 22, 2010.

However, starting on Volume 200, Fails of the Weak combined with Game Fails, ending a strictly Halo based fails series. Fails of the Weak replaced the weekly Recap which was formerly on the Game Fails channel.

It started off as the reverse of a top 10 list of Halo game clips where instead of showing people being great at the game, showed people failing in a funny way. The show was mainly Jack and Geoff just laughing at the endless amount of clips people have made in the game. Later on, the show included other games to be featured in the video. Geoff’s cancer curing laugh was always a treat whenever it appears on the show.

Geoff and Jack announced their "retirement" from the show in Volume 275. This was in order to allow more diversity of hosts to the series, though they still continue to make appearances.

Fails of the Week was cancelled and ended, and as a result, moved to the Retired Shows section of the Achievement Hunter website after episode 295 on May 13, 2016, seemingly to be replaced by the 3 daily fails on the GameFails YouTube channel.[1]
