    5. mizurami says:

      Little history lesson for you people:
      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal

      The catering service has a elephant as logo, because that animal made Hannibal famous, he used to ride on a elephant

      • jason says:

        Cool, someone gets it. :)

      • max209 says:

        and still how is that a fail?

      • A-bomb says:

        i believe the person who posted this seen silence of the lambs, however didnt learn anything in history lol. yes hannibal did ride an elephant, in fact. on his march to rome on their last elephant, i cant remember its name… he was stung in the eye by an insect and blinded in his left eye with a blueish tint permanetly in it. epic geek historian win on my part

      • Wilzyax says:

        A-bomb thats not greek Hannibal was Pheonocian or as the Romans called them Punic not Greek nub

    6. Ilya A says:

      MORE LIKE LACK OF EDUCATION ON PART OF EPICFAIL.COM’S READERS.

      • Gothapotamus Hunter says:

        Your poor grammar and punctuation are more indicitive of a failure. Don’t insult the intelligence of others when you have very little of your own!

        You sir, have become a FAIL!

      • jim says:

        Gothapotamus Hunter – GG BOSS for 3 lines of needless flame. Where exactly has Ilya A failed so much?

        Failing on a fail of a fail comment is complete failure.
        Fail @ photos and videos, not comments.

      • lolfail says:

        I see no grammatical errors in the first posters comment, bar caps lock. Fail @ trying to sound smart.

    7. Gothapotamus Hunter says:

      I think most of us got the Hannibal-Elephant reference, I just don’t get why someone would think it’s a fail?

      Educate me, please. What is the fail here?

      • JJ says:

        I thought this was crazy because I know the current owner. But the origianl owner did it because of Hannibal the Great and elephant he rode, so it was done on purpose. Funny thing is they are one of the biggest caterers in Sacramento. Epic fail I love you but do some research before you talk shit.

      • TomAss says:

        perhaps the poster thought of hannibal lecter? i dont know

      • jason says:

        Definitely thought of Lecter. But that’s funny you know the original owner. I don’t have enough time to look into this, but glad you enjoy the site!

      • UGLYASNlGGER says:

        Its still a fail because Hannibal was actually a horrible general who only won 1 battle killed half his army on a foolish path choice and then spent 13 years trying to conquer Rome and wasting his resources on elephants that never even helped him and could of gave him more troops, not only that also during he never even came close to Rome in the 13 years he spent trying to conquer it. Then when he left to defend Carthage he finally used his elephants and they didn’t even kill a single Roman and then his forces were slaughtered by Scipio’s force and they say he copied his tactic but all he did was move his forces out of the way of the elephants and he is only glorified because the historian who wrote about him was bribed by Scipio’s family to make him look good and he says he had accounts from Hannibal’s soldiers when it was written 70 years after it happened when the life expectancy in that time was 50. So the question is why would Scipio’s family bribe him to make Hannibal look good? Well the answer is How do you make yourself look great and skilled, make the one you beat look great and skilled so the fail hers is that you named a business after a failure general and psychopath who tortured his own troops. So that is why it is an epic fail.

      wow, there an teds bakery by me, must be something to do with ted bundy, seeing as they got the same names, its just gotta be connected somehow

      • hahahahahaha!!!!111!!!one!!!1! says:

        LOL! Nicely put, Dave! ;) That was a win, lol…

        People who post crap like this amaze me… They obviously didn’t know there was a Hannibal other than Lecter, lol… What if someone who had the same name as you did something really stupid and embarrassed themselves in front of the world? Then is your name a fail? Lol… No, even though you might just be…

        Thank God for people like Dave and Hunter. You’re all we have left!

    9. Sliploose says:

      omfg..obviously one would tend to think that the food this dude is catering with would be made mostly from dead people..this is an extremely huge fail for a business name, who would even want to associate food with cannabalism?

      • 50SEVEN says:

        do you read any of the other comments before you post one? if you do, thats below a fail as your comment was uneducated by the obvious explanations listed above.

    10. ZeroZmm says:

      umm..yea s they thought hannibal goes with the elephant..and thats cool..
      but really the fail is the Lecter thingy..
      go cannibalism..XP

    11. releaseafacation says:

      i get it now wow thats like really messed up

      • A-bomb says:

        absolutely retarted, dont never post ” oh i got it ” on a fail site, you will be fucked with, ill start you off with the first epic fail on your part

    12. 50SEVEN says:

      i get the meaning, but honestly it doesn’t fit. The name refers to the famous Carthagen(spelling unsure of) who fought the Romans in the second punic war, aka-the hanibalic war. The elephant, as mentioned in a separate comment, is an African elephant used mainly as transportation by the Carthagenian(spelling unsure of) who travled through Spain and France in an effort to attack Rome from behind. This however FAILed, so unless the fail here refers to the timbit of history, then however it is you who posted this as a fail.

    13. Kannoff says:

      This is an absolute Fail Fail.

    14. WTF DMFN says:

      YOu should’nt have to read so far into it….thats FAIL!

    15. Wilzyax says:

      actually it kinda could be a fail cuz Hannibal died from poison

    16. shadowofwar007 says:

      Wow, whoever posted this picture FAILS!!! The catering business relates to the Carthaginian military general Hannibal. The logo is an elephant because the general used war elephants to win his wars. Also, that catering business opened up YEARS BEFORE the movie “Hannibal” was created. STEPHANIE P EPICALLY FAILS!!!

      • UGLYASNlGGER says:

        he didn’t win he lost horribly and he lost because of the elephants and it is a fail because he was a horrible general that killed half his army crossing the Alps when he could have fought the army blocking the path.

    17. like really? says:

      for you slow people out there,hannibal was a serial killer that ate people..they called him hannibal the cannibal. So that being… so instead it might talking about catering people. gahhh dog.

    18. shikigami says:

    19. MMM says:

      “what kind of food do you serve?”,…”The kind most societies look down upon.”,…”Like snails?…”

    20. Nicholas says:

      looks more than human food

    21. Hunter067 says:
