About

"Co za asy" is a Polish phrase and video comment posted by YouTube user MrMal on a FAILblog video and later popularized through a webisode by YouTube personality Ray William Johnson. The phrase is roughly translated into "What an ace…" in English, though in the context of FAILblog video, it is likely the comment was written in sarcasm.

RWJ Webisodes

Ray William Johnson reviewed the FAIL video in his Feb. 24th webisode Get a Job and noted it was a video originally from Poland due to prevalence of comments in Polish. He then followed up by trying his best to pronounce them and then finally came to a comment by MrMal that read "Co za asy…". Since then, it has been seen around on a number of other videos' comments and is usually the depiction of a fail. When someone does something stupid or something ridiculously dangerous, but people either miraculously survive or get really hurt; however, never killed.
