You fail it
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
From the dawn of time, there have been winners and losers. And it has been the sole responsibility of those who win, to point out to the loser, just how much they suck.
Hence the creation of the "YOU FAIL IT" meme.
Essentially, the format goes like this: "YOU FAIL IT (it is ____)." A common and easy substitute for the blank is simply life, implying that the target lacks the skills necessary to deserve being spared from shipment to Auschwitz, post-haste. Of course, other failures can be substituted as the poster feels appropriate. A more severe form is known as epic fail.
When you fail, Oh Yeah by Yello is played in the background. Chic. Chic-chicachicaaah. The meme originates in the arcade game Blazing Star.
