Quadruple Facepalm

This is said to be performed by having your friend place both his palms on your hands, then performing a double facepalm. It takes practice and careful coordination to perform properly.

Not much else is known about the elusive quadruple facepalm, other than it killed it's creator: Hans Garfludeldorf (the same man who once constructed an entire castle out of duct-tape). He attempted to perform the quadruple facepalm without the aid of another person; he died from blunt trauma to the face. Since then, few have dared attempt the quadruple facepalm by themselves for fear of their lives.
Me and my friend saw this guy I know run up to an officer, stoned out of his mind and naked, and punch him in the face while screaming, "I wanna have your babies!". My friend and I performed the Quadruple Facepalm, because the guy failed so epically at life.

Facepalmtastic

1. When the best, or only, appropriate response to a situation is a facepalm from a third party, because words just cannot describe the full extent of thoughtlessness or idiocy as is evident.

2. When you see firsthand, or hear about, somebody doing something so stupid that you cannot imagine said person NOT facepalming themselves, so you facepalm out of pure sympathy.
This textbook is facepalmtastic because the publisher let the author get away with saying this:

"Cultural Studies insists that culture must be studied..."
