I believe that's TWO "fail(s)" ....
... is it not?
"two big two fails" I cannot find listed as an idiom, colloquialism, or "common expression".

A homophonic word conversion is required to find the answer to this very popular phrase. The answer is heard exactly as written when read aloud.
A different example: eye C U
Eye is homophone of I
C is homophonic with See (and sea)
U is homophonic with You (and ewe)
"I see you." Hope that helps

I think this is excellent! The word TWO is big and there are 2 'fails' = too big to fail! haha!
uuuhhhh .....
Marple & Zykezex ....
I think you both need to check your spectacle prescription.
My issue was never with the homophonic connection.
It's with the failure of number agreement between adjective and noun.
If I see a pair of Chihuahuas in my front yard I would NOT say ....
"Hey, look at the two dog".
The body of your Rebus teaser says ...
(reading homophonically) ....
"Too big two fails" (you have the word "fail" twice in the body).
And ... as I said earlier ....
I cannot locate a reference for "Too big two fails" anywhere as a common, idiomatic, or colloquial expression (as is required to make this a Rebus teaser).
And .... Zykezex ... what's with the winky-winky emoticon?
Does that mean ... "just kidding" ....
... "don't take this seriously" ... or ... "what" ???

Little green man - get over yourself you stupid moron.
oooooo .... marple
touchy, touchy, ehh ... ??
Anyway, I find that calling somebody a "stupid moron" to be quite offensive.
So I clicked you.
Besides ... you really don't have any issue with me.
I think you're just PO'd because you screwed up and got caught.

Haha! You throw a girly fit over the word moron? What are you about 4? Man up Little Green Man! THis is supposed to be a fun website for people to compile teasers for others to enjoy. If you want to give a lecture about the idiosyncrasies of the English language then perhaps you should buy yourself a soap box. Lol! Grow up!
Hey, y'all .... guess whot??
Zykezex (sp..sorry) got this posted on the 18th of Feb and it went for DAYS with ZERO comments.
Now it's got eight.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
It's a very good teaser and deserves more comments and a much better rating.
AND .... we betcha there's been a BUNCH of "silent cruisers" reading this stuff and not bothering to take the time to participate.
Ah, well. It's a good start, anyway.
More later .....
