Line 282:
* ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'': When Kirby gets Bomb ability, he immediately pulls one out. Forget to throw it immediately? Boom.
* From ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'', we have...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NysMwcSG648 this].
* ''[[Rooster Teeth]]'' has a weekly series called ''[http://roosterteeth.com/archive/?sid=fails Fails of the Weak]{{Dead link}}'' which is a compiliation of the most epic failures ever captured on video for ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.
** Special mention must go to PR Punk Skater, who was apparently [[Boom! Headshot!|headshot]] by ''God'' in volume 34.
** Similarly, [http://www.youtube.com/user/GameFails GameFails] charts epic fails from all over the gaming world.
Line 328:
** Then there are [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2002/04/08/episode-136-double-black-belt-trouble/ both] of Black Belt's [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/07/03/episode-303-in-case-you-were-wondering-about-them/ memorable] attempts to find the bathroom.
** With all these examples, it's pretty safe to say that ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]'' could alternatively be titled ''Epic Failure: The Webcomic''.
* Aaron Williams' ''[[Full Frontal Nerdity]]'' has, among other delightful slices of Gamer Life and other nerd instances, the occasional example of truly epic fail for the everyman. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100724154311/http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/ffn/index.php?date=2010-03-10 This] is a decent example of how bad this guy can roll. He has also jinxed a die so badly it infected other d20 with the "1" virus, rolled a "1" when it was buried, and started making "1" show up everywhere. Further, Williams even has a collection of Nerdity out titled the ''Big Book of Epic Fail''.
* From ''[[Johnny Wander]]'': What do [http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/62 trying to roast garlic] and [http://www.johnnywander.com/comics/50 drying peppers] in the oven have in common besides the obvious? This. They even [[Lampshade Hanging|refer to the second incident]] as making homemade mace.
* Matt from ''[[Murphy's Law (webcomic)|Murphy's Law]]'' did this on his Test of Hidden Traps.
Line 360:
** Amusingly, a lot of the contributors fail at understanding the concept of a fail, instead posting situations that are merely ironic or even triumphant. They've rectified that by designating some things Win or even Epic Win.
** There's also [http://learnfrommyfail.failblog.org/ Learn From My Fail], dedicated to [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|oddly specific]] advice on situations from the mundane to the downright bizarre.
* Sean Fausz, a member of [[That Guy With The Glasses]], has a whole online series of videos dedicated to various Epic Fails. You can watch them [
* The blog [http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com Cake Wrecks] features these.
* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' invokes this in the case of Church's time travel excursion. In his attempts to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong|better the timeline]], he ends up causing everything to go wrong. As he tries desperately, and fails miserably, to shoot Donut he sums it up fairly well:
Line 430:
** In "Band Geeks", Squidward tells the flag-twirlers to speed it up, which then leads to their flags acting like propellers, sending them up hundreds of feet and crash into a blimp, [[Made of Explodium|which then explodes]], followed by another band member playing Taps (poorly) and Squidward quietly going into the [[Troubled Fetal Position]].
* In "Le Big Switch" Krabs exchanges Spongebob for a french chef from a high quality restaurant during an exchange program in hopes that customer demand for fine expensive food will increase his profits. Things don't go well for Spongebob in his new surroundings initially since [[SpongeBob]] is quite literally incapable of cooking anything but Krabby Patties, to the degree where he can't even fry an egg without it instantly transforming into a burger. However his epic fail becomes an [[Epic Win]] when both his boss and his rich clientele both enjoy his Krabby Patties so much they literally latch onto his ankles begging him not to go back to the Krusty Krab after the exchange ends.
* In ''[[The Jetsons]]'', George and Jane once left their kids home alone for an extended period of time and Judy tried to serve ice cream. She burned it. She didn't ''melt'' the ice cream, she ''burned it'' without melting it, which is not actually impossible especially since sugar is highly combustible [
* In ''the very first'' ''[[Transformers]]'' episode, [[The Starscream|Starscream]] shoots at the stasis locked Autobots... and revives them. [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Oops.]] He goes on to make a long, long career in Epic Fail after that.
* During a tap contest in ''[[South Park]]'', Butters loses one of his shoes onstage, unleashing [[Disaster Dominoes]] that end up destroying the stage and killing over a dozen audience members, traumatizing him.<ref>As Stan later informs him, this was ''even worse'' than it seems because a woman killed was pregnant and two family members of victims committed suicide.</ref> After getting over it and entering another contest, this becomes an epic win as the same thing happens, this time killing his opponents (and retraumatizing him).
