Failure isn’t always a bad thing. Without it, we wouldn’t learn, grow, or have nearly as many things to laugh at.
And if you need proof, just take a scroll through There Was An Attempt, the iconic subreddit dedicated to efforts that didn’t quite make it. It’s no stranger to Bored Panda, and for good reason—people keep failing in ways that are way too funny not to share.
So, enjoy this fresh batch of attempts that didn’t go as planned, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

What do you expect from a draft dodging disrespectful (to everyone, but especially veterans - RIP John McCain, 'loser prisoner of war') p.o.s?
Ole Bone Spurs. Got out of the draft and daddy paid for his degree. Has he ever succeeded in anything?

Check out Muskyboys military service record. He used Mommy's Canadian citizenship to evade South African military service.
What little respect, if any, that the US had left, went out the window that day.
B-but he wasn't v-very nice! H-he didn't say please and thankyou like a good little boy! It's ironic how the mighty EWE!ESS!HAY! have spent quadrillions of dollars and eighty years trying to oust dictators and install democratic governments in countries across the globe only to end up where they are today - funny how the "world's most powerful military force"🤣 get the b*****d living f**k kicked out of them by malnourished flipflop wearing peasants armed with hundred year old Soviet weapons and pointy sticks unless we come and do the wetwork for them. Dear reasonable americans: Please enforce a regime change. Please do not make us do it for you - we are not like you, we do not lose, we are not cowards, we do not run away from the fight. Ask the IRA how things worked out for them, even with you giving them weapons, money, asylum, and political support against us. Look what we did to the Argies when they got ideas above their station and tried to call the Falkland Islands by a s**c name. They were constantly supplied with weapons, missiles, fuel, ammunition, money and political support by the US govt, who tried to strongarm us in to letting another country take our sovereign territory and allow Great British citizens to be forced to speak a different language. The combined might of their army, navy and airforce were operating in their own back garden with all the luxuries you can imagine. Meanwhile, we knocked the cobwebs off a few old boats, hijacked a passenger ferry, and went to the far side of the planet to inflict old testament levels of violence on those who wronged us. Look how strong and healthy the fish in the South Atlantic are with all those nutrients and minerals. Look how lush, thick, and green the grass on Goose Green grows to this day from being drenched in so many gallons of liquid iron oxide. We do this because of some islands, but trump is endangering the entire planet. Please fix this before we are forced to do it for you, because it will not be pretty, and it won't be just us.
I know you know this, but the various regions in the U.S. can be so disparate. I live in Chicago, which is a bastion of blue (democrats) against a sea of red (republicans - the suburban, rural, and small towns) in the rest of our state. Also I’m sure you don’t remember it, but I once called you Steve not so sharp. Apologies.

By Elon Musk To Increase Congress Pay While Laying Off Tens Of Thousands
Each congress member gets paid the same in one MONTH what someone on social security gets paid in one YEAR! That means Bob, a paramedic who worked for 15 years at a private ambulance company and volunteered at his local fire department gets diagnosed with early onset Parkinson's disease and can't work. Bob has no choice but to get on disability, a program he's been paying into his entire working life. Bob is now paid less than $1400 a month. That's just under $17,000 a year. Every member of congress is currently paid $176,000 a YEAR. That means Bob's income for the entire YEAR equals close to the same as 1 MONTH of pay for each congress member. Read that again and give it a good think!

Thank you. When we're split into East America and West America after the next War, remember that there will alway be those of us fighting against the f*****t regime in an Underground.

Then, after about ten years, the fascists will go to war with the moderates, and lose badly.
It’ll be north and south again, at least from the east coast going to maybe the Mississippi River. The western states are probably red, and then there’s the blue west coast. I’m in Chicago. We’re a sanctuary city and Trump hates us. Much like in the first Civil War, the slave states have nothing but agriculture. The free states have infrastructure and manufacturing, plus Europe would support us.
I am so disgusted with the US right now (I am a US citizen). When will this horror show be over?
I don't know but the crippling depression and anxiety that were in remission are creeping back.

This sh¡t is literally destroying the United States. A very sad time for all the people who didn’t vote for their own destruction.
This sh1t is merely a symptom of the much larger problem that's been destroying the US for generations; namely, weaponised ignorance. It's been a long, slow, burn over time.

Can we NOT make the title of this page "49 Hilarious Attempts that Failed Spectacularly" and then just list a bunch of US government BS?
I am a US citizen. I have hope that our country can recover from this period of absolute stupidity that the orange crybaby jeebus and his MAGAt cult are inflicting upon us all. Some days I have my doubts though. Hopefully, we can sit back one day and laugh about all the dumpster fire Trumpistan years and his complete failure at everything. Then the original title would actually be very appropriate.

Ignoring all the tariffs and what's not, US is imploding. You are doing exactly what Russia wants.
PLEASE don't turn Bored Panda into yet another political-bashing app. Whether your bashing Democrats or Republicans, you're offending potentially half of your audience. Just keep it neutral and entertaining.
NONE of this drama is caused by the left. None of it. What you're reading here is a very normal reaction to the madness caused by the Trump administration. You do realize that many of the comments here are from people NOT in the US. Even they can recognize the insanity, because it is bleeding over into their own countries, as well. You guys f*cked up massively by putting that thing into office.
And your point is? If and when a government is doing the opposite of what it's people what that' a problem and needs to be discussed and that's what's happening here.
