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!

To Isolate & Belittle Ukraine. One Of Norway's Largest Marine Fuel Companies Just Announced That They Will No Longer Refuel Us Navy Vessels After Trump’s Treatment Of Zelensky
I believe that the whole free world should boycott the US, and I'm an American! tRump is the reincarnated hitlerrshitt, doing exactly the same thing as he did in 1938. So obvious and so shameful!
Big ups from this American. Donald Trump and the people that support him are disgusting for the absolute betrayal of our allies. I remember how America used to make fun of Italy for being wishy-washy about alliances. F**k this country I wanna be Canadian right now. this is not America anymore. I don't know if it can or should come back. But folks we are done. we are united in name only. Cold Civil War Jan. 20 2025- ?
And all the trump bootlicker lost their s**t because the thing they hate most are people with integrity and courage who remind them of what useless human garbage they are.
Nothing but respect for standing up to someone with the body of a full grown man, but with the mind of a petulant child. My hat goes off to Haltbakk Bunkers.
Rabid boars viciously mauling you to death with their bloody tusks are nicer than orange crybaby jeebus on his best day...unless you have sworn allegiance to the MAGAt cult and/or given him a couple hundred million to buy an election.
Good for them! I’m USAian, and I stand with the rest of the civilized world against Trump & Republicans.
Drumpf wanted out of NATO..looks like they no longer will need us and we'll be kicked out.
You mean Russia right? Get your alliances straight. We're at war with the horrible dictator in Ukraine. We've always been at war with Eastasia, sorry Ukraine.
Pretty sure it wasn't a Ukrainian sieg-heiling at the Republican convention, you numb f*ck.
Load More Replies...I can tell you've never been in a war or ran a country that is in one.
Load More Replies...Manny: Your comment is the perfect example as to why the rest of the world hates Trumpers. You will excuse, rationalize, or deny absolutely any and all wrongdoing by Trump. Trump and Vance's behavior at that meeting was a national embarrassment. Zelenskyy wasn't behaving like a spoiled brat, you idiot. He's behaving like a man who's tired of having his country and people bombed by a Russian dictator. Shame on you for defending Trump. Disgusting.
Hey Manny, if someone came knocking on your door and declared your kitchen is now their kitchen, would you let them have at it?

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!

To Hide Disgruntled Constituents
Town halls, by definition, are open to anyone who lives in the town. They aren’t meant to be political venues but are meant for those of the community to voice any issues they have. The fact that politicians have turned these community meetings into political events is the problem. The crisis is that they’ve now taken it upon themselves to physically remove people who speak up and disagree with them using private security that they have no right to use. Blatant first amendment violation along with with what should be a*****t since these are supposed to be public meetings and the “private” security company has no right to be there.

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.
Load More Replies...More likely it will be three; there will be a 'core' claiming to be the original US, of mostly east-coast and a few more central states, there will be a f*****t nation calling itself the People's Republic of Great America, consisting of mostly the Southern states from Florida to Texas, and maybe as far north as Kansas, and then the West Coast and central heartland, and a great deal of the North, will finally grow into a proper social democracy. 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.

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.

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.
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.
