Failing so hard you loop back to win, alternatively known as F2W, Fail-to-Win, or MulligaWAIT NEVERMIND, is the act of turning a fail into a win either on purpose or through NO action on your part. The latter is usually the case, meaning that you are not a winner, but rather the luckiest son of a bitch on earth. There many ways to pull off this powerhouse dynamo and spit in the crusty eyes of God, most notably exclaiming "I did it for the lulz!" when you're about to fail/ currently are failing super hard.
Its polar opposite, Win2Fail, is also fucking hilarious, but is harder to accomplish; only true heroes can turn a big win into an epic fail.
Protip: Never try to set up a situation that will result in a Fail-to-Win, that just makes you a big attention whore.
Ways to Fail so hard you wind up Winning
- Get your own reality show for being 600 pounds overweight
- Convince 90,000 people to show up to your fucktarded rally
- Run a marathon until you shit yourself, but wind up finishing near the front of the pack
- Be this guy
- Accidentally create a meme
- Create an unbelievably shitty article about someone, only to have them get butthurt over it just before it got deathnoticed.
- Plan a raid on a site run mainly by girls, only to fail it and end up getting laid instead
- Become an internet troll but wind up harassing someone so violently that you get their dox
- Become an hero
- Fail to do your job 60% of the time, be hailed as the greatest in history
- Tell everyone on your plane to go fuck themselves and become a true hero. OH SHIT, I lied!
Winning in such a way that guarantees Failure
- Have sex with so many women that at least one of them turned out to have a penis
- Blog about beating someone at a game that they have never played before
- Leave your house 10 minutes early for work or school, then get in a car crash that wouldn't have happened if you had come 5 seconds later
- Go on a relaxing hunting trip, but don't be ready for anything that might happen
- Become famous through haters
- Fuck up a bunch of skaters, get caught
Vidya Examples
Win or Fail? You have to watch to the end to decide.

Memes
See main article: Meme Combining
Everyone knows the vast majority of memes are overused, unfunny, forced, and gay. This also means that sometimes, reasonably fun memes are contaminated by the poison of horribly unfunny shit. One example:

The result is a cringe-worthy amalgam of Failure to make you laugh, but Success in mildly entertaining you.
What NOT to look for
If you happen across something that you aren't sure about, run it by the TJC, or alternatively, realize you are a dumb fuck and desperately need to remedy the situation. Avoid trying to make something a F2W (or any variation) unless the forces of awesome and suck are colliding.
To the left is an example of what is usually misconstrued as a F2W; poorly done, unfunny, and not even a chance of having sex with it. Remember: No Fails, Fail-Fails, Wins, Win-Wins, and for fuck's sake, NO CHUCK NORRIS.
He is just one of many celebrities that were once considered cool, but then sold out or got really gay, or always WERE GAY. Avoid using your fallen idols when creating content under the moniker of Fail-to-Win. There is only ONE EXCEPTION: The up-and-down career of Robert Downey Jr, as Downey is the only celebrity in America, hell, even the entire world, that has been caught in the act, and salvaged such an epic career.
