Fail to Win

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.

This example ~~fails~~ wins!

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.

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

The only exception.

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.

She would be too ugly to rape if this were real. Though this is just a bad photoshop, so it's a double fail.

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.

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.
