fail video
Mishap caught online
A fail video is online footage showing someone's mishap, accident, or embarrassing mistake—usually a stunt gone wrong, a fall, or an attempt at something that backfires spectacularly.
The appeal lies in schadenfreude and the relatability of human error.
Fail videos are a staple of social media compilations: I spent an hour watching fail videos instead of working.
