Awesome Wins

People are Awesome put together this hilarious “wins vs. fails” compilation which compares some praiseworthy human feats against their groanworthy counterparts from FailArmy. We’re giving the official booby prize to the guy with the broomstick on the trampoline.

What walks downstairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a laddery sound? Everyone knows it’s Ladder! As one commenter pointed out: “That ladder walks more elegantly than half the robots out there.” We have to agree.

A runaway wheel comes rolling through a parking lot with its mind set on a single mission – to hone in on a very specific car with an open door and close it for the driver. We’re suspicious of the veracity of the clip, but it’s still amusing.

During a recent festival, a member of the crowd tossed a beer towards the lead singer of the Dutch rock band John Coffey. But instead of ending up with the sticky brew all over, he nailed the catch, then had a drink. (Thanks Willem!)

It’s happened to every drummer at some point – you’re jamming out and a stick goes flying. Scott Pellegrom was in the middle of a gig when it happened to him, but his recovery is so seamless that he managed to find time for a beer.

(NSFW: Language) We’ve encountered lazy pizza delivery drivers who don’t bother to come right to our door, but this guy takes it to a whole new level. In fact, he takes it to the third floor without coming up the stairs.

Athlete Christian Vasconcellos might not have had the best day ever when he wiped out in the middle of a run – but that didn’t stop him from turning his epic fail into an epic win.

We usually end up on the wrong end these sort of malfunctions, with our Twizzlers wedged against the glass despite all attempts to shake them loose. For every misfortune, there is also a triumph.
