Sometimes luck is your worst enemy. Whether they involve impractical gadgets, cause Henry's literal downfall or are just plain embarrassing, here are 20 of the funniest ways you can fail in this series.
#20: Escaping the Prison: Belt of Grenades
Uhh... I don't even know what to say about that one..
Protip: When throwing a grenade into another room, be sure it can't bounce back into the room your in!
#19: Stealing the Diamond: Laser Cutter
U GET CUT! Y U NO BLEED!?
There's no confirmation that this thing was made or endorsed by Gadget Gabe, but it may as well have been.
#18: Completing the Mission: Smash
Henry psyches himself up a little too much...
#17: Breaking the Bank: Shovel
Never dig straight down.
Whether it's a subway (original) or a gas pipe (collection) he encounters, Henry literally dug his own grave!
#16: Fleeing the Complex: Undercover Agent
Somebody missed out on not ratting yourself out while in enemy territory school!
#15: Infiltrating the Airship: Retroglove
You look like an idiot...
Wow. This thing's as useless as the Power Glove.
#14: Completing the Mission: Charge
Oh my God, he just ran in.
Since when was the Leroy Jenkins approach a good idea?
#13: Breaking the Bank: Explosives
Handle with care!
Nothing says good safe fun like piles of bombs!
#12: Fleeing the Complex: Sniper Rifle
Henry's shooting fail turns into an MLG montage!
#11: Stealing the Diamond: Falcon Punch
Only one man is capable of that punch.
Henry remembers at the worst possible time that he isn't Captain Falcon!
#10: Fleeing the Complex: Sandwich
This one weird trick will make you SUPER BUFF! Weightlifters HATE him!
Henry's sandwich induced power starts with him kicking some ass... And ends with him taking a boot to the family jewels!
#9: Stealing the Diamond: Display Gun
Quick! Pretend you were joking! (Good one, right guys?)
Guns displayed in museums typically aren't loaded. Who knew?
#8: Completing the Mission: Middle Hammer
Not much of a brain in there to begin with.
Word to the wise: Don't hit yourself in the head with a hammer!
#7: Escaping the Prison: Bazooka
Uh... Way to aim buddy.
Henry's explosive rampage gets foiled by a U-shaped pipe!
#6: Stealing the Diamond: Rifle
Man, those FPS shooters make it look so easy.
In Henry's defense, this is probably the first time he's ever used a gun.
#5: Completing the Mission: CorrupTick
Henry's attempt at using an unusual tick goes horribly wrong!
#4: Infiltrating the Airship: Ball & Chain
Fail message: A winner is you!
This would've been the quickest route ever!
#3: Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex: Charles
Hey look. Charles is here.
Charles just loves crashing his helicopter into Henry's position, doesn't he?
#2: Completing the Mission: Dance-Off
Do no./Cease./No./STOP IT!!!!!!
Here's an idea, maybe don't do outdated dances in the middle of a warzone!
#1: Series wide: The Teleporter
It's emergent technology. I'm sure it will get better!
The amount of times this device worked in Henry's favor can be counted on one hand!
In a way, Henry is like Wile E. Coyote, except that he eventually succeeds in his endeavors. There are plenty of hilarious failure sequences in this series, so feel free to mention your favorites in the comments section. Thanks for reading and if you're day isn't going so good, just be glad you're not this guy.
SearchScene is a great enough search engine as is, but these might just make it better. Whether they contain art, music or boatloads of information, here are 10 websites I think SearchScene should make !snaps of. For those wondering what I'm rambling on about, SearchScene has a feature where you can use the search functions of certain other websites directly from this site's search engine using a code, while still raising money for the charities it supports. Note: This site was sadly shutdown recently, however this list still applies for other search engines that want !snaps or !bangs of their own.
Why have one wiki when you can have a whole bunch of wiki's?
So SearchScene, if you've been looking for some more sites to link to through your search engine, I think I've done you a favor. You can also apply this to any other search engine with a similar feature. Thanks for reading, and if you wanna potentially win a trip to Disney World, click here.
Even by Looney Tunes standards, the amount of physical harm this unlucky canine can endure is amazing. Whether they get him blown up, lead to him falling off a cliff or are the results of the laws of physics making him their bi.... Err, punching bag, here are 20 of Wile E's most hilarious failed attempts at catching the Road Runner and Bugs Bunny.
#20: Super nobody: Fast and Furry-ous
Spoiler alert: This is a bad idea!
Wile E purchases a Superman costume and jumps off a cliff in an attempt to fly. He only succeeds in falling hundreds off feet onto the hard dessert ground. Talk about a super fail!
#19: Train from outta nowhere: Hot-Rod and Reel
Where'd that train come from?!
In an attempt to trap his mortal enemy, the Coyote sets up a fake railroad crossing. The second he springs his trap, a real train rams into him. Ouch!
#18: Bridge out!: Gee Whizz-z-z-z-z-z
Talk about wonky physics!
In a reverse of the usual painting gag, the Road Runner breaks through a painting Wile E draws... And Wile E enters the painting when he follows suit, falling through the chasm it depicted in the process. Too bad!
#17: Bunny bomb: Operation Rabbit
Brilliant. Unfortunately, Bugs also thought so...
Not one to give up (though he should), Wile E tries to blow Bugs up with a bomb disguises as a sexy bunny girl. However, a sexy coyote girl shows up at Wile E's doorstep... Which just happens to also be a bomb, designed by Bugs. You can do the math.
#16: Size changing pipe: Soup or Sonic
Maybe get away before the Road Runner gets hungry?
During an old school chase scene, both the bird and the canine run into a pipe that shrinks them to the size of an ant. When they run back through the same pipe, the former returns to normal size... And the latter remains tiny.
#15: What was the plan here? Whoa, Be-Gone!
For someone who claims to be a genius, he sure does do a lot of stupid stuff!
El Coyote's tightrope routine ends with the rope he was using breaking and him taking yet another plunge to the hard desert floor. This time, however, the rope reaches him... But not without touching a powerline first. At this point this coyote could give Meg Griffin a run for her money!
#14: Running through the dark: Beep Beep
At what point does he give up trying to catch that bird?
Dawning light up helmets, our favorite highspeed rivals wind up running all throughout a dark mineshaft. As unlucky as always, Wile E runs in circles, bounces off the ceiling and floor and finally winds up in a room full to the brim with dynamite.
#13: Right to the body: Beep Beep
That moment you realize you picked the wrong occupation!
The Coyote's next attempt at striking the supposedly Speed Force powered bird (tell me you can't imagine the Road Runner wearing a Flash costume!) involves a spring-loaded boxing glove. When sprung, the glove sends the boulder it's attached to flying into a nearby cliffside, and then slams in it's setters face.
#12: Detonator detonation: Fast and Furry-ous
Bad luck, thy name is Wile E. Coyote!
Sir Coyote tries the good ole dynamite trick on Sir Road Runner... Unfortunately, its the detonator that blows up in this situation, as opposed to the dynamite. Kaboom indeed!
#11: Ramp of in your face: Zoom and Bored
Talk about bombastic!
Still on the hunt for some really fast food, Wile E builds a super long ramp on a mountain with a bomb at the top. It takes a minute for the camera to pan up to the ramp's beginning... and a split second for the bomb Wile E lights up to explode in his face.
#10: Exploding water stand: Beep Beep
Tough luck buddy!
Wile E attempts to tries to bait his avian target with "free water" (spoiler alert: The glass is attached to a bomb), to no avail. Later on he mistakenly grabs that same glass... Guess what happens next!
#9: Miniature tornado of doom: Whoa, Be-Gone!
Even when small, tornadoes are bad news!
For his final attempt this episode, Wile E breaks out a tornado seeds and a water gun. Unfortunately for him, his water gun misfires and spills out on the seeds, creating a small tornado that ensnares him and drags him all over the desert, eventually bringing him to a minefield. Nature can be so cruel!
#8: Physics strike again: To Hare is Human
The laws of physics must really hate this guy!
In this short, Monsieur Egolicious employs an idea making machine to help him get the best of Bugs. His last attempt involves setting up a boulder to fall on Bugs when he picks a certain carrot. The rope connecting the 2 doesn't release when Bugs plucks said carrot... But it does when an annoyed Coyote touches it.
#7: Magnet go boom: Zipping along
Who knew TNT came in large metal barrels?
Good ole Eatius Birdius tries using steel balls and a giant magnet to catch Eatius Birdius. The only thing he catches is a giant TNT barrel, complete with lit fuse. Kaboom!
#6: Earthquake pills: Hopalong Casualty
Always read the fine print, everyone with a brain!
Finding out too late that they don't work on road runners, Fuzzy MC Unlucky swallows an entire pill of Earthquake pills and starts shaking violently all over the desert until he once again falls off a cliff. Well actually, the pills wear off right before he goes over, but in his relieved state he accidentally walks off another cliff. Tough luck!
#5: World's strongest magnet: Compressed Hare
No magnet should be this strong!
After several failed attempts at catching Bugs for lunch, Wile E. Decides to use a giant super magnet. Instead of catching bugs, the magnet catches Bugs' furniture, some ships, the Eiffel tower, several satellites and a massive rocket, which blows up the Coyote's base of operations. Next time use a weaker magnet!
#4: Coyote bot, Go!: The Solid Tin Coyote
Even humanoid canines dig giant robots!
After several more failed attempts trying to catch the Road Runner, the Coyote constructs a giant metal coyote to get the job done. Though the robot does succeed at first, it eats the Wile E. instead of the bird and then runs off a cliff like its forever unlucky creator. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!
#3: Too fast for bullets: Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z
Stupid bullet!
Our canine friend tries to put a bullet to his adversary's head, but the bullet gives up after he outruns it. An annoyed Coyote grabs the stationary bullet, only for it to explode in his face.
#2: The catapult: To Beep or Not To Beep
If at first you don't succeed, try again. If at twentieth you don't succeed, maybe try something else!
Our furry antagonist decides to go medieval and tries using a catapult against his feathered fiend. His efforts are in vain, however, as the thing always slams its boulder payload into him regardless of what he does to avoid it. During his last attempt, the catapult refuses to fire until he goes to the boulder, sending him through yet another obstacle course of pain.
#1: A cabin full of explosive carrots: Operation: Rabbit
Sometimes your worst enemy is your own ego. Other times it's an oncoming train!
Wile E tries to use Bugs' love of carrots to his advantage by filling some fake carrots with nitroglycerin. Unfortunately, he's so busy setting his trap up and stroking his ego that Bugs has time to move the shack he's in onto some train tracks... And Wile E doesn't notice until right before the oncoming train slams into the shack, detonating ever drop of nitroglycerin it held.
Some people just can't catch a break, especially when they refuse to stop chasing after impossibly fast birds. There was no way I was going include all of his failures, so these were just some highlights. I'll see you later. Thanks for watching. Also if you feel bad or the coyote, here's a fan made video of him finally catching the Road Runner.
You won't find these super stinkers near the Justice League or Avengers anytime soon. From incompetent jokers to conscience-free jerks, join me as we count down 10 of the worst designated "heroes" in cartoon history. To clarify, I will not be including characters like Cartman, Zim or Blackhat, as despite their protagonist titles they are clearly designed to be villains. I will also exclude characters like Rick Sanchez or BoJack Horseman, who have good reasons for being somewhat jerky.
#10: Mr. Krabs from seasons 5 through 8 SpongeBob SquarePants
He'll do anything for a buck, even if it means breaking the law!
In the first couple of seasons this crustacean was greedy, but quite well meaning and not too bad. In seasons 5 through 8, however, this changed quickly. Not only did his greed escalate to the point he'll drag people into his restaurant and force them to order food, several episodes showed him doing things like running a newspaper business that told life-ruining lies about the other customers, firing loyal employee SpongeBob just to save a nickel, and playing on Plankton's fear of whales to the extent he tried to kill himself. Fortunately, this character was reformed near the middle of season 9.
#9: Johnny Test from... well, Johnny Test
Not every kid is a good one.
This kid goes way beyond being just a little brat. Not only does he bug everyone around him with his whiney nature, he also causes major problems for his family and neighborhood by messing with his sisters' experiments. It doesn't help that he often receives little to no punishment for his misdeeds.
#8: The Teen Titans from Teen Titans Go!
Anyone else miss the old show?
Unlike their animated 2003 counterparts, these guys are really hard to like. Not only do they fight their enemies sometimes before they've even done anything, they also play harmful pranks on each other, wreck property, hurt innocent civilians and attacking their enemies before they've even done anything to warrant being attacked. That being said, the show does often bring up self-awareness about their unheroic behavior through self insults and the first movie puts them in a more positive light.
#7: Wally and Gus from Rocket Monkeys
These two are so bad even their own theme song mocks them!
Throughout this not so good show, these two morons repeatedly prove that they don't deserve their jobs as galactic patrol men. Not only do they cause rampant mayhem for everyone and everything around them, they also drove their arch enemy to villainy because they kept attacking him under the belief that he is a banana.
#6: Allen and Richard from... well, Allen Gregory
With characters like these, is it any wonder this show only lasted seven episodes?
These 2 are just plain rude. Allen is a self-absorbed little prick who treats nearly everyone around him like dirt and has a stalkerish crush on the much older principle of his school. Richard is no better. Not only did he stalk Jeremy until he left his family to be in an abusive relationship with him, he's also so incompetent at his job that the higher ups made him the "Super CEO" so he doesn't ruin the company.
#5: Henry and Ray from the Adventures of Kid Danger
Super heroes, they are not!
Sure they had moments of question morality in Henry Danger, but here they're just ridiculous. Not only do they repeatedly refuse to save the day because they were "too busy" playing video games or eating at a restaurant, but they also cause far more problems than any of the actual villains in the show.
#4: Sparky from The Fairly Oddparents
Don't let that big smile fool you, this guy is a menace to society!
This sob is widely considered one of the biggest reason for this show going down the toilet and its very easy to see why. From his first appearance alone, he caused immense problems with his magic and twice nearly got Timmy killed in a plane crash and a flood, while feeling no guilt about it. His appearances in other episodes were no better, to the point that fan's celebrated when he was confirmed to not be coming back for season 10.
#3: Peter Griffin from modern Family Guy
In all fairness, most of Family Guy's other main characters aren't much better.
He was once a well meaning if dimwitted and childish individual, but now he's one of the biggest jerks in cartoon history. He's abusive to his wife and kids, he's a major threat to everyone and everything around him and to top it all off, he virtually never regrets any of his actions and often gets off scot-free with them.
#2: Scrappy from The Little Pest
Scrappy (left) right before he sends his innocent little brother to make his maker.
This little bastard only appeared in a few old shorts, but this one alone puts him on the list. While going fishing, he repeatedly yells at his baby brother Oopie that he can't come along, going as far as to slap him hard enough to send him flying a short distance. When Oopie manages to catch up and accidentally tangles to fishing lines, Scrappy throws him right into the lake. As if that wasn't bad enough, he walks away pretending not to hear Oopie's cries for help and only goes in to save him so he doesn't get punished for his death. To top off this misery sundae, when the revived Oopie requests a drink of water, Scrappy responds by throwing him right back into the lake to drown.
#1: Ren from Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon
Somebody forgot their likeability pills today!
His original incarnation might've been a major jerk, but he least has some redeeming qualities. This version, however, is nothing but a monster. After a childhood of subjecting innocent animals to horrible torture, he lusts over scantily clad women, regularly consumes drugs and alcohol and is horribly abusive to Stimpy, even when he's supposedly pregnant.
Dishonerable mentions
Here are a few protagonists that aren't as bad as the ones above, though that's not a compliment.
Sway Sway and Beduece from Breadwinners
They mean well, they just don't have brains!
Yes these guys might annoy their fellow characters and cause more harm than good, but from what I've seen they have good hearts and often try to make up for their wrong doings, which is more than I can say for the characters who made the list.
Caillou and D.W. from Caillou and Arthur
You know the difference between these two, DarkSyde Phil and Onision? Two of them are obnoxious brats nobody likes and the other two are pictured above.
These kid might be highly obnoxious and prone to temper tantrums, but their wrong doings are nothing compared some of the stuff the entries above have done.
Bloo from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Out of all the characters on this list, Bloo is possibly the most likeable.
I honestly don't get why some people hate this character to be honest. Yes he's bratty, selfish and willing to step all over his friends to get what he wants, but there have been countless times where he treats his friends like actual friends and the show often punishes him for his misdeeds.
Yeah, this probably isn't the most upbeat way to ring in the new year, but I hope you enjoyed reading this anyway. If you can think of any more protagonists who don't deserve that title, be sure to mention them. I'll see you later. Here's to hoping this is the year the Covid-19 pandemic comes to an end.
Some people will do anything to smuggle their booze wherever they go. From flasks shaped like phones to golf clubs that hold drinks, join me as we count down 15 downright odd flasks.
#15: Santa's stocking flask
Merry Christmas everyone!
Ho ho ho and a large sock of eggnog!
#14: Phone flask
How long before iGet Drunk becomes a thing?
This phone doesn't have any apps or make calls, but it will fit in your pocket nonetheless.
#13: Secret binocular
Look at that!
This flask has not one, but two flasks for twice the drinking potential!
#12: Golf club
FOOORE!
It's a drink dispenser and blunt instrument all in one!
#11: Hairbrush
Multifunctional tools are the best!
Even with a hollow handle, this thing still does wonders for your hair.
#10: Belt buckle
Don't make me take a swig of whatever's in this thing!
A little close to the ding dong, don't you think?
#9: Necktie
Put some coffee in this and you'll be ready for any meeting!
Yeah, nobody's gonna notice you sucking the tip of your tie.
#8: Mitten
My hands may be warm, but my alcohol is cold!
Talk about keeping your beverage at hand!
#7: NES cartridge
Now you're playing with champagne!
Put it near your mouth, but keep it away from your Nintendo Entertainment System.
#6: Chill pack
Take a chill pack, man!
It can still be used like an ice pack if you're drink is cold enough.
#5: Tampon
That's what she said!
Whatever happens in the small plastic tube stays in the small plastic tube.
#4: Drinkman
Rock out!
When I heard the walkman was coming back, this isn't what I had in mind.
#3: Cane
The elderly drinker's choice!
It holds you and several small bottles of your favorite drink.
#2: Sports bra
Turn your c cup into an l cup!
Fill it with Gatorade or Red Bull and it could be a sports bra.
#1: Beer belly
If using this for drink sneaking doesn't work out, you could always have as part of your Homer Simpson cosplay.
Looks like we can finally take that expression literally.
If you're gonna drink, do it responsibly and don't even think of drinking and driving. There's bound to be some odd drink sneaking contraptions I missed, so leave some suggestions if you want. I'll see you later. Have a merry Christmas.
