A type of Montage, and the approximate inverse of a Hard-Work Montage, which shows a character or series of characters trying and failing to achieve some specific task such as building something, finding a job, finding romance, or performing a skill. The intent is to show either that the characters are hopelessly inept or clumsy (in which case it will probably include moments of Epic Fail or How Is That Even Possible?), or that the task is extremely difficult. A scene showing the characters despairing about their lack of progress is usual to be thrown in. If the attempters are protagonists, they'll usually succeed in the last shot; this may lead into a Training Montage, in which the attempter does gradually better each time, giving the whole scene a chiastic composition. Alternatively, the scene will cut out after the first success, the implication being that the character mastered the skill offscreen. This often occurs when someone gains a new superpower; see How Do I Shot Web?. It is also frequent in a When You Snatch the Pebble situation. Compare Humiliation Conga, where the failures happen one after the other in real time. Writer's Block Montage, Travelling Salesman Montage, and Terrible Interviewees Montage are Sub Tropes. Hilarious Outtakes are somewhere between this trope and the real world. Examples |

When the Admiral rearranges the fleets in Kantai Collection, the newly-formed Mobile Unit Five is a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits that can't get along and can't decide on a flagship. The girls decide to take turns as flagship on training missions. Each time, an enormous explosion at sea - followed by the dejected girls recuperating in the Repair Spa - tells us all we need to know about their degree of success. | |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: In order to prove himself skilled though to go on a quest with Princess Peach, Mario is made to complete an obstacle course (which Peach easily gets through in one try just to demonstrate). Cue Mario failing, rather painfully, dozens of times attempting the obstacle course all the way from sunset until sunrise. He never gets it (even with a super mushroom), but his Determinator attitude impresses Peach enough to let him come along anyway. | |

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith. The Mask of Momin is a helmet that once belonged to the Sith Mad Artist Lord Momin. It's imbued with his personality which possesses anyone who wears it. Darth Vader uses Lord Momin to construct a castle that can focus the Dark Side of the Force, only to execute him when the first design fails, take the helmet and put it on one of his stormtroopers. Cue a series of panels where Momin assures Vader that this design will work, whereupon the design collapses into a puddle of lava or blows up, then the next panel has the Mask on a completely different mook (and in one case a lava flea) who is assuring Vader of the same thing. | |

In The Simpsons episode "Homer the Smithers", Homer is Mr Burns' assistant instead of Smithers who's on vacation, and Homer's making Burns breakfast. Every single meal he's trying to make ends up catching fire, even when he pours milk on cereals. There are a number of scenes in the show showing Homer industriously at work in his workshop, resulting in a sorry tangle of lumber and nails. |

RoboCop 2 demonstrates early on why the hero is the only one of his kind: repeated attempts to make another Robo Cop result in cyborgs that immediately self-destruct with the realization of what they have become, kill the scientists that made them, or both. Eventually an executive figures out that they need someone with a very strong survival instinct who can be coerced into taking orders. | |

Early in Iron Man 2, Tony has to clear a Senate subcommittee hearing, as the U.S. government are nervous about his singular control of the Iron Man technology and the possibility that it might get into unscrupulous hands, especially now that other countries are making their own efforts to create their versions of Tony's suits. To demonstrate how far behind in the race the others are, Tony takes control of their screens and shows what those attempts have amounted to, all of which result in sheer property damage and/or severe injury to the test pilot. | |

Chapter five of Torako, Anmari Kowashicha Dame da yo largely centers on Aiko Torasawa trying to join various clubs. Popping the ball and tearing the net in half during Volleyball tryouts is a foreseeable-if-unfortunate consequence of her poorly controlled Super-Strength.

The Owl House In "Thanks to Them", Willow, Gus, Amity, and Vee looking around Gravesfield to try to get more information about the mysterious map they found. They eventually find what they're looking for at the Gravesfield Historical Society, but before that, visit three other places first with no success. At the costume shop, the shopkeeper runs them out of the store when Gus and Willow play around with the outfits and cause a scene, and she just looks at them in confusion when Willow tries to pay her with a gold coin from the Boiling Isles. When they go to the library, Amity—who works in a library on the Boiling Isles with living filing cabinets that require bribery or gestures of respect to be persuaded to open—is confused when they don't respond to anything she does, and when a little girl just walks up and opens one, her shock and subsequent embarrassment causes everyone there to stare at her. They reluctantly try visiting the giraffes at the zoo, but it barely acknowledges their presence. They're about to leave, but Willow takes a picture of it first, prompting it to reveal its "freaky" insect-like insides and roar at them and making all four of them scream. |

WarGames. After David Lightman learns of the possibility of a back door into the system he wants to hack into, there's a long montage of him trying various means of discovering the password needed to open the back door. In a later scene, after he sees a video of Professor Falken and his deceased son, he realizes that the password is the son's name: Joshua. And it works. | |

Star Trek: Prodigy: In "Kobayashi", Dal discovers the Kobayashi Maru simulation and decides to take it for a spin. In his attempts to win the simulation, we're constantly shown him getting blown up in various ways. One of those incidents has Dal and Jankom Pog huddled behind the tactical consoles and having forced the hologram simulations of Uhura, Spock, Dr. Crusher and Odo to hide with them. | |

Kaeloo: In Episode 80, a montage is shown of Stumpy losing at beach volleyball. The final scene in the montage makes it look like he's going to finally hit the ball, but he fails that too in an Epic Fail. In Episode 233, Kaeloo gets turned into a giant non-sapient frog and Mr. Cat and Quack-Quack must capture her in order to return her to her normal form. A montage ensues of them trying various methods devised by Mr. Cat, all of which fail horribly and end with Mr. Cat getting injured. |

Later on, while on the run from the police who are seeking to take them into custody, Hodaka, Hina, and Nagi are looking for a hotel to stay the night in, but as with the last montage they get rejected by almost every hotel they enter until they finally get into a rather luxurious one. | |

In season 12, the main cast is trying to get Felix as part of a training exercise. None of the attempts even come close. In Season 14 "The Triplets", interspersed with the top-ranking agents of Project Freelancer training, we also have a montage of the worst agents of Freelancer failing to get anything right in their sessions as counterpoint. |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Pickles", SpongeBob has trouble doing things right, and there's a montage of him trying to figure out how to get into bed. In "Missing Identity", SpongeBob tries to retrace his steps to find his missing name tag by repeating everything he did that morning, from tripping down the stairs to tasting Gary's food to saying hi to Patrick. Unfortunately, Patrick keeps flubbing his lines, meaning that they have to go through the whole thing over and over. In "Skill Crane", there is one of Squidward trying but failing miserably to win a prize from the crane. In "I Heart Dancing", Squidward forces SpongeBob to copy a three-step performance and not stop until he gets it exactly right, in an attempt to ruin his dance audition out of jealousy. SpongeBob begins to practice, but he cannot do the third step correctly and ends up messing it up every time; he continues into the night and into the next morning and finally makes it...but Squidward wants him to do it again. It is to the point SpongeBob is overworked and finally falls asleep, and cannot wake up in time for the audition. In "Friendiversary", Squidward is forced to spend the day with an amnesiac SpongeBob to get him to regain his memory of him. What follows is a montage of him reenacting various things they did from past episodes; SpongeBob shrugs at each and every one. |

An amusing cavalcade of failures is demonstrated in Transformers: Animated after Megatron returns from his supposed death in the pilot three-parter, whereupon he promptly executes Starscream. Starscream in turn gets an Allspark fragment stuck in his head and is brought back to life as well as an immortal zombie of sorts. Starscream being Starscream, he subsequently attempts to assassinate Megatron and fails repeatedly over the course of several minutes (implied to be several hours). Each time Megatron thinks he's rid of Starscream, Starscream returns unfazed to try again, much to Megatron's obvious and increasing annoyance. Starscream can't actually overthrow or assassinate Megatron, and Megatron can't actually get rid of Starscream despite his best efforts and firepower, making this a two-fer montage. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic seems to like this one a lot. "The Show Stoppers" has a montage early on featuring the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying and failing at various tasks in attempts to get their Cutie Marks. "The Cutie Pox" has one where the CMC try to cheer up Apple Bloom after another failed cutie mark venture. Her response for each is "No, it won't!". The Mane Cast during the "What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me" song in "Magical Mystery Cure." All of them save Twilight Sparkle are shown trying, and failing, to do one another's jobs. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, yet again, in the "Hearts as Strong as Horses" song in "Flight to the Finish." In this case the Failure Montage leads up to eventual success through teamwork. "Pinkie Pride" has Pinkie Pie, feeling overshadowed as resident Party Planner Pony, trying out other jobs including operating room nurse, mailmare, and construction worker. |

In A Knight's Tale, William's attempt to become a master jouster is at first fraught with failure, as he tries repeatedly to grab a ring with his lance or hit the shield of a practice dummy, to his friends' increasing dismay and frustration. At one point they comment that he actually seems to be getting worse, and even one of his victories leads to him being put in danger of drowning. After he finally succeeds in his training the film jumps to his first tournament, where he barely scrapes by with a win. | |

One episode of The Tomorrow People (2013) has Stephen attempting to access "Limbo" by trying to learn to stop time whilst teleporting. We get a nice montage of him and John trying to work that out, before concluding that they need a new approach. | |

Dr. STONE: Chapter 215 has one where the Kingdom of Science's efforts to launch a rocket keep ending in either it flying off course or exploding. Though Senku and Xeno's smiles show they aren't too bothered by the streams of failed launches as they improve the rocket. | |

In Pokémon Journeys: The Series, after a disastrous first battle against Gym Leader Bea, Ash submits his Riolu to fight foes with tentacles in order to better counter her Grapploct. Cue loss after loss that only drives Ash further into the Corner of Woe (though he gets better by the end of the episode). | |
