May be a result of MisaimedFandom, and is a SubTrope of FailureGambit. Compare FakeRealTurn, with "fake" and "real" replaced with "failure" and "success" respectively. Common for people with {{Dismotivation}}. May be caused by a PlagueOfGoodFortune. If the initial failure would be getting in trouble with the authorities, see CantGetInTroubleForNuthin. Compare with NiceJobFixingItVillain. For one going for success and succeeding despite ''others'' thinking he won't, see AndYouThoughtItWouldFail. For when one doesn't even try to do anything but ends up winning anyway, see WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing. ReassignmentBackfire is similar [[ReassignedToAntarctica where one sends a person they don't like or is expendable]] [[SnipeHunt on a dangerous or impossible mission]] [[UriahGambit with the hopes they'll be killed in action]], only for that person to come back alive and successful. Contrast with BluffWorkedTooWell, where a character's attempt at lying backfires explicitly because it was accepted and [[DidntThinkThisThrough the character now doesn't knows]] [[MissingStepsPlan what to do]] to keep the bluff going.
