This one's the classic "There Was An Attempt" template: a mock news headline sitting over a real LiveLeak still from a botched convenience store robbery, red circles helpfully marking exactly where it all went wrong for the guy holding the gun. It's the internet's go-to shell for any story that starts with confidence and ends in regret.
Swap the headline text for literally any plan that got instantly, violently corrected by reality — a diet, a group project, a get-rich-quick scheme, a bold Reply All. The photo does the punchline for you; you just write the setup.
