Online streaming has opened numerous opportunities for people to enjoy a wide variety of content.
As a result, the Twitch streaming platform gained prominence by providing its audience with a variety of entertaining content to enjoy.
Most of the time, we are impressed by the gaming skills or other abilities that participants display, and we seldom consider the possibility of failure.
But trust me, they can.
And, unfortunately!
Sometimes, the outcome of such failures is simply laughter at someone’s mishap, while at other times, these failures are truly cringe-worthy.
You certainly don’t have to take my word for it.
However, here!
Experience it for yourself!
Top Twitch Fails
1. Laboratory424 and the Appendage Incident
Alright, the first glorious fail I want to share with you is likely a situation where the streamer pushed his luck too far from the beginning.
People are unpredictable beings, so you can never be certain who is on the other side.
Accordingly, Laboratory424 relied on the belief that his viewers are kind-hearted individuals and chose to include them in his streams.
Here’s what happened.
First of all, I believe you have all heard of the streamer Laboratory424 and have watched at least one of his streams.
Some time ago, during one of the streams, a streamer who falls under the category of tech and science streamers enabled a feature that allowed his chat to create designs on an artboard.
I must admit that this was a fantastic idea that could have resulted in many inspirational memes, or otherwise useful and creative content.
However, the end result was a total disaster.
Initially, everything went quite well until one of the audience members decided to be funny (in his own mind, to be honest!).
What this guy did was send images of Pepe the Frog accompanied by a sketch of a male appendage to the artboard.
That is not cool!
I mean, he could have chosen literally anything, but instead, he opted to make a complete fool of himself and, of course, get banned.
Fortunately, Laboratory424 did not encounter any restrictions, and why should it, due to someone else’s abusive behavior?
His idea was genuine, while others chose to be the uncool person.
2. Amouranth vs. Flash Police
Not to mention, violating community guidelines.
Moreover, I’m not entirely convinced that this should be categorized as a failure in the first place. However, considering that she was temporarily banned for her actions, let’s say it was nominally a failure.
What occurred was simply an innocent display to the audience.
During one of her streams, Amouranth, a female streamer often labeled as one of the hottest Twitch thots, was playing with her dog. At some point during the stream, she flashed her audience, and it was clearly evident that she was not wearing any underwear.
Considering that this is a clear violation of community guidelines, Amouranth was banned for a period of time.
However, the word spread quickly, so when the ban was lifted, she immediately gained a large number of followers.
We are clearly fans of a bit of flesh!
Whether it was a cringe-worthy moment or not, and regardless of its failure, Amouranth benefited from this “unintentional” mistake, attracting a larger audience than she had prior to the incident.
3. Dr. Disrespect in the Episode “Bathroom Incident”
Yes, this person.
You can’t have a Twitch list of any kind without including this guy.
I believe you may have heard rumors or a brief version of this incident, but here is what actually occurred.
During an IRL stream at E3 in 2019, this controversial streamer found himself in a public toilet and thought it was a good idea to continue streaming.
Certainly, you can understand why things went wrong.
This is not only a violation of Twitch and E3 community guidelines and terms of service, but it is also illegal.
I mean, jeopardizing the privacy of third parties, etc.
Consequently, he received a two-week ban.
While many believed he would remain in character, the real person behind Dr. Disrespect, Guy Beahm, apologized for his unacceptable behavior during the controversial stream.
That’s something, at the very least.
4. Kandyland vs. The Microwave
Regarding our No. 4 on the list, this is essentially a series of unfortunate circumstances that the streamer couldn’t control, yet it remains a great Twitch fail to laugh about.
Specifically, our adorable streamer Kandyland chose to share with her audience the electrical issues she was experiencing.
During a stream where she discussed these issues, she demonstrated this in practice by turning on the microwave.
At that point, the microwave used too much energy, causing Kandyland’s stream to be cut off.
So, she truly didn’t have the power 😀
I believe the audience was momentarily taken aback, but I also think Kandyland could not have made her point more effectively.
Upon resuming the stream, she was clearly embarrassed, but the audience forgave her.
5. Hellbringer13225 vs. Angry Female
Ah, jealousy, you green-eyed monster!
Indeed, keeping secrets in a relationship is never advisable, regardless of how skilled you are at it.
In particular, you should not keep secrets about having accounts on dating platforms if you are in a relationship.
If I need to explain why, then you’re in serious trouble.
Here’s why!
Our hellbringer13225 here thought it was acceptable to have a girlfriend or wife while maintaining a separate love life on Tinder.
As a result, during one of his League of Legends live streams, the Hellbringeress creates a stir over his Tinder profile, which she was unaware of.
As he plays, we hear her shouting about it in the background, and his reaction is one of complete denial.
Considering that he didn’t stop the stream, we are led to believe that this was a fabricated scenario to attract more viewers to his streams.
Regardless of the situation, I must say it’s quite disappointing.
For one, regardless of how much drama you incorporate into your streams, if you don’t showcase quality content, such as excellent gameplay, no amount of personal drama will attract and retain more viewers.
Additionally, this stream serves as a prime example of the dangers associated with having your entire life on public display online.
Thousands of people hear you arguing with your partner.
So, where has common decency gone?
Nobody wants to hear about your private life drama on Twitch.
We each have our own.
Thank you!
6. HAchubby vs. Working Hours in a Coffee Shop
You may not have heard of HAchuby, but I seriously doubt that.
She is a Korean streamer who focuses solely on studying English, as indicated on her homepage.
I do not intend to sound offensive, but I would like to focus on one of her viral streams where she revealed more than just her lack of English proficiency.
Specifically, HAchubby enters a coffee shop clearly marked with 24 (indicating it is open 24 hours a day), and she appears visibly confused.
As she approached the front desk, she simply asked, “What is the closing time?”
However, I believe she intentionally created this sketch, knowing that the audience enjoys it when we ask foolish questions that embarrass ourselves.
Because we all like to see ourselves as smarter than others.
Therefore, I believe HAchubby played this card with the intention of attracting a larger audience.
Regardless of the situation, I find this stream of hers quite cringe-worthy.
A complete failure, I must say.
7. EE & TKBREEZY in the Episode “Damn, Girl, What a Behind”!
In the setting of the Kongo Saga tournament, we observe the characters from the title commenting on the game as a girl with an attractive figure walks by.
While EE is still speaking, TKBreezy is subtly glancing at the girl.
However, in the middle of his sentence, EE notices an attractive woman, turns around to take a look, then turns back to the camera and continues speaking, his face all lit up.
At that moment, TKBreezy begins to laugh.
You may wonder what the issue is, but if you don’t recognize it, you are merely a part of the puzzle.
This is a subtly sexist behavior in which both individuals objectified a woman solely based on her physical appearance.
That’s not acceptable, everyone.
That’s really not cool.
8. Kaceytron vs. Fitness Age
Our number 8 on the list is female gamer Kaceytron. If you’re not familiar with her, she is best known for her Just Chatting parties, Wii Sports, and similar streams.
She earned a spot on our list due to a rant she made when, on one occasion, Wii Sports calculated her fitness age as 80.
She began swearing and ranting about the outcome, which might have been acceptable in different circumstances.
However, her reaction was so clearly fake and overacted that we can’t help but cringe at her attempt to appear funny and hilarious; instead, she came across as insincere.
Sorry, Kacyetron, this was not to our liking.
We value honest reactions, not performances.
Or, if you’re going to act, do it correctly at least.
9. Swushwoi vs. General Education
You’re aware that some things are considered common knowledge, correct?
For instance, Florida is one of the federal states in the USA, which uses a different measurement system compared to the rest of the world.
It is also widely recognized that the USA is not the center of the universe, regardless of how much some may wish it to be.
Now, regarding common knowledge and common sense, we Americans tend to be quite unique individuals.
Allow me to illustrate this with the following example.
Swushwoi is a variety streamer who has recently come to represent the widespread lack of common knowledge prevalent across the USA as a nation.
During a Guess the Flags game, she was tasked with matching the Czech Republic flag to the country’s location on the map.
The first thing that surprised her was that Czechia is in Europe.
At the same time, we, the viewers, were astonished by her lack of common knowledge.
As she exclaims about the surprising fact she has just discovered, she continues to embarrass herself by saying she thought it was an island!
Seriously, what the heck?
As we continue to cringe, she persists in her rant by questioning (ALOUD) whether the USA owns the Czech Republic?!
This is now a blatant offense to common sense and to all citizens of the Czech Republic!
Finally, to make matters worse – yes, it can and does get worse – she says, “Oh, no, that’s Cuba.”
Facepalm!
I’m not sure what is more disrespectful here – her lack of knowledge or her self-righteous indifference toward it.
Completely unacceptable!
10. Michael Reeves and Friends in the Episode “A Rather Poor Choice of Words”
Indeed, the words you select in a specific context can occasionally be quite inadequate, yet still offer comic relief.
Sometimes, however, when we seek comic relief, we end up appearing foolish and cringe-worthy.
The latter instance occurred on Michal Reeves’s Twitch stream, where he was sitting with a group of friends.
We don’t know the background story, but we see one of the female friends talking about Michael, saying he just stares at her and touches her every time…
Yes, you read that correctly.
She touches her.
It is clear that this is a poor choice of words and would otherwise be simply amusing.
However, what concerns me is that this was clearly premeditated, as they filmed everything and shared it online.
The final outcome is a significant failure and a superficial effort to engage the audience.
This could have been executed much more effectively.
With genuine gaming skills and high-quality content.
Conclusion
Indeed, streaming on Twitch is not easy.
Having excellent gaming skills alone is not enough to attract an audience.
No.
Things do not operate that way.
You must go above and beyond, employing various tricks and techniques to keep the audience engaged and consistently returning to your streams, eager for more.
Here, we can observe various tricks that streamers employed to attract a larger audience, but I would argue that most of these were outright disasters.
What more can I say than to learn from these experiences, laugh at them, and strive not to repeat the same mistakes?
That will be all.
Goodbye!
