Get the Catastrophic Fail mug.
A) A fail that surpasses the level of epic

B) A fail where the fail's and epic fail's become so compacted that it can only be categorized as Catastrophic failure.
1)A quadriplegic clown (comedic irony = catastrophic fail)

2) Man: "im sorry i didn't call in to work yesterday sir. My car blew a tire causing me to go careening of the road, the paramedics didn't come for 2 hours, when i got home my wife thought i was at the bar all day from how i looked and she divorced me, and i found out i had cancer."

Boss: "you're fired"
(man = catastrophic failure)

3) crashing your car into a snowbank on your way to an interview because you over corrected your turning, slammed on the brakes, and were going to fast on an icy road to begin with.
