This is the opposite of a mic drop. It's when some does or says something in a public forum, thinking it will be a quintessential mic drop moment, but it comes off awkward, reeking of Fremdschämen (secondhand embarrassment), and is just an epic fail. Depending on the person/forum/action, instead of applause or renown, there's backlash or ridicule.
A prime example is the Kanye West / Taylor Swift incident (or many of the things he says or does these days actually.). A recent example is Katy Perry's foray into space which she expected to be a huge triumph but has been a total fiasco.

The best man thought he was being clever but that 'Man. Bear. Pig.' joke in front of the groom's new wife and in-laws was a total mic flop.
The way the boxer bragged about his skills no one would have expected a TKO in the first 30 seconds. Talk about a mic flop moment.
Jenelope: Big Red lied and schemed to sabotage Isis, but she still didn't win!
Lafred: Did you see her face when they called our name?
Lava: Record scratch!
All: Mic flop!!!!

Get the Mic Flopmug. by Hanghbcf September 2, 2019
Get the National flip flop daymug. Legend has It that Devon "Poopy Do" Josephs brethren forced him to jump off a high platform at the pool. Devon "Poopy Do" Joseph was scared but he made the plunge, he landed on his buttocks. His swimming trunks went so far up his anus that they had to go to a medical professional to get it removed. "They" called it "The Wedgie Flop"
"When I was eight, my brothers dared me to jump off the high-dive platform at the pool. I was scared, but I jumped. I wasn't gonna let them call me chicken. I landed on my butt. Sounds better than a belly flop, right? Wrong. My trunks went so far up my butt, I had to go to the hospital and get them removed. They invented a new word for what I did. The wedgie flop. I've been afraid of water ever since."

Get the Flopmug. "Overcooked on the bottom, Crispy as fuck and it looks like Gandhi's Flip Flop, What a shame" - Gordon Ramsay on Hell's Kitchen

Get the Gandhi's Flip Flopmug. The Doo-Wop Flop is a sexual maneuver in which the male places his erect "penis" through the hole of a standard 45 rpm record, preferably a highly sought after title of the doo-wop genre from the 1950's through the 60's. Coitus is then performed, with the challenge being the preservation of the records placement on the base of the "penis", along with it's structural integrity, and condition. After completion, the record is then safely removed and inspected for "damage" (fluids, surface cracks, etc.). This unorthodox performance has been described by doo-wop record collectors as a form of high-stakes gambling, in which they risk ruining their often extremely valuable, and sometimes priceless records in the process. Positive outcomes after this act is performed are often highly praised about among the community of enthusiasts and collectors, where as negative outcomes are met with sympathetic condolences for the collector's loss and misfortune of a ruined record.
Brad (a Doo-Wop Flop Extremist): Dude, last night was crazy. Jennifer and I wanted to try something new, something exhilarating, so we decided to execute the Doo-wop Flop. I used a scratched up copy of "Come Go with Me" by the Dell-Vikings. It was such an exciting challenge to keep the record on my shaft, and once I finished, I heaved her off of me and rushed over to the turntable before the playing surface crusted over, and let me tell ya, I didn't hear a single pop upon playback! ill never go back to digital noise reduction ever again.
Dennis(another Doo-Wop Flop Extremist):: Go figure! I actually frequent that maneuver. just 3 nights ago, I threw Becky off me so hard, and in my haste to platter the record, she actually jettisoned into my stereo setup, and cracked her head open. Unfortunately, she broke my turntable in about 3 pieces, therefore I was unable to get an accurate reading in terms of sound improvement. We will try it again when she is out of the ICU in 8-10 weeks.
Common variables for "The Flop" include but are not limited to:
-The record's value, rarity, and grade
-Duration and intensity of coitus
-Fluid levels
-Subsequent playback improvement or degradation
