I've had some spectacular crash and burn situations that were unintentional. But back in the day, me and three of my friends would go to the bar and have a competition to see who could get rejected the most in the most spectacular and creative way. You could also only use a successful failure approach once.
going up to a woman and calling her a fat hog and getting slapped would get you zero points. Offering to buy her a drink and then bringing her a diet soda because she really should be worried about her cankles was worth points.
Acting like a loser was zero points. Introducing yourself as a semi successful independant aluminum siding sales person from Intercourse, NS was worth points.
Extra points were given for props and custumes. One friend of mine was actually really charming this girl, but when he went to pay for her drink he "Accidentallly" dropped a ball gag and a tube of KY jelly on the floor where everyone could see it.
It was a fun game, but you could never do it in the same bar twice.
