A mukbang fail is when an eating broadcast goes wrong in any number of spectacular ways — the food isn't good, the host can't finish, something spills catastrophically, the ASMR is cursed, or the meal choice turns out to be deeply unappetizing on camera. Mukbang fails are their own genre of entertainment, often performing as well or better than successful mukbangs because there's something deeply satisfying about watching someone commit to eating an enormous quantity of something they're clearly regretting. The most legendary mukbang fails live rent-free in comment sections for years.
The whole mukbang was a fail — she ordered live octopus, panicked halfway through, and it became a meme.
