00:00Is this guy left his name with his business card after he shoplifted here trying to pick up on the girl he just shoplifted from
00:06Welcome to watch mojo
00:08And today we're counting down our picks for the times when idiots and criminals alike found themselves getting some well-deserved karma
00:16for their misdeeds
00:17Can you explain why?
00:20No more than 10 feet from your car is a hat that matches the exact picture from the suspect in the video
00:27Uh
00:28I can't
00:31Number 10
00:32Deathbed confession, you know the phrase silence is golden
00:36well, james washington should have taken it to heart as his big mouth turned what was supposed to be an
00:43Alleviation of guilt into an extended stay in the slammer confess and you may receive a quick death
00:51Deny and you must be purified by pain. Do you confess?
00:56Yes
00:56Believing himself to be dying of a heart attack the tennessee local who was already incarcerated at the time
01:03Confessed to beating a woman named joyce goodner to death 17 years prior. Yeah. Yeah, I'd kill her
01:10Why of course she wouldn't let me go
01:13However, it turns out he didn't die and his confession was used as evidence to get him convicted
01:19It's a poetic end all brought on by a guilty conscience paired with a fatal misunderstanding of tennessee's
01:26statute of limitations
01:29Congratulations, you played yourself number nine
01:32Doing tesco over not that we're going to give advice to any and all would-be criminals
01:38But if you're going to go out of your way to threaten an establishment best not advertise it beforehand
01:44My entire life has been leading up to this very moment
01:47Take that knife like so many incidents back in the 2010s
01:51Facebook proved to be the undoing of numerous idiots parading as low-key gangsters case in point
01:58Andrew hennells who advertised his plan to rob his local tesco supermarket armed with a knife give him your wallet
02:06What for he's got a knife
02:11That's not a knife
02:13Oh
02:15That's a knife
02:17Thankfully, no one was hurt and hennells was caught 15 minutes later earning himself a prison sentence of four years
02:25Tweet us on facebook or leave us a review and you say yeah. Yeah
02:30Okay, I think I will number eight laughing at trial, but judge kiana lillard
02:36Apparently hears some snickering from casal's family sitting in the gallery a sentence hearing is not a funny place
02:43So how anyone could find themselves with a case of the giggles is beyond us
02:49Donna cussel apparently found the notion that her daughter who was sentenced for driving under the influence
02:54Leading to an innocent man's death in a collision rather hilarious. I'm funny. How I mean funny like i'm a clown. I amuse you
03:03I make you laugh her snickering came back to bite her though as she was not only kicked out of the courtroom
03:09But found herself spending a night in jail it didn't take long for her to change her tune to a more remorseful one
03:21Number seven the emperor's new clothes
03:30We're heading off to florida for this next one and it's a doozy after robbing a home improvement store
03:36Milton j. Hodges jr
03:38Thought to evade security by escaping into a nearby resort stealing a golf cart and making a brisk getaway
03:45There was only one flaw in his plan. He had trespassed into a nudist county
03:51You are naked. Huh? Oh for sure. We're a naturalist club
03:56And as such was the only one wearing clothes making him all too easy for authorities to spot
04:03A sudden end for hodges fledgling criminal career, but great exposure for cypress cove nudist resort and spa
04:09Only in florida if we were going on a two-week vacation at a nudist colony, what would you pack number six?
04:16the
04:17Dumbest stalker. I know the evidence is
04:21Overwhelming but i'm not the guy that did this
04:24I don't tell you i'm just not it's no secret that in this day and age of online parasocial
04:30Relationships certain fans can cross that dreaded line and become full-blown stalkers
04:36Farhan jami decided he would cartwheel over said line and become a wannabe
04:41Arsonist driving from new york to the home of popular streamer. Just foxy in ohio
04:46Jami went about setting fire to her car
04:52There were no casualties
04:54Jami, however sealed his fate by parking only two minutes away from the crime scene to catch some z's
05:01With all the damning evidence still on his person
05:04He was swiftly apprehended now faces jail time and now as a legacy cemented as one of the internet's biggest punching bags
05:12You are a sad strange little man, and you have my pity
05:16Farewell
05:17number five
05:18Bringing a bat to a gunfight. We're not exactly sure what the logic was behind this heist in the making
05:25Perhaps derek mosley of oregon thought that the firearms at a gun shop would be for display purposes only
05:32Uh, I got you a baseball bat with nails in it
05:36Surely the owner wouldn't be strapped in case someone came charging in with a baseball bat
05:42Well, that's exactly what happened
05:44Mosley only managed to smash up one display case before the owner revealed
05:48He was packing real heat and held him at gunpoint until the police arrived. You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky?
05:57Well, do you punk?
06:00thwarted by common sense
06:02Once again, it was a mistake. I made a mistake. Okay a mistake number four calling the bank
06:10Everybody be cool. This is a robbery a courtesy call is always appreciated though
06:16We doubt the staff of a fairfield bank expected to be informed ahead of time. They were going to be robbed
06:22According to reports albert bailey instructed the staff to load up a hundred thousand dollars worth of notes
06:28And hand the money over to his associate or risk a bloodbath
06:32All right, put the money in the bag
06:37Put it in. Um, you're facing the wrong way, sir
06:43All right, give me the money
06:45Naturally the staff contacted the police leading to swat rushing in and snagging both bailey and his cousin without incidents
06:53They might have thought their ploy to be genius
06:56But all they accomplished was letting the world know how foolish they really were I was there for him
07:02I was there to help him through this terrible moment in his life
07:06But you caused that terrible moment. Yep
07:09Everything worked out for everybody in the end number three a better photo. Not everyone is photogenic
07:16Sometimes it takes a few additional snaps to capture a person's best side
07:22Donald chip pew obviously felt the same way given that he went out of his way to contact police
07:29After they released his arrest warrant, which featured a photo he considered unflattering
07:34Oh, i'm like the crypt keeper, okay, that's enough
07:44Naturally he made the rational choice to text over a replacement photo because he didn't want the rest of ohio
07:51To think of him as someone who looked like quote james brown on the run
07:55Wow
07:59While the replacement image was a marked improvement
08:03It wasn't enough to undo the charges of vandalism and arson as you might have guessed it was arrested soon after
08:09Look at that subtle off-white coloring
08:12The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god
08:16It even has a watermark
08:18number two
08:19The romantic failing at both life and love
08:22Matthew crowder of albuquerque
08:24New mexico is a shining example of what not to do if you fancy yourself a smooth operator
08:30It's just people have these romantic projections. They put on everything, you know
08:33It's not based in any kind of reality after leaving a consignment store with more than a few unpaid items
08:40It was quickly arrested and exposed as one of the century's most idiotic lawbreakers
08:45And it was fun
08:47a little romantic game
08:49But i've called the police and they're gonna be coming shortly after all only minutes prior
08:55He had left behind his business card with the store clerk because he was trying to score a date with her
09:01Casanova, this man is not
09:04I thought it was sexy me, too
09:07Not like sexy but like cool sexy not like a aroused sexy
09:15I'm gonna not say sexy anymore

09:42What's wrong? You look upset
09:44Nope
09:45This is my proud face
09:51Their failure is legendary after being spotted by bystanders trying to break into a home
09:57The duo was promptly confronted and arrested. It's there
10:01The authorities discovered that not only were mcnelly and miller intoxicated
10:05But that in lieu of ski masks or hoods
10:08They had covered their faces in permanent marker and thus we were graced by two of the greatest mugshots in history
10:15To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people
10:19I've known sheep that could outwit you i've worn dresses with higher iqs nearly two decades later
10:25We're still laughing you
