The Failure Mobile is a machine featured in the 2020 Disney+ original film Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made. It is a Segway that Patty Failure won at a church raffle event which she uses for transportation.
Background[]
The Failure Mobile is a method of transportation which Patty Failure uses for her life. This vehicle was named in honor of the Failure family according to Timmy himself. At one point, Patty became lucky during a church raffle where she won the Segway, unlike many other participants who weren't lucky enough to win. Even though Patty is the one who uses it, Timmy often uses it in certain situations when it comes to completing certain "assignments" - although there are times when Timmy can use it while there are other times he cannot as part of his mother's orders.
The Failure Mobile itself becomes crucial for the film's plot, especially when it comes to Patty's worry that her Segway is missing, as Timmy believes that it was stolen. However, it turns out that this device was illegally parked in a garage, which Patty was never aware of this, leading Patty to became excited that she finally found her missing Segway.
Role in the film[]
Timmy narrates of his life of how he uses the "Failure Mobile" (which his mother won at a church raffle event) and how he uses for transportation, although his mother puts in restrictions whether Timmy is allowed or not to use it. Later, Timmy decides to cancel all other cases in a plan to find the Failure Mobile, where he finds Rollo's mother in a plan to negotiate with her son. During a conversation with Rollo, he agrees to help Timmy that he will find the Failure Mobile by making a deal in planning to promise, but Timmy decides to see Flo instead.
Timmy later returns to his mother who is upset that she is missing her Segway, which Timmy claims to her that Molly Moskins, one his his classmates, used it for a rally, much to Patty furious that his behavior must stop. Patty tells her son that she wants her Segway back the moment the rally ends just before planning to call Molly's mother. As Timmy's mother goes into a private conversation with Molly's mother, Timmy approaches Molly asking her is she is using the Failure Mobile for the rally, which he tells her about the Segway. When Molly agrees to be Timmy's cover, she tells him to do his tasks so that she could help him find the Segway. Timmy refuses at first, but decides to change his mind.
During a conversation with Rollo at a bus, he feels worried with Timmy that his plan to rob a bank (which Timmy believes the Failure Mobile would be) is a bad idea, which Timmy tells him that Total is his backup. Timmy and Rollo enter a bank and wear fencer masks in a plan to "retrieve" the Segway just before a security guard approaches them, telling them to remove their masks as part of the bank policy, unaware of a security camera above, just before they retreat. During an imagination montage of finding the missing Failure Mobile, Timmy narrates that he told Total to avoid spotlights, steer clear of obvious entrances, or keeping away distractions, but Total did not listen while instructing him to find the Failure Mobile with caution, albeit his size being too massive, as Timmy narrates that it was his last chance in finding the missing Segway.
Furthermore at the climax at the film, Timmy and Crispin arrive at an inventory area, where it is revealed that the Failure Mobile which was illegally parked at the inventory, which Timmy was looking for the whole time just as Timmy narrates about how he describes Stumptown. Timmy later arrives at Cathedral Park during an Animal Awareness rally, which his mother notices that Timmy found her missing Segway. After Timmy's speech was a success, he believes that Corrina Corrina kidnapped Frederick Crocus, his teacher, leading Timmy to ride on the Failure Mobile with Total following along to begin a new "assignment".
