Sometimes the results are a runaway chain reaction that threatens to destroy the facility/city/region/country/continent/world/''[[ApocalypseHow universe]],'' a weapon that not only annihilates its target but has high (or total) collateral damage, or a PsychoPrototype that [[ZerothLawRebellion obeys orders only too well]]. Other times, the instigators find out the result was something they shouldn't have attempted in the first place. The PotentialApplications were so exclusively in the evil/destructive side that the project had no possible use ''but'' to destroy.

* A [[https://youtu.be/4phbv5Xg9is UPS ad]] from the nineties features a ''very'' small company opening for business. The dozen or so employees hover over their brand-new website, then celebrate when the first order comes in...dozens of orders...thousands! And then they [[MassOhCrap stare in dawning horror]] as the number of orders rapidly rises to [[DemandOverload tens and then]] ''[[DemandOverload hundreds]]'' [[DemandOverload of thousands]].

* The man asks for a chair. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIuTPKpQjI4 The crowd obliged, catapulting the seating for the first six rows in all directions.]] You never do see the two wrestlers on the mat escape the nigh-instant barrage. And it wasn't the only time...you'd think they'd have known after the first.

A SubTrope of LiteralGenie, putting it in the scientific category as opposed to BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor, which is when what the character wanted falls in their lap through coincidence or magic rather than their own planning and hard work. A Supertrope to TheGenieInTheMachine, where the machine does ''exactly'' what you told it to. Since {{Love Potion}}s never work, any one that "works as intended" will usually end up in this category. Often overlaps with DangerousForbiddenTechnique. Compare SpringtimeForHitler, WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong, NiceJobBreakingItHero, and HoistByHisOwnPetard. DidntThinkThisThrough often follows the realization of this trope. May become a GameBreaker. A form of {{invisibility|Cloak}} that the creators now can't find because it's invisible could be considered UselessUsefulStealth. Sometimes goes hand in hand with ALessonLearnedTooWell.

* RealLife: In 1964 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission adopted the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_Non-Duplication_Rule FM Non-Duplication Rule]], limiting owners of AM stations in large cities to simulcasting only 50% of their content on FM stations they owned. The idea was that, by requiring more original content on FM, a slow market for the technology would noticeably pick up.

* ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'': The eccentric inventor's food machine really works! Unfortunately, it works so well that it starts churning out superstorms of food big enough to crush landmarks and bury cities, causing an apocalypse on a global scale.

** In [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2020/07/19 this comic]], Garfield tries to lure a seagull with a slice of bread so he can catch it, only to get buried under an entire flock of Seagulls.

** In the 2014 birthday comic, [[http://gocomics.com/garfield/2014-06-19 Garfield changes the year on the calendar]], thinking he'll get younger on his birthday if he does so. It turns out this also affected Odie and Jon.

* ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat'': [[BigBad The Auditor]] started creating [[GiantMook magnified soldiers]] to combat [[DarkMessiah Jebus]], Hank, [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Sanford and Deimos]]. An "agent magnification chamber" was constructed to speed the process up, and for all we know it worked: Mag v4's were seen in action less than five minutes after the incomplete v3 was killed. What the Auditor didn't expect was the possibility that Deimos would use the chamber ''[[EmpoweredBadassNormal on Hank]]''.

** Sienna Khan was the first to push for the White Fang to be transformed into an organization that achieves Faunus equality through necessary violence. However, she despises unnecessary violence, which she feels Adam is engaging in. [[spoiler:Adam has embraced the cause so completely that he wants humanity to become the slaves to the Faunus and he feels that Sienna is holding the White Fang back from achieving its potential. He therefore murders her with the intention of turning her into a martyr that will empower the White Fang's resolve.]]

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', the point of Project Freelancer was to create an unstoppable super soldier. [[TemptingFate Guess how well that went?]]
