Any books where the villains plans fall hilariously apart on their own? (sh.itjust.works)

Curious if anyone could recommend any books where the bad guys fail more by just repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot, then anything the protagonist does to try to stop them.

I would say that there’s definitely a moment like this (for a loose interpretation) in When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
