They say not to count your chickens before they hatch. ‘Cause by doing so, you raise the chances for an instant loss of karma, dignity, and self-confidence, like, triple.
If you've ever been near the finish line raising your arms high in the sky, only to feel a cold wave of wind passing through while you enjoy the moment of not-earned victory, you need no further explanation. And if you are one of the lucky ones who hasn’t had their fair share of premature celebration-turned nightmare, please stay that way and keep on scrolling to see what not to do to become one of many.
Thanks to the subreddit r/Prematurecelebration, we now have the full-on archive of cringey glory that is a product of people celebrating just a microscopic little bit too early. So you'd better get ready to crack up big time.

Random Selection
To find out more about the community behind the r/Prematurecelebration subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, u/N8theGr8, who was happy to share some insights.
The mod told us that the subreddit was created by u/potato88, who’s now a suspended user, back in 2013. Some time ago, though, the subreddit had no moderators, so the admins gave it to the current mod team, u/N8theGr8 said.
But since the subreddit revolves around a “kind of niche topic,” it’s not as active as it could be. “But we have half a million subscribers and it stays relatively active,” they added. Right now, the subreddit has 525k members in total and their community is still growing.

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company
When asked about the whole concept of premature celebration that the subreddit as all about, the moderator explained that it “just means celebrating some kind of win or victory before you really should.”
“Like a guy who runs a race and then slows down right at the end to do a victory jump and throw his arms in the air, only to be passed by the 2nd-place guy who then wins the race. Or 'Dewey Defeats Truman' newspaper held up by President Truman.”

Not true! She's already President of the "I Hate Donald Trump" club.

Well, to be honest she won popular vote. I'll never understand Electoral College- weird system...
Many countries have federal elements like that - the idea is that there is a better balance between states/regions with a high population and those with a low one. Actually a stabilizing element.

Wishing yourself a happy birthday on socail media is cringe no matter who does it.
Won the popular vote... Should have been... The world we could have lived in...
@Scyth I’m not a fan of Hilary but even I know that wouldn’t have happened. She had a stable diplomatic relationship with Russia and China. She had pledged to uphold the U.S. commitment to the Iran nuclear deal. Trump on the other hand withdrew from the deal because he believed, without evidence, that Iran had already violated their conditions. In reality, the results of two audits endorsed by every other country involved in the deal provided conclusive evidence that Iran was compliant. Because of Trump’s withdraw, Iran retaliated by increasing their stockpile and exceeded their limit within months. Tensions between our two countries escalated and became so volatile that in February 2020, the Senate was forced to take emergency action and blocked Trump from ordering a military attack on Iran. Why? Because if he attacked, China, North Korea, and Russia had warned they’d come to Iran’s aid. All three countries are in possession of nuclear weapons. Trump would’ve started a global nuclear war.

To be fair, she did get 3 million more votes than her opponent did - it was the electoral college that handed the election to him.
It's very common for political campaigns to refer to the candidate as "future president" "next president" etc.
True, but the candidate usually says something like "if I am so fortunate to be selected..."

It’s hilarious that Trump supporters deny it and spent 4 years calling us crybabies and snowflakes, but adamantly believe the Democrats stole Trump’s win and then invaded a government building to prevent Biden from being officially declared the victor.

I don’t care if you’re a Republican or Democrat - HC should never have been in the running for President. I just cannot fathom, out of a country as big as the US, these latest candidates are all they have to offer. My pet snail could do a better job and make more sense when they speak to the public.
Yep, too much influence peddling, too much appetite for celebrity candidates, way too much polarization. We need ranked choice voting in all elections and primaries!

The votes came in, in her favor though. Just not the electoral college
Load More Replies...
Welp - even though I'd rather have voted for Bernie I voted for you. And, because of the useless m***********g electoral college we had to put up with trumps bullshit for four f*****g years.
This seems fake. I don't think that she'd make this post about herself. I could see one of her staff doing it, though.
Thank god this didn't come to past. Then again Trump was straight ASS!
But, the future is still ahead. In the future. Who's to say she won't be?
She was on the road to succes and came so close, she could almost taste it...only to find out all roads actually lead to...Rome.
I personally feel (as a non-US citizen) that she was the lesser of two evils BY FAR...
I seriously thought she was going to win. I went to bed on election night before everything was decided and was shocked to wake up the next morning to find that Trump had won.
Even though he LOST the popular vote by 3 million. :-(

She’s a morally bankrupt opportunist who’s as corrupt and venal as her boob husband. The shady deals, the lies, the cynical manipulations, the assault she launched on Lewinsky and Flowers with her well-financed political smear machine… and much of this criticism comes from the Left. It’s only the blind tribalist democrats who have no clue what kind of person she really is
Load More Replies...
Well, technically she did win. It's just our electoral college is rigged.
Uh, it's not like she's dead. This could be a very prescient tweet!
Hilary was once a good little girl but all that changed when she stepped into the Twillight Zone...
So the f**k what? She LOST the Electoral College vote- the one that actually mattered. She KNEW it was the vote that mattered before her campaign started and now she (and you) want to piss and moan about losing a game you know the rules to. Instead of being a grown-up about it, you follow Trumple Foreskin's example of blaming everyone BUT the person responsible. You f*****g baby.

Oh so arrogant, not like that humble Trump. Such a kind, humble, man, so caring. Could murder someone on 5th Avenue and no one would care.

she was such a cute child wow.... who would've guessed she's turn out like this XD
Never should of been the candidate, Bernie should of been. Hillary is part of the reason Trump got in
This is exactly right. The democrats had a sure win in '16. Trump was such a cartoonish oaf he should've been slaughtered in a landslide. They utterly blew it by putting her out there. Just how despised do you have to be to lose to Grab Her By The Pussy Jesus?

Well, at least they can now rememeber the original date they were supposed to marry.
The redditor u/N8theGr8 continued: “When you're so close to the end that victory looks assured is when a lot of people let their guard down, and don't have the situational awareness to realize that someone else is trying to win too. It's fine to celebrate early, but make sure you're in a safe position to do so.”

"Everything Was Better In The 90's"
In their stupid fear of communism the USA created a much more dangerous enemy. You can negotiate with political 'enemies', but you cannot negotiate with religious fascists and madmen. Very similar to Cuba - in the beginning Castro only wanted to get rid of the corrupt US-backed mafia regime. Same with Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh and his people only wanted to be free, and when the USA were hostile, the USSR and China took the chance. Afghanistan? The USA supported everyone fighting against the USSR, but during this time afghan women had the same rights as men, children were sent to school.

But according to the moderator, there’s a small difference between an early celebration and a premature celebration. And that is the upsetting feeling that comes in the end.
“There's an element of schadenfreude involved. Also, it kinda sounds like 'premature ejaculation,' which I bet was a pun the creator intentionally set up,” they explained about the title.
The redditor’s favorite post is this one, because they said: “I think it really embodies celebrating before you should (even though I voted for her).”
Not That Sweet After All
I really wish there had been some explanation on the sports ones. Not all of us are in the USA and following US sports competitions.
I just saw rollerblading and Toronto Blue Jays. I don’t know where rollerblading is popular, but I would be surprised to learn that Toronto is in the USA🤷

Sooo many people breaking the law and telling the world how "smart" they are. Sigh......
Something cringeworthy makes you cringe. "Cringey" is not a word. Honestly.
QAnon should be added to this. The weeping "what just happened?" looks on the faces of these slobbering idiots the moment Biden got sworn in was priceless.
I'm not into sports at all but I got the sports ones and still find them funny. Most of these are self explanatory, for example its obvious "the fourth" meant the game was still going. I don't need to follow American football to figure that out. As for the gaming ones, lots of people provided context to them. Just because you don't like sports and games doesn't mean the compilation was bad.
