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.

This is pretty close to the premise of Good Omens if I'm remembering correctly.

And a good number of other Terry Pratchett books!
