Line 65:
* Jar Jar Binks from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' prequel trilogy.
** There was even an early [http://www.space.com/sciencefiction/movies/jar_jar_holy_fool_000414.html wild guess] that he's secretly a Force-user, because he's ''suspiciously'' lucky:
{{quote| Jar Jar Binks takes out droids as fast as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan do, and he's not even trying.}}
** In an episode of ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'', a Clone Trooper captain has apparently been Jar Jar's bodyguard long enough to accurately predict when the Gungan's antics will defeat the enemy. However, the captain wrongly believes that Jar Jar [[Obfuscating Stupidity|isn't as stupid as he seems]].
{{quote| There was a rumor that Jar Jar's character development was supposed to be highlighted into a transformation had the fan base not hated him. He was actually supposed to become a tragic character - becoming a Dark Jedi out of his grief from {{spoiler|Padme's death and Anikin's movement to the dark side.}}}}
* Scrat from ''[[Ice Age]]'', although he's half fool and half desperate for nuts.
* The main character of ''[[The People Under the Stairs]]'', and also happens to be his name.
Line 115:
== [[Machinima]] ==
* The eponymous character from ''[[Freemans Mind]]'' is anything but kind or inherently good-natured, but the vast majority of his progress through the series is through sheer dumb luck. Often times, he clears the way forward by doing seemingly random, unrelated things or just wandering around aimlessly until he finds somewhere he hasn't been already.

Line 158:
== Web Animation ==
* The eponymous character from ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', especially in the earlier cartoons, when Homestar would always beat Strong Bad, no matter how much Strong Bad cheated; Homestar was eventually [[Flanderization|flanderized]] into a character [[The Ditz|too stupid to know when he'd lost]], which also frustrated Strong Bad's efforts.
{{quote| '''Strong Bad:''' It's like, even when we win, he wins.}}
* Pretty much every character in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' is [[The Fool]]. Caboose starts out as one as well, but he quickly descends to pure idiocy.
