Chaotic Stupid: Difference between revisions

* Tednugent, the long-suffering protagonist of [[Interactive Fiction]] Fanfic Parody [https://web.archive.org/web/20130916113941/http://www.thelittlestmurloc.com/ You Awaken In Razor Hill] is repeatedly forced into this trope and this sort of behavior, as a character whose actions were controlled by the whims of the readers of the story. Many of them - MANY of them - chose to Command Ted to do outright moronic things regardless of the severity of any given situation he was in - such as Commandingcommanding him to challenge the story's [[Big Bad]], [[Implacable Man|Pyramid Hogger]] to a 'yo momma' contest, or licking things that '''ought not to be licked'''. This led to a small [[Writer Revolt]] when the 'Narrator' (the author of the story) began to respond to the more ridiculously self-destructive commands with some fairly brutal consequences.

* ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]'' is known to feature shenanigans of this sort. They were quite prevalent during [[Problem Sleuth]], when the comment boxes were open and everything was explicitly coming from player suggestions; sometimes, if the characters really insisted on being engaged in something productive, the players would bid the character continue with what they were doing, but in a sillier manner. ''[[Homestuck]]'' had a few really good ones early on, before Hussie locked the suggestion boxes, but here and there you still get someone being a bit of a dipshit.

* [[Tempting Fate|God help us]] [[Speak of the Devil|for saying this]], but [[Image Boards|4Chan]] and the [[Hive Mind]] Anonymous have this sort of reputation when it comes to official authority... exceptwith fora thehandful timesof whenexceptions theysuch demonstrate that [[Chaotic Good|they aren't ALL bad]].as [[wikipedia:Timeline of events involving Anonymous#Chris Forcand arrest|This]]the canChris beForcand considered A [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarmingarrest]]/ [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], if you weren't entirely convinced.

* ''[[Transformers Animated]]'''s* Wreck-Gar is highly suggestible, which makes him very insane and utterly hilarious to watch. "[["Weird Al" Yankovic|I DARE to be stupid!]]" indeed.

** The eponymous character of ''[[Invader Zim]]'' has repeatedly shown himself to be [[Determinator|determined]] enough to not only ''easily'' conquer Earth but the entire ''galaxy'', - and yet his impetuous nature and his COMPLETE''complete'' lack of consideration for the consequences of his actions results in [[General Failure|utter failure]] and/or [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds|the deaths of people he WASN'T'wasn't'' trying to kill]].
