== Anime and Manga ==
* Wrath from [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|the 2003 anime adaptation]] of [[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] is this due to his utter lack of impulse control or thinking things through. To illustrate, he fused with Trisha Elric's remains to prevent them from being used on his mother surrogate Sloth. {{spoiler|After he got done killing Lust, he fuses with Sloth while both her and Ed know what that would do, merging her with the remains and leaving her paralyzed, allowing Ed to finish her off.}}

* [[Deadpool]] is the face of Chaotic Stupid in modern comics [[Depending on the Writer]]. He beat the Taskmaster (whose power is an almost supernatural ability to "read" and understand the fighting styles of his opponent) in hand-to-hand combat by taking a break in their fight to dance and otherwise make himself unpredictable. He even begins his gambit by pushing a female X-men member through a skylight into a indoor pool entirely filled with pancakes. Which were only there in the first place because he just suddenly decided to make a few thousand pancakes when he woke up that day. Then again this from the guy who [[No Fourth Wall|knows he's in a comic book]]. Maybe he's [[Genre Savvy|onto something]].
** It gets taken to 11 when he fights Evil Deadpool.

*** In fact, 4th edition gave Slaadi the official alignment of [[Chaotic Evil]] (they were traditionally [[Chaotic Neutral]]) because they are so Chaotic Stupid that they want to tear down all of the rules everywhere... Including the rules that keep the very fabric of existence functioning. [[For the Lulz]].
* ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'' [[
* A good part of why Chaos hasn't yet conquered the galaxy in [[Warhammer 40,000]] is because of this, the four main gods simply hate one another too much to allow alliances to continue very long.
** It's not that they hate each other. [[Enemy Civil War|Well, they actually do, but]] it's more that they cannot '''EVER''' be organised. It's called [[Shaped Like Itself|Chaos]] for a reason, ya know?
** Tzeentche may or may not be actively preventing a solid Chaos victory with his plots, because [[Victory Is Boring]].
== Toys ==
* Vezon from ''[[Bionicle]]''. He's an insane, [[Ax Crazy]] [[Cloudcuckoolander]] [[Genius Ditz]] [[You Talk Too Much|who talks too much]] and suffers from [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]], and yet he's not powerful enough to pose a serious threat to anyone, so he's generally been [[Played for Laughs]] for the past few years of the story.
== Video Games ==

* Also known as "[http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/File:MPost8239-Spider%2Ejpg Psychotic Neutral]".
* Everyone in ''The [[Binder of Shame]]''. "We're Chaotic Neutral, that's practically a get-out-of-plot-developments-free card!" Blobert Smith has a particular tendency to this, his roleplaying described as being like a cross between regular gaming and performance art. Some of the other players come across this way in their real-life personae.
* 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
* ''[[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.
* [[
* Much of the ''[[SMG4 (web video)|SMG4]]'' series universe runs on this - Bowser, Wario, Bob... even [[Only Sane Man|Meggy]] has her moments. Perhaps the most prominent example is Mario himself: He has a constant hunger for spaghetti and mushrooms, enjoys riding his kart in circles, abuses Yoshi (while singing the famous ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' melody) because he is too lazy to walk by himself, [[Naked People Are Funny|undresses randomly]] in public, etc. An adventure with him ''never'' gets boring, at least. However, ''[[Berserk Button|never]]'' [[Beware the Silly Ones|get between]] him and his spaghetti!
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[Transformers Animated]]'':
*
** Blitzwing's Random face usually falls in this category as well.
* ''[[Invader Zim]]'':
** The eponymous character
*** Perhaps the best example of this for Zim is the incomplete episode "The Trial", where he invented an Infinite Energy Absorbing Monster solely to impress his superiors; it does [[Gone Horribly Right|exactly what it would be expected to do]], killing Zim's fellow scientists and even one of the Irken leaders, then her counterpart not long after, then most of the Irken armada...
** [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot|GIR]] is an even more extreme example, due to his [[The Ditz|utter lack of reasoning capabilities]] [[The Hedonist|or self-restraint]].
* And in another, and even more outrageous [[Richard Horvitz]]-voiced case of random stupidity: [[The Grim Adventures of Billy
* [[Beavis and Butthead]] epitomize this trope.
* IR Baboon from ''[[I Am Weasel]]''.
