Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Skyrim]]'': Cicero the jester. He's a crazy loon dressed up like a complete idiot. He's also the Keeper of the Night Mother (meaning he was chosen by the Void to be the Night Mother's protector) and a deadly knife fighter. When he snaps after Astrid dismisses the Night Mother one time too many, he nearly kills the entire Dark Brotherhood in his fury. The guy who pursues him -- a ''werewolf'' -- nearly gets gutted for his troubles, {{spoiler|while Cicero is apparently unharmed though he plays possum.}}

* The shopkeeper from the ''[[Fantasy Quest]]'' turns out rather more adept that his demeanor suggests.

* Wheatley from ''Portal 2''. The "moron" is intentional as he's "the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived." This, however, precludes the fact that he was the person who woke Chell in the first place, willingly performed a series of personal efforts that he had been told would kill him, came up with the plan to {{spoiler|sabotage [[G La DOS]]'s turret production and neurotoxin production}}, sprung a well-played trap, and demonstrated an incredible amount of foresight when it came time for the final battle. {{spoiler|In the last case, [[Cutscene Power to the Max]] is the only reason Chell survives; without that, Wheatley would have succeed where [[G La DOS]] failed}}.
