== Fan Fics ==
* Takato and {{spoiler|Terriermon}} from Daneel Rush's ''[[Tamers Forever Series]]''.
* Wheatley in the ''[[Portal 2]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6953776/1/Test_Of_Humanity Test Of Humanity]''. He's normally a dim-witted [[Gentle Giant]]. But, push him too far, and he won't hesitate to punch you in the eye. {{spoiler|[[
* [[Dumb Blonde|Lindsay]] from [[Keepers of the Elements]] turns into this if you hit her [[Berserk Button]]. Although to be fair, {{spoiler|[[Took a Level in Jerkass|Courtney]]}} had it coming...
* [[Stealth Pun|Thunderhead]] from ''[[Rise of the Galeforces]]''. [[A Worldwide Punomenon|His name pretty much sums it all up.]]
Line 306:
* In ''[[Spaceballs]]'', when Vespa [[Berserk Button|takes a laser beam in the hairdo]], [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|she goes all Rambo and takes an entire platoon out.]]
* Subverted in ''[[Indiana Jones]] And The Last Crusade''. Indy has given his father's Grail Diary to Marcus Brody, an apparently goofy, harmless professor. The villains indicate that Brody will be easy to find, but Indy tells them that Brody fits this trope. {{spoiler|As it turns out, he does not.

'''Indiana Jones''': The hell you will. He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs. Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom, he'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again. With any luck, he's got the grail already. }}
* [[Dustin Hoffman]]'s character in ''[[Straw Dogs]]''.
Line 552:
* The shopkeeper from the ''[[Fantasy Quest]]'' turns out rather more adept that his demeanor suggests.
* Valvatorez from ''[[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]]'' is a gullible space-case Prinny Instructor that's more than a little bit preoccupied with sardines. He is ''also'' the only demon [[Makai Kingdom|The Most Badass Frickin' Overlord in All the Cosmos]] considers a [[Worthy Opponent]] -- [[Brought Down to Badass|and this is after he's been]] ''[[De-Power|depowered]]''.
* 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 [[
