Dumb Blonde: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Cutey Honey]]'' is a borderline case, because she's blond only in civilian ID (and not in live action). Ditziness (and whether it's real or [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]) will also vary depending on the version of the character.

* Misa Amane from ''[[Death Note]]''. Then again, next to L or Light, pretty much ''anyone'' would look dumb by proxy.

* Feliks/Poland from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' is a perfect example...he needed someone to turn the table while he was standing on it to screw in a ligthbulb.

** Poland was still smart enough to {{spoiler|buy time for Lithuania to pull his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] in the Battle of Tannenburg, doing so and remaining more or less calm while ''Prussia was pointing a sword at him''}}. That, and the whole series pokes fun at stereotypes of all kinds; his supposed stupidity is actually [[Played for Laughs]], and nations with ''other'' hair colors can be just as dumb (re: Italy, a brunette (redhead in the anime) who's pretty much [[The Ditz]]).

* Subverted in ''[[Superman III]]''. Pamela Stephenson's character displays all the traits of a dumb blonde when other people are around. When she's alone, though, she likes to kick back and read philosophy. Interestingly, the actress herself tired of playing blond comedy bimbos and is now a psychologist.

* [[Nicole Kidman]] plays a rare outright villainous Dumb Blonde in ''[[To Die For]]''. Rarer yet, she is also the [[Villain Protagonist|main character]].

* [[Dead Set|"Do you even understand what is going on here, or is the whole world just colours and shapes and the occasional noise in your head?"]]

* Mia from ''[[Stan Helsing]]''.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rNfZxgkH7k "Cause I'm a Blond"] from ''[[Earth Girls Are Easy]]'' sums up the the stereotype quite nicely.

* Parodied with Lt. Tawny Madison in ''[[Galaxy Quest]]''.

** In her review of ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'', [[The Nostalgia Chick]] asks why she [[Typecasting|always gets the role]] of the "hot airhead".

* To show that this doesn't just refer to women, look at just about every role Owen Wilson has had.

* Tatum Riley from the 1996 film ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' falls into this category, {{spoiler|especially during her death scene}} - the prime example of this being that, {{spoiler|when confronted with the garage door as her only means of escape, she chooses to try and squeeze through the small pet-flap instead of simply lift the door and run away. And to top it all off, she doesn't even call for help until she's already trapped, with the garage door taking her upwards, moments from death}}!

* Kevin in the 2016 [[Continuity Reboot|reboot]] of ''[[Ghostbusters (2016 film)|Ghostbusters]]'' is an extremely rare male example of the Dumb Blonde who is ''so'' dumb that they shouldn't be allowed out without a minder.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* Illumina in ''[[Sidekick Girl]]''

* Kim of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131206160056/http://thinks.com/family-fun/kim-and-jason.htm Kim & Jason]'' may qualify, as despite being 4 years old, she once ran a presidential campaign — with a toy skunk as her running mate.

* Gertrude from ''[[The KAMics]]'', although [[Word of God]] is that if he knew she would end up that dumb, he would have given her another hair color.

* While not blond, ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' is yellow with [[Blue Eyes]], which makes him fit the stereotype. He's an [[Idiot Hero]] and [[Flanderization|got worse after the movie]]. Possibly averted, since every time he's shown with hair, he's a brunet.

* ''[[Johnny Test]]''.
