Line 115:
* Barbie in the third ''[[Toy Story]]'' movie, aside from being more of an [[Action Girl]] than you might expect, seems to have a bit of a knack for political science when the heroes confront the [[Big Bad]].
{{quote|'''Barbie:''' Authority should derive from the [[wikipedia:Consent of the governed|consent of the governed]], not from threat of force!}}
* Cleverly played with in the film ''[[Fool's Gold (film)|Fool's Gold]]'' with the character of [[Upper Class Twit|dim heiress]] Gemma. The female lead has been (impatiently) coaching Gemma she is smarter than she acts, so when Gemma has a sudden brainwave as the heroes return to their yacht the audience naturally expects some amazing insight that will find the treasure they have been searching for while confirming Gemma is more than just an airhead. Actually it turns out to be that Gemma has only just realized that the name of her father's ship ('The Precious Gem') is, get this, similar to ''her'' name.
* The 2008 movie version of ''[[Get Smart (film)|Get Smart]]'' casts Maxwell Smart as something like this in that; whilst he's notably clumsy and overconfident as a field agent, his abilities as an intelligence analyst are remarked upon by many characters as being the finest in the agency. They also come in useful in the field; {{spoiler|his in-depth understanding of and empathy with a [[Punch Clock Villain]] enables Smart to give him some relationship advice -- in return, the henchman spares Max and 99 and later tips Max off about a bomb in Los Angeles}}. Smart is also presented as being both surprisingly cunning and resourceful and a crack-shot, proving his usefulness to Agent 99.
* The [[Steve Martin]] reboot of ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' series portrays Inspector Clouseau as a clumsy [[Small Name, Big Ego]] type prone to brilliant strokes of inspiration.
