Idiot Ball/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

** Also, once Obi-Wan and Anakin ''were'' drugged, they seemed to magically forget that Jedi have poison-neutralizing powers.

* Every character in the original ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon]]'' would carry the ball when the plot required. A stand-out moment includes a scene in the series' third episode, when, left to their own devices in April's apartment, the turtles suddenly become retards: Leonardo begins throwing tubes of lipstick at a painting, calling it "target practice"; Raph interprets "insert capful of Shampoo into tub" as referring to an actual baseball cap; Donny starts fiddling with April's answering machine with no regard as to her privacy; and Mikey proves incapable of making instant pizza which he had no permission to touch. April is understandably furious.

* ''[[Transformers Generation 1]]'': Optimus Prime gets whacked ''hard'' in the face with this in the episode "Heavy Metal War". He's been fighting Megatron for centuries, long enough to know which powers Megatron does and doesn't have...and yet he doesn't realise that Megatron cheated during a one-on-one battle until Teletraan-1 spells it out for him. Even though Megatron uses powers that he has ''never used before.''
