* The ED-209 from ''[[Robocop]]'' can't be held accountable for its incompetence because it was a mindless machine, but it was clearly a poorly designed one. Its logic circuits could not process information as quickly as a human brain (making it dumber than even a PC bought from a Radio Shack in the 80s) and could not even maneuver itself down a flight of stairs, which is exactly how the protagonist defeated it. |

* The eponymous monsters in ''[[Attack of the Killer Donuts]]''. They manage to kill a few humans (mostly folks that had it coming, and one of the heroes who makes a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to stop them) but most of the intended victims are able to swat them aside with relative ease. In the end, living, evil donuts aren't very dangerous. |
