Insufferable Genius: Difference between revisions

* ''[[In Death]]'': Dick "Dickhead" Berenski. He has an egg-shaped head, he is considered creepy by a number of characters, he whines a lot about how every cop expects him to put his or her case at the top of the list, and he often has to be bribed with alcohol, sports tickets, and what have you to get him to put said case to the top of the list.

"You're good...but you don't have a twelth level intelligence." "A twelth level intelligence has no need for improvisation, Bouncing Boy." Gaaaah.

* Rainbow Dash of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Her introduction boils down to:
