*** What makes the above example even more ridiculous is that his reaction to experiencing those traumatising memories was to hallucinate, pick up a phaser and hold Naomi hostage in the Mess Hall, believing he was protecting children in a combat-zone. It took a while for Tuvok to talk him down. And that is one of the memories you want someone ''else'' to remember? The poor sod who next undergoes that could easily kill half of his crew, blow a hole in the side of the ship or get himself shot!
*** Also, is asking someone who witnessed the destruction of his homeworld, and has demonstrated long-lasting psychological scars from that event on more than one occasion, really the best person to give advice on subjecting people's mental health to images of a massacre? You'd think, given his background, he'd be against this?!
*** That's a typical busybody [[commissar]], what's about the plot?
* In ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', GOB routinely screws up Michael's plans to save the company, week after week after week, even to the point of undoing what good Michael has achieved. Given how often this occurs, it is surprising that Michael always has a change of heart right after he decides to finally get rid of GOB for good. Indeed, the humor of the series mainly stems from the [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]] that Michael should stop caring about his family, but he is unable to.
** If only [[Only Sane Man|Michael]] had moved away from his incompetent, irresponsible and immoral family, he wouldn't have to deal with their shenanigans. To his credit, he did try to leave in the beginning of season two. But the SEC was extra suspicious at that point.

* Most Pokémon villainous groups are [[Card-Carrying Villain|professional bastards]] or [[Unwitting Pawn|tools]] for the head honcho to use in his own malicious plot, and stay to the shadows for their work. And then there's [[Pokémon Black and White|Ghetsis]], whose very first act is to go on a cross-region tour and profess Pokémon liberation to the people of Unova. Unfortunately, nobody even ''thinks'' to bring up a valid counterpoint to Pokémon liberation - a good example is that it makes it easier for villainous groups (like, surprise surprise, Team Plasma) to steal and abuse Pokémon for their own benefit. Had someone brought up a convincing counterpoint, Ghetsis could have been forced to take his plot back to the shop, if not outright derail it altogether.
* ''[[Terraria]]'' has the "Guide" who does things like letting monsters into your safe house, prompting many a player to think this trope.

* ''[[Vexxarr]]'' had a [http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=112111 moment] when AI was mocking ''Star Trek'' about this:
{{quote|'''Carl''': It's like they were so confused by the weird conundrums [[Misapplied Phlebotinum|inherent in their wacky technology]] that they couldn't see the solution staring them right in the ''face''.
'''Vexxarr''': Wait, I thought that show was ''all about'' solving weird and needlessly complex problems.
'''Carl''': Complex? ''BAH!'' }}
