Mistaken for Badass: Difference between revisions

This can be done completely straight in an action movie or drama, with the character panicking once he realizes just what he's gotten into. On the flip side, this can be amazingly funny in a comedy by using both slapstick methods of beating or killing opponents, and making fun of all these "professional" organizations out to get our hero.

* ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' is a poster boy for this trope, though he is ''occasionally'' competent.

* In the ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'' episode ''Bombad Jedi'', Jar Jar Binks is mistaken for a Jedi in a Separatist-occupied city because he slipped which led to him dodging an attack and he was wearing a cloak. The guards were none too bright. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity]] (and heroism) ensues.
