** 4Kids: This version borders on [[Ass Pull]], as she sees the puzzle and says, "Remember that field trip [to a history museum] we took for magic history class?... Rememeber that civilization that spoke with colors?... They used hue and pattern to communicate, something I'm quite fluent in." She solves the puzzle, prompting one of the non-main pixies to comment, "She's so knowledgeable about magic history. I'm impressed." Having Stella be fluent in hue and pattern allowing her to solve the puzzle is understandable, but for it to hinge on a previously unmentioned, much less seen, field trip (not to mention Stella suddenly demonstrating knowledge of magic history)? Not so much.

* Done [[Rule of Funny|for laughs]] in the [[Powerpuff Girls]] when Him tells the girls has the the Professor in "the place where it's boiling and freezing at the same time". The girls rack their brains trying to figure it out only for [[Cloudcuckoolander|the Mayor]] [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|to appear out of nowhere]] and claim that converting the boiling and freezing points of water into geographical coordinates points to a Townsville street. "Or maybe [[Fridge Logic|there's an ice cream truck on fire]]".
* Happens fairly often in ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'', due to many characters being a [[Genius Ditz]] to some degree. Hank is one of the more consistently stupid characters, but occasionally pulls out a bit of obscure knowledge that the adults can't even fathom where he would have picked it up. [[Jerkass|Dermott]] also surprisingly once gave some very competent advice on relationships to the brothers, prompting amazement from them, as he usually doesn't know ''anything''.
* In ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League]]'', the Flash is typically portrayed as just a goofball [[Plucky Comic Relief]], but he has instances of outwitting other villains, one of whom was an alternate version of Batman. Granted, the regular Batman admits that he could not predict the Flash either. He has another instance later in the same episode where he tries to convince the alternate [[Knight Templar]] Superman that killing him is something he would never do because how the death of his Flash hurt him. That, unfortunately, merely prompts the other Superman to reply "I've done [[Moral Event Horizon|a lot of things]] that I thought I'd never do these past two years. One more won't hurt."
