* TruTV's "[[The Smoking Gun Presents: World's Dumbest]]..." The comedians [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJR19aOHb5Y commenting] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l4mNXDDnFs the] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdA_JMsGoME stupidity] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvwuAhREm4k of] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPb7MrNhxHg each] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS0he4yN0Ak episode's] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPUS3XhwEro subject matter] [dumbest crinimals, drivers, partiers, mood swings, competitions, daredevils] also makes the entire series one big crowning moment of funny.
* Animals in the virtual fights in ''[[Animal Face-Off]]'' tend to act extremely dumb simply for the fight to turn out a certain way. Biggest example is with the hippo vs. bull shark episode. The bull shark bites the hippo, but fails to inflict any major damage (they tested a model shark mouth molded off a real one, and it couldn't open wide enough to bite a kayak, that's where it not being able to damage the hippo came from). The shark's response is too keep trying, and it achieves no success. The hippo, being surprisingly inactive at first, has enough and goes under to face the shark, which stupidly rushes right in the hippo's mouth and gets its skull crushed.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]' examples:
* In ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', there's an episode when a young girl's mom is captured by monsters. When the little girl ask another woman's help, the older woman says that there's no such things as monsters. This was midway through the season, after dozens of monsters had attacked the city.▼
** In the original ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', Rita's moronic lickspittles Squatt and Squatt and Baboo, possibly emphasized the most in the episode "Dark Warrior". Even most ''children'' know enough not to drink from a strange bottle without a label, but that's exactly what they do when she sent them to steal Trini's uncle's invisibility formula. You really couldn't blame her for chewing them out this time; fortunately for them, it only made them sick
** Not to mention that just a [[Power Rangers in Space|few years ago]], Earth was temporarily taken over by monsters.
** Not that the Rangers themselves don't fall into this occasionally. Also in the original series, in the second [[Halloween Episode]], Zordon ''specifically'' tells them what the rotted pumpkins are capable of face-hugging, yet all of them except Trini get too close when examining them, pretty much doing what he warned them not to. Fortunately for them, when it did happen, Trini had been smart enough to heed the warning.
** And this was the team-up episode, confirming that, yes, the last six seasons of monsters attacks did happen.

''And'' this was the team-up episode, confirming that, yes, the last six seasons of monsters attacks did happen... Long story short, it's with good reason that [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] named this lady '''"DUMBEST PERSON IN POWER RANGERS EVER."'''

** In the final episode of ''[[Power Rangers RPM]]'' [[Big Bad|Venjix]], Afterafter Gem and Gemma destroy the Control Tower's supports it takes about 45 seconds for it to fall from the roof of the dome to the ground, he just stands directly under the tower preparing for his [[Big No|demise]] when all he needed to do was survive it was to simply move out of the way, It's rather unbelievable that this was the being that destroyed the Earth yet he can't even see danger coming from a mile away. Of course, this ends up being subverted in the end as Dr. K shuts the briefcase containing the Ranger Series morphers . . . with [[The End - or Is It?|a familiar red glow]] emitting from Ranger Series Red's morpher, and with the Venjix leitmotif playing softly in the background.

* A particularly stupid example in ''[[Being Human (UK)]]'': Mitchell's ex-girlfriend sends him a DVD of what is essentially vampire porn (a recording of a man having sex with and then being murdered by a female vampire) and, in a moment of weakness, he decides to actually keep it for God-knows-what reason. The moment when he gets ''really'' stupid though is when he opts to hide the DVD in the box for a Laurel and Hardy movie. And then tells a young boy he's befriending to go ahead and borrow any Laurel and Hardy movie he wants. Cue the [[Paedo Hunt]]. George is rightly angry at this all, asking Mitchel "What else have you got up there, some German scat inside Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?"
** A similar story is used in the [[Being Human (USA)|American remake]], with the DVD being amongst [[The Three Stooges]].
