* In a similar case to the Jon Arbuckle example, [[Daffy Duck]] was [[Flanderization|Flanderized]] into being perhaps one of the unluckiest [[Looney Tunes]] characters ever and was paired up with [[Bugs Bunny]] in several cartoons to show how much more cunning and savvy Bugs was compared to Daffy.

Spongebob is frequently shown to be a brainless irritance to everyone around him, though often looks rather down to earth and clever compared to Patrick, a [[Too Dumb to Live]] [[Lazy Bum]]. Squidward seems to work as one for either of them in that, despite being far more intelligent and sane, is the universe's defining [[Butt Monkey]], with Spongebob and Patrick often playing [[The Fool]] against him.
