Line 309:
* In the [[DuckTales (2017)|''DuckTales'' relaunch]], the leaders of F.O.W.L. try very hard to avoid this, their preferred methods being global domination through subtlety and subterfuge. Unfortunately, they just can't seem to keep their agents from [[They Just Don't Get It|acting like open and blatant supervillains]], which tends to [[Surrounded by Idiots|cause their carefully-planned schemes to collapse into chaos]]. In fact, Bradford - the founder of the group - had simply wanted to call it O.W.L. (Organization for World Larceny) only adding the "F" - for "Fiendish" - in order to convince [[Dark Action Girl|Black Heron]] to join them.
* Bullies tend to be [[Dumb Muscle]] types, but Flats the Flounder from the aptly-named ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode "The Bully" emphasizes the "dumb" part. And he's ''pretty'' dumb. It's unknown why he's so dead-set on flattening SpongeBob, but he spends ''days'' trying to do so using [[Good Old Fisticuffs]], never seeming to realize that SpongeBob is, well, a sponge. After several days of this and it never sinking in that he's not hurting his victim much, Flats collapses from exhaustion.
* The Pakleds were intentionally designed to fit this Trope when they first appeared in ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''; when they started appearing as recurring villains in ''[[Star Trek: Lower Decks]]'', the [[Denser and Wackier]] nature of the series let the writers have a ''lot'' of fun with their buffoonery, like say, one of them mistaking an airlock for a rest room (and having to be rescued by the heroes) and testing a bomb, only to discover bombs are not reusable. Often they can be so [[Laughably Evil]] they're [[Dumb Is Good| almost lovable]].
