Stupid Good: Difference between revisions

Line 171:

* An episode of ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' began with a fairy breaking [[Beware of Vicious Dog|Earl the Tough Dog]] free from the science lab in hopes that he will mend his ways. As soon as she does, [[Too Dumb to Live|he promptly eats her.]]

* Phineas from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' is such an optimist that he has a hard time comprehending that the bad guys aren't his friends.

* In the ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' episode "Operation: E.N.D." Chad appears to betray the organization and join the villains, attempting to have the Sector V team decomissioned, and as a final way of proving it, uses a code that detaches the Moonbase from his foundation and sends to hurtling towards the sun, and act that seems to push him past the [[Moral Event Horizon]]. A later episode, however, shows that Chad is, in fact, a [[Fake Defector]], having done this to prove loyalty to the villains while assuming - rightfully - that Numbuh One would manage to save the day. Still, in hindsight, this was a pretty dumb plan, because while he did convince almost everyone... "What if Numbuh One ''couldn't'' save the day?" ~~After~~ ~~all~~, he was the only member of Sector V who had not gotten the [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] treatment, meaning he was the only one who knew where they were and how anything on the base worked, while Numbuh 86 and her crew had no plan except panicking like ''actual'' children. There were so many potential ways this could have gone wrong that would have done more damage to the KND than ''any'' actual villain could have.

Still, in hindsight, this was a pretty dumb plan, because while he did convince almost everyone... "What if Numbuh One ''couldn't'' save the day?" While Numbuh One is [[Famed in Story]], he would be the first one to tell you he is ''not'' the [[Boring Invincible Hero]] type, there are ''many'' episodes where his paranoia and impulsiveness have caused him to make mistakes that caused a mission to be botched. In this specific case he was the only member of Sector V who had not gotten the [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] treatment, meaning he was the only one who knew where they were and how anything on the base worked, while Numbuh 86 and her crew had no plan except panicking like ''actual'' children. There were so many potential ways this could have gone wrong that would have done more damage to the KND than ''any'' actual villain could have.

* [[Friendly Neighborhood Vampire| Mavis]] from ''[[Hotel Transylvania]]''. Sure, she’s a [[Nice Girl]] and has good intentions, trying to establish peace between humans and monsters, but her reaction to [[Dracula| her dad’s]] attempts to dissuade her shows that she is sadly very gullible, and being over a hundred years old, you start to think she isn’t very bright. The biggest example occurs when he uses a bunch of zombies disguised as human to pull off the whole [[Torches and Pitchforks]] routine, and botch it by setting themselves on fire. Not only does Mavis not get the hint, she panics because she thinks she inadvertently killed them.
