The Ditz: Difference between revisions

* Brutally [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]] in ''[[Elfen Lied]]''. Director Kurama's ditzy secretary, Kisaragi, is decapitated by Lucy in the first 10 minutes of the show. She's [[Too Dumb to Live]].

** This isn't made better in the German dub, where one of her colleagues tells her "[[Funny Aneurysm Moment|Just don't lose your head]]." moments before.

* Joshua Lundgren in ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' straddles the line between ditz and [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. He once looked for Wendy by heading into every women's restroom in a train station, not understanding why the women were screaming until he got arrested for it.

* Kujyou Himeka from ''[[Kamichama Karin]]''.

* Arguably, the titular character from ''[[Yotsuba&! (Manga)|Yotsuba&!]]'' qualifies. Sure, she's five years old, but what kid that age doesn't even know how a swing works? She can also be led by the nose rather easily. Any moderately intelligent five-year-old would eventually figure out that cardbro is simply Miura in a cardboard box, for instance.

* [[Split Personality|Outer]] Moka from ''[[Rosario to Vampire]]'' has shades of this, especially early on. She matures a lot in the manga, but the anime [[Flanderization|takes this trait and runs with it]].

{{quote| '''Yanagin's Senpai:''' "Pretending to be an idiot who doesn't even know common knowledge<ref>Like not recognizing [[Oda Nobunaga]]</ref> is what makes high school girls cute! Listen up, their brains and eyes are directed [[Zettai Ryouiki|right here]]..."}}

** Ringo-chan is a straight example; she's not the brightest bulb in town. In ''High School Boys and Panties'' it took her an hour to diagnose the reason for a network problem: ''the wire was never plugged on''. Then she unwittingly flaunts her panties to Motoharu, the President and the Vice-President; fortunately for her she doesn't get to see them in the act, much less their [[Heel Realization|horrified reaction]].

** Though he turns out to be a bit of a [[Genius Ditz]] in Wake Up Ron Burgundy (a bonus 'film' on made of deleted Anchorman scenes)

* Virtually every character played by famed comedian Lou Costello of the [[Abbott and Costello]] comedy duo. Occasionally he will even lampshade ''himself'', such as when one of his characters in the film ''Who Done It?'' turns on a radio and hears "Who's on First?" (one of Abbott and Costello's most famous routines) and immediately turns it off, remarking how stupid the "short, chubby guy" (actually Costello himself) is.

{{quote| '''Bullshot''': "I see. You intend taking on the Most Dangerous Man in Europe by yourself do you? Have you given a moment's thought as to what you intend using for brains?"<br />

'''Rosemary''': "How dare you! I've done pretty well without brains so far!" }}

{{quote| '''Ed:''' Sir, I called the number, like, 95 times. I practically had it memorized.}}

* Karen from ''[[Mean Girls]]''.

** Her [[Trans Atlantic Equivalent]], Else Garrett of ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]]'', really wasn't one, despite her husband's frequent references to her as a "silly moo".

* Mrs. Eunice "Lovey" Wentworth Howell, from ''[[Gilligans Island]]''.

* Vera from ''[[Alice]]''.

* Bull Shannon from ''[[Night Court]]''.

== Music ==

* '''Cause I'm a Blonde'' by [[Julie Brown]]. "Because I'm blonde, I don't have to think, I talk like a baby, and never pay for drinks..."

{{quote| "I never really thought about what I wanted to do after school, though ... I've never really thought about anything, as far as I can remember."}}

** He is, however, implied to have some [[Hidden Depths]], as he is still capable of composing stunning music and saying some surprisingly philosophical things once in a blue moon. 2D may be more of a [[Genius Ditz]] or [[Brilliant but Lazy]], when he's not thick with painkillers.

 

== Visual Novels ==

 

 

* Gerold and Mr. Heelo from ''[[The Goode Family]]''

* Sandra from ''[[Will and Dewitt]]''.

** I wouldn't say that. She's extremely intelligent, just fucking insane.

** Derpy/Ditzy, as seen in her recent debut as a main character.
