* Pierce on ''[[Community]]''. Even though this is obvious pretty much from the beginning, the other characters still listen to him from time to time, largely because his lackluster knowledge is still the only knowledge about a topic anyone has and because he [[Dumbass Has a Point|very occasionally has a good point.]] |

* In an episode of ''[[Hannah Montana]]'', Hannah has found that kids will emulate just about everything she does, and is afraid to ever express her opinions or preferences on television. As such, Robbie Ray enlists Jackson to school her in the fine art of obfuscation. Of course, it backfires horribly, and Hannah ends up delivering the episode's [[Aesop]] about [[Be Yourself|being yourself]] instead. |

* ''[[That 70s Show]]'': [[Magnificent Bastard|Hyde]] has made a sport out of giving his friends faulty advice for the amusement of seeing them make jackasses of themselves. His favorite target is Kelso (who still listens because he's [[The Ditz|so irremediably stupid]],) though he enjoys tormenting [[Funny Foreigner|Fez]] almost as much. |

* Colonel Rodney Crittendon from ''[[Hogan's Heroes]]''. This re-occuring character was in some ways the Allies answer to the German's Colonel Klink. This British officer would get captured frequently and sent to Stalag 13 with Hogan and his crack team of deep cover saboteurs. He was technically higher ranked then Colonel Hogan (by date of promotion, as Crittendon would frequently remind Hogan) and would often usurp Hogan's Authority. Crittendon was just too incompetent and genre-blind to be anything less then a complete hindrance, though the clever spies would occasionally manage to use his bumbling stupidity to their advantage. What makes him an Obi Wannabe is the endless string of bad ideas and plans he would concoct for the "escape" from the POW camp: Unbeknownst to Crittendon, Hogan and his team have no intention of escaping, as the very premise of the show consists in them using the fact that they were under the supervision of the incompetent Commandant Klink and the incredibly lazy and corruptible Sergeant Shultz to launch various sabotage and subterfuge operations from deep within Nazi territory. |

* Mr. Blanket, Seven Seas High's guidance counselor from [[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|The Suite Life On Deck]], is himself certifiably insane, distracts people when they examine his credentials, and despite having written a book on them, his methods are questionable at best. |
