Wrong duo, lol

* Quite a few characters in the film adaptation of ''[[Battle Royale]]''. Toshinori Oda probably takes the cake for surviving a burst of gunfire due to his bulletproof vest, then jumping up a few seconds later and loudly proclaiming "I'm alive!"

* In an opening scene of ''[[The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid II]]'', [[Evil Teacher| Kreese]] tries to punch [[Old Master| Mr. Miyagi]], who is standing in front of a car; [[Deadly Dodging| Miyagi simply moves aside]], and Kreese puts his fist through the car's window, badly cutting up his hand. ([[Soft Glass]] clearly not in effect.) Kreese doesn't know when to quit, and tries to punch him again, and ends up doing the same to his ''other'' hand! And to make it worse, he is still regretting his dumb move more than three decades later, as when he appears in ''[[Cobra Kai]]'', his hands are still badly scarred.

* [[Abbott and Costello]] were, of course, a comedy duo who made a living portraying two characters who were unbelievably stupid, but the most iconic example was in their 1932 short ''[[The Music Box]]''. The duo is trying to deliver a piano to a rich couple who lives in a home at the top of a very long stairway; after trying to carry it up there only to drop it five times, they finally get it up there where a postman tells them they didn't have to do it that way - there's a road that scales the hill they could have used to drive up there and park in front of the house. Of course, Abbot is ''very'' angry at his partner, but then they decide to carry it back ''down'' the hill and ''then'' drive it back up.
