Line 141:
* Animals in the virtual fights in ''[[Animal Face-Off]]'' tend to act extremely dumb simply for the fight to turn out a certain way. Biggest example is with the hippo vs. bull shark episode. The bull shark bites the hippo, but fails to inflict any major damage (they tested a model shark mouth molded off a real one, and it couldn't open wide enough to bite a kayak, that's where it not being able to damage the hippo came from). The shark's response is too keep trying, and it achieves no success. The hippo, being surprisingly inactive at first, has enough and goes under to face the shark, which stupidly rushes right in the hippo's mouth and gets its skull crushed.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]' examples:
** In the original ''[[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers]]'', Rita's moronic lickspittles Squatt and Squatt and Baboo, possibly emphasized the most in the episode "Dark Warrior". Even most ''children'' know enough not to drink from a strange bottle without a label, but that's exactly what they do when she sentsends them to steal Trini's uncle's invisibility formula. You really couldn't blame her for chewing them out this time; fortunately for them, it only made them sick.
** Not that the Rangers themselves don't fall into this occasionally. Also in the original series, in the second [[Halloween Episode]], Zordon ''specifically'' tells them what the rotted pumpkins are capable of face-hugging, yet all of them except Trini get too close when examining them, pretty much doing what he warned them not to. Fortunately for them, when it did happen, Trini had been smart enough to heed the warning.
** In ''[[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue]]'', there's an episode when a young girl's mom is captured by monsters. When the little girl ask another woman's help, the older woman says that there's no such things as monsters. This was midway through the season, after dozens of monsters had attacked the city. Not to mention that just a [[Power Rangers in Space|few years ago]], Earth was temporarily taken over by monsters. ''And'' this was the team-up episode, confirming that, yes, the last six seasons of monsters attacks did happen... Long story short, it's with good reason that [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]] named this lady '''"DUMBEST PERSON IN POWER RANGERS EVER."'''
