Too Dumb to Live/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** And that's not counting the countless vampires who decide they'll be the ones to kill the Slayer.

* The entire cast of the British comedy ''[[The Young Ones]]'' falls into this trope. The amount they don't know, and then the amount they presume to know, boggles the mind, but it's all harmless fun. Watching them try to sell a nuke to Libyan dictators was especially hilarious.

** Luckily for them, they [[Negative Continuity|never permanently die]]. The permanence of their deaths in the series finale is debatable, though.

* [[The Ghost|Sam's mom]] on ''[[iCarly]]'' (she was driving a car ''after having laser eye surgery'' and crashed through a school wall).

** Taking naked pictures of yourself on your phone when your father is the King and has found out and gone into a murderous rage over pettier shit before, while noting this fact jokingly, is by far the dumbest thing she's ever done.

* In one episode of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', the guys spoof a road safety movie from the 1950s. At the end, the protagonist's brother dies because he and his girlfriend are too distracted looking over his shoulder and waving to notice the oncoming train. You can imagine the jokes made at his expense.

** Also mocked in the song "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYuJA0oaw4s&feature=relmfu Danger To Ourself And Others]".

* In a tragic example, the entire Markab race which was wiped out by a plague in episode 18 of Season 2 of ''[[Babylon 5]]''. Instead of going through their own quarantine procedures, they routinely sent out people carrying the plague to different planets, eventually infecting all of their known colonies. Know the reason? For the dark age belief that the disease only targets the 'immoral' and the immoral people are getting divine retribution. Many of the first outbreaks were covered up ''due'' to this dark age belief. Were humans the ''only'' race in this show to go through an Age of Enlightenment and an Age of Reason? Even Doctor Franklin [[Lampshades]] this through the episode. At the end, all 5000 Merkats on the station were dead, Two Billion on their homeworld were dead, and millions more throughout their colonies were dead. Too. Dumb. To. Live.

** Howard has been sued for sexual harassment a lot more times than six. But there are no injunctions blocking him from about half of Pasadena.

** Sheldon actually did go to jail in "The Excelsior Acquisition":

'''Penny:''' For doing the same crap he always does, except to a judge. }}

** However, in the real world, someone would get very angry at Sheldon and attack him, causing him(Sheldon), and possibly witnesses, to be hospitaliazed and possibly even killed. That person could get arrested for disturbing the peace, and witnesses could get seriously injured or even killed out of the attacker's rage, if Sheldon angers him that much.

* The show ''[[Time Commanders]]'': horse archers go in front! Do something about their horse-archers! NO, DON'T CHARGE THEM WITH HEAVY CAV!

* Classic moment from ''[[Cheers]]''

'''Sam:''' Hey now Rebecca. It's not like he ever tried to screw us over, no wait, he did that to me once. Well, it's not like he ever cheated on you, no, he did do that. [[Sarcasm Mode|Hey, maybe this is the last scummy thing he'll ever do.]]<br />

'''Rebecca:''' ''(hopefully)'' Do you think so?<br />
