Line 35:
* In one episode of ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'', Sena watches a TV program on his team's new secret player, and there's a bit where Hiruma, posing as Eyeshield 21, gives an "obnoxious tough guy" speech. Kurita tries to assure him "No one would take that seriously", but then we cut to Monta watching the same program, talking about what a jerk Eyeshield 21 is.
* In the first season finale of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', the youma create an illusion of a captured Tuxedo Mask, which Sailor Moon rushes toward. After the trap is exposed, they create the same illusion again. Sailor Mars says, "Do you really think she's stupid enough to fall for it ''again''?", only for Sailor Moon to prove that she is.
* In the anime episode of ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]'' that introduces Gosunkugi, he digs a pit in an attempt to trap Ranma. Two unnamed students ask each other who would make such an obvious trap, and who would fall into it. Enter Kunō...
** In the manga, Ranma says this when Akane wins a bathing suit that supposedly makes anyone capable of swimming like a pro Olympian just by wearing it. Shortly afterwards, it turns out that it really does work.
{{quote|'''Ranma:''' There's no such thing as a bathing suit which makes a person able to swim. There is no one in the world dumb enough that would believe such a thing!
Line 52:
'''Koizumi:''' I was hoping that you might. }}
* In the first episode of ''[[Dominion Tank Police]]'', a [[Mook]] in a stolen prototype tank is confident he's escaped the heroine's older model by [[Wall Crawl|climbing an elevator shaft]], because she'd [[Cowboy Cop|have to be some kind of lunatic]] to fire straight up at him. They both end up buried in the rubble.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''{{'}}s [[Spinoff Babies]] series ''Negiho'' has the girls trying to force out Konoka's "stalker" by doing annoying things to her (like [[Face Doodling]] and [[Tickle Torture]]). Off to the side, Yue wonders how stupid the stalker would have to be to actually show up for such an obvious trap. Cue Setsuna blasting the lot of them with her Shinmeiryuu techniques, [[Neck Lift]]ing Asuna while shouting "What do you ''think'' you're doing to Ojou-sama!". She's quickly caught in a stalker-snare afterwards.
* This is practically a [[Running Gag]] in ''[[Gintama]]'' whenever Hijikata would ask who would be dumb enough to (action), cue Kondo doing said action.
* In ''[[Squid Girl]]'', to demonstrate to Nagisa that [[Cute Monster Girl|Squid Girl]] isn't a threat, they give her a fishing pole with a shrimp as bait. Nagisa just finishes telling herself that there's no way an invader like Squid Girl would fall for something so obvious when [[Crowning Moment of Funny|she feels a tug at the other end of the line.]]
