Absent-Minded Professor	comment	(For the Disney movies, see The Absent-Minded Professor — the "The" before the title is important.) This Stock Character is a brilliant scientist, but, uh, very flighty, often forgetting things like the date, people's names, meetings, eating, sleeping, cleaning, people's names, etc. His mind tends to run a mile a minute, he can often struggle to hold a normal conversation, and it's typical for him to become so engrossed in his work that he loses track of just about everything else. Good thing he (and it's very often a he) is good at what he does and often has perfect memory for scientific details or mathematical values. With a little prodding from the heroes to focus on the matter at hand, he rarely fails to create the tools necessary to save the day. This is a very old character type, referred to by this name since at least um... er... 1864? Yes, 1864! A subtrope of The Professor. And some sort of genius, what was it?— TV Genius, that was it. Compare Mad Scientist and Mad Mathematician who may exhibit this trait, demonstrating that even their vast intellect has limits. For those whose absent-minded brilliance shines in engineering and applied science, compare Bungling Inventor. One with an extreme case of this may resemble an Idiot Savant. And then there are those who are Brilliant, but Lazy, a Ditzy Genius, or a Genius Ditz. May end up being a Stupid Scientist. This teacher is highly likely to be More than Just a Teacher. Often Played for Laughs as anyone they interact with becomes an exasperated Straight Man. When it's Played for Drama, they're painfully aware of their problem and are often as frustrated and embarrassed by it as anyone they deal with. Now if you'll excuse me, I must nip on home, as I seem to have forgotten to put on my pants. Ah, the hair? Oh, yes, I should try to comb it some time... I do have a comb, don't I? A Subtrope of... oh, yes, Forgetful Jones. Compare with Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_11d152d0	comment	Belgarath and his fellow sorcerers in Belgariad. To emphasise, Belgarath once placed a diamond under a step of his tower to find out how long it would take to grind it down to a powder. Then he forgot about it. He had been stepping over the step for so long all the others were worn out in the middle, except that slab. It is made of stone. He also keeps misplacing things. When he got around to cleaning an area around his fireplace, just enough to allow him and Eriond to start a fire, they found a couple of couches, several chairs, and a table. Not to mention the green something he left in the pot which was ready to come alive. And it was not pea soup. He loses track of centuries at a time. Just to name a few. That is how engrossed he gets in his studies.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_1b7f85df	comment	Adolf K. Weismann a.k.a. Shiro from K shows himself to be this on occasion. His twin sister was better, and when they were working together as scientists, she was the one who kept him focused most of the time. In the present time of the show, Kuroh does this for him - frustratedly in season 1 while trying to get Shiro to prove his innocence, before he recovers his memories. In season 2, he's better because they have such a serious mission, but he still seems airy, doing things like hosting important meetings between Kings in his dorm room. And after the series, when he becomes a teacher at the high school, he's still mooching lunch off of his students.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_28fe1376	comment	Walter Bishop in Fringe is a sound example. He constantly forgets the name of his lab assistant, flies off on tangents to talk about foodstuffs he likes, and delivers rambling anecdotes that may eventually lead to him remembering vitally important high-tech principles, or may go absolutely nowhere. "Safe": while investigating a series of bank robberies, it's more than halfway through the episode that he remembers that the boxes stolen were some of his inventions. It's later still that he remembers what's in them. It seems to be largely a result of his mental illness, though -itself partly due to having parts of his brain cut out. His younger self and Walternate aren't absent-minded at all. "Letters of Transit" takes place in an alternate future, and Walter has had brain damage which makes him even wackier then usual. When he has the excised parts of his brain restored to heal the damage, he becomes incredibly competent. And kind of a dick.

He goes on to do things like send a sheet of blotting paper instead of a letter, and get caught in his own burglar trap because he forgot about it.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_468bebb0	comment	Pretty much all the wizards at the Unseen University. The Bursar's mind in particular is on an extended leave of absence. There's no non-magical university on Discworld, but if there were, Leonard of Quirm would also be an example. As it is, he's merely an absent-minded polymath. One of the best descriptions of him, from Jingo is "a man who'd stay up all night to invent an alarm clock to wake him up in the morning." Some of the things he invents could be very dangerous, but Vetinari doesn't worry too much because without anyone to keep him on track he's "his own distraction" — prior to The Last Hero and everyone really needing him to invent a flying machine, his attempt were derailed when he decided he first needed to invent a special tray to have your meals on. At one point in Jingo Vetinari sends Leonard to kidnap two 'volunteers' for a secret mission. Leonard proceeds to be so distracted throughout the whole affair — including handing his weapon to the kidnappees to hold so he can make some improvements to it — that the only reason it succeeds is that the victims are curious to see where this goes. Hubert Turvy in Making Money - the Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork's economic forecaster and builder of a hydraulic water-based computer. But a classic Cannot Talk to Women computer nerd.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls Throughout the series, this applies to a startling number of magic users, particularly within the Mages Guild. While they tend to be incredibly skilled in their particular area of magical expertise, and can typically provide training to others in that area, they are almost comically inept in other phases of their jobs and tend to be completely ignorant of this fact. Additionally, the Mages Guild tends to have major issues with The Peter Principle when it comes to promoting members. Being skilled with magic does not automatically translate to being a skilled administrator, leading to many Pointy Haired Bosses in high-ranking positions within the Guild. When they became detrimental, they'd either be Kicked Upstairs and/or Reassigned to Antarctica to keep them out of them way. Skyrim: Tolfdir may be the pre-eminent professor and master Wizard of Alteration in the College of Winterhold, but he still constantly misplaces his Alembic. Wylandriah, the Court Mage of Riften, manages to forget every single thing she's told the Dragonborn by the end of her explanations. She outdoes Tolfdir by forgetting three different items across half the province; once you return from finding them she's forgotten that she asked you to retrieve them.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_9f89a5f0	comment	''PokÃ©mon: Some of the professors to fall under this category. PokÃ©mon Red and Blue: Professor Oak is so absent-minded he doesn't remember his own grandson's name, leaving it up to the player to remind him. This remains the case in the GBA remakes, but PokÃ©mon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! reveals that it's actually a subversion: said grandson (who isn't your rival here, but instead a recurring NPC) exasperatedly interrupts the conversation to tell him no one thinks that joke is funny anymore and to focus on the task at hand. PokÃ©mon Gold and Silver: Professor Elm "steps out for a minute" while examining the starter PokÃ©mon, just long enough for the rival to steal one of his PokÃ©mon. His wife also states that sometimes he gets so wrapped up in his research that he Forgets to Eat. PokÃ©mon Ruby and Sapphire: Professor Birch, despite usually conducting his studies in the field, is ambushed by a Level 2 Poochyena, despite bringing three Pokemon of his own. In the remakes, he later gets chased by a Shroomish, the moving company's Machoke, and even his own wife, never realizing that they were never threats to him in the first place. PokÃ©mon Diamond and Pearl: Professor Rowan leaves behind his research bag, which contains the three starter Pokemon. Admittedly, this is not his fault, as his assistant was in charge of the bag, but he seemed not to notice that his highly valuable Pokemon were missing until after the player and the rival had pilfered two of the Pokemon.(However, this is not the case in Platinum, where they're given to the player and rival instead). PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet: Jacq is one of the player's actual teachers rather than the main professor, but he tends to get overly-focused on his research and is easily distracted. He slips a user survey about the PokÃ©dex onto his midterm exam (which Clavell apparently scolds him for), and he occasionally gets cut off by the bell because he got distracted and started rambling. His appearance also evokes this, given that his clothes and hair are very messy. While not technically a professor, Warden Baoba of Fuchsia City's Safari Zone obtained the nickname "Slowpoke" due to his constant "vacant look" despite his vast knowledge of Pokemon.

The man is completely unimportant to the story (the parrot is the point) but HergÃ© took the time to identify him as 1) very absent-minded and 2) a Professor.

He's a bit of a ditz despite working on projects that can change the world on a regular basis, excitedly asking if Hisashi is going to have kids and to be named the godfather. He then realizes that he stick his foot in his mouth when Hisashi angrily declares his infertility.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_bfef9cdb	comment	Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale is typically portrayed as this in fanfic, with not very much canon to back it up. His obsession with science and initial obliviousness to Cecil's affections contribute to a fanon interpretation of Carlos as socially awkward and extremely nerdy. He's also often portrayed as forgetting to eat and Cecil as reminding him or simply bringing him food; also as inclined to Overworked Sleep. There are countless drawings and paintings of Carlos falling asleep at his lab table, often with Cecil covering him with a blanket.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor is prone to acting like this, depending somewhat on the incarnation. They're quite likely more intelligent than any human being in history, but prone to Buffy Speak, Disorganized Outline Speeches, Metaphorgotten, Cloudcuckoolander-ness in general, and can hardly pilot the TARDIS or even remember what its buttons and knobs do. Sometimes this is Obfuscating Stupidity, but often it isn't. The Fourth Doctor was very prone to this. In one episode it was revealed that much of his education was via subconscious and sleep learning, so he knows a great many things but can't remember why or how he knows them, in addition to all the stuff he's picked up telepathically or just in the course of thousands of centuries of knocking about through the galaxies. The Fifth Doctor combined this trait with unsually bad luck. He tended to have his head in the clouds and frequently forget (at times rather important) details about the time era/places he visited, resulting in him and his companions getting in hot water. In one of the Eighth Doctor Adventures novels, The Multiverse is in danger and the Doctor is in his lab sorting it out. He leaves for a couple minutes and accidentally smacks one of his companions, Fitz, in the face with a door, giving him a nosebleed, and doesn't seem to notice. Four days later, the Doctor gives him a soiled handkerchief and apologizes, apparently unaware that four days have passed. As Fitz said in a much-earlier book, "Ladies and gentlemen, the mind of a Time Lord." When the Tenth Doctor becomes human and goes into hiding, his new personality as "John Smith" is very much this, to the point where he suddenly forgets where he's going. This is partly due to his Wistful Amnesia. The Eleventh Doctor is very much an absent-minded professor in the body of an energetic twenty-something. Case in point, this exchange from "The Beast Below": The Thirteenth Doctor is incredibly forgetful and scatterbrained. A Running Gag is her awarding points to her companions, but she keeps losing track of how many points each of them has, and whether she was using points or gold stars. She also has a tendency to lose something, panic as she looks for it, and then realize she was holding it the entire time. Sometimes, she even fails to notice either the presence or absence of her companions, even if they've been in the room or missing for quite some time. Professor Chronotis from the unfinished â€œShadaâ€� is the king of this trope. Professor Yana from "Utopia" is this, as he gets distracted a lot and often spaces out when others are talking. However, this stops when he becomes the Master again.

Absent-Minded Professor / int_fc0e7530	comment	In Dexter's Laboratory Ego Trip Old Man Dexter is a much more brilliant scientist than the present-day Dexter, creating miraculous technology for the good of humanity. However, he suffers from poor memory due to his old age, and can't remember the details of the battle with Mandark, even though Mandark's Brain in a Jar is proof of the villain's defeat. Thus, when present-day Dexter arrives in his Time Machine, they both have to go to the actual time period where it happened (with Dexter's young adult self) to inquire with their middle-aged self.
