Not every student will be a certified genius and obsess over anything that isn't a flawless A+. Many will actually do quite mediocre in school, but this is despite seeming at least average in intelligence in most other areas of life. This is generally an indication that they aren't stupid but don't have the skills to rise next to the TV Genius characters in academia. Alternatively they may be Brilliant, but Lazy where the lazy part is disliking sucking up to the faculty, or be secretly a Genius Ditz when given the right project to work on.
A Book Dumb character is a fairly common way to incite relatability with the audience (especially when creating a This Loser Is You) while still allowing them to be special in the scope of being a main character. A Book Dumb character will usually show excellent "street smarts", is quite capable of thinking on their feet, and is often very good at problem solving most of the time, but he (and it is usually a boy) does not function well within a regimented learning system. Maybe he's just not good at that type of learning. Maybe he's clever, but can't resist an opportunity for mischief. In extreme cases, he may even be a genius or inventor at home, but devolves into a functionally illiterate bad boy as soon as he enters through the school gates. Maybe he's just Too Dumb to Fool or an Apathetic Student. Some characters are like this due to literally not having a formal education, either due to a family/community situation or being from an area without an education infrastructure. They might not be in any way stupid or lazy but a lack of opportunity has simply restricted their progression.
More or less the polar opposite of the Stereotypical Nerd, who does excellently in school but is shown as being almost completely incompetent in all other areas of life. Both can be very intelligent people, but only in certain circumstances. The different attitudes of most people to each type of character betray our society's mistrust of intellect. Both, however, can be Geeks.
This is also common among adults, who will be portrayed as not having done very well at school, even though today they may be a wealthy business owner, famous novelist, celebrated artist, top sportsman, or nuclear safety inspector. If the character is doing a menial labor job they will usually be just as ineffective in his job as he was at school (though always managing to avoid George Jetson Job Security), while displaying considerable intelligence in other areas of their life.
This is one of the ways writers have evolved Brains Versus Brawn since this trope allows you to maintain the contrast between the "smart" and "dumb" character, while also giving the dumb character both more complexity than a one-note idiot character and a leg up in the competition over their smarter foil who often suffers from a lack of Street Smarts. Often overlaps with Troubled, but Cute, especially in Western media. Book Dumb female characters are quite common in Anime and Manga but in Western media this trope tends to skew heavily male. The popularity of the Uptown Girl trope might also be a factor.
Some writers will try and use it as a criticism of the school system, either claiming that schools are staffed by incompetent idiots who don't know intelligence when they see it, or that schools are deliberately designed to stifle innovation and free will in order to turn kids into mindless future wage slaves.
Still, this trope has quite a bit of Truth in Television. As any teacher can tell you, there is something about the school system that does alienate a certain portion of otherwise intelligent children, although the pervasiveness of this trope frustrates some students that are held to Teen Genius standards by their parents, wondering why nobody that actually does well in school is ever the main character. Most troublingly, this trope is popular among anti-intellectuals, who argue that academic smarts are entirely worthless. Of course, being anti-intellectuals, their arguments lack a certain... something. Luckily some school systems are trying to do things to solve this problem, as it often makes learning easier for everybody anyway, and several systems have been in use since just after the Turn of the Millennium, although wide-spread adoption has yet to occur anywhere. Also, most book-dumb people in real-life often resort to looking up the answers to their schoolwork online — typically through the likes of Wikipedia — to put on an intelligent façade in pursuit of popularity (or at least not flunk out and get in trouble).
The inversion is Book Smart. Contrast TV Genius, who only seems intelligent in the classroom, and Ditzy Genius, who is a genius in academics but inept in everyday life. Also contrast Insufferable Genius, who is very talented and arrogantly proud of it. Compare Everybody Hates Mathematics, the roughly mathematical equivalent. Technical opposite of the Badass Bookworm. If they are asked to do an essay, they might end up Padding the Paper.

Adventure Time: Finn doesn't have a school to do bad in, but he's terrible at maths and doesn't understand Princess Bubblegum's science experiments. He's also quite impulsive and sometimes gullible. That being said, there are numerous episodes where he gets by through cleverness or subterfuge rather than just running at monsters with a sword. (Not that he doesn't do that too.)

Gentarou Kisaragi, the main hero of Kamen Rider Fourze is this. So much that he considers getting a 50 his greatest accomplishment! Plus, that 50 was originally an 18 — due to helping out the detention teacher's son, he bumped it up to the 50 to pass! The other half of this trope is shown in Gentaro's social skills (he's incredibly good with people and can befriend just about anyone, plus is a very good judge of character and when someone is hiding something), his deductive reasoning (figuring out who the Monster of the Week was based on a character tic), and his ability to learn, adapt, and improvise during battle.

The character's Big Secret is that, against his image, he's an A student, and was looking after the tarantula because he wanted to.

In Lil Gator Game, Lil Gator easily gets bored with overly technical stuff, such as when some kids from a fancy prep school try to explain their projects in detail, and thinks that an equation is "the thing where rocks get smaller". Despite this, they can be shown to be quite smart for a kid their age, especially when they point out the contradictions in their friend Martin's "testimony" during the mock courtroom scene.

Wildcat seems pretty unintelligent, but give him any mechanical task to work on and he shows his true genius. Give him a broken telephone and he can fix it in ten seconds flat.
Baloo is revealed in one episode to be poor at spelling, and in a later one that he never even finished primary school. He is, however, a top-notch pilot and is capable of coming up with some cunning strategies when dealing with the various villains in the series.

A Certain Magical Index: Touma Kamijou is really smart when it comes to fighting and surviving, often managing to figure out his opponents' weakness and outsmart as well as outpunch them. He is also good at applying the laws of physics to predict trajectories and stuff like that. He does really poorly at school, though in his defense, saving people, the city, or the world often eats up the time he could have used to study. He is also ignorant in a lot of topics that his peers are not. For example, he only understands Japanese. Most other characters know multiple languages, and often complain that he must be an idiot when they have to translate for him. He doesn't know about any country besides Japan, which his peers also complain about. He is also very ignorant about mythology and history. At one point, his companions, who are all from England or Italy, start talking about the Japanese surveyor and cartographer In� Tadataka. He has no idea who that is, causing his companions to say that he must be a slacker to not know his own country's history.

Charles Gunn from Angel is far from well-read due to growing up on the streets but has a first-rate intellect, though he gets self-deprecating about being "the muscle" in the group in later seasons. In Season 5, this is subverted when he becomes the group's legal expert after getting a mental download of a comprehensive knowledge of the law, along with some Required Secondary Powers like golf, foreign languages and Gilbert and Sullivan.

Chase Stein from Runaways, despite being the child of genius inventors, has no scholastic aptitude whatsoever and is easily the dumbest member of the group (including the 11-year-olds):
Yet when on his own, he was clever enough to come up with a simple plan to deal with the Gibborim; find and threaten those smart enough to help. His "anonymous white van" idea also shows he has some degree of cleverness.
This starts to lessen as the series goes on: Chase shows a skill with fixing and using tech devices close to his parents, and is as skilled with the Staff of One as Nico, the resident spellcaster herself.

Claudia Kishi from The Baby-Sitters Club series is this trope. Basically her entire personality, and many of her plotlines, revolve around the fact that she does poorly in school despite being talented at art and having generally good judgment and social skills. In the early books she's just uninterested in school, but she seems to get dumber as the series goes on, even going so far as to be sent back to a grade she had already completed.

The Simpsons:
Bart Simpson is clearly an excellent example of this — at school, he is falling behind everybody else, barely managing to stay in his own grade, whereas in his spare time he thwarts criminals and solves mysteries, often displaying intuitive thinking skills on a par with his sister Lisa. Further proven in the few situations where he does apply himself academically, and manages to do quite well for himself. He has also proven himself to be an excellent polyglot, speaking fluent French in two months, and Spanish and Japanese in a matter of hours.
Ralph Wiggum, despite having a reputation for rather dim fits this to a minor extent. Although he's as Book Dumb as one could possibly get, numerous scenes have been dropped throughout various Simpsoncentric media from the comic, to the series itself that he's possibly creatively gifted. When his head's on somewhat straight(er than usual) anyway.

Eureka's protagonist, Sheriff Jack Carter is book dumb in comparison to his town full of supergeniuses. He has street smarts in addition to what would be considered a high degree of education anywhere else in the world. This works in his favor as the running theme of the series is how the super-geniuses go for overcomplicated answers but it's Carter pointing out the simplest solution that saves the day.

Huckleberry Finn from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the EPITOME of this trope. He's able to come up with elaborate plans on-the-spot to turn the tables around in a bad situation but he can't even spell his own alias correctly. Jim too. As a slave, he's uneducated (and it shows), but he can be pretty philosophical about what he does know.

iCarly: Sam Puckett takes this trope so far that a realistic question can be asked of how she hasn't been expelled or held back. Again. She got held back already in the 3rd grade. She's also a bully. Yet outside the school, she can scheme and plan.

Matt Parkman on Heroes, although he's no genius, is streetwise enough to have been a cop and cunning enough to have literally thought his way through some nasty situations. He's also dyslexic, hence Book Dumb through no fault of his own.

Batgirl III (Cassandra Cain) is one of the top martial artists in The DCU, but is illiterate and barely has any spoken language education. She has one of the better excuses for this, as she was raised without access to books or speech by the assassin David Cain, who intended for violence to be her only language.

Luke from Jessie is shown to be highly creative and intelligent when it comes to pranking and scheming but is expelled from school on a regular basis due to his behaviour and grades. Though an episode where he and Ravi switch character (It Makes Sense in Context) reveals he'd actually have good grades if he did his homework and didn't fall asleep in class, making him also an example of Brilliant, but Lazy. A guest appearance on the Spin-Off Bunk'd reveals that Luke actually gets Straight As in summer school.

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Sigrun and Emil. Sigrun didn't really get an education to speak of, being a Taught by Experience Military Brat. A scene shows her to be completely baffled by the fact that Mikkel actually likes to read. Emil got educated by private tutors and was doing fine until he family got a Riches to Rags episode and he joined the public school system, seeing his grades drop greatly. The fact that that he's shown to be not that much better than Sigrun in terms of academic stuff (and much worse than two other members of the crew) during the story strongly hints towards those tutors failing to actually teach him something.

In the TV version of Sweet Valley High Jessica is a complete airhead in the classroom, assuming amongst other things that makeup tests are about the use of cosmetics and that Paris is in Italy. Otherwise, while definitely shallow and impulsive, she can be plenty cunning and manipulative, particularly if someone plays a nasty trick on her.

In Jupiter-Men, Quintin, Jackie, and Arrio all struggle in different subjects in school. Quintin flunked his social studies project thanks to his String Theory-laden presentation about Jupiter-Man, while Jackie is a straight-C student. Arrio mentions struggling with Spanish and Jackie says they can all be dumb together. But Jackie is a cheerleader, a member of multiple clubs (though she's known to bounce between them), and is social and popular. Quintin is capable of in-depth research into subjects he's interested in, going so far as to take his own pictures of Jupiter-Man, though his efforts go unappreciated owing to his belief that Jupiter-Man has superpowers.

Dekar from Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals is pretty consistently portrayed as an idiot, but he's also resourceful and very philosophical. Also, he was the only one to see through Idura's trap at the Tower of Sacrifice. (Of course, Idura DID manage to trick him into the trap after a few minutes — but it didn't matter, as Dekar simply tore the thing apart.)

While not strictly educationally relevant because of the world it takes place in, Phantasy Star IV has Chaz. Whenever he's presented with anything technically complex, it's mostly lost on him, and he's easily impressed and surprised by technology (a particularly dumb moment is when he's impressed that Demi — who is an android — is adept at handling machines). He even lampshades this, pointing out that Rune has basically had to explain everything to him since he joined the party. However, his understanding of people is top-notch, and he's usually aware of other characters' feelings and thoughts before they express them; this also leads him to his Moment of Awesome when he recognizes the hypocrisy inherent in his destiny and chooses to refuse the call.

Don Camillo: Peppone dropped out of school in third grade and is only literate in the most technical sense. It doesn't stop him from eloquently arguing politics, turning his blacksmith's shop into a successful auto repair business, serving as his home village's mayor for over twenty years or out-scheming his arch-enemy, the village priest, with surprising regularity.

Harry Potter:
Both Harry Potter and Ron Weasley have a fairly low level of interest in academia and usually rely on their uber-nerd friend to succeed for them. Everyone knows that Harry Potter becomes a great wizard, yet he's only this great when in danger. He even flat-out says this in the fifth book. Even J.K. Rowling states that while Harry does become a gifted wizard, he was pretty much comparable to Ron as The Ditz, especially when one remembers how out of the trio, Harry was the only one to never use a single spell in the first book. Even though he just learned of Hogwarts' existence a day before attending, he was certainly given the chance to learn at least one spell throughout the school year, especially given the circumstances. Even Ron learned two spells, and successfully performed one. This is downplayed a bit, in that neither Harry nor Ron are bad at school, just kind of middle-of-the-road, with their grades in a major exam suggesting them to be the wizarding equivalent of B-students.
If you thought Harry and Ron were bad academically, Ron's prankster twin brothers, Fred and George, are even worse. Case in point: Mrs. Weasley commented once of Ron achieving seven "Exceeds Expectations" grades in his O.W.L. exams as more than Fred's and George's added together. On the other hand, they managed to found a highly successful joke shop to sell their magical inventions that impress even Hermione. However, they were not always Book Dumb; in the first book, Ron mentioned that they make high grades, despite being goofs. Their grades declined because in the later years of school, they could no longer breeze through exams without even trying. And given their career plans didn't require getting into the advanced classes, it wasn't worth the effort to them to study harder.

In For Better or for Worse, one word: Gordon. While Gordon graduates high school with average grades, he is a gifted mechanic who turns out to have a decent head for business. He goes to work for a local outfit, and within ten years all but owns the place, it being sold to him when the owner retired; he then takes the store from a local landmark ("Oh, right, that place") to a thriving business which, the last time it was seen before the strip's conclusion, may well have been on the verge of becoming a franchise.

Tales of Vesperia has its own protagonist, Yuri Lowell. Though he is the one that keeps the party steps ahead of the other groups throughout the game, he states outright that he has little patience for reading. While most of the others in the party tend to be experts in their (book) researched fields, they each end up relying on Yuri for his street smarts. That said, he's also a Guile Hero; his lack of academic interest is out of laziness, not lack of brains.

When Wakatake is not in the mood he can easily become this. This is why on one hand he is eligible for Team KZ (which requires being the top 2% academically), but on the other hand couldn't even get into the middle school he wants.
Aya's little sister Nako turns out to be this in her spinoff Genie Team G Jiken Note, in a more classical way. Despite having an IQ of 260, she's an perennial underperformer, always been divided into the lowest class in Shumei Seminar and her intelligence is hardly recognized until the fifth grade.

Turk from Scrubs was a C student in high school, but managed to get into medical school and eventually makes head surgeon. This is to some extent true to life; it is often far easier to focus on academics when one has a clear direction, goal, and interest. He notes himself that his college marks picked up soon after he decided where he wanted to go with his studies.

Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes is shown to be very far behind his classmates academically, but is a loquacious philosopher in his spare time, showing a vocabulary and critical thinking skills far in advance of what you could expect from a normal 6-year-old. In this case, it's an explicit criticism of the school system. Bill Watterson has also said that he enjoyed having Calvin use big words to describe stupid ideas. It's also implied that Calvin, while intelligent, is simply not motivated to apply himself. In one strip, for example, his father sits him down and asks him why he doesn't do better in school, noting that he's obviously smart because he managed to devour every dinosaur book he ever got his hands on. Calvin simply replies that they never study dinosaurs in school. He has shown considerable aptitude in school-grade subjects like maths and reading comprehension in situations where the subjects, such as dinosaurs or time travel, were interesting to him. Calvin is a classic case of a gifted child in an education system that isn't engaging him properly.In addition, Calvin is also very mischievous, more interested in causing trouble and messing with the teacher's head than actually learning. He regularly gives bizarre answers on his tests ("What is the significance of the Erie Canal?" "In the cosmic sense, probably nil,") which seems to be as much for his own amusement as an attempt to cheat the system.

Dean Winchester, the elder brother in Supernatural is this trope. He almost never reads unless he has to while researching a case, and he only has a GED, having dropped out of high school at sixteen to hunt. However, he is a great mechanic, managing to keep his beloved 1967 Chevy Impala in great shape and even rebuilding it by himself after a semi totals it in the first season finale, and he made an electromagnetic frequency (EMF) meter out of a busted Walkman. Not mention he's a great liar, a fairly smooth talker, a hell of a tactician, and he has a lot of supernatural lore committed to memory.

King of the Hill:
Luanne Platter did terribly in school but she is a gifted mechanic, a good example of this was in an episode where Hank's truck is taken apart for evidence when a delinquent broke into it and Luanne puts it back together in less than two days. Not to mention how he let her touch his truck, something he never let his own friends do greatly suggested her level of skill. However this side of her is rarely shown in the later episodes mainly due to flanderization.

Perhaps the finest example of this in Discworld, however, is Harry King, who like Cohen tends to use certain kinds of paper for lavatory use (his wife likes newspaper when it's recycled, but King himself prefers to "cut out the middleman"). He was born a poor street kid and eventually came to be the waste management consultant in Ankh-Morpork. William de Worde, by no means stupid and possibly the most well-read person in Ankh-Morpork outside of the Patrician, had the "uncomfortable moment when an educated man realizes the illiterate person sizing him up could probably out-think him three times over"

That said, her past education of homeschooling and internet tutorial videos means there's a lot of blind spots in her knowledge base, such as technology, so she has to do a fair amount of catch-up work in order to stay at Beacon. Either way, her real strength is in her fighting ability, which amazes the rest of her class.

In Tough Love, Charlie rather bluntly reveals his low opinion of Bella's intelligence (or lack thereof). What seems to frustrate him more than that, however, is how she has completely given up trying to even pass her classes, instead preferring to wallow in her sadness over Edward dumping her. She ignored any and all help offered by teachers in the form of tutorials, extensions and counseling, and once turned in a calculus test covered entirely in the words, "WHY, EDWARD, WHY?"

Similarly, his best friend Richie (before gaining superpowers of his own) was shown to be a very poor student who excelled in engineering, making high-tech devices for Static to use constantly, but never passing a maths test.

Risk It All: Although his grades are middle-of-the-pack at best, Ren demonstrates a keen understanding of probability and statistics, quickly crunching the numbers to weigh the risk vs. reward in casino games as well as the randomness of the skills and powers he gains.

An episode of The Twilight Zone dealt with a girl who was mute and presumably illiterate, but with incredible mental powers (like Cassandra Cain minus the whole assassin thing). When her teacher showed her a picture of a boat and asked what it was, the girl had a vision of the boat rocking at sea, and she felt very sad that she couldn't share this with the teacher. The story ends with the girl's caretaker finding her, but she's been DePowered to a normal child.

Family Ties: Mallory is frequently portrayed as a space cadet and average (at best) student who posits that there may be "special verbs for dead people" since they don't "do" anything. However, she is clearly a very talented fashion designer who nearly beats Alex in the PBS scholarship contest of her own accord.

Kenan Rockmore from Kenan & Kel. He forgets what George Washington did with the cherry tree, can't think of an author to use as an influence for his "graduation speech", and doesn't know how to spell "thief" ("T-H-E-A-F-E"). That said, he is resourceful when it comes to planning his schemes.

Oona from The Order of the Stick falls under this. While she seems like a simpleton with limited vocabulary, she's actually smarter than she lets on, expressing complex and philosophical thoughts on politics between goblinoid races and her intention to keep Monster Hollow's population sustainable for her settlement. While she does speak in the third person, her dialogue is not bold and lowercase like the other characters with poor intelligence, giving the indication that this is the result of different languages and syntax.

Queen Sugar: Deconstructed. When Hollywood began to struggle academically in high school, he was too ashamed to ask for help and none of the adults in his life noticed that he had stopped going to class. This motivates him to run for a position on the school board, to make sure more kids don't fall through the cracks like he did.

Keiichi in Higurashi: When They Cry has an interesting case of this; it's revealed that while his grades are standard to mediocre, he has a rather good to great understanding of the real life implementations of whatever is being done. However, in Tsumihoroboshi-hen, it is revealed that Keiichi has scored genius levels on IQ tests, and is quite smarter than he initially seems, yet has a pathological block that requires him to be interested in the subject to do well. He is also shown to help Mion and Rena with their studies, and Mion is a year older than him.

In Maoyu, The Hero is the resident World's Strongest Man, but lacked a formal education. In the first episode, he didn't even know what pollution is. He sadly lampshades this in that he is only suited for fighting and is not equipped to help in problems concerning economics and politics. He is quite clever and practical, just ignorant, and he learns quickly.

In Persona 3, Junpei isn't completely stupid, but he has the worst academic performance of all the party. Likewise, Aigis, a Ridiculously Human Robot who joins the party midway through the game, is only prepared for fighting Shadows, so she does quite poorly on the only set of exams that she takes.

Most of the Investigation Team in Persona 4. With the exception of Yukiko and the Protagonist (whose aptitude depends on the player), none of them are seen to do well on their exams. In spite of this, none of them are actually stupid. Rise has only just restarted school after suspending her career as a teen idol, Teddie has never been to school but picks up ideas fast, and Naoto is by far the most intelligent and educated member of the group, albeit without any visible academic record to prove this. Both Yosuke and Chie don't really stand out in regards to intelligence but help move the investigation along regardless. Even Kanji — who is clearly the least intelligent of all — makes up for his lack of intellect with a rather specialized interest.

Persona 5 has more than a few examples.
Ryuji and Ann are not particularly good students, with Ann only good at English, but aren't necessarily stupid, either. Even though Ryuji is one of the least intelligent members of the party and often lacks common sense, he has a number of clever ideas, such as using the Metaverse to collect evidence of Kamoshida's abuse.
Eiko Takao, a friend of Makoto's from the Priestess Confidant. Unlike Makoto, who's one of the top students in her grade, Eiko has poor grades, but is knowledgeable about fashion, has a boyfriend and seems to have a vision for how she wants her life to go. Unfortunately, it turns out that Eiko is also somewhat gullible, and her boyfriend turns out to be manipulating her in order to get her into debt and sell her to the sex trade.

In The Hammer (2022), Tiny admits that he's not the sharpest tool in the shed and sometimes wishes that he'd paid better attention to his comrades' lectures. When Asgard tries to explain the power of gravity to him, Tiny tunes him out and starts picking his ears while showing disdain for Asgard's attempts to describe something that Tiny takes for granted. But Tiny's strength and martial talent are the real deal, having developed a form of mana manipulation that would make him one of the ten strongest knights in the land despite starting from nothing as a penniless commoner. He's also quite adept at manipulating others, taking advantage of how people think he's Just a Kid until it's too late. This is also justified; Tiny's upbringing as a slum orphan means that he never obtained a formal education.

Julia from 1984 is barely literate, yet able to guess the Party's innermost goals almost intuitively, and evade capture by a totalitarian regime for ten years.

Red Dwarf
David Lister, at least in later seasons, is Book Dumb but can be a reasonably intelligent guy. In "The Inquisitor", where he is put on trial to justify his existence (before himself as Judge), he fails because he could have been a better person than he was, whereas both The Cat and Rimmer (who are easily just as, if not more, a waste of DNA) get off by their own low standards.
The Cat is shown to be good at piloting Starbug and having a good sense of smell and perception of nearby danger. This is despite the fact he's not intelligent in other areas.

In It Can't Happen Here, much of the American populace is book-dumb after the Windrip regime's educational "reforms", book burnings, and censorship campaigns. Institutions of higher learning have been eviscerated, and the remaining schools only teach practical or useless classes, meaning that much of the populace is ignorant of history, literature, and civics. When citizens revolt against the Corpos, this works against them as well as the Corpos.

Jackie Chan Adventures: Jade Chan is generally Book Dumb on the basis that at times it could be argued if she even cares about school, for she would rather be on Jackie's adventures, see Adventure Rebuff. It doesn't help that at school she is often talking about said adventures instead of learning. Outside of school however Jade possess a smart and cunning mind and seems to be a very good problem solver, not the mention the ability to break into underground military installations. She is definitely street smart to the point that it scares Jackie how clever she is, at times it seems like he would have to be cunning himself to outsmart Jade. The leader of the super-spy organization Section 13 gave her a standing offer to join when she gets old enough. He was laughing at the time, but it is uncertain if he was joking (though later states this seriously when she managed to get into their most secured vault with no trouble). Her future version was actually competent enough to become leader of that organization, until being demoted for a mistake.

Cohen the Barbarian is illiterate, though he loves books (they make for good lavatory paper), but he's got so much cunning and guile it doesn't matter. Unlike most barbarians, he does have a great deal of genuine respect for education, though. He had a Geography teacher as part of his retinue and trusted adviser in Interesting Times, and would listen and defer to him when faced with a problem he was best equipped to tackle. He even proved himself willing to listen to Rincewind when he thinks what the man has to say is relevant.

Baka and Test: Summon the Beasts: This is a given as Fumizuki Academy separates it’s students into different classes based on their entrance exams scores, with the series focusing on Class 2F. However, it also plays with the trope as most of the students being downplayed examples due to Crippling Overspecialization and a few others being subverted examples due to being Brilliant, but Lazy.
The main character, Akihisa, is generally the straightest example, mostly due to the fact that he does not study. However, one area that he does excel in is history, especially Japanese History, in which he can compete with anyone on the subject matter.
Hideyoshi is an excellent actor in the Drama Club who uses his androgynous looks to good use, but inside a classroom plays this trope straight at first. The subversion occurs after getting the lead role in a School Play on The Tale of Genji, which sparks an interest that boosts his grade in Classics, showing that he is an example of Brilliant, but Lazy.
Kouta is good at biology & health subjects, especially if it involves female biology, to the point of beating a Class 2A student on the subject. However, outside of this, as well as as being good with technology like cameras and computers, he plays this trope straight to the point of Crippling Overspecialization.
Minami is a justified example of this trope as she was born in Japan but raised mostly in Germany leading to a Language Barrier. This leads to her being unable to read kanji causing her to appear to be this trope when in fact she is very intelligent. One class she does excel at is maths due to the fact that it is one of the only class to not involve kanji as well as being Good with Numbers.
Mizuki is a zig-zagging example of this trope. On the one hand, she came down with a illness on the day of the entrance exam causing her to earn a zero, which seems to be backed up by the fact that her grades show that she is Book Smart having the second highest grades of their school grade. On the other hand, this is mostly an Informed Ability as she has to demonstrate her intelligence outside of what her grades tell us.
Yuuji is a complete aversion to the trope as it becomes clear to the audience that he is smarter than he looks who comes with the winning strategies of Class 2F. The reason for why he is in the lowest class soon becomes clear when the audience is introduced to Shouko from Class 2A who is very much an Abhorrent Admirer of his who shouldn’t be anywhere near him.

Kyon from Haruhi Suzumiya is clearly intelligent and knows a lot for his age, as displayed by his continual references to widely varied aspects of culture, history, mythology and advanced scientific concepts, many of which a high schooler would have no reason to know, but is far below average as a student, possibly due to his cynical and apathetic personality. In the novels, he ends up needing Haruhi's help on at least one assignment. Lampshaded by Kyon himself: "Why is it that I can be so smart when it comes to reading Nagato's facial expressions or Koizumi's hidden clues, but fail to answer every single test question?"

Tales of Symphonia's Lloyd Irving is like this. Starts off completely clueless, but by the time Martel shows up you get the feeling that Lloyd has figured out exactly how to plow through the Gambit Pileup. Dawn of the New World pretty much confirms this, because even when you consider that most of the evil deeds that Lloyd was blamed for were actually Decus in disguise, the real Lloyd is still pretty much running his own plan, as evidenced by his demanding the cores and then running away when he realizes he's outnumbered by his former friends, rather than just joining up with them. Yet, despite now being nearly twenty, academics-wise, he's still only managed to get around to memorizing his multiplication tables, as revealed in a skit with Raine.

From a study that was quoted on The Colbert Report: out of all the billionaires in America, 5% come from Harvard while 35% come from "the college of No College Education". Also keep in mind the percentage of Americans who graduated from Harvard; it's got to be less than six million people.

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist: Several characters manifest this:
Dys dislikes traditional classes, in part because he's guaranteed to run into the Child Prodigy twin sister towards whom he has Successful Sibling Syndrome if he attends them. Instead, he sneaks out of the colony to observe the local wildlife. When Sol becomes old enough to go on officially sanctioned expeditions, Dys plays the role of the more knowledgeable peer.
Nougat, the recurring tutoring student, is suddenly much better at maths if she's using it for something hands-on or pertaining to everyday life.
Sol can befriend Nomi-Nomi, one of their peers, while working as a tutor in the same manner that they can befriend other peers by working alongside them. Job events, however, show that Nomi-Nomi comes to the tutoring sessions to get help, not provide it. Nomi-Nomi is also a walking argument in favor of the colony starting to support full-time artists.
As a child, Anemone hates school and would rather play sportsball instead.

Leonard Snart (a.k.a. "Captain Cold") in The Flash is a very good villainous example. He never finished high school, and his signature Freeze Ray was stolen from STAR Labs rather than anything he made himself. That said, he was a very cunning and successful professional criminal even before he took on this gimmick, thanks to a hefty dose of Awesomeness by Analysis, and was the first villain to hand the Flash a solid defeat and remain at large, rather than being killed or captured. He has also taken apart and put back together his cold gun enough times to know how to maintain it, despite the technology being way beyond him. He insists that his partner (who's even more this trope) do the same with his flamethrower. Mick later turns out to be even smarter by being able to pilot a timeship and track down temporal fugitives as the Bounty Hunter Chronos. Jefferson "Jax" Jackson never went to college due to a busted knee ruining his chances for a football scholarship. Despite this, his skills as a mechanic translate surprisingly well to maintaining a timeship almost as well as Rip (a trained Time Master).

Beast Boy from Teen Titans (2003) is by far the least academic of the main team, justified by how he didn't exactly have a normal, healthy upbringing with education in mind. He's shown to be really bad at subjects like geography (he assumed the Great Wall of China was in Japan) and history ("Now I know how George Washington felt when Napoleon beat him at Pearl Harbor!"). He does, however, have a vast knowledge of pop culture (which becomes useful when he and the team end up Trapped in TV Land by Control Freak) and demonstrates with his Animorphism powers an encyclopedic knowledge of the animal kingdom for things to turn into, including more esoteric lifeforms such as dinosaur species and amoebas.

Kyo Kusanagi of The King of Fighters may be an excellent fighter (having won the titular tournament at least 7 times), but because of this, he's been kept out of school for so long that he's at least 25 and has yet to graduate (not counting the time he was kidnapped and missing for at least a year). The problem being that, despite the successive year appellations, he hasn't aged — nor, for that matter, has the rest of the cast. No wonder they changed the sequel labeling style. It's more of a case of Kyo being The Slacker. He's not an idiot; he just gets bored very easily and decided to drop out from school by the time the NESTS saga rolled around. By the way, he's only won KOF from '94 to '97.

At the start of Red Rising, Darrow didn't even know what shampoo was. This was mainly due to the fact that he was a member of the lowest caste in society, who weren't allowed to read, and weren't allowed running water for showers, only being able to clean off dirt by blasting themselves with pressurized air. Once he gets an actual education, he's very quick thinking, well read, and eloquent.

Fanny Price in Mansfield Park is from a poor family and hasn't had access as a child to the governesses her rich cousins had; as a result, when she first meets them they laugh at her for not knowing basic facts about geography and history. However, she's got more common sense and a better sense of morality than they do, and does a better job of making up for lost time in academic knowledge than they do in developing character.

The 'Tactical Points' (TP) element of Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Chain Attack system is widely regarded as a means of displaying how intelligent party members are in carrying out their attacks. While Taion has a TP base of 35, Lanz and Sena, the two muscle-heads of the party, both have a TP base of 15. This has led to memes of referring to the pair having '15 TP moments', whenever they do or say something that could be construed as stupid. And then you have Triton, a scatterbrained old man with a TP base of 10.

Aximili from Animorphs is an Andalite military cadet, a member of a super-advanced alien species, with all the complete-education and training that implies, and all the vastly-superior-to-human-science knowledge that comes with it — and his actions throughout the series show that he's quite intelligent and quick-thinking as well. He also conveniently knows very little about a great many plot points and other miscellaneous details that he should reasonably be expected to know by the standards of his people, because while he has completed his education, he spent most of that education staring at the attractive female Andalites in adjacent learning cubicles. Some things, it would seem, are universal.

Ambition of the Red Princess:
Naofumi struggled academically throughout his school career but quickly shows an impressive understanding of people and their motivations, such as realizing that a barkeep offering everyone a free round of beer will make his customers eat and drink more along with their cheer drawing in more curious customers, earning him more money than the single lost barrel of beer would've earned him. Similarly, when Malty exonerates him of having allegedly raped her, Naofumi almost immediately puzzles out that she was expected to betray him as part of a plot by the king.
On other occasions, Naofumi immediately dismisses the other heroes' claim that being the Shield Hero makes him useless, citing how important tanks are in multiplayer games. He also realizes that the two "envoys" sent by Siltvelt are low-level spies given that their "plan" to smuggle him out of the country is to take him by carriage through the main road connecting the two countries, which is fortified by a heavy garrison. Naofumi takes a moment to explain why leaving Melomarc is a bad idea to begin with as it'd paint him as a deserter, and that's if everyone at the garrison thinks rationally and lets him pass rather than killing him.

Will appears at least as smart as anyone else the rest of the time, but her grades are so bad she tries to hide them from her mother.
Irma Lair counts, saying she "lives in the now" and doesn't worry about her grades.
Book Dumb doesn't mean incompetent as they display intelligence and creativity at their Guardian positions; one notable example is Will using Teletransportation to save herself and a group of her allies, a feat that requires ten years of training to do safely. And this was her first time attempting it. Of course she did freak out when it seemed she teleported them into a wall. Naturally, waking up, going to school and saving the world causes grade loss on its own.

Emma Norton in Genie in the House. Interestingly, despite being the more popular and seemingly girly of the Norton sisters she is also the character with most of the stock sitcom male characteristics; laziness, Small Name, Big Ego, a tendency towards get rich quick schemes, and comedic lechery.

Big City Greens: Cricket Green is largely ignorant of such subjects as science, literature, and geography (for example, he thinks the capital of Mexico is "M", and believes the Earth is flat), but he is a clever schemer who often comes out on top in dealing with his foes.

Futurama: Philip J. Fry is frequently portrayed as a lazy, childish The Slacker who is impulsive to the nth degree, has a soda addiction that nearly cost him his (best) (girl)friend's life (It Makes Sense in Context) and caused him to suffer near-lethal radiation poisoning, and on a trivia show blurted out the answer before any others were listed. In one episode, he attends Mars University, just so he can drop out. He has minimal social skills and has difficulty talking to people (including women). And despite being in a situation where not understanding his current environment makes sense, it's made pretty clear that he doesn't have much more knowledge regarding anything else outside of a small sector of nerdy interests. Despite all of this, he does manage to be quite clever at times, as well as pull off some remarkable feats and moments of clarity when given the right motivation.

The Venture Bros.:
Hank Venture. Earlier in the series he would have probably fallen under the category of an ordinary dumbass, but as of late he has acquired a rather typical teenage mindset. Even so, Hank still is as uneducated as a doorstop.
One episode had the two of them graduating "high school" and looking into colleges, with Hank instead deciding to join S.P.H.I.N.X. so he could work with Brock. To basically everyone's surprise, Hank manages to pass every single test they put him through to keep him from joining the organization, and he shows a freakish level of competence in handling dangerous situations. This can be attributed to being raised by resident-badass Brock Samson, and having picked up tricks from his life as a boy adventurer. But that same episode brought up that both Hank and his brother Dean have so little experience living in the real world, they have barely any actual life skills and wouldn't last a week outside the compound.

Fate/Grand Order: Ritsuka Fujumaru has to go on multiple time traveling adventures to save the world. With a few exceptions (for example, they knew who Ushiwakamaru was, as they were a fan), they don't know anything about history and mythology, so their companions have to fill them in. In battle, they are good at strategy and using their Servants' strengths to their fullest.

In Touhou Project, Mystia Lorelei canonically cannot read kanji ("fine print" in translation), yet runs a successful con act using her power to inflict Temporary Blindness to sell grilled lampreys as a folk cure for blindness, making her one of the most successful youkai in Gensokyo despite being functionally illiterate and on the business end of the Superpower Lottery (and a lot of poultry jokes).

The Fairly OddParents!: Timmy Turner is incredibly resourceful and able to outsmart adults, fairies, pixies, snarky genies, aliens and all sorts of other beings many times his age, but the series goes out of its way to ridiculously illustrate how bad he is with anything that involves academics, to the extent that it's a Running Gag that he always gets straight "F's." (Then again, his sadistic teacher Crocker seems to make it a point to give "F's" at every given oppertunity.)

The world of Temeraire features several people like this, though it certainly wouldn't be uncommon as public schooling was all but unthought of during the Napoleonic wars. Laurence forced himself to cram the necessary mathematics to be a sailor into his head when he was a boy, but was not much skilled beyond that, and had little love for books. Laurence, though, is not a slow man by any means. However, it's subverted when Temeraire's love of books and joy in reading and knowledge infects Laurence. Laurence also insists that his adolescent ensigns and cadets do their schoolwork, when he's not so busy he forgets, and though they perform their duties ably and, as children and youth are wont to do, pick up languages faster than the adults in the crew, they show great resistance and dislike of it. Similarly, uneducated dragons, even from breeds not particularly renowned for thinking, prove quite capable of debating advanced mathematics with Temeraire. The trope is also inverted in a minor character, a lieutenant who, "If ships could be sailed by figures could sail around the world without fear" but when called to order others around habitually gives the wrong order.

Peanuts:
Peppermint Patty would rather be playing sports than sitting in a classroom, compounded by not getting much sleep weeknights because she waits for her father to get home from work at night. On the other hand, any girl her age who could be capable of mistaking a dog obedience school for a human school to the point of enrolling in it, "studying" with the dogs, graduating and being so sure that she doesn't have to go to regular human school because of that "diploma" is on her own level of stupidity. She already thinks Snoopy is a 'little kid with a big nose' and treats him accordingly. Remember, with Patty, we're quite far into Jock territory, too. As if she didn't have enough downward pressure on her grades.
Sally also has a lot of trouble in school, and often struggles with her homework despite Charlie Brown's patient efforts to help her. One of the strip's running jokes is the unintentionally humorous school reports she gives in front of the class, which are frequently inspired by malapropisms and end with her feeling humiliated as her classmates laugh at her. Some of her more memorable reports include "Santa and his Rain Gear", "Footbidextrousers" people, "The Bronchitis" (a dinosaur that supposedly went extinct from coughing too much), and her report on the oceans of the world, in which she reported there are no oceans in the individual landlocked states in the US.

Game of Thrones:
Being a smallfolk (commoner) who was only relatively recently elevated to the nobility by Stannis Baratheon for loyal service, Ser Davos Seaworth is illiterate until Season 3 as smallfolk don't generally learn how to read and write, but he is still one of the most intelligent characters on the show. He's a quick thinker and excellent strategist, and even the Book Dumb part is starting to disappear since Shireen began teaching him to read.
In "Battle of the Bastards," Tormund doesn't understand the strategic terms that Jon uses and takes the metaphor "had demons in him" literally.

Modern Family: Haley Dunphy gets middling grades at best, often misuses words larger than two syllables, and altogether considers thinking to be a "nerd" thing to avoid at all costs. However, she's shown to have a very cunning mind when she puts in the effort, from the time she convinced the family she had a waitress job (and then tricked them into thinking her mom's outburst got her fired when Alex tried to expose her), continually sees through her parents' manipulations, and even started up a successful fashion blog.

Played with in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!. Catarina is incredibly dim, but only socially. While she has absurd ideas of how she's supposed to learn magic and so on it's actually indicated a number of times that she gets average scores on tests when she tries. When she's not interested in something though she's capable of barely reaching double digit scores, though, so it's fortunate that she actually feels she needs to learn magic and so on.

Korra, as she's depicted in Project Voicebend, is terribly uninformed about a lot of subjects a girl her age should know about. She's barely literate, she doesn't know how to do basic maths, she has no idea what sex is or why she feels all tingly whenever she gets into a fight, among many other things. This is because the White Lotus taught her nothing besides how to bend the elements and beat people up. It's actually a very sensitive issue for her.

Danny Phantom: Danny Fenton while portrayed to be resourceful and clever in intense situations, is the standard C-student male teenage protagonist commonly seen in shows with High School settings. Of course, this is at least partially attributed to the notion that fighting ghosts constantly interferes with his studies. Nevertheless, his attitude towards his studies was subject to much varying. However, it's been averted once or twice, explaining why he didn't just do the obvious thing in a given situation (IE: Wishing a ghost who's playing genie into her containment) and instead spends the episode doing as he wants to do.

Da Orks in Warhammer 40,000. On the surface they look like a bunch of drunken soccer hooligans who can barely stack a couple crates up without smashing them to splinters, but looks can be deceiving. Just because charging at you with an axe held high and a loud bellow on their lips is their favorite tactic, doesn't mean it's all they do. Contrary to popular belief, they do indeed understand the concepts of flanking, high ground, suppressive fire, camouflage, feints, tactical withdrawals, and other such strategies. They have an entire god devoted to "Being Cunning" — specifically, Being Brutally Cunning — so don't let your guard down. Additionally, because of how their version of psi works, choosing not to roll with formal education is actually a very calculated and clever strategic decision. If they built an engineering college for the mekboys so they all understood how engines and aerodynamics work, making their hoverbikes go faster would no longer be as simple as a can of red paint.

Ozzy & Drix: An episode emphasized the importance of book learning in a painfully Anvilicious way. After Book Dumb Osmosis spends the entire episode berating Drix for not having any street smarts to offset his prodigious book smarts, it is ultimately Drix's book smarts that save the day. Ozzy, realizing for the last thirty seconds of the episode that book learning can sometimes go a long way, asks Drix to educate him. Drix obliges by quoting well known sciency things ("Well, for example, E=MC2") without offering anything resembling context, to which Ozzy reacts with obnoxiously exaggerated excitement.

In Hope for the Heartless (which takes place after the events of The Black Cauldron) Avalina is described this way. As a brush farmer, her education is not the best of quality, but her captor, the Horned King, recognizes her as a bright child and a passionate learner. For example, she can read better than many grown men, even if she mispronounces some things and halts in odd places (reading is a passion she's not have had much time for before her capture), but her arithmetic is at best poor and handwriting barely decipherable and she can't read maps. Not satisfied with such potential being wasted in meager duties, the mostly self-taught warlord decides to educate her himself, and she makes great progress.
Creeper, the Horned King's lackey, doesn't come off as very bright (at least in the lich's eyes). For example, he has Never Learned to Read. Avalina still argues that he has potential and convinces the Horned King to try to teach him. Eventually the lich begrudgingly concedes and is surprised to learn that the goblin can count to twenty and picked up from Avalina the skill to make a rope.

Ariel of Drowtales shows signs of this, including not knowing her clan's history outside of the romanticized versions she read though this makes sense considering Syphile's lackluster teaching (which consisted of giving Ariel a dictionary, something far beyond her ability to understand, and ordering her to read it) and the fact that she only spent about 5 years at Orthorbbae, significantly less than almost everyone else in her age group, and much of the time she did spend there was spent trying to avoid being attacked again after she was discovered to be a girl, and she's explicitly said to have not gotten very good grades as a result. Despite this she's been shown to be fairly intelligent in other areas and is very good at thinking on her feet.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
Rainbow Dash regularly expresses a strong jock attitude, often misunderstanding complicated words ("Tenacity?" "Gesundheit.") and (initially) fears the stigma of being known as an "egghead" who reads books, but she is a capable weather manager (which fans posit would require extensive academic training). "Testing, Testing, 1-2-3" goes even further, implying that she may have some sort of learning disability (hence her dislike of heavily academic subjects). It also shows that when she's flying, she's capable of processing and remembering large amounts of information very easily. In later seasons, it's shown that her book dumbness was entirely a façade, and the reason she had trouble learning in a classroom was not due to learning disabilities, but because she was bored.
Applejack is down-to-earth and fairly simpleminded (she refers to French as "speakin' in fancy") but has enough business sense to run her farm without any economic problems.

The Wire:
This is a major recurring motif among the street-level characters in the show. Many of the teenage characters are shown to struggle in school, while most of the adult dealers and hustlers have very little formal education—yet the show frequently shows that they're far from stupid, as it takes a great deal of cunning and intelligence (including maths skills) to survive on the streets of Baltimore. Highlighted in one memorable scene where a boy named Cyril struggles with his maths homework, despite having no problem keeping an accurate drug count while dealing on the corner.
Several of the detectives are also examples. Legal professionals who read their reports often gripe about their terrible spelling and grammar. Jimmy McNulty is the most prominent example. He's not particularly educated or well versed in academic subjects, but he's a brilliant detective and always sees himself as the smartest man in the room. After a disastrous date with a political strategist who is unimpressed by his blue collar lifestyle, he bristles, "I'm the smartest asshole in three districts and she looks at me like I'm some stupid fuck..."

Sharpe: Sharpe starts the series as this, being a Satisfied Street Rat with the education that entails in the late 18th century. Even after he learns to read (after three months with William Lawford and a page from The Bible in a cell in India) he never shows any interest until he gains a commission and gets married. After that, however, he becomes a voracious, if somewhat eclectic, reader.

Manolito from Mafalda and, to a lesser extent, Mafalda herself (Her report on "the British Invasion" was a drawing of hippie fans of The Beatles).

South Park: Trey Parker and Matt Stone have admitted that Eric Cartman is a genius: the smartest character in the show. However, he refuses to care about anything that does not immediately help him, especially school. He never pays attention in school and remains ignorant. Despite this problem, he forms very detailed plans, considers complex issues and is a brilliant manipulator. Despite this, he demonstrates frequent belief in totally ungrounded assumptions (which, given the nature of the South Park 'verse, are sometimes proven true.) An excellent example: in one episode, Cartman is horrified to find that there are more minorities at the local water park than white people and does a complex series of calculations to determine the population ratios and rate of change. Stan then remarks that this is "more math than I've ever seen you do," to which Cartman snaps "Because this is important!"'

Gwen and Lesley from The Ruby Red Trilogy don't really pay attention at school (except in History class) and 'study' by watching popular movies only loosely related to the topic, yet outside of school, they are able to hold their own in trying to figure out and navigate the complex conspiracies of the Guardians. This is sharply contrasted with Gideon and Charlotte, who have received intensive education practically since birth in historical knowledge and skills designed to let them fit seamlessly into past eras, but have also been successfully indoctrinated to play their roles in the Guardians without question or complaint and are unprepared for navigating healthy friendships and relationships in their own era.

Excalibur (Marvel Comics)'s Meggan was illiterate, and insecure around her Illuminati-level genius physicist boyfriend (later husband) Brian Braddock. She was learning to read and was able to write down phone messages by the end of the series. By the time of Captain Britain and MI13, she was capable of masterminding a revolution in Hell and doing a Deal with the Devil (Hades, to be more accurate) that actually worked out in her favor. However, she's still a bit insecure about her lack of education when it comes to her and Brian's Brainy Baby, as she worries that her baby won't need her.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
Raphael struggles academically and has a penalty in Reason, the most brain-intensive field. However, while he is a bit simpleminded, he also has a lot of practical knowledge, and his neutrality in Authority shows that he's not completely helpless.
While Felix isn't unintelligent in the slightest and at worst neutral with every physical weapon type and movement type, he also admits he's no good at tactics. He has weaknesses in Reason and Authority, the most brain/study-intensive fields. Interestingly, Reason is his Budding Talent — building it during classes will make good progress for becoming a Mortal Savant down the line. His supports with Ingrid show that he's capable of thinking outside of the box, but isn't interested in discussing tactics.

Bazil Broketail:
One of Relkin's greatest regrets — by his own admission — is that he lacks proper education, having finished only two classes in the local school. Nevertheless, throughout the series he still proves to be quite intelligent and insightful for a simple soldier. In book four, for example, he correctly identifies the weakness of a steel golem conjured by Gadjung the sorcerer and later also is not fooled in the least by Heruta's attempts at brainwashing him.
Bazil also qualifies. He doesn't seem to have received any formal education other than combat training, but he still repeatedly displays wisdom and knowledge beyond that. This is most prominent in book five, where he learns the language of Ardu (and actually does better job at it than Relkin), later takes leadership over them, organizes them into an army that he leads against slavers of Mirchaz and actually proves to be a brilliant tactician — all this despite having no education in strategy and the dragons' hat of being generally poor at planning.
Unlike Relkin, who finished two classes in local school at least, Mono received no formal education at all. He claims that wife of his houselord Goole taught him how to read and write (though he admits he was never good at the latter), as well as some basic mathematics, and that's it.
Count Trego is an utter ignoramus in every matter except warfare and details of Czardhan nobility affairs. Argonathi witch Endysia actually embarrasses him by revealing that she read the Ballads of Medon, an exquisite work of art written in his homeland — that Count Trego himself has never read, only picking the most popular parts. Still, his gradual development into a better man shows that he is quite intelligent and capable of learning things previously unthinkable to him if he wants to.

The Murderbot Diaries: Murderbot is far from stupid but has wide gaps in its education by virtue of having spent most of its life, occasionally leading to it making a Note to Self to do things like look up what a "metaphor" actually is or using "anagram" instead of "acronym" either in internal monologue or in conversation. Also not helping is that much of Murderbot's actual experience of how human society works outside of the areas a SecUnit is actually supposed to be is drawn from TV shows it binged on Space Netflix.

The titular hero of Paperinik New Adventures jokes that he only graduated of kindergarten due to seniority, and does tend to leave most of the research to his AI Voice with an Internet Connection. He is, however, far from stupid, quick on his feet, and good at putting information into good use once he's been brought up to speed. Ironically, when teaming up with Xadhoom, he tends to be the brains in the duo, because Xadhoom, despite being one of the most intelligent beings in the universe, is so powerful that she usually doesn't need to bother with strategy beyond "blow up everything," so her planning skills are severely underused.

The Librarians: Compared to Flynn Carsen (22 academic degrees), Jacob Stone (world's foremost expert on art history with several Ph.D.s and honorary doctorates), and Cassandra Cillian (a genius-level mathematician), Ezekiel Jones (world's greatest thief) and Eve Baird (colonel in a special UN counterterrorism unit) seem like outliers. Ezekiel doesn't like to read much and tends to scoff at Jacob's knowledge of art. Despite this, he has incredible street smarts, self-taught skills of getting out of any situation, and knowledge of the criminal underworld. Eve, on the other hand, doesn't need to be book smart, when she has three (sometimes four) Librarians, whose knowledge and skills she knows how to direct, as well a good leader should.

Jesse Pinkman, from Breaking Bad, never did well in class, especially Walter White's chemistry class, and speaks in a particular vernacular that does not make him seem very intelligent. When it comes to actually performing chemistry, however, he is surprisingly talented: he actually understands Walt's formula for his sky blue meth instead of just simply following a recipe, and not only is he one of the only three people who can cook meth with purity in excess of 90% (the others being Gale Boetticher and Walt himself), but once managed to create a batch of Walt's formula out of a cramped RV meth lab by himself.

Luke, the protagonist of Tales of the Abyss goes well beyond Book Dumb to not knowing nearly anything, being completely ignorant about his own world or the way people live. He even unwittingly shoplifts from a food stand because he doesn't know how stores work. While he is observant and resourceful and clearly fairly intelligent, having lost all his childhood memories coupled with his belligerent attitude makes it difficult to teach him anything. Of course, this functions as a convenient way for the other characters to explain even the most basic common knowledge about the game world to the player.
Then you find out it might be more justified than it previously appears, since he's actually only seven-years-old. And been cooped up in his own house the entire time to boot. This also means he's much smarter than it seems at first; how many seven-year-olds can arrange a peace treaty meeting or quickly realize the methods needed to save the world when just handed brief explanations?
Tales of Symphonia's Lloyd Irving is like this. Starts off completely clueless, but by the time Martel shows up you get the feeling that Lloyd has figured out exactly how to plow through the Gambit Pileup. Dawn of the New World pretty much confirms this, because even when you consider that most of the evil deeds that Lloyd was blamed for were actually Decus in disguise, the real Lloyd is still pretty much running his own plan, as evidenced by his demanding the cores and then running away when he realizes he's outnumbered by his former friends, rather than just joining up with them. Yet, despite now being nearly twenty, academics-wise, he's still only managed to get around to memorizing his multiplication tables, as revealed in a skit with Raine.
Tales of Vesperia has its own protagonist, Yuri Lowell. Though he is the one that keeps the party steps ahead of the other groups throughout the game, he states outright that he has little patience for reading. While most of the others in the party tend to be experts in their (book) researched fields, they each end up relying on Yuri for his street smarts. That said, he's also a Guile Hero; his lack of academic interest is out of laziness, not lack of brains.

Elvis from Bravely Default II used to be such a huge mess as a student of Lady Emma's class. Most of his mistakes somehow revolved around setting his head or his clothes on fire, accidentally throwing the mysterious book into the fire but luckily finding out it's magically durable, he often fell asleep during her lectures and was often left behind instead of getting help from her, and his idea of training to traverse the Wayward Woods is to get lost in there and figure out a way to find the exit. Emma's notes do point out that what he lacked in smarts was made up with the potential he had, but even in the present day, Elvis leaves a lot to be desired that not anyone in the team dares to seek sage advice from him.

Never Have I Ever: Paxton. The reason why he's in Mr. Shapiro's class is because he flunked it as a sophomore.

Teddy from Neighbors might be this. His grades are very poor (because he apparently never goes to class) and he's hopelessly naive about the 'legacy' of Delta Psi but otherwise he seems pretty sharp in contrast to the genuinely stupid likes of Scoonie and Garf. Notably he realises the importance of winning over the neighbours (at least at first) and it's his idea to sell Delta Psi dildos, making the fraternity a lot of money.

Code Lyoko: Ulrich Stern and Odd Della Robbia demonstrate this trope (in contrast to teammates Jérémie and Aelita); Odd's mostly due to laziness since he's been shown to be quite capable if he decides to be, and neither of them are helped by their Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World lifestyle; in Ulrich's case, this is a source of contention for his overbearing father.

Derek "Del Boy" Trotter of Only Fools and Horses was always more interested in making money down the market than school, which for him was mostly a way to hang out with his friends. He has a shockingly poor grasp of just about every academic subject, save for maths where his decades of wheeling and dealing have left him with fantastic mental arithmetic. Despite all this he is an excellent Guile Hero, able to outwit people much better educated and successful than himself. One memorable instance involved him confessing to a crime moments after receiving a legally binding declaration that he couldn't be arrested for his involvement with it. His Book Dumb nature means that he is so frequently wrong about things that when he is secretly acting out one of his brilliant plans, even the audience is fooled.

In Returning, a Ravenclaw student, Lyra, struggles with theory and obviously has a very fast and loose approach to note-taking (the excerpt we see is peppered with misheard words and commentary). She's also an Inept Mage, which makes her a far from promising Hogwarts student.

The Legend of Yan-Kan Mar: Toki (formerly Yan-Kan) is illiterate due to her social standing never allowing her to go to school back when the Taiko ruled the world. When given the chance she still doesn’t go to school, but rather gets a job while her sisters get a proper education.

While it's not uncommon for serial killers covered by The Last Podcast on the Left to be school dropouts, Pee-Wee Gaskins earns special mention here as his autobiography, Final Truth, is described by Marcus as having surprising insight into the psychosis of serial killers despite Gaskins dropping out at age eleven, being more classifiable as a "mass murderer" than "serial killer", and such studies not yet being part of the common public consciousness. Marcus and Henry quote one section in particular, in which Pee-Wee accurately describes a type of Serial Escalation common to serial killers, where after the first, most difficult kill, they have to do a little bit more to maintain the thrill and grow steadily more sloppy as they do.

Sagara Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!. He doesn't tend to do very well in school. Granted, it's not like he has a lot of street smarts in relation to normal people's survival and lives either, but... he sure is good at fighting and surviving in the combat zone. Not to mention his knack for rescuing people. An episode shows that Sousuke's problem is he is just unable to think outside of military terms and situations. He reads classic poetry and somehow comes to the conclusion that it's talking about a World War II Naval battle.

Gravity Falls: Both Mabel Pines and "Grunkle" Stan Pines in contrast to their more bookish and academically talented brothers. Although he's not college-educated, Stan's shrewd business acumen and strength as a con man are second to none, and he managed to fix the broken portal just by reading up extensively on physics despite his lack of experience in the field. Mabel is highly creative and socially gifted, to say nothing of her mean hand with a grappling hook.
