Dumb Is Good	comment	Here's how it plays out: Smart People are mean and Dumb People are nice. Typically, geniuses are psychotic and high-strung, idiots are nice and sweet, because Ignorance Is Bliss. In comedy pairs, the genius will often smack around the idiot. The smart character will be mean because he is arrogant and literally doesn't suffer fools gladly. In more sympathetic portrayals, the smart character is good underneath, but made cynical and bitter by his keen intellect, which allows him to see that the world sucks, or their lives will one day end. Inversely, the dumb character has no reason to be continuously happy, other than to provide a foil for the smart character, to show that being all smart all the time makes you unlikable, miserable or both, and why would you choose to be that way if ignorance is bliss? This trope can also be applied to intelligence itself, with the Book Dumb (who doesn't show himself to be that dumb) hero's street smarts and practical experience being shown as superior to academics whose knowledge is dusty, dry and doesn't work in the real world, another tenet of Anti-Intellectualism. Indeed, it is always risky to assume that an uneducated character (or an uneducated person in Real Life, for that matter) will always be dumb. A character may become smart purely through private study, life experience, or just plain Awesomeness by Analysis. Simply hanging around intelligent or cultured people can help, too. This is a pretty common trope in many films, especially Oscar Bait. Intelligent and rational people are portrayed as emotionally unfulfilled, neglectful of their family and friends, mean, or corrupt, and contrasted with a simple-minded, often mentally-delayed character with a heart of gold. It may be caused by the This Loser Is You effect, since Viewers Are Morons; also closely related to Book Dumb. Also likely to believe that School Is for Losers. Not to be confused with Good Is Dumb. This can extend to intellectual pursuits, leading to Straw Vulcan, Science Is Bad or even Science Is Wrong. Can also lead to an Idiot Hero and/or Brains Evil, Brawn Good due to Brains Versus Brawn. Often found with a Minion with an F in Evil character. A direct inversion of Good Is Not Dumb. Another inversion is an Insufferable Imbecile; a mentally disabled jerk may invoke the Disability as an Excuse for Jerkassery. Contrast with Gentleman and a Scholar, in which an intelligent character is one of the most pleasant, thoughtful, and well-adjusted people around. Try not to get this and Silent Protagonist mixed up, along with the Kindhearted Simpleton (whose levels of stupidity, friendliness, tolerance, and patience can relate, but they mainly differ by the Kindhearted Simpleton's qualities by their evident compassion, altruistic dialog/behavior, sympathetic communication, massive naivete, and the quality of being a genuinely simple person who has unintelligence or lack common-sense yet has an evident heart of gold and good-nature as opposed to the Dumb Is Good with just being friendly, reasonable at times, and The Ditz). Contrast The Brute, a villain that while often lacking in intelligence can still be a threat to our heroes with their brute strength. Also contrast Stupid Crooks, which is about none-too-bright criminals, whose stupidity is meant to be mocked.

Dumb Is Good / int_13b6da8c	comment	Subverted in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog; The Good Captain is big and dumb and a completely insensitive jerk, while the titular Doctor Horrible is by far a more sympathetic character despite his Morally Ambiguous Doctorate. While he does have a fairly low opinion of people in general, it seems to not be meant in a malevolent way; as he himself says, "The world is a mess and I just need to rule it" ... presumably as (in his mind at least) a benevolent dictator. On the other hand, he is trying very hard to join an organization called "The Evil League of Evil", which name pretty much says it all. So it's also half played straight — smart and dumb are both jerks. This ideal is actually promoted by Captain Hammer himself in the comics, with him stating that smart kids or anyone that doesn't immediately fit mainstream's perception of normal should all be thrown into jail. The audience of course is expected to know that he's just spouting [BS].

Dumb Is Good / int_1494ba00	comment	Animalia: Played with, when Alligator actress Alegra becomes highly intelligent after accidentally absorbing Livingstone's intelligence, causing her to suddenly become a dangerously Evil Genius, to the point Livingstone's rival Tyranicus ended up helping the protagonist to get the intelligence back because he'd rather have his rival in perfect state than an intelligent Alegra.Partially subverted in that Alegra wasn't really a nice person to begin with (though her normal self does displays a softer side occasionally), whereas Livingstone, when possessing his natural hight intelligence, is portrayed as an extremely wise and kind person. As such, the message would rather be that intelligence is a gift that can cause as much harm as good, depending who's possessing it.

Dumb Is Good / int_14f0b02	comment	In Flowers for Algernon, protagonist Charlie Gordon is a mentally challenged man mocked by most of the people he knows for being retarded. Then he participates in an experiment that makes him a genius, except he's still alienated because most of the people in this world are now half his IQ, so he can't relate to them. Plus, they're frightened/frustrated/jealous of his superior brains. The difference is that when he was retarded, he didn't realize when people were making fun of him, so he was able to be naive and happy. Then when the experiment fails and Charlie regresses to an IQ in the 70s, he becomes happy again and people start liking him out of pity.

Despite his reputation as an anodyne kids show host, Mr. Rogers studied child development under Margaret Mc Farland at the University of Pittsburgh, and used what he learned in order to make one of the most developmentally appropriate children's shows on the air. From the use of transition scenes (the Trolley) to the frank discussion of emotions (which seems banal to adults, but is necessary for children so that they can begin to understand their own emotions and deal with them), Mister Rogers put his intelligence to use to serve children, rather than to sell them toys or junk food.

Dumb Is Good / int_21b21f35	comment	BoJack Horseman: Highly intelligent characters like BoJack, Carolyn, and Diane tend to be a lot less happy than dumber characters like Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter. In the first episode, BoJack even says of Mr Peanutbutter, "he's so stupid that he doesn't even realize how miserable he should be. I envy that." Made somewhat more realistic when character development reveals that Todd isn't so much stupid as he is naive and clueless, and that Mr. Peanutbutter has a cynical side combined with a cultural dislike of expressing negative feelings. And BoJack's intelligence doesn't actually translate into acting ability or common sense — it just makes him able to see exactly what is happening as he repeatedly ruins his own life.

He's the most manipulative (tied with Frank) and is implied to be The Sociopath, a rapist, attracted to his sister, and a Serial Killer. Illiterate Charlie is the least selfish person in the gang and his most villainous moments make him seem more intelligent. However, this is only true within the gang, as the gang themselves are both stupid and bad people. Others are shown to be both smarter and morally superior.

Dumb Is Good / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In the episode "HOMR", in which the normally stupid Homer gets a crayon dislodged from his brain, making him slightly more intelligent than average (Homer: Is there no room in the world for somebody with a 103 IQ? ) . However, he quickly loses his friends due to his intelligence. Then Lisa tells him the sad "truth": As intelligence goes up, happiness goes down. Smart Homer sees only one recourse — re-insert the crayon through his nose... Lisa is consistently (and for some, obnoxiously) portrayed as both the most intelligent and morally upright person in the family. She is frequently disliked by classmates and feels isolated and depressed as a result of her intelligence. She might sometimes save all of Springfield and be right a lot (at least, in the view of the writers) but she pays a heavy cost. Maybe the message is that Dumb Is Good most of the time, but you also need smart people around to occasionally save your ass. One episode had the people with the highest IQs put in charge of the town. It was a complete disaster, largely due to their arguing over who was the smartest. Ned Flanders isn't smart like Lisa, but he always sticks to his Christian values in doing the right thing and being a good neighbor to everyone, which gets him labeled as an extremely boring guy and Homer is constantly annoyed by him. Even when Homer or someone else tries to show Ned how to have a good time, Ned doesn't know how to relax or let loose because he fears doing something un-Christian may get him condemned to Hell or the like.

Dumb Is Good / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Naruto typically uses his brain last in dealing with any given situation, but it's usually because he acts from the goodness of his heart before anything else. This is a sharp contrast with many of the more intelligent characters, such as Sasuke, Neji, and even Sakura, who are generally colder and meaner when they are first introduced (at least at first). The First Hokage Senju Hashirama. A tremendous shock to fans and to the ninja who find this stern, noble historical figure cracking bad jokes, going off on tangents, and sulking like a 5-year-old. Obito Uchiha. His personality is nearly identical to Naruto. Interestingly enough, on becoming Big Bad Tobi, he also becomes smarter. Subverted with Shikamaru Nara. According to his sensei Asuma, Shikamaru's IQ clocks out at over 200, and his combat style largely consists of staying in the rear and thinking extra hard about how to use his comrades like chess pieces to defeat the enemy (coupled with use of his shadow possession jutsu in creative and inventive ways). But his intelligence comes with increased empathy: he's better able to imagine all the possible ways his comrades might be hurt or killed, and then figure out how to prevent it. His first mission as a leader ends with him in the hospital crying because until Tsunade comes out and tells him that they all made it through their medical procedures and will recover he doesn't know if half the team died under his command. "...Next time the mission will go perfectly...!"

Dumb Is Good / int_334120fc	comment	This is played with, though not directly touched upon in 8-Bit Theater. Of the four protagonists, three are self-serving rogues who are often committing or willing to commit actions far worse than most of their antagonists. The only character who could conceivably be called a hero is the one oblivious enough not to realize that his companions are incapable of altruism and that their schemes are often evil. However, it should be noted that he is sometimes shown to be a Genius Ditz and the other members aren't really that smart either. However, outside of the main cast, Whitemage stands out as an example of a character who is both good and quite canny. Meanwhile, several very stupid characters are shown to be malicious, some of whom [King Steve] are capable of real harm while others are largely harmless due to their incompetence [but not for lack of intent or the internal frustration and bitterness which most happy-go-lucky heroes avoid]. So on the whole it seems like the trope is averted but played with to a degree as the stupider villains are often treated as harmless while Fighter remains a good guy but may at times cause as much harm as his evil cohorts without realizing the consecquences of his own actions.

While the genius characters aside from Frylock certainly aren't nice or sympathetic by any means, being the kind of show this is, the most malicious characters are also the stupidest (e.g. Oglethorpe, The Mooninites, and Shake. Especially Shake). The few nice characters tend to be more intelligent than most of the cast. Played straight and subverted with Meatwad. While generally dumb and nice, he's only this way because of his place in the pecking order. When he gets any amount of power or leverage over someone, he picks up the Jerkass ball very quickly.

Of course, he was never shown breaking legs for the loan shark, and he refused to break a man's thumbs.

Dumb Is Good / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Son Goku from Dragon Ball. It gives you a clue if naive Goku who doesn't even know the difference between boys and girls can ride on Nimbus, a cloud which only allows those pure of heart to ride, while Bulma, quite possibly the smartest female on the planet, can't. To quote Goku: One reason Goku isn't as violent as the rest of his race is because he suffered a severe head injury when he was a baby. So he's only a good guy due to head trauma. The villain from the Non-serial movie The Tree of Might Tullece is essentially a look at what kind of person Goku would have become if he hadn't cracked his skull. He's pretty much identical to Goku physically and shares similar love of food and drink, but he's an intelligent and utterly twisted villain. Averted with Son Gohan, the son of Goku. He is just as much a good guy as his father and uses the Nimbus from time to time. He is also a scholar who gets top marks and a solid job to support his family.

Dumb Is Good / int_3f3abe9	comment	Played with in Rick and Morty. In the first two seasons, Rick is a genius and Morty is an idiot. Rick smacks Morty around and doesn't care about anyone else, while Morty is nice but weak and useless. In the episode Rickcounters of the Rick-kind we meet Alternate Universe Doofus Rick, who is a nice person, and Evil Morty, who seems to be much smarter than the other Morty's. In Season 3, Morty is shown becoming smarter as a result of his adventures with Rick, but also to be turning more cynical and less good.

Dumb Is Good / int_3f4a104b	comment	Averted many times in Dilbert. The negative consequences of stupidity is probably the most recurring theme of all, and the majority of the strips deal with the protagonist's struggle against his obtuse colleagues and bosses as well as the Kafkaesque workplace they inhabit. Paradoxically, you could also say that the trope is played straight at the same time, as there are several occasions where intelligence and skill is portrayed as a serious (and sometimes fatal) drawback.

Dumb Is Good / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld novels will occasionally feature a stupid, more sympathetic Dumb Muscle villain (Banjo of Hogfather, Lemon of Soul Music, and Mr. Tulip of The Truth all leap to mind) who gets a more favourable end than his cunning partner in crime, but this is more to show how easily stupid people can be led astray. The heroes are usually quite intelligent. Possibly played straight with Brutha from Small Gods. Despite his fantastic memory, he is considered a bit dim by most other characters. Nevertheless, he is compassionate and noble, and is the only one of Om's many worshipers to actually believe in him. It may be that his simplicity is the reason he never questioned what he was taught to believe (as opposed to everyone else, who simply go through the motions out of tradition and fear). This is explicitly subverted with the characters of Carrot and Vimes. Carrot is a good natured, kind, and generally optimistic person who is often described as "simple". After this description, however, the books never forget to mention that "simple" doesn't mean stupid, and as the books go on it is clear that Carrot has an incredible deductive mind. Vimes, on the other hand is a cynical grouch who has little use for most people around him, but it's made clear that he truly loves his city and those who work under him, not to mention his wife and son. Cohen and his 'horde' from Interesting Times can't exactly be called smart (except for 'Teach'), but they are extremely skilled fighters. All of these simple-but-good examples could be considered cases where wisdom contributes to goodness more than intellect. Granny Weatherwax, who is extremely intelligent, has said that if you know what's good and what's evil, you can't choose to be evil. She's extremely mean-spirited when she has a chance to be, but is solidly on the side of good. She would have enjoyed evil more, but it simply isn't an option.

However, he is bar none the nicest guy in the guild, being one of only two members of the inner Circle (the other being Kodlak, the Harbinger) to be even remotely welcoming to the Dragonborn when s/he joins them. Although the others gradually warm up to the Dragonborn, Farkas is friendly from the first meeting, to the point where he's a legitimate contender for the nicest follower in the entire game. It should be noted, though, that Farkas is actually a subversion of the trope; while he is as good as he initially seems, he's not as dumb as everyone would have you think.

Thus, the dumbest and the smartest person in the party are the nicest, with the two in the middle picking up the "nasty" slack (although Nodwick has an extremely caustic tongue, particularly in regards to Yeagar and Artax's antics).

Dragon gave an explanation as to why in "Ecology of the Lizardfolk" (Dragon #335) that basically amounts to this; D&D's lizardfolk are deeply religious beings, and worship Semuanya, a hermaphrodite deity whose mentality is that of an animal, existing only to feed and breed. In their creation mythos, Semuanya once had a mate named Kecuala who, unlike Semuanya, was an intellectual who constantly thought about the world around itself and worried over what to do in order to survive. This eventually caused it to split into the first male and female lizardfolk, much to Semuanya's grief. Thus, lizardfolk literally demonize intelligence as evil, an unnatural and wasteful attribute, and deliberately try to be as feral as possible in hopes of one day restoring Kecuala to life.

Only he would think stealing back his confiscated stuff from a teacher in order to pawn them off to buy a little girl a stuffed animal for her sister would be a good idea. His idiocy infuriates his female friends but his pure actions and motives unwittingly win him their hearts.

This is played with when Brain makes Pinky intelligent and, finding out that an intelligent Pinky is actually smarter than him, comes to realize he is the reason they always fail (proved mathematically no less) and reduces his own intelligence. The subversion is that Pinky is still happy, energetic, and full of "Narf" when he is intelligent while the Brain, though he does suddenly find rather silly things funny all of a sudden, retains his unhappy personality.

Dumb Is Good / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Zigzagged. Due to being an Audience Surrogate, Commander Shepard technically falls under this due to having very little knowledge of the massively known universe. S/he is really more Genre Blind in the beginning of the game rather than dumb, but the council and other NPCs in the game classify Shepard as being dumb anyway. It's justified as Shepard was simply a random soldier serving under a highly intelligent captain before being promoted to a Spectre without much warning. Fortunately, the commander proves to be a very fast learner after asking many questions about others and wisely takes in different aliens to help him/her, despite his superiors calling him/her foolish for even trusting these allies. It eventually all pays off for Shepard in the end. Subverted with the krogan warrior Urdnot Wrex. If Shepard takes the time to befrend Wrex, he reveals that he's actually very intelligent, he's just bitter about how his species has become self-destructive. Should he survive the first game, he goes on to attempt to educate his people to try and make them more than the dumb brutes the galaxy things that all krogan are. Played with in Jack's case. She never had a normal life, resulting in her never gaining a basic education, social skills, or a care for following society's rules in general. However, after her Heelâ€“Face Turn she becomes a noble hero who violently thrashes any villains who attempt to harm her students. Hilariously, she still has trouble with handling her paperwork.

None of the characters are incredibly smart, but Caboose, who is dumb as they come, is definitely the happiest of the bunch, as was once commented on by Church. Also, he seems to try to be helpful to his teammates, but, well, he's Caboose. Grif is surly, uncooperative, and would, in general, rather not be here (wherever here happens to be at the moment). He's also been noted to be the smartest member of the Red Team (although, all things considered, this is more a judgment on his teammates rather than being particularly complementary towards Grif). Similarly, Donut is usually very happy. One could even call him gay. He's only marginally smarter than Caboose. Their happy yet simple natures allow them to quickly become friends when Donut is captured.

The smartest characters are either greedy and selfish (and this is just a description of those in his crew), manipulative, sadistic, homicidal, and schematically vile. And that's not even mentioning Sir Crocodile and Eneru. Though both Tony Tony Chopper (a skilled doctor) and Franky (a skilled shipwright) are both quite intelligent and good-hearted individuals, if not wildly eccentric and there are your fair share of violent and dumb brutes. Chopper also happens to be very naÃ¯ve, and will often react right alongside Luffy, and also has an odd tendency to "hide" on the wrong side of a door. Franky seems to be more on Sanji or Zoro's level of "dumb", while still being a great engineer.

Later, when Gunter's hat gets broken and thus only gives him average intelligence, he finds that he's much happier that way and decides to attend business school, much to Farnsworth's ire. Mars University also parodies this trope with its motto, "knowledge brings fear."

Regardless, Aaron Sorkin does not so much subvert the trope as reject it, shoot it, string it upside down from a lamp post and spit on it. Much of Seasons 3 and 4 witness President Bartlet and his staff rejecting anti-intellectualism and extolling the virtues of education and intelligence. It's a measure of what we normally see on TV that "extolling the virtues of education and intelligence" actually makes the show unique.

Ponyville's citizens take great pride in being ignorant, to the point that numbers are forbidden in Ponyville (as mentioned by Cheerilee, a schoolteacher). In Episode 7, Applejack, who is away retrieving her free iPod nanos, sends a letter saying that the free iPods were fake and that she's been kidnapped into slavery, but her friends completely ignore the message and think that, because she now knows how to write, she's been corrupted by knowledge and thinks of herself as too good for her friends. When her friends catch up to her, she eventually reveals a bomb that activated when she left the plantation, and explains the whole situation, but they still ignore what she's trying to say (lampshaded when Applejack asks "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" and her friends shake their heads). The story culminates in Applejack reporting to Princess Celestia that it's better to know nothing at all.

He's already kind of a jerk, making thoughtless comments about "smelly humans" and then half-heartedly apologizing for them, and even goes so far as to make a Faceâ€“Heel Turn upon gaining control of the Enrichment Center, where it takes literally seconds before he goes power-mad. We learn from GLaDOS that he was an "Intelligence Dampening Sphere" built to be as unintelligent as possible to hold her murderous tendencies back and distract her with bad ideas. He attempts to trick and kill Chell and does not care that his actions (or lack thereof) will cause the entire Enrichment Center to blow up. Ultimately he's plagued by poor common sense regardless of his morality. Throughout Portal, there's this distinct vibe concerning Prometheus. In Greek mythology, Prometheus was definitely lacking in hindsight, while his brother, Epithemus, is lacking in foresight. GLaDOS never learns from her mistakes, only altering her modus operandi in the later half of the game. Wheatley takes the role of Epithemus. Definitely learning from the mistakes of GLaDOS, but rarely thinking ahead to formulate plans or traps.

Intended to be merely an idiot hedonist, he was seen as one of the nicer characters in the series, and an entire episode was dedicated to sticking him in "duty mode", which had the result of making him several times more evil than Zim himself. It didn't stick. Played more straight with Keef, who's completely oblivious to the fact that Zim doesn't like him, but one of the only nice kids at Skool.

However, Depending on the Writer, he is near mindless or at least has a childlike mentality. Many of the times Hulk clashes with the heroes is due to some misunderstanding or someone fooling him into thinking one of the good guys did him wrong. His main villain is an Evil Genius named The Leader who has super intelligence. Likewise in Ultimate Marvel, Hulk defeats Abomination because the latter "thinks too much".

Dumb Is Good / int_b80e5912	comment	My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!: Zig-zagged by Catarina Claes. The original villainous version from the Dating Sim Fortune Lover was implied to be an unintelligent, impulsive Rich Bitch who wasn't given to deep plots, while the Japanese schoolgirl who reincarnated into her is so friendly and empathic that her classmates nicknamed her "Lady Saint" (Saint-sama)...but she's still not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Humorously, at one point in the story a group of girls accuses her of being a bully (like the original Catarina), only for her best friends to defend her by arguing that she's too dense to have pulled off the complex crimes they're accusing her of committing. Catarina, who's actually in the room while this is happening, is glad that her friends are sticking up for her but is too dense to realize they're insulting her. This comes up more in the spin-off On the Verge of Doom!. Catarina regains her memories years later, after she's already been a spoiled brat and a bully for over a decade. Gerald is willing to believe her Heelâ€“Face Turn simply because she's too stupid to keep up an act for long.

Dumb Is Good / int_bcadd7cb	comment	A major tenet of Imperial dogma in Warhammer 40,000. "Thought Begets Heresy; Heresy Begets Retribution" and "Only the Awkward Question; Only the Foolish Ask Twice" are two common quotes in the fluff. Within the metaphysics of the universe, close-minded dogmatism is one of the only things that can stop a normal human from falling to Chaos. Ogryns follow this tenet without knowing it. They have blind faith in the Emperor, and while some fought on the wrong side during the Horus Heresy, it is highly suspected that they were lied to about which side they were on. Ogryns embody another common Imperial view of this trope: "Blessed is the mind too small for doubt."

Dumb Is Good / int_fe6dcd31	comment	Another D&D example can be seen in the Greyhawk setting, with the deity Saint Cuthbert, who champions the "Street Smarts over book-learning" variant of this trope, championing common sense, folk wisdom and practicality over education, which tends to be demonized as inherently wasteful. One of his holy books is even "The Parables of the Wise Fool", a series of fables in which a Book Dumb but Street Smart "fool" bests various Know-Nothing Know-It-All types due to having good common sense and a practical mentality. The trope is zigzagged, though; Saint Cuthbert is quite plainly stated to be self-righteous, arrogant, and convinced of his own superiority, traits that have seen his Character Alignment fluctuate between "seriously flawed" Lawful Good and Well-Intentioned Extremist Lawful Neutral over the editions. His following is most common in the rural regions, where people are generally under-educated, and their reputation for both this trope and sharing their god's self-righteousness means that Cuthbertites have a reputation as "dumb, arrogant hicks" in cities.
