A standard sitcom family usually has one or more of the following: the reasonable mom, the obnoxious little brother/sister, the "misunderstood" teen girl, and the stupid loser dad. Of course, to round out the nuclear sitcom family, there's one more element needed to balance out the 2.4 kids... ...the Dumbass Teenage Son. As the name suggests, the character is male, a teenager, and incredibly stupid. Growing up and hitting puberty appears to have caused him to sacrifice some IQ points for height and hair. Often looked at with disdain by the rest of the family who view him as an annoyance at the worst of times, the Dumbass Teenage Son is often times easily tricked or manipulated by his other family members, even those younger than him. He has no aspirations of getting an education or a "real job", usually is The Slacker who skips school and spends his time goofing off. He dreams about becoming The Rock Star despite lacking in musical talent. More modern versions will have him aspire to be a rapper, an e-sports video game pro, or a YouTube streamer instead, typically with aspersions cast on those occupations. Sometimes, this character tends to pepper his sentences with Totally Radical phrases like "Dude!" or "Awesome!". Dumbass Teenage Sons are common in sitcoms but can be found in other genres as well. Sometimes they are shown to be Book Dumb or knowledgeable about certain things others don't know, but not all the time. Other times, they're average or slightly above academically but naive at first, and then get Flanderized into a box 'o rocks. They are rarely if ever the Main Character or get focused on unless it's being viewed with contempt by the rest of the family. May overlap with Dumb Jock if said teenager is portrayed as dimwitted but athletically fit, or Kiddie Kid if he acts childish in addition to being stupid. If he grows up and doesn't grow out of it, he's likely to become a Basement-Dweller and/or a Manchild. |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Carlton Banks is not dumb (he gets straight A's in school) but is still childish and naive, usually acting as a foil for Will and even his father Phil at times, who tells him to "Shut up" every now and then. | |

Destiny: You know the universe in general has problems with idiot teenagers when the local alien God of Evil has one. Crota, Son of Oryx, is good at killing... and not much else, he also being something of a reckless numbskull who is partially responsible for accidentally releasing the Vex into the universe and letting them colonize his father's own pet universe for over a century to show off to his sisters. He was goaded into it, but come on. | |

Theo Huxtable from The Cosby Show starts off like this, with the first episode in particular demonstrating a lack of intelligence when it comes to school. Later on in the show's run, he's eventually diagnosed with dyslexia and starts working to overcome it. By the end of the series, he's become a teacher. His character in the earlier seasons was criticized by African-American groups for perpetuating the idea that teenage black boys, unlike black teenage girls, like his sister, were academic underachievers. |

All over the place in the Disney Channel Live-Action Universe: Cameron's probably the third dumbest person in A.N.T. Farm, behind his Bumbling Dad & Paisley The Ditz. PJ in Good Luck Charlie is a Genius Ditz. A good example would be his boss putting him on the case to find out whose been stealing chicken from the restaurant. It was the boss himself, and he put PJ on the case because he figured he was too stupid to work it out. Jackson in Hannah Montana comes off as this frequently, though he's more Book Dumb than anything. Zack from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody was a Bratty Half-Pint as well but got dumber as he got older. Averted with his twin brother, Cody, who became an Insufferable Genius. Like The Above In Wizards of Waverly Place Justin is always studying and top of the class in every Subject, Max on the other hand falls into this category. The beginning of the show had him as more of a Cloud Cuckoo Lander than a ditz, though he was Flanderized into being very ditzy. The Disney tradition continues with Logan on I Didn't Do It There's also Ernie from K.C. Undercover, though he's a slight subversion being a Genius Ditz. |

Junyer Bear from the Looney Tunes Three Bears shorts. He appears to be a teenager, and yet he still wears diapers. In A Bear for Punishment, he says he is "age seven-and-a-half." Maybe he has gigantism along with his stupidity. |

Axl from The Middle. He's both the oldest and the most immature of the Heck kids. Though Axl tends to fall heavily on the lazy side of the Brilliant, but Lazy scale. When challenged by his parents, Axl actually managed to maintain a 3.0 GPA in his first year of college, and an episode where he's paired with his sister for a class project shows him engineering a lot of events by using his social status and calling in favors to fix a mistake with it. |

Kyle Clayton from World's Greatest DadL not only is he lazy and stupid, he’s also a massive Jerkass. His stupidity eventually gets him killed: early on he’s seen asphyxiating himself while masturbating; despite his father’s warning he does it again, this time he doesn’t survive. | |

Drake from Drake & Josh is like this, but at times is shown to be Brilliant, but Lazy. He devises a plan that would enable him and Josh to ride a Roller Coaster and be able to get back in time to watch over their Grandfather before their parents got back.

Iosef Tarasov in John Wick kicks off the plot of the entire franchise by breaking into John's house with his goons and trashing the place, leaving John for dead, and killing his dog, all because he wanted John to sell him his Cool Car and wouldn't take no for an answer. His father Viggo lets him have it when he finds out, realizing that Iosef just reawakened a Retired Badass who now not only has a vendetta against him and, by extension (since he's the son of a mob boss who will, at the end of the day, still defend his family), Viggo's entire organization, but has the means to actually do serious damage. | |

Downplayed with Peter Fox of Foxtrot. While he does play his electric guitar at wall-blasting volumes, he's otherwise mostly intelligent, his life revolving mostly around food and the fact that he can't seem to grow facial hair, gain weight or get muscles. A bad grade on a physics test was brought about by over-doodling on a diagram rather than a lack of brains. Mind you, being smarter than his dad isn't a real high hurdle to clear. | |

Urusei Yatsura: Ataru Moroboshi starts off as this but as the series goes on, he becomes slightly smarter. He's still an Hormone-Addled Teenager in the end chasing after teenage girls, regardless of species. | |

Deconstructed with Inigo in Fire Emblem: Awakening. During their B support his father accuses him of being a carefree fool who only cares about chasing skirts after Inigo is wounded in battle, causing Inigo to promptly explode that no, that is not the case: Even more so: If Chrom is Inigo's father, Chrom's Future Past talk with the Inigo of the other world reveals that this version of Chrom!Inigo (and most likely the one you recruit) additionally has massive issues because he views himself as inferior as his older sister Lucina, and believes himself to be unworthy of holding up Chrom's legacy. But Chrom will tell him otherwise. |

Chris Griffin of Family Guy is one but due to lack of focus, the viewers don't really see him acting dumb. Also, given how monumentally stupid his father is he can't help but look smarter by comparison. | |

In Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception, the title character plays this stereotype to a tee when out to steal a rare painting. He poses as the dim-witted, smart-mouthed, video game-obsessed son of his bodyguard, Butler, as a successful distraction to the fact that's really a Teen Genius who's about to pull off the theft of a unique painting that is highly celebrated in the criminal underworld. | |

Thunk the teenage son of the Croods from The Croods is easily the least intelligent of the family, his idiocy often leads to him getting injured in a comedic fashion. | |

From The Sopranos, we have Tony Soprano's son Anthony Junior (AJ), who is a lazy and spoiled kid without any real drive or ambitions in life. He frequently performed poorly in school, until eventually dropping out of college. | |
