When a character does something wrong (such as in school) or does something remarkably stupid they're shown wearing a large, white, coned shaped hat. "DUNCE" in large red letters, or a large "D", may be added for humiliation related purposes, or to exaggerate it. The character will likely be sitting on a stool in the corner, staring at the walls, as a punishment. A variant is the "donkey ears" cap, formerly favored in France. It's what a Court Jester stereotypically wears. Dunce (earlier, "dunce disciple") was derived from the name of John Duns Scotus (from Duns in Scotland), the Franciscan Scholastic philosopher, by the 16th century Renaissance and Protestant opponents of Scholasticism. Historically, heretics on their way to the stake were forced to wear such a tall pointed cap, often with a letter painted on it to identify their type of heresy against God and the Church. This denoted that in the eyes of the Inquisition, the wearer was an obdurate heretic who had refused every reasonable offer to renounce their heresy and return to the straight and narrow path. In the eyes of people watching, it was supposed to be public humiliation. While it is now long out of practice it is still often used in cartoons for a rather comedic effect. Compare the Japanese counterpart, Standing in the Hall, which has a similar status. |

One of the new additional powerups in the Afertbirth DLC of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is a dunce cap that gives the player character permanently crossed eyes. It's also one of the biggest examples of a Power Up Letdown as it makes it so your shots only go at diagonals instead of straight, almost as if saying the player would have to be a dunce to take it (outside of certain item combinations) | |

Though minus the dunce cap, in Anne of Green Gables, Anne Shirley is forced to stand in front of the class with "Ann Shirley has a very bad temper. Ann Shirley must learn to control her temper" written on the board behind her as punishment for smashing her slate over Gilbert Blythe's head for calling her "Carrots". | |

In Chapter 6 of Super Danganronpa 2: When all your waifus are dead, when Hajime is roasting Junko in his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to her, Junko at one point is suddenly wearing a Dunce Cap which reads "Psycho THOT" as a clown face fades in over her own. To worsen the humiliation, the ghosts of all of her dead classmates from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, including Junko's own sister Mukuro, are seen laughing their asses off about this in the background. | |

Hollowtale: In a side comic, Sans repeatedly proves himself to be a bad influence to the Knight, introducing them to rude gestures, smoking and consuming ketchup as food, much to Papyrus's irritation. The last straw turned out to be when the Knight reveals to Papyrus that Sans taught them how to say "asshole" in sign language. Shortly after Papyrus fires a Death Glare at Sans, the last panel of the comic shows Sans sitting in the corner, taped off with "do not cross" tapes and wearing a dunce cap with "BAD INFLUENCE" scribbled on it. | |
