When falling in love leads to the death of a character's brain cells. No matter how smart they might be, the right boy or girl will act as their personal Idiot Ball. They'll attempt to look cool or impress their crush, only to inevitably make a fool of themselves in front of others.
Being in love is dangerous for a character. Occasionally, an (usually) main character, who more or less pulled his weight at the start of the series, starts to feel affection for another, and the writers like the idea. Suddenly, their own personal plot starts to become almost exclusively about that, and we have nothing to balance out the inherent goofiness and clumsiness that occurs dealing with their emotions. This has an extra layer of trouble if the Demographic of the viewers isn't too heavily interested in the romance, or romance in general. On the other hand, other demographics can relate. This can send someone on the edge of Can't Catch Up straight into a ditch and relegate them to the sidelines of a story, especially if it's fairly clear that the writers haven't used the character for a while because they don't know what to do with them.
If it isn't focus where they're hurt, it'll be their common sense. The Love Interest might even turn out to be manipulative or opportunistic, if not outright abusive. When friends of the character try to snap them out of it, they will be accused of jealousy by the lovestruck victim.
Extremely common in Shōnen. Female characters, in particular, often turn into a Faux Action Girl this way. For people who hold this as their viewpoint about love, see Silly Rabbit, Romance Is for Kids!. For a specific form, see Cannot Talk to Women.
Sister Trope to Lust Makes You Dumb, the lust based counterpart, and Fear-Induced Idiocy, the fear based counterpart. Subtrope of Took a Level in Dumbass. Granted, Dumb might be better than the alternatives. Can (and probably will) lead to Gibberish of Love. See also Love Can Make You Gonk, Distracted by the Sexy, and Revenge Romance.
Very much Truth in Television: if you don't have at least one story about being a monumentally dumb jackass on a date, when trying to attract the attention of a crush, or around a spouse or married one you just aren't even trying (and it's all the more reason to keep trying when you do make a complete fool of yourself. We've all done it).

The titular character in Roadside Romeo. His love interest tells him that if he truly loves her, he'll have to sing on stage with her at a club. When he gets there, his friends desperately tell him not to because he'll make the Big Bad furious and bring out his jealousy. Romeo has to decide to walk away from the dog and find someone else or risk his life for someone he's only met twice and has only known for about three minutes. He goes with the latter.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Monkey Khan gave up the Power Ring he uses to make sure that Eggman or the Iron Queen can't control him due to his mostly cybernetic body. He lets himself be controlled by Eggman just so Mecha Sally won't die, despite the fact that Mecha Sally has no remorse or inhibitions and will happily kill him despite the brief relationship Sally and Khan had.

Advice and Trust: Ritsuko is a very smart and resourceful scientist... but she has fallen for Gendo and has deluded into thinking Gendo does or will love her back... even though he always treats her like crap at best and a useful but disposable and ultimately replaceable pawn at worst, and he has provided her with plenty evidence that the only woman he will ever love is his deceased wife. Still, she repeatedly tells herself: "He will love me. He must! He needs me!"

Ranma ½
Dr. Tofu is arguable since one of his traits from the start was the inability to function properly around Kasumi. Swiftly becomes a moot point, once he's replaced as the show's source of arcane knowledge by Cologne.
Ryoga Hibiki does some pretty dumb things because of love as well. His unrequited desire for Akane's heart is his biggest emotional target, and he tends to go crazy when he thinks there's some sign she truly does love him back. At one point, he even considered staying in the Cursed Tunnel of Lost Love because Akane was frightened by the ghosts and kept clinging to him for protection and comfort — he figured that if he and Akane stayed there forever, she would always be turning to him for comfort. He gave it up mainly because the others caught him before he could run off with Akane and get lost in the tunnel.

In the Area 88 manga and OVA, Ryoko has very idealistic and immature ideas about love. To boot, she is determined to free Shin from servitude at Area 88 but never stops to ask why he might be in the Asranian air force in the first place. Finally, in manga issues that did not make it stateside, Shin repeatedly breaks her heart, and yet she reunites with him in the end. In the manga, Kanzaki even calls her out on it.

In the Tom and Jerry short “Blue Cat Blues�, Tom develops a major case of this when he sees a white female cat walk by and falls head over heels for her. It soon becomes apparent to everyone except Tom that the white cat is a Gold Digger who promptly dumps Tom when the obscenely wealthy Butch sees her and courts her. Unfortunately, Tom drives himself into poverty and slavery to win her back, to no avail, and he becomes suicidal.

On Haven this is Nathan's biggest character flaw. He will Always Save the Girl, even when Audrey asks him not to, and it circumvents any sort of common sense that he ostensibly should have as a detective. This trope leads him to mess up the supernatural timeline of the show, kickstarting the apocalyptic events of seasons 4 and 5. Season 5's "Spotlight" is basically one long Lampshade Hanging of this.

Wilson references this in Season 4 of House after House thinks that his attraction to a female doctor is interfering with his diagnostic skills.
There also was an indirect but very literal version in the episode where the patient of the week was a former prodigy and teen genius, now working as a FedEx deliveryman. Turns out that he'd fallen in love with a girl who had maybe 1/3 of his IQ, and started habitually using a drug made from a combination of prescription-strength cough syrup and strong alcohol (known as 'Astro-Tripping' or 'Blue Drank') to slow his mind down to the point where he could relate to her. Of course, using something like that on a daily basis for years can take its toll...

Invoked in The Belgariad when Ce'Nedra asks Garion what's wrong with his friend Lelldorin. Lelldorin comes from the Arendish culture, known for Honor Before Reason, and Ce'Nedra comments that he's "so Arendish, he's practically incapacitated." Garion replies that Lelldorin is in love, and being in love makes some people's brains seem to leak out of their heads. Ce'Nedra, who just recently realized she's in love with Garion, is NOT pleased.

White Collar: Neal Caffrey is generally pretty intelligent. He can always come up with a good plan, and can often get exactly what he wants out of a situation. But his love for Kate has resulted in him making some remarkably idiotic decisions — walking right into a trap that ended with him going to jail and breaking out of jail only a few months away from the end of his sentence stand out as some of the most egregious examples.

Rosario + Vampire:
Tsukune Aono before his power up. He doesn't come off as dumb at first, but common sense and obvious logic are trumped whenever Outer Moka is in trouble. We're talking to the extent he would take on the equivalent of an M1 Abrams Tank with a slingshot. He never gives up despite how bad the last time was.
Likewise, the various members of Tsukune's Unwanted Harem often end up doing some pretty idiotic and non-logical things in their attempts to win him over. For example, in Capu2 Episode 8, Mizore, Kurumu, and Yukari get in a big fight in the human world over him and end up nearly breaking the Masquerade when they decide to use their powers; the fight escalates to the point that Tsukune has to unleash Inner Moka to get them to stop; Inner Moka outright calls them "stupid, immature brats" before K.O.'ing all three of them at once.

In The Secret Life of Pets, Gidget the lovesick Pomeranian does very crazy and impulsive things to rescue Max, including jumping out of her apartment room on a high floor, assaulting an alley cat after just meeting him, confronting an evil bunny and telling him about her and her team's relationship with Max, and, if not the most wanted crazy thing, singlehandedly overpowering a group of animals that greatly outnumber her.

Sakura Haruno from Naruto in regards to Sasuke, it’s worth noting fans actually forget Sakura is a smart cookie but whenever her Single-Target Sexuality comes up, it renders her IQ somewhere around toddler level. At 12 years old, she was willing to leave her parents and village for a boy she’s hasn’t so much as had a proper conversation with and even three years later, she was willing to lie to her best male friend (Naruto) telling him that she loves so he’ll stop chasing after Sasuke. Oh, and when that fails miserably, Sakura tries to stop Sasuke herself (also failing because she “wuvs him too much�) nearly getting herself killed by Sasuke and is saved by her teacher and the boy she friend-zoned. Thankfully she got some Character Development during the Ninja War and for once stops caring about Sasuke being more concerned with Naruto dying... then Sasuke has one last Heel–Face Turn and Sakura forgives him completely despite him literally knocking her out again and later actually asks to join him when Sasuke leaves Konaha.
To be fair to Sakura, many characters in Naruto suffer from this, like Karin who arguably has it worse than Sakura and even the sensible Hinata nearly gets herself killed needlessly over Naruto.

Sunstone:
This hit Marion hard; being new to the type of relationship she was sharing with Alan caused her to discard her better judgement in favor of doing everything she could to take things further, leading to her neglecting the safety aspects integral to BDSM. This does not end well.
Ally&Lisa aren't exempt from this either. It's the main reason they rush into moving with each other just three weeks after meeting in person.

Harry Potter:
Alluded to in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where said prince's notes in an old Potions textbook have allowed Harry to become top of the class. When he has to hide the book to protect his secret from Snape, his performance in class predictably drops; Potions master Professor Slughorn, however, sees nothing odd in this, as it starts shortly after Harry begins dating Ginny Weasley.
While he was a firm believer in The Power of Love, Albus Dumbledore was not blind to its downsides, having experienced that firsthand. The first and only person Dumbledore ever loved was the future Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald. His love for Grindelwald was so strong that it blinded him to the man's many faults, which eventually led to the death of his sister and the estrangement between Dumbledore and his brother. Unsurprisingly, Dumbledore swore off falling in love ever again for exactly this reason.

Rocko's Modern Life:
In "An Elk For Heffer" when Heffer falls in love with an Elk named Elkie, his heart starts influencing his actions and starts pulling switches labeled "Look Stupid", "Stumble Over" and "Forget Name".
In "Wallaby on Wheels", Rocko is offered a chance to go through a dangerous obstacle course in the hopes of impressing a girl, despite being an inexperienced roller-skater. His internal debate is represented by a boxing match between his heart and his brain, where the brain goes down in one hit and the announcer states "Emotions win over self-preservation!"

Total Drama:
Alejandro ruthlessly exploits this trope, using his charms to make the female contestants make stupid decisions that get them eliminated. Unfortunately for him, he develops genuine feelings for Heather, which causes him to lose his focus and allows her to turn his strategy back on him at a critical moment.
Rodney is an extreme parody of this trope in Pahkitew Island. Every single time he attempts to talk to a female character he just ends up muttering incoherent gibberish.
Noah falls into this in the spinoff Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race. He develops a crush on Emma during the race, causing him to start acting less like his sarcastic, cynical self, and more weird and awkward from being lovestruck. This makes Owen believe that he's getting ill, and Kitty ends up having to spell it out for him. He snaps out of the unresponsive part after "Hawaiian Honeyruin", though he still makes quite a few social gaffes.

Discussed and inverted in Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Jake's Character Development really has more to do with his relationship with Holt than his relationship with Amy, but his personal growth was definitely helped along by her support and influence. (And in his own way, he helped her just as much.)

Selvaria in Valkyria Chronicles. She's utterly devoted to Maximillian, but she doesn't realize he doesn't return her feelings until he sends her to use a Suicide Attack, showing once and for all that he doesn't give half a damn about her personally. You'd think that'd be a bad move on Max's part, considering that Selvaria could turn him into a McNugget combo with less effort than it takes for her to get dressed in the morning, plus she's developed a tenuous rapport with her counterpart on the good guys' side and could probably defect to their side. But no. She goes ahead and blows herself up, tearfully praising Max's name, but makes a point of betraying him at the last second by sparing the only people in the Gallian military capable of stopping him.

In Persona 3 FES, near the climax of The Answer, Yukari's character is completely derailed in a way that makes no sense due to her love for the protagonist. She selfishly wants to use the chance to she has to go back to the moment the MC sacrificed himself and stop him from doing it, regardless that this will definitely cause Nyx to return and destroy the world. This creates a Conflict Ball that results in SEES fighting one another and nearly ending their friendships.

Mentioned, but averted in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. When Penelope is revealed to be untrustworthy, she makes a cruel comment about Bentley "being kinda cute when he's being dumb", even though he never outright shows a lack of intelligence during their ill-fated relationship. She could be referencing how Bentley failed to see Penelope's real personality behind her fake Wrench Wench Nice Girl mask. Also inverted: Penelope is an example of Hate Makes You Dumb by betraying the Cooper Gang out of spite towards Sly without thinking of the consequences.

In Dark Souls II King Vendrick's love for Queen Nashandra causes him to make one foolish decision after another, from waging war against the Giants to numerous failed attempts at curing the Undead Curse, distracting him enough for Nashandra to take the throne from under his nose. This trope pretty much sets the entire plot in motion. Even worse, after he figures everything out, he's STILL in love with her!

Discussed in Kindred Spirits on the Roof, during the extra "Cardinal Symptom: Idiocy." When Megumi, one of the "kindred spirits" observes Youka, who's probably the least intelligent member of the cast, acting rather foolishly as a result of her crush on Aki, Megumi recalls how she herself acted when she was alive and had fallen in love with Sachi(who had been a ghost for 50 years by this point). She then concludes that, "In fact, the number one symptom of love might be that it turns you into an idiot."

DICE: The Cube That Changes Everything:
Despite witnessing Mooyoung killing all of his friends, the first thing Taebin does upon seeing him fall from the sky is run to him and beg him to not die. He also agrees to help him with his plan to become an S-Ranker, albeit with some hesitation on his part, ready to do practically anything to save Mooyoung's life. Including letting him into his body and starting the PVP slaughter all over again.
Eunju still believes in Taebin even though he himself has stated that he cannot keep control of his own body for long and Mooyoung is more than willing to kill her for her bounty. She also disregards that Taebin didn't tell her being a Dicer when the incidents happened.
Despite knowing explicitly that X was doing his best to screw with their feelings, Mio takes his bait and thinks Dongtae chose Eunju over her (the reality was that he chose Eunju to lose her Dice knowing that Mio needed hers and Eunju preferred that anyway). Not helping was after Dongtae wakes up, him immediately going out to find Eunju, understandably so since she could've been heavily damaged by the fight with X. Thus, while she does still love Dongtae, she breaks up with him and acts cold on the outside both to keep him safe, but also as a bit of payback. But if she took him at his word to begin with, they would've never been separated and the subterfuge would be unnecessary.

In Pokémon Adventures, Malva is an extremely competent Dark Action Girl, though it's also very clear that she wants to be in an Unholy Matrimony with Lysandre. During the final battle, Lysandre is falling to his death. As Malva's distracted, the Talonflame she's riding goes down and she then leaps, unassisted, towards her boss. Diantha tries to save her, but Malva slaps her away. All Malva ended up doing was seemingly getting killed alongside him.

Lazarus Long, in Time Enough for Love, has traveled back in time over two thousand years to visit his original family in 1917. What he doesn't count on is that, in doing so, he falls in love with his mother. This causes him to enlist in World War I to win her approval, despite having no personal stake in the war, knowing the outcome, and not knowing the future from his own personal point of view. He nearly dies as a result.

In the dangerous world where the story is set, this is a very dumb thing to do. The backstory also has a princess who is so in love with her pretty husband, that she excuses even his abusing her younger sister when he claims that the teenager "provoked" him.

SPY×FAMILY: Played both ways between Loid and Yor, both of which are all too willing to overlook the other's obvious signs that they're not normal people, and they continue to do so as their Marriage of Convenience starts becoming more real than they anticipated. In the case of the latter, it can be excused by the fact that she's a Super Gullible Cloud Cuckoolander with No Social Skills, but the former is a master spy, with enough Hyper-Awareness to easily discern people's motives with a single look, yet somehow not even the fact that Yor walked past him without making a single noise and was able to tell that he was looking at her (despite having his back turned at her) made him suspect one bit.

By the very first chapter of Act III, when she realizes her mistake, she's so devastated that she nearly kills herself, and after Tsukune gets a Holy Lock to suppress the ghoul, declares herself Tsukune's servant in penance.

But Guts Taking the Bullet later on for a completely healthy woman is just asking for trouble especially as Guts nearly gets killed because of it, though this action does make Casca fall in love with him so it equals out.
Griffith invokes this when Guts leaves the Band of Hawk, a rational leader (like Griffith was up until that point) would accept the loss of one soldier in the face of success... but Griffith chooses instead to cope by screwing the princess to fill the void Guts left. Unsurprisingly, Griffith gets imprisoned by the king and tortured for a year for his Tragic Mistake.

Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: In preparation for Shirogane's birthday, Kaguya buys him a huge birthday cake in the style of the one that Fujiwara had for her birthday. Hayasaka recognizes the overkill immediately, and it's only right before she gives it that Kaguya remembers that Fujiwara's birthday cake was much smaller — and much less embarrassing. While she mulls over what to do, Kaguya imagines a court case between her "cold side" and her "dumb side," evoking a Good Angel, Bad Angel conflict. Her dumb side advocates fiercely to give Shirogane the cake, being open, honest, and insistent about Kaguya's love for him.

Evie from Descendants is an intelligent young lady; however, her mother taught her that all that mattered in life was being beautiful and getting married to a prince, so she tends to act like a Brainless Beauty around guys she likes. More specifically, she was so in love with Chad that she didn't realize that he was only using her to do his homework for him.

Damon's love for Elena or Katherine in The Vampire Diaries means he fits this trope as well as Love Redeems, Love Makes You Crazy, and Love Makes You Evil, which he has also played with at some point during the show.
Klaus can fit too, as he has been manipulated by Caroline a couple of times after developing feelings for her.
And as of Season 5, Katherine, who decided to stay in town instead of running away with Nadia after stealing Elena's body, all because she wanted to woo Stefan.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
Odo becomes smitten with the Female Changeling during the occupation of Deep Space Nine in "Behind the Lines" and "Favor the Bold." He becomes so absorbed in linking with her that he neglects his duties. He became involved with her despite full knowledge of the Dominion's tyranny and the Female Changeling's prior antics. Fortunately, he snaps out of it upon realizing what the Female Changeling and the Dominion have in mind for the Alpha Quadrant.
Rom's backstory contains an example of this. So smitten with Nog's mother was he that he didn't even skim the Ferengi marriage contract. Which ended with him getting cleaned out by his now ex-wife and left alone with Nog.

Beastars: Seems to run in the main character's family.
Legosi's grandmother Toki entered into an illegal marriage with a Komodo Dragon, which was illegal specifically to prevent what happened to her. She removed all of the antidote for Gosha's poison from the apartment without telling him and kissed him knowing it would mean certain death.
Legosi's mother Leano, upon learning that her Komodo Dragon half was beginning to express itself and was slowly turning her into a grotesque abomination of nature, had Legosi in a one-night stand and expressed her "love" for him by shutting herself in her room for his entire childhood until he was old enough to confirm that he was most definitely not growing scales... and then killed herself. Legosi may be healthy on the outside, but the poor boy is scarred for life now, even more so than he would've been if Leano took her own life immediately after he was born.
Legosi himself will go to any lengths to get with his rabbit waifu, including fighting the Yakuza... twice. Fortunately, this time it didn't end in his tragic death, though he's come close more than once and by the end of the manga he's got more holes in him than swiss cheese.

In Casino, Sam "Ace" Rothstein is known as a very intelligent and calculating man who is an ace at gambling, and is known to never lose. It's this reason he is put in charge of a big casino in Vegas for the Mob. Everything is fine at first, until Sam falls in love with a woman hustler named Ginger, while he is watching her steal from a high-stakes gambler. Despite this, and many bad signs and warnings from others, Sam marries her and quickly regrets it. He even gives her the only key to his saved fortune, which even makes the bank manager question it. It proves to be one of the reasons for the Casino's downfall. He only survives getting killed, because the Mob still feels they can use him to make money. Lampshades during the film:

The Night Manager: A major part of why Jonathan gets as far as he does in his attempt to infiltrate Roper's inner circle and take him down is because Roper is so grateful that Jonathan saved his son's life (from a staged kidnapping that he set up specifically to get in Roper's good graces) that it overrules his common sense and causes him to turn a blind eye towards anything that Jonathan does, including ignoring his lackey's suspicions of him.

Frozen plays with this trope. Anna can be quite clever at times, but she feels Love at First Sight for Hans and agrees to marry him even though she had just met him. Too bad that Anna couldn't see that Hans couldn't be trusted. Subverted and platonic example in regards to her sister Elsa; while Anna was perceptive enough to realize, despite the suspicions of the townspeople, that her long-distant and secretive sister had not frozen the kingdom purposely, the film emphasizes the low likelihood of her faith being correct. While Hans is revealed to be untrustworthy, Anna's undying love for and faith in Elsa is vindicated when it turns out Elsa really is Not Evil, Just Misunderstood.

This exchange.
Lampshaded as Gil is fighting Captain Vole:
Tarvek himself acquires fumbled speech on the subject and generally doesn't fare much better:
Also implied to have happened to Bill Heterodyne in regards to Lucrezia. He was insistent that she could join the "good guys" despite blatant and constant evidence to the contrary.
Then there was Moloch von Zinzer, whose cooking would invariably go from "acceptable" to "boiled sponge with gravy" immediately after serving Sanaa.

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun inverts this with the character Eiko. She has a deep crush on the titular Iruma. When she learns he isn't doing well academically (unbeknownst to most everyone he is human. While he can read and speak the demon language, he doesn't understand the academic concepts and never went to school before this), Eiko decides to help him and studies every possible subject hard to be a tutor for him. While she doesn't get a chance to help him, she moves from an average-ranked student to being in the Top Ten of her class as a result of her studies.

Played heartbreakingly in Prince of Persia (2008). Magical waif Elika sacrifices herself to reseal the Big Bad Ahriman back into his can. The Prince, up to this point a cynical Jerkass loner with a smarmy comment for everything, is left lost. So he decides to destroy Ahriman's seal and bring both of them back into the world again, screwing over the entire world. The expanded epilogue tries to rationalise his choice by suggesting he wanted to bring Elika back so she could help him find a more permanent solution; leaving them both sealed is just playing the waiting game until somehow Ahriman is unsealed again and then the Prince (or someone else) would have to find a way to beat him without Elika's powers. Too bad Elika doesn't buy his justification one bit, she despises him and never forgives him, in the end leaving him for good.

Suzy Pepper of Glee had a crush on her teacher, called him at 3 a.m., gave him a tie with red peppers so when he wears it he can think of her. Teacher rejected her, she ate world's HOTTEST PEPPER, burned holes in her esophagus, and got put in a medically-induced coma for 3 days. To add insult to injury, the teacher then added that girls are so fragile.

Kate from Lost started out as one of the main characters in the ensemble, a fairly solid example of a Troubled, but Cute girl. However, as the series entered its second season, she became increasingly obsessed with Jack. Her attempts to rescue/ingratiate herself with/impress or otherwise have contact with him have led to an ever-growing list of problems that are completely her making — she seems to think she's back on a junior high playground (albeit one where she gets to have sex with Sawyer, the Jerk with a Heart of Gold, before going back to see what Jack is up to), not trapped on an island with a group of psychotics and a bunch of Epileptic Trees.
This is taken to new lows in the Season 5 finale, when a group of Losties ends up in the past thanks to some pesky time-travel, and they have to decide whether or not to detonate a nuclear bomb, whose explosion might change the future and prevent everything they've gone through to happen. Jack finally admits that his main reason to do it is that he lost Kate's love. Juliet's reason is that she noticed Sawyer, her current love interest, looking at Kate in a certain way. Kate and Sawyer go along with the plan. Sadly, Miles and Hurley reluctantly agree instead of pumping these emo douchebags full of hot lead.

Superman:
In the Supergirl/Batgirl crossover Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl, the Joker is infatuated and obsessed with Batgirl (despite her hating his guts). His intelligence drops down to negative digits when Batgirl is nearby, making really dumb statements and getting distracted during fights.
In Kryptonite Nevermore, a pilot tries to fight three armed bandits to impress Lois Lane. He has the chance to catch them off guard... and he shouts a war cry before pouncing on the ringleader.
DC Retroactive Superman: In "The 70s" issue, Superman states that Lois Lane and Lana Lang are incredibly intelligent women who suddenly forget about their brains whenever he shows up.
"Those Emerald Eyes Are Shining": By his own admission, Brainiac 5 falls for a painfully obvious trap because he cannot think clearly when Supergirl, his first and only love interest, is around.

Shang in Mulan is a downplayed form of this trope. He is a competent and professional soldier, not even letting his father's death distract him from the task at hand. But when he tries to thank Mulan after saving him from Shan Yu and when he later visits Mulan's house, he stammers and generally has no idea how to act around Mulan now that he knows she's a girl.

Pretty much the plot of the seventh book in the H.I.V.E. Series. Otto thinks that the reason Laura was acting strange around him was because he confessed his love to her and it didn't go well, but it was actually because she was being blackmailed by a member of the staff and her family was being held hostage. His lack of attention led to the death, injury, or capture of 36 Alphas, and his own expulsion from the HIVE.

One Piece:
Happens frequently to Sanji in as, despite having brains to match his brawn, being in the company of Nami, Robin, or any beautiful woman makes him dumber than Idiot Hero Luffy. It’s actually Played for Drama in Whole Cake Island as Pudding, his fiancée, betrays him; though Sanji is more angry at himself than her.
Boa Hancock jeopardizes her position as a Shichibukai, potentially risking the wrath of The Government, all to protect Luffy during the Marineford War Arc. Although given her eccentric and beautiful she is, she's forgiven very easily.
Usopp has a variation of this in Water 7 as he refuses to let go of the Going Merry, a ship given to him by his pseudo-Love Interest Kaya, ensuring a fight between him and Luffy resulting in his leaving the crew. The thing is, the Merry was already gonna break apart and Usopp could've faced the truth without creating more heartache. That being said, Usopp saw the abandonment of the Merry as a potential fate of himself, seeing that he's the weakest link of the crew (not only is he one of the weakest members, his role on the ship is not as important as the others, and he just failed to guard their money twice in this arc) and that he's afraid that Luffy would eventually leave him behind like the ship. And he was the only one who met the "soul" of the Merry in the previous arc, which makes his attachment to his "friend" even more justifiable.

In Pokémon, this is what happens if a Pokémon is hit with the move Attract from a Pokémon of the opposite gender, or if the attacking Pokémon uses a move that require physical contact (e.g. Tackle) onto a Pokémon of the opposite gender with the Cute Charm ability (though it works only 30% of the time in this case).

Referenced in Futurama, although the circumstances and Fry's general level of intelligence stop it being an example.

Peaky Blinders, though he's otherwise The Chessmaster, Tommy has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Grace, whom he trusts with some of his secrets despite the fact that early on he catches her out on lying to him several times, such as what pub she claims she used to work at back in Ireland or pretending to be a Catholic when she isn't. To be fair, he doesn't tell her everything and some of the fault lies with his brother Arthur, but you'd think Tommy wouldn't be quite so willing to share information with a woman he already knows to be dishonest and this bites him when Grace figures out where the guns are hidden and sells him out to Campbell.

My Dress-Up Darling: Marin Kitagawa is usually fashion conscious (she works part-time as a model after all), but when she takes Gojo to Shibuya to shop for clothing, she's so dizzy in love with him that she thinks he can make anything he wears look good. Meanwhile, the shop clerk helping them is dumbfounded as to how tacky the outfits he tries are.

One sidequest in Solatorobo: Red the Hunter has Alicia stage a fake kidnapping on herself just to get the attention of her Childhood Friend Waffle. The only problem is she failed to mention this plan to her sisters Flare and Stare, who thought she really was kidnapped and ends up hiring Red to get her out of (fake) danger. The fact that Alicia didn't give a proper description to the group she hired beyond "he's a Caninu in a bi-pedal robo" didn't help matters, and the Pris sisters end up in ever further debt from having to pay both the Sky Pirate group and Red for their troubles.

In Batman & Robin, Robin starts with just a crush on Poison Ivy, but her continued seductions of him, combined with her pheromones, soon make him fall blindingly in love with her and make numerous dumb decisions. Even after finding out Ivy is a villain he hardly puts up any resistance against her and completely believes her when she promises to help him and "turn over a new leaf" so they can be together. When Batman explains why Ivy has been trying to kiss them, Robin thinks he is just jealous that she loves him instead, and attacks Batman to defend her. He later sees a "robin-signal" in the sky and knows it is from Ivy since she mentioned it while flirting with him, but just takes it as a sign of her love for him, not even questioning where or how she got it. This is ultimately subverted when he meets with Ivy in her lair. He pretends to still be in love with her and convinces her to share her plan with him as a sign of trust before sharing a kiss. Then he reveals he protected himself with rubber lips, negating her poison and proving her love to him was a lie. However, he does this while sitting right next to her, and she angrily shoves him into her lily pond to drown him for his treachery, officially "breaking up with him."

In Stargate: Continuum, Baal uses Time Travel to maneuver himself into dominance of the Goa'uld System Lords and is in position to conquer Earth with ease. He even brilliantly gains the loyalty of the Free Jaffa movement by dealing with them in complete honesty. His only failing was to let his feelings for Qetesh override his common sense, resulting in her betraying and murdering him.

Game of Thrones:
King Robb Stark falls in love with Talisa Maegyr and marries her, despite having already promised to marry Lord Walder Frey's daughter. His mother warns him what a stupid political move this is but he marries her anyway, which doesn't only make him lose an important ally, but also gets him, his pregnant wife, his mother, and most of the Northern army killed when the Freys murder them during the reconciliation wedding in Season 3, where he doesn't even realize how dumb it is to parade his new wife in front of his supposed-to-be-wife, not to mention supposed-to-be-father-in-law. In the books, Catelyn forbade him to bring Jeyne to the Twins for this very reason. Lord Karstark remarks that Robb lost the ongoing war the day he married Talisa. This is in contrast to the books, where he marries Jeyne Westerling out of a sense of honor (and hopes the Freys will understand). The context makes Robb seem more brash and impulsive than his book counterpart, who already got some criticism; no less than Tyrion Lannister was heard to observe, "Better to leave her with a bastard in her belly," after hearing of his folly with Jeyne.
Catelyn frees the Kingslayer behind her son's back in an attempt to get her daughters back.
Sansa is convinced that Joffrey is a great guy until he chops off Ned's head.
Jaime Lannister has some shades of this in his relationship with Cersei. He's not blind to her faults or her evil actions, but he genuinely believes that she is acting for the greater good of their family and that she ultimately wants to build a better world. He eventually realises what a terrible person she is when she decides to let Daenerys and Jon be slaughtered by the White Walkers after promising to help.
Rhaegar Targaryen. It apparently did not occur to him that running off with another guy's fiancée and not explaining things clearly might possibly have severe repercussions for him, his family, his in-laws, and the entire realm. Also, Lyanna Stark, never occurred to her either to do these things.

In the Zero Escape series, Junpei and Akane are reasonably intelligent people, except when they're around each other. Maybe that's why Akane abandoned him when she went off to save the world from Radical-6. This trope is a major plot point in Akane's backstory, where it nearly gets her killed and then saves her life. She doesn't get any better in Zero Time Dilemma, where Junpei dying at any point causes her to fly into irrational, homicidal rage.

SpongeBob SquarePants: In the episode "Krusty Love", Mr. Krabs falls so deeply in love with Mrs. Puff that almost all sense of reason leaves him. When first introduced to her, he's so lovestruck that he can't put any of his thoughts into words, requiring SpongeBob to translate his gibberish into a date request. During said date, his normal frugality goes out the window, and he somehow manages to spend $100,000 all on expensive gifts for her. After hiring SpongeBob to be his financial assistant for their next date, he falls into this pitfall again by contradicting his own orders and demanding SpongeBob fetch tons of gifts for Mrs. Puff. He manages to amass a pile of extravagant gifts in front of Mrs. Puff's house, all before they got to the park to start their date!

Doctor Who: The Doctor repeatedly invokes the rules of time travel, No. 1 being you can't go back and change fixed points in time or otherwise alter major historical events. But in the Series 9 finale "Hell Bent", he decides to break all the laws of time in order to prevent Clara Oswald from being Killed Off for Real after that already happened, an act that threatens to destroy the space-time continuum.
In Series 10's "The Pyramid at the End of the World", Bill Potts is so desperate to save the blind Doctor from dying in a lab explosion (he cannot unlock the door unless he can see the numbers on the lock) that she consents to humanity being conquered by the Monks against his wishes. It should be noted that it is not romantic love she feels for him, as she is a lesbian; she loves him as a grandfather figure and an extremely close friend. (She also believes it will allow him to be able to fix the consequences of her actions.)

Samson and Delilah: Delilah succeeded in getting Samson to tell her the secret of his strength after she'd already tried to exploit each version of the "secret" he'd told her three times before in order to hand him over to his enemies. It's also something of a testament to how charming she could be that the Philistines to whom she'd related these "secrets" the previous three times came back for one more try after her false information had previously gotten them thrashed — and they brought their money. Laugh as we might at his folly, the story's not so implausible to anyone who's seen the gullibility of a man thinking with the wrong head.

A platonic example in the Temeraire fanfic Black Wings, Black Sails, with Laurence and Temeraire. Whenever Temeraire becomes involved in his plans or is even nearby, most of Laurence's plans fall apart as a result of his strong affection for his former dragon — he can't bear to even consider allowing Temeraire to come to harm. When he tries to capture the Allegiance, he tries to run to Temeraire and gets clubbed in the head and imprisoned in the brig for his troubles, and he waits way too long to attack Capetown because he wants the Allegiance to leave with Temeraire aboard so Temeraire doesn't get dragged into the fighting, which disgraces Laurence with the Tswana and gets the Allegiance captured anyways.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Scorpia loses a decent whack of her IQ whenever she thinks about Catra. Sometimes, this simply manifests as Love Martyr-style wishful thinking about how eventually her "friendship" will encourage Catra to become a better person despite Catra being entirely uninterested in 1) Scorpia (she's much too focused on her deeply dysfunctional Foe Romance Subtext with Adora) and 2) becoming a better person (she's much too focused on lashing out at the world in ways that, invariably, lead to her getting hurt more and lashing out harder). Other times, the crush clouds her judgment to the point of causing blatant stupidity; in "Roll With It", for example, so much of her brain is taken up with her infatuation that she assigns one of the few actual soldiers under her command to the vitally important task of... figuring out Catra's favorite colour.

Brock in Pokémon: The Series, who is usually the rational Big Brother Mentor to Ash and Misty (or May, Max, and Dawn), tended to lose his cool around beautiful women; especially Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny (and since both are everywhere, this quickly became a running joke with him proclaiming the latest one was the fairest of them all).
Any Pokémon under the effects of Attract can be seen making a fool of themselves in the middle of battle. This becomes an In-Universe That One Attack that easily gives the attacker an easy victory over their opponent, but none of the characters conveniently realize this, not even the main Chaste Hero.

Esmeraude (Emerald) in Sailor Moon R. She was so in love with Diamond that she hastily accepted Wiseman's tiara to become more powerful than Sailor Moon and thus winning Diamond's heart. Unfortunately, her plan falls apart when the tiara transforms her into a dragon rather than a Queen. The senshi (with the help of Tuxedo Mask) defeat the dragon and Esmeraude is momentarily restored to her human form — only to fall into a dark abyss. She whispers Diamond's name as she vanishes. To Esmeraude's credit, the rest of her peers including Diamond also made the colossal mistake of trusting Wiseman.

Noah falls into this in the spinoff Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race. He develops a crush on Emma during the race, causing him to start acting less like his sarcastic, cynical self, and more weird and awkward from being lovestruck. This makes Owen believe that he's getting ill, and Kitty ends up having to spell it out for him. He snaps out of the unresponsive part after "Hawaiian Honeyruin", though he still makes quite a few social gaffes.

What It Takes: Oliver's affection for Felicity lets her fool him into believing that there was no way to make any contact with anyone Starling City, as Bali apparently has no wi-fi and the only device they could have was her work computer. He even let her keep their phones. This allows her to keep him in the dark over what's happening for over half the story until people are sent to seek them out. Understandably, whatever affection Oliver has for Felicity dies after he learns the truth, and when explaining the situation to others he lampshades how much of an idiot he was being.

South Park: In "The Succubus", the typically smart Chef falls for a succubus, who has this effect on him, albeit via More than Mind Control on her part. It takes the boys exposing her to get him back to reality.

Astro City: The brilliant (but very naive) Gadgeteer Genius Mock Turtle is blinded by love for his childhood sweetheart Lucia, who he constantly imagines as an innocent girl to be sheltered from his roguish life as a super-villain. She, in turn, easily exploits his intellect and engineering talents for her own criminal gain.

A Knight's Tale:
William fully understands this trope, as after offering to be Jocelyn's Champion (a line she's heard way too often), she tells him that if he loves her, he'll lose. And so, at the beginning of the next tournament, after the flag for William's first joust is dropped, and his opponent spurs on, the four members of the Five-Man Band cheering William on...
This leads to a subversion later on, when Jocelyn changes her mind mid-tournament and tells him to win the tournament he just spent the day losing in the most painful way.

Eddie in The Color of Money has this with his girlfriend, Carmen. He sees her as a Purity Sue, blinding himself to her Street Smarts and delinquent past. She's even wearing a necklace she stole from his mother, and he thinks it's just a coincidence.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
While mostly averted on the show, the Buffy/Angel romance was definitely this at times, particularly from Buffy's standpoint. While it's slightly justified by her being young, she still crossed this line. How about choosing to get back together with Angel despite knowing it's a bad idea (he'll lose his soul and turn evil if she sleeps with him) and him saying to her face that he wants her so badly he's willing to lose his soul again just so he can sleep with her. When your ex tells you that, you don't get back together with them. It's a marked indicator of her Character Development when Angel returns again just before the series finale, and she admits that she doesn't know what she wants and still needs to finish figuring herself out, before sending him off to return to Los Angeles while she metaphorically and literally deals with her own problems.
Discussed in "Selfless" when Xander objects to Buffy planning to kill Anya, despite the fact that Anya brutally murdered several humans; Buffy herself believes that Xander's lingering feelings for Anya are clouding his judgement:

Phoenix Wright from Ace Attorney is generally intelligent in his own way, but in a backstory case he absolutely refuses to believe that his girlfriend might not be who she thinks he is, despite all the evidence that she was using him, even when Mia had shown that Dahlia wanted to kill him, going so far as to declare that "Dollie" who testified against him during his trial was somehow a fake. And he was right, sort of. The girl who was testifying was the real Dahlia, but the girl he'd been dating was actually Dahlia's twin sister Iris, who was genuinely as nice as she seemed.

Ohgi of Code Geass was the voice of reason of the Black Knights, until he encountered and fell for Villetta. Needless to say, he became one-track-minded soon after and made some incredibly rash decisions, not the least of which resulted in Lelouch being betrayed by the Black Knights.

Dragon Ball Z: Krillin had the chance to shut down Android 18 and stop Cell from ever reaching his Perfect form. But because he developed feelings for her, he destroyed the only chance to stop it from happening. In his defense, Krillin thought that Vegeta, who had the upper hand over Cell, would kill Cell, and Trunks hadn't even need to step up yet, so he was caught off-guard that Vegeta would just let Cell have his way and sabotage the Dragon Team.

Baldur's Gate features Viconia, a Neutral Evil Drow Cleric on the run from her equally evil race. Then the Player Character saves her a few times, worms his way into her dark heart, and if he plays his cards right, he can change her alignment to True Neutral... which disqualifies her from using a powerful, one-of-a-kind holy symbol dedicated to her (still evil) goddess.
The whole plot of the sequel is essentially caused by the elven queen Ellisime sparing a villain's life out of love, exiling him instead (and doing nothing about his High Mage powers). At the end of the game, she publicly admits her mistake, though.

A Crown of Stars: Shinji and Asuka develop a rather "enthusiastic" relationship in later chapters; probably making up for years of Belligerent Sexual Tension. However, they get so wrapped up in their passion that they forget a few things — like using birth control, or that Asuka's future self had been pregnant when they met. The inevitable finally occurs in chapter 67, and both agree that they should have seen this coming.

Anakin Skywalker's love for Padmé Amidala and his fear of her dying is one of the main driving forces behind many of his actions in Revenge of the Sith. The Big Bad, Darth Sidius, took full advantage of this and manipulated Anakin into believing that only he, a Sith Lord with deep knowledge of the dark side of the Force, knew how to save Padmé from death—something the Jedi are not capable of. This manipulation came to a head when Anakin sliced off Mace Windu's hands just as he was about to kill Darth Sidious, which resulted in the complete destruction of the Jedi Order, Anakin falling to the dark side of the Force, becoming Darth Vader, and Darth Sidius reforming the Republic into the Empire, with him essentially becoming the ruler of the galaxy.

Played with in Frasier, where Frasier is constantly doing face-palmingly stupid things whenever he gets into a relationship with a woman and directly ignoring his very own psychiatric advice... and he knows it, and can't help it, and constantly hopes his romantic plans won't blow up in his face this time, no matter how many times his little brother reminds him how badly he suffers from this trope, with his stupidity probably reaching a zenith in "Don Juan in Hell". This is just one aspect of pretty much the very core of Frasier's character — being brilliant at giving other people advice, and terrible at following it himself.

Alluded to in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, where said prince's notes in an old Potions textbook have allowed Harry to become top of the class. When he has to hide the book to protect his secret from Snape, his performance in class predictably drops; Potions master Professor Slughorn, however, sees nothing odd in this, as it starts shortly after Harry begins dating Ginny Weasley.

Captain America: Before her Heel–Face Turn, Diamondback had a massive crush on the good captain, and during a brief team-up decided the best way to get his attention was to take the keys out of the ignition of the flying machine they were both in. While it was in the air. Had Cap not known every A.I.M. craft is equipped with parachutes and where they keep them (you learn after taking down a dozen or so), they would've died. Rachel is appropriately annoyed at herself for being so stupid.
