Stupidest Thing I've Ever Heard | comment |
Sometimes when a plan or idea is proposed, the regular insults and even a facepalm just don't cut it. Nope, they've crossed the line into what can be called a Crowning Moment of Stupidity, and the witness feels the need to comment on this. Variations can include "dumbest", "most idiotic", "most ridiculous" etc., but the same basic message applies. Sometimes, a verbal response isn't even necessary, and Facial Dialogue does all the work. However, if it's said too liberally or about something that everyone in-universe knows actually isn't stupid, they, in turn, open themselves to ridicule, as seen on The Internet where it's become so overused that it's turning into the I'm Your Worst Nightmare of insults. May be combined with Who Would Be Stupid Enough?. Contrast Crazy Enough to Work. If the person being castigated winds up being correct, this can become The Cloudcuckoolander Was Right. If a prediction we know comes true is met with this, it's a form of It Will Never Catch On. |

Escape from the Moon: In the sequel The Mare From the Moon, this is Spliced Genome's reaction to learning that being an alicorn automatically puts you in a position of leadership in this world, especially if they try to make her a princess - she admits that she would make a terrible leader, having killed every plant she's ever owned out of negligence.

In The Cosby Show, when Cliff confronts Theo about his grades, Theo goes into a spiel about how being an educated professional was fine for his parents, but that wasn't the path he wanted in life and his family should accept him the way he is. The anticipated "Awww" hug scene is averted when Cliff tells him "Son... that's the DUMBEST thing I ever heard in my entire LIFE! No WONDER you get Ds in everything!" The audience was supposed to realize that Theo was talking nonsense. Mr Cosby ad-libbed the line to shift their reaction.note This scene becomes Harsher in Hindsight in later seasons, after Theo is diagnosed with learning disabilities. | |

According to Black Mage, it's the stupidest thing anyone has ever heard, not just him. Earlier, in #68, the weapon shop owner in Corneria mocks Fighter's idea of "swordchucks" as "the worst idea anyone has ever had." |

Sean Devine in Mystic River says this when his partner Whitey suggests a theory for the murder they're investigating, that Dave Boyle, Sean's childhood friend, killed Katie Marcus. In this case, the theory itself isn't actually that stupid, as there's a good deal of evidence suggesting it, but Sean simply doesn't want to consider the possibility. At the end Sean was right, and while Dave did kill someone, it wasn't Katie. | |

Dilbert: The Pointy-Haired Boss asks an employee a question using a nonsensical mashup of technical jargon. The bewildered employee replies that his question makes no sense, adding, "What the heck is wrong with you?". Dilbert satisfies the PHB by giving him an even bigger trainwreck of technical jargon, which stuns the co-worker into traumatized silence. In this strip, the PHB declares that he's going to smack people who say stupid things to him. Dilbert responds with the trope's title, which causes the boss to smack himself and convinces Dilbert that maybe he should give it a shot. |

Freakazoid scowls, and simply replies, "Well, if you don't mind me saying so, that is the stupidest plan I've ever heard of!" and rants about its ridiculousness until the Lobe is reduced to tears. This is almost immediately subverted when, after the Lobe leaves, Freakazoid immediately starts laughing and exclaiming that the plan is a brilliant one. | |

In DuckTales (2017) Bradford declares Huey and Louie's suggestion for Loophole Abuse on the Papyrus of Binding- that the clause that says Scrooge can keep his family if he gives up adventuring is flawed because family is the greatest adventure of all-was the stupidest thing he ever heard. He's flabbergasted when the Papyrus accepts the loophole and dissolves, absolving Scrooge of being bound to the contract. | |

The Simpsons Movie: Note that this is Hypocritical Humor since Homer delivered the exact same line to Marge not half an hour earlier in the movie. Quite a very cruel subversion to Meaningful Echo. |

Words of Radiance (second book of The Stormlight Archive): Lopen suggests that Kaladin patch things up with Syl by buying her a hat. Syl is a spren, so she's incorporeal and couldn't even wear a hat. Kaladin's response is "That's the most ridiculous piece of advice I've ever been given." Lopen promptly suggests something stupider and says that the hat thing is now only the second most ridiculous, so Kaladin should try it. | |

Tress of the Emerald Sea: One of Tress' new shipmates is Ann, an avid gun aficionado. Except, for some reason, every time she pulls out one of her many guns the rest of the crew physically restrains her because they are terrified of what happens when she tries to shoot anything. Therefore, when Tress suggests Ann fire the cannon, everyone is even more horrified than usual. Including Hoid, who is narrating. | |

The Colbert Report has an occasional feature called "The Craziest F#@king Thing I've Ever Heard," a parody of Bill O'Reilly's "Most Ridiculous Item of the Day." One example was an event where strongmen pulled trucks by their ear-lobes, prompting Colbert to speculate on the future of "ear-powered" transportation, and the inclusion of "ear-only" traffic lanes. A one-time variant was called "The Most Poetic F#@king Thing I've Ever Heard." | |

Guybrush comments that "If it weren't for the whole, 'Wife being declared dead' thing, I'd say that was the strangest story I'd heard all week." This gets a Call-Back later when Meathook tells him how he taught himself to paint using his hooks and coloured candle wax. Guybrush replies "That's the silliest story I've heard in hours." | |

At her Motive Rant about doing away with everything teenager-related so that kids will run free and rule the city, there's a silence only filled by her childish evil laughter, the collected superhero girls (obviously still there to stop her and her Humongous Mecha) look at a loss for words, or concerned, until Supergirl finally says: | |

In the sixth episode of the eight season of Game of Thrones, when it becomes apparent that there is no ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, due to Jon, (aka Amon Targaryen) killing Daenerys, and thus being condemned for killing the queen, it is proposed that the best way to rectify the situation is to choose a new ruler amongst the most powerful nobles of Westeros. Sam recommends that if the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms will represent everyone, then everyone, from peasant to nobles, should be able to (democratically) chose the ruler. Cue mocking laughter from everyone else. | |

Ambush Bug once told Superman about his origin — an alien scientist decided to save his greatest possession from his exploding planet and loaded it into a rocket, sending it into outer space. Supes thought it was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Similar to the Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius example above, the episode "I Had an Accident" has this exchange when SpongeBob announces that he's never going outside again for his own protection. Said word for word by Squidward in the "The Camping Episode", when they talk about Sea Bears. |

El Goonish Shive: At one point Pandora travels into the dreams of one of the main characters and sees this. The very next page she claims that "Well, this is among the stupidest things I've ever seen." And coming from an Immortal who's seen just about everything, that's saying a lot. | |

Billy Madison provides the page quote, which was a response to Billy comparing the Industrial Revolution to a completely unrelated children's book that dawdles on into a tangent, and the question wasn't even about comparing it to a book, it was about discussing modern novels that got their influence from the Revolution. The applause Billy got after showing support for the school's football team did nothing to mask his "insanely idiotic" answer. | |

Monkey Island: In Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush talks with Ignatius Cheese, who tells him that keeping Ozzie Mandrill out of the Scumm Bar has taken all of his Insult Arm-Wrestling skills. Guybrush comments that "If it weren't for the whole, 'Wife being declared dead' thing, I'd say that was the strangest story I'd heard all week." This gets a Call-Back later when Meathook tells him how he taught himself to paint using his hooks and coloured candle wax. Guybrush replies "That's the silliest story I've heard in hours." A funny bit also comes in The Secret of Monkey Island, when Guybrush Threepwood introduces himself to a pirate in the Scumm Bar. In Tales of Monkey Island, we have "You want me, an officer of the court, to aid in a jailbreak? Why, the mere idea is so preposterous that it's practically postposterous!" |

Codename: Kids Next Door: In the episode "Operation: L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N.", a lockdown of the Treehouse has been enacted, Count Spankulot had supposedly escaped from jail and is loose in the Treehouse, but the real culprit turns out to be Numbuh One transformed into a Spank-Happy Vampire, having already spanked Numbuhs Two and Three, and the lockdown will only last until morning... unless you use the Quadruple Emergency Bypass Code, which can override any Treehouse computer command and can lift the lockdown earlier. Numbuh Two remembers the code after Numbuh Four, fearful he will be the Count's next victim, chews him out for forgetting to put in an emergency exit, which leads to this exchange: Subverted in Operation: "F.L.A.V.O.R.". After Numbuh Five is kidnapped by the Delightful Children's ice cream men mooks, she is taken to the legendary Temple of the Fourth Flavor, where several mooks have tried - and failed - to get inside by guessing the "Flavor of the Day". After watching the rather unpleasant fate of one mook who gets it wrong (by saying "bannilla minty ripple", obviously a wild guess), the Delightful Children make Numbuh Five try it. After thinking for a minute, her guess is "sundae". At first, the Delightful Children think that's the stupidest guess yet, but they are interrupted in the middle of saying so by the door rumbling open. (Clearly, Numbuh Five's guess wasn't so stupid, as it was the right answer, and she may have well told them that You Were Trying Too Hard if she didn't have to take that chance to run into the temple ahead of them.) |
