Surrounded by Idiots	comment	Competent evil help is hard to find. How else can you explain how the Evil Overlord's General is a complete nincompoop, mooks are all dimwits who graduated from the Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy, the elite special forces consist of a Quirky Mini Boss Squad, and all the ninjas are standing around in plain sight or queuing up to attack the heroes one at a time? Sometimes, it seems like the lead antagonist has deliberately chosen the most incompetent, craven, cowardly, or just plain unreliable underlings around... the trope often culminates in a second-in-command that, instead of being the best of what the lower ranks has to offer, seems to be the living distillation of everything that makes the incompetent underlings what they are. This version is often punctuated by having the right-hand man actually secretly trying to undermine and/or replace the Evil Overlord, but just too incompetent to be a real threat. Of course, the simplest answer for why the evil master is surrounded by idiots is because you'd have to be stupid to work for him. The underlings' being Too Dumb to Live may well explain why they continue to work for an abusive employer, but we still have to wonder why the Evil Overlord hired them in the first place. We can't pretend he's not aware of his hirelings' shortcomings since he never hesitates to exclaim about them: "FOOLS! CRETINS! BUNGLERS!" (there always seems to be a basic formula of Mild Insult! Not-So-Mild Insult! EXTREME INSULT!, if it's not a case of Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking), sometimes, "It's so hard to find good help these days..." and of course, the oft-repeated Trope Naming line, "I'm surrounded by idiots!" - sometimes accompanied by a facepalm. After one too many failures, the boss tends to say "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!" and then proceeds to do far better at any given mission than his underlings have ever done, making you wonder why he didn't just do this in the first place. Occasionally, one of them will respond to this exclamation by looking around and asking, "Where?" This trope even made the Evil Overlord List. Of course, one possible explanation may be that smart minions tend to try to take over... or perhaps any minion might be trying to take over, but a smart one might actually succeed. When the boss is an incompetent dolt, you have a General Failure or a Pointy-Haired Boss. If both the boss and his minions are morons, then you are dealing with a group of Harmless Villains (such as The Family for the Whole Family). See also Conservation of Competence and Beleaguered Boss. Polar opposite of it is Surrounded by Smart People. Contrast Too Dumb to Fool. If the character being surrounded by idiots lashes out on them, then it's Enraged by Idiocy. Here is a compilation with a lot of examples.

That Jack was able to turn his robots to junk with such ease was the biggest reason he tried to face him mano-a-mano in "Jack Versus Aku". Of course, in that episode, the breaking point for him was a pretty big Epic Fail, when he sent a whole army of robots after Jack, and then one of them tripped, causing all of them to fall over like dominoes, destroying the entire army. Jack never did a thing. You can't blame Aku for wanting to rethink his plans after something like that.

The whole premise of his episode is watching a normal person trying to cope in Springfield. Eventually, his frustration overwhelms him and he gets himself killed.

When events end up giving them power over the town, however, they become Pointy Haired Bosses and argue over inane proposals, with Stephen Hawking of all people stepping in to give them the riot act and deliver the Aesop that even intelligent people can be equally childish.

However, said minions failed in looking for her for 16 years because they thought too much about the "newborn" part. Maleficent is not too keen on finding out... In the live-action retelling Maleficent, this is actually the point where it clearly deviates from the original story: This time she sends her only competent underling, the raven Diablo (renamed Diaval), out first, and the changes cascade from there.

Shredder once actually took the stupidity of his henchmen in stride. After inventing a new robotic weapon, he told Rocksteady and Bebop that he named it after them. He called it "The Knucklehead". In Turtles Forever, he watches footage of the 2003 Shredder: Krang isn't particularly appreciative of Shredder's mental prowess either: "Morons! I'm surrounded by morons." Kraang Sub-Prime from the 2012 version often finds himself this whenever he is around his fellow Kraang especially how the way they speak.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_31e1eca3	comment	PokÃ©mon Platinum: After crafting a beautiful speech about recreating the world for Team Galactic, Galactic Boss Cyrus admits when you confront him that the speech he gave was somewhat of a lie in that the new world would be for him alone, as his minions are not worthy of being in it, telling you that "you yourself must know that they are uniformly useless and incomplete." ("Incomplete" is kind of Cyrus's favorite word.) In fairness, most of the minions you'll have faced, aside from the commanders, really are useless. It's actually implied that Cyrus is actively and deliberately keeping his followers uninformed, as they'd leave the moment they learned what he was actually after (and they do in Platinum, and are mentioned in Black and White 2). The sole exceptions are the Commanders, who are either genuinely interested or Charon. By the end of PokÃ©mon XD: Gale of Darkness, Big Bad Greevil points out that after he finishes the XD project and makes irredeemable Shadow Pokemon, he would get to work on making Shadow Pokemon that can act independently so he doesn't have to rely on clunky Admins - like the five you beat down on the way to him.

For example, if three people are having a conversation which defies the laws of logic, he will probably snap and stab anything and everything in arm's reach. If his sanity is finally broken by said stupidity, he'll just nuke everything in a five-mile radius with a hadoken. Then there's D'rizzl, the only Dark Warrior to possess both intelligence and skill: Garland occasionally gestures towards competence but is usually a moron, Vilbert is basically incapable of dealing with any problem outside of LARP, and Bikke is the only character dumber than Fighter. It's fair to say that he has a miserable time of it... which only gets worse when Black Mage takes over the Dark Warriors and D'rizzl is forced to pull an Enemy Mine with the Light Warriors.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_3b34143f	comment	In Harry Potter Severus Snape, the Potions teacher, repeatedly laments that very few, if any, of his students are up to his standards of intellect. To their faces. It becomes a vicious cycle, because the environment of constant ridicule and deprecation without any kind of aid or approval from the teacher does not lend itself to productive education, thus causing children to make mistakes and earn even more insults. In some cases, Neville Longbottom in particular, fear of him makes students so nervous that they're simply so stupefied with terror that they can't do their work properly, thus earning his wrath. Harry feels this way towards the Ministry of Magic for not accepting Voldemort's return sooner as well as not punishing Umbridge for her actions at Hogwarts. He has good reason to feel that way. He also feels this mixed with Only Sane Man in the sixth book during Ron and Hermione's Operation: Jealousy.

Given that Scarif is essentially a beach planet (at least the parts we see of it), it might be the Imperial equivalent of a cushy beach assignment. So, when Rebels attack the data vault there and the command crew reacts with only stunned silence, Krennic is understandably frustrated.

He's a traditionalist: "if I surround myself with morons, as I'm supposed to, then the hero will let me get away, like he's supposed to."

However they're typically his first choice to send after Sonic, and he often trusts them with important inventions he created. This was lampshaded in the episode "Spaceman Sonic" in which Sonic states that Robotnik will figure it cheaper to put Scratch and Grounder back together than to build new robots. In the episode "Robotnik's Rival", he claimed that this was deliberate to ensure that they never betrayed him. Given that he was gloating over the eponymous rival who had just been backstabbed by his own super-competent henchbot, (and given that it's Robotnik) this was doubtless an Ass Pull. From the episode "Blackbot the Pirate": "I'm surrounded by defective circuitry!" From "Robolympics": "I'm surrounded by a bunch of burnt-out circuits!"

Of course, considering that both Chompiras and Chimoltrufia are dumber than averageâ€¦ It is also explained in-universe that Botija is not from the same poor and humble origins as Chimoltrufia and Chompiras, instead, coming from a high middle-class household, which may explain his more cultured persona.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Spend enough time with the Guardians of the Galaxy, and one will inevitably have this reaction. In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), during the Kyln prison break, an exasperated Gamora comes to this conclusion on her future teammates. In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Nebula's general attitude towards the Dysfunction Junction that is the Guardians of Galaxy is that they're all morons who are completely out of their minds. In Avengers: Infinity War, Tony Stark, Peter Parker and Stephen Strange wind up teaming up with the Guardians (minus Gamora, Rocket and Groot). Tony quickly becomes annoyed when the Guardians refuse to listen to any of his plans, and when Peter finally asks what it is they can do, Mantis tells him they "kick names and take ass". Cue a long Beat where Tony looks like he's seriously reconsidering every single one of his life choices, while Peter looks at Tony with a "well, now what do we do?" look on his face. Thanos is subject to this a lot; whomever he hires fails to deliver the Infinity Stones to him. After Ronan the Accuser betrayed him and purposely failed to deliver the Power Stone to him, this lead Thanos in Avengers: Age of Ultron to decide enough is enough and that he will get the stones himself.

Played with in the season 2 finale, in which Azula's disguised sidekicks blab that they are Fire Nation. As it turns out, she had staged the situation; the Dai Li overhearing is key to their take over. Turns out she was better off with the redshirts — her Quirky Miniboss Squad has consciences, and when they storm out on her she loses a lot of SAN points. The Legend of Korra: The sequel series has a notable moment when Amon's mooks fail to capture Korra, who has already been kidnapped and locked in a metal box by Tarrlok, but still manages to trick them into opening the box and letting her escape. Amon, having just warned them not to underestimate her, is not amused. The Earth Queen in Book 3 takes a leaf out of Scar's book by saying this exact quote while ordering her servants around.

Running down the list, Crichton eventually gets annoyed enough to suggest she just have the whole ship to herself. Aeryn's response: "Mmm. Is that an offer?" Ironically, when one of the people she believes should have left Moya apparently dies later that episode, she reacts with open horror. Guess she was just in a bad mood. On the villainous side, Scorpius has a fairly miserable time putting up with people like Crais, Grayza, and most of Natira's minions. And an equally miserable time when he pulls an Enemy Mine and discovers that the crew of Moya, far from the tactical geniuses he had anticipated, were a Dysfunction Junction of spectacular scale whose continued survival drew as much from wild improvisation and moments of brilliance as any kind of strategic savvy.

They want to assist Gaea, who is playing in an enemy faction because they are convinced that she's a Double Agent loyal to their own side. In reality, the events that made them come up with the Double Agent scenario are actually a Not Me This Time Frame-Up in which their own faction's top guild has a hand; this isn't even kept as a secret at least in the comic version of the story. An episode of the webseries also hints that Gaea's Manipulative Bastard tendencies have an Everybody Knew Already status to most players and that the members of the guild of Gaea Admirers are the only ones acting as if whatever they see her do should be kept secret. To top things off, they are also quite incompetent as helpers.

Still, one is drawing complicated mathematical equations on a chalkboard, and at the same time, the other one is dancing around with his tongue hanging out and is tied up in a straightjacket... do they really need to specify which one? Considering what happened when The Brain enhanced Pinky's intelligence, it might not hurt. Especially if you've seen the episode where The Brain actually lets Pinky attempt it on his own (the "Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?" bit) and it WORKS until The Brain screws it up. On the other hand, we humans aren't shown as exceptionally bright either. With a few exceptions, folks are perfectly willing to accept the word of a talking mouse in an obvious disguise.

They are normal people with their own motivations, goals, and Conflict Ball he didn't do much against. It's only logical that things don't always go the way he intended. Unfortunately, he can be an efficient villain even under such conditions. For example: Kamen Rider Build naturally runs into this a lot, being something of an Insufferable Genius. He has it even moreso late in the series when he reverts to his original, more abrasive personality of Takumi Katsuragi. Subverted in a late episode where he and his allies confront the Big Bad, and even facing a monstrously powerful evil they still engage in their usual comedic antics, causing Sento to remark "I'm surrounded by idiots..." before adding with a grin "...And I couldn't be happier!" Kamen Rider Zi-O: Tsukuyomi is mostly passive-agressive about the annoyances caused by overseeing an out of context future overlord, his pathologically hammy herald and the future overlord's wannabe assassin.

His Arch-Priestess is a Goddess with the brainpower of a gnat, his Crusader is a crazy masochist who literally can't hit the broadside of a barn, and his mage is an explosion obsessed Chuunibyou who tires out after casting one spell. He muses quite often that he'd replace all of them if he could.

Chilindrina shows a normal intelligence, if not higher than usual for a little girl: sheâ€™s not only very astute but also quite clever in the school episodes (her bad grades probable being a consequence of laziness instead). Of course, considering that stupidity is one of the main characteristics of both Chavo and Kiko, it isnâ€™t hard to be portrayed as smarter.

His father, Baron Wulfenbach, often has the same reaction to people around him. (Gilgamesh eventually reaches the point where he realizes this explains a LOT of the Baron's behavior.) Apparently when you're a Spark you really do feel like everyone else is dumber than you are, because they are (intellectually that is; not in the common sense way). At least two of the Jager generals display this attitude about their followers as well.

However, several other characters feel this way, and not without reason. Byakuya Togami, Ultimate Affluent Prodigy, from the first game is the most obvious example, as he considers himself to be above the other students in just about every respect. Some, like Yasuhiro Hagakure and Hifumi Yamada, just prove his point. In the third game, Kokichi Oma believes his classmates are too focused on turning on each other than defeating the killing game. He's not wrong either, and only succeeds in uniting everyone when they're united against him.

Zoro and Nami take turns being the Only Sane Man to lampshade the idiocy. Robin has moments of her too, what with her being The Stoic of the group. This is lampshaded during a scene where everyone save for Nami and Vivi are drinking, Vivi worries but Nami calms her down telling her that everyone knows what they have to do if a storm starts. Captain Kuro has this reaction in regards to his crew. It's not so much that the crew is stupid as it is that he's the smartest man in the East Blue next to Benn Beckman of the Red-Haired Pirates, and looks down on his crew as thugs that are useless without his plans. This is part of why his plan involves having all of them die so that he can maintain the secret of his own death having been faked. On the side of the Marines, Vice-Admiral Momonga has to deal with a rather impressionable crew that can't keep its act together both when facing a Sea King and meeting the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, making people wonder why he bothers with them. Queen reacts with stunned disbelief when he checks in on Kaido's prison labour camp to find out his subordinates have not only let the high-profile prisoner Eustass Kid escape and gotten the master key to the Power Nullifier prisoner handcuffs stolen, but Straw Hat Luffy is literally in the process of escaping within view, and they had decided to waste time telling Queen this instead of trying to stop him.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_a455c69f	comment	Morality Chain (Avatar: The Last Airbender): Azula is very, very rarely impressed with anyone in the Fire Nation besides Ty Lee and Mai. And the main exceptions are Zuko and Iroh. Most of the Fire Nation generals are incompetent idiots. This is apparently partly due to Lowered Recruiting Standards; with the imminent return of Sozin's Comet, they won't actually need competent people in charge soon, since all resistance will be completely shattered. The soldiers who accompany her on the way to the Earth Kingdom are supposed to be elites, but she considers their Firebending forms atrocious. On the plus side, her primary way of dealing with this is forcing them to train with her—while it's not fun for them to be used as punching bags, they do know they learn from the experience. She facepalms when she finds out that Mai's parents allowed an evacuation due to a suspicious plague in a city that was already known to have a resistance movement. She's also annoyed that they've agreed to trade the extremely valuable King Bumi for the return of their kidnapped infant son Tom-Tom, but she can understand capitulating... until she finds out that offering Bumi was their idea.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project's Sakuya Izayoi has to clean and guard the entire Scarlet Devil Mansion in spite of having a virtual army of hundreds of guards and maids single-handedly because the other meidos (all of which are fairies, a race of infamously unintelligent nature spirits) would do more harm than good, and the other guards, including Butt-Monkey Hong Meiling, tend to sleep instead of stand watch. Which is just as well, they're too incompetent to stop the Kleptomaniac Hero Marisa, anyway. Somewhat Flanderized by fanon in Meiling's case: even though she does take the usual siesta, it doesn't interfere with her work in any way. She's actually quite good at dealing with riffraff, a talented gardener and a very good martial artist... none of that particularly useful when trying to stop Plot Armor-infused characters. Reisen gets similar treatment; her boss is an absolute sadist Mad Scientist who experiments on her just to pass the time, none of the underlings she supposedly commands listen to her, Tewi (who they do listen to) is The Trickster who would rather torment her than help her, and the other Earth Rabbits are just as lazy, stupid, and easily distracted as any fairy. Because of these things, she winds up being just a no-good bunny, only useful for her sex-appeal.

During the Siege of the Emperor's Palace, Perturabo of the Iron Warriors - a man who had little enough respect for the intelligence of the people around him at the best of times - was left managing the whole affair while Horus was indisposed and most of the other Primarchs present were getting increasingly Drunk on the Dark Side. Eventually the aggravation of dealing with them managed to do what over a hundred years of back-breaking siege engagements couldn't and prompted Perturabo to just give up on them and leave.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Ogrons, ape-like minions of the Master and the Daleks, are a literal version of this trope. Oddly, that's more of an Informed Ability, as they actually are fairly effective minions, able to hold their own against human soldiers or guerillas as well as draconians. In the Eighth Doctor Adventures, Sabbath's minions are an assortment of normal (but seemingly fairly well-trained; they can handle guns) Earth apes. They seem to be about as clever as can be expected, but don't comprehend video cameras and get scared if they hear one producing an imitation of his voice, suggesting he's a bit of a Bad Boss to them. Queen Katrika, in "The Mysterious Planet" uses this one almost by name while wandering round lost in the underground. Harrison Chase from "The Seeds of Doom" declares this twice in one episode. The Doctor themself sometimes complains about the human race in this way. Nine often called humans "stupid apes", while Twelve's go-to insult was "pudding-brains".

Surrounded by Idiots / int_f688799b	comment	The novelization of My Little Pony: The Movie (2017) provides some additional insight into Tempest Shadow's mental state: "'Well, answer it!' Tempest barked. Sometimes she couldn't help feeling as though she was surrounded by incompetent oafs. They couldn't even accomplish the simplest tasks, like answering a potion call."

Notably, Severus himself has such long experience that he has no such difficulty; he can immediately identify each mistake.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Megatron of the original Transformers has nothing but bad things to say about Starscream's intelligence, bravery, and trustworthiness... but continually places him in a position of authority and trusts him with pivotal missions. In the G1 cartoon episode Auto Berserk, Megatron actually makes a rare pop culture reference by perfectly quoting Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, screaming out in the middle of battle "I've got MORONS on my team!". Deconstructed a few times where Starscream or some other Deception actually predict a definite error in Megatron's plan. He dismisses it as this trope until the problem inevitably occurs. In Transformers: Animated we have this little gem from Megatron when Lugnut and Shockwave are brawling over who's the more loyal minion after some prodding from Starscream.

Surrounded by Idiots / int_fc439a61	comment	Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: In the second game, Blaise Debeste sends out his henchmen to kidnap John Marsh. They end up kidnapping Blaise's own son Sebastian instead since for some reason they thought the best way to make sure they got the correct target is to ask them "Do you know Justine Courtney?" rather than something more concrete, like "Are you John Marsh?" One could fault Blaise for not providing them with a picture of the target, but since the target is a famous up-and-coming child actor starring in a big blockbuster movie whose face is already plastered everywhere he probably didn't think he needed to.
