** Kaldor Draigo joins these ranks as well. Even after having gone friggin' insane due to warp exposure, to the point he's become a sort of power-armored, bearded screwball, he's every bit as [[MarySue Sue-ish]] as he always was and even if you're [[spoiler:a Demon Primarch who just went OneWingedAngel]] he'll take you down before you can ''blink''.

* [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Chimpanzees]] are known for being human-like, to the point where they are dressed in human outfits. Also, they can make a funny, huge, toothy grin they flash for the cameras, it makes them look devilish. The bad thing is, it's not a grin, but a mouthful of very large teeth being bared. Despite their small size, they're strong enough to literally tear a human limb-from-limb with their bare hands.

* In general, if a tabletop role-playing game has a major combat component, a lot of PlayerCharacters will end up like this. With your average tabletop gamer's penchant for jokes and wacky antics, combined with the potential for badassery many [=TTRPGs=] offer, you often get a ragtag team of wacky, mildly psychotic goofballs taking on the world and winning.

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Speaking of Alastor, he looks, talks, and acts like your typical 1930s radio host, cracks random jokes whenever he can ([[EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor as dark as they are]]), and is more than willing to show off his theatrical talents the moment an opportunity arises. He's also murdered numerous people in life and death, overthrown demonic overlords that have ruled for ''centuries'', and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking spieled about]] how the denizens of Hell simply ''being'' in Hell proves that they're BeyondRedemption. [[CheshireCatGrin All with an honest-to-God smile on his face.]]

* Princesses of Spades from ''TabletopGame/PrincessTheHopeful'' have an ideal based on [[CrazyEnoughToWork outside the box thinking]] and [[FunPersonified spreading humor]], which has resulted in them gaining a reputation as lazy and immature pranksters. The crossover section of the game's wiki, however, mentions that some of them managed to con some of the ''[[TabletopGame/ChangelingTheLost True Fae]]'' into leaving the physical world forever.
* Clan Malkavian from ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' is one and all incurably insane in some form or another. Some insanities may be "harmless," but the nutjobs are still vampires with all the inhuman strength and resilience that entails. If the guy babbling in the corner thinks you're interrupting the conversation with the voices in his head, they might convince him to tear your arms out and beat you to death with the wet ends. Oh, and one of their clan skills, the one that scares the hell out of other clans, is to [[MindRape "share" their madness with you]] if they feel like doing so, which makes the aforementioned death look preferable.
** Clan Toreador are stereotyped as being snobby, high-culture posers who obsess over art and fashion. However, several vampires have found to their great loss that clan Toreador's focus on social interaction makes them excellent investigators and interrogators, to the point that a surprising number of Sheriffs are Toreador. On top of that, the clan's innate abilities involve supernatural speed and perception, meaning that any Toreador can become a highly functional gunslinger, should the need arise. Then there's the Toreador whose chosen art is swordplay or marksmanship... let's just say that ''everyone'' minds their pleases and thank yous around those vampires.

** Luke Atmey takes the cake. It's rather difficult to take this particular blowhard seriously, [[spoiler:until you learn he was the mastermind behind several thefts thought impossible. In fact, while Atmey is a {{Pride}}ful AttentionWhore, he also qualifies as an InsufferableGenius and even a MagnificentBastard, getting you to have him ''accused of theft'' just so he could use that as an alibi for a murder that happened at the same time--a murder he actually had committed]]!

* ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' has Monika, who at first seems like your standard High School Girl from a typical Harem; adorable, peppy, and overall quirky, especially when it came to literature. [[spoiler: However, after progressing through the game and having to deal with [[DrivenToSuicide your best friend's suicide]], [[InterfaceScrew horrible glitches and visuals]], and [[SanitySlippage the deteriorating mental health]] of one of your possible love interests, you then uncover the source behind these horrors: Monika, who has [[AIIsaCrapshoot been Self-aware since the beginning]] and is a flat out RealityWarper who's fully willing to tamper with the game's code, mess with the girls' personalities, and even ''delete the remaining girls herself from the game's code'' in order to make sure she has you to herself. Her actions alone shift the game into PsychologicalHorror.]]
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'' is a game in which the silliest characters often turn out to be the most dangerous. Your maths teacher is constantly falling asleep and is rather airheaded even aside from that, [[spoiler:but he's using a false identity to fulfill a quest for vengeance and is ''fully'' willing to kill for his goals]]. That weird manga club kid who acts like he's a YA hero all the time [[spoiler:actually produces hallucinogenic pheromones which he's not immune to but which he ''can'' use to draw others in and thwart them in the strangest way imaginable]]. The developmentally delayed track team captain spends the majority of his route talking about pudding and freaking out over the strangest things, [[spoiler:only for it to turn out that he is a ''PhysicalGod'' who in his route ascends to the heavens and remakes reality in his image]]. Generally speaking, nobirdie in Littledove Hachiman City should be underestimated for even a second, because they're all very capable of some very strange things, and when more than one of these characters cross paths it tends to turn the game into [[GenreShift a horror game]] or make it awesome.

* ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'' has a few.
** Gog-Agog has adopted a jester aesthetic, never seems to take anything seriously, and is given little to no respect by the other demiurges. She also just so happens to be a [[HiveMind cosmic hive mind]] that's billions (maybe even *trillions*) strong, and all it takes for her to hijack someone is a single grub. It's also heavily implied in one of the more recent comics that [[spoiler: she's been manipulating Solomon David, and possibly everyone else in the Concordance,]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity for a very long time]].
** Cio is introduced as a foul-mouthed, fanfiction-obsessed scribe in the service of a lesser demon. We later learn that [[spoiler: she was once an incredibly powerful ebon devil who managed to steal part of a demiurge's Key of Kings from right under his nose.]] It's [[TheAtoner something she'd rather forget.]]



** The [[AffablyEvil Courtyard Droll]] counts too. Despite working for the evil Dersites, he's a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} whose version of torture involves [[FelonyMisdemeanor swapping hats with someone]] - and a terrifyingly effective assassin with a bodycount that includes [[spoiler:both Jade and Jake's dreamself.]] For comparison, Hegemonic Brute, TheBigGuy of the agents, managed to accumulate ''zero'' kills before his [[spoiler:death in both universes]].

* Sparky from ''Webcomic/TheLastMechanicalMonster''. A ninety-nine year old supervillain who's completely out of touch with modern society after serving a sixty-four year prison sentence. Pretty amusing comedy there, right up until he restores one of his flying, flame throwing robots...

** The Monster in the Dark is this in two directions simultaneously. Firstly, it was [[InformedAbility introduced as a terrible monstrosity]] only to turn out to be somewhat dim-witted and quite possibly harmless. Secondly, after spending a long time behaving in a very child-like and friendly manner and doing nothing else, we got a few clues that the [=MitD=] might in fact be an exceptionally powerful (and thus potentially dangerous) creature. Its true nature has yet to be revealed, but from what we know, his very ''lightest'' whack will send you flying through the nearest wall, and a stomp of his creates minor earthquakes, among other mysterious feats. Most recently he joined Xykon, Redcloak, and a new character in clearing out a cave full of monsters. All the others came out visibly damaged - including Xykon! The Monster in the Darkness comes out still carrying his bucket of red paint. As in, he presumably did it all one handed.

* Ben from ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' is a goofball, and most of the time doesn't seem to have a worry in the world. Even as the rest of the school labours under the influence of the Union, Ben can be seen having a great time messing around with his friends. That isn't to say that he doesn't care- as soon as the Union try to mess with the ones he cares about, he more than demonstrates how he earned the nickname [[MightyGlacier Big Ben]].

* At times, Dr. Insano of ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'' and ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' seems like an IneffectualSympatheticVillain, but there have been times where he's been a somewhat legit menace, such as the times he took control of the giant robot Comicbook/{{Neutro}}, discovered the Anti-Comic Equation (with Warrior #1, a comic so irredeemably awful it distorted the space-time continuum), and hired Squall to assassinate Spoony. Despite all this, Spoony still let him [[GoKartingWithBowser assist him with the review]] of the awful film, ''The Clones Of Bruce Lee''.
** One could argue that wasn't exactly a [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment reward]] for good behavior.

* In ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'', Scanlan Shorthalt has all the appearances and mannerisms of a QuirkyBard, and Creator/SamRiegel has stated in interviews that he explicitly tried to make the dumbest character possible. However, Scanlan has had several badass moments throughout the series (thanks to 5th Edition ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' Bards being incredibly powerful and versatile spellcasters,) including [[spoiler:taking on an entire manor filled with armed guards by himself]] in Episode 31, [[spoiler:severing Percy's connection to [[EnemyWithout Orthax]]]] in Episode 35, [[spoiler:paralyzing a Goliath warchief that was [[TheWorfEffect tossing]] [[TheBigGuy Grog]] [[TheWorfEffect around like a ragdoll]] only a minute ago]] in Episode 52, [[spoiler:slaying a [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Pit Fiend]] and stopping the Efreeti guards of the City of Brass from arresting Vox Machina]] in Episode 76, and [[spoiler:holding his own in a WizardDuel against ''freaking [[PhysicalGod Vecna]]'']] in Episode 114.
* There have been many occasions on ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'' that deliberately pitted a funny and light-hearted character against a DarkerAndEdgier counterpart, and on [[spoiler:nearly every one of those occasions, the silly character has won]]. The crowners have to be [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rainbow Dash]] giving a CurbStompBattle to [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Starscream]]]], and [[spoiler:ComicBook/BoosterGold outsmarting ComicBook/{{Cable}} into killing himself with his own technology]].



* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' has a few examples:
** "[[EmbarrassingNickname Little Kitten]]". He's the series' ButtMonkey, constantly insulted by everyone and ComicallyMissingThePoint half of the time. He's also [[spoiler:the Captain-General of the Custodes]] and capable of calling down copious amounts of whoopass: He's shown good enough aim and reflexes to shoot a flipped coin out of the air to make sure it landed the way he wanted it to, easily survives any kind of psychic abuse by ''the Emperor'' without any injuries to show for it, and in terms of tactical acumen has outsmarted both the Emperor and ''[[spoiler:Tzeentch himself]]'', even if it was in [[TabletopGame/YuGiOh a children's card game]].
** The Custodes themselves. As Fyodor finds out the hard way, though their ways might be silly and more than slightly homoerotic, they're still very much the elite among elites of the Imperium's fighting forces.
** Cegorach. He looks like a deranged clown and speaks in Joker font, but he ''is'' a PhysicalGod and quick to educate the ignorant on Why Not To Annoy Deities 101. He has utterly terrified the above Custodes just by cracking bad jokes about strippers at them, leaving them traumatized even when he was going to let them pass anyways, and effortlessly evicted an entire Chaos Warband from his library after toying with them for a few minutes.
** Magnus. He might spend most of his time used as a punchline for the Emperor... but it's ''the Emperor'' who's taunting the incredibly powerful psyker. [[spoiler:Karamazov and the assembled Inquisition army learn this to their detriment when Magnus nonchalantly sends them into the Warp with little more than a gesture.]]
** Kaldor Draigo joins these ranks as well. Even after having gone friggin' insane due to warp exposure, to the point he's become a sort of power-armored, bearded screwball, he's every bit as [[MarySue Sue-ish]] as he always was and even if you're [[spoiler:a Demon Primarch who just went OneWingedAngel]] he'll take you down before you can ''blink''.
* Generator (Jade Sinclair) of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse. She's cute, she's wacky, she invents crazy stuff, she looks like she's only ten... She stopped a supervillain with the powers of the werewolf by ''nailing him to a tree with railroad spikes''. She destroyed a Syndicate hardsite by killing their minions and making it look like she had turned them into zombies. She once broke a close friend out of a magical trap... by firing an anti-tank weapon at it. She's weaponized her hair barrettes, makeup compact, and at least one of her plushy toys. Her shoulder angels nearly caused open warfare across the Whateley Academy campus.
* [[Film/PetesDragon1977 Elliott]] in Website/{{Rplegacy}}'s ''Dark Clouds Gathering'' fantasy crossover [=RPG=] is a good-natured goofball most of the time. God help you [[BerserkButton if you mess with any kids]] when he's around to see you doing it, though.



** In the [=#CellGames=] video series, [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]] proves to be this. After defeating or forcing to retreat [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Yusuke Urameshi]], [[Manga/YuGiOh Yami Yugi]], [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu and Ken]] and [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic and Knuckles]], Kenshiro walks us and... wants to know if Cell has "bug meat". All the while Cell mocks him, calling him a hobo and, once he performs the ''[[RapidFireFisticuffs Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken]]'', mocks the attack as "tickling". Until Kenshiro tells him "YouAreAlreadyDead" and causes Cell to ''explode''. Unlike the mooks Kenshiro normally fights, [[FromASingleCell Cell regenerates from this]], but it doesn't do him any good-- he explodes again less than a minute later, and Kenshiro didn't even have to touch him.

* In ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'', the entire Blood Gulch Crew. They're complete morons who spend more time squabbling amongst themselves than they do fighting the enemy... but they didn't kill ''all'' their opponents by chance. A partial list:
** Sarge and Donut are able to capture and kill (respectively) Agent Texas, TheAce of the Freelancers.
** Tucker finds a laser sword that makes him TheChosenOne of an alien prophecy, and he quickly learns how to use it. It also gives him RippleEffectProofMemory, which allows him to trick and defeat [[TimeMaster Agent Wyoming]].
** Caboose completely ''shreds'' the Battle Creek Reds and Blues when he gets angry.
** The Reds manage to completely humiliate both Washington and [[ImplacableMan the Meta]] working together.
** By the end of the Recollection saga, they take on the Meta and manage to ''actually kill him'', which none of Project Freelancer's elite agents have done.
** In the Chorus Trilogy, they're seen as incredible heroes by the Chorusian armies, but still get absolutely steamrollered by Felix (who himself is goofy enough to qualify for this trope). Felix himself doesn't take them all too seriously once he gets to know them, [[spoiler: until they trick him into an EngineeredPublicConfession about how he and Locus had been PlayingBothSides in order to kill off everyone on Chorus, followed up by rallying both armies, arming them with alien weaponry, and handing him a HumiliationConga]].
** They curbstomp the other Simulation Troopers on their way to fight the Blues and Reds.
* Eian, Link and Zelda's coachman from ''Script/TheLightOfCourage''. Most of his role is just to make jokes about the current situation, but when he finds himself face-to-face with Ganon, he somehow manages to steal the Triforce of Power.
* ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'': In their ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign, the Oxventurers' Guild as a whole are fairly goofy and seemingly not much of a threat. Dob, the half-orc bard, is a friendly guy who keeps throwing money into lakes for no particularly coherent reason; Merilwen, while often the OnlySaneMan, is also largely indifferent to anything outside of animals; Corazon the pirate is egotistical, irresponsible and greedy; Egbert the Careless, while well-intentioned, is also largely devoid of forward planning skills and prone to acting on pure chaotic energy; and Prudence, the warlock, is a wackily overplayed CardCarryingVillain. This group of five amiable wackos, over the course of wandering around the kingdom of Geth, have also shredded basically every significant threat the DM has thrown at them, from powerful fiends to horrific aberrations to, on one memorable occasion, throwing an entire tower of enemies into chaos with skilful manipulations and the careful use of magic. [[SuccessThroughInsanity Presumably their eccentricities give them a particular knack for coming up with unexpected solutions.]]

She stopped a supervillain with the powers of the werewolf by ''nailing him to a tree with railroad spikes''. She destroyed a Syndicate hardsite by killing their minions
and making it look like she had turned them into zombies. She once managed to make [[ActionGirl TT, broke a close friend out of all cats]] back down with a couple of punches magical trap... by firing an anti-tank weapon at it.

Often achieved by way of CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass. Can be a variation of UnderestimatingBadassery. Compare HarmlessVillain and NotSoHarmlessVillain. Also compare FightingClown. Contrast MilesGloriosus. May overlap with {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, at least by appearances. Helps avoid having to ShooOutTheClowns. If it's this same silliness that makes them dangerous, it may overlap with SuccessThroughInsanity. May make you liable to ThreatBackfire. See also BewareTheNiceOnes if they're kind and caring and BewareTheQuietOnes if they're known for their near silence. In case the silly one is just acting silly and is actually downright serious, that's ObfuscatingStupidity.

His power is mental control over baboons, he paints his face to resemble a mandrill, and rides around in a zeppelin carried by a monkey-shaped parade balloon. However, the Mad Monkey is ''also'' one of the more competent supervillains the Red Panda faces, making a clean escape about as often as he's captured and being the rare opponent immune to the Red Panda's trademark hypnosis. In "Stop the Presses", he joins the Red Panda in an EnemyMine to save a newspaper building that's been taken hostage. He spends the episode doing things like pondering if his and the Red Panda's combined mental powers making the hostage takers ignore them counts as invisibility only to reveal at the end that the whole time this was happening his baboon army was robbing the city blind on his behalf and the Red Panda is forced to let him get away as the enemies they've knocked out need to be restrained before they regain consciousness.

Deleted the deer example because it doesn't explain how they are supposed to look "silly".

Deleted the rhubarb and humans examples because neither really fits the "silly" part of the trope name, especially rhubarb. We don't know if humans look "silly" and "unthreatening" to other species, and humans thinking other humans look silly wouldn't count if it's talking about how humans are dangerous to other species.


* Rhubarb looks a lot like celery with a red or pink stalk (it can have a green stalk too, so beware). The leafstalks of both plants are edible, as are Celery leaves. Rhubarb leaves, however, have so much oxalic acid concentrated into the tissue so as to be deadly. While oxalic acid is what gives rhubarb its deliciously tart flavor, in large quantities, it can cause immense harm, in that, at toxic doses, crystals of oxalic acid will form in the blood, and when the blood is filtered through the glomeri of the kidneys, these crystals will lacerate the tissues of the kidney, so that the poisoned person will bleed to death by urinating blood.



* The Woolly Mammoth is an actual scary animal, being large and with massive tusks that could definitely hurt someone on the wrong end of them. They went extinct in large part because very silly looking hairless apes without any claws, sharp teeth, and half their size decided that the mammoth was delicious and nutritious. Turns out said apes are the most intelligent animal by miles as well as the one with the best stamina within the animal kingdom in addition to a communication ability that can vocalize very large amount of complex information. This combination meant that no matter how far the prey ran, these apes could go further, were a ScarilyCompetentTracker and could always find you, and could call for help. These Silly Apes are [[HumansAreSpecial now the dominant species on the planet]], have no natural predators, and other apex predators would rather avoid than outright hunt them, only eating them if they are very, very, desperate. [[HumansAreSmelly And some predators find that these apes do not taste good at all.]] This particular ape is, in fact, so dangerous, it has been known to wipe out entire species [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds without even trying]]--simply as a byproduct of their everyday activities.

* ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'': In their ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' campaign, the Oxventurers' Guild as a whole are fairly goofy and seemingly not much of a threat. Dob, the half-orc bard, is a friendly guy who keeps throwing money into lakes for no particularly coherent reason; Merilwen, while often the OnlySaneMan, is also largely indifferent to anything outside of animals; Corazon the pirate is egotistical, irresponsible and greedy; Egbert the Careless, while well-intentioned, is also largely devoid of forward planning skills and prone to acting on pure chaotic energy; and Prudence, the warlock, is a wackily overplayed CardCarryingVillain. This group of five amiable wackos, over the course of wandering around the kingdom of Geth, have also shredded basically every significant threat the DM has thrown at them, from powerful fiends to horrific aberrations to, on one memorable occasion, throwing an entire tower of enemies into chaos with skilful manipulations and the careful use of magic. [[SuccessThroughInsanity Presumably their eccentricities give them a particular knack for coming up with unexpected solutions.]]

** On the subject of ''DBZA,'' Goku himself is even more childish and naive than his canon counterpart and sometimes forgets he even ''has a son.'' The two things that primarily tend to be on his mind are food and fights, which is very much PlayedForLaughs. That said, he's still easily the strongest fighter on the hero's side for much of the series, taking a ''[[CurbStompBattle far]]'' shorter time to defeat Nappa compared to canon and outright getting bored with 100% Frieza, and he's ''far'' from stupid when it comes to strategizing, with the crown jewel being his (albeit slightly flawed) BatmanGambit against Cell.

* Doug Eiffel from ''Podcast/Wolf359'' speaks mostly in [[SpeaksInShoutouts pop-culture references]], is willing to lock himself in a freezing room for 16 hours over a tube of toothpaste and [[ActualPacifist refuses any plan that contains violence in any way]]. He's also [[spoiler: a recovering alcoholic and a convicted felon, outsmarted a scientific genius with nothing but a cigarette and a voice modifier, survived 180 days in a non-functioning spacecraft by repeatedly freezing himself, and he's broken his ActualPacifist status to kick Kepler's ass after he threatened Doug's deaf daughter]].

** Clan Toreador are stereotyped as being snobby, high-culture posers who obsess over art and fashion. However, several vampires have found to their great loss that clan Toreador's focus on social interaction makes them excellent investigators and interrogators, to the point that a surprising number of Sheriffs are Toreador. On top of that, the clan's innate abilities involve supernatural speed and perception, meaning that any Toreador can become a highly functional gunslinger, should the need arise. Then there's the Toreador whose chosen art is swordplay or marksmanship... let's just say that ''everyone'' minds their pleases and thank yous around those vampires.
