* ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones'' presents us with Serial Designation N, one of the Disassembly Drones. He's enthusiastic, cheerful, and goofy...and also just as capable of killing as any other of his kind when his friendly personality isn't holding him back.

* The Hong Kong-based toyline Acid Rain World is set in a post-apocalypse Earth where pollution and nuclear war has rendered much of it inhabitable. But even places like this there's room for silliness. Meet the Luggan faction, these wanderers of Europe look like sports mascots with their big, thick furry costumes and silly masks. The Luggans are also known for making delicious offal dishes. But they'e not easy pickings for marauders as these tribes often carry heavy machine guns and powerful rocket launchers to deter bandits.

** Most Toon Monsters are cartoony versions of already-existing cards, and pretty much all of them look significantly more goofy. They can also be summoned more rapidly than their original counterparts, and have the nasty ability to attack an opponent directly, ignoring any Monster defending it except another Toon Monster. The catch is that they usually need either a Toon World or a Toon Kingdom card to exist - and if [[AchillesHeel it gets destroyed]], they perish with it.

* During the Late Cretaceous, therizinosaurs were the dinosaur equivalent of ground sloths, plodding browsers with long claws evolved to rake branches, and easily one of the most comical-looking dinosaurs ever found ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therizinosaurus#/media/File:Therizinosaurus_Restoration.png imagine a giant, overfeed turkey with claws]]) but those WolverineClaws allowed them to fend off predators, namely tyrannosaurs, who are often found in association with therizinosaurs across Asia and even one site in North America. The largest of them, ''Therizinosaurus'', is estimated to have stood over 4 meters tall and had claws 50 cm long, the largest claws of any known animal (the keratin sheath in life would have made them even longer), allowing it to fight off the apex predator of its environment, ''Tarbosaurus'', the Asian twin of [[KingOfTheDinosaurs T. rex]].

* Norman Sheffield was the first manager of the band Music/{{Queen}}, and (allegedly) decided to take financial advantage of the newly-famous musicians, them being naive to the world of recording contracts and such. The leader of these goofy longhaired glam rockers later wrote "Death on Two Legs", which he said was "Dedicated to a [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]] of a gentleman", and filled with so many acidic insults it was essentially a musical TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.

* ''WebAnimation/HalfLifeZeroViscosity:'' We get the "beware" before the "silly", but the first episode introduces Po Ta Ter the Pit Drone as a PintsizedPowerhouse that can kill two Metrocops in the blink of an eye (not to mention players of Videogame/HalfLifeOpposingForce would remember them as vicious little things that could murder you in seconds)... and after that, he spends his off-time wearing a party hat and rambling like an overexcited child about how the Gene Worm is going to eat everything. Shock Trooper pretty much treats him like a kid (and he's a silly one himself).

* ''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.]]

* Xenarthrans are a good example of it. The living giant anteater is a very goofy-looking animal that (as the name implies) mainly feeds on ants and termites but it is also armed with formidable claws and has been known to chase away and even kill jaguars and cougars. The same is true for its extinct relatives, the ground sloths, a varied group of…well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin giant, terrestrial sloths]], who would have come across as cumbersome and docile-looking vegetarians, but they were armed with similar claws, on top of having thousands of tiny bones embedded in their skin, giving them a sort of biological chainmail armor (based on the mummified skin of ''Mylodon''). Combine those two traits, and even the fiercest predators of the Americas during the Pliocene-Pleistocene like terror birds and saber-toothed cats would have been hesitant to tackle these hulking browsers. The largest of ground sloths, like ''Megatherium'', grew as big as elephants, so they were off the menu by that virtue alone.

* ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'': Alastor 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.]]
* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'':
** Blitzo can charitably be described as [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} an absolute goofball]]. But then there are moments like the one at the end of the first episode where he warns Moxxie that, if Moxxie ever pulls a stunt like the one that caused said episode's plot ever again, then he will fuck both Moxxie ''and'' Moxxie's wife. The tone of his voice gets across that this is ''not'' an idle threat and Blitzo ''won't'' care if the fucking is consensual or not -- that he then [[MoodSwinger immedietely snaps back to his usual upbeat and goofy behaviour]] ''does not'' make this moment ''any'' less creepy. The fact that Blitzo is the founder and leader of the [[MurderInc Immediate Murder Professionals]] group is probably your first clue that he is ''not'' to be trifled with.
*** Later on, the crew meet an imp named [[TheAce Striker]], who is better than most everyone around him and knows it. Blitzo not only proves to be his match during a series of events called the "Pain Games", he later gets into a fist fight with him and thoroughly trounces him.
** Stolas may act very goofy, very pompous, and ''very'' lustful at times, but these quirks make it easy to forget that he's a prince of Hell that can create portals to wherever he desires, breathe in the vacuum of space, [[TakenForGranite turn you to stone with just a glare]], possess humans, reanimate corpses and force the corpses to carry out a summoning ritual to make him manifest in the human world. In fact, if it weren't for his various quirks, one would be forgiven for mistaking him for [[ShownTheirWork his namesake in the]] Literature/ArsGoetia. Vivziepop even mentioned in a livestream that, despite the differences in how their powers work, he's more powerful than ''[[TheDreaded Alas]][[WebAnimation/HazbinHotel tor!]]''
** The entirety of the Immediate Murder Professionals are cornered by a quasi-government agency, [[EmbarrassingInitials D.H.O.R.K.S]]. Seventy-odd MenInBlack type agents armed for bear with various Edo-period weaponry vs [[CloudcuckooLander Bli]][[ProfessionalKiller tzo]], [[CuteButPsycho Mil]][[TheBerserker lie]], [[BrattyTeenageDaughter Loo]][[HellHound na]], and [[CuteButCacophonic Mox]][[TheGunslinger xie]]. They don't stand a chance. I.M.P. proceeds to clean house, taking them all out without suffering a single casualty among themselves.
* ''WebAnimation/HunterTheParenting'':
** Big D is a maniacal LargeHam who's constantly hopped up on multiple drugs. He's also a terrifyingly experiences and efficient HunterOfMonsters.
** The Mighty Kevin looks like a CrazyHomelessPerson larping as a wizard, but he's the most dangerous of the Tunnel vamps due to his [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil low generation]] and ability to use [[MindControl Domination]] on multiple targets..
* ''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 OP before you can ''blink''.



* In ''WebAnimation/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.

* A case of HoistByHisOwnPetard: Sometimes, {{Heel}}s in Wrestling/{{ECW}} would throw out open challenges and the worst they would leave with was a bruised ego. After Justin Credible d. Chris Chetti at ''ECW Ultimate Jeopardy 97,'' November 8, 1997 (televised on the November 15th show), his manager [[Characters/{{ECW}} Jason "The Sexiest Man on Earth"]] got on the mic and talked about how, out of 30 or so guys in the locker room, he was one of the few who could actually wrestle and that "it sucks" only working as a manager. So, since he was in his "street clothes," he issued an open challenge for a "street fight." Cue "Let Me Clear My Throat" by DJ Kool, and out comes...Wrestling/TheBlueMeanie with [[Wrestling/MikeBucci Super Nova]]? Jason dismisses Meanie at first, but finally agrees. While it's not much of a match, and even less of a "street fight" (referee John [=Finnegan=] blocks Meanie from attacking when Jason ducks his head through the ropes), it qualifies as Jason basically treats Meanie as a joke the whole time...until Meanie [[GroinAttack comes up with a testicular claw]] into a schoolboy rollup for the pin! (For an example of how much worse this could have turned out for Jason, see [[TooDumbToLive/ProWrestling Too Dumb To Live]].)

[[http://web.archive.org/web/20170123162432/http://images.travelpod.com/users/shieldsontour/world_tour_2008.1215108420.angry-hippo.jpg Hippos aren't afraid to bite.]] And the lesson is? Don't antagonize an animal that's eager to bite you with teeth as big as bowling pins! There's a reason why Steve Irwin was afraid of them. Sometimes hippos don't bite. They simply want to go back into the water, and don't give two fucks about what or who is on the way. [[StoutStrength Getting hit by one is just like getting hit by a truck]].

* Music/{{Eminem}}'s ClassClown rapping style leads to him spending a lot of time doing silly gimmick rapping like [[LeastRhymeableWord rhyming words like "orange" and "discombobulated"]], rhyming things with disc-scratching sounds ([[SayingTheSoundEffectOutLoud made with his mouth]]), [[ManOfAThousandVoices flickering into various characters and accent]], and making [[BottomOfTheBarrelJoke hyperoffensive cracks]] and (later) [[HurricaneOfPuns groaner puns]]. He got famous for a novelty song BlackSheepHit, and his fanbase was made up of [[EstrogenBrigade swooning teenage girls]] and [[SubvertedKidsShow prepubescent children whose parents didn't know what was on the albums]], so many of his peers did not take him very seriously... until he effortlessly outrapped Music/JayZ in "Renegade", so much so that 'renegading' is now used in hip-hop slang to mean a guest rapper murdering the artist who made the album. Few rappers are willing to guest on his albums because of his reputation of eating them alive, and his {{Diss Track}}s have a reputation for causing severe damage -- he's credited with ending the careers of Ja Rule and Benzino.

** Blitzo can charitably be described as [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} an absolute goofball]]. But then there are moments like the one at the end of the first episode where he warns Moxxie that, if Moxxie ever pulls a stunt like the one that casued said episode's plot ever again, then he will fuck both Moxxie ''and'' Moxxie's wife. The tone of his voice gets across that this is ''not'' an idle threat and Blitzo ''won't'' care if Moxxie consents to the fucking or not -- that he then [[MoodSwinger immedietely snaps back to his usual upbeat and goofy behavior]] also does not make this moment ''any'' less creepy. The fact that Blitzo is the founder and leader of the [[MurderInc Immediate Murder Professionals]] group is probably your first clue that he is ''not'' to be trifled with.
** Stolas may act very goofy, very pompus, and ''very'' lustful at times, but these quirks make it easy to forget that he's a prince of Hell that can create portals to wherever he desires, breathe in the vacuum of space, and ''[[TakenForGranite turn you to stone with just a glare]]''. In fact, if it weren't for his various quirks, one would be forgiven for mistaking him for [[ShownTheirWork his namesake in the Ars Goetia.]] Vivziepop even mentioned in a livestream that, despite how their powers work, he's more powerful than ''[[TheDreaded Alas]][[WebAnimation/HazbinHotel tor]]!''
