** Teddy is frequently prone to this. Give him a task and he will make it overly complicated or outright fail at it, only to then comment on how simple it was when he does figure it out. [[NeverMyFault He'll then ask why no one pointed this out when he asked]].

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Twilight Sparkle constantly overthinks on things. The episode "Lesson Zero" once had her only give a baker's dozen of cupcakes with only a drip oi frosting just to avoid a mere inconvenience of any other cupcakes getting more frosting than the rest.
** Starlight Glimmer also has a problem with overthinking, like when trying to make friends with Big [=MacIntosh=] or Mrs. Cake, she tries to use her magic to get on their good side, but it ends up backfiring on her.

* In ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'', Po is utterly incapable of performing any kind of kung fu. He can, however, punch through doors and do perfect splits while [[BigEater trying to get food.]] Fitting the original usage of the trope, the moment it's pointed out to him he's ten feet off the ground he falls flat on his face.

* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': An episode has Peggy, Dale, and Minh secretly using Bill's interests and likes as an example of what to invest in on the stock market. When being used as an oblivious test monkey, Bill's a money-making machine. When he finds out and is actively trying to impress them, he begins second guessing himself and the results falter and fail. Dale name-drops the Observer Effect to explain.

** "Pickles" has [=SpongeBob=] forgetting how to "assemble" a Krabby Patty after a rival (falsely) tells him he forgot the pickles; [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] in that he becomes so confused and nervous that he can't do ANYTHING right. It comes to a point where he tells Mr. Krabs that he cannot do it while saying the steps, then realizing he did just that.

Either this was a directorial goof, or, more likely, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome all that really mattered was that the ingredients were still the same.]][[/note]]

* Buddy Telemachus from ''Literature/{{Spoonbenders}}'' has visions of certain, dramatic events happening that can't be averted, but he ''can'' control the context of the vision and try to avert disaster, but he's so worried that every action/inaction he takes could lead to things spiraling to disaster that it has rendered him a passive observer of his own life. He tries communicating this to Frankie by giving him a book on Chaos theory, [[PoorCommunicationKills but Frankie just thinks he wants it read to him]].

** Also played with in an episode where Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd meet as small children. Elmer runs off a cliff, and Bugs tries to make him fall by pointing out that gravity should pull him down. It doesn't work, because Elmer is just a little kid and hasn't learned what gravity is yet. Bugs is later kind enough to provide him with a definition.
