* ''Fanfic/Class78WatchesTheFuture'': A pretty good way to define the class' reaction to about 90% of Hiro's Free Time Events, and other moments that highlight [[InsaneTrollLogic his thought]] [[ConspiracyTheorist process]]. Some highlights include his "explanation" of his clairvoyant abilities and sales pitch for a recording that's supposed to aid the listener in enlightenment ([[AwesomenessbyAnalysis Junko]] was left massaging her forehead going "Ow. Ow, my brain." at the sheer stupidity involved), the recounting of his "close encounter with aliens" (Which led Leon to ask him point blank whether he was on drugs), his theory that the culprit of Case 3 would be either [[KilledOffForReal Chihiro]] or Alter Ego (Mondo actually had to be physically restrained from beating Hiro to a pulp), and his revelation that he was [[TooDumbToLive conned into paying a million dollars for a glass ball]] (''Byakuya'' lost his temper at that, and Celeste mused that she was right to classify Hiro as D-Rank). Of course, there's also the way everyone reacted when they learned Hiro was willing to ask Makoto to sell his organs to pay off his debt, rather than dip into his retirement fund, but ''that's'' a different trope.

* Masayuki Hori from ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun'' is regularly driven to acts of [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender comedically over the top violence]] by Yuu Kashima's insistence on skipping club practice, irresponsibility, and completely askew sense of pattern recognition. Noteworthy because he absolutely worships Kashima whenever she ''isn't'' being an idiot in his presence (which in practice is only when she isn't in his presence at all.)

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'': Magnus, being the InsufferableGenius he is, finds it hard to tolerate both more simple-minded Kitten (who isn't even dumb; just not Primarch-tier) and letters from the Imperial citizens (who ''are'' rather unfortunately slow and absurdly ignorant). The former makes him break into lectures and generally snap at him constantly, the other has him fly into rages. Notably, this also applies to ''events'' that he finds are stupid, such as when he thought [[spoiler:it really was reuniting Vulkan's artifacts that brought [[KingInTheMountain the man himself]] back]], meaning a prophecy that had no reason to work was true after all:
-->'''Magnus:''' That! Makes! No! SENSE! ''WHY WOULD THAT WORK!?'' THAT CAN'T BE IT, THAT'S '''STUPID!'''

* ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'': ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'' tells the story of the [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Emperor of Mankind]], a KingInTheMountain who spends his time CatchingUpOnHistory. He soon learns that humanity, in the 10,000 years he's been gone, weren't exactly too sharp. This causes him to be anywhere from awfully grumpy to completely outraged about the things he learned about his Imperium's current state.

* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainSeekerOfCrocus'': Paul London's thoughts on [[TeensAreMonster Grace Monroe and Simon Laurent]] (the leaders of the denizen-killing cult, the Apex) are that they just ''don't get the hint'' that they are being assholes who don't give a damn about what they're doing and that the numbers on their arms are worthless except to indicate that they'll have a harder time going home. It doesn't help that Miss Grace "I'm the expert on the Train" Monroe can't accept the hint that she has to change. London makes his annoyance known by beating them within an inch of their lives while they are helpless against a near 40-year-old wrestler that has telekinesis.

* Vegeta, Piccolo and Freeza of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', usually thanks to Goku or Nappa. The page quote is the best example in the series to date.
** Vegeta had a hard enough time in the anime/manga version, but Nappa and Goku are even stupider here and much to his displeasure they are incredibly hard to kill and tend to come back. His pride prevents him from admitting his own stupidity enrages him as well.
** Freeza thinks he's found a worthy opponent in Goku, and he has... physically. But prolonged exposure to Goku's unique personality slowly drives him to greater and greater rage and sanity slippage. It's incredibly satisfying for the audience watching his cold, taunting demeanor dissolve into childish insults and tantrums.
** Piccolo deals with it the best, though he still flips out over his student being unable to dodge anything. Goku and Vegeta ''do'' make him angry, though he deals with their stupidity through sarcasm and insults later in the series.
