* Mr. Ping in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' would in most senses be only TheDitz -- as WordOfGod puts it, "he's got a tiny little head, and there's nothing in it except noodles. And love for Po." However, not only is his knowledge of noodles and cooking in general something he is obviously very skilled at, since he teaches Po everything he knows and the Furious Five (almost) unanimously declare the panda's cooking sensational, but the end credits reveal he has another hidden talent: to judge by Shifu's horrified expression, Mr. Ping is apparently a stellar player of TabletopGame/{{Mahjong}}.

** Schlock himself has claimed that sixteen is a number he can just about count to and generally behaves like a PsychopathicManchild with no self-control or fire discipline, but he ''is'' a [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-12-04 very talented soldier]], at least when he's not eating people or firing wildly, adept at coming up with an IndyPloy [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-07-29 when the situation]] [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-08-30 calls for it]] (turning a potential problem into a solution with one minute's actual thought, a fistful of cash, and a couple of amorph biology quirks), and has reached status as [[https://www.schlockmercenary.com/2013-03-17 the second highest ranking NCO in the company]].

He is also considered something of a savant when it comes to organic chemistry, even by the standards of a species that can do it instinctively; at one point he figures out how to secrete a chemical that sedates Uuplechans on contact, and [[spoiler:his dark matter form in the final arc is able to develop interactions for dark matter particles that the Pa'anuri never even realised were possible]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'':
** Barbie, aside from being more of an ActionGirl than you might expect, seems to have a bit of a knack for political science when the heroes confront the BigBad.

* In ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', Mira's case of Character Development is more about intelligence, rather than [[GrewASpine resolve]]. While she still has a {{ditz}}y aura around her, she has genuinely getting more knowledgeable in astronomy, eventually to Yuu's utter surprise after monologuing for several in-universe minutes on [[GoalInLife asteroid discovery]].

Added DiffLines:

* Ortho of ''WebVideo/DrGlaucomflecken'' is normally portrayed as DumbMuscle, completely unable to use a computer, write a prescription, or properly admit a patient to the hospital. He also knows everything there is to know about bones, and is a skilled surgeon as long as he's fixing bones.
