Compare with TheDitz and TheFool when dealing with stupidity on an individual level, and MedievalMorons when a {{time travel}}er has to deal with human stupidity, rather than aliens. Also compare WorldOfDumbass, where ''all the characters'' are stupid in general: for instance, this trope would only be applicable to a WorldOfFunnyAnimals if LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy is in play ''and'' the humans there are dumb as a brick even by the setting's ''exceptionally low'' standards. Contrast: HumanityIsSuperior, HumansAreLeaders.

** This is demonstrably incorrect in the Star Wars universe, however. Han Solo is shown to understand at least three alien languages (Wookiee, Rodian and Huttese) despite being (apparently) physically incapable of speaking it himself. Luke understands the electronic language spoken by [=R2D2=] and just like his Uncle Owen, he could understand the Jawas. Given that the former is a career criminal and the latter was raised on a backwater farm far from what passes for civilization on a backwater planet-- neither being lifestyles conducive to much education-- it can be inferred that polyglotism is fairly common among humans in the Star Wars universe. The EU novels largely bear this out. The characters above are simply anti-human bigots - however, it ''is'' true that humans often ''don't'' speak other languages even if they may be physically capable of it.
