(230 posts)I was afraid to admit it because she is such a comic icon. When I was a little kid I couldn't understand why she acted so stupidly and like a baby.

(5,358 posts)of ol' Horatio in one of the funniest episodes of SPN called Changing Channels.
The removal of the sunglasses, the look, the head angle, the stupid murder pun... it was perfect every time they did it.

(They keep popping into different TV shows and have to act the part correctly in order to pass through this trap set by a Trickster.)

La Coliniere
(1,317 posts)As a child I lived within walking distance to 3 movie theaters and saw just about everything. I knew The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, The Shakiest Gun in the West, and The Incredible Mr. Limpet were going to suck even before I saw them. God he was an annoying actor. Heard he was a putz in his personal life.

3catwoman3
(26,331 posts)...I detested the way that character had to act stupid and be manipulative/sneaky in order to get what she wanted.
Add any other female character where the woman had to play dumb or was actually written to be not very bright.
Add Don Knott's portrayal of Barney Fife to my list, and Gomer and Goober. And pretty much anything played by Jerry Lewis.
It often seemed to me that Jerry Lewis was mocking people with physical and intellectual disabilities when he would don his oversized glasses and fake misaligned teeth.

(51,983 posts)Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch is pretty much the archetype for this character. Star Trek: The Next Generation's Wesley Crusher is another example, but he was there from the beginning of the series...yeah, like you're going to let a teenager drive a starship.
