9* ''WebVideo/BerserkAbridged'': Guts. One of his moments is thinking that menstruation is a myth, along with women stealing men's bodily fluids to create leprechauns. He also thought that the Hawks were literally going to impregnate a castle.
10* ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'': Grog is a Goliath Barbarian who believes that he himself is the smartest member on the team, even though in Episode 4 he thinks putting a pot on his head will stop the episode's monsters from mind controlling him.
11-->'''Grog:''' I have an Intelligence of 6, I know what I'm doing!
12* ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'':
13** Jemimah is an aspiring judoka and one of the strongest members of the cast. What she has in brawn, she lacks in brain, mostly bumbling her way through classes and possessing a ditzy mindest that baffles her peers.
14** Carlie inherited her love of wrestling from her parents, and has the muscle to back up her fangirlism. She's also incredibly dumb, enough so that she's had to retake a year of high school.
15* ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'': Captain Hammer has super strength, but fundamental deficits in the intelligence department. In a comic adaptation, Dr. Horrible devises a serum from his DNA to grant himself Captain Hammer's powers and ends up almost dumber.
16* ''WebVideo/EverymanHYBRID'': Evan is noted as the most technologically dumb of the group and he even seems momentarily confused by the concept of a keycard as a method of opening an electronic lock. He shies away from technology to the point where Vince describes him as an "RL-troll" because he's got a {{troll}} mentality (although he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at worst) but only checks the Internet once or twice a month. It's considered a big deal when he gets a laptop. He's also a martial artist, he carries a giant bayonet around everywhere, and he even [[spoiler: went after Slender Man with a baseball bat.]]
17* ''WebVideo/MyDadsTapes'': Uncle Don describes his son as having the physical prowess but not much in the way of brains, contrasting Chris's puzzle-solving abilities.
18* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'': Caboose seems to get dumber as time goes on, but he's blessed with seemingly superhuman strength, as evidenced when he effortlessly lifts Andy the Bomb. As Tucker says: "We think it's God's way of compensating." In ''Recreation'', Sarge comments on Caboose's strength when he effortlessly flips a warthog.
19* ''Website/{{Serina}}'': Savage gravediggers are the largest and strongest of the three gravedigger species of the Late Ocean Age. However, unlike their sapient relatives, they are only about as smart as a chimp [[FormerlySapientSpecies due to losing the higher intelligence of their tundra gravedigger ancestors]].
20* ''Website/SomethingAwful'': In the "WTF, ''D&D''" column, occasionally they run an actual ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' module. In one of them, "Journey to the Rock", Steve "Malak" Sumner played Dean Snakehands, a level 4 elf with stats specifically meant to suggest the barbarian class he wasn't allowed to pick because this was Basic. Raised by frost wolves in the frozen tundra of the north, Dean Snakehands is "a muscley, savage, brutarded elf" with a meager intelligence score of 6. Dean does everything wrong because he's an idiot, but kills giant rock monsters who greatly outnumber him because he's a freaking beast. Despite playing the character for comedy, Malak was applauded for a fairly realistic depiction of an unsupervised slow-witted behemoth.
21%%* ''Literature/ThaliasMusings'': [[WarGod Ares]] is usually paired with LoveGoddess Aphrodite, but also with BrainyBrunette Calliope.%%And?
22* ''WebAnimation/WaterHuman'': Bogdan speaks mostly in single words, and even is lauded when he manages to compose a sentence for the first time.
23%%* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': The giant super-strong regenerating monster Killbot (who isn't a 'bot, even if his skin is partly metallic).
