5	* ''Website/{{Cracked}}'s'' [[http://www.cracked.com/article/185_6-movie-plots-made-possible-by-bafflingly-bad-decisions/ 6 Movie Plots Made Possible by Bafflingly Bad Decisions]].
6	** Then again, [[http://www.cracked.com/article_18791_if-movie-characters-didnt-make-horrible-decisions.html If Movie Characters Didn't Make Horrible Decisions]] [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools movies would be much less fun]].
7	* ''Literature/TheCrawlspace'': One has to wonder why the narrator didn't show her roommates [[spoiler:the picture she took of the creature]] to prove her story? Then again, considering their GenreBlindness throughout the story, they may just have dismissed it as a trick of the light or the narrator trying to mess with them, but you would've thought she'd have at least tried? It sticks out because the narrator is actually pretty smart throughout the story.
8	* [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] often on ''PodCast/GilmoreBallZ'', referred to by Grant as pooping in the jello for some reason.
9	* The ''LetsPlay/HoboBros'' claim that they're getting worse the more they play ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', and cite this as the reason why.
10	-->'''Kevin:''' Have you noticed that we're actually getting ''worse'' as the game goes on?\
11	'''Luke:''' Yeah, I know! We were so good doing that lava level, and now I'm sad.\
12	'''Kevin:''' [[SelfDeprecation It's because of me, my retard-ness is washing off on you]]. This is what happens when you spend too much time with Mario, this shit happens!
13	* ''WebVideo/LimitedLifeSMP'': The first half of Day 5 features Pearl making many impulsive decisions, such as stealing the Mean Gills faction's enchantment table, refusing to give it back when Scott tries to blackmail her and Big B, her teammate, over the location of Judge Judy And Executioner the frog (which they kidnapped the previous episode), and spleefing the frog into a ravine while thinking it would survive. After the mid-session break, she acknowledges that [[LampshadeHanging she had no idea why she did all that]], and her episode for the session is fittingly titled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZkkVSU6ksI "No Braincells"]].
14	* Mario almost always carries this in ''Webcomic/TheMostStupidDeathsInSuperMario64''.
15	* In ''Roleplay/{{Netland}}'' VII, when [[CloudCuckooLander Taricus]] decides to attack the Sarin canister, thereby killing everyone except Tyberix (who has a built-in rebreather).
16	* Repeatedly {{defied\|Trope}} in the RealTrailerFakeMovie for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEbwhWDYwM Hell No: The Sensible Horror Movie]]''.
17	-->'''Person A:''' Hey, look what I got! It's that video tape that [[Film/TheRing if you watch it, you die in five days]]!\
18	'''Person B:''' Really? Let me see that.\
19	''(B breaks the tape over his leg, and then proceeds to go outside and smash the remains of the tape with a baseball bat)''
20	* v4 of ''Roleplay/OpenBlue'''s BackStory has King Armando of Avelia betting his country's ''second largest'' colony ''in a swordfight'' with ''the [[MasterSwordsman greatest swordsman]]'' in the Old World. Naturally, he lost. For a skilled diplomat and peacemaker, TemptingFate like that wasn't exactly a pretty smart thing to do.
21	* ''WebVideo/PlayStationAccess'': Brought this up in videos like "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js3JTYlKGFA 7 Things Characters In Horror Games Seriously Need To Stop Doing]]".
22	* ''WebVideo/UnwantedHouseguest'': In the comic Dr. Tigani [[spoiler: is killed when Melody and the Houseguest are unable to turn off his X-Ray machine...which was on a pivot that they could have turned at any time.]]
23	* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' example: during the "combat finals" at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]], Buster (super-strong brick who gets stronger and tougher the more you hit him) drew Aquerna, one of the school losers. He lost by chasing her all over the place until she found a spot where she had the advantage. LampshadeHanging by the instructors, who pointed out that he was so much stronger than she was, all he had to do was go to the 'win spot' and type in his answers, and she wouldn't have been able to do a thing to stop him.
24	* ''Roleplay/YouHaveBecomeYourAvatar'': Storm attempts to calm down Heartless Sora Brahian... by singing Kumbaya. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Heartless Sora Brahian dislikes singing, so he made him more angry.
