The Ditz is a character whose defining characteristic is profound stupidity. Female ditzes tend to be sweet and naive, male ditzes tend to be oafish but lovable. TheDitz is written to appear unintentionally funny. In drama series, he or she provides comic relief.

The person is not a true Ditz unless you are left wondering how someone this stupid could possibly hope to function in modern society. The other characters can also share this view (see WhoWouldBeStupidEnough). Unlike TheFool, TheDitz is seldom in any real danger, and luck probably couldn't save him if he or she ever were.

As Wash on ''{{Firefly}}'' once asked of Jayne (who had ditzy moments but was more of a [[DumbMuscle big dumb tough guy]]), "How did your brain master human speech? I'm just so curious."

A good looking Ditz (of either sex) might be TheBrainlessBeauty. An independently wealthy Ditz is an UpperClassTwit. An exceptionally clumsy Ditz is a {{Dojikko}}.

A more competent Ditz will often become TheFool. A Ditz who is too moronically optimistic to notice their own hardship is classified as the {{Pollyanna}}. Taken to its extreme, the Ditz can devolve into a CloudCuckoolander or a RalphWiggum.

One reason you can find TheDitz on so many TV shows is that it gives the audience someone to feel superior to. No matter how stupid you might be, you are smarter than TheDitz.

!!Examples

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Anime ]]

* In the image above we have Millefeuille Sakuraba, from ''{{Galaxy Angel}}'' -- the perfect example of TheDitz if there ever was one.
* Orihime from ''{{Bleach}}'' is the nerdy version of this trope. While she's brilliant at schoolwork, she regularly gets hit by cars, doesn't catch on to basic social cues, says weird and random things, and once wandered into a gang of Soul Reapers who were searching for her and her friends.
* Floe from ''{{Simoun}}''.
* Mihoshi, in the various ''TenchiMuyo'' television series ([[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] from a {{Bunny Ears Lawyer}}/{{Genius Ditz}} in the {{OVA}}s).
* The title character (and arguably most of the cast) of ''ExcelSaga''.
* Kousaka from ''{{Genshiken}}'' isn't ''quite'' as dimwitted as some; his ditz qualifications comes mostly from his utter lack of a filter between his thoughts and his mouth.
* Brutally [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''{{Elfen Lied}}''. Director Kurama's ditzy secretary, Kisaragi, is decapitated by Lucy in the first 10 minutes of the show. She's literally TooDumbToLive.
**This isn't made better in the German dub, where one of her colleagues tells her "[[FunnyAneurysmMoment Just don't lose your head]]." moments before.
* Joshua Lundgren in ''GunXSword'' straddles the line between ditz and {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. He once looked for Wendy by heading into every women's restroom in a train station, not understanding why the women were screaming until he got arrested for it.
* Kujyou Himeka from ''KamichamaKarin''.
* Yayoi of ''KoiKoi7'' (the pink-haired one, not the one with the eyepatch.) When standing in the middle of a heated battle with [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy the shots missing her]], her only response is "Fireworks!"
* Mahiro Muto from ''BusouRenkin'', after spending time early on as a distressed damsel.
* Isaac and Miria the BonnieAndClyde pair from ''{{Baccano}}!''.
* The characters of ''CromartieHighSchool'' tend to pass the IdiotBall around quite a bit, but Hayashida is particularly stupid. TheOtherWiki describes him as "dumber than a gorilla"--which, considering a gorilla is actually part of the cast, is ''proven true'' in the show.
** In his defense, the gorilla is pretty much the smartest member of the class. Yeah. It's that kind of series.
* Himeko from ''PaniPoniDash''. She's so dumb, she faints upon SEEING English letters, since her brain can't take it.
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_futhorc These]]? I think you mean Latin letters.
* Gourry Gabriev in ''TheSlayers''.
* Minori from ''{{Toradora}}'', described by one erudite forum member as "a 1-inch deep ball of happy idiot".
** Minori is much, much intelligent than she appears. She's quite possibly the wisest character in the entire anime.
* [[MoeAnthropomorphism Italy]] from ''AxisPowersHetalia''; the name of the series is even a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "hopeless" and "Italy". America is more of the 'lovable oaf' kind.
* Touta Matsuda from ''DeathNote''. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Most of the time, anyway]].
** Misa Misa. She shows some instances of cleverness throughout the show, but whenever she gives up the Death Note, she loses at least 50 IQ points.
*** Is Misa a ditz? I always thought that the point behind Misa was that she was far cleverer than she made herself out to be. Also, her greatest intelligent contribution to the series- effectively capturing Higuchi- was when she'd lost her memory of the Death Note. Although, yes, she did know of it.
*** Misa is depicted as more than moderately intelligent, but liable to making decisions based on emotion rather than logic. [[UnfortunateImplications Unfortunately, this is something that all the female characters in the series suffer from, to one extent or another.]]
*** Sidoh, the Shinigami, is a particularly sweet example.
* Rino Rando from ''[[GokujouSeitokai Best Student Council]]''. Most of the smarts seem to have been given to her snarky hand puppet Pucchan.
* And while we're on the subject of ditzy high school heroines, Tenma Tsukamoto from ''SchoolRumble''. When you're the lead character of a LoveDodecahedron series, [[LoveMakesYouDumb it just sorta comes naturally.]]
* Usagi "Dumpling Head" Tsukino from ''SailorMoon''.
* Patty from ''SoulEater'', who yanks this trope UpToEleven and to extreme lengths beyond. Her usual reaction to '''EVERYTHING''' is to laugh hysterically, slap people and rush straight into very obvious traps. If there are people that consider her anything less than the very literal personification of this trope, then there is something fundamentally wrong with the universe and its population. It's that bad.
* Lizlet, A.K.A. the Teacup Maid, of ''OmamoriHimari''.
* Ash from Pokemon, at least intially. He was just plain stupid: Ash: "Hey, that Mankey just stole my hat! *Screams and climbs up a tree after it, while the others just stare at him*" He's gotten a lot better since then.
** So Team Rocket seems to have become cursed to this position ever since.
* Kanako from ''MariaHolic'' is marvelously dumb. She flunked nearly all her exams and, when given notes that "even an idiot could understand" by Sachi, she fails to comprehend even that. She's so single-minded in her pursuit of finding [[SchoolgirlLesbians girl-love]] that she's dim in just about everything else.
** Including the fact that liking girls makes her a lesbian.
* [[IdiotHero Luffy]] from ''OnePiece'' easily falls into this trope. From recognizing mixed animals by their least dominant feature to chalking up anything beyond his comprehension (ie most everything!) as "mystery" things, Luffy is easily the most gullible and air-headed Shounen heroes.
* An extremely ditzy [[TerroristsWithoutACause Re-Coder]] shows up in [[CodeBreaker Code: Breaker]]. When asked how many people she killed, she says "One, two, three... Ten, I guess, because I have ''ten fingers!'' But I'm not in a counting mood, so now [[AxeCrazy I'll kill you painfully!]]" Notably, she never lapses into a SlasherSmile but remains cheerful and perky throughout.
* Lala of ToLoveRu usually acts like this.
* MahouSenseiNegima has GenkiGirl Makie filling this position. Konoka can also act ditzy, but it's [[ObfuscatingStupidity almost certainly an act.]]
* Joshua in ''ChronoCrusade'' after he is brainwashed.
** Actually, so is Rosette in the beginning.
* Nai is a boy version of this from ''{{Karneval}},'' [[spoiler:although he's really a cute little animal.]] Yogi is more of the "lovable oaf" kind when he's not being serious, which is often.
* The main lead of AngelDensetsu has his moments (it's more a combination of NiceGuy, TheKlutz and SelectiveObliviousness actually), but then we have the most fearsome and brutal of the Shadowy seven: Hishida Haruka! Yep, she's TheDitz, and TheKlutz, and almost a {{Pollyanna}} ... she's also the living embodiement of SchrodingerFu, and she's not ''even aware'' of all the destruction she's spreading around.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Comic Books ]]

* Dumb Bunny from the Inferior Five ('60s humor comic from [[TheDCU DC]]), whose name pretty much says it all, really. She's "stronger than an ox - and almost as smart!"
* [[strike:Boom-Boom Meltdown]] Tabitha Smith of ''NextWave'': trailer-trash klepto with the power to make things go boom. She says "[[LeetLingo zomg]]" out loud and misspells ''her own name.''
-->"I ''hate'' cops! Because, like, cops keep ''arresting'' me and stuff? For ''stealing?'' Like stealing's a ''crime'' or something?
** [[spoiler: Forbush Man]]'s mental powers do not work on her. Guess why. Her explanation? "I gave him the explodo because I am clever."
** The Parademon from the ''Villains United'' miniseries. He even fully admits to wanting to die in a stupid gesture.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* Not quite unheard of; remember Dan Quayle? Aside from the misspelling of "potato", some of his quotes from TheOtherWiki are definitely in territory.
** Something of an occupational hazard of the vice-presidency it would seem, judging from http://joebidensaidthat.com/
*Let's not forget George W. Bush and his entire presidency, especially when he pronounced NUCLEAR

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* Tom Hanks plays the Ditz extremely well. A fine example is the main character in ''ForrestGump''.
**Forrest Gump is really more of TheFool.
* Gracie Allen's AlterEgoActing personality.
* Babs from the Nick Park movie ''ChickenRun''.
** Jane Horrocks is not unfamiliar with this kind of role. Bubble from AbsolutelyFabulous, anyone?
* Cher Horowitz in ''{{Clueless}}''... kind of. She's certainly no genius level intellect, and is definitely more than a little naive and '[[TitleDrop clueless]]', but she's savvy enough when she needs to be and has enough wits about her to 'negotiate' her grades with most of her teachers.
* MrBean in ''Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie'' and ''Mr Bean's Holiday''. Also JohnnyEnglish to some extent.
* Virtually every character played by famed comedian Lou Costello of the Abbot and Costello comedy duo is a textbook example of this trope. Occasionally he will even lampshade HIMSELF such as when one of his characters in the film "Who Dunnit" turns on a radio and hears "Who's on First?" (one of Abbot and Costello's most famous routines) and immediately turns it off, remarking how stupid the "short, chubby guy" (actually Costello himself) is.
* ''{{Bullshot}}''. Rosemary Fenton, DamselInDistress and daughter of an AbsentMindedProfessor with a dangerous habit of [[EducationThroughPyrotechnics knocking over equipment]] in Daddy's lab.
-->'''Bullshot''': "I see. You intend taking on the Most Dangerous Man in Europe by yourself do you? Have you given a moment's thought as to what you intend using for brains?"
-->'''Rosemary''': "How dare you! I've done pretty well without brains so far!"

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Literature ]]

* Lydia, Kitty, and Mrs. Bennett in ''PrideAndPrejudice'', making this OlderThanRadio.
* At the SuperHeroSchool Whateley Academy in the WhateleyUniverse, one example is the minor character Bubble. Someone comments to herself, "She has a bubble all right. Between her ears." Another good example is the egocentric, villainous Solange, who isn't smart enough to be an ''effective'' villain. She uses her powers to absorb an ethereal protagonist and steal said character's powers; she gets run through the HumiliationConga for her efforts.
* Raziel from ''LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff''. The titular protagonist theorizes that he's the origin of dumb blonde jokes.
* [[strike:Some might say that]] Bella Swan of ''{{Twilight}}'' takes this trope to unearthly levels...
* Volatilus, the sweet but not too bright little dispatch dragon from the {{Temeraire}} books.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Live Action TV ]]

* Mrs. Eunice "Lovey" Wentworth Howell, from ''GilligansIsland''.
** Maybe Gilligan, too, for that matter.
* Vera from ''Alice''.
* Bull Shannon, from ''NightCourt''.
* Matthew Brock, from ''NewsRadio''.
* Lowell from ''{{Wings}}''
* Phoebe and Joey from ''{{Friends}}'' ([[{{Flanderization}} by the end]], at least).
** Joey's ditziness especially shines through in the subject of [[GlobalIgnorance geography]] - at various points in the series he has thought that the Netherlands was where Peter Pan lives, described Chandler's "going to Yemen" ruse for getting rid of Janice as clever because "it almost sounds like a real place", and gone to the bank to try changing dollars into "Vermont money".
* Ted and Georgette from ''[[MaryTylerMoore The Mary Tyler Moore Show]]''.
* Monroe from ''Too Close For Comfort''.
* J.D. from ''{{Scrubs}}'' is an interesting case. Despite being a talented and well educated doctor, he delves into extreme ditz-hood when dealing with certain subjects, including sports (he thinks basketballs come "three to a can" and that Arnold Palmer is famous only for inventing a drink), politics (does not know the difference between a senator and a congressman, and knows Dick Cheney only as "the bald assistant president who has all the heart attacks") and geography (mistakes Austria for Australia and New England for New Zealand).
** There's a couple of issues of YoungJustice, set in 'Australia', where the artist apparently made the same mistake (there ain't no mountains like that in Sydney, bub!). And TheSimpsons [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] it.
* Lucy Moran and Deputy Andy Brennan from ''TwinPeaks''.
* [[http://www.tv.com/debralee-scott/person/17269/summary.html Debralee Scott]], in any of her GameShow appearances of the 1970s and early 1980s.
* Dougal from ''FatherTed'' (in the UK, a [[http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/channel4/ch4/idents/ch41997dougal.rm Channel4ID]] had him forgetting what channel he was promoting).
* Alice from ''TheVicarOfDibley''.
* Kelso, from ''{{That 70s Show}}''.
* Rose, from ''TheGoldenGirls''.
** A beautiful DoubleSubversion of this trope occurred in the pilot of ''Golden Palace'', a short-lived and otherwise unremarkable spinoff of ''TheGoldenGirls''. Rose, confronted by a robber at the front desk of the hotel the girls are running, is too ditzy to even realize that she's being robbed. The robber eventually leaves, with nothing, in frustration. The trope is subverted as Rose immediately calls the police, providing a detailed description of the robber, where he's headed, what kind of car he's driving, etc., ending with "Who is this? Oh, just someone who's not quite as dumb as she appears," much to the delight of the audience. The subversion itself is then subverted as we hear Rose's next line into the phone: "Oh, this is ''four'' one one?"
* Bridget Hennesey, from ''EightSimpleRules''.
* Christmas Noelle "Chrissy" Snow (Suzanne Somers' archetypal role) from ''ThreesCompany''.
* Kelly Bundy of ''MarriedWithChildren'' was eventually [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]] into [[TheBrainlessBeauty a brainless trollop]] who hadn't enough mental capacity to remember her homework and the members of her own family at the same time.
** Her analogue on the horrid ''MWC'' knockoff ''Unhappily Ever After'', Tiffany Malloy, was a subversion, being a [[TheSmartGuy genius]] and a DeadpanSnarker, besides looking hot. [[CelibateHero A virgin]] to boot. At least one time, she gained an intellectual rival who was blonde, hotter, and spoke in a baby-doll voice.
* Maria from {{WWE}} is a good example of a ditz, though this was subverted in the "Trial of Eric Bischoff" episode of ''WWE Raw'', by Maria making a particularly more-intelligent-than-usual speech about Bischoff's failings as a general manager. In a later appearance, Bischoff accused Maria of pretending to be "stupid and sweet" in order to win the fans' favor, which, if true, would make this an example of ObfuscatingStupidity.
* That [[TokenMinority token black kid]] on ''Hip Hop Harry'', affectionately nicknamed "Stupid Scott" by Joel [=McHale=] of ''TheSoup''. Despite being roughly around the age of 12, he expresses the cognitive skills of a 6-year-old and has to have explained to him (by the [[PositiveDiscrimination smarter Asian girl]]) things like how to fill up a bathtub or why its not a good idea to feed ice cream and hot dogs to a pet gerbil. The program goes out of its way to make viewer wonder how on earth he manages to cross streets on the way home.
* Susan Meyer from ''DesperateHousewives'' started out as the Ditz, but it was largely limited to being a [[LethalChef horrible cook]] and having a tendency to trip over things. This has since been Flanderized to the point where she occasionally just seems mentally disabled, such as her being so desperate to get the new neighbors to like her that she kidnapped their dog planning to heroically "find" it later. It...didn't work out very well.
* Dean Winchester, from ''{{Supernatural}}'', is like this for pretty much anything that doesn't relate to hunting, his family or his car. Most of the time it's adorable but sometimes he can come off as an annoying [[TheBrainlessBeauty brainless beauty]].
* MrBean, although sometimes he can be quite bright.
* Edmund Blackadder in the first season of ''BlackAdder'', but in series 2 he became the DeadpanSnarker he is known as in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th seasons. Baldrick also fits this to some extent as well as being well... The trope namer for TheBaldrick.
* Hank in ''CornerGas'' is TheDitz, sometimes straying towards RalphWiggum.
* Waldo Geraldo Faldo, Eddie Winslow's friend from ''FamilyMatters''.
* Two Words: [[BigWolfOnCampus Tommy Dawkins]]
* Pepper in ''DeadSet''.
* Neil in ''TheInbetweeners''. It sort of works to his advantage because it stops him from realizing just how wrong everything keeps going for him.
* Peter Tork's character in TheMonkees. Also TheFool.
* Gretel from ''{{Knightmare}}''
* London Tipton from {{The Suite Life of Zack and Cody}}. She may be one of the most idiotic girls on TV. Hilariously so, but still.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Music ]]

* 2D of {{Gorillaz}}.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Games ]]

* A very common character in NipponIchi VideoGames: Examples include Flonne and '''[[TheGoodCaptain Captain Gordon]], [[LargeHam Defender of Earth!]]''' in ''{{Disgaea}}'', Trenia in ''MakaiKingdom'', Taro in ''Disgaea 2'', and Danette and Levin in ''SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters''. Most of them are used as a {{foil}} for the resident DeadpanSnarker.
** Danette and Levin may suffer from an unfortunate Racial Hat, but Levin acknowledges Danette as the Ditz, and Danette acknowledges herself as the ditz!
*** Though thankfully, [[spoiler:Levin turns out to be [[ObfuscatingStupidity a lot smarter than he lets on]], so you don't have to suffer his supposed "idiocy" forever.]]
* Arcueid, she of ''{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''MeltyBlood'' fame, comes off quite ditzy, being a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld centuries-old]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire princess]] not used to the societal norms of the human world. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Watch out]], because she ''can'' kill you before you can blink, even ''before'' her SuperpoweredEvilSide kicks in.
*Cirno in ''{{Touhou}}''. In particular, the manual for ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'' has a screenshot with numbers pointing out items of note (i.e. 1. Player Character, 2. Score, etc.); Cirno was labelled 9. {{Baka}}.
** Since then Cirno has been nicknamed "Nine-ball" or simply "⑨".
**{{Fanon}} has turned Cirno's ditziness [[IncrediblyLamePun to 11]].
* Lucia in ''ShadowHearts Covenant'' is described by her own teacher Carla as "slow".
* Both Lloyd and Colette of ''TalesOfSymphonia'' both qualify quite well for the title of TheDitz. A great example is a skit conversation between the two and Regal when Colette asks how Lloyd memorized every single Dwarven Vow (of which there are at least 108).
-->'''Lloyd''': Since I was a child, I memorized one before each meal and was tested on it. And if I couldn't say it, I didn't get to eat.
-->'''Colette''': Oh, I see.... There must have been Dwarven Vow memory ingredients in the food.
-->'''Lloyd''': Huh? R...really?
-->'''Colette''': I wonder if I can memorize all the Dwarven Vows if I eat Dirk's cooking.
-->'''Regal''': No, Colette, that's not it. Lloyd's desire for food temporarily strengthened his memory.
-->'''Colette''': Oh... So Dirk's food has powers like an Exsphere to increase people's abilities.
-->'''Lloyd''': I see!
-->'''Regal''': ...Why does the topic of conversation go out the window when talking to Colette?
**Taken to further extremes in [[OddlyNamedSequel Dawn of the New World]]:
--->'''Tenebrae''': Am I really that much of a stick in the mud?
--->'''Emil''': I can't believe he's still thinking about that.
--->'''Colette''': I honestly don't see any mud on you. But what's wrong with getting mud on you anyway? Everyone gets a little dirty now and again.
--->'''Marta''': I don't think he meant that sort of mud.
--->'''Colette''': Well then, what sort of mud did he mean?
--->'''Emil''': No, listen. There was never any mud to begin with.
--->'''Colette''': Oh! So was it more of a muck? Or maybe a slime?
--->'''Tenebrae''': So now I'm slimy?
--->'''Colette''': I have to say, I prefer mud to slime myself. It's easier to clean.
--->'''Tenebrae''': Well, it would depend on where the slime came from.
--->'''Emil''': Yeah, but think about your fur. Slime would stick to it, while mud would just wash off, no problem.
--->'''Marta''': Someone, anyone, please make it stop!
* One of the female cheerleaders in ''OsuTatakaeOuendan'', Aoi Kanda (the pink haired {{Meganekko}}), is completely clumsy when it comes to anything outside cheerleading, whether it's failure to make a meal for sale, failure making a pottery, dropping foods on floor (or not chewing it properly), spacing out on class, [[http://crackedrabbitgaming.com/guides/ouendan-obsession/ and the list goes on, see the bottom of the page]].
* Surprisingly, NOT Goofy from ''KingdomHearts''. Despite him easily qualifying for this in the comics and TV-shorts/shows, he's pretty smart in KH, except for occasionally confusing similar words.
* Several characters in the ''PhoenixWright'' series, such as Maya Fey, Ini Miney, Ema Skye, and Trucy Wright. [[spoiler:Ini's [[ObfuscatingStupidity faking it]], though...[[DeadPersonImpersonation and that's not all]]...]]
* Minori in ''BrassRestoration'' is a perfect example.
* Sarrie from ''[=~Star Ocean:The Last Hope~=]'' is the living, breathing embodiment of this trope. Just how bad is it? [[spoiler: She wakes up on a sacrificial alter, in a room with greenish light...and simply says "Good Morning!" She then remembers that "guests" came in through her window, and she was going to serve them tea...]]
* Aino Heart from ''ArcanaHeart'' is this trope turned up to Eleven. She's a combination of this and LoveFreak.
* Taokaka from ''BlazBlue''. While she's incredibly energetic, she often forgets things that are told to her just seconds after the fact.
* Shion Uzuki from the ''{{Xenosaga}}'' series, in particular the first episode.
* Viki from the {{Suikoden}} series.
* Pete Wheeler from the ''BackyardSports'' series.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Web Animation ]]

* Several characters on the ''HomestarRunner'' site. Homestar himself is the most noticeably ditzy, but there's more than one IdiotBall being passed around among the cast.
* All of the characters in the video podcast ''[[http://tikibartv.com/tikibar_display.php?pver=qh&vid=40 Tiki Bar TV]]'' drift in and out of this. This is largely because the dialog is improvised while the actors are drunk, leading to some bizarre exchanges that drift back and forth between TheFool and CloudCuckoolander, and generally end up falling around TheDitz.
-->Dr. Tiki: I'm a [=PhD=] MD USB for a reason!
*Caboose from the popular web series ''RedVsBlue'' gradually degrades from The Ditz in the first series to being [[RalphWiggum completely retarded]] and [[CloudCuckoolander almost completely disconnected from reality]] (at one point, he loads his gun with crayons and forgets how to spell his name).
** Donut also qualifies and pretty much stays TheDitz the entire time, though ironically he's the only one from either team who ever managed to accomplish their objective (capturing the flag). Sister could also count when she arrives. Both of them share two traits - speaking [[FunWithForeignLanguages terrible]] [[MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels Spanish]], and both of them [[MotorMouth talk way too damn much.]]
* The Red and Blue unicorns from the two ''Charlie the Unicorn'' YouTube videos ''appear'' to be this at first, [[spoiler:but seeing as they tricked him into donating his kidney-- with''out'' consent-- in the first movie, and ended up robbing him in the second, this troper thinks [[ObfuscatingStupidity they're something else entirely]].]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Webcomics ]]

* Raven from ''QuestionableContent''. She has her moments, which makes some people think she's [[ObfuscatingStupidity smarter than she looks]].
* T-Rex in ''DinosaurComics'' is another male example, as well as a giant green dinosaur example. He worries about being racist against taxi drivers, and makes good-natured attempts to use pretty much every school of philosophical thought in recorded history to justify the things he does every day (mainly stomping on people and things).
*Monette started out this way in ''SomethingPositive''. She got better.
* Cube from the StickFigureComic ''StickmanAndCube'' can be a bit ditzy.
* Elan from ''OrderOfTheStick'' is a definitive version...though it was toned down a bit after ''literally'' TookALevelInBadass.
** Crystal, the {{goth}} assassin. Uncommon in so far that she has neither the good attitude nor the good looks most ditzes have. If she wasn't TheRival of Haley Starshine (which lets her gain a level everytime Haley gets one, for the ''DungeonsAndDragons'' rules), she'd probably still be at 0th level.
*** Crystal's little pickle stunt moves her closer to TheRalphWiggum or TooDumbToLive. TheDitz may be stupid, but there's stupid and there's unbelievably retarded.
** The Monster in the Darkness could also qualify.
** Celia is pretty ditzy too.
*** [[GeniusDitz But put her in a courtroom...]]
* Kiki from ''SluggyFreelance'' is a combination [[TheDitz Ditz]]/GenkiGirl cranked up to eleven.
** Sam is this combined with LeisureSuitLarry.
*Kia from FletcherApts.
*Duchess Letita of ''AMagicalRoommate'' is very ditzy, although whether it's due to her stupidity or just her [[CloudCuckooLander strange viewpoint]] is somewhat debatable.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Western Animation ]]

* Ed, from ''EdEddNEddy''.
* Luanne, from ''KingOfTheHill''.
** DependingOnTheWriter, sometimes she's more of a CloudCuckoolander or even a RalphWiggum.
* Officer Barbrady from ''SouthPark''.
* Starfire from ''TeenTitans''. But that's because she's from another planet and she doesn't have much knowledge about the Earth. Although [[{{Tsundere}} she can be pretty mad sometimes]].
* Lor [=McQuarrie=] from ''TheWeekenders''.
* Twister Rodriguez from ''Rocket Power''
* Cosmo from ''{{The Fairly OddParents}}''.
* Patrick Star from ''SpongebobSquarepants''.
* Big Dog and Little Dog from ''2 Stupid Dogs''.
* Subverted in ''RocketPower'' with the story "Twist of Fate", where after being ridiculed for being a fan of a cartoon on safety, Twister ends up using the knowledge he's learned from that show to get his friends out of trouble in the Grand Canyon, showing that (to paraphrase Rose) he's "someone who's not quite as dumb as he appears".
* Gir, from ''InvaderZim,'' is ''amazingly'' ditzy.
**He often heads into CloudCuckooLander territory, depending on the local humidity and/or piggy count.
* The perfect example of a ''male'' [[TheDitz ditz]] is Gonard from ''KappaMikey'', who at one point forgets where his hat is. It's on his head. Also, he takes part in the auditions for a new cast member for ShowWithinAShow "Lily Mu", despite already being a cast member. All this is in the ''pilot'' episode. "Cheerful buffoon" is putting it mildly.
--> '''Gonard''': Dude! Check out my laced gloves! Hey, where'd my shoes go?
* Chris Griffin on ''{{Family Guy}}'' has an intelligence somewhere between that of a sign post and a bag of moldy French fries. [[TheBrainlessBeauty Jillian]], Brian's ex-girlfriend, is another example.
** Peter too, DependingOnTheWriter.
* Madison from ''ClassOf3000''.
* Amy Wong from ''{{Futurama}}'' is a black-haired Ditz - she fails at haggling, confusing it with bidding at auctions, and flirts with all men.
* Bebop and Rocksteady from the 1980s version of ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' fit this trope-- despite being male villains.
* Da-da-da-da-da - InspectorGadget.
* Cal from ''{{Undergrads}}''
* One of Scamp's sisters in ''Lady and the Tramp 2'', Danielle, is an [[TastesLikeDiabetes adorable]],ditzy Cocker Spaniel(Not even a mix,a pure [[GenderEqualsBreed bred]]). However,coincidentally,she is voiced by the same person who voices Phil and Lil from the {{Rugrats}}.
* C2 from ''CarlSquared''. (Of course, he ''is'' only a few months old, and part dog, so some of it is excusable.)
* Cal of ''{{Undergrads}}''.
