* ''Film/NemesisGame'': Dennis, the customer in Vern's comic book shop, appears to be TheStoner and seems to be completely blown away by Vern's koan style riddles. He responds by coming up with an embarrassingly childish riddle of his own ("What's a ghost's favourite colour? Boo.") and then trying (and failing) to explain why it is actually deep. However, he is later revealed to be a player of the game himself, and as skilled at riddles as Sara and Vern.

* Bruce Wayne in ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy''. He pretends that he is [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob a vain, stupid, frivolous and superficial playboy millionaire]] in public, all to make people never suspect of him being Franchise/{{Batman}}. For example, in ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', Joker causes chaos by threatening to blow a hospital unless the people kill a man who claims to know Batman's identity. When someone tries to ram the police vehicle carrying the man, Bruce pulls a vehicular TakingTheBullet. Afterwards he acts like it was an accident, but still shoots a knowing glance towards the man whose life he saved.

* James Kirk in ''Film/StarTrek2009'' practically turns this into an art form, frequently acting like a [[HandsomeLech womanizing idiot]] or [[TheFool playing the fool]] throughout parts of the film. However, it quickly becomes clear that he's not nearly as stupid as he leads people to believe, effectively beating the supposedly unbeatable [[UnwinnableTrainingSimulation Kobayashi Maru]] through rather ingenious means and then [[spoiler: stopping Nero's [[RoaringRampageofRevenge rampage of revenge against the Federation]]]]. Prior to joining Starfleet, it's even stated by Pike that Jim's the only "genius-level repeat offender in the Midwest."
