There exists a fallacy in which for some reason a "smart" person must appreciate opera, classical music, or pull [[SmartPeoplePlayChess feats of chess mastery]]. So when one pulls a FlowersForAlgernonSyndrome or UpliftedAnimal, suddenly the subject starts to quote Shakespeare, rave about a [[WineIsClassy fine old wine]], or quip about how modern art makes no sense.

* Classic ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'' episode "Grimlock's Brain" saw the titular dinobot's intelligence increased significantly, and with it his understanding of the universe. He stopped speaking in HulkSpeak and was even able to condescendingly lecture resident SmartGuy Perceptor one subjects Perceptor himself was an expert on. Unfortunately, InsufferableGenius and a lack of interest in his old hobbies caused the other dinobots to declare him no fun and refuse to hang out with him. By the end of the episode, Grimlock sacrifices his intelligence to power up Combiner Computron's brain to save his friends, returning to the lovable oaf he was before.

* Detritus in ''Literature/MenAtArms'' suddenly starts using words he's probably never even heard, let alone remembers. However, since the intelligence was induced by a natural quirk of troll physiology, it's possible that he knew the words but couldn't normally remember them. Trolls are not stupid, but they move to the lowlands and ''become'' stupid, because the warm climate slow the working of their silicon brains. When Detritus goes to cold {{Uberwald}}, he starts getting smarter again. When he's locked in a freezer, he almost figures out a grand unifying theory of everything.

* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E8OurIdiotBrian Our Idiot Brian]]", where Brian becomes progressively dumber [[spoiler:due to a brain tumor]] and gains an appreciation for "dumb" activities like football, dick jokes and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick drinking gasoline]].
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/CampLazlo'' has a gastronomy-based variation. [[TheDitz The dung beetle brothers]] are hung upside down in a tree, and the blood flow to their brains turns them into geniuses. Their increased intelligence first shows during a game of "name things that are good to eat": they start with [[PasteEater inedible things]] like mud and sticks, then switch to actual food like hot dogs, and finally to fancy food like pate de foie gras.
