* Barry Zuckercorn from ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' is a lawyer, but not a very good one. He routinely gives out poor legal advice and at one point has to look up something on Ask Jeeves. His advice even gives Michael some unneeded angst in the pilot, when George puts Lucille in charge of the Bluth Company instead of him.

** Buster Bluth is noted to have spent years studying [[ADegreeInUseless various useless topics]], like cartography and Native American music. We see the extent of what this training has gotten him when he has to read a map, and manages to come up with "Obviously this blue part here is the land..."

* WebAnimation/SheriffHayseed: Todd Hayseed got the job as Troughwater's sheriff because he said on his resume he helped guard the Whatchamacallum fortune, which Joy took as a sign he was competent. It turns out that Whatchamacallum is a knick-knack store in his hometown, and he was a cashier there. His experience in guarding a fortune was helping his boss hide his fortune from the IRS.

* ''Series/NorthernExposure'': In "A Bolt from the Blue," the state police hostage negotiator's tactics consist of extremely terse small talk and asking his adversary to promise not to take anyone who comes inside to talk to him hostage for additional leverage. And he only thinks to worry about giving a potentially unhinged man another hostage during a standoff after Joel points it out.

* ''[https://allpoetry.com/The-Owl-Critic The Owl Critic]]'' is a poem by James T. Fields (1817-1881) in which a self-proclaimed expert in taxidermy raises a loud and lengthy stink about the very poorly stuffed and mounted owl on display in a barber shop. [[spoiler: The owl he's complaining about then gets off his perch and hoots, revealing it is actually a living bird.]]

* ''ComicBook/LesTuniquesBleues'' has a former Southerner who moved to Canada to mine gold bequeath his fortune to the South, with our heroes sent to stop him. They also hire a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coureur_des_bois coureur des bois]] to guide them, and every time Chesterfield cites a MemeticBadass-level fact about them, the guy proves him wrong (falling flat on his face every few feet, giving them fleas, leaving clothes on anthills to get rid of parasites and getting them back full of ants). When they finally reach the prospector's cabin, they find the Southern delegation... who it turned out hired the guide's equally-inept brother. The prospector dies of laughter (literally) after explaining the guides had only just gotten out of the forest from that cabin after several months (a few days' trip), and it turns out [[AllForNothing he'd only ever mined a few ounces of gold.]]
