* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: In ''Series/CuteyHoneyTheLive'', Honey transforms by touching two fingers to a little heart charm on her neck and calling "Honey Flash!". Her transformation is a naked/sparkle scene a la ''Manga/SailorMoon'', but the catch is that the people around her can ''see'' her naked and sparkling. This goes for all animated incarnations too; she's a more tech-based MagicalGirl-like character; her transformation is caused by a device in her body that disassembles things on an atomic level and reassembles them, similar to the replicators in ''Franchise/StarTrek''. In the seconds that her clothes are temporarily ''vapor,'' she is very much naked in the real world and every character can see it all (camera angles mean you see enough to make it {{Fanservice}} instead of an outright X-rated affair.) When it comes to how she feels about this, it depends on the portrayal: the early semi-ruthless, rebellious, and pragmatic GuileHero typically couldn't care less if you saw her butt for five seconds, and if you were a male opponent, getting DistractedByTheSexy would prove ''painful.'' However, Creator/GoNagai couldn't resist putting in the odd AccidentalPervert moment with ButtMonkey detective Seiji Hayami. The more recent portrayal, including that seen in the live action version, is a FunPersonified GenkiGirl GeniusDitz who can [[MouthfulOfPi calculate Pi to the zillionth digit]] but is like a child personality-wise, which makes her hilarious, but makes the darker moments truly tragic because of who they're happening to - you ''will'' cry. ''She'' doesn't even seem to ''notice'' that people react quite differently to her when she's without clothes than when she's in them. '''Possibly correct, WallOfText aside.'''

That said, when he ''is'' cooking he's unrivaled by even the best chefs out there.
* Characters.TheRickyGervaisShow: For all his gaffes, it's noted a few times that Karl does have several profound and interesting thoughts, and that he's generally a bit more clever than Ricky and Steve give him credit for. Unfortunately, he's constantly defeated by misremembering or misinterpreting the information that fuels those thoughts, or by lacking the linguistic skills to properly articulate them, leading Ricky and Steve to frequently dismiss what he says regardless of how much insight or truth lies behind it.
* Characters.TheSimpsonsBartSimpson: He's a terrible student, and usually does no better than a D- in classes, but he's shown many different skills over the course of the series. Exactly what skills he has and how this contrasts his dimwittedness depends a lot on the episode.
** When he actually uses it, he's a crack-shot with his slingshot.
** He's a natural for [[{{Omniglot}} picking up languages]], often doing so with great ease.
** As Lisa puts it "When there's cruelty involved, Bart knows his history".
** Similarly, in "Boy Scoutz in the 'Hood", Bart memorizes every single kind of knot in his [[ScoutOut junior camper]] handbook, just so he can move to the next rank and get a knife to play with.
** He is decent to gifted in almost every artistic discipline, drawing being his most consistent.

Even the oblivious and childish Carter is a GeniusDitz when it comes to explosives. '''The trope is mentioned in the description, but it seems to be correct.'''
* WMG.{{Firefly}}: Mind that this troper(the one that believes Jayne is poorly educated) subscribes to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_multiple_intelligences the theory of multiple intelligences]], and believes that intelligence shows itself in different ways. Jayne's aptitude is more in line with firearms and combat and likely has a more bodily-kinesthetic inclination than the rest of the crew. Mind you, I'm not saying he's a GeniusDitz or anything, just saying that he's more intelligent than his crude nature and lack of any sort of formal education lets on. Not as smart as Simon, Book, Inara, or Kaylee(in no particular order), but on a comparable level to Mal, Zoe, and Wash. He just has the rotten luck of having the least amount of schooling for anyone on the crew, which is why his competence only shows in his areas of experience; fighting. '''Seems to be correct.'''

Added DiffLines:
* Fridge.FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade: Some archetype characters between ''The Binding Blade'' (which closely follows Archanea's standards) and ''The Blazing Blade'' are almost complete opposites. Elen is a sweet priestess, while Serra is a loudmouthed, bratty cleric. Clarine is spoiled but goodhearted, while Priscilla is ladylike. Rutger is super serious, while Guy comes across as a bit clumsy. Lugh is a cheerful kid who fights because he has to, while Erk is training hard to become a great mage. Raigh is cold and cynical, while Canas is a GeniusDitz. Dieck and Raven are both mercenaries, but Dieck is loyal to his bosses, and Raven intends to kill Hector as soon as he has the chance. Shanna is outgoing and all her mercenary companions are men, while Florina is terrified of men. '''Just a mention of the trope.'''

* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: Aiz Wallenstein from ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon''. She's 16, yet a ten-year veteran dungeon delver and one of the strongest and most famed adventurers in [[RPGMechanicsVerse the city of Orario]]. Fighting in the dungeon from such an early age, however, has left her knowledge base focused almost entirely on combat and dungeoneering. Outside of her particular skillset, [[GeniusDitz she's a bit of an airhead]], has [[NoSocialSkills next to no people skills]], and has difficulty understanding people and her own emotions.

* Funny.OsomatsuSan: The brothers finally come to the conclusion that they don't exactly know everything about each other as they leave for the bathhouse. Then they notice Jyushi's still in the house, so Totty goes to fetch him... while he's in the middle of a serious call about [[HiddenDepths his stock]] [[GeniusDitz falling]]. He then runs out of the house ''in his slippers'', leaving Osomatsu to comment on how they really don't know everything about each other. '''Pothole that doesn't explain anything.'''
* Literature.PhryneFisher: Jane, one of Phryne's adopted daughters.

* Characters.TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius:
** (under Jimmy's folder)He's undeniably smart, but has a lack of common sense and can be arrogant.
** (under Judy's folder) Not ditz per se (she's certainly [[WomenAreWiser the intelligent one]] in her marriage with Hugh and more rational than he is) but she has her moments of ditziness. There are also numerous moments where she demonstrates it's definitely from her side of the gene pool that Jimmy gained his intellect.

There are also numerous moments where she demonstrates it's definitely from her side of the gene pool that Jimmy gained his intellect.
* Characters.NinjaNinjaTactics: Minato is this a little bit when it comes to teaching his team. He got used to Kakashi just picked stuff up so easily that when he got Obito and Rin he neglected teaching them as thoroughly as he should have. He's been called out on this though and has been working to fix his mistake. '''The description is a bit muddled, but he seems to count.'''
* Characters.PleaseTellMeGalkoChan: Ojou is labeled as a ditz, and the things Galko and Otako discuss tend to go over her head. However, she ''is'' at the top of the class and aces other extra-curricular and outside-school activities. She's even shown singing Indian songs fluently. '''Not entirely sure, though.'''
* Characters.VoltronLegendaryDefenderAllies: PlayedWith. Most of the time, she's the HumanCalculator, but occasionally when Griffin asks for a status report or something similar, she takes him at his literal word, going so far at one point to give him a weather report when all he wanted was a rundown of the battlefield.
* Characters.YamadaKunAndTheSevenWitchesTheMainCouple: Despite how clever she is, she seems oblivious to certain everyday things, possibly because of her ParentalNeglect and FriendlessBackground. Examples include not knowing anything about fireworks, not realizing that you can get carsick from reading, and thinking going to the supermarket equals a date. And like ''any'' major character in the series, she has had her thoughtless moments, e.g. looking at her own panties while being in [[AccidentalPervert Yamada's body]].
* JustForFun.{{Wisdom}}: To put it in other terms, ThePhilosopher will always have remarkably high wisdom, independent of what his other stats might be, a BookDumb character usually has decent wisdom, but average to below average intelligence, while a DitzyGenius will have high intelligence, but remarkably low wisdom. '''Correct.'''
* Literature.MaloryTowers: Irene. She's a math and music prodigy but scatterbrained and helpless when it comes to daily activities.

* Sandbox.TheOfficeDwightSchrute: While he is an intelligent salesman, he's still a naive, impulsive and socially oblivious {{Manchild}} that's gullible to many of Jim (and Pam)'s classic pranks.
* Sandbox.TheOfficeDwightSchrute: While he is an intelligent salesman, he's still a naive, impulsive and socially oblivious {{Manchild}} that's gullible to many of Jim (and Pam)'s classic pranks.
* TheSmartGuy.WesternAnimation: Mr. Cat from ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' is the only actual smart character on the show, the other "smart" characters being {{Ditzy Genius}}es. He's a [[GadgeteerGenius pretty good inventor]] and a MadScientist, and he constantly comes up with schemes to trick other people. He averts the "weak" part though as he's [[HiddenDepths actually a very good athlete]]. '''The characters subpage makes it clear at least some of the characters in question qualify for this trope.'''

His showy attitude boosts his confidence and he’s able to use a barrage of rapid fire shots while confusing his opponents, and he also invented his own grip, allowing him to control his rapid fire shots even more accuracy and precision. He even schooled Basara of all people during the latter’s first Break Bomber match. '''Sounds more like GeniusDitz to me, if even that.'''

'''Data''': [[ComicallyMissingThePoint I understand]].

He sees [[MeaningfulName Doofus]], [[IdiotHero Launchpad]], and [[DitzyGenius Gyro Gearloose]], the crew that will help him, trip each other up and fall all over the place.

DitzyGenius is supposed to be about a character of high intelligence who struggles in more mundane areas such as social skills or common sense. In contrast, GeniusDitz is about a character who is usually foolish, but is brilliant in at least one area. The two tropes are suspected to be used interchangeably and perhaps not distinctive enough. The wick check is supposed to show how the tropes are used.
