History TooDumbToLive / Webcomics

* In ''DarthandDroids'', Jim plays Han Solo as a complete moron who brings himself and his team headlong to death's door.

* In ''DarthandDroids'', Jim plays Han Solo as a complete moron who brings himself and his team into one certain death predicament after another.

* Some of the elves near the end of ''Errant Story''. They ''know'' just ''one'' of the 'gods' possessing a young man ''cracked open a mountain'' and did a LOT of other major things. (Some very messy.) Meiji now has ''both'' god-forces inside of her. Yet they storm out ''demanding'' she hand them back over and threatening to get nasty if she doesn't. Subverted in that she doesn't kill them; she 'just' threatens to stop the heart of anyone who continues threatening, ever, and orders them to help dig survivors out of the rubble.

* [[http://antiheroescomic.com/comic/189 Kaalinor]] of ''WebComic/{{Anti-Heroes}}''. Fortunately, he's already dead, so his stupidity can't cause him further harm.

::Also from that same quote...

--->'''Schlock:''' They committed suicide when they saw me coming.

* Elan, early on in ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick''. "''Bluff, Bluff, Bluff, Bluff the stupid ogre!''" Summed up by the team leader:

* Apparently, the two kids in [[http://xkcd.com/782/ this]] ''{{Webcomic/xkcd}}'' comic are just bright enough to recognize Indian bones but not bright enough to recognize an IndianBurialGround until ''after'' they've desecrated it (and no doubt invited all sorts of well-deserved supernatural horrors onto themselves - check out the AltText for more fun).

* Minmax of ''{{Webcomic/Goblins}}'' verges on this at times. It is played especially straight in [[http://www.goblinscomic.com/01252011-2/ this strip]].

** Tsukiko, necromancer (and -phile) and one of Xykon's lieutenants, thought that because Redcloak tolerated her constant taunts and attempts to undermine his authority he was a submissive coward. So when she found out that he was betraying their master, she told him that she knew and was going to alert Xykon, expecting him to stand meekly aside and allow it. What really makes this Too Dumb to Live is that even if Redcloak ''was'' submissive, telling him that you're going to get him killed would certainly provoke a response--even a docile animal can be dangerous when cornered.

* With full knowledge that the device before him is a bomb (as it gets hinted that he himself planted it there) and with apparent full knowledge of how to disarm said bomb, [[http://workhate.co.uk/?p=31 Captain Broadband]] still comes to the conclusion that the best way to resolve the situation is to treat the bomb like a PSP and punch it out of anger for the square button not working correctly. He survives, though the next issue reminds us that he had died in the previous issue.

* [[http://antiheroescomic.com/comic/189 Kaalinor]] of ''Anti-Heroes''. Fortunately, he's already dead, so his stupidity can't cause him further harm.

* Many of the characters of ''GirlsWithSlingshots'' have had their moments of overwhelming stupidity, of course YourMileageMayVary.

* ''QuentynQuinnSpaceRanger''. Thus far, the title character has had to deal with nothing BUT this sort of alien... first with a crew of "space pirates" who manage to get eaten by their third would-be hijacking victim; then the [[{{expy}} blue-skinned]] [[StarTrek Federation aliens]] who run their ship with an exposed antimatter reactor, have crackerbox computer security, fly shuttlecraft with the aerodynamics of a cement block, and use matter-transporter technology despite having at least one crewmember who has been grotesquely mutated and deformed by its chronic use....

** Given that Aeris had given his mother an ''abortion'' two strips previously and Leo [[UnexplainedRecovery got better]], and that young Leo seems just as enthused about his future self's arms being cut off, Leo's a textbook case of Too Dumb to ''[[BeyondTheImpossible Die]]''.

** The entire order of the Red Mages. There's a reason Red Mage is TheLastOfHisKind, they held their elaborate, secret meetings, while other people were busy meeting finding mates and reproducing. Combined with their trying to find the underlaying rules of how the universe worked, by hitting each other with random weapons and spells to see how much damage they did. As Muffin so aptly put it:
-->'''Muffin:'''"You stupided yourselves into extinction."

--->'''Schlock:''' [[{{Understatement}} They committed suicide when they saw me coming.]]

* The time-traveling paleontologist in [[http://dawnoftimecomics.com/index.php?id=46 this]] ''DawnOfTime'' strip. He fails to consider that he might be wrong about the T-Rex being a so-called "pure scavenger" -- or that even if it were, there hasn't ever been a scavenger on Earth "pure" enough to avoid eating a small, easy-to-kill creature that's not even trying to get away.

** Fighter isn't the only one. Black Mage also qualifies, most famously for his fondness of solving every problem with nuclear blasts, having apparently once used it on a bee. It gets worse when it turns out that he can only use his nuke spell once per day, and favors using his knife over other spells (he repeatedly tries to kill Fighter with it, with no success), and when once suggested that he use a lower-than-level-9 spell, he said they weren't his idiom. Aside from this, there's also his attempts at hitting on White Mage, which usually result in her beating him to a pulp. Red Mage also falls under this, once being too dumb to use to white magic on himself after getting his ass kicked by werewolves, and once not noticing a bridge across lava that Fighter and Black Mage notice. Even [[MagnificentBastard Thief]] get's this as [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2002/05/20/episode-150-even-thief-can-make-a-mistake/ this strip shows.]] In spite of this, all four of them have some moments of intelligence.

* Gordon Frohman from the ''{{Half-Life}}''-based comic ''{{Concerned}}'' is quite possibly the definition of Too Dumb to Live [[spoiler:as it's revealed near the end of the comic that he's been playing the entire game with the Buddha cheat on this whole time; he then ''turns it off'', with [[DownerEnding predictable results]].]]

* ''Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy'' may be brilliant inventors, but they're ''literally'' Too Dumb To Live, since they get killed constantly. Trick juggling near unprotected anti-matter, skydiving but forgetting to pack the chutes, the wood-powered submarine with the chimney... The list is WAY too long.

* Many prey animals in ''{{Kevin and Kell}}'' display this behavior, such as walking into obvious predator traps, attracting attention to themselves while out in the open. Ray (a firefly) in particular isn't at all bothered by Lindesfarne being an insectivore.

* Happens sometimes in ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness''. Others began to [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/1480/ count on it]]. Hey, if people can fall for "iloveyou" virus...

** Tempts Fate managed to drown a score of hostile WorldOfWarcraft [=PC=]s (ItMakesSenseInContext) by telling them that if they submerge into water and wait untill they run out of breath, they'll be teleported to a secret place full of loot and XP. And why did they listen to him when only moments before they were after his blood? Because he had an exclamation mark over his head that marked him as a quest-giver, which he stole from an actual quest-giver right before the eyes of said [=PC=]s.
* [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Zeromus]] in Webcomic/CaptainSNES falls for every stupid trick in the book, mostly because he's a personification of protagonist Alex's hatred. It just so happens that that the thing Alex hates most is stupid people.
* A fan comic of Webcomic/{{Narbonic}} showed what happens when you create a lethal soda [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=9831=narbonic and advertise that it's deadly to drink.]]

* ''LookingForGroup'' has a gnome guard on Page [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/275 275]] who makes a [[DoNotTauntCthulhu snide remark]] about [[SociopathicHero Richard]]. While standing in arm's reach. Next to a pit of magma.

* Many of the characters of ''GirlsWithSlingshots'' have had their moments of overwhelming stupidity, [[YourMileageMayVary of course your mileage may vary]].
