One Winged Egret

It is a big deal if it gives the wrong impression of the trope. It's possible for the two tropes to overlap, but the original image gave no impression that he's apparently a moron. I like the "no pants" picture as the before image.
I honestly don't see how that is "moronic". He was rushing to get dressed but the phone rang so he had to pick it up. Nothing stupid or foolish about it, he's just pressed for time.

◊ Something like this then? (This is very bad quality though >< so unusable Google Fu is failing me atm.)

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Yeah, Hats before Pants isn't a good enough reason to classify that image as "Stupid" rather than "extremely hurried" or simply lacking priorities.
What the hell is he doing in that image? I mean, I like the literal mindedness that he is crouching but again that's just vaguely silly.

Diagnosis: TV Tropes Addiction.As a moron myself, I must say that you guys are being overly critical of the images of the old guy from Dragon Ball for qualifications of being a moron. In the one where he's holding the magazine he has a stupid look on his face and is crouching in an odd position. In the one where he's on the phone, he's wearing a hat and what looks like both a shirt and a jacket yet isn't wearing pants.
You don't have to sympathize with him and try to save his feelings from being embarrassed. I'd say that either of those pictures work when merged with the picture of him being all tough and muscular.
I still think something with GIR would be the best for this trope. GIR's naturally an insane blabbering idiot that can't tell the difference between cows and dancing hotdogs, yet can also switch into Hyper Competent Mode when the situation arises.

Ok, found some pictures for others who can fit this trope (still love the Sokka one btw, ahem anyways.)
For arguement's sake, Ron Stoppable (from Kim Possible) fits the trope like a glove-the image up right now, just does NOT work with this trope. Here are better ones for Ron.

Jack Fenton from Danny Phantom 7

In addition to Master Roshi from Dragonball and Sokka from Avatar the Last Airbender, I'd say we have a great list of choices!

This is Mimi-don't let her cuteness fool you-she's got spunk.I kinda like Sokka, though I think the "Before" image should be something else. He has so many suitable moments where he's shown being a goofy ditz, but that one just looks... weird.
I don't like GIR though. Neither one of them says Moron or Badass. Just insane. Just Insane.
