It's super effective.

Removed while reorganising examples.

Big Bad: Rythian and Zoey apparently consider him this in their Tekkit series. Which is pretty funny considering how everyone else treats him.

The "apparently" makes this a bit vague and suspicious. He's an antagonist later on, but he doesn't fit the "cause of all bad happenings in a story", does he?

Obfuscating Stupidity: He seems to dumb himself down to certain levels depending on which series it is. His intelligence is pretty obvious in his Let's Builds and Feed the World, but in any video with Sips (presumably because those videos are more about the comedy) he comes off as better at stuff than Sips, but not especially smart. When he's in Lewis, Simon, and Duncan's series, he barely seems competent at least until The Reveal and his Heel–Face Turn.

This just seems to be oddly written. Plus, I think I said elsewhere that "capable at Minecraft" and "coming off as absentminded or oblivious" are two different things.

I'll concede both examples are badly written. Would these work as rewrites?

Big Bad: For Season 1 of The Blackrock Chronicles, Zoey and Rythian consider him the biggest threat on the server, fearing he'll destroy the world again. He later kidnaps Teep and antagonises the gang further, serving as the only major antagonist for the show.

Sjin is, for most of Blackrock Season 1, the only major antagonist, at least as far as I'm aware. I haven't watched it for a while, I could potentially be wrong.

Obfuscating Stupidity: Sjin often pretends to be stupid when playing games, but it's clearly a mask for his intelligence and creativity, which are best shown in Feed the World and his Let's Builds. This also applies in Tekkit, where he barely seems competent but in reality controls Sipsco.

The Tekkit example is definitely a straight example, given how he seemed mostly harmless until The Reveal.
