Blues Brothers 2000 picture

Stupidity: After all the singing and dancing at the Tent Revival, Lt Elizondo yells at her fellow officers "It's a Trick, they've brainwashed the Captain, get 'em." Considering her and everyone else just witnessed the Captain float into the sky surrounded by fireworks and miraculously change into a black suit her "brainwashing" assumption is truly stupid.

Evil Dead II picture

Stupidity: When Bobbi Jo sees Ash's severed possessed hand holding her hand, she freaks out and runs out of the cabin and then gets killed by possessed trees. While it's certainly natural for her to be terrified, why would she run AWAY from where all her friends are and go off by herself?

Suggested correction: She is a civilian in a blind panic, and even people with actual training have done dumber in panics (e.g., choking firefighters run away from other firefighters who could help them). She also has no idea how dangerous the woods are at this point; she walked to the cabin just fine and only saw scary things inside it, so she thinks she'll be fine if she just runs from the cabin.

Stupidity: RJ goes through this complex plan of getting Hammy to avoid the lasers so he can then turn them off...why not just get one of the gang to go around the house from the front yard?

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius picture

Stupidity: Jimmy and his friends aren't allowed by their parents to go to the opening of Retroland because it is a school night. What kind of amusement has its grand opening on a school night? It would make more sense commercially to open on a Friday or Saturday night.

Ghostbusters picture

Stupidity: It's mostly a fun absurdity, but it is somewhat contradictory to showcase the Ghostbusters being featured as the cover story of every major publication and news outlet, and yet to get help not only they put an ad on the newspaper, but a single person applies for the job (which is all it took for them to accept).

Our Idiot Brother picture

Stupidity: Didn't Miranda realise if Lady Arabella read her article she'd probably sue the magazine and as part of the settlement they'd probably fire her?
