7 'Geniuses' Killed by Their Own Stupidity

If you’ve ever fired a green shell in a Mario Kart game, you'll know the things you do in life can come back to bite you. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in games, where it seems that everyone from main antagonists all the way down side quest characters are getting hoisted to death by their own petard in demises ironic enough to qualify for an episode of the Twilight Zone.

"But [Agent] 47 was actually genetically engineered to be the perfect super-soldier and assassin." ...... except when I'm controlling him

[@patrickphelan279]

It's actually a beautiful tale of free will and not being ruled over by your creation. 47 was CREATED to be the perfect super-soldier and assassin, but he brilliantly rebels against his genetic destiny by - at least when I'm playing him - getting stuck trying to climb something that can't be climbed often enough that guards become suspicious and shoot him sixty thousand times right in the barcode. That's RADICAL FREEDOM. Sartre would be proud.

Hello! I'm the leader of a Death Cult with a secret lab below our giant haunted mansion, and I'd like to thank you _so much_ for this video! Since it first showed up in the inter-office memos, we've been implementing some changes: -All Experiments (and their human predecessors) now have salaried positions. -The Giant Unstable Idol has a new coat of bubble wrap. (might need to do something about this one, the Demon with knitting needles for fingers keeps getting in the Idol room) -Opt-out cookie tracking has been changed to opt-in. -Coffee filters / coffee grounds ratios have been adjusted. There should now be enough in the Employee Lounge for more than one shift per week. -Break Room has been renamed to Employee Lounge, to clear up some messy misunderstandings with our more violence prone experiments. -401k -Dr. Killstreak has decided to use his mother's maiden name; Fluffkin. This has already lead to an 18% increase in employee retention! -Casual Fridays. Please try to remain professional. Even if you don't have skin, please cover the areas where genitals _would be_ as a courtesy to other Employees and Abominations -An Employee-only gondola has been installed _over_ the Torture Labyrinth. No more long/deadly commutes! -We're taking submissions for the new Cult Name. Apparently "Cult of the Slithering Doom" tested poorly with focus groups... Anyway, didn't want to interrupt your workflow, but there's just one last thing: I've been asked by The Sentient Pile of Meat and the Acolytes of Cannibalism to remind everyone that this Saturday they'll be hosting a BBQ in the mess hall, and they hope to see you there!

[@thenagito]

There are so, SO many people in FFVII like this. Take Hollander for example, from Crisis Core. He decided to try and make a supersoldier, but something in the genes went funky and instead caused one of the subjects, Angeal, to commit suicide via his protege slashing him to bits, and the other, Genesis, to start crumbling to dust at the ripe old age of 25. After a series of stupid decisions that led to him nearly getting killed, he's forced to take some of Genesis's cells into him to heal, but that also speeds up his demise at a far faster rate than his son's. After a few years, he goes to find someone who he needs to stop his degradation, who unfortunately has very protective mentor, also known as Zack Fair, the game's protagonist. Instead of running away like a reasonable person whenever a superhuman fighter with an egregiously large sword approaches you, he tries to fight. To no one's surprise, he gets defeated. This man is supposed to be a genius scientist!

While he doesn't get killed, Dr. Eggman definitely qualifies here. From Water gods, earth-shattering Kaijus, to even his own robotic creations, it's a wonder he isn't scrambled egg by now.

it's a well known fact that Eggman is a fan of the "just a doombot" tactic. it's not Alway a Eggrobo, but when things get letal, it is (S3&K secret ending, various kamikaze attacks) also, archie's one, but that's another story...

kids toys in the victorian era did in fact, kick ass. popular toys includes a chemistry set with super dangerous chemicals, lead and arsenic painted toys, and my personal favorite... a miniture coffin to play funeral with. Which, considering the first two toys definitely killed children, made a lot of sense.

[@RoboSparkle]

I'd say the "killed by stupidity" part for Joker came when he injected himself with the mutuated Titan formula in the previous game, given that pretty much everyone else who'd taken it died or became incoherent rambling monsters with zero capacity to tell jokes. If you want a "killed by stupidity" case in Arkham City, look no further than Hugo Strange. He's smart enough to figure out who the Batman is and captures him without his equipment to throw into his giant prison city instead of using his brainwashed soldiers to execute him, exactly as he tries to enact the most complicated part of his plan by engineering an armed turf war to justify genociding the entire criminal population. All this, he is able to do because of the assistance of Ra's Al Ghul, who is the Head of the League of Assassins and the closest thing to a Father-in-Law that Batman has. Somehow, knowing all this, this "genius" is not smart enough to see the inevitable double-cross coming.

11:02 >armed with a bazooka, managed to lose a fight to some crows That’s because a bazooka is not the kind of weapon to use against swarming, small, fast, FLYING targets. You are more likely to blow yourself up and/or cause a ton of collateral damage than actually do anything to the birdies. A shotgun would do much better. Especially if it is full-auto and has a large ammo capacity. Using bazooka against crows is a pretty much literal incarnation of a Russian saying “shooting sparrows with a cannon”.

[@annana6098]

Exactly. He'd be better off using the thing as a club than trying to fire it at birds. Why even bring a bazooka on this mission in the first place considering what they were expecting? Though maybe Wesker told him to, and he didn't mind looking for a chance to use it.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Alduin, the World-Eater, from Skyrim. He saves the Dragonborn by trying to kill them during their execution, thus allowing them to blow him out of existence at the end of the game. Lord Harkon qualifies as well, since his fake "Tyranny of the Sun" nonsense forces the Dragonborn to track down the weapon that makes him super-easy to beat at the end of the Dawnguard questline.

The Loyalists in Dishonored. They rescue Corvo from execution, give him weapons, supplies, and intel to take out all the targets that framed him for the Empress' murder.

Created a laser powered by brains, proceeds to be shot out a window by one of his lasers that was powered by the brain of his assistant's talking pet turtle that Loboto constantly threatened to cook so she'd do what he said.

Hey, Mark Hamill isn't a psycho! He just plays 2 of them. Goro Majima, well, at least in Yakuza 2's original PS2 english relase, they replaced the japanese cast with english actors, and Mark Hamill was one of them to play Majima, and didn't do too bad, but we can't forget his role as The Joker. Don't worry, dude/lady, you're not alone there. Mark Hamill's amazing voice brings wonders to millions of people. It's too bad after Arkham City, Hamill isn't returning anytime soon to be the Joker, since The Joker's dead... I mean, Hamill played The Joker in the Batman Beyond tv movie "Return Of The Joker", which took place decades after the end of Bruce Wayne's run as Batman, and there was a new Batman. And it turned out, Tim Drake, the 2nd Robin was the "new" Joker. After spending years being directly affected by Joker gas, it messed with his mind. But this time, really was the end of the Joker. And sadly, Mark Hamill's portrayal as The Joker. But, at least we have his immortalized performances AS The Joker. Something nobody can take away from us, people who enjoyed Mark Hamill's amazing Joker voice. He bought so much life to the character, even when The Joker was dying in Arkham City, ironically enough. Even when he was playing someone other than The Joker, he bought similar energy to other characters. Sure gonna miss The Joker, along with Mark Hamill's performance as The Clown Prince Of Crime... well, as long as you have the memories of the 2 Arkham games, and the memories of Mark Hamill's performance as The Joker in both games, I think you'll be alright, dude/lady.
