It's amazing how Sokka is both the funny idiot and the genius strategist at the same time. A lot of his comedy actually comes from him being the only braincell in the group and constantly getting frustrated with the carelessness of the others, which is really clever. He's a great fighter but his strength lies in his brains, which is surprising for a "moronic" character (I mean, he's had his share of genuinely stupid stuff too, but still). It's a twist on the badass, with his main power being the smart guy, rather than being the awesome warrior.

His moron badass ratio is different in every season and he doesn't switch very frequently in all 3.

He pretends to be a bumbling idiot of a pirate when just under the surface he's a simultaneously brilliant and insane master escape artist that can figure out how he can get out of a situation with little more than a glance at a few things that he can use. The idiot act just helps him pull off his escapes from inescapable situations by making everyone else who doesn't know of him already underestimate his affinity for using wacky bullshit to get himself out of trouble.

In addition to the above points, this can be a really juicy question to answer. I think it's very notable that when you ask people for their fave Avatar TLA episodes, 'Tales of Ba Sing Sai' tends to come up a lot. Notably Iroh's backstory one. Likewise, Vash's CMHB is awsome, but even more interesting because the show does kinda explore why he is like he is.

This is why the Friendly Sniper trope is a thing. It's quite possible for someone to be the absolute life of the party, and at the same time to be the deadliest sniper of them all. Simo Hayha was actually a nice guy, but also such a lethal sniper that during Finaldn's 1941 war with Russia the Russians came to fear him as The White Death. They were so scared of him, they blasted whole swathes of forest with artillery in hopes of killing him. (They failed.)

I just realized The Lego Movie technically shared two CMHBs: - Vitruvius as The Faker, normally playing up the senile old blind mentor but still able to fight (in the prologue and towards the end: "well June bug, I'd use the term EXPERIENCED"). - UniKitty as The Goku, courtesy aware of her aggressive side that can pummel through robots in a single leap, but generally reserved for her fun and cheery personality (breaks out when Emmet is trapped during the invasion of Bricksburg: "must stay positive....AW FORGET IT"). However, we can also mark it as Superpowered Evil Side as she does gradually remain angry kitty in this film and its sequel. But it does gradually return over time. There's just a good portion of time between both films in which she adapts the aggressive personality over the norm

Late, but, I also find it interesting how the CMHB trope can work on villains. A villain that toys with the heroes, that loudly makes jokes, that makes bond villain errors simply because of how much fun he’s having… and then something goes wrong, and he proceeds to start busting out the most powerful shit in his arsenal.

The example I used, Xykon, is usually hilarious, making jokes and breaking the fourth wall (spoilers for order of the stick ahead) And then, in one of the prequels, he has one of his underlings murder his brother by his own free will just to see if he was willing to. When one of the protagonists gets a massive power up and tries to face him one on one, he listens to his underlings (which he never does), stops playing with them, and wins despite, on paper, being far weaker. And then when said protagonist manages to make him lose his phylactery? He says “I am officially done with this. I’m snuffing out you sickening pouches of warm goo right now.” With no comedy, and then prevents his underling from regrowing his eye just because he failed them. I just love it when seemingly comedic villains get serious, but it becomes terrifying.

Stone-Cold badass characters blend really well with CMHBs, especially if the setting better fits the CMHB, because the guy who is established as a serious and professional person is now forced to turn a little more fun and light-hearted, often thinking they look stupid the whole time (and sometimes being right).

Zenitsu doesn't have much of a backstory, he has great development, but for the majority of the show, he's just boring. And when he goes into badass mode, he doesn't pull out anything new, he just does the same couple of attacks, which while explained in story, doesn't make it anymore boring.

Something pointed out by Comics Explained during their X Men Vs Avengers videos, specifically about Spiderman, that can feed into the CMHB Trope is that cracking jokes or not taking a fight seriously can actually mess with opponents. Spiderman doesn't just wisecrack during fights because it's who he is, he does it in part because acting so blasé and casual about fights while the people he's fighting take it so seriously can mess with them on a psychological level.

I feel like Urahara Kisuke is a well done CMHB. He starts out as this quirky shopkeeper, but we learn he's one of the most powerful and brilliant Soul Reapers to exist. And while we do see him do more and more badass things, he's also that goofy person. He's someone who at his core is a funny and goofy guy, but is also prepared to cut someone down ruthlessly when needed. He's also one to add his humor into his fights, so it's not a clear on/off switch, it's just who he is.

One of my favorite JLU moments is when Superman is an inch away from going psycho on Cadmus, and Flash isn't amused in the slightest. In not so many words, he basically calls Supes out for letting his emotions interfere with his reason, and he's cognizant enough to realize that ripping Cadmus out root and stem wouldn't help the League's reputation or even necessarily solve the problem that Cadmus presents in the first place.

I think Saitama from One Punch Man is my favorite version of this trope. He's badass, COMPLETELY badass. But his badassitude is also the joke. He's so incomprehensibly strong that people assume he's just cheating. He lives in a world where a hero who can throw around cars like frisbees is only considered B-rank. His friend, who consistently loses VERY messily to the point it's almost a joke in and of itself, is an S rank. Saitama is stronger than all of these guys, without even really trying. He's also hilarious. Cuz he just wants to do hero stuff because it's the right thing to do. He only wants money for food and rent, and only goes along with the whole ranking system because of the money it provides that would allow him to not worry about it. He only really starts caring about his rank at all when he finds out C-ranks can get kicked out due to inactivity. And he's only C-rank because, as is typical for shonen heroes, he bombed the written portion. He's also more than willing to call villains out on their bullshit. That "OK..." meme with his face is his response to a villain's monologue carrying on a bit too long. He's a conflict killer, and the audience KNOWS he's a conflict killer. But he does it in such absurd ways that it's funny. Like punching a guy who shrugged off several S-rank heroes and straight up killed or dismembered several lower ranked heroes so hard that the sky clears. Then, when the crowds start thinking "Hey, why do we need heroes if they can't stand up to threats like this?!" he admits he "cheated," and engaged in so his fellow heroes' sacrifices wouldn't be glossed over just because he's so freakishly strong. And all this from the guy who got constantly assaulted by an annoying mosquito that he chased into a huge battle scene.

Im not sure if I would really call Saitama a crouching moron, hidden badass to be honest. While everyone underestimates him, he never at any point hides his power level behind a facade personality(except for that one time with the deep sea king aftermath), and he isnt even exactly all that comedic. If anything, he's more like a "overdog posed as underdog" character type. Basically a character that the audience knows is badass, but the world, or setting of the series refuses to acknowledge that. Soma from Food Wars is a good example, along with Chivalry of a Failed Knight's Ikki.

He's really not "completely badass". He's not really a crouching "moron" either though, more of a "crouching normal dude, hidden badass". Though he has the same effect as a crouching moron. While say his obsession with sales isn't moronic, and just normal with a spice of silly, it's funny regardless exactly because he's so strong. He's so strong that the only things he still cares about are mundane things, and it's funny to see such a powerhouse act like the weekend sale is literally the most important thing ever. It's also made funnier by the fact that he often does these mundane things in the middle of badass situations. He's so damn strong that he doesn't need to care about the fact that the potential destroyer of the planet is standing right in front of him, so he thinks about something mundane instead. That makes it both badass and funny at the same time.

@wjzav1971

Not sure if Soren fits though. He is introduced as a capable fighter from the start, just not a very smart guy. And his later heroics don't come from being smarter than people thought but having more heart than people thought. We first see him as a classic jock who bullies the more nerdy Callum and takes evil orders without question. And later we do get to see that he actually does have a moral compass when he frees Esrin and when he turns his back on his father after he turns fully evil. I would say Soren more fits the "Are we the baddies?" trope.

I really like Rimiru from “That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime” as an example of a moronic badass. They fall under the “Acting stupid to gain an advantage over those who underestimate them” archetype. They often use the fact that they are “just a weak slime” to accomplish this on top of acting dumb as though they don’t understand the gravity of what’s happening most of the time, only breaking character when a villain pushes them too far. They let their opponent know this by literally telling them that they’re getting serious now. This is usually where Rimiru puts down their sword, and start using their actual powers, regrowing limbs, transforming into other creatures, using powerful magic, creating body doubles, kirbying the villain’s allies, etc.

That Flash scene! Perfect example. As someone who was a fan of Mark Waid's run, and knows that when he's up to speed he can punch Superman to the moon and leave him in a crater, I wated to see what the DCAU Flash could do when he cut loose. This may not have been that, but good golly. Seeing him towering over Luthiac was the moment you could see what he could really do, and for the first time, you saw him deadly serious and holding nothing back. You knew it was over for the bad guys. They could not withstand his power.... you just didn't know what he was gonna do with it. He was so badass, and it was so satisflying to see.

I gotta shout out Gintama for fusing funny and awesome together very well. Not every episode is perfect but there are some moments of pure gold in there.

Pretty much from the beginning he was written to be a self-aware comedy relief character, and even though he’s a a fully capable agent, what sticks out more in my memory is his surprising emotional intelligence. When any member of the team - especially Kensi - is experiencing some kind of internal turmoil, he’s the one who can really pinpoint what’s going on, and even if he doesn’t fully understand, he doesn’t hesitate to offer an ear and sympathy.

You know what's funny there is a manga that combine the split personality & the pretender: Samurai deeper Kyo. When we fist met the protag: Mibu Kyoshiro , he has 2 personalities(Kyo the bad-ass & Kyoshiro the dumb-ass). But later on we found out that they're 2 different people: Kyoshiro defeated & seal Kyo soul in his body(because a powerful opponent want to kill Kyo but he's a hot head who would rather die than run away so Kyoshiro seal his soul, hide his body then ran away). They're constanly fighting for control-> as weak a a normal man until one relinquished control to the other

A somewhat related character trope: "somone that has god-like powers but with a mind and/or body of a child" Ex: The Collecter from The Owl House

Mild case: Col. Jack O'Neill from Stargate SG-1. Faker archetype, and quite fun.

My wife is pretty much the social embodiment of this. Shes full on ADHD, clumsy, silly, sometimes childish and extremely excitable. She also completely annihilates the competition at her sales-centric job, can make nearly anyone feel like they want whatever she wants them to and can manipulate a conversation in such a way that you not only think that doing what she wants you to do is the best idea but was actually your idea in the first place. She can tell within seconds of seeing a person the perfect way to address them and relate to them on a natural and personal level, getting them to open up and reveal things to her after just minutes that they would not tell their friends of years. It's a good thing she's Chaotic Good and enjoys actually helping people; I'd hate to think what a selfish person could do with her talents.

I have a D&D character whom I suppose is 'The Manchild' because they've grown up in a weird, somewhat goofy, and utterly relatively alien culture (aka the Feywild) and so socially to everyone else they seem kind of goofy. They aren't self-aware of their silliness, or at least that it is silliness, most of the time, albeit they know they are different. They are objectively powerful, and even kind of perceptive, but just naive and kind of stupid. They will kill the monsters hiding in the tavern basement, and then proceed to try and sell the barrels of wine back to the owner.

My favorite version of this trope is a loveable idiot who just wants to live a carefree life indulging in the things that make them happy. Their badassery only appears when someone tries to take one of those things away from them. For example, CMHB is chasing butterflies. A threat appears trying to get them to engage in an epic battle. CMHB takes one whole second to obliterate this threat because THIS IS BUTTERFLY TIME, DAMMIT, WAIT YOUR TURN!

Mine from ascendance of a bookworm is this to some extent. The locals often seem to think of her as a cloud cookoolander or as a bunny-eared lawyer (if they recognize her brilliance) because her real-world memories make her react in ways they don't understand. But she can be kinda dumb when it comes to her main motivators: her family, friends and books as she prioritizes them over what most people there consider common sense. It's funny though that despite being the physically weakest human protagonist I can think of she's actually really dangerous for spoiler reasons i.e. having an overpowering wellspring of magic inside that threatens to kill you can become useful when emotions take over.

I have a character who is described perfectly by this trope! They're definitely a manchild, but they also lean slightly into faker territory. Loads of snark and pranking and intentionally annoying bestie. Lots of screamfests. Lots of oops-I-accidentally-set-myself-on-fire-with-my-own-magic. The funny only goes away when the aforementioned bestie is in some real deep shit.

There is another version: the saitama. He is so badass he just doesn’t need to care and as such he is a frequent source of comedy.

@@gormauslander Honestly I think the reason it works is that the characters goal is tied to wanting a struggle yet he overqualified himself. His overall depression allows him to slip under the radar, which opens up a lot of the jokes, not to mention King's backstory being the epitome of using that fact for a joke. Also, the author juxtaposed him with mumen rider against the sea king perfectly. Saitama became a hero for fun yet he found himself so OP that he can't have any fun and not only that but he's so strong that others dont believe it and flame him. I think the way to pull it off is to make the internal goal actively hurt by the fact that theyre overpowered. I think that's also why early superman worked yet it's so narrow that a lot of remakes fail because they can't give him an internal conflict that cant be solved by being a badass.

@@gormauslander It doesn't get old through OPM because while Saitama is the main character of the series, he's almost never the main character of the single episodes and shows up towards the end to clean eventual mess, for instance in Garou's arc the entirety of the focus has been mostly on Garou, Saitama intervening once in a blue moon. Besides, Saitama is a savant, as it's shown that in a multitude of different situations that do not involve combat he's kind of a loser, OPM also does a great job at making you wishing for Saitama to kick some ass, as everyone underestimates him for his unremarkability while Saitama himself does not get offended for it and does not retaliate until he feels like either the situation is escalating, or one of his "triggers" is pulled, namely making fun of his baldness. To name more examples, I'd say Henry Killinger in the Venture Bros can also be valid in this regard. Venture Bros also had perhaps one of the most iconic CMHB characters to ever exist in Henchman 21.
