My favorite type of characters are “they’re not dumb but they are a dumbass”
Characters with enough intellect and common sense to clearly and easily grasp that something is a Bad Idea, but with enough chaotic dumbass energy to decide they gotta just go ahead with it anyway are on point.
Spencer is the perfect example. He dropped out of law school, yeah, but he still got the fuck in.
And he retained enough to win a case against corporate lawyers after only being in law school for 3 days.
He also bought an ostrich on the request of a magic 8 ball.
