    Major Spoilers Question of the Day: The Biggest Idiot Edition

    At a certain point in sitcom history, it became commonplace for each show to have a complete idiot as part of the cast.  I’m not sure of the when or the why of it, but by the time we got to the shows of my youth, there was always a Balki, a Bull Shannon, or a big brother Eric to say something impeccably stupid.  My brain wants to think that it goes back to Gilligan (though my heart thinks Peter Tork from The Monkees), but no matter who was the original idiot, I wonder who is the BIGGEST idiot, leading to today’s cloudcuckooland query…

    The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites that, as much as we might want to, we try not to deal in real people here in MS-QOTD corner, asking: Which FICTIONAL dum-dum is the biggest idiot in the annals of pop culture?

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
