13 Dumbest Movie Characters Ever Test

Here Are 13 Of The Dumbest Movie Characters Ever — I Bet You're Not Smarter Than Them

If you got this right, you're 1,000,000% smarter than Austin Ames, which means you probably should have taken his spot at Princeton.

The correct answer is Sam!

In _A Cinderella Story_, Austin Ames somehow got into Princeton, but he couldn't figure out Cinderella's true identity. Based on his very descriptive flyer, who do you think was dressed as Cinderella?

If you're willing to take a bite from a stranger's apple then you need to rethink some life choices!

The correct answer is no!

In _Snow White and the Seven Drawfs_, a stranger randomly appeared at the window of Snow White's house in the middle of the forest. The lady then handed her an apple with a literal skull on it. Would you eat the skull-ridden apple?

Don't stop. Don't look back. Don't do anything except RUN. If there's a chain lock on the door (there always is) and you can't undo it quickly enough, escape through the window. Whatever you do, don't run upstairs – otherwise your chance of being murdered just increased by 400%.

The correct answer is to always leave the house!

In _Scream_, several characters received threatening calls from a murderer who claimed to be inside their house. If the murderer was indeed in your house and started chasing you, you'd...

If you did not choose that answer, then you are a selfish, awful human being. Star-Lord can choke, tbh!!!!!

The correct answer is to sit your ass down!

In _Avengers: Infinity War_, the Avengers were five seconds away from removing the Guantlet from Thanos's hand, which would have saved half of all living things in the entire universe. Let's pretend you're Star-Lord in this situation: What do you do?

Look, I'm not here to tell you how to be a good parent, but..........if you purposefully placed your child's stroller over the edge of a cliff, I think we need to have a serious discussion.

The correct answer is to go back to your hotel room!

In _The Witches_, this woman decided to take a nap on the side of a cliff while her baby's stroller pointed directly over the ledge, inspiring the Grand High Witch to push the stroller over the rocks. Would you have done the same?

Somehow the makeup didn't give it away, and Dent was genuinely surprised.

The correct answer is the Joker!

In _The Dark Knight_, Harvey Dent was completely shocked when the person wearing this mask took it off. Based on this image alone, who do you think is wearing the mask?

Kevin changing batteries in a busy airport

However, a vacation away from your family does sound nice, so I don't totally fault you for either answer here.

The correct answer is to wait just a couple minutes to change those batteries!

In _Home Alone 2_, the McCallisters ran through the airport because they were seconds away from missing their flight. Naturally, Kevin halted so he could change the batteries on his tape recorder. If you were in his shoes, you would...

Even though the Heart of the Ocean isn't a real necklace, the movie claimed its diamond was bigger than the Hope Diamond (which is real and has a current estimated value of [$350 million](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesdigitalcovers/2019/12/06/secret-history-hope-diamond-the-cartiers-book-excerpt/?sh=188039bf7bed)). That could help a lot of people in need.

The correct answer is to ~not~ throw it in the water!

In _Titanic_, Old Rose tossed the priceless Heart of the Ocean necklace into the water because she wanted to be poetic. The right decision would have been to...

The correct answer is to keep driving!

In _The Texas Chain Saw Massacre_, the kids saw a random, bloody hitchhiker on the side of the road and decided to give him a lift. You would have...

The correct answer is to use the wand for good before destroying it!

In _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2_, Harry and his friends defeated Voldemort and saved the day. Harry then snapped the Elder Wand in two, destroying its powers. If you were Harry in this situation, you would have...

Andy and her boyfriend in their apartment

And while you're at it, dump those "friends" of yours too, Andy.

The correct answer is to tell Nate to choke so you can fulfill your own dreams!

In _The Devil Wears Prada_, Andy and her boyfriend ultimately broke up. She landed her dream job at a major New York publication, but then Nate asked her to move to Boston with him so he could be a chef. If you were Andy, you'd...

Unless you're REALLY confident in your swimming abilities.

The correct answer is to get a bigger boat!

In _Jaws_, the men were tasked with catching a giantttttt great white shark, so they used their small, run-down boat. If you were given that job...

Michael Myers lying on the ground in "Halloween"

Y'all better be looking for heartbeats. This is no time for wishful thinking.

The correct answer is to MAKE SURE THE MURDERER IS REALLY DEAD!

And in literally any horror movie, the main character finally thinks they've defeated the killer with a simple knock to the head. Would you drop your weapon and claim victory, or would you finish the job and make sure they're 100% dead?

I'm sorry, but you've absolutely failed this quiz. If you were a movie character, you'd probably die in the first or second scene...even if it's not a horror movie. I'm not sure how you even make it out of bed each morning. Best of luck with everything you do. You'll need it.

You failed miserably.

You were pretty far off from a perfect score, but at least you didn't fail miserably. You've definitely made some foolish mistakes in life, but you're the type of person who would learn from them. If you were a movie character, you'd probably get back together with your ex, or maybe you'd get attacked by the serial killer who's on the loose...but you wouldn't die!

You did OK!

You've seen enough movies to know what you should and shouldn't do in these situations – that means you're smart enough to not get back together with your crappy ex, and zero witches will be poisoning you tonight. Well done!

You did really well!

Congrats on your perfect score! You're main character material, and I have no doubt that you'll be able to successfully outwit the murderer in whichever horror movie franchise you're starring in. Awesome job!

You're a genius!
