    No, Spudgun was the stupid one.
    Actually, everyone in 'Bottom' was stupid, that was part of the appeal.

    Sally Smedley in Drop the Dead Donkey was a bit of an airhead. Described by Alex as having been 'expelled from the National League of Bimbos' for being too dim'!

    This seems to be usual as sitcoms run.

    Rose in the Golden Girls started out naive and a bit dim. In later seasons she could barely hold a conversation and believed she was named after 'the way seats are arranged in a theatre'!

    Baldrick was streetsmart in the first Blackadder but became the progessively dumber idiot we know and love from Blackadder II onwards.

    The Prince Regent in Blackadder The Third.
    He made Baldrick seem like a genius.

    True - and Hugh Laurie's turn as Private George in Blackadder Goes Forth was equally thick.
