So their involvement actually got him arrested and saved the day (even though they still wasted all the cash).
Idiocracy. Honestly, like 99% of comedies. Pretty much every comedy with few exceptions could have the plot solved immediately if the main cast wasn’t comprised of idiots or the villains weren’t equally buffoonish. Like seriously, think of any comedy. Tucker and Dale vs Evil, Ghostbusters, Knocked Up, Superbad, Harold and Kumar.

And many more.
As someone who works in emergency situations, a lot of people behave in completely moronic ways due to shock. It isn't "idiots" it is more "people do psychologically break due to shock etc".

They could just have left the ring to Sauron. What would possibly have happened! Oh no, a change in political leadership, who the frick even cares. People don't even know their Congress representative anymore. Now, it may have resulted in some unwelcome changes in tax policy, but that's not the end of the world, either.
I watched all Saw movies in order a while ago and I didn't specifically hate Spiral (Saw 9) but it somehow stuck to my eye how EVERY single cop in the movie always went alone to every place and then got kidnapped. I realize it's a meme and happens in other movies too all the time, but at least it's usually one stubborn and loner cop who does it and the rest of the cops at least try to work together.

You forgot how the helicopter failed to do anything because the pajeet CEO wanted to be a hero and do it himself even though he was still learning to pilot a helicopter and was even shown earlier in the film having problems keeping things stable.

Dawn of the dead
The decision to leave the mall for an uninhabited (?) island was dumb as hell, they where not 18 yo chasing a pipe dream of "living off their music", they where seemingly intelligent adults that went all in on an extremely low probability bet they could find something nicer.
The decision also suffered a lot from the fact they had knowledge that there where many (?) other survivors in the US and civilization wasn't wiped out (the mall cops watched some weird cowboy TV show that just killed zombies all day). Because an uninhabited island would just isolate them further.
A lot of the problems within the mall would also have been solved by them not being moronic e.g. kill each other over the stress of a zombie baby? Dog immortal, have to save the dog regardless. The whole conflict with the mall cops.
Almost all fictional stories ever written because their events are contrived in such ways that can illustrate themes important to the creator at the expense of realism.
Why did the Dog-Thing at the beginning of The Thing not simply lick every character's face, which it would know was completely ordinary behavior for a dog, thus infecting them all immediately? Because dipshit there needs to be a movie.

The main character being moronic and gay is what fuels the entire story and if he had simply just not been gay or moronic, or even chosen to stop being gay and moronic partway through, his life would not have spiraled out of control.
There's no real villain besides the main character's ability to keep making his own life worse without being forced to do so.
Going to the Winchester was the dumbest frickin idea they could've had and somehow every single person followed into that death trap. They all would have likely lived if they'd just stayed home and locked their doors

how so? the saiyins love fighting thing?
Yes, I don’t necessarily mind it since it’s established even in early dragon ball that Goku loves a good fight above everything else
>Gohan refusing to kill Dabura
>Vegeta letting Babidi control his mind
There’s so much more, but I don’t have hours of my life to write it all out
>Gohan refusing to kill Dabura
Gohan couldn't kill Dabura, Dabura was leading the entire fight and Goku starts revising his guess of Dabura's strength.
There was no point in the franchise moving on past Frieza
This is much less annoying and more believable than everybody being a brilliant detective and/or double crosser.
Dumb and Dumber. Also common in Looney Tunes and black tv shows, especially Sanford and Son. Genuinely funny when done right.
>Dumb and Dumber.
The guy would've gotten his reward money were it not for them.
So their involvement actually got him arrested and saved the day (even though they still wasted all the cash).
Dumb and Dumber, was a documentary. And it's events were portrayed, in real time.

The characters in Ghostbusters weren't idiots, and the plot would not be instantly solved if they were smarter.

the balloon would have been just as deadly, the entire thing was that it didn't matter what the form was
You really missed the point of the destroyer huh?

It's basically a film about a Black Swan event

Now that I think about it, all zombie movies revolve around an idiot plot.
28 weeks later come to mind as a true idiot plot.

the thing didn't infect a gay bawd dog
I thought the Thing needee to use its tentacles to infect
Why didn't you lick balls of everyone in the thread which you would know is completely ordinary behavior for you and dogs.
>thus infecting them
You clearly didn't see the movie
