Despite being a complete dolt in most fields (to the point that he didn't even know what marriage was), Son Goku (Dragon Ball series) is hailed as a natural born martial arts prodigy and masterful combat genius.
Despite being so stupid that he once forgot how to sit down, Peter Griffin (Family Guy) has shown a wide variety of skills in music, combat, and engineering.

Philip J. Fry (Futurama) has a handful of genuine talents peppering his otherwise frightfully idiotic "brain"....
While seen as the dumbest among Berk's riders, Tuffnut Thorsten (How to Train Your Dragon) has surprising skill and talent in a number of various things, like interpreting abstract puzzles, working with fabrics, stone sculpting with Barf and Belch's gas and various other things, implying that he is not dumb so much as a savant in various unconventional ways.
While having the one of the lowest intelligence stats amongst his generation of military commanders and lack of proper education due to his former life as a slave, Ri Shin (Kingdom) is a natural born martial arts genius, an intricate user of the fly military tactics, and one of the greatest Instinctive Generals in the Qin Military.

Spinister (The Transformers More Than Meets The Eye) is a delusional paranoiac who floats between acting like a child and acting like a mentally ill adult who suffers from violent outbursts...
