Its summit is higher than man or god has yet explored! Hahahahahahaha!"

Fighter (8-Bit Theater) is able to play a game of Drown Ball in which the rules state the players are supposed to drown, but Fighter....
...is so unaware of his limitations, that not only does he play the game while wearing heavy metal armor, but he manages not to drown, even without holding his breath.
Stanley Laurel (Laurel and Hardy) is so spectacularly ignorant of... well... common sense that he can even use his own thumb as a smoking pipe without any ill effects. The same can't be said for Ollie.
Hitomi Mishima (Hinamatsuri) went from a simple middle-school student, to a part-time bartender that somehow managed to gain high level connections to every level of authority and government in the country of Japan, all the way to the point...
...of becoming the CEO to the very company her own father works at, all without even trying or realizing it happened.
Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)
By turning his anger into power, Goku Black (Dragon Ball Super) was able to form his Sickle of Sorrow to slash open a hole in reality itself, an act that even he didn't know he was capable of.
