Too Dumb to Live/Playing With

Basic Trope: Someone does something stupid, and it leads to his/her death or serious injury.
 * Straight: Alice kicks a crocodile. The crocodile ate Alice as a result.
 * Exaggerated: Alice kicks a T.rex baby while its parents are around. The results are predictably gory.
 * Downplayed: Alice kicks a crocodile. She gets maimed and ends up in a hospital.
 * Justified:
 * Alice believes crocodiles are very slow, as seen in many media.
 * Alice is stoned.
 * Alice has a dead wish.
 * As a kid, Alice saw people holding fire, kissing snakes, and getting eaten by bread. She can no longer tell what is safe or what is dangerous.
 * Inverted: Violation of Common Sense
 * Subverted: Alice kicks a sleeping crocodile. It doesn't wake up.
 * Double Subverted: Then Alice gloats about how brave she is to her friends hiding nearby. The crocodile wakes up and eats her.
 * Parodied: Alice sees a pit filled with spikes, fire, sawblades, crocodiles, and angry kittens with a large neon sign reading "INSTANT DEATH" hanging above it. She turns toward the screen, says "What's the worst that could happen?" and jumps in.
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: Alice has enough common sense not to do things that will obviously kill her.
 * Enforced: Alice is a very unpopular character, so the producers decide to have her Killed Off For Real.
 * Lampshaded: "It occurs to me that kicking this crocodile probably isn't good for my health."
 * Invoked: Cassie dares Alice to kick the crocodile. Alice gets eaten.
 * Exploited: Cassie does so to have Bob all to herself.
 * Defied: Cassie stops Alice from kicking the crocodile and explains to Alice clearly why it is not a good idea.
 * Discussed: "The way Alice behaves around dangerous animals, she won't live very long."
 * Conversed: "Alice kicked a crocodile in last week's episode. No prizes awarded for guessing what happens next."
