Horrible Bosses (2011)

Stupidity: After Harkin says he isn't going to pour the scotch back into the bottle, Nick decides to chug the glass, spilling it down his chest in the process. It's an idiotic thing to do - if he'd taken two large gulps, the scotch would be gone (and he could relatively easily get some chewing gum/mouthwash to remove the smell from his breath). Instead, he decides to chug the scotch, spilling it down his shirt. Having clothes stinking of alcohol is much harder to hide in the office.

Baywatch Nights (1995)

Takeover - S1-E11

Stupidity: Nicki's plan to blow up the boat - when she has no way of getting off it and safely back to land - is monumentally stupid.

Blood Diamond (2006)

Stupidity: Captain Poison has a fairly good idea of where Solomon buried the diamond. We know this since when he leads the captured Solomon to the spot, there are already several holes dug looking for it. Despite knowing roughly where the diamond is - down to a relatively small area - he makes no serious effort to excavate the ground, instead contenting himself with a handful of incredibly shallow holes.
