9 Famous TV Villains You Didn't Realise Were Complete Morons

8. Angel's Gypsies (Buffy: The Vampire Slayer)

The gypsies are the brilliant people who cursed Angelus for killing their gypsy princess. They wanted him to suffer eternally so they thought up an incredibly dumb curse. Don't think it's dumb? Well, think about it. They curse Angel with a soul that can be forfeited if he ever experiences one moment of pure happiness. Then the dimwits they never tell him the condition under which he can keep the soul. As it turns out, pure happiness can be gained through sex. Angel is a guy. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? Of course Angel was going to lose his soul. He was a man and a pretty hot one at that! Most men are not voluntarily celibate and by not telling him the condition there was no reason for him not to have sex. So he has sex with Buffy, a vampire slayer no doubt, and turns evil. The curse works! Yeah, but now we have this maniac on the loose and while the curse has a provision for automatically taking the soul, it doesn't have a provision to en-soul him again. That's just plain dumb €“ why not just give him a permanent soul or if revenge is really all that important, provide a way for his ensoulment again in case he slipped up?
