...I detested the way that character had to act stupid and be manipulative/sneaky in order to get what she wanted.

Add any other female character where the woman had to play dumb or was actually written to be not very bright.

Add Don Knott's portrayal of Barney Fife to my list, and Gomer and Goober. And pretty much anything played by Jerry Lewis.

It often seemed to me that Jerry Lewis was mocking people with physical and intellectual disabilities when he would don his oversized glasses and fake misaligned teeth.
