Historians consider the 1895 short film L'Arroseur Arose, directed by film pioneer Louis Lumière, to be not only the first comedy in cinema's history but the first film to use a fictional narrative.

The plot of the 45 second film is thus: a gardener waters his plants with a hose, a young boy steps on the hose, the gardener looks into the end of the hose to investigate, the boy removes his foot from the hose, the gardener is sprayed in the face, the boy runs.

I assume it is about image, and probably a huge ego. They want to be seen as the hero type.

So yeah, dumb indeed.

edit to add Jason Statham to the list.
