Nerdy Character Grows A Pair

In some movies, usually comedies, or action/comedies, a nerdy character exists that continually gets ridiculed, mocked, and humiliated yet keeps quiet out of fear of retaliation or other reasons. Usually 3/4 through the movie, an opportunity opens up for the nerdy character to seek revenge and he takes it, usually in the form of some type of physical violence or by some device he invents which he uses against his antagonist that is unexpected.
