Simply Dumb

We all like humor, don’t we? Smart humor, dumb humor, silly humor. It all has its place at one point or another.
Since we love to make fun of things here at Simply Dumb, we love hearing comedians make fun of things, too. And here’s where you come in.
We’re going to give away our review copy of The Best of Comedy Central Presents II – Uncensored dvd. It has some great comedians including Dave Attell, Frank Caliendo, Stephen Lynch, and Daniel Tosh. (Others featured: Mike Birbiglia, Zach Galifianakis, Patton Oswalt, and Nick Swardson.)
And get this – it’s uncensored! No annoying bleeps, …read more

To enter the Hall of Lame, it is necessary to screw up really badly. Worse than anyone has before. So we think it only fitting that our first nominee is the worst team in the history of professional football.
The Detroit Lions managed to go 0-16, a feat never, ever before accomplished in the National Football League. There have been some bad, bad teams in the NFL. And I know, I’m a New Orleans Saints fan and many of them have been ours. But nobody until Detroit ever found a way to lose all 16 …read more

It is going to be hard to pick out the biggest dummy. But that’s why we have help from you readers. In 2009, Simply Dumb will open its inaugural class in the Hall of Lame.
The nomination process begins as soon as you finish reading this sentence. Obviously everyone that’s been featured for their dumb exploits on our blog is eligible. But we’re certainly not limiting it to stories we’ve covered. You can nominate celebrities that just don’t get how privileged they are, athletes who ran the wrong way for a touchdown, or any of the numerous …read more

                                                                    And it doesn’t matter which side you support: McCain/Palin, Obama/Biden or that write-in campaign you started for Joe The Plumber. In voting,we have a precious right that a lot of people around the world are envious of.
Around here, we get to poke fun at the political process (and about a million other crazy things) because unlike in a lot of countries, they can’t put us in front of a firing squad for doing so.
They say that if you don’t vote, you don’t have the right to complain. Now as bloggers, we’d like to say that you always have the …read more

Have you ever encountered something or someone so utterly dumb the achievement should be honored? We agree. Dummies do so much to enrich our lives by providing sterling examples of how not to behave.
We think Simply Dumb is not sufficiently complete without an establishment to enshrine those who prove time and again that there is no cure for the human condition. We’ll be telling you more as we finalize the details. And rest assured this will be interactive.We’re seeking nominations from our readers in addition to the ones Becky and I will be bringing forth. Dummies, keep being dumb …read more

It’s perhaps the most important issue facing our nation today and sadly it has gone unreported by much of the national media and ignored in the current presidential campaign.
It’s the pressing (or unpressed) issue of saggy pants. The debate erupted again on our comment boards here.  As reported by SOHH, Palm Beach Circuit Court Judge Paul Moyle has declared that state’s law against sagging pants unconstitutional. His lifting the ban comes a week after a teenager spent a night in jail for his sagging pants.
Cities including Dallas and Atlanta are discussing banning sagging pants and Dallas officials have even …read more

Simply Dumb has bowed to the ever-increasing pressure of social media and joined Facebook. Please run over, join and be our friends. We’re not needy or anything. But we did bake you a pie so you’ll like us. Right now, we’re busy doing your laundry. And we won’t judge you for having the Spongebob Squarepants undergarments, we swear.
What’s that, you say? Restraining order? Now that’s a little harsh. Although not the first time it’s been discussed. Really, we just wanted Gallagher’s autograph. Is that so wrong?

Now that I’m getting the hang of things around here, I’ll introduce myself. My name is Becky Scott. I’m a writer, editor, and photographer living in San Diego, California. Also? A consummate smart-aleck.
I’m originally from southern Missouri, so I have a special interest in all of the dumb things that originate in the South. We’ve decided that most of them either start with a dare or “Hey y’all, watch this!”
We enjoy our readers, so don’t be afraid to say hello or just chat in the comments. If you see something interesting, or would like to hear our take on something, …read more

My name is Humpty, pronounced with an Umpty… no, not really. For some reason I’ve always wanted to say that and I can’t do it at Simply Dumb, where could I?
My actual name is Brian Allen, I’m a writer (You’re probably relieved by that fact, since you’re reading my work) and standup comic based in Cedar Hill, TX. That’s just south of Dallas. As a journalist it’s come to my attention there’s a great deal of dumb stuff going on in the world. If humankind is devolving around us out there, we should at least have a record of …read more
