After getting whacked by a truck while bicycling last fall ('20), I had a lot of injuries and a lot of downtime.
After watching so many law & orders (all varieties), criminal minds, etc. Ad nauseam that I could quote them by heart, I found this 'old' gem by accident.
Yes, there's some simpleton humor, but there's also the comedic genius, tone, and timing of Billy Kimball, Mike Trainor, Chuck Nice, and Chelsea Peretti. Frank Stallone also adds a unique aspect to the show. They're all good! Special kudos to the unnamed voice talent who provide mock 'commentary'.
I'm glad that I found this, even if it was almost 10 years after it went off production.

Truly funny to watch the cast Mock and poke fun at themselves, and the videos. Especially, Loni, Todd, Brad, and Judy. Even Tonya was humerus.... not really sure how to finish that one. Lol.
Side note.... I think many of the fans would be just fine if Dustin Diamond wasn't hired back. When Frank Stallone is way funnier, perhaps you should consider a new line of work.
Just saying....

I've been watching World's Dumbest practically since it 1st aired.
While it's not 'high brow,' it IS funny. The old adage, that says you throw enough stuff at a wall, and something will stick, is true. Like a burlesque comedian, who just keeps spitting out jokes,the large cast provides enough material,that there's something EVERYONE will find funny.
My personal raves are (in alphabetical order); Danny Bonaduce, Todd Bridges, Judy Gold, Brad Loekle, and Chuck Nice. My absolute LEAST favorite is Frank Stallone (ugh!)
There are a bunch of 'one-offs' - people who appear for an episode, here and there,mso the cast is always interesting.
It's been a staple of mine, to watch World's Dumbest every Thursday night, before bed, for a number of years now.
It's the only thing on Tru TV that's watchable.

The best TV show I ever watched... Just too wonderful and hilarious.. very refreshing.. Still wonder how many dumb people are there out. Best episodes are criminals, lovers and another one is drivers ... Also, the show doesn't just concentrate on criminals. They also show people who do stupid things such as fighting, partying and just general idiotic behavior.. World's Dumbest is better than any Funniest Videos show I have ever seen. The comedians are for the most part funny, and although some are not, the show is always a joy to watch. Sadly not aired in India.. Wouldn't miss when i come to US.World's Dumbest is definitely a must-see and worth checking out if you're looking for something that makes you looks smart in comparison.

Nothing more fun than watching people crashing into walls, falling down stairs, breaking their arms and legs, and bleeding all over the place as the comedians make funny jokes about the tragic mishaps.
In the midst of all the "reality" drama programs on truTV that are, *ahem*, somehow based on actual events (Operation Repo, Hardcore Pawn, and now Bait Car), World's Dumbest stands out above them all. It essentially does its part by making mundane people look hilarious when they do stupid things. The show never fails to disappoint because of the different categories that degrees of stupidity can be demonstrated: Criminals, partiers, drivers, daredevils, record breakers and so much more.
The commentators are almost always on point and the fact that they have B-list celebrities that have had their own brushes with the law makes the show even more entertaining. It's interesting to see how Tonya Harding would react to an ice-related fiasco or Danny Bonaduce to a routine DWI arrest. The in-video comments are often well-acted, such as during a foiled bank robbery: "Yo, this is a stick-up! I have a finger in my pocket but it looks like a gun!"

I enjoy watching videos of people doing stupid things, and the collection compiled here is often fairly good. The narrator is just about acceptable, but the 'comedians' they feature are really the worst. I have never left a review before but I came here, half asleep, just for the purpose of writing this. The guests featured literally just say what they've seen.
I shall offer one example: In one clip, a man has left his dog in the car and the dog turned off the handbrake resulting in the car rolling away, much to the surprise of the car owner. This in itself is a reasonably funny clip, it is ruined by the terrible comments. The first comment was "dogs can't drive cars", the second comment was "if you're going to leave your dog in the car leave the window open, or tie it to a tree!". These comments were irritating enough, but then Judy Gold, who is without a doubt the most intolerable of them all, delivered a comedy gem by saying: "woof woof woof".
These quips are so meaningless and annoying that the program is ruined to the point where I would argue it is the worst program on TV.
Truel,y astonishingly awful.

I loved everything about this show including the self deprecating humor from the cast. But is it just me or was Daniel Baldwin the only one who never said a funny thing... Ever. He was the only one I hated. Bring it back minus Baldwin.

This program severely annoys me. When it's on my TV, I scram to my remote so fast to turn it off. The video clips could be funny if the annoying comedians would stop talking. I just saw a clip of a boy stuck in a toy car. The comedian said "I bet his friend is inside cooking with an easy bake oven" uhmmmm that is so not funny that it actually made me come here to leave a review. They have no emotion when they talk, their lines are cheesy or dont make any sense, or they just repeat what they've seen. This show is NOT original and is just a low quality wannabe version of Americas Funniest Home Videos or Ridiculousness. Dont waste your time watching this.

This has to be the best show on TruTV. It is probably the only show were you can look at people who are just as dumb as they are criminally minded. What really makes this show so good is the fact that they cast members who are notorious for doing some rather stupid things themselves (Danny Bonaduce, Tonya Harding and Leif Garrett) readily admit to their foibles as they constantly rip on the dumb criminals that constantly show up on the show. Also, the show doesn't just concentrate on criminals. They also show people who do stupid things such as fighting, partying and just general idiotic behavior. TruTV definitely has a winner with this show.
And make sure you have the same kind of background voices/voiceovers too. That was my most favorite part. I also loved the cast too, but I'm not sure if it would be the same if you brought them back.

I have probably watched every episode at least 5x each and it's hilarious every time. The commentators are what totally makes this show, their wit and humor is pure gold. The cream of the crop are John Enos (my personal favorite) Mike Trainor, Michael Loftus, Mike Britt, Kevin McCaffrey, Brad Loekle, Loni Love, Frank Stallone, Bryan Callen, Leif Garrett, Danny Bonaducci, Judy Gold, Jaimie Andrews, Brandon Walsh, Chuck Nice, Todd Bridges and yes even Tonya Harding. And having Gary Busey pop up every once and a while is such a treat. That's pretty much the whole cast which tells you this show is bursting with constant hilarity. It's brilliant and I only hope and pray they make some new episodes, bringing back most of these comedians because we need it especially in 2020! Please TruTV ...PLEASE!!!

Love the show. Please disregard negativity of others.! They are jealous. Carry on with the wonderfully insightful commentary.
I've been watching this show lately, and I must say that it is terrible. They show clips of dumb people, then have "comedians" interrupt the clip every 3 seconds to make jokes about it. The comedians constantly say lame, scripted lines.
A couple of them are almost funny, but 99% of the jokes are just cheesy and not funny at all, they're more annoying than funny. I think the show would be funnier if they just played the clips.
I guess this could entertain some, but it is just plain terrible in my opinion. I give it 2/10, and the 2 stars are just because they do show some good clips. But the clips are ruined for the most part by the constant cutting to the cheesy comedians.

The cast is wonderful and delightfully refreshing. Continue please. Ps frank stalone is so fine.
I am so sick of seeing this show when it comes on from 12 PM to 3 PM. I have never heard of any of these nobody "comedians" on this show. They're not funny and the constant cutting to them from the clips really gets on my last nerve, along with the mock commentary, which is unnecessary and annoying. The clips aren't that funny either.
And that's another thing: the clips. They constantly show people getting hurt and this is not right! You shouldn't poke fun at someone breaking their leg, or dislocating their thumb, or getting cut, or whatever! How is this allowed to be shown on TV??? And why are they still showing this even after they quit making episodes in 2014?
There are worse shows though, like Comedy Knockout and the Laff Mobb thing. Take this off now, truTV. This has got to stop.

World's Dumbest is better than any Funniest Videos show I have ever seen. The comedians are for the most part funny, and although some are not, the show is always a joy to watch. TruTV is becoming one of my favorite channels, and this show only proves that. The countdowns are a problem however, since a lot of the time it seems like they are really just in random order and not in order of how extreme they are, but still, it makes for a very entertaining hour. I hope to see more of World's Dumbest and this show could definitely give more shows of this kind a run for their money. See this TV show, and also, heck out Most Daring and Most Shocking as well

I used to hate this show then I started paying more attention to the comedians, and if you are in the right mood, it will make you laugh. Some of their comments and reproductions/imitations are hilarious!
Best three IMO:
Best: Impractical Jokers
2nd: World's Dumbest
3rd: Carbonaro Effect
Honorable mentions: Tacoma FD Some Fast Foodie episodes
Others that they need to cancel and go back to the drawing board: Big Trick Energy - waste of time to watch. "Look what I can do mom!" Type of acting.
Top Secret Videos - annoying and excessive laughter from the woman, I like the 2 guys in this in other shows but not in this one. Horrible commentaries.

This program is just horrible! Horrible horrible horrible!! Sorry, but there's just no way around it!
The "comedians" on this show are just awful!!! The ammmaaaaazing special effects *rolls eyes* just add to the crap. I have tried to give it a chance more than once, and I somehow feel embarrassed that have it playing on my television and into my home! The clips are amusing, but the commentary the washed up actors/celebrities and no-name unfunny comedians bring makes me want to smash my TV!
Please, if you see this program come onto your television....turn it off!!! Switch channels immediately!
For anyone working on this show, please look at your life choices and head in a different direction!!
