The Stupids are a fictional family that appear in a series of children's books written by Harry Allard and James Marshall. The Stupids draw their humor from the fact that they are incompetent to the point of confusing the most simple concepts and tasks.

Film version

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". In 1996, a film version was released starring Tom Arnold, directed by John Landis. The film details the family's pursuit of their trash, which they believe to be stolen, and the "conspiracy" they uncover in the process. The film was a box office failure; it was also widely panned by film critics and audiences alike.
