Ouch! That's got to hurt!

### How Not to Catch a Baseball

Doofus makes his first appearance in this short, where after Stumble hit the baseball with a baseball bat in the Dumbville Park, here, he is having a nice walk, but suddenly spots something falling. He raised his hand as if he was trying to catch something with his bare hands, but the baseball that Stumble hit, hardly hits on Doofus' eye, causing him to have a black eye and having himself knocked out and falling to the ground, bloodily. The black eye that Doofus had swells up and pops out an eyeball with a fountain of blood before his eyeball lands into his eye socket.

Doofus also makes another appearance in this short, where he kicked the football from Dumbbell, resulting him to get killed by the football on a tree, Doofus tries kicking the football again, but this time hit soared into Doofus' head, and into a wasp nest, causing it to fall onto Doofus, who is hit in the head by the wasp nest that the football hit, resulting him to fall to the ground again.

## Trivia

* Doofus is the second yellow character, comparing to Hapless as the first yellow character in the Dumb Ways to Die Shorts series and in the official Dumb Ways to Die franchise ran by PlaySide Studios.
	+ Both Doofus and Hapless are similar, as they have both yellow oval-shaped bodies, both killed by animals (One for being killed by a bear, and the other for being killed by wasps,) and Hapless being a bit smaller, while Doofus is a bit bigger.
* In "Always Kick the Football", it's probably unknown if Doofus actually disturbed the nest of wasps, but it will be planned on a new short featuring Doofus himself.
	+ Just like in his line from the original Dumb Ways to Die music video, including his minigames from the Dumb Ways to Die app and two of his minigames from Dumb Ways to Die 4, in two versions of "Today's the last day of school!" and "Always Kick the Football", he gets attacked by wasps if the wasp nest falls.
* In "How Not to Catch a Baseball", Doofus' death and injury from the baseball is similar to to Flaky's death and injury from the first option "Catch" in her Baseball smoochie.
