**Dummkopf**, sometimes spelled as **Dumbkopf** or **Dummbkopf**, is a bean who got electrocuted while trying to pull out a toast out with a fork.

## About

Dummkopf was named after his great grandfather, who enjoyed bomb disposal as a hobby. His name is German and roughly translated means someone who puts a fork in a toaster without pulling the plug out first. He is distantly related to Hapless, who also likes to prod dangerous things.

## Appearance

Dummkopf appears to be a neon pink capsule-shaped bean. After his toaster accident, he loses all of his skin, and therefore turns into a skeleton.

## In the music video

Dummkopf is seen holding a toaster with a fork right in front of him, and then lifts it up like in the picture above and gets electrocuted. After so, his burnt flesh falls to the ground, revealing his skeleton. He is a Secondary Dancer, just like Lax, Doofus, and Mishap.

## Game

### Dumb Ways to Die

Dummkopf can be unlocked for the player's Train Station, as the 4th bean to arrive at the train station in both versions. In older versions of Dumb Ways to Die, the player have to score 400 pints to get him, which is nothing compared to the 80000 points required to unlock him in the newer versions. He is also the 18th thing to be unlocked in newer versions.

#### Fork Folly

The player must carefully remove a piece of toast with a fork without touching the sides. If you win, he will get his toast so that he does not get electrocuted. Failure results in his electrocution.

#### Electro-Cute

As part of the second update, he has a new game. This game requires you to prevent appliances from falling into the sink where he is washing dishes. If any of the appliances touch the sink, Dummkopf gets electrocuted again. If you win, he gets a piece of toast and eats it.

#### Flippin' Out

Dummkopf has a summer minigame where the player has to flip the patties to keep them from burning. If you win, he sits down serving burgers with a bunch of other kitchen appliances and receives another piece of toast. Otherwise, he becomes a skeleton again.

#### Crocodile Conundrum

Dummkopf has a fourth minigame where he is swimming with a Crocodile in India. The player must tap as fast as they can to get Dummkopf to outrun the crocodile. If you win, the crocodile kisses Dummkopf, and Dummkopf gets pleased. If you don't tap fast enough or not tap at all, Dummkopf gets scared by a huge crocodile that eats him, resulting in failure, making this the first mini-game where he does not turn into a skeleton in failure.

### Dumb Ways to Die 2: The Games

Dummkopf is seen when Loopy wins the mini game of Run From the Goblins in The Winter Mini Games. In the superhero-themed update, he is seen as one of the heroes.

### Dumb Ways to Die 3: World Tour

He is available in Dumb Ways to Die 3, and can be obtained through gifts. His ability is named "shocking", and makes Dummkopf a 10% token multiplier.

### Dumb Ways to Dash!

Dummkopf can be obtained in Dumb Ways to Dash!.

### Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes

Dummkopf was originally going to be in Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes (according to a TikTok trailer), but was removed before the launch of the game, alongside Putz and Simpleton.

## Deaths

* Christmas post: Electrocuted again, this time by Christmas lights.

## Trivia

* His name and gender was revealed by his plush's product name and his plush information.
* Dummkopf (pronounced: [ˈdumkɔp͡f]) means 'stupid head' in German. For laughs, the shop page jokes its rough translation as "someone who puts a fork in a toaster without pulling the plug out first", implying the hint of stupidity.
* Dummkopf is one of the pink characters. the other pink characters are Stumble, Bungle, and Dippy.
* Dippy's skeleton is shown, and so is Dummkopf's skeleton.
	+ Coincidentally, they are both pink.
* Physically speaking, Dummkopf should not have been electrocuted, because the walls of a toaster have a heating element that does not conduct electricity well (being a partial resistor.)
* According to an early concept art of *Dumb Ways to Die*, he has ear-like protrusions on his head similar to those of Dimwit.
	+ Coincidentally, they both die from electricity.
	+ Both are Group Two Characters.
* While Dippy's transverse processes are seen in his lower skeletons, Dummkopf's transverse processes aren't seen.
	+ This was corrected in Deck the Halls.
* According to the shop page, Dummkopf was named after his great grandfather, who enjoyed bomb disposal as a hobby. Dummkopf is also said to be distantly related to Hapless, who also likes to prod dangerous things.
* His name was spelled as Dum**b**kopf in the list of characters and their names in the official DWtD Facebook page. However, the page admin has confirmed that Dum**m**kopf is right.
	+ After their confirmation, his name was spelled differently again by Dum**mb**kopf in the Shop.
* It is possible to hear his voice in *Dumb Ways to Die - Watch out for slippery surfaces* when he sneezes.
* In Deck the Halls, he blinks a few times, despite of being a skeleton that doesn't have eye muscles nor eyeballs.
	+ Also in said video, he is missing his patella bones.
