Stupid! is a comedy television series for children in the UK, broadcast first on CBBC, then on BBC1. It is written by Dean Wilkinson, who also wrote SMTV Live.

Plot

The show centres around the mythical King Stupid (Marcus Brigstocke, later Phil Cornwell), an immortal who is the instigator of all stupidity on Earth. King Stupid has files on every human and can make them behave as stupidly as his whim desires. He resides in his castle in the Ether World, a pan-dimensional realm home to many Deed Monarchs, each of which with different facet of human behaviour to rule over: Queen Sensible, King Angry, Count Cruel, and so on. The Ether World is also home to a myriad of ogres, imps, banshees, witches, and boggarts.

Stupid’s work is made all the more difficult by his annoying purple gremlin butler Goober, who goes out of his way to make the King’s life hell. The love-hate relationship between the King and Goober provide a sitcom element to the show with a self resolving story arc throughout each episode. The two main characters act like video jockeys introducing King Stupid's work on earth – the sketches – in which children and adults are manipulated into doing seemingly random and stupid acts for no apparent reason.

Other Deed Monarchs in the Show

King Wonderful-comes to stay at Stupid's castle during one episode, much to Stupid's annoyance. He is gotten rid of when Stupid invites King Angry, Wondeful's rival over. Goober puts him in the teleportation device, but instead of sending him back to his castle, he is sent to Earth. He is seen by a human and promptly turns into a tree.

Queen Shy-is only mentioned once, in the same episode as King Wonderful. He wishes to go to her castle when he finds out that King Angry is coming to visit.

King Angry-is only seen once, in the same episode as K. Wonderful and Q. Shy.

Count Cruel- Stupid's twin brother. Tries to kill Goober and take over the world. Sent to Earth and turned into a tree.

'''Queen Sensible''- Stupid's apparent rival. Oddly, she is turned into a tree during one episode, but appears again in her real form in the second series-(where she gets turned into a tree again)
