Dumb and Dumber

Two morons travel

A 1994 comedy film starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as two spectacularly dim-witted friends.

The title has become a cultural shorthand for any pair displaying exceptional stupidity: Those two running the project are like Dumb and Dumber.

The phrase implies not just one foolish person but a compounding effect—each enabling the other's idiocy.
