chuckleheads

Dimwitted goofballs collectively

Chuckleheads is a playful insult for stupid or foolish people.

The word is old-fashioned and mild, more affectionate than cutting—something you'd call friends who made a dumb mistake: Those chuckleheads locked themselves out again.

It carries the same gentle mockery as blockheads or boneheads.
