The Tokyo Shock Boys are the only professionally dopey troupe on our world tour of stupidity. You see, you're not allowed to be stupid on the streets for free in Japan - but charging admission apparently gives you carte blanche to eat scorpions, drink beer through your nose and eat dry ice.

Some of the most cerebral stupidity comes to us from Oz courtesy of the Pickled Eggs. The thinkers - and we're using that term very loosely here - of the lot, they aim for more than cheap thrills with their antics.

Translated into English, Brazil's N.O.I.A.'s name means "our stupid organization rules." Well at least they've got the stupid part down.

Canada's stupid troupe has perhaps the most fitting name for the kind of people who will voluntarily wreak havoc on a ski hill and film it for sport - Boner. All from skateboarding and snowboarding backgrounds, Boner makes an annual trip to the famous Canadian Rockies and mayhem usually follows.

From Russia with love - and if by love you mean 40 syringes in your butt - come the Debloids. Taking stupidity to the former Soviet bloc, freedom to these pranksters means setting blankets on fire while people are sleeping in them, hammering nails into their friends' hands and sticking sausages in their nether regions.
