Die Doofen ("The Stupids") was a German comedy musical duo consisting of comedians Wigald Boning and Olli Dittrich.

The band was formed in 1992 under the name Wigald Boning & Die Doofen, but split up after their debut album.

[1] Their single "Mief" ("Stink") was also a number one hit in their native country.

Boning and Dittrich split up again in 1998 in the last episode of RTL Samstag Nacht with a parody of the song "Time to Say Goodbye".

Fans started a petition called "Wir wollen die Doofen" ("We want The Stupids") in 2010 aiming to reunite the band.
