Science of Stupid is a comedic television series on the National Geographic Channel. The British version of the show was initially hosted by Richard Hammond, later replaced by Dallas Campbell.[1][2] Localised versions are produced in other territories with hosts such as Seth Herzog in the United States, later replaced by Ben Aaron,[3] Manish Paul in India,[4] Ramon Bautista in the Philippines[5] and Ymke Wieringa in the Netherlands. Versions are also broadcast in Latin America (one in Argentina and other in Mexico, with the same title), Brazil and Germany. The first episode aired on 21 July 2014. The second season of the show debuted on 2 March 2015, and the National Geographic Abu Dhabi Arabic Version are produced in other territories with hosts such as Fadi Shams in Middle East aired on 2018.

In each episode, viral videos where the subjects typically take on dangerous or silly activities and end up inflicting unintended physical self-harm are analyzed in a comedic way for their underlying scientific principles. The series takes these clips as cautionary tales and real world examples of actions that should not be repeated by the audience.

Localised versions of the series utilize the same viral videos, however the hosts, language, references, and jokes differ by country.
