Dunce isn't exactly the brightest when it comes to financial matters. He sold both his kidneys to solve his money problems, but he created a new one: death. As of December 31, 2015, he recorded the most notes on the Dumb Ways to Die Tumblr after Mishap (19,980 notes), and he is the favorite character of Ms. Waymark, the general manager of the DWTD series. A blue character with a somewhat slender build, he has stitch marks where his kidneys should be. He appears fourteenth in the original video. As seen in interview links, his official name was revealed early through Ms. Waymark's statements. In the video, he performs a strangely addictive dance, swaying his body to a steady beat while looking at banknotes; this dance is the primary secret to his fame. Perhaps because of this, he continues to dance during the chorus scenes. As a side note, considering the lyrics of his segment and the location of the surgical scars, it seems he sold his kidneys on the internet—both of them. That's likely why he holds cash while dancing. Thanks to such a creative way to die, he remains memorable to many.
