I wouldn't really say "dumb" and "bad" are the same thing, dumb is more that the game does weird and stupid things for no reason. Dumb often does lead to bad though.
Dumb game that I actually like: Deadly Premonition
Actually a pretty good game, and the dumb weirdness is part of it's charm. It's clunky, awkward, and has way too many game mechanics resulting in a lot of them having no depth, but it's fun and strangely captivating. Also there's a stat penalty for not getting your clothes washed called "stinky agent" and a bonus for shaving regularly: 'nuff said.
Dumb game that's horrible: Chulip
I don't actually own this game, but a friend of mine picked it up a while back after we saw it on Game Grumps and we played it. It's awful. The plot is weird, makes no sense, and has you go through hell and back for a girl that doesn't like you, but the game design is what's really terrible. You will die if you don't know what your doing, which you won't since you would never consider doing them in the first place. It's like a point and click adventure game, but rather than cartoony logic, there just isn't any logic. It's honestly painful, and losing your progress over randomness is honestly frustrating. It's definitely one of the weirdest and dumbest games I've played, but it's also really terrible. Who would've thought playing a game about a little boy trying to make out with onion women, dogs, and his crush's parents would be a bad idea?
