Bonehead | Dumb Ways to Die

Bonehead is a bean who impatiently drove around the boomgates at a level crossing and got run over by a train.

Bonehead loves his car and hates trains. That's because he's always in a hurry and hates waiting around for things. He believes that patience isn't a virtue; it's a waste of time. "Why can't HURRY UP be a virtue?" he says. Needless to say, when he's faced with the boom gates at a level crossing his impatience gets the better of him – and so does the 145-ton train.

Bonehead appears to be a green, oval-shaped bean with shading around his eyes. After his death, he is almost cut into three pieces. Some glass (from the window) and a wheel, all from his car, are stuck inside him. In the old ending, he wore head bandages (possibly because of the injuries he recieved from the crash).

In the video, Bonehead is seen waiting at the boom gates upset. He then gets an idea, his face turns into a mischevious smile and he then drives around them quickly. But just after he drives around them, he notices a train coming to hit him, much to his shock. The train hits him, pushing his car and killing him. In the chorus, he is a Standard Dancer, but doesn't fully follow it, due to landing in the chorus after Stumble, and after the start.

Spelling Bean Unlocked by default

In this minigame, you have to spell PATIENCE so Bonehead will wait at the train by tapping the letters. The game will not allow the player to place letters in the wrong place. If successful, Bonehead will wait for the train to go by and then drive. If they don't finish spelling it or if they don't tap the letters at all, he will drive around the boomgates and get hit by the train just like he did in the video.

He and Knucklehead are similar in many ways. Both are impatient. Both have similar minigames (taking only Bonehead's first and second minigames into consideration). Both were hit by a train. Both are green. Both of their names end with the word "head" and start with other body parts, and are named after slang terms of stupidity. Both are oval-shaped. He is one of four beans that have been removed from DWtD3, the others being Dimwit, Doomed, and Ninny. Coincidentally, all four of these characters are the even numbers of their groups. He, Putz and Reite in his violet form all have a similar dark spot above their eyes. In an early storyboard, he didn't have the darker spot above his eyes, and had no mouth. Bonehead is the only Group 5 character without a Europe minigame. His name was approved by Ms. Waymark, the General Manager of DWtD series. His gender was revealed in his plush information. He is obviously not waiting. This was confirmed by the shop page, citing that he is always in a hurry and hates waiting around for things. He believes that patience isn’t a virtue - it’s a waste of time. If one looks closely in the music video, when he falls during the final chorus, he has no arms until he lands. Another close detail is that during the final pause, Bonehead, Putz and Stumble all tap their feet to the tune of the song, most likely referencing Bonehead's impatience, or Stumble's love for music. In the old ending, Bonehead looked at Stumble sadly. He is frequently used as the mascot for St. Patrick's Day in Dumb Ways to Die. In Dumb Ways to Dash, his model shows him back together, although his picture in the characters section shows him in pieces. Bonehead's steering wheel is very inconsistent, being seen without the connecting lines to the center in the Daily Challenge screen, with 3 in the chorus of the original video, and with 1 in the app. In the song, he is the only green character who is not capsule-shaped. In his NFT, the steering wheel in his head is not present. There's a meal named after him in Dumb Ways to Survive, that being "Bonehead Bamboo Salad". He is the only character from group five who does not appear in Happy Train Friends. However, Lumpy suffers the same fate in the episode.

Bonehead's Car is the vehicle that Bonehead drove around the boomgates with. The car's appearance is a regular blue car with grey lights. The lights may be off, though.
