It's a moment of acute dumb, often somewhat embarrassing.
Fangsie mentioned a good example in a scene in the movie Jumanji: A character is told that they need the axe from the shed, go get it! He does. The shed is locked. The door is wood. There's a hatchet nearby. He grabs the hatchet and starts hacking at the door with all he's got to break it open and get at the axe... Then stops, looks at the hatchet in his hand, has a moment of Durp, and runs back inside with it.

What does "derp" mean?
No, Google wasn't very helpful. Neither was UrbanDictionary. Or rather, I'm wondering how right my findings were.
