They all roughly mean the same thing, but "dumb" has a less severe connotation to it. ridiculous and absurd have more severity to their connotation.
so, "something dumb" isn't as bad as "something absurd/ridiculous."
Difference in the definitions would be something like:
dumb - something that's not intelligent or sensible.
absurd - astonishingly insensible or unbelievable
ridiculous - something that's illogical to the point where you could make fun of it.
