Why is Stephen Fry treated like this massive intellectual authority on culture and history? He seems like nothing more than a random twat. Are proles just blown away by his posh accent?
>>220527072Being a baritone makes you a recognized expert on everything.
>>220527072It's a mixture of him having a 'posh' accent, having 'diverse' interests like 'technology' and being 'well read' while also being a massive fucking pedo but since he's a genuine gay child rapist, he's not seen as a 'threat' and can be pushed as 'based' Women love him for being a 'safe' big man since he's a flaming faggot child rapist. Nerds see him as 'ooh yaaaas kaweeeen read me my harry potter books' and QI was funny, albeit it was down to Alan just letting Stephen being a fucking retarded cunt
>>220527148Better start smoking then
>>220527072He's a gay jewish leftist, he's never been particularly intelligent. He was in a debate on the same side as Jordan Peterson years ago and didn't contribute anythingHe also did a speech where he said Brits don't have an identity but it's important they protect the jewish identity
why isn’t hugh laurie held in the same regard?
I used to read one of those RSS feeds that teach you one interesting factoid every day, I'm sure there are tons of twitter feeds doing the same now. If you're shameless and desperate for aura it's easy to shoehorn them into conversations, it blows people's socks off.
>>220527072I don't have an answer that's relevant to this board
>>220527072Baritone with British accent and charisma.
well well well I fuck your teenage son's face
>>220527219Because he's a good actor and not a faggot
>>220527219Not seen as the 'haha he's just like us' shit that Fry got in QIalso there was the documentary where Fry openly stated he'd bugger the younger boys in his boarding school after being buggered by the older boys and it was seen as 'stunning and brave' cause I got the depression don't I
>>220527250>charismaHe looks like a fucking slug
>>220527255I remember that greentext
>>220527250>British accentthat's not specific enoughscouse, mancunian, bristol, or brummy accents are also all british and instantly make you think the person speaking is a complete retard
>>220527072The British class system is comparable to the Indian caste system in how pervasive it is in their society. Truly backwards stuff.
>>220527269Raping each other at a boarding school is the teenage rite of passage in bongistan
>>220527447beats being shot by a troon with a machine gun I guess kek
the whole.John Lloyd crowd just knew the right people.Douglas Adams was the only good one, because he made stuff i like.
>>220527472>>220527447This is why leftists love this jewish millionaire?
gimme some real meat and potatoes, straight up and down, beef Wellington, "Don't trust the Argies!", dick in the twink, cheddar cheese, and chicken tikka masala man bong film recs /tv/
>>220527511But Douglas Adams also made Mostly Harmless, and that probably kept him out of heaven.
>>220527072he's retarded, but not as dumb as Christopher Hitchens
>>220528328i can forgive him wanking off Macs and Americans for a bit, since the first two novels were good.fuck it, Meaning of Liff too. some solid jokes in there. any single entry could be an internet-sweeping meme nowadays.
>>220528387Mostly Harmless was a book he didn't want to write, but he did it for the money. As weird as it got up to and including So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish; it was still clearly him in his element.
>>220527072He does have an Oxbridge education, so he's likely more knowledgeable about specific things like classics and literature than the average person.
You know how if you have a few thousand in the bank you're actually doing better than the majority of society? Because people in society are just that bad. If you read a couple actual books on a subject, you're now more intelligent on that subject than the vast majority of people. You really don't have to do a lot to beat the midwits on the bell curve. Stephen Fry is a smart person for midwits.
Stephen Fry knows how to read a book, whereas most actors and actresses aren't able to read anything more demanding than young adult fiction
Nicole Kidman is an aussie slag she's probably impressed by the intelligence of rocks
>>220527366low class "people" are human scum and deserve to be discriminated against
>>220527072He's also a faggot who dates young boys
>>220527072I mean he's written a bunch of books so
>>220528629credit where credit is due: i liked Mythos. i'm sure some dweeb is about to tell me it's wrong, but it was a good introduction, well-written and entertaining.The Ode Less Travelled was super annoying though. overly twee buklshit about how wonderful poetry is.
Scrumptious
>>220528438>>220529328He has a university education and is interested in the classics, but that is far from the '200IQ intellectual' some people seem to ascribe to him.
>>220529428It's the best you'll get in popular culture as the intersection of telegenecity and being a legitimate intellectual leaves us with rather few individuals.
