Start your #Tuesday off with some spot on commentary about #BoobsOnTheGround and Faux news in general by one of the best comedians of all time, Monty Python’s John Cleese.
In a Q&A video, Cleese said, “I think the problem with people like this is that they are so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are.”
“If you’re very, very stupid,” he says, “How can you possibly realize that you’re very very stupid? You’d have to be relatively intelligent to realize how stupid you are.”
He cited some research by David Dunning at Cornell. He says that Dunning has pointed out that knowing how good one is at something “requires exactly the same skills as it does to be good at that thing in the first place.”
“If you’re absolutely no good at something at all,” Cleese says, “then you lack exactly the skills that you need to know that you’re absolutely no good at it.”
“And this explains not just Hollywood,” Cleese concludes, “But almost the entirety of FOX News.”

I would only add "meaningless" to your already astute conclusion. +Gus Perez

Liberal jerk-off.
A minute of my life I'll never get back.
Very funny and not so surprising scientific conclusion.
That doesn't make any sense. I don't have any musical skill what so ever, I can't even play the triangle but I know I'm terrible at it so am I missing something?
say the guy who married how many times already? Alimony tour anyone? he's funny but I would not take advice from him: he's just a brilliant clown after all
Had they known they were stupid they would have
definitely committed" suicide " the least to say.
We should absolutely listen to every word he has to say.
He's an actor – and obviously knows what's really going on…..
SMH…..
I love the guy. I mean..he is Nearly Headless Nick and a host of other memorable characters but this is just sad. The truth in what he said is self-evident but is universally applicable and has nothing to do with politics or any network. To single out Fox sort of illustrates the truth in what he is saying. That is sad and humorous at the same time.
Who's John Cleese?
& Monty Python?
If you're serious Christopher then I suggest you google both and discover some of the best comedy ever conceived.

+Phil McCallister I rather got the impression that he was applying it to FOXPAC viewers, not merely the propaganda network itself.

Tell me about it. Lacking in an understanding of personal space, a rumour doesn't mean it's reality etc.
Having lived in the Middle East and parts of Europe I find the UK particularly bad in the area of 'we don't know we are stupid'' etc.
If I hadn't been born in the UK and need it for my medication, I'd be living somewhere else, so don't think that the John Cleese item is devoid of reality!!
U are all stupid if ur actually arguing about this.
Lol
I love how people try to use liberal on my posts as if I'd find that offensive. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liberal
Not quite. If you have to live amongst people who don't know they are stupid to the point were they become offensive to you, it is a matter to be discussed.
Ha
I'm going to leave this right here to chew on. From the "liberal" news site FORBES:

So very true. Fox news is pathetic!
Brilliant
Actors and comedians. Smh. Now that's a group that lives in reality..

+Grant Buckley You should be ashamed of yourself using our country&slagging it off…My brother is the same he has spent years abroad(pretending he's living in Coventry) while abusing our benefits system(sick pay)&healthcare….In the last few years he has worked illegally here& while earning very high wages still got benefits….. Even got through a ESA tribunial by acting more sick than he is(the Governments fault&genuinely very ill people are people have suffered hell, so that exercise failed)
Hiii
FOX News is bought and paid for political CRAP. John Cleese is the Man!
As for the video I laughed my head off good comedy 🙂
very funny video
could anyone tell me why that video was so funny I lol. I mean who made or posted that video.I still laughing my butt off.
Ouch!
+Jason Taylor Yet some, typically using a Faux News soundbite, love to accuse Liberals of being "low information voters". I'm originally from the south and I've seen "low information voters". They aren't Liberals. Btw, conservatives please stop referring to anyone closer to the center than John McCain a Liberal. It makes you sound uninformed.
To be fair, all parties in the political spectrum have the uninformed component. I know some horribly misinformed liberal types as well. Corporate news sure doesn't help.

+Siphosethu Makhwela hi
+J K Smith That statement is more iidioticthan most Fox News sound bites.
+ben east Based on his career and that fact that I don't know who the hell you are, that you have 8 followers, and that you have no posts I'd say he's got hell-a-more-comedy cred than you. How about you STFU.
+Jason Taylor Are you trying to make my point? That "liberal" outlet called Forbes states that the Fox News viewers are uninformed. If you're trying to say so are MSNBC viewers I won't argue; I'd likely throw CNN viewers in the mix too. However, that article very plainly backs up the assertion that Fox News viewers are so stupid they don't know they're stupid.
Liberals are the fucking retards guy.

The truth is he is absolutely correct !there is such a study called the Dunning Kruger effect and most of the world is afflicted with this problem !
It is very common among criminals where the think they are smarter than the Law
Or smarter than everyone else they over estimate themselves
This guy proves that if you saw it on the internet it must be true. Like getting your stock tips from Strongbad.
You're right +David Nighswander; it's just like that. Actually, no… it's not. Maybe it's like how if you read it in an incoherent book that makes ridiculous claims that god must exist then it must be so. No, actually that'd be dumb too. The difference is that this was said by a living person and the other was all made up.
I have many times come across people who are so stupid they aren't aware of it and actually think they are really smart !
Hei
Case and point… this post
probably doesn't make much of a difference anyway.
His comming across like Graham Chapman(king Arthur) riding his fake horse assuming no one can challenge (point of views or the information ) the black night.
tell me Paul, how does calling people stupid adhere to any classical definition of liberalism? Wasn't there a time when liberals stood for free speech instead of shouting down people they disagree with? Engaging in debate rather than name calling? If you truly are a Liberal you would respect that not all reasonable people see things the same way. I think posts like this give liberalism a bad name. Not that it needs much help in that regard…

+Alex Phifer I didn't say it had anything to do with liberalism. I never said anything of the sort. Someone said this was "liberal drivel" and I replied with a definition of liberal and pointed out that using that as an offensive thing, based on the definition shared, is sort of silly as I don't find those things offensive. I'm very cool having dialog on subjects that I don't agree with; I figure I'll change their mind, they'll change theirs, or at the very least we'll each shore up our arguments. That said, you seem to confuse reasonable people with those who watch Fox News as anything more than commentary (same for MSNBC). While I'm at it… did you really just say that I'm not liberal because I called out people for things I disagree with while simultaneously calling me out because you disagree with my way of disagreeing?

Your so stupid for just making this stupid. who gave you the right to say someone is stupid. You think your better cuzz your bank account is big. And you can make some people do what you say. I'll let you think I'm stupid cuzz I don't them. Weak minded. .

This man looks like a reincarnation of my late Father, Clifford E. Jackson. Born December 12, 1909 died February 1988. He shared this thinking on stupidity.
So much stupidity in the world that the only ones denying its existence are those with that social problem. Note this Jose Reyes.
Jim, The U.S. Government is a must to be included in this travesty. Obama is the head honcho in fueling the fire of stupidity which is gobbled up by the stupid citizens.
Yes, the youngest ever editor of the Harvard Law Review is stupid. Please list your credentials for making such a judgement.

+RAMBOSTRIKES Yes !
+Bill Smith It is not a case weather to believe it or not ! there is an indepth long term scientific study done by two pycology majors from a prominent US University to prove this theory and it is recognised and is known as the " Dunning Kruger Effect " it is fact !
according to science OK !
Why do people get offended by this and call him names. He's expressing his opinion. You have your own opinion which is good so share it in a constructive way
Brad and Chris are right. Wake up America, as Earl Pitts says.
+Calis Bruckmann This is not his " John Cleese " opinion he is talking about what i just described the "dunning Kruger effect " and yes he agrees with it ! thats all !
Bad mouths, you are prime evidence of stupidity. It is for real.
