The 'Dumbest Man Alive' meme is a popular three-panel webcomic created by artist SrGrafo in 2019. It depicts a king who identifies himself as the most unintelligent person until he hears a statement from a passerby that is so profoundly foolish he yields his crown. The humor lies in the subversion of the 'Wise King' trope, replacing it with a hierarchy of stupidity. It is widely used across social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter to poke fun at bad takes, unpopular opinions, or illogical arguments by suggesting that the person speaking has surpassed all known levels of idiocy.
