This iconic clip features legendary Monty Python co-founder John Cleese during a 2001 interview for the BBC documentary series 'The Human Face.' In the scene, Cleese elegantly breaks down the psychological phenomenon where individuals lacking competence also lack the cognitive ability to recognize their own incompetence. He famously quips that the problem with stupid people is that they are 'so stupid that they have no idea how stupid they are.' The meme has become the gold standard for expressing intellectual frustration in digital discourse. It is frequently used to dismiss bad takes on social media, highlight political absurdity, or vent about coworker incompetence. The clip represents the universal feeling of talking to a 'brick wall' and is a staple for reacting to the Dunning-Kruger effect in real-time. Example captions include: 'Me reading the replies under a viral tweet,' 'When you explain the rules for the fifth time,' and 'Arguing with someone who thinks the Earth is flat.'
