Fight Club wins again

Fighting Club is actually clever because he's mental because he's not mental because he's mental so it's clever.

So can someone who isn't smug here tell me something that is clever stuff for clever people?
Math. Not simply putting it as a word on a hat.

well... Chris Morris?

A lot of people think of Chris Morris as just another comic though, albeit one of the best, and don't seem to have learned that much from him. But then that's more a matter of thinking than cleverness.

I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays.You can't  go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an  absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left.

Baby Einstein etc. CDs full of basic classical music, because stupid parents think that a caricature of refinement is what it means to be intelligent. Basically they saw Dr. Frasier Crane and thought they could force their baby to be that.

He looks amazingly Rees-Moggian in this pic, which joins it nicely back to the topic.

I'd say he looks like an evil Kyle Maclachlan after a bad nose job.

A hint of Lieutenant Commander Data about him.

classical music that you're supposed to despise if you want to be considered clever.

The 'hits'. Incredible music of course, popular for a reason, but when selected exclusively suggests cultural posturing.

Foodie culture. The Proust bullshit, the history be etc.
I'd also say put that, 'You can really learn about a culture through their food' shit in too. Also when did Chef become a honorific title?

In the Lenny Henry vehicle 'Chef!'

Yes Chef!

Do people think Breaking Bad is clever? I think it's enjoyable but it's hardly deep.

"He's really clever the way he does all that stuff with the science isn't he?"

For the record, I like Breaking Bad and the stuff he does with the science.

I think Fight Club and Rick and Morty are reasonably clever things that have been misappropriated by stupid people to be almost completely the opposite of what the original intent was

watching documentaries
reading books
learning things in general

grow up dumasses and get with the program. the only smart thing to do is stagnate.
