This basis for this thread is simple, who do you think the dumbest person of all time was/is?  The only rules are that the person cannot be a religious figure, and for all of our sanity..George Bush Sr. or Jr. or Al Gore.  Also to qualify the person must have been famous (so people know who you are talking about) so no "Cougar is teh dumdest of dem all times lllloooollll!!!!11" or "Dis kid James at my school cus he nvr getz questins write!!".

By the fifth page we will tally up the replies and see who BF2s thinks the dumbest person in history is.  You may only post up to three people per reply and duplicate people by the same poster will not count.  When the winner (err...loser) is decided, I will do something "special" to honor them.

Here are my candidates:

Mariah Carey

"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." - Mariah Carey

She also has a reputation for being psychotic and chronically stupid.  She bought a $8,000 couch that looks like shit because when it was in the showroom it had a red light above it and she thought it was red, when she got it home she found it was teal and then couldn't figure out where it came from and how it got in her "aquarium room".

Vincent Van Gogh

Yeah yeah, he was a famous painter and all that crap, but he managed to slice off his ear while painting (wtf?) and another time managed to swallow his own paint by mistake.  He later destroyed some of his finest works because he realized that aging had made his perception of color fade and he thought they were ugly.

Yogi Berra

I never liked Yogi Berra for some reason.  He always kinda came off as the kind of guy that thought he knew what he was talking about but it was painfully obvious that he didn't.  Especially watching the old broadcasts of him...it's really unbelievable how retarded this asshat was.  here are some quotes:

Well, I used to look like this when I was young and now I still do.

Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.

It was pretty good. Even the music was nice
~~said after attending an opera.

Congratulations on breaking my record. I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.


Alright, now lets see those votes, and if you disagree with a person someone put, start a debate, that's why it's in this section.

Vincent Van Gogh wasn't clear minded when he sliced off his ear. I heard that he often had some (or even more) Absinth which can make you do stupid things. I experienced that on my own. ^^
So he is still stupid, but it wasn't like "ooops i cut off my ear, how could that happen?" I suppose he drunk his paint after a "little" Absinth session as well. But still smart enough not to cut off his wiener.

Hitler: German dictator. Why? For attempting to invade Russia. Nice move.

Theodore Herzl: Zionist visionary. Why? For starting a campaign urging all jews to migrate to somewhere where everybody hates them as much as the Germans did.

Saddam Hussein: Iraqi dictator. Why? For invading Kuwait. If he hadn't then he would still be best buddies with the U. S. of A.

Yasser Arafat: Palestinian President. Why? For refusing a proposal from Israel at Camp David talks to have a Palestinian state along the 1948 borders, with the capital in East Jerusalem, essentially because control of the Haram Al-Sharif would have to be shared. Such a proposal from the Israelis is never likely to materialise again. They should have gone for the Irish approach - bit by bit they can win back their whole country.

Tony Blair: UK Prime Minister. Why? For committing political suicide on a grand scale by backing an illegal war in Iraq that hardly anyone in the UK supported. That was despite the fact that millions marched in protest, the evidence suggesting Iraq had WMD was pretty ropey and the fact it made the UK looks like America's bitches.

John Kerry: US Presidential Candidate. Why? For being beaten by George W. Bush in the presidential election, largely because he tried to appease all elements of US society at all times - without providing any concrete opinions of his own.

What? You can't have Bush?  That's like saying, what's the biggest country in the World and you're not allowed to say Russia!

However, the obvious candidate from these shores is 'Golden Balls' himself, David Beckham.  For those who didn't catch his attempts to conquer America using his fame alone, he is the captain of our national football (soccer) team and on the face of it, has everything a boy/man could want.  A Spice Girl wife, millions of £s, a house in Spain as well as his massion in the English countryside, A-list celebrity pals and Adonis looks.  Ali G put it best when he said "Every boy wants to be in his boots and every man wants to be in his missus"; but luckily for us mere mortals he does suffer in one department, the old grey matter.

In the U.S you have Bushisms and here we have Beckhamisms and here is a small collection of some of his pearls of wisdom, enjoy and yes, they are genuine!

"Pele was a complete player. I didn't see him live obviously, because I wasn't born"


"My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7"


"I remember so clearly us going into hospital so Victoria could have Brooklyn. I was eating a Lion bar at the time"

"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had"

"We're definitely going to get Brooklyn christened, but we don't know into which religion"

"I always used to go for blondes and quiet girls, but Victoria is the total opposite - dark and loud"

"Well, I can play in the centre, on the right and occasionally on the left side" -when asked if he thought that he was a volatile player"

Van Gogh didn't cut off his own ear by accident, he cut it off because he hated people critisising his work.
...
I guess that still makes him pretty damn stupid... more so even.

Oh well.
Here Cougar, here are some dumb-arse Yogi Berra quotes:
"Sometimes you can observe a lot by watching."
"I made a wrong mistake."
"It's deja vu all over again."

I don't even know him and I think you're right about him being a dumbarse.

Yeah?  Well everyone and their dog would say Bush for one, which would defeat the purpose of this thread.  Also someone would come in here and say "Fuck you all, Bush is a genius and a great leader" and the whole topic turns into a flame war.

I say a guy I knew named Thomas Bell is the dumbest. The idiot was singing int he corridor (Yr 6) and one of my friends was walking past carrying a bucket of water. He (friend) says

"If you don't stop singing I'm going to take this bucket and tip it over you."
Thomas: "But if you did that, the water wouldn't fall out!"

Um. WTF?!!?!?!?!?!??!?!?

wow!


I've heard that Van Gogh was bipolar so his behavior problems were unavoidable perhaps.


Yogi Berra... pure genious!  Who comes up with responses like that so effortlessly??

Ah, poor Nicholas.  People keep crapping on about how dumb he was, when really he was trying to be a proper Csar.  It wasn't about being dumb, it was about maintaining his principles.  Having said that, he was an Arts student, so................

I agree w/ the hitler thing, invading Russia = bad move. if he hadnt invaded russia, the allies might not have won WW2.

Heres a quick lil art history lesson to square away why Van Gogh is stupid.

In December the two artists visited Montpellier and viewed works by Courbet and Delacriox in the Museé Fabree. However, their relationship was deteriorating badly. They quarrelled fiercely about art. Van Gogh felt an increasing fear that Gauguin(a very good friend and fellow artist) was going to desert him, and what he described as a situation of "excessive tension" reached a crisis point on December 23, 1888, when Van Gogh stalked Gauguin with a razor and then cut off the lower part of his own left ear, which he wrapped in newspaper and gave to a prostitute called Rachel in the local brothel, asking her to "keep this object carefully". Gauguin left Arles and did not speak to Van Gogh again. Van Gogh was hospitalised and in a critical state for a few days.  :Source from Wikpedia

And on another note everything else is correct Thx for reading

one of my friends dad was murdered, he was a crazy guy that cut off his own finger for a bet.

so on the anniversary of his death, my dumbass friend decided he was going to cut his own figer off as a mark of respect!.

anyway, put his hand on the table , swung a large kitchen knife at his finger, only to find i got stuck half way through, he started sceeming and couldnt get it back out so we had to take him to hospital. 12 stiches and a bollocking from the doctor for trying to be so foolish ...ooooohhhhhh we laughed our ass off about that for a while lol
