most of the cast of Arrested Development
the movie: Idiocracy
lots of examples, let's go with Alan Turing or Richard Feynman

i'd nominate Ramanujan as the geniuses' genius: he had basically no formal education on mathematics, and yet he solved problems that the rest of the world collectively couldn't crack.

Ah true I haven't heard of him! Love to hear about autodidact geniuses.

I somewhat disagree, I think a lot of real smart people overestimate idiots.
Yup
Alan Turing is my guy! Always remember the British government did him dirty for being gay. Shame on you, British gov.

I think I just wanted to mention arrested development lol. It being a smart, well-written show about very dumb people

A genius wouldn’t post something this pointless and idiotic in the first place. If they felt inclined to, they would likely not think it worth the time.
