"think of how stupid the average person is, and then think half of them are dumber than that"
So heavily overused.
This was actually the quote that inspired this thread. I love George Carlin but I hear this all the time online and I hate it
The people saying it aren't usually in the half they think they are, either.
95% of people think they belong to the top 5%.
Yeah but I actually am, right guys? ...guys?
Of course you are, buddy! Now go play with your crayons while the grown ups talk.
And I would think that a good 95% of that 5%, who don't think they belong in the top half, actually do belong in the top tiers.
"Half of them are smarter than that!" Doesn't have the same ring to it.
Half of the people who unironically use this quote are in the exact half he's making fun of
