I called it way before, watching a you tube and him in his gf talking about stock broking, I even made a thread, I knew that getting him in front if the camera would make ppl cringe, specially fans.
It's probably more a case of him trying to be funny(and failing) than him being and idiot. From what i've seen of him, most of the stuff he says seem to be tongue in cheek but it never translates well. IMO he just tries too hard.
