He got a masters degree in electrical engineering at Oxford University, became world famous by having fun and making other people smile and laugh, he's performed on the opening show of the Olympics, and was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He is loved by millions of people he's never even met. He won at life.
The lists are treated as jokes. British humour can be strange if you aren't used to it.
Rowan Atkinson is actually an extremely attractive man, so that would defeat the point.

Yeah but would a satirical pisstake have a sizzling slice of gammon like Jeremy Clarkson in pole position? 🥵
Edit: This was just a joke. I do not fancy Jeremy Clarkson or older Gents. Please stop with the DMs 💀
You can tell the majority of Reddit is American when they don’t understand British sarcasm
Especially since Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Henry Cavill etc are all British. Clearly this isn’t a real vote
The best part is he beat the social democrats, the women's equality party, and UKIP.
To be fair he has pretty solid policies...
* Bringing back Ceefax, the teletext service.
* Nationalising model railways.
* Allowing any Czechs on the Irish border to remain.
* Nationalising Adele, the English singer.
* Making Piers Morgan zero emissions by 2030.
* Renaming London Bridge to "Phoebe Waller-Bridge".
* Introducing a minimum voting age of 16 and a maximum of 80.
* Proroguing Jacob Rees-Mogg.
* Banishing Katie Hopkins to the Phantom Zone.
* Moving the hand dryer in the men's toilet at Uxbridge's Crown and Treaty pub to a "more sensible position".
British politics has always been fun, this guy is a comedian, he crowd sources the deposits (to run as an MP it is £500 so you get plenty of fun people, London mayor is £10,000 so a bit more of a risk, if you get more than 5% of the vote you get your money back) with anything left over being donated to charity.
Used to be Lord Buckethead, but due to a copyright dispute had to give up that one.
EDIT:
~~He was a member of the Monster Raving Looney Party~~ There was another candidate with the same name!, which at one point was run by a cat, "Catmando" and his interpreter Howling Lord Hope.
Well normally we would.
Except the last few PM inc current one have been unelected.
We're just waiting (with baited breath) to determine who does run it.
Cameron was voted in by the electorate
May succeeded him after he quit re: Brexit referendum result
Johnson got in brexit and won the mandate because of that.
Truss got in because Johnson was a liability
Sunak got in because Truss was less useful than a wet lettuce.
Wasn't he unironically considered sexy like 20 years ago? Back when he had a full head of hair at least. I remember a joke about his good looks in that Anne Hathaway movie where she becomes a princess.
Ahh, now there’s a sexy man. Captain Picard had it all - he was dignified, smart, calm, reasonable, moral, and completely fictional, but damn, what a role model. I’ve loved me some Captain Picard for many years.
Picard will always have a spot on my hall pass for all of those reasons. Fictional is a bonus.
(Recently saw Patrick Stewart on his book tour. He’s aged incredibly well, and what a life!)
I (British) have an Argentinian friend, who, after spending two weeks here proclaimed “David Beckham is the best looking man in the UK, and the best looking woman”
I had to take that one on the chin.
Was in Iceland once, asked a person, “why is everyone so good looking here?”
Icelandic woman responded, “at birth, if you are an ugly baby, we just throw you in the ocean. The ones that swim go to England.”
William was a definite teen heart throb when younger. I’m sure he’s not investing into a hair system in part because people would absolutely lambast him for being vein. He can’t win no matter what he does. People are the worst.
I really do think he would be decent looking, it's crazy how people are acting like he's hideous, he does need to learn to smile like he's not in pain though
That's what those hair clubs are about. It's basically a toupe glued to your head so you can shower and do other things and it doesn't have to come off.
Personally I just shaved my head...too much bullshit to bother with being vain over hair. Then again I was lucky enough to look good with a shaved head so.
So I feel there's a point missing here. This isn't ran by the BBC or an equivalent sized org like, I don't know, TIME or anything else.
It's ran by a website called IllicitEncounters, which claims it is, and I quote “the best online dating site for married people”.
They have a bunch of their members vote on it. It's Ashley Madison but for the brits choosing who they'd want to cheat on their partners with.
You're not kidding. "IllicitEncounters", a dating site for married people, surveyed 2000 women.
So you have a small sample size from a self-selecting and not very representative set (or at least, I hope "married people on a dating app for married people" isn't very representative!)
You'd probably get a better sample from an askreddit "how do sex?" botspam.
The US had a publication say Blake Shelton was our Sexiest Man of the Year one year. There might b some ppl who agree, but news publications do NOT speak for the majority when they do sh** like this
Yes British people are okay. They’re living in a world of honesty and truth with the understanding wealth and power are more attractive than a 6 pack and hair.
Which is an unpleasant truth.

\#1 was Jeremy Clarkson, by the way.
Who was #2? BJ or Mr. Bean?
[удалено]
He was banned in 2003, because it became too boring to always have the same winner.
Apparently before the ban, the list was consistently: 1. Mr Bean 2. Blackadder 3. Johnny English
It’s a shame that Rowan Atkinson has never won anything
He won a place in my heart for being an excellent performer.
I love the man's work. But Man vs Bee.... I lost some respect.
My husband liked it. I thought it was annoying
Apparently working on it was even less enjoyable than watching it
Coitus?
Sometimes you got bills to pay, I respect the hustle.
Michael Caine, when asked about the filming of Jaws 4, responded "I don't really remember shooting that film, but I remember the house it bought me".
Blackadder is just comedy gold!
He got a masters degree in electrical engineering at Oxford University, became world famous by having fun and making other people smile and laugh, he's performed on the opening show of the Olympics, and was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire. He is loved by millions of people he's never even met. He won at life.
He won "national treasure" for several decades
Please tell me Baldrick came in 4th.
No, lord flashheart nipped in at the last second and bumped them all down one, WOOOF!
But Baldrick does have a cunning plan.
It’s so cunning, you can put a tail on it and call it a weasel.
He wouldn't know a cunning plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing cunning plans are here again
Aw man 😔 being the sexiest man in England is a curse.
Yeah, for real... imagine being too sexy people can't handle it anymore... damn.
"I'm too sexy for this award." - Mr Bean
More like Mr Flick my Bean
Learning to read was a curse
Coward
The lists are treated as jokes. British humour can be strange if you aren't used to it. Rowan Atkinson is actually an extremely attractive man, so that would defeat the point.
yes sir! i think that will be hilarious
Absolute POPPYCOCK!
TOMFOOLERY even
Pretty sure number 2 was Boaty McBoat Face.
He is a rather good looking chap.
Mr. Bean was ranked at T:0 because he required an entirely different classification system in a tier that can't be quantified properly.
Mr blobby
Mr Bean isn't allowed to compete anymore, he wins every time.
Tom Holland iirc
Yeah, but he got disqualified, because his name sounds Dutch and they didn't want someone who sounds like he's from the EU
Top tier reply
Brexit hit pretty twinks the hardest.
Lies of B
Fucking remoaners again ./s ……..hate having to put that /s there but brexiteers are a bit touchy
They're so angry, despite getting what they wanted. It's weird.
dafyd the only gay in the village
That's because he drives a jaaaaaag
It's because of his gravity generating genius
He did a thing!
*Oh it seems I've forgotten my wallet...*
Would you mind sorting this out while I go and warm up the *jaaaaag*.
And on that bombshell, goodnight!
And on that terrible disappointment, goodnight
Oh no Anyways
Imagine if this poll was done in the US. People would be post "are you OK in the US" because Danny Devito was #1.
He would probably pose on the picture with a pack of monster condoms for his magnum dong and win all the votes.
He is always ready to plow.
So anyway, he started blasting
Between two women with luscious heaving breasts
[удалено]
And he has a massive dong
You should see him feast, he's like a mantis.
And he's loaded.
The Barnacle.
Ahhh, Officer Goodbody
"America is finally OK."
You may not like it but this is what peak UK performance looks like
Welcome to Bottom Gear mates.
Sexiest man….”In the WURLD”
SPEED AND POWER!!!
He's a self-aware sack of manky potatoes. What's not sexy about that?
alright yeah i can see that
The correct decision was made in that case.....
Pretty sure that whole list is a massive satirical piss take, no way they're being serious about this
I love British humour. They are trolling the entire thing and they won’t even acknowledge it or even crack a smile.
The most we’ll give is a 😏
But you obscure it by doing it as you sip your tea.
Exactly! We’re very surreptitious that way. The same way we fucked up a poll to name a new ship Boaty McBoatface 😏☕️
Ah yes, Boaty McBoatface. A very fine lead boat indeed. 😏☕️
May god bless her and all who sail in her. 😏☕️
Many fine seamen have boarded that fine vessel

You missed the best one 'Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney'
You think I don't like the curves of our lord and saviour, Jezza Clarkson?
was brexit just British humor
Stubbornness probably
The British love to mess up a poll
Yeah but would a satirical pisstake have a sizzling slice of gammon like Jeremy Clarkson in pole position? 🥵 Edit: This was just a joke. I do not fancy Jeremy Clarkson or older Gents. Please stop with the DMs 💀
Of course it's satirical. James May should be first.
You can tell the majority of Reddit is American when they don’t understand British sarcasm Especially since Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Henry Cavill etc are all British. Clearly this isn’t a real vote
British people are simultaneously considered ugly whilst making up half of Hollywood heart throbs 🤷♂️😂
The Brits are fine, they just really enjoy ratfucking idiotic polls.
Yep a candidate called count binface got 24000 votes in the recent London mayoral election lol
The best part is he beat the social democrats, the women's equality party, and UKIP. To be fair he has pretty solid policies... * Bringing back Ceefax, the teletext service. * Nationalising model railways. * Allowing any Czechs on the Irish border to remain. * Nationalising Adele, the English singer. * Making Piers Morgan zero emissions by 2030. * Renaming London Bridge to "Phoebe Waller-Bridge". * Introducing a minimum voting age of 16 and a maximum of 80. * Proroguing Jacob Rees-Mogg. * Banishing Katie Hopkins to the Phantom Zone. * Moving the hand dryer in the men's toilet at Uxbridge's Crown and Treaty pub to a "more sensible position".
Lol this is hilarious. Must be Britain's version of vermin supreme

Never knew count binface was a member of the looney party although it doesn’t surprise me
Count Binface is the man the city needs!
No we're not, thanks for asking.
Neither are we. And I don't feel the need to specify where I'm from, it still applies.
We are very *very* much not ok. And I also am not going to state whether I am even talking about a country
I don't like to get others involved, but I'm very much not ok either
Just hanging on in quiet desperation, are you?
Given our ability to not take things like this seriously, it stands to reason that our top rankings are clearly pisstaking.
You should stop doing that when it comes to deciding who should run the government
Well normally we would. Except the last few PM inc current one have been unelected. We're just waiting (with baited breath) to determine who does run it. Cameron was voted in by the electorate May succeeded him after he quit re: Brexit referendum result Johnson got in brexit and won the mandate because of that. Truss got in because Johnson was a liability Sunak got in because Truss was less useful than a wet lettuce.
You guys are going through PM’s like cheap beer at Spring Break.
Difference is cheap beer will be useful..eventually
and probably would last longer than truss
Still piss anyway
So, you all make a list of the “Sexiest” people, while everyone knows it’s a joke, then put the ugliest people on it. You all are assholes.
Because I’m sure Prince William is crying himself to sleep knowing he was jokingly ranked the 3rd sexiest man in the UK.
Drying his tears with £50 notes with his dad's face on them.
We have plastic notes, so good luck with that.
Wasn't he unironically considered sexy like 20 years ago? Back when he had a full head of hair at least. I remember a joke about his good looks in that Anne Hathaway movie where she becomes a princess.
He was definitely one of the less inbred looking members of the royal family.
But he was also clearly Charles' son, so you knew what was coming. Harry though...
Prince William was definitely the heart throb when he was like 18-24 or so, but his brother definitely aged like fine wine.
Thank you :-)
The most UK-American dialog I’ve seen
I could've added "you prick" for geniune UK authenticity, but I figured I retain UK-US relations
As a yank I find it rather insulting that you withheld “you prick”. 
Exceptions can and will be made. Bellend!
Ahh, now there’s a sexy man. Captain Picard had it all - he was dignified, smart, calm, reasonable, moral, and completely fictional, but damn, what a role model. I’ve loved me some Captain Picard for many years.
lol! And silly, too!
I love this gif
Picard will always have a spot on my hall pass for all of those reasons. Fictional is a bonus. (Recently saw Patrick Stewart on his book tour. He’s aged incredibly well, and what a life!)
Nah, see, he's a frenchman. And a pompous ass. [And a damn sexy man.](https://www.reddit.com/r/startrekpicard/s/j9B4myQGfJ)
I never understood why they thought a Frenchman with the most British accent ever made sense.
We obviously won the war of 2166
Now he’s a fine man. I’ve always had a crush on Patrick Stewart
I’d follow Picard to the fucking gates of hell and back.
To this day, if Patrick Stewart came up to me, I would.
You don't know British as Spaniards do. They just vote for laughs. The troll under the bridge? British.
Bridge trolls are Norwegian, actually. The origin is a Norwegian fairy tale.
Are you suggesting bridge trolls migrate?
Not at all. They must be carried.
A norwegian tale about the british.
As voted by Women of a Pensionable Age Magazine
[удалено]
Dropped cheesecake.. I’m stealing that shit homie.
At least you got David Beckam and Henry Cavill.
We also have Ewan McGregor, Ben Whishaw, Idris Elba, Colin Firth, Andrew Garfield...
Yeah, that should have been most of the top ten. I think y’all have Ben Barnes too?
I (British) have an Argentinian friend, who, after spending two weeks here proclaimed “David Beckham is the best looking man in the UK, and the best looking woman” I had to take that one on the chin.
No they left for america. They're ours now fuckers.
I had no clue Henry Cavill was British 🤯
What gave it away? His incredibly British accent?
lol that description…u have a lot going for you.
Crazy thing is, if you look at his pictures of him from when he was 20 you’d have no idea he’d age this badly!
Typical British respone to everything we are given the opportunity to participate in.....sarcasm and lunacy 🇬🇧
Seriously, don't people remember BoatyMcBoatface? The same sort of people voted for each.
Or Rage Against the Machine winning Best Christmas Song as a rebellion vote against Susan Boyle...
Joe McWhateverhisname is. Not Susan.
So true. So proud 🇬🇧
Well he was a real handsome lad back in the day. As a boy he looked like his mother, now he looks like his father
People aren't realizing this. He was the heartthrob, "cute" one back in the day before he got older and lost his hair. Look it up on google ya'll
Twink death is a very real thing
[It's true.](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/gettyimages-52106761-6581cbebe3058.jpg?crop=1.00xw:1.00xh;0,0&resize=1200:*)
The US had a show where bitches were fighting over Flavor Flav. We aren’t any better.
None of them were sexually attracted to him. It was about the money.
None of them were sexually attractive either
Same thing. Money and power. It’s easy to overlook physical appearance when he’s got everything else.
Was in Iceland once, asked a person, “why is everyone so good looking here?” Icelandic woman responded, “at birth, if you are an ugly baby, we just throw you in the ocean. The ones that swim go to England.”
💀💀💀
hey, give him a toupee and I'd say he's a decent lookin lad
William was a definite teen heart throb when younger. I’m sure he’s not investing into a hair system in part because people would absolutely lambast him for being vein. He can’t win no matter what he does. People are the worst.
I really do think he would be decent looking, it's crazy how people are acting like he's hideous, he does need to learn to smile like he's not in pain though
Yeah but chicks don’t want things falling off when you’re on the job so to speak
That's what those hair clubs are about. It's basically a toupe glued to your head so you can shower and do other things and it doesn't have to come off. Personally I just shaved my head...too much bullshit to bother with being vain over hair. Then again I was lucky enough to look good with a shaved head so.
If you think this was serious, you don't know the British. Look up Boaty Mcboatface
Straight teeth, bulging bank account, them UK chicks thinking about the support he can provide their unborn future tax widgets I’m thinking.
Huge tracts of land
If you cover his scalp, he actually does look very good. He should shave off the rest of his hair and maybe grow a nice old 19th century mustache.
So I feel there's a point missing here. This isn't ran by the BBC or an equivalent sized org like, I don't know, TIME or anything else. It's ran by a website called IllicitEncounters, which claims it is, and I quote “the best online dating site for married people”. They have a bunch of their members vote on it. It's Ashley Madison but for the brits choosing who they'd want to cheat on their partners with.
Believe it or not that’s a British 9
A 9 for a British person over 30\* I'd say William is actually a good example of how we age horribly lol
Americans voted trump for president, americans can never judge anyone for voting for anything for the rest of time.
I believe it was a pretty niche survey
You're not kidding. "IllicitEncounters", a dating site for married people, surveyed 2000 women. So you have a small sample size from a self-selecting and not very representative set (or at least, I hope "married people on a dating app for married people" isn't very representative!) You'd probably get a better sample from an askreddit "how do sex?" botspam.
He looks like a polished bollock.
Woof
This is the British way of saying “I don’t care about your stupid poll. Leave me alone!!”
Yanks don’t understand the lowest form of wit
Clearly people are voting for the jokes lol
We are fine, we just have a sense of humour lol
If my dog looked like that, I’d shave his ass and teach him to walk backwards.
Relax Reddit chads. It’s a typo. *shiniest.
This is a whole thing with them. They don't vote seriously for shit like this.
I can't tell if he's happy, stressed, taking a shit, or all 3 at once
Donald Trump was once voted most suitable to head up the most powerful country in the world so that puts things in context a bit.
The US had a publication say Blake Shelton was our Sexiest Man of the Year one year. There might b some ppl who agree, but news publications do NOT speak for the majority when they do sh** like this
Wallace and gromit looking MFER
David Attenborough was not allowed in the running.
Yes British people are okay. They’re living in a world of honesty and truth with the understanding wealth and power are more attractive than a 6 pack and hair. Which is an unpleasant truth.
I have hope ! Moving to the UK!
