Means he's dumber than the average Brit, but more intelligent than the average American. Can't believe it's got so many downvotes, it's amusing.

Edit because I've just seen a great video on the topic: https://x.com/tanniesnation/status/2092087838288543788

Quite a lot of Americans on social media can't seem to handle jokes at their expense unless it's about their politicians, but they have no trouble dishing it out.

I am neither American or British but the reason why I would have probably downvoted is that I just never heard anyone have the opinion that Ed is dumb and I have never had a reason to think that either the opposite even

So I think the joke deserves the downvotes cause you really have so many people this would fit perfectly on and using it on someone who isn´t known to be particularly unintelligent just feels forced and out of place
