Confidence.

[u/DeepTrackOfficeQuote]

Height + Voice + Accent + Facial symmetry

[u/prefix_postfix]

I hadn't seen this before and I loved it. I absolutely love the concept of them playing caricatures of themselves, and this is was a fun premise, that he'd lured them to this thing they hadn't rehearsed.

[u/perfectionisntforme]

I agree that some of it is confidence but I think some of it is that he’s something different.

I have mild facial blindness and about 80% of dudes look exactly the same to me. Cumberbatch is attractive compared to your average celebrity because he looks distinctive.

[u/Galacticsurveyor]

This is one of the funniest sketches to me. I don’t know why, but it’s one that I rewatch often.

[u/IrishinManhattan617]

It’s 100% the accent.

As an average looking Irishman, I can tell you it is disproportionate the number of attractive women interested in me.

And why? Cause my words sound funny in a way women have decided is appealing.

It’s so odd to me.

[u/ozamatazbuckshank11]

I agree with Aidy. Kyle's my number one.

[u/PygmyDynamo]

Oh, Beck. Oh, Beck no...

[u/notwhoireallyam88]

He was so hot in Sherlock! Soooo hot 🔥🔥🔥
