An interesting dichotomy in English culture: earnestness vs. microaggressions:

Charles Darwin vs. Isaac Newton
Gladstone vs. Disraeli
George Orwell vs. Evelyn Waugh
John Keats vs. Jane Austen
Charles Dickens vs. Lewis Carroll
George Harrison vs. John Lennon

More English pairs who represent English earnestness vs. English microaggressiveness:

Here’s a greatest hits collection of Prince Philip’s mesoaggressions, such as:
