Mr. Cumberbatch,
I don't have a question. I just wanted to say that I think you are lovely in Sherlock and that my husband named our fish after you.

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 36 points 39 seconds ago
I hope that fish lives a long life. Don't put it near any rooftops.

[–]petite_curiosity 1 point 13 seconds ago
That would be the Reichenbass Fall....

Should have got a cat. They always land on their feet...

I repeat. A. Dore. A. Ble.

(what a strange mix of the joking/passionate issues stuff he's picking to answer....)

**Posted by Mattlocked** October 11, 2013 7:54 pm

I know, right? Saw this fish a while ago and never thought he would answer to it!
LOLOL

Awww!

(also.... I am getting absolutely nothing done being distracted hitting 'refresh' and giggling/chatting over it with you guys) ;p ;p

For example. Yet -again-. He's joked before he's too 'wordy' for Twitter. Amusing proof: that really long Assange answer already posted in here. Someone replied to that:

And this is the proof against a Benedict Twitter account

Julian complex important proud to have attempted an interpretation. Film out Oct. 18 #FifthEstate

**Posted by SilverMoonDragonB** October 11, 2013 7:58 pm

Well, I've just started putting out some questions *crosses fingers*...Though the possibility of him answering one of them is slim, I will most definitely faint if he answers one of mine *squee*

**Posted by kittykat** October 11, 2013 7:59 pm

Guys, if you click on his name and then on comments, you can find everything he's posted without scrolling through all the time

**Posted by Pav** October 11, 2013 8:02 pm

and keep pressing F5 what a wonderful evening

**Posted by Mattlocked** October 11, 2013 8:02 pm

But that way I can't see the questions`?

**Posted by kittykat** October 11, 2013 8:04 pm

Click on context under each response

**Posted by Russell** October 11, 2013 8:06 pm

Silver - aww... I know... heh, I kind of lost hope for mine, even though they were (what I thought would be) interestingly thoughtful! ....We really need to 'upvote' each others! That's how reddit comments/posts get the most attention.

kitty - that's the page I've been refreshing! (Mattlocked: you can still see the 'question' to his 'answer' by clicking the 'context' word underneath his answer. That's just for keeping track of him, though... by all means, sometimes neat to look through the main page of -all- the questions people are posting....)

And.... ha... ok, may have been wrong about his off-camera friend doing the tedious browsing/typing for him... Even though he joked earlier his hand was 'in his pocket', and was therefore 'typing with left foot', he still managed to keep that up in that really long Assange comment:!

[–]wellihighlydoubtit 45 points 34 minutes ago
wow, the fact that you took the time to type all that out. you are amazing

[–]kastinsaints 29 points 21 minutes ago
and he typed that out with his left foot.

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 133 points 4 minutes ago
I used a bit of my right, too. And my nose. My hands were busy scratching my head.

**Posted by SilverMoonDragonB** October 11, 2013 8:08 pm

Oh my name btw is silverera.

And have you seen this one?

–]CumberbatchLover 943 points 1 hour ago

What do you think of your fans calling themselves 'Cumbercookies'? That way when we all come together, we'll be the 'Cumberbatch' :D

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 671 points 27 minutes ago

It's great! You could call yourself the Cumbergirls, and then when you come together you'd be a flock. Or you could call yourself the Cumbertadpoles and that way you'd be the Cumberspawn...Wait!...Ew! Don't do that.

*giggles*

Thank you!!

So it is not Animal, but Oscar.

**Posted by Russell** October 11, 2013 8:09 pm

Awwww.... ;D

[–]groinkick 699 points 1 hour ago
Mr. Cumberbatch,
If you make an appearance on Sesame Street, which Muppet would you like to share a scene with?
Thank you

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 1280 points 1 hour ago
Animal.

[–]jrgolden42 69 points 1 hour ago
But Animal isnt a member of the Sesame Street cast!!

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 115 points 4 minutes ago
Forgive me. Oscar the grouch.

(Aaaaaaand.... it's up to 9000)

I realise this will disappoint a lot of you sorry :c

BenedictCumberbatch:
Phenomenal. Why does Matt have the hammer? Sure it's the wrong household tool? Shouldn't it be a sonic toothbrush with a screwdriver on the end of it? And what's Simon Pegg doing staring at my abundant locks? And where's his right hand?

I keep repeating myself, I know, but he is just too adorable and drop-dead gorgeous and his answers are so, so good.

And Russell, I really think that he can be very "goofy" at times, and then again he is so humble when a certain Mister Harrison Ford is paying him a compliment... the whole package again, right?

Thanks! I'm NougatCat. (and still giggling at your above comment 'he's got to be drunk'! )
*pauses.... furrows... maybe there's 'something' in his tea.... ;D or just tired goofiness with a totally different kind of internet repartee*

**Posted by SolarSystem** October 11, 2013 8:16 pm

"He has got to be drunk" was my comment, Russell! Are you drunk, perhaps?!

What's the weirdest encounter you've had with a fan?

[–]_BenedictCumberbatchBenedict Cumberbatch[s] 48 Punkte 1 Minute zuvor

Ted Danson at a pre-Oscar party screaming across a floor of people like Leonardo DiCaprio, Ray Liotta, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, et al while pushing past them and knocking their drinks. "OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! IT'S FUCKING SHERLOCK HOLMES!"
