 George relies heavily on his butler, Mr. E. Blackadder, even while Blackadder despises George for his stupidity.While George is considered "moronic" and "idiotic", as well as completely self-absorbed,  he is helpful and loyal, and is aware he is not very intelligent, describing himself as "thick as a whale omelette".In a 2008 retrospective, co-star Stephen Fry said George's keenness for self-improvement was one of the things he felt made the character likeable.
