Line 159:
* [[Barack Obama]] as of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW7OPByRGDY the radio and television correspondents dinner.]
* [[Albert Einstein]] may be the trope originator.
* [[Kevin Smith]]. He makes films featuring nerds debating which ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie was best, the ethical implications of the destruction of the second Deathstar, the status of the ''[[Transformers]]'' as a gift from God, and whether ''[[Star Wars]]'' or ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' is the true trilogy of Geekdom.
* In addition to being a charming fellow and a stellar voice actor, [[Crispin Freeman]] wins over many because he is a "first generation otaku"...as in, he's been a huge anime fan himself since the day they started popping into the states. In addition to acting, he also hosts discussion panels about certain topics related to anime (and animation in general) and even runs voice acting classes.
* Nerdfighters, anyone? John and Hank Green of the [[Vlog Brothers]]/the Brotherhood/the Brotherhood 2.0 have successfully developed a community centered around this pride. The nerdfighter secret handshake is two hands doing the Vulcan greeting crossed across the chest and pretending to load them like a gun, for god's sake!
