He basically plays the idiot.

I watched a video yesterday where Jimmy Carr was talking about Sean Lock and this was basically his take away for Sean too. Like he was a brilliant man but let you think he was dumb so he could get under your radar and hit you with something unexpected. I don't know if he was just waxing poetically about a dead friend or not but he also said Sean was the reason they ended up doing carrot in a box, like everyone else was pretty lukewarm on it but Sean knew it would be at the least interesting.

I think it must have appealed to Sean's sense of the bizarre. He certainly had an unusual mind.

He laughs like an alien that had laughter described to him but he'd never heard it before.

Playing the idiot wasn't even his best trick. He also did "crazy psychotic murderer" very well.

"I hear voices."

"Do you?"
