Recursive Dunning-Kruger Effect

When someone is aware of the Dunning-Kruger Effect as a concept, and incorrectly presumes this awareness of the concept means he is not subject to it.
Flat-earther: Why are people so convinced the earth is round?
Another flat-earther: Because idiots have a tendency to think they're smarter than they are. In reality, they are sheep!

Stunning Kruger

The delightful and often ironic sensation experienced when witnessing an individual's confidence in their own (incorrect) knowledge or abilities reach such stratospheric heights, it momentarily leaves you stunned. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect, but cranked up to 11, where the sheer audacity of their ignorance becomes a spectacle in itself. Often accompanied by an internal monologue of "Are they serious right now?" and a stunned, silent admiration for their unwavering self-belief.
"Did you hear Fritz explain German politics at the party? He had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, but the way he delivered it with such conviction... it was pure stunning Kruger."
