The Sherlock star's turn came after Jeff Bridges shared his ("Am now convinced Jeff Bridges is a crazy f**ker and not in the cool way, just in a disturbed hobo shouting at sparrows and sidewalks way") which he agreed was an "interesting critique", and Kristen Bell read out an even more bizarre jibe.
Cumberbatch married the playwright Sophie Hunter in a ceremony on the Isle of Wight earlier this year and the pair welcomed their first child in June. But one Twitter user appeared confused as to how Hunter could be physically attracted to the actor and criticised his appearance by comparing his face to a cat's anus.
Cumberbatch turned to a well-known Beyonce song for his own comeback.
