Use of very perfect

Hi

Would a native speaker use the phrase very perfect in everyday conversation?

A - How's my drawing?
B - Very perfect.

Thanks,

Tom

PS: A Korean used it on TV the other day.

There are a handful of matches in COCA, but it sounds odd to me.

No. It doesn't even make sense. By definition you can't have degrees of perfection. A little perfect. Not too perfect. Very perfect. Better than perfect. All of these are nonsense.
