    To be funny you need to be smart.

    Eh. To be funny, it helps to appear insightful and transgressive. But you can make up for a lack of one by exceeding in the other.

    People find Johnny Knoxville’s Jackass show incredibly funny, for instance.

    Hell, people find Donald Trump quite funny. Like, if he was a TV Show President on a spin-off of Veep, where the character Donald Trump beats the character Selina Miers to the Presidency? Solid gold. Best show on HBO, no contest.
