I love Kevin Smith

From his appearance on Bill Maher:

Bill: Wait. Could you smart people wait till I ask the question?
< Laughter >

My question is, especially for you guys, and I am this era, too -- I remember when comedy teams, there was always one smart guy and one dumb guy.

Steve (Lawrence): Mm-hmm.

Geena (Davis): Mm-hmm.

Bill: Abbott and Costello, Laurel and Hardy, Hope and Crosby, Martin and Lewis, the Smothers Brothers -- all these teams, there was a smart guy.

Geena: Yeah.

Bill: What happened? Why do we now need two morons?
< Light laughter >

What does that say?

Kevin: I think, um -- I think America likes the two stupid people together, which is why we had the election we had last year.
