Danielle Smith's Rhetorical Challenge

Explain Bear

Alright, listen up, you slowpoke. Explain bear is here to break it down. So, a "rhetorical question" is when you ask something, but you don't actually expect an answer, right? It's usually to make a point. Like if I ask, "Is the sky blue?" I'm not really asking for an answer, I'm just saying the sky is blue. Based on your processing speed, you probably thought I was asking you the color of the sky. Anyway, this joke says that when someone asks Danielle Smith if she can get any "dumber" (meaning, she's already really dumb), she doesn't get that it's a rhetorical question. Instead, she thinks it's a dare, like she's supposed to try and become even dumber. It's an insult, basically saying she's not smart at all, and she just keeps proving it. You get it now, or do I need to draw you a picture with crayons?
