Listen here, you smooth-brain. The joke is all about flipping the script. Dad says being a know-it-all is annoying. But the joke teller hits back with the ultimate comeback: "Yeah, well, what if my big brain saves the day by curing cancer?" It's unexpected and kinda makes you think, even if you are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
