I am confused as to how you are rating them. I got a fourth of the way through and there seems to be no mention of the admittedly pseudoscientific IQ system or how this actually relates to what we see on screen. I do like the clips you are showing. I will now watch to the end and edit this comment as to how I feel if you bring it back around or do not. *Edit Well obviously I was waiting for that end reveal of Homer without the crayon. But the IQ scale does not normally go up to 300 Barney's effective IQ if he doesn't drink is clearly much higher, which is objectively different than homer having a crayon lodged in his brain. Maggie as a baby able to operate a firearm even after the Mr burns episode and overthrow a daycare center run by an Ayn Rand-pastiche is clearly higher than that too. Not to mention her many other talents. But all of that is if you believe IQ is an accurate way of measuring intelligence of course. I still enjoyed the clips you chose. I am an avid Simpsons fan. I think the people who are honestly the dumbest overall are Ralph and wiggum. Everyone else should be rated much higher. 100 IQ is average. Bart is definitely above average, regardless of his performance in school. So is Barney, despite his substance abuse. According to most metrics, the higher the intelligence, the higher incidence of mental problems, so things like Bart's ADHD and Barney's addiction should not lower their supposed IQ scores.
Thank you for your comment. To be honest, it was quite tough to mention a certain IQ level of certain characters. Sometimes they even feel inconsistent, so according to one episode I would rate them 50 and according to another 150. Some characters have the IQ level mentioned in the Show, but not all of them. And I felt like this would be a more interesting video concept than just ranking them from what I consider dumb or smart. You are totally right about Bart, if he could be more focused, or Barney minus alcohol. However, it is certain that with excessive use it damages brain beyond repair. That's why I ranked him quite low despite his previous businesses.
Great content! Excited to see more
Thanks! The next video will be out on Monday, I hope you'll enjoy it!
