I don't think that's a reasonable ask, considering it basically requires pre-existing knowledge to consider.
It's an awkward line that only a small subset readers would ever get, and isn't even good with context.
It's okay to like bad jokes, bro, you don't have to make up strawmen to defend them
The target audience is kids who grew up watching Blues Clues. I'm pretty sure most the target audience would have gotten it.
You weren't the target audience, that's fine.
I actually watched it with my younger brother enough to get it.
The target audience of that line is people with bad taste in wordplay.
I always hear about smart, dumb people and dumb, smart people, but I think you’re a dumb dumb person.
Pretty weird how defensive y'all are over an awkward joke about a children's show.

ZeroCool, are you the author of the article?
I ask because you don't quite seem to understand what that word means or the context it would be appropriate for either.
lol okay pal, that's enough of you. Bye now. 👋
Hmm, a little upset over something so trivial.
They don't seem upset to me just dismissive. If I had to guess I'd say they probably don't want to keep explaining to you what a facetious remark is. Which is probably a good idea, because you seem to be very dumb.
