Sarcasm: the Lowest Form of Wit

I hear a lot about Rentier's "brilliant sarcasm". I watch him pander to the less-gifted in chat.

He would do well as a candidate for low-information voters, but pal, you're not really as clever you seem to think you are.

One of my favorites is Rent's claim of being a rich businessman. I can guess at his company motto: Arbeit Macht Frei.

I enjoy Rentiers comments. I dont consider myself stupid, and I dont think h is a manipulator.

Think a bit: has he ever told you (or someone when you were present) how smart you are to get his clever sarcasm?

Rentier is very clever, sometimes a little hard "to get", but he's funny. He doesn't come right out and call people "idiots", but he can make some people feel small...

I suspect the character "Gollum" thought he was the bee knees too.
