Here's a little known fact...

Season 1 Episode 12: The Spy Who Came in for a Cold One
Airdate:
December 16 1982
This little stinker comes out of nowhere.

Here's a little known fact.
The smartest animal is the pig.

(Norm interrupts: "They look pretty stupid")
No, I'm telling you, your average oinker, yeah, yeah, yeah, scientists say; if a pig had thumbs and a language it could be trained to do simple manual labor.

Norm then asks "You mean they'd be part of the workforce?"

Cliff answers: "Yeah, yeah, they'd give you 20, 30 years of loyal service, then at the retirement dinner you could eat them.

The truth:

The smartest animals on Earth are considered to be chimpanzees.

So far this is about the closest Cliff has come to being right as pigs are considered pretty smart. We found reference that the pot-bellied pig was considered the fourth smartest animal.

Cliff Recommends: Positive Thinking

Some other animals that may be smarter than Cliff:

  • Gorillas
  • Orangutans
  • Baboons
  • Gibbons
  • Monkeys
  • Killer whales
  • Dolphins
  • Elephants
