For every insult, it is possible to conceive of an ideal type who displays all the features the insult conveys, but in whom they are somehow virtues rather than deficits, and Tom Lehrer was that for “smart-ass.”

Also, I thought I’d seen just about every speck of Tom Lehrer content there was, but nope — here he is doing a promo for the new Dodge models of 1967.
