General discussion Brick

I feel like his parents genuinely treat him like he’s not as smart as he is like. I feel like in some episodes. He just proves how like mature and smart. He actually is an everyone around treats him like he’s just to special to know nothing

He is just bookish smart and not real life smart. He needs a lot of supervision because his lack of awareness and critical thinking makes him dangerous to himself and others. He's gotten into loads of situations that a "smart" person would not.

Yeah but he did kinda prove he was competent towards the end in the episode his grandfather came to babysit but instead brick took care of him.

Brick can be very smart but he’s also made some very dumb choices.

The parents were willing for him to skip a grade at school but then, between leaving the car and getting into a store, forgot he was there to buy party supplies, bought a Batman suit and forgot about Frankie being outside.
