I suspect that the guy isn't stupid and do believe that he's successful, whether he's intentionally or unintentionally funny.

If unintentional, he's smart enough to have turned a perceived liability into an asset.

He might be a moron, as you insist.

A - Karl is stupid AND successful, his is successful because he is stupid not inspite of this fact.

B - Karl did nothing to make himself an asset, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant made him an asset, Karl had literally nothing to do with it. Its like saying Frankensteins monster is a genius not Doctor Frankenstein.

C - it is common knowledge that he is a moron there is simply no debate to be had about it.
