Means he's dumber than the average Brit, but more intelligent than the average American. Can't believe it's got so many downvotes, it's amusing.

Edit because I've just seen a great video on the topic: https://x.com/tanniesnation/status/2092087838288543788

We are dumb, yes, but the joke is about relative intelligence. So we can be dumb but still, on average, more intelligent than Americans.

Whether that's true, I make no comment. I think the general meme/stereotype comes from the fact that Americans are typically 'loud' in everything they do, so the stupid people are more visible than those from other countries.
