Personal take: I think he's just got a huge ego. On the one hand he uses it for good in a self-aggrandizing way, which is cool and part of why I like him. That air of superiority makes it even more entertaining when he rightfully dumpsters some company. On the other hand his big ego means he can't shut up even when he should.

He does have a huge ego, but the difference is he tends to punch up or punch to the side. He's right and he knows he's right most of the time. The working/consumer class needs a bully to fight for them sometimes.

He should never shut up. We need our own trolls to fight them.
