Emmie works when he's doing the dunce to Honoroit's competence. Dunces on their own are rarely funny.

Wuk would have been less intolerable if Erenville was giving her grief over being an idiot. It doesn't need to be mean, but it needed to be present. Audience engagement emerges from commiseration there.
