I was a little confused too (plus it doesn't help that the joke itself isn't very clear) but I'll boil down my own thinking:
I'm still not getting the joke but I think it's funny enough that us commenters of commenters are questioning things and might be the only ones not experiencing the Dunning Kruger effect. Lol
Ye, I got that part, OP's response was what threw me for a loop, but I think I understand what happened with OP's response.
guy calls out op, believing OP's brain to be fake (in more ways than one, if you catch my meaning)
OP doesn't know much about human anatomy either, thinks "shit, what if they're right and it was mislabeled? Fuck, how do I recover?"
OP decides to play the fool, pumping up their self-confidence under the assumption that smokinliver is correct, thereby satisfying the Dunning-Kruger effect.
OP decides to add a bugs bunny clip as a "wink wink, nudge nudge" (to indicate they're not being serious)
no one gets it and everyone thinks OP is a moron and a dick.
I remember trying something very similar when I was a teenager which is how I learned that playing the fool is not a good recovery method lol
