It’s not meant to genuinely trick people into thinking that water is bad, that’s obviously ridiculous even for the dumbest of people.
It’s meant to be explained afterwards for those who got genuinely caught. Experiencing a fear of some dangerous chemical only to discover it’s simply water is an illustrative example of how people misunderstand chemistry and chemical industry, and for some it might be eye-opening.

Very intelligent people can like childish fart jokes and dad jokes. It has nothing to do with their intelligence; people just have opinions on humor. I don’t like scatological jokes, but I don’t try to define someone’s intelligence with it. That would be extremely stupid, as they are not related.
