Dean is just as smart as Sam, if not smarter, he just doesn't advertise it. Dean hides his intelligence so Sammy doesn't feel he has to compete. Dean's every reaction is to protect Sam and always shield him from everything. He's a big brother and there's nothing that matters to him more than Sam. I love Dean, but I really hate his self hatred. He never sees just what a wonderful human being he truly is. As Cas said: Dean doesn't think he deserves to be saved, and it rips my heart out every time.
@@stopsunshine3402 but no one except Dean can play with someone's mind that good!how many times he has tricked Sam or Cas or Crowley or another angels,demons and...!
Dean downplays his intelligence (not consciously, perhaps), but when it actually comes down to it he is a Genius as well. Dean never went to college, nor did he really bother with high school, so he isn't generally as book smart as Sam, but what he lacks there, he more than makes up for in being Street smart. Sam is more theoretical, while Dean ,due to his insane amount of experience, has much better instincts and is more practical.
Instincts? You have to be joking. Christ. He is literally defined by the writers as IMPULSIVE for a reason. The amount of times he went in and killed supernatural beings he shouldn't have, the human life lost by his arrogance. Sorry no. You people are just weirdly obsessed with Dean.
@@Rebel_2891 You have to be blind or dumb or both if you miss out on Dean's instincts. There's also a reason why the writers nearly always wrote Dean as right. Each time it seemed like he killed some creature he shouldn't have, turns out doing so ended up being the right thing, you just have an obsessive bias against him so aren't able to acknowledge him as right. Also mind you - almost all the human lives that were lost happened due to SAM's arrogance. Not Dean's. SAM killing Lilith. SAM releasing Amara while trying to take off Dean's Mark Of Cain. SAM shooting Chuck, doing no damage, but instead angering him into unleashing the end of the world. Just because you are shallow enough to go "Sam is soft spoken so he must be right" in your mind doesn't mean that becomes factual. Jesus.
I think they are both smart, they just have different approaches. Sam has most of his knowledge from reading while Dean's knowledge mostly comes from experience. I honestly don't think that Dean plays dumb for Sam though. I think he is just interested in different things.
Beagologin Dean is book smart too, he just doesn't advertise it. I don't think he plays dumb I think he prefers to let Sam take the lead and follow him in the knowledge department, while Sam usually follows Dean lead on the more practical side but that doesn't mean Sam isn't just as good of a hunter, they just balance each other out perfectly without overshadowing each other.
I've always had an idea that Dean is dyslexic. People with dyslexia are extremely intelligent, see ideas in pictures or patterns but often struggle in school that is meant more for those who think inside the box.
cas flydgvr True, but research indicates that most people who have Dyslexia are also highly intelligent when it comes to figuring out patterns and the like. It may not be 100% linked, but the science doesn’t lie.
@@katie5998 still don't agree. Apart from Google lists saying "people with dyslexia are good at figuring out patterns" I haven't found any studies or percentage supporting the claim. Research indicates is quite vague. And they almost never say that they are able to do it BETTER than people without dyslexia. I could be wrong but I still don't believe higher intelligence is linked with dyslexia, because I haven't found any science or studies supporting it . I think that dyslexic people CAN be smart, not that they're smart because of dyslexia.
cas flydgvr I never said they were smart because of dyslexia. I said I read that people who have dyslexia are more likely to have a higher intelligence then people without. I don’t think it’s because of their dyslexia. However, upon further research, I find many conflicting articles and scientific research papers on the matter. Some claim as you do, that high intelligence and dyslexia aren’t linked. Others said differently, so I’m a little confused on the entire subject. I made sure that the website it was going to was legit, so I’m not sure why there’s so many conflicting reports. Upon you saying you couldn’t find anything about patterns I did some research because I wasn’t 100%. According to a limited amount of studies, there is some research indicating that people with dyslexia are better at visual-spatial problems than people without it. Though it’s an ongoing theory; and hasn’t been proved, it’s something many researchers are studying, in hopes of finding a connection. So, in this instance, you were right.
*I'm* dyslexic. Dean is a kindred spirit. His weird randomness fits perfectly as well as his ABCDEFGHIJ being ABYFDSJ and grabbing an answer for him three letters early. He's not a formal scholar but is intensely curious, retains what he's learned simply because he wanted to and applies his intellect to solve problems with his hands as well as his weapons -- remember the EMF detector Sam ridiculed as being made of garbage parts until he found out Dean's engineering made it better than the ones for sale? The weapons master and mechanic could become a fine engineer ( fanfic, *please!* ).
I have always believed that Dean Is just as smart If not slightly smarter than Sam. Think about it John was never around when Sam was little, Dean would have been the one helping Sam with school work. The reason Dean didn't do well in school was because he just wasn't interested. Also I never realized that they got the death certificate at the copy store.
I have watch the show Dean is a genius smart and he is competent have all 12 seasons Dean is not dumb and he is smart in his own way even though Sam is class as brains and dean is the muscle Dean is smart in his own way
Everyone knows that Dean's just as smart as Sammy. He just doesn't show it. Also you forgot to mention that "he can trap demons in devils traps as easily as eating pie."
Dean has an incredibly high I.Q. he just hasn't had as much formal, school-related education. But anything he needs to learn he does quick and effectively as fuuuuck.
I have always said that Dean is a smart man. He down plays his intelligence all the time. I love how he uses that to his advantage especially with the bad guys. I mean they underestimate him all the time. Just look whenever they think they’ve beaten him Wham! He gets them and there dead. Now I know it’s not always that smooth but what is huh. And people have a difficult time pulling one over on him.
Lol yes sure, Mr. Impulsive, shoot first ask questions later, Dean, who fails to critically assess or question the status quo of things. Yeah...I do not think so. Sam is clearly the critical thinker and the intelligent one, for intelligence is when one questions the information placed before him/her. If there is anyone on the show the questions everything and spends ages assessing it using knowledge and critical thought, it is Sam. Dean has other virtues though.
2:15 is the perfect example of this shows amazing writing. It explains an important tool and how it works to the audience without feeling like they’re just dumping information on you.
Deans intelligent his personality just makes himself not look the part. He just likes to have fun and fight while Sam takes logical less risk approaches.
I think it's that he acts more immature then Sam. It's honestly kind of how I am personality wise, I am smart, intelligent, am capable of being responsible, am street smart, and stuff but I have a kind of more carefree/childish personality.
I think Dean's carefree personality has a lot of to do with him growing up too fast. He's clearly traumatized, probably went through much stress in childhood due to losing mom, father not being around, raising Sammy and other responsibilities that a child shouldn't have to bare.
I always thought dean was smart you know how many times he fixed that impala he knows how to kill monsters by heart he made a EMF reader he can read people
BY THE WAY! - nobody ever said he WAS (an "idiot!) - it's just that he "shoots first & asks questions later" (- and - alright! - sometimes likes to ACT like a fool! :D) - but he's not! Sam is the opposite - he asks even TOO MANY questions, before doing anything. This "dicotomy" between two brothers with opposite but complementary charachters is one of the BEST "features" of this series.
The writers seem to be treating him like an idiot lately for comedic effect. He's been shown to be really smart but since Sam is known as "the smart one" Deans intelligence is pretty ignored.
Its also generally true that Dean is just a better/more develiped character emotionally. We see Dean grow & change as a person over the course of the show in a way that doesnt really happen to Sam. A lot of stuff happens to Sam, & he reacts to those things, but they never seem to affect him long term. In the beginning this wasnt as prevalent, Sam was a bit more developed as a person, he had anger over Jessica's death, a desire for revenge, the way he slowly becomes more & more like John as the seasons progress. But as time goes on it feels like Sam gets less & less attention when it comes to developing his character emotionally. Hell rolls right off him without any lasting effects, as does being soulless for a year. He's mostly just there to react to whatever emotional state Dean is going through at the time
Remember when these two were in custody in season 2 and there was this code that was printed over and over on the crime scene and dean cracked it without any paper or pen? Yeah
Even though this is only the first three seasons, it shows how intelligent he actually is, and how many messes has he gotten them out of? Especially now that supernatural is complete, we got to see how smart he actually is and people need to appreciate that he’s NOT AN IDIOT!!
I love it when dean tried to exorcise that demon lady one time after Dean trapped her and she then trapped Dean by destroying the building around her and she makes fun of him for not remembering the exorcism words and he's like dang it lol
When I first started the show, I wanted so badly for Sam to be my favorite lead, but Dean quickly stole the spotlight, and Jensen Ackles is a better actor.
So I don't understand how during later season's Dean's depicted as an almost single minded, gun-toting killing machine whose main interests pop culture, fast food and loose women. He's weapons trained and good tracker, fights like the devil and is street-smart. Strong and resilient, he comes back again and again no matter how many times he's knocked back. His one 'preoccupation' is to look out for and look after Sammy - beyond that the writers basically made him a caricature which is such a waste of the potential of this strong character.
It's really awesome to watch videos about the first seasons, particularly I fell like I almost forget about all those things. Omg, 12 years, this is history
I saw the title watched it and was like isnt this obvious tbh I think they are both equally smart even though Sam is the brains of the operations most of the time
Here's my hot take. Dean is just as smart as Sam possibly a little smarter but he doesn't realize it because john brainwashed him to be the perfect soldier, following orders and not thinking for himself. He spent all his time helping Sam with school and protecting him that he perceived Sam as having all the value, including intellectual. That's why he stops putting forth effort.
A few pieces of advice, if I may. The transition between the clips should be the same for all clips; if you use more types, the spectator (especially people like me) get distracted from the actual content. Plus, they shouldn't be too complex. Also, the volume of the clips and the music used should be on more or less the same level. While I'm not against loud metal/rock music at all, I wasn't ready for the explosion at the end and it hurt my ears. I'm not complaining about the low voice quality in some of those clips, I know they might be hard to find... But maybe you should consider using scenes you actually can find in better quality.
I didn't watch the video yet, but I just clicked it to comment that even though I'm a Sam girl Dean Winchester is not an idiot, sure he's not as smart as Sam, but he's still very intelligent, besides Sam wouldn't be where he was had it not been for Dean, his "more than just a brother, a father and a mother to him"
I like how in the description it says ALL seasons, even though only three season's had come out. Anyway, idk why yt recommended this now, but whoever made this should be proud. Also, I hope you're still an spn fan
Kripke always had much more respect for Dean - he showed that Dean, as well as Sam was smart (because being a hunter requires more than just brawn), and when Kripke left, the writers started turning Dean into a joke. He rarely gets to show off how smart he actually is past season 5.
This comment section has me in stitches. Dean is a genius? Dean is a critical thinker? Dean just hid his intelligence to protect Sam? Dean is smarter than Sam?😂😂😂😂 You have to be joking😂😂😂 The man is defined by his massive impulsive character, shoot first ask questions later, and because of his reckless nature, it cost the lives of supernatural beings that did not deserve to die, as well as human lives lost. I mean COME ON. Sam was always the critical thinker, the one with his own mind, the purveyor of truth. Sam was the brother that always questioned all the information that lay before him. Hence why Sam questioned his father, questioned the morality and ethics of hunting. Sam understood that morality is a grey area and because of that, he refused to judge one by who or what they were, but rather by their choices. As a result Sam was a far more just, complex and intelligent individual. Dean blindly killed supernatural beings that did not deserve to die, simply by default, as they were "monsters". Amy pond is a prime example. The ability to think outside the box and consider all options when weighing a decision, always lay on Sam. This is why Sam is the intelligent one - because he IS INQUISITIVE AND QUESTIONS EVERYTHING. That is a critical thinker. Not Dean. I love Dean however he has other virtues.
Dean is more smart than Sammy but he is too good to advertise it cause he wants Sam to take all the credit and he is happy in Sammy's happiness After all he is the beat big brother 💗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 to dean from me
If I would have to ...kinda... "SINGLE OUT" ONE EPISODE of Supernatural that TRULY freaked the HELL out of me, was when they went hunting the ghost of that serial killer (...DAMN! - WASN'T IT H.H. HOLMES?? - correct me if I'm wrong!...) in the sewer-tunnels of Chicago - using Joanne as BAIT. It's shown here at around 00:50 when, after having him trapped with iron bars, they pour cement on the underground system. Can anyybody remind me what episode was this?? ...PLEASE?? :) PS. ...I'd like to watch it again, but there's so many of them!...
@@psychoreader7120 Demon Dean was better than soulless Sam, so my argument still stands. Besides, it's instinct that makes the better Hunter, not the ability to go without sleep and not feel emotions. Also soulless Sam wasn't hunting alone so...
Some of you guys forget who basically raised, trained, and taught Sammy
A trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Colt Liam definitely, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)
Sam's book smart. Dean's street smart. The perfect duo. (at least thats how I see it)
Shadow Realm agree. Always thought that
Both of them are book smart and street smart.
Perfectly put.
Sams also street smart n deans also book smart
Agreed
N' Bobby is language/symbol smart

Sam is book smart. Dean is street smart. Dean isn't smarter bookwise vice versa.
@@pamelap3343 well, Dean does read (e.g. Vonnegut reference) and he built his own EMF-meter out from scratch. So it isn't just street smarts
Dean works better with his hands. He is more of a hands on guy where as Sam is more of a head knowledge type of guy.
I don't think anyone has described Dean better than this
@@stopsunshine3402 but no one except Dean can play with someone's mind that good!how many times he has tricked Sam or Cas or Crowley or another angels,demons and...!
Sam may be book smart, but Dean is MacGyver.
It sucks that the new writers neglect to mention these things in more recent seasons...

We should send this You Tube to the writers cuz they've forgotten..
yep!

What happened to Dean’s leather jacket? I miss that
It was stolen. During shipping from one location to another for a photo-shoot. There was only one of its kind, so, there was no replacing it...
if Sam and Dean do the IQ test, Dean's result would be higher

Remember when these two were in custody in season 2 and there was this code that was printed over and over on the crime scene and dean cracked it without any paper or pen? Yeah
"ALL seasons up to 3x12" that's only a quarter of the seasons now, I love it!

They are great together both are smart, sweet and handle business!❤🤗😍
8:07 I love how Dean acts so serious and Sam is like "What?" 😮
11 years later...CZcams recommends this after 11 years?? 😂 Honestly, not complaining it’s a good video.
Honestly the more I watch Spn, the more I realize that my personality aligns so much with Dean.
He’s perfect
Different types of intelligence Dean is definitely smart but street smart not book smart (depending on the book).
Sam's dad is John Winchester... But he grew up under Dean's supervision their whole life.. He is closer to a father than a brother to Sam.
warning the end credits are very loud
This is amazing, Dean deserve a part 2, 3 and 729371 of this 💛
Sam is more like a smart guy and dean is more like a wise guy
Dean chugging down Phoenix ash was also very very brilliant.
Dean made a EMF out of a Walkman, I mean like bruh
Best hunter in the series
He's good at everything. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
So I don't understand how during later season's Dean's depicted as an almost single minded, gun-toting killing machine whose main interests pop culture, fast food and loose women.

And Dean said Sam was the genius. What's your point?
My god... this show has been running this long.
the fact this video is from 2008 makes me wanna cry omg
Same
THANK YOU.
Dean is sooo smart
In love how this is from 2008 and 2 seasons and a half is all we need to prove Dean is really smart
And this video is 15y ago. Only about 3seasons.
If whole series was considered then this video could go on for hours
I saw the title watched it and was like isnt this obvious tbh I think they are both equally smart even though Sam is the brains of the operations most of the time
This video is a relic
And he never trusts someone dangerous from the moment they meet even if they hadn't shown their darker side yet
I love how all the clips are from like the first 5 seasons 🤣🤣 cute
both have their own ideas on how too do things
He’s the best!
He can drive any "car" proceeds to show a cement truck which is, indeed, not a car lol
Oh my god 12 years ago that’s why it’s all baby Sam & Dean lmao
Here's my hot take. Dean is just as smart as Sam possibly a little smarter but he doesn't realize it because john brainwashed him to be the perfect soldier, following orders and not thinking for himself.

and that's just 3 seasons without all the experience he will gain later
Different "smarts" don't think you can compare them. Not being "academic" doesn't make you stupid. To conclude, they're both intelligent. 😄
Dean is the smartest and best hunter there is out there.
Just a tad reckless at times with a twitchy trigger finger lol.
yes he is
Dean is so smart and it hurts to see his character being called stupid because he’s a joker
I have hearing damage bad headphones and that shit at the end fucking murdered me
I didn't watch the video yet, but I just clicked it to comment that even though I'm a Sam girl Dean Winchester is not an idiot, sure he's not as smart as Sam, but he's still very intelligent, besides Sam wouldn't be where he was had it not been for Dean, his "more than just a brother, a father and a mother to him"
One of your many mistakes
Was assuming I am alone here
"dean s not an idiot"
i don t think anyone has ever that he is
Tell that to the new writers
@@amberxv4777 The writers and the writing really let them down imo!
Exactly.
back when supernatural was a bit scary and only about ghosts and monsters
I like how in the description it says ALL seasons, even though only three season's had come out.
Anyway, idk why yt recommended this now, but whoever made this should be proud. Also, I hope you're still an spn fan
It's right dean is not idiot he is Clever but crazy
“DRiVEs anY cAr” *shown reversing a truck* 🤦🏽♀️
im crying oh my Chuck
Season up to 3x12
Oh honey
Kripke always had much more respect for Dean - he showed that Dean, as well as Sam was smart (because being a hunter requires more than just brawn), and when Kripke left, the writers started turning Dean into a joke. He rarely gets to show off how smart he actually is past season 5.
that's not true!he still has the ability to trick others and has a perfect influence
This comment section has me in stitches. Dean is a genius? Dean is a critical thinker? Dean just hid his intelligence to protect Sam? Dean is smarter than Sam?😂😂😂😂 You have to be joking😂😂😂 The man is defined by his massive impulsive character, shoot first ask questions later, and because of his reckless nature, it cost the lives of supernatural beings that did not deserve to die, as well as human lives lost.
I mean COME ON. Sam was always the critical thinker, the one with his own mind, the purveyor of truth. Sam was the brother that always questioned all the information that lay before him. Hence why Sam questioned his father, questioned the morality and ethics of hunting. Sam understood that morality is a grey area and because of that, he refused to judge one by who or what they were, but rather by their choices. As a result Sam was a far more just, complex and intelligent individual. Dean blindly killed supernatural beings that did not deserve to die, simply by default, as they were "monsters". Amy pond is a prime example. The ability to think outside the box and consider all options when weighing a decision, always lay on Sam. This is why Sam is the intelligent one - because he IS INQUISITIVE AND QUESTIONS EVERYTHING. That is a critical thinker. Not Dean.
I love Dean however he has other virtues.
Dean is street smart.
Dean is more smart than Sammy but he is too good to advertise it cause he wants Sam to take all the credit and he is happy in Sammy's happiness After all he is the beat big brother 💗😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 to dean from me
❤️❤️❤️
Where Adam remember him half brother
dean isn't smarter then Sam and Sam isn't smarter then dean dean is the out of the box street smart brother and Sam is the intelligent logical thinker
I really want the old characters back
I just like dean

Seriously they wouldn't make it at the first place if they both weren't smart
Mannnn dean mann lol....i jus laugh this ma show smh 😂😂😂
T'amo Dean Sam wuigester
🙏✌️Gabriel
What is the episode where they got the death certificate from the copy store?
8:25 MY EARS
If I would have to ...kinda... "SINGLE OUT" ONE EPISODE of Supernatural that TRULY freaked the HELL out of me, was when they went hunting the ghost of that serial killer (...DAMN! - WASN'T IT H.H. HOLMES?? - correct me if I'm wrong!...) in the sewer-tunnels of Chicago - using Joanne as BAIT. It's shown here at around 00:50 when, after having him trapped with iron bars, they pour cement on the underground system. Can anyybody remind me what episode was this?? ...PLEASE?? :)
PS.
...I'd like to watch it again, but there's so many of them!...
its called no exit
Who the bloody hell said Dean was an idiot? I means sometimes he acts like one but we all know he's the best Hunter the world has ever known.
Robus WhiteWolf actually soul less Sam was a better hunter soo
Right dude he knew what a limerick was I don't even know what that is.
@@psychoreader7120 Demon Dean was better than soulless Sam, so my argument still stands. Besides, it's instinct that makes the better Hunter, not the ability to go without sleep and not feel emotions. Also soulless Sam wasn't hunting alone so...
@@chexlex1316 LOL IKR? And apparently he didn't do a whole lot of consistent schooling either.
@@psychoreader7120 he wasn't alone and he killed innocent people to do what he called hunting
2020?
What's the some at the end I know I know it?
