It's "whom" :o).

Are you sure? The "people" in "people ... are complete idiots" are the
subjects of the sentence, so surely the subjective case of who is
appropriate?

Yes, "whom" was wrong there, but that was the punchline: someone who is at the same time pretentious enough and dumb enough to say "whom" when "who" is actually correct, is the same kin as someone who equates price with quality.

I know, explained jokes suck...
