As we all know, Brutus is far from being a genius and I'm surprised at Veeblefester's restraint at not making a joke about that and instead focusing on Brutus' body odor. Veeblefester is also wearing a dark gray suit and a purple tie instead of his usual black suit/yellow vest/purple or yellow tie so Veeblefester must've made some kind of New Year resolution to dress more modernly and not aim for low hanging fruit when he insults his employees.
