For those who don't know, dry wit is humor told in such a way that it's not always obvious. The weird thing about Archie is that his wit and humor aren't even obvious to him because it's unintentional. It's not laugh-out-loud-HAHA humor but rather something that requires a bit of thought to get. Try searching for videos of comedian Steven Wright.
David Cook is really funny and witty. Listen to his first impression of Syeesha as a mute. And then his interaction with Archuleta. Cook is right on. Poor Archuleta seems completely oblivious as to how lovably goofy he is. His confused face at the end is priceless. You can hear the crew giggling.
Syeesha calls Cook, "fancy." In some circles, that means gay (as in "fancy boy") but she meant intelligent. I agree, I don't think any Top 24 contestant has seemed more intelligent or eloquent. Can you imagine anyone else saying, "metaphorical blinders"? If I had met him, I would've thought that he's philosophy grad student, not a rock singer or bartender.
The two Davids can become a comedy team if this music thing fails. Of course, lovably clueless Archuleta may not be aware that he's doing comedy. I loved the way he asked, "What's dry wit?"

Check out the TV Guide poll and you'd see Archuleta leading by a lot in the beginning, with Cook skyrocketing up. Syeesha was always very low.
