The sad part is, while he seems to have some knowledge of the subject, he very clearly does not know a whole lot about it. Just enough to make himself look somewhat foolish.

And weighs the same as a duck.
Actually the word is “bloop.”
For those of us who remember the Irwin Allen classic series “Lost in Space,” one of the characters during the first season was “Debbie the Bloop,” a space-chimp who had big ears and went around saying (dubbed, of course), “Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!”
Better check to see if it floats…

“BURN IT! BURN IT!!”
Doh!
I think there is a significant point being missed here; the fact that 90-whatever percent of DNA (junk or otherwise) is shared, is not necessarily reason to treat chimps as people, but it is compelling evidence that we share ancestry, particularly the ‘junk’ DNA in this case. This might seem a statement of the obvious, but there are plenty of Biblical Creationists out there who try to ignore things like pseudogenes and the implications of identical pseudogenes in humans and chimps.
Usually, I the creationist rebuttal I hear is that since a watermelon is 97% water, it has 97% similarity to a raincloud. Ergo, evolution is a lie you godless bleeding-heart liberal satanic French scum.
Of course, that ignores the fact that if you’re going to switch to compositional similarity rather than genetic, we’re 100% similar to chimps.
“Ugly bags of mostly water”?
You know, you may have hit upon an even deeper level of similarity between man and chimp.
This raises a question like a mustard gas cloud emerging from a sewer grating: do you really need an infinite number of chimpanzees typing, or will some lesser number do?
No worries.

Somewhere out there is a chimp with J Lo’s butt.
That can’t be quite right, since her butt makes up far more than a mere 6% of her body. 
I bet the J.Lo-butt chimp says more intelligent things than the J.Lo-butt person.
Probably more than six, although the experimental evidence is from monkeys, not chimps:
Hah! Language bigots. That just proves the researchers don’t speak parseltongue.
It gets my nucleowhites nucleowhiter and my nucleocolors nucleobrighter! Mine diverges from a chimpanzee troop a by .6% of a nucleoside and a phosphate group! A phosphoric ester, there ain’t nothin bester, three cheers for my nucleotiiiiidddees!!!
