Merry is smarter than Pippin, but that doesn't mean he is dumb. Pippin isn't dumb at all, just clumsy.
Later in the books, Merry and Pippin see war and death. They meet new people and travel very far from the Shire. All of this affects their lives. After being in such a serious situation, the hobbits have no choice but to grow up.
