If you want to be recognized in orc society, you need to be strong or smart, you need to demonstrate how strong or smart, and you need to do it in a way that people care about. Punching a mountain in half is impressive, but Orcs probably wouldn't consider you important, just strong. You need to be strong and helpful. Same with smart, you can know everything there is to know, and nobody will care unless you apply it in a way that helps the orcs.

I call this one "Krah am many strong" yes I am better with the silly and the pixels

It isn't that they're dumb, it's just that their culture basically teaches them "orcs are big and strong and everyone else can go cry themselves to death because they are not big and strong", and that's the attitude orcs have around other species. If orcs weren't paying attention to your instructions it probably isn't because they weren't smart enough, but because they didn't care. As for orcs seeming unintelligent just through what they actually know, it's because orcs aren't raised to read and write and be good at maths like humans, elves and dwarves are. They're raised to fight. Ask an orc 2 + 2 and it's a crapshoot if you'll get a proper answer, but ask him to kill a dangerous human with just a pointy stick, he will probably know exactly how to do it before you're even finished with the request. Of course... it's easier to see orcs as smart when my own is deliberately clueless.
