Does this make any sense or should I put "Do you expect me to say something intelligent?"? Thanks for helping me! Please no half-witted answers, thank you.

I must respectfully disagree with the preceeding three answerers. I repeated your sentence several times and it just did not sound right. Then I think I now know why. Intellectual, when it is a noun, usually describes the person. A presumably learned, educated, well-read, thinking person.
Generally whan the word intellectual is used in another sense it is an adjective or less often an adverb. A few examples will make my point clearer. Your sentence sounds better as " Do you expect me to make an intellectual statement?" or "Let's discuss that intellectual concept, tomorrow?"
An example of intellectual used as an adverb is, "She discussed the subject, intellectually with an erudite manner, and considerable insight."

I hope that I made
