In The Big Bang Theory S4E12, Sheldon made the following comment on Penny's idea of the 'Shoe App':

The simple-mindedness of your idea is exceeded only by its crass consumerism and banality.

Can anyone explain what is he trying to say in layman's terms?

    He's saying her idea is stupid, and useless... I have to ask, Is there any specific reason why you put Sheldon's credentials in title?

    This appears to be a simple English language comprehension question & may have been a better fit for English Language Learners

Simple-minded = Stupid
Crass = stupid and insensitive
Consumerism = Obsession with material objects and wealth
Banality = Boring and unoriginal

So, in layman's terms: "Your idea is stupid, greedy, and boring."
