Du hast doch nicht alle Tassen im Schrank - German, you don't have all your cups in the drawer.

Telling someone he is stupid via comparison to cups. Why? Who knows.

    It's like saying somebody is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

    My favorite way to say that somebody is stupid is to say "Er ist dumm wie drei Meter Feldweg", translates to "he's as dumb as three meters (a bit more than 9 yards) of dirt road".
