You're reading way too far into it.
The joke comes from the fact that people say you need to study Shakespeare in order to be clever. However, Shakespeare did not study Shakespeare. He is just making a very simple joke making fun of that fact. It's not more than that. There is no further implication. It is a simple play on words.
