The name of the fallacy with the statement "The Gorps would have you believe that all you need to be happy is green beans, but those of us with heads on our shoulders know better'' is argumentum ad lapidem or appeal to the stone. This is the answer because the speaker is implying that the argument of Gorps is absurd but he is not providing any information or evidence that it's absurd. His only evidence is that 'those among us with heads on ours shoulders know better' and that's it.
