My (Elihu's) answer:

I think Fred and George only bothered to get any OWLs because they wanted to get into NEWT courses. Some of their jokes are probably based on stuff they learned at school; they wanted to expand on that. They probably never would have gotten any NEWTs, as their tests aren't the formal ones, but on how well they can do in buisness.
