I'm ignorant of the show almost completely, but I watched most of the first episode and really couldn't stand either Rick or Morty's voices so that killed any interest I had in the show and I stopped right there.

It's a funny show, but it's not even in the top 5 animated comedies ever.

I haven't met the "terrible fanbase" besides the references and memes on Reddit.

It's deeper than a lot of adult animation, but it's nothing prophetic. Its message is just accessible because of the si-fi and fantasy elements and toilet humor.

I enjoy it

I can see the humor in it easily, and I really just don't care.

Iunno what it is about the show. It falls perfectly into my sense of humor. But my friends made me watch the first season of it, and I had no desire to keep going after that; I didn't even want to keep watching that one season.

I don't feel I'm missing anything worthwhile when I choose not to watch it.

I have a few thoughts. Overall it's a terrific show, but the quality is all over the place right now and it feels like it's still trying to find its footing because it got popular really fast. Perhaps it never will because the humour is so whimsical and ambivalent. What this overall means is you get some terrific episodes and some stellar moments, and then a whole lot of fart jokes.

Then there's the fanbase. The fans are the worst. They think they've tapped into some kind of higher culture that only hipsters know about, even though you can't get away from the show right now. It has Kim Kardashian popularity but for some reason the fans act like they just discovered a new indie band. The memes are the worst.

So in basic terms:

Show: 8/10
Potential for show: 10/10
Fans: 0/10
Memes: -20/10

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

Quickly became one of my favorite currently running shows.

I think the "terrible fanbase" posts outnumber actual cases of a fan being annoying about 20 to 1 in any of these topics.

I recently watched it for the first time (all of the way through). The first episode made me wary, but it picked up pretty quickly.

This, usually that part of the fan base is just on YouTube trying to shill out their bad ideas

Great show, but the current season is losing me.

The exact same thing happened to Community, in my opinion. Around the third season, the show bought into its own hype, and descended into exaggerated self parody as it went on.

I know this isn't a popular opinion, and I'd love to be wrong, but I really think that Rick and Morty's best days are already behind it.

I do agree with this actually, but I still enjoy the show none the less. It just isn't AS great as it once was imo

That is pretty petty. How often do you interact with the fanbase?

top 3 current cartoons (with The Venture Bros. and Archer.)

but it's going to need to keep up the consistency for a couple more seasons to get into the all-time greats discussion. (and, while I've been enjoying S3, much of the rest of the internet seems to think it's a sizable drop in quality)
