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 viewers head. Theres also Ricks 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 theyre not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldnt appreciate, for instance, the humour in Ricks existential catchphrase Wubba Lubba Dub Dub, which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. Im smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmons genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens.

I hate it when I'm enjoying media and the fan base crawls out of the TV and ruins the experience for me. That's why I hold a gun whenever I play Undertale.

Unless they are in the room with you, holding you down and your eyes open, you don't have to watch it. It's ok if you don't like something. Not everyone has to like all things at all times.

I first heard of the show through the fans on other websites, but I didn't start watching it until my brother in law showed me some clips from an ep. I quite like the show.
