The humor isn't more high brow, but it's still much smarter. It's very nihilistic in its dark humor. sorry to disappoint you but the humour's not that smart cf: You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor normie to understand why this show is so popular. These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters. Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases. Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick normies into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Rick and Morty. --- don't worry, it ain't about me cuz i don't let misfortune bend me all outta shape <cite>LysistrataMedea posted [p:885568900] in I've never...

LysistrataMedea posted... sorry to disappoint you but the humour's not that smart What do you consider a smart televised comedy? animation? most TV isn't smart because it has to appeal to a mass audience. MTV's Downtown is probably my go-to pick for 'smart comedy' but it's not exactly 100% a comedy. Home Movies is probably the 'smartest' adult comedy, not counting super obscure shit like The Critic or whatever. edit: early Simpsons is also a contender for smartest cartoon comedy tbh --- don't worry, it ain't about me cuz i don't let misfortune bend me all outta shape <cite>LysistrataMedea posted [p:885569130] in I've never...

They are funny, let's say that they are smarter than family guys jokes, but dumber than futurama ones. You do not have to be an intelectual genius to understand the show, it's easy to watch and most of the jokes (while funny) aren't a "omg I am so smart to understand that joke" kind of jokes(if that makes sense). Still a pretty good show though. --- Losing an argument? Ends it with but...but...Hillary and her emails! <cite>epik_fail1 posted [p:885602385] in I've never...

Otherwise, they don't really do anything new, and the quantum nihilism was already done by Futurama. Not that Futurama is much of a comedy either.
