Poll of the Day > It's sad when Rick and Morty fans think they are viewing high IQ entertainment.

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's really just there to entertain the meme addicted generation.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor 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 characterization - 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 realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE.

As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humur 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 unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them.

Wait so how deep is the cave?

Don't worry RC I got the meme

I just started watching Rick and Morty a few days ago, and you sir, are wrong on so many levels, to the point where it would be a waste of money if I had to explain to you why

And I don't have a lot of money on my hands

I don't care, or want to care, about today's cartoons.

90's cartoons however, are a different story.

It probably has less to do with the depth of the cave and more to do with the fact that only those of us intelligent enough to watch Rick and Morty may leave the cave. All other people feel like they're chained up, and forced to watch shadows on the wall of the cave instead, given how little they know of the world.

I like rick and morty a lot but anyone who claims you need to be really intelligent to get most of the jokes or enjoy the show is deluding themselves

And everybody who claims to have a high IQ, almost always has one below average, at best.

It's not without smart humor from time to time, but you don't have to be remotely intelligent to enjoy the show; the fact that it's as mainstream as it is speaks to that.

If it's so clever, why was it made in Paint? If you want credibility, look professional.

No not the copy-paste, OP's lack of self-awareness.

The gags vary in cleverness, but it's still a very fun show (although the pilot is god-awful and the first season is kinda spotty)

They're just a visible, seemingly obnoxious fanbase atm thanks to some massive memes and getting headlines over the McDonald's "riots"

I saw OP at WalMart once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, Oh, like youre doing now? I was taken aback, and all I could say was Huh? but he kept cutting me off and going huh? huh? huh? and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Nintendo Switch's in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like Sir, you need to pay for those first. At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the consoles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually to prevent any electrical infetterence, and then turned around and winked at me. I dont even think thats a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
