I've seen some clips, and it just looks like it gets its kick from crossing the lines.

It's p awful

No. South Park is social satire. Rick and Morty is more of a play on scientific theories with dry and often times cynical humor.

I understand satire, it's just that South Park is bad at it and appeals to morons

Eh.... not really. In some aspects yeah, but I wouldn't say they exactly follow South Park's model

Well I just watched the pilot. I was smirking a few times, but it wasn't as amazing as people claim it to be. Does Rick get better later on? He's funny, but he seems like a huge jerk right now.

When you are maybe the smartest man in the UNIVERSE and you know how pointless Earth and everyone on it is, do you suspect that person to be nice?

The pilot isnt even one of the better episodes. Keep watching. Rick doesnt get better, but he has his moments.

Imagine watching one episode (and the pilot at that) and saying well I don't get what all the hubub is about

Lol he's always a jerk because he's playing that archetypal smart asshole character. You like him because he's always right in theory. He does undergo development over the course of the show. All pickle rick and rick and morty fandom aside, I think it's a pretty good show, esspecially the first 2 seasons. A lot of funny jokes both science and non-science related, unique/interesting world plots, and surprisingly deep stuff. (I know I know, high IQ.)

Dude I'm not making a definitive statement, just my opinion after one episode. I'll obviously give it a few more.

Wait. Are there people that actually believe that Rick and Morty is a scientific/intellectual show?

I mean, I like the show. It's funny and there are a lot of interesting character dynamics going on.

I wouldn't say it's the same kind of humor as South Park. SP is more absurd, contemporary satire. R&M is more narrative driven.

I really like the show and I felt the same way about the pilot. I'd watch a few more episodes, you might like some of the next ones better.

Not nearly as crass or random, but about the same level of observation and adult humor.

Hey so why does Rick always do that weird barf/burp thing? Is that explained later on?

I thought it was from eating the seed, but it's still happening in the second ep.

Ah. I don't drink much so I didn't catch on.

Episode 2 is better than the pilot. The dog subplot is pretty interesting.

The first episode is a bit weird compared to the rest, i noticed that as well.

I have no id about the "Have to have a high IQ to enjoy it" i dont consider myself particular smart, and i did enjoy the 3 seasons...

Naw South Park usually has a point and isnt taking itself too seriously. Rick and Morty is all loose scifi and physics references with an added dose of teenage nihilism and a spastic fanbase....if you can block the fancringe out its pretty alright for the first two seasons.

It's basically a sci-fi family guy but an appreciably small amount funnier.
