Proto_Spark 07/13/21 9:34:48 PM #4:	Its a show that pretends you can't both be smart and not an asshole, so a lot of stupid assholes get to think people don't like them because they're smart, instead of because they're awful.

TurtleInFreedom 07/13/21 10:13:47 PM #10:	The show makes use of a lot of philosophical ideas, so in a way I guess you can say it's for smart people, but if you know the philosophical references it's just an edgy show and not much else. The biggest theme in the show is Schopenhauer's philosophical pessimism. Existence is pain, supremacy of will, etc. <cite>TurtleInFreedom posted [p:956057911] in Is Rick &a...

Naysaspace 07/13/21 10:14:34 PM #11:	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. And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

DyingPancake 07/15/21 9:24:54 AM #26:	Its probably one of my favorite animated shows of all time, but I have never understood how some people genuinely think its smart. The writing can be incredibly clever and there is a lot of original ideas at play, but its obvious you dont have to be smart to enjoy it.
