Oct 23, 2017To 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 characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volyaliterature, 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 humour in Rick's existencial 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. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Just ignore the reddit circle jerk and watch it, it's good but people think they have to be really smart to get the humor when that's not the case.Ordinary Joel, Deadpool, pluto✰ and 7 others like this. -

It's so cringe, and it sucks because there's definitely smart humor/writing in the show. People just make it out to be way deeper than it is and think they're really smart for understanding it.Ordinary Joel, Sqrt Sqrt and Lucy like this. -

yeah like this s----s so lame, it's not like they explicitly go into detail about things like wormhole's and travelling through space, relativity, multi dimensions etc. it's more like it references science and space sometimes lol. like, its still just a 15 minute cartoon featuring a smart-guy lead character.
also i know some people with pretty severe cases of s--- for brains, they still love the show.Ordinary Joel, Sqrt Sqrt and DKC like this.Nov 20, 2025(This ad goes away when signing up) - Nov 20, 2025
