1: Something
people with higher than a 118 IQ find humorous but not overwhelmingly funny.
2: A joke or comedic event that
people whom watch rick and morty wouldn't get but may in many cases might nod along like they understand the joke.
3: Rick and Morty tries very
hard to be unironically "highbrow" but ends up just being as comical as the Simpsons season 24.
4: Intellectually stimulating, highly cultured.
A inspector visits a sanatoriun to
check its conditions.
During the tour the director takes him to one of their newly designed
test rooms, claiming its foolproof.
"We fill up this bathtub to the brim see? Then we hand to the inmate a spoon and a cup and ask him to empty the tub" Says the director
The inspector nods and replies with a smile "Ah, i see. And the inmate, if sane will choose the cup because it's the biggest."
The director then looks at the inspector and raises a brow "No, the sane
one will just open the drain"
Most
people without thinking would just pass this joke off as "
dumb" however, a classically intelligent mind would see some slight comedy in the twist, albeit an easy
one. Classic example of "highbrow humor."
