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. Nothin personnel kid 😎
