To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bottle Flipping. 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
Bottle'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 realize that they'
re not just funny- they say something
deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bottle Flipping truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Bottle Flipping epic," 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 Bottle Flip 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.
