thats not going to be true for all smart people in all situations... and that doesn't even count the fact that smart people simply come up with more clever boasts... and it doesn't even account for the age of the smart people since younger smart people might be more prone to boasting!
People tend to think that being smart means being perfect, that basically smart people are a bunch of perfectionists who are actually capable of being perfect. Pity that ain’t true.
Perfect as in never making mistakes. You might be surprised regarding the fitness issue. Being smart doesn’t necessarily mean “nerd,” especially if looking at the what a person is born with rather than what is learned.
What about all the depressing scenes, Morty getting almost raped, Rick attempting suicide, Rick giving up his freedom for his family, Rick sacrificing himself for Morty. The show is emotional and intellectual at different points, and to say otherwise is just licking the boots of the haters.
Robert Ward 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 😎
The show isn't smart. At first it started as a joke ig but some brainlet took it seriously and it kept spreading. If your watching it, don't watch it as a smart show.
OneTy i found more joy and enlightenment in any other good show like final space, avatar, even gumball.... or any good Cartoon Network show... what I saw in R&M was a trippy scientific ambience that is far to be avant-garde lol, and some cold fast jokes I don’t find that funny or intelligent. But yeah it’s a genius show ok.... if they say so
The irony of the rick and morty fandom is that they see themselves as Ricks but in reality they’re all Jerry’s. The funnier thing I was blocked by a lot of Rick and morty fan accounts on Facebook and twitter when I pointed out that they’re idiotic for causing a lot of havoc over a freaking 1998 sauce that people can easily make. Hell I even gave them the recipe for it since my uncle was a teenager when he worked at McDonald’s during the movie’s release back in 1998 (while I was 2 at the time). The recipe is half sweet&sour, half honey bbq (McDonald’s no longer sells that bbq so buying it at the super market is a good go to) and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce. That’s how you make the Schezuan sauce. It’s that simple. Ironic how people with such “high intellect” didn’t know how to make a simple promotional sauce they could make any time in their lives. Oh then again as one account told me “it’s not authentic”
I think the "authenticity" is the key. If a cartoon told them to eat stale dogshit from a poodle, they would. But offer them pug or chihuahua shit, and it wouldn't be the same.
"The irony of the rick and morty fandom is that they see themselves as Ricks but in reality they’re all Jerry’s. " This is the most apt analysis of the R&M fandom I've ever seen.
To all those 'genius' Rick and Morty fans... if you have to go around telling people that you are intelligent, that probably means you aren't. Intelligence usually speaks for itself.
To all those 'genius' Rick and Morty fans you need to do something smart that make me believe you're smart than telling people that you are smart because stupid people think there smart.
I love Rick and Morty, but that's because I know what it really is. Goofy jokes, made by goofy characters. There's nothing intellectual about it. It's just a couple of class clowns parodying back to the future.
I would definitely not say there is nothing intellectual at all about it; it has some deep points from time to time. They can quite easily pass over your head if you don't pay attention, it can be subtle at times.
@@CrazyGaming-ig6qq 3 season blow my mind the more i think about it, yeah its not realistic (as any cartoon shouldnt be) but inside the rules of the series, is an interessing tought about the weight of consequences and even grieff, i just love it.
Honestly the whole "You must be intelligent to understand those jokes" thing seemed more like a Meme to me. Nothing anyone would ACTUALLY take serious because the jokes honestly aren't that smart. But yet again someone probably really took these serious.

@@mike2207 If you honestly think that Rick and Morty is deep then you're a delusional wannabe intellectual but thats typical from a self absorbed Nihilist that believes anything on television programming that appeals to his confirmation bias.
I'm a fan of Rick and Morty and I'm here to answer your question of what makes this show so smart It isn't. This show isn't insanely clever or anything of the sort. It's just a funny episodic cartoon with very little plot. That's it, but hey, I enjoy it.
To describe the show I would say it is very creative, wacky, hilarious, funny and at times pretty clever. It's also pretty unique, even though obviously borrowing some themes, but it all comes together in a way that feels original and fresh. The voice acting is awesome too. Last but not least, it's not pretentious, it doesnt take itself too serious; yet from time to time does some deep stuff too. That's a great quality too. It blends drama, comedy, philosophy splendidly.
I like the show, but the hardcore fanbase are fucking retarded. They ruined it for everyone. If you watch it thinking you're new age Einstein, thats beyond me
I'm a fan of the show, but I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to fandoms and shit like that. Did anyone ever actually say that Rick & Morty is for smart people? I thought that was just a meme.
it was one person said it actually thinking it the rest was a joke in the community but this youtuber doesn't understand jokes unless someone sits him down and explains each tiny part of it to him
@I have a small dick but, If it's all contained to some Reddit forum, it isn't a valid representation. We should all know this. And we all know that the only thing that ever got mainstream attention is the high-IQ-copypasta - which is a copypasta, so...
Categórico there’s the chance the standard of comedy dropped by the time this was released which was just as the new generation was old enough to get the show therefore a low standard passes by a group with low bars allowing a low quality cartoon to pass as comedic...((FYI I find the show funny I’m just trying to explain a way for a comedy to have heaps of viewers even with bad comedy))
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand EZ PZ. The humor is very subtle, and without a solid grasp of hating cartoons, most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head.
The joke is that this pretty much sums up all of the Rick and Morty fans. They think watching a stupid cartoon means they have "superior intelligence", that speaks volumes about their actual intelligence.
Futurama was already edgy though from the beginning so it's not that much of a comparison, plus both shows have extremely emotional moments at it's core, Rick and Morty is just like how people saw black panther and said it sucked even though it is good like stopped hating on it because its fans are toxic like Undertale, not all of them are toxic either
@@kartunlandFuturama had a very balanced cast fun fact the writers did their homework on time travel, scientific terminology and yes multiverse theory. I think they did it better because their characters weren't fully nihilistic.
@@rjcorreia3788 Rick and Morty is good as a dumb comedy and nothing else, its attempts at Philosophy are laughably bad (It's literally just what the Goth kids from South Park preach complete with the hipocrisy and all) and there's nothing really inteligent about it at all. Best thing I could say is that its better than family guy but at least family guy is honest about what it is and doesn't try to fool people
I love Rick and Morty. And while I do think the show is overrated and the fanbase is cancerous, I don't think it's a terrible show. I actually think it's pretty damn funny. I just hate that the fanbase thinks it's this "super intelligent show" which it's not. The show is supposed to be stupid. Gonna have to dislike this one, sorry.

I really enjoy Rick and Morty but I don't understand why people are calling the show smart of intelligent, I don't think it actually teaches you anything, it's not even the purpose of the show at all. The fanbase built this shit up. Nevertheless it does display the audience a philosophy of life through their characters and their different personality, mostly a pessimistic one, on a humoristic ton (black humor), but in the end there is still some hope. It is distracting. Not a bad show at all, but is ruined by its popularity.
It's because old men wrote the jokes which require some hit or miss pop culture and history or scientific references. And the filler between those clever puns that crack us up is directed by a phone call pitch to some poor sod that has to figure out how to make something with it.
It’s because of science.... it’s disgusting how it can be like religion centros ago... it’s a disease... and fanatics build this canvases around it. Like hipster
Anyone who thinks a successful TV show is "meant for smart people" is only demonstrating their own lack of intelligence and corresponding narcissism. TV shows are made by companies who are out to make money, not by great philosophers with an important message that only a chosen few will understand. That's not say that a show can't contain smart elements that elevate it above other shows-Star Trek would be a great example of that- but on a fundamental level all shows are appealing to the lowest common denominator in some sense. If relatively clever writing manages to pull a few well educated intellectuals into the fanbase, then great. But by no means could a show expect to make money if those were the only people watching.
Harmon definetly does. Why does it matter though ? And who says it was her decision ? After all she's writing not drawing. Maybe the idea was that a therapist that could highroad rick, would have pretty good impulse control (after all maintaining oneself is what she preaches about).
Not bad dude. Not bad at all. My local McDonalds refused to carry the item because the town over from us had fist fights break out in the store for that shitty sauce. Great video dude.
when people are herded like sheep or cucks by a cartoon lacking in story, humility and originality is a sad, sad day for the human race.... it's time to give up, the earth isn't going to nourish all of us, we have to shepherd the rick and morty fans into the ocean in order to bring about their demise....
Not going to lie and not not saying not to hate but Rick and Morty is one of the worst animated shows I seen but I will give it props to holding down adult swim and did bring back its drought for like over like 10 years or some s*** like that yeah Rick and Morty saved adult swim but I just don't see why people like it it's weird I don't know I'll just rather would watch family Guy South Park the Futurama
I think it's a clever show. But the fanbase goes even further and says "YOU NEED A HIGH IQ TO UNDERSTAND IT!". They just keep jerking they're ego or smelling they're own farts.
Electricband 0123 A shame, I remember back in the preparation for S3 days the Fandom was somewhat alright, with only a few "highly intellectual" boys here and there. The musical boys didn't exist either, thank god. Decent days, decent days.
The most intelligent thing they did was use the multiple universe theory to kick a fourth dimensional being in his balls repeatedly. That's some high IQ shit right there. It just makes fun of intelligence and people who consider themselves intelligent. That doesn't mean the show is intelligent, it just kind of points out the obvious that humans are generally stupid creatures in spite of how intelligent they are.
I like the show, but you're right, it's gone downhill. The fandom is toxic, though not on the level of Stephen Universe, and Harmon is such an SJW it's painful. I thought the therapist thing was because he'd gone through this entire adventure with not-machete as a Pickle, getting coming closer to death than he had in the entire series, but the fact that it was a diversity hire jilling off her own ego makes much more sense. I try to mentally divorce an author from their work. Like, I still like Harry Potter, even if J.K. Rowling is insane.
It's gone downhill already? Damn South Park didn't start declining until season 16 (season 21 is better). If Rick and Morty is declining already then I expect the show to turn into complete shit in a few seasons.
PublicLee Speaking divorcing an author from their creation is actually the smartest thing to do, all books of H.P lovecraft are gems of horror but the guy himself was a racist prick, Stephen King is an incredible writer but he cant quite seem to get his life together, Walt Disney is the father of cartoons but he was racist and antisemitic.
You're right about most of the things about Rick and Morty. One thing I wish is that you would have ripped more into how the show is trying to use nihilism to turn viewers into mindless husks who just consume till their death. If anybody has heard Morty's "nothing matters, come watch TV" rant it's abundantly clear the intention of the show from that line and the show writers might even know what they are doing. Rick and Morty is a show that's marketing itself as deep, but really brainwashing desperate people so they can turn them into cash cows. Nothing wrong with making money, but the show is trying to deviously pose as something it's not sometimes.
i watched the whole first season and part of the second to see what the hype was about. i barely chuckled. too many "jokes" about eating shit. too many ongoing "jokes" that get tiresome real fast. that being said, if i'm going to watch and adult cartoon, i'd much rather watch King of the Hill, Futurama, or Southpark. Southpark is much funnier than rick and morty.
i think it's good tbh, maybe let people enjoy things and saying all the fanbase is bad and autistic is so generalizing, im sure you won't like it if someone hated your fav show so bad without bringing good points
@@raccoon2276 If someone said that about my favorite show, I would not care at all, because people’s opinions are useless to me if I already know I like something.
I used to have a roommate who was a stereotypical Rick and Morty fan and a Stereotypical Steven Universe fan. One part Reddit Athiest, one part Psuedo SJW Steven Universe fan, one part barely conservative and all part 400 pounds He was nice but sometimes those passions got in the way of having any meaninful conversations with him that didn't come off awkward
@@WoulverizerGames Or maybe sometimes you can make a judgment call about a dude you literally lived with based off the things he said and did. And, lets not pretend its okay to weigh 400 pounds.
@David Brotherton You can always pass judgement. Even if you don't know somebody. It's not okay, in the sense of: It's good if not even required to pass negative jugment about it ? Was it productive ? Did he loose wheight or matured as a person after you judged him ? Or did it get easier for you to let the relationship go ? After you labeled him as less of a functioning human being than you.
Boomy Rick and Morty fans are self aware? I’ve only ever seen arrogant SU and arrogant Rick and Morty fans, with some exceptions, but if anything, the Rick and Morty fans have been even more arrogant than the SU fans
I find it ironic really...I always thought the premise of the show was to poke the idiocy of people who take everything way too seriously and then you find people who take the show way too seriously....I mean I like the show but I wouldn't go to war to defend it
I like the show...but I agree with you arguments, Dan thinks he's the next Orson Scott Card but he's just above Seth Macfarlane, The fans don't know who Plato was and claim that are Nihilist PHD's. Give me a break Dan is a writer/producer, not a physicist not a single member of R&M staff has any real background in science, if the fans were truly genious then they'll be watching Carl's Sagan, or Neil deGrasse Tyson. Rick and Morty is fun and does throws interesting questions every now and then, but cmon, is not Blade Runner.
I think the show can be smart and have cool twist but yeah it is not amazing I am a fan of it but won't scream about it, the most I do is buy merchandise (the most is a 25 dollar shirt) and talk to friends about it, i have to say I really like it but hate all he crazy fans
Funny, I find Blade Runner to be not as intelligent as people make it out to be. It's just a good futuristic Noir film that influenced the industry well, and I appreciate it for that, but come on, the Directors cut of the film ends with a "is Dick-Ford a wobot?" (And then they stop bothering and just answer the question).
Jay Sherard he needs a terapist or stop doing what evar drugs they give to famuse people who a leftys .... But yes i am whit the rest of what you sad i watch it for joks end story tealing as well
Yeah, Rick and Morty is ok, but it’s definitely nothing that great. I preferred the first two seasons, because I thought it had better jokes, but even then, they weren’t anything particularly special. Yeah, Rick is a very Mary Sue kind of character, and that really does explain the fan base. Comparing this show to something like Futurama or The Super Science Friends, it’s definitely not a very smart show, because it lacks subtle, clever jokes or jokes about smart things (Super Science Friends makes jokes about some of the historical characters and science puns and Futurama has excellent consistency and very self aware writers). It just has a smart character, not smart writing. Also, I can’t believe that any content creator would publicly act that way! That’s so extremely unprofessional and immature! He‘s a manchild with the maturity of a middle schooler.
Zoltan Z that doesn't really seem like much of a explanation to me but I see where your coming from with the animation I know it's not for everyone but some like it same go's for the humor
What is with people and this "smart" show B.S. What is with "I can only watch shows as smart as me", or "You must be this smart to ride & understand this wit". I never can understand these arguments because they don't make sense. People enjoy different things and different types of humor exist, there is nothing inherently smart about 99 percent of modern comedy and even if there was some abundance of "smart" comedies, what is the criteria? "This show uses obtuse and lofty language that the modern layman cannot understand but unlike the modern pleb, we are of significant IQ to consume and delight in its frivolity.", Why not just watch Frasier and wank in a mirror instead, its faster and saves more time.
I thought that smart people are more likely to be unconfident because they tend to be acutely aware of themselves and their own flaws, but I guess this fine man at 6:00 proved me wrong
I thought the same thing. I do also like the gory deaths, as so many action shows are too afraid to have actual consequences, but I in no way thought of this as a deep or intellectual show. More like a show for drunk college bros.
But like any joke, somebody out there takes it seriously. Pastafarianism was something to laugh at when I was a kid, now I see people who take it seriously and actually believe in a noodle god. You can usually identify them by the Charles Manson look in their eyes.
Dan Harmon basically states outright in every second or so interview that he has about a dozen comedy writing tropes (rule of 3, call-backs, denial of expectation, etc) that he essentially recycles. Just like he did with Community.
Rick, in my opinion, is an intelligent yet severely foolish sociopath. Even in this made Rick and Morty universe, Rick is selfish, self absorbed narcissist. And the writers seem to use this to, I think, reflect their own attitudes towards anyone they disagree with and against anything they wish was not the truth. While I find this show to be funny at times, Rick, among other characters, is nothing more that nihilistic sociopath where "not giving a f***" about anyone or anything is his philosophy. With this, we the viewers are expected to hold this guy up as an example of what we should be. And what is the end result?... "An ugly show that spawned an ugly fanbase."
I disagree. I don;t think the show portrays Rick as someone to look up to. In fact, the entire third season was about exposing Rick for the miserable alcoholic he is, and show that his genius intellect is not what gives him fulfillment.
I think the key is happiness. Rick does a lot of impressive stuff and has fleeting moments of joy, but most of the time he's miserable. The show is basically saying "you think you want to be this guy but you don't". In that respect he's similar to Bojack Horseman, they both have above average levels of power, but because they're assholes they can't be happy.
Rick is shown on many ocasions to be a miserable man despite him being a genius always outsmarting everyone. I think his fans are mostly people who are sociopaths, miserable and lonely, who wish they would at least be as smart as Rick to have at least this going for them.
aSon's OpenJournal Yeah, so basically an actual cool genius character who isn’t lame like other scientist you see on other shows. Rick is basically God of the entire show and everyone else in it is just, pathetic, and/or limited like people in real life, so you can’t really blame him for acting like the way he acts.
Wow... when I was watching the show, I always assumed we were supposed to dislike most of the characters, especially Rick, who is a deeply miserable person due mostly to his own unpleasantness. I always imagined that we were supposed to see the flaws in Rick's selfish and nihilistic ideology and the abusive and unhealthy relationships between his family. If you watch it as a lesson in what NOT to be, it seems a lot smarter. But looking at Mr. Harmon... he might not be self-aware enough to realize what an asshole Rick is. I really hope he's not writing the character of Rick in earnest. That would be... very bad.
Yes he actually labels Rick to be an asshole. He talks down on people if they say something irrelevant, or he just ignores them. He does way to much to prove his point, to the point where he will do so much to teach Morty not to make fun of him. Yes, many people dislike Rick because of this, I know I used to. But really, this is all part of his origin/ because of it if you didn’t know. One theory is something I realized long ago. Love. Beautiful, right? No, not really. If you grow up with it, you put all of it into people you meet that you’ll definitely lose within your future, and it doesn’t matter if you still think of them, or if they still think of you. You did all of that for them, and it’s especially bad when they leave you when they stop respecting you for changing or growing into a person capable of being loved, but they hate it. Instead of ending it, they acted annoyed so you could act like them to torture yourself more. This is the same loop from season2. Rick met himself, and obviously respected him. Rick was smart enough to reject an idea from a friend, and let go yet he still lost everything he cared for. See the loop? People who start to see this, turn into those assholes that reject you. When he started hanging out with Morty, he became attached. He doesn’t have the effort to try and act like an asshole to show Morty he’s not trying to bond or get attached when he’s drunk. Dan Harmon wrote this into Rick, you think he thought Rick was the “good guy”? For some scenarios, yes. Rick has some other personality traits that make him likable, for example he’s funny and badass in my opinion. I don’t know if this is what you got from watching 5 episodes of Rick and Morty, but your opinion I suppose.
Adventure Time did it first. Now everyone is copying the art style, but in A.T it at least made sense for it to look that way because the tone of the show.
EZ PZ adventure time didn't create noodle arms ant that style had been similarly done countless times by way older shows adventure time is overrated trash
Tails and Scales it’s ok but something that really pissed off in the show is when Finn lost his arm only to get it back in couple episodes 5hat shit wasn’t fucking retarded
i heard in one of channel fredrator video that the creator (justin roiland) tried pitching 3 different pilots to FOX but they rejected all 3 of them. i still wonder if the show would have been as succesful if it were to air on FOX or TBS.
Ya know I'd love to see Trey Parker and Matt stone do a South Park episode on rick and morty and it's fans, just like they did with family guy. Trey and Matt would rip them apart lol
bambam shawami For 30 mins? Maybe it would be better to criticize the most cancerous fanbases as a whole. With references to specific ones. Because you can only ironically repeat "PICKLE RICK" so many times before even the comical criticism gets stale and painful
N-no South Park isss definitely propaganda, unless you’re talking about season 1 which was literally just garbage humor (dildo, penis, vagina, butt joke, etc.). They insert their political opinions and such all the time, especially in the most recent seasons where it’s almost every episode. Example: South Park will tell you that while Hilary Clinton was more fit to be president, it was her incompetence that led to Trump’s victory. This is a biased opinion, the definition of propaganda.
Really enjoyed the video, man. Personally, I am a fan of Rick and Morty and think it's a pretty entertaining and funny show. However, I completely agree with you that the fanbase is god-awful. They really put a damper on the show. I don't understand why we can't just enjoy pieces of media without idolizing them. As for Season 3, yeah, pretty mediocre and the writers brought in were pretty bad. There were some highs from Season3, but overall very mediocre. Again, pretty good video. Keep up the good work, man.
the only episode i really liked out of season three was the evil morty becoming president, and that was because i was just tired of morty being a stupid extremely replaceable(by ricks standards) sidekick.
Lot of salt, hate and toxicity in this. Let people watch what they want instead of being a downer. Dont like the fanbase then dont look at/read stuff from the fanbase. Its not that hard
WORSE. People consider this show intelligent, because it tackles themes of pointlessness of life, and the meaningless of existence. Turns out this is a demographic that's easy to impress; the nihilistic people who think everything in life sucks
Hahaha oh my gosh yes. Everyone I know who likes this show has at least a smattering of that philosophy, and/or thinks very highly of their own intellect. I would even say how much they like R&M is directly related to how much of a nihilist atheist they are. And the more they like it, the more likely they are to think that being smart and being a nihilist atheist go hand in hand. One even told me once that he sometimes wished he wasn't so smart, so he could have the comfort of religion like I do. I don't even think he realized what an insult that was. (But this was the same guy who sincerely told me that maybe if I read a book on evolution I would understand it better, even though we were friends for half the time I was in uni getting an honors anthropology degree & while I worked as an actual archaeologist, and he an English degree, so maybe he's just not always the most socially aware person :/ ).
In my opinion R&M is about overcomming nihilism by creating personal meaning in a meaningless world. Wouldn't nihilistic people be the hardest to impress ? Also love the show and wouldn't consider myself an atheist.
@Curious Scribe This outlook at life can make you more happier aswell. It's just a matter of perspective. Also you shouldn't hate anyone. Hate is just a lack of imagination.
@GoldenFox2109 At the end of the day, too many nihilists use this philosophy as a justification for their own mediocrity and failure to thrive. And it's a fucking Boring lame ass Sad Version of Fatalism nihilism is a self-defeating philosophy And Nihilist Prove themselves Wrong BY *JUST TALKING* simple as that they easily prove themselves Wrong Easy.

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 viewers 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 Turgenevs 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 😎
There seems to be a number of female SJW feminist fans as well. Of course some looove to draw the titular characters as trans or some other fancy gender/sexuality label.
GothicXZombie it's awesome seeing someone with a name like yours saying something like that. It's really gone downhill these days people need to just stop taking it so seriously and realize around the world people just don't care that much. It's not like they get hurt in other countries they just literally are tired about hearing it and just want it to stop and if you are gay just don't make a big deal about it yet they always talk about how it's so bad in other countries for them which it really is but then again they don't really care because they're too busy complaining about other things like cartoon shows not having enough of the kind of people they want
I was in a D&D group and one of the players a neck beard and “that guy” kept making Rick & Morty references that went over my head as I don’t watch the show (the voice acting annoys me too much) the guy than asked why I didn’t watch the show and I just said “ah I don’t really like it” and his response “Your just not smart enough to understand it” Now this was said in the first session of the game so pretty much my first time meeting him and you can imagine it was not a good first impression in fact he was the main reason I left the group months later (currently writing an rpg horror story about it).
Rick and morty is to me a pretty good show. But that's not to say it's flawed like some episode's can be a bit off and some of the jokes aren't really that funny, the fan base right now is just fucking cancer and those music.lys just make me wanna stab myself in the gut 100 Times. But for all that i still like the show and it's ok if you disagree:)
My IQ is over 220, and I make all As while I sleep through all my classes feel like I am Rick Sanchez while he was in middle school I'm way smarter than my parents and teachers and I hate having to explain my superior intellect to all of the idiots around me
So fun thing about that sauce. I worked at a McDonald's because my life had hit a bad point. When that came out our store was one of the first ones in the city to have it because of favoritism and the store being "privately" owned. Anyways a case of it went missing. Clearly we had a fan on the show or someone that wanted to scalp it online. Considering how the case was returned a week later, missing only a handful of packets, I would assume both the former, and that the sauce tasted like shit.
@@JukaDominator Franchises. It's a wierd world of business buffoonary. Some McDonald's are opened by the parent company to fill the niche in an area while others are stores that an individual or separate holding company own and a franchise fee is paid to use their imagery, menu, suppliers, etc.
People think this show is smart enough to require academic degrees? Jesus! It's fun but the only clever aspect I've ever seen is the way Rick can manipulate anyone he wants and regularly incorporates their predictable reactions into even his most improvised plans. But then his sociotope consists of an impressionable kid with pathological altruism, an adventurous tomboy, a neurotic cattle surgeon and Al Bundy's neighbor. Everything else is fart jokes and adolescent egocentrism. Sadly, that is exactly what public-schooled bitter nerds with a million participation ribbons crave. That and, maybe, electrolytes.
+Joe Kerr - Egomaniacs always find a way. They have to. If their confidence is crippled, their ego-preservation will come up with something. Or, wait, do you think that's a minority and most of " the cancer" are playing it?
Lieutenant Silver to be honest I don't know. I came across the show before it was big by accident purely because I listen to the guy who voices principal vagina and I was checking out his IMDb page. No one else I know watched the show until I introduced them to it. I don't go on Reddit so literally the only time I heard of these"super intelligent" Rick and Morty fans is when season three came and there were a ton of RU-vid videos on the topic. I think it's word because it's clear the show is pretty low common denominator it just has an interesting premise.i was tricked and shocked when I first read that copy pasta and thought no one could really think this. On a side not as well I think people think this is show that will have a big complex arc and I just don't think that will happen
I kinda get it. Cause youth. I'm gonna assume everyone in the comments was that nerdy kid who was always a loner and had that narcissistic mindset, ya know "NOBODY GET'S IT MAN! EVERYONE IS STUPID AND I'MMM SMART!". Yeah, we've all been there. Then you realize you're just some lonely little shit who has no life experience, but still acts like he's all hot shit, but has nothing to back it up.
You just earned another sub. Thanks for being honest. Rick is the wet dream of every edgy loser teenager who wants to do and be anything and at the same time being constantly under control of the situation to prevent any negative consequences.
I enjoy Rick and Morty because it's easy to watch. It's completely stupid, has no linearity and has no consequences within its universe which is so fucking refreshing. I just watch it because it's a show about a guy being a douchebag and having no repercussions later on unlike something like Star Wars etc.
Lord Mugfish Then you haven't watched it at all. The repercussion mainly lies within his family and yes they aren't present on our world but its still there. To say its stupid is mainly subjective I'll give you that but it doesn't attempt to bank off the science part to appeal to this reddit fat fuck group, the reedit virgin group decided to interpret it that way. It mainly utilizes dark comedy and that's the shows strong point I hope you at least agree to that.
William Patterson Not all of it is genius, most of it really isn't but this dude basically passed off a great show as shit... He even attacked the art which is retarded. Its so sad to see people hate on the show because some toxic people decided to call it their own.
This show can occasionally be humorous. But I have always felt it was a ripoff of Futurama, Aqua Team Hunger Force and Family Guy. This show is like a tile wall that is rotted behind the facade. All aesthetic, no structure.
I used to believe the show as smart. But i grew out of that phase. The characters don't shut up about how nothing matters and meaning is meaningless. Go ahead, try to live in the real world with that mindset. Try to work hard day and night for a career that according to you is meaningless. Try to pursue a relationship that you believe is pointless. Try treating people in your life as tho there are an infinite versions of them to replace them with. See where that gets you. Rick and Morty is smart only to the eyes of emo teens and adults who failed to grow up.
The point of the show is how contradictory Rick is. He believes nothing matters, yet he starts to love his family. Anyways, Rick And Morty is not meant to be smart 😭
so if I say a joke about hitler I'm a nazi? also, where's the proof he's a pedophile? drawing something doesn't mean anything, again, I could draw Hitler and I wouldn't be a fucking nazi
Darren R this is honestly up there with one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever seen. Making dark humor doesn’t make you a bad person. I make dark jokes all the time and know way in hell a bad person. People nowadays are so sensitive and get offended over absolutely everything it’s fucking ridiculous.
Honestly it's a decent show, it just has some bad stuff, and it's improving, like some of the stuff you complained about is being fixed, the only definite thing everyone agrees on is the fanbase it's not the shows that pretends like it's the smartest show, it's the fanbase (like the clip at 6:44 ) it's the fanbase pretending, and it gives the show some horrible rep. The clip at 6:48 isn't a smart joke, it's a regular joke, the the fanbase thinks it's a smart joke because it's Rick and Morty, (when I say fanbase I don't mean the whole fanbase, I mean most)
It's not just a regular joke, it's THE standard sitcom joke. All mudbrained shitheaded American sitcoms rely on it, several times an episode. "Boy, I sure would hate to see X right now"... cue X appearing. The "Not A, A" joke.
I don't know why I'm trying this since nobody's going to care about my opinion, but here goes. I'm kind of a Rick and Morty fan?? I enjoy the show, maybe it's garbage, but to me it's enjoyable garbage. I'm sad that Rick and Morty is compared with these cancerous, egotistical "intellectuals" who riot, and belittle others. It's an *adult swim* cartoon, not a scientific thesis. It might be cool to try the sauce, but the police shouldn't be involved. Not all Rick and Morty fans are like this, but they are a pesky minority. I disagree about Justin Roiland, I think he's a talented guy who tries really hard. Roiland says dumb stuff, but everybody does occasionally. I highly agree on Dan Harmon, he's a complete lunatic. Sometimes, his lunacy can be good, it's mostly infuriating. I enjoyed this video, it showed me to some new ideas. Thanks!
Hidden Squid the fanbase doesn’t suck bc all the reason people use to explain the fanbase sucking....those people don’t exist. The people you’re referencing that act the way that makes the fanbase suck they simply don’t exist
The fanbase sucks yeah, but I just like the show because I find it funny at times and entertaining. That's it. It's just a show and the people who think it's "smart?" Well, that's not the whole fandom anyways. A lot of the stuff people make memes out of are just jokes, not anything deeper than that. It's just something they found funny.
The only people more annoying than those who think they're smart for liking Rick and Morty, are those who think they're extra smart for not liking Rick and Morty. You can't really act like you're too smart and mature for the pee pee poo poo show when you can't even demonstrate an understanding of the show's intent. -You criticize the stylized animation for being unrealistic. -You criticize the sitcom format for not having enough over-arching plot. -You criticize the characters for being unlikeable, in a dark comedy where many of the jokes stem from the characters' flaws and mistakes. None of your criticisms go beyond personal preference. The show didn't _fail_ to have a grand story arc or moral characters or realistic animation because it wasn't _attempting_ to do any of these things. You don't dislike Rick and Morty because it's poorly made, you only dislike it because it's just not for you. The "It's bad because the humor isn't intelligent enough" point is the most annoying one. I don't care what a bunch of thirteen-year-old cringelords on the internet told you - Rick and Morty was never meant to be a high-brow, intelligent show and the tone clearly communicates that. It's not the show's fault that you had the wrong expectation coming in, and it's your own fault for holding on to that expectation after watching the show for thirty seconds.
Great criticism, almost as if a commenter reviews better than the actual RU-vidr, lol. This guy thinks he's so intelligent and complains that people see the show as intelligent... His arguments aren't even logical most of the time. You do make great points.
@J Jizzle69 Very true. What's with everyone forcing everyone to "pick a side"? My side is all of my opinions as an individual, not the sides the damn govt chose for me, lol. They both have ups and downs, you're absolutely correct.
I’m inspired by the show, it tells me people are easily entertained. You give them a bad guy trope from the 80’s and they lose their minds. Taking old ideas and turning them into a new thing is how everything works in marketing. It’s lazy and it’s effective, so imagine the shock on people’s when something original makes it though the gauntlet of ignorant hate and fear of change. It’s rare, so rare that it never happens. People are simple, if they don’t identify with something from the first look they tend to ignore it. Artist use basic emotions to connect to viewers, so original stuff can be accepted. Hacks slam pre-established ideas together, and get a company to pay starving artists to make it worth looking at. That’s how you get most of media these days. The writers get away with a lot of “borrowing” of ideas by calling themselves fans of the original material. The best option these days is go independent and find your audience somehow, so you don’t have to be popular just skilled.
I feel like a lot of this video has decent points, but a lot your arguments are just verbal attacks on the creators and fans, which isn't really a valid argument.
Yes! I usually enjoy watching critiques of films and series I like, because it gives me a different point of view. But he is basically just ranting and "confirms" his absolutely black and white points with the most extreme examples he can find. It seems like he doesn't reflect at all, but just decided to hate this show and searched for reasons to hate only after building his opinion. It feels like he just needed a successful franchise to shit on, because it creates views.
