You can basically boil it down to "This sense of humor isn't my sense of humor, therefore everyone who likes it is this caricature strawman I've spent three paragraphs describing as a substitute for my own insecurity about being exluded from this social phenomenon". To say the show doesn't elaborate on the philosophy it espouses is pretty absurd, though. The show is not designed as a platform for philosophy, it is a comedy show about farts and burps and the absurdity of existence that sometimes uses nihilistic principles to drive home the episode's plot. The "Roy" game is a perfect example. It shows how inconsequential a life is from an unattached spectators perspective. At the end of the day, all the hardship you go to is may be as meaningless as a highscore in an arcade game after you die, and if that's the case then self-validation and hedonism are the only point. The show isn't trying to convince you that belief is true, but it is using that uncomfortable train of thought to compound the flippant behavior of Rick and, thus, the dark humor when he mocks Morty's "playthrough" ect. People who seek this point out are seem to be just looking for a reason to disagree with the show, considering this is far greater lengths than most comedy will go to to make you think about these things. I don't get it. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:876864351] in So I start...
