The humor is way more low brow and it's apparently pretty hit-or-miss as well. If it's a hit, you'll really like the show, if it's a miss, you probably won't stand it.

It's more jaded and off-the-wall. But underneath that there's typically a brilliantly constructed motif that plays out beautifully.

Basically, it's like family guy but for people with brains.

I liked the jokes in futurama because their was really better written than those in the simpsons. I guess the Simpsons jokes are easier to understand for most of the population.

Futurama was brilliant but this show ain't quite like that. Futurama had a sort of bittersweet and lovely twinge to it at times. Rick and Morty is just pure nihilism.

It's a pretty brutal show and it gets darker with every episode. The show enjoys lampshading the worst parts of humanity through absurdist and nihilistic humor.

The show kept popping up on here and I had to see what it was for myself.

I loved everything about it and got my brother into it as well. It's not just funny, it's also quite fucked up when you break it down.

To me, one of the key things that keeps Venture Bros above Rick and Morty is the former's ability to deliver characters who are the same kind of self-absorbed fuckups as those in RnM, yet are still thoroughly likable to the audience; RnM's characters are downright insufferable on both sides of the screen. I could actually see myself enjoying the company of Brock, Rusty, 21, Billy and Pete, etc; I couldn't stand being in the same room with Rick, Morty, Summer, Beth, or Jerry for five minutes. That doesn't mean I don't still love watching RnM; I love Always Sunny, even though the characters are human garbage by design. It's more a testament to Venture Bros ability to create an endearing and broad cast of characters than a knock against RnM.

And also this, the burp talking is fucking annoying, it's like something you'd expect out of one of these modern Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network kid's shows.

I love it personally. I love the stammering and stuttering too. It takes all the glossy finish off the show, like a real cross-section of human experience set to a backdrop of extremely bizarre and violent galactic hijinks.

Yeah exactly, the stuttering makes the dialogue almost uncannily realistic compared to the manicured scripts of most media.

Really, did I ruin it for you? So now when you try to watch the show, you'll be thinking about that comment that pinky0926 made and how pretentious it was and you can't enjoy it anymore because pinky0926 said something smug-sounding on a message board that one time, really

Wow, this smug post literally just ruined RnM for me. I never thought it could happen, but there it is.

lol. 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.

Rick and Morty fans are like MLP fans except worse since it's not always obvious the shit that they're spewing all over the place is from Rick and Morty (see: McDonald's Mulan Szechuan sauce) but they're just as annoying as MLP fans.

I hate to give a 4chan post credibility but I've seen a lot of Rick and Morty fans with an attitude like this (I.e. smug, not as smart as they think they are), especially in cartoon fan circles. Obviously that's not all Rick and Morty fans.

Yeah. The show is hilarious when I watch it. I just wish people would stop running the fucking shit into the ground every time a new episode gets made.

I don't really consider myself a fan, since I generally only watch it when a friend puts it on at their house.
