To be fair, you need a fairly high iq.

don't do it

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. 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 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 realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial 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 unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty 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.

Thats 2 times too many

Imagine not liking Rick & Morty. Perhaps you should stick to PewDiePie videos. They're probably more your speed.

"I don't like this show but I watched a whole season."
"Also, please believe that I'm not just trolling."

you mean he is a super genius so high above us all that even Stephen Hawking would be a wreck before him?

then yes, he should watch PewDiePie as Rick and Morty is so below him it would be unwatchable

"Is comedy show I didn't find funny supposed to be funny?"

Why do people even bother making these kinds of posts? lol
---

I didn't say I didn't like it, it is entertaining, just doesn't make me actually laugh

but apparently you all have your own insecurities to deal with
---

I enjoy the show but I didn't laugh much at it either hah
Of course I rarely laugh anyway
---

I wouldn't say it is uproariously, laugh from your guts type funny. It's more like a snicker to yourself type funny.

Some comedies are like that. I suppose on the spectrum between 'that's funny' type comedies and laugh-out-loud comedies, R&M pegs further towards the former with me.

At least until somewhere in S2, where it started losing the 'that's funny' vibe as well.

There's one guy on the cartoon board who's the most stereotypical Rick and Morty fan. He always has to make some unfunny smartass comment even though his opinions are all 100% safe.
