Rick and Morty is not intelligent

I agree (at points)

I could never get into it. I tried. I truly don’t understand how or why people find it good but a lot of people love that show. I’m not one of them.

I enjoyed many parts the show but didn't love it obsessively like some people. I think that it's popular because

  1. it's geeky and fourth-wall-breaky - which is where the "high IQ" idea comes from,

  2. it's actually completely accessible to low-IQ people, as evidenced by the fact that it's popular with people who brag about having a high IQ,

  3. it's silly and slapstick, which when combined with point (1) creates

  4. constant reversals of expectation, which are a very effective form of humor,

  5. it's in-your-face and edgy, which appeals to people who like to think of themselves as rejecting the mainstream, despite still being very mainstream, and finally

  6. it is extremely memeable.

A winning formula regardless of the writers' creativity. And some episodes had a pretty creative premise. The Microverse Battery episode could stand side by side with The Simpsons before The Simpsons turned into a parody of itself.

you're just mad you aren't enlightened enough to understand the eloquent humor of pickle rick

[-] Steeve@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

You probably just didn't understand all the intellectual jokes for high IQ individuals like myself

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bold of you to assume you have a high IQ.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

To be fair you need a high IQ to understand
