believing you're immune to the influence of messaging in media is about as crack-headed as thinking you'll just do that heroin once a month, as a treat

Personally I've found things like the later to be pretty easy. As to the former, have you considered being more like Rick Sanchez and viewing everything with a sneering disdain?

they made a couple good jokes about some kind of promotional mulan secret sauce that mcdonald's did a million years ago, and it took off to the point that mcdonald's temporarily brought it back, and all the rick and morty goobers drove like 2 hours and bought out the entire stock immediately and threw hilarious baby tantrums when they couldn't get any more

as with all things the worst part about it is the fanbase, but in this case it's also the funniest

grown adult men spending half their day and a hundred dollars worth of gas to throw baby temper tantrums over some kind of movie sauce that a cartoon told them to like

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

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 😎

latest season better than last season. had a couple of pretty decent episodes. there was one that was spectacularly up its own rear end in a very dan harmon way though

I do hate whenever we're asked to feel sympathy for rick and his plight when I'm pretty sure he's committed a few xenocides

There are never any consequences for his actions because he engineered his portal gun to only go to universes where that is true. The last season ends with a cliffhanger of Evil Morty breaking out of that bubble.

Yes this writing is incredibly up its own rear end and no the writers won't be able to pull it off. However I am still going to stick around to see how it turns out.

In the words of a very miserable man "Wubba lub dub dub"

I haven’t seen the show and assumed it was bad because of the commercials but then I heard they were getting McDonald’s to bring the Mulan Szechuan Sauce back which is the best dipping sauce they’ve ever made so I thought maybe the show was good but then a bunch of grown men did pickle terrorism in McDonald’s so hard that McDonald’s will definitely never bring the sauce back so I think the show is irredeemable now.
