Yes

Eats a gouda show!

obviously

No shit Sherlock

It had both reddit-tier humor and tried too hard to be MUH FEELZ in season 2, it still is a very enjoyable show, but I wouldn't call it the best.

Not deserving of the top 10 of iMDB tier, like iMDB thinks, but it's good

Its good but it sure as shit aint venture bros

Rabid fans of R&M are some of the least cool people in existence. The word "redditor" gets thrown around a lot in regard to this show, but it sticks because it's so apt.

It's a really good show, probably one of my top 5, but I wouldn't say best ever.

The word "redditor" gets thrown around by teenage idiots who try to fit in.

>Rabid fans of [any show] are some of the least cool people in existence

fixed that for you

>>87960903
Don't be daft. There is undoubtedly a certain type of person who loves "science, bitch!" that faun over R&M that the word "reddit" describes more appropriately than anything else.

Thought it went downhill in season 2.

Not bad, but not as good.

No

>>87960828
The second you start talking about the fanbase instead of the work itself you become the most reddit of them all.

>>87959245
Still my favourite episode

>>87961016
Please. Your show has all of the melodrama of R&M's season two, but none of the humor.

>>87960958
>Don't be daft.
You should follow your own advice

>the word "reddit" describes more appropriately than anything else.

There it is again. How is it that you know that? Seems like you browsed reddit too much, I suggest you go back there.

>>87959175
Shame the writers where kicked out so they could hire women instead because you know who complained
I won't be watching season 3 and i bet nobody will watch season 4 because there won't be one

>>87961072
The fanbase a work attracts is a reflection of itself. In order to inspire devotion from X, Y and Z it must have attributes that appeal to them and their sensibilities.

This argument that a work's fanbase has absolutely no connection to the work itself is facile.

>>87961124
A little touchy aren't you?

>>87961127
They didn't get kicked. There are equal m/f writers.

>>87961335
No, they got kicked you are full of shit

>>87961181
Explain the horse show then. It was a work made to target young children, but it attracted a bunch of 20-something losers to it's fanbase, and yet it offers no more than, say, the Powerpuff Girls.

>>87961411
What's there to explain? The easily digestible simple themes of 'friendship' & 'camaraderie' found an audience of young men on the autism spectrum.

>>87960126
oh yes, as opposed to that good ol 4chan humor
>morty yuuRRRP y-you gotta stop being such a cuck, MORTY
>oh geez, uh, i don't know rick, uh, you're kinda a big guy
>FOR YOU MORRRRP- MORTY

>>87961181
That's retarded. You're retarded. 90% of fans are just regular people who watch it every now and then and think "ha ha I like that show with the weird old science man". But here you come along and talk about the "rabid fans" and "fanbase", which is maybe 0.0001% of all viewers, and try to extrapolate sweeping statements about the show itself based off of their insanity. You can like or dislike Zootopia without bringing up the "fanbase" that just posts porn of sucking Judy Hopps' big bunny feet. You can like or dislike Avatar TLA without bringing up the "fanbase" that ships everyone with everyone. If you honestly think the "fanbase" has anything to do with anything you're braindead.

>>87961208
Not at all. I'd ask you the same thing, but I already know the answer. Good day to you.
>>87961600
you forgot

>cuck
>what did X mean by this?
>normies REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>87961614
Without making up bogus numbers explain exactly how the fanbase of a show is not a reflection of the show itself.

>>87961619
So catty in defense of your little show. Meow.

>>87961634
That's not how it works, chump. It's on you to prove that the fanbase (the ACTUAL fanbase, so 100% or near 100% of all viewers) act a certain way. You don't just cherry pick the crazies. You can do that with any show. I can say "Simpsons is a shitty show because of those three guys who built Lisa Simpson sex shrines" but it doesn't mean anything.

>>87961727
Without being lead by your loaded questions, it's self evident that in order for a show to attract a certain fanbase it must appeal to their sensibilities or else they wouldn't watch it.

That being so, the qualities of the fanbase are ipso facto reflective of the show itself.

>>87961844
Literally 100% of all shows have a percentage of viewers that could be considered retarded.

You claim that instead of judging the work itself, it is enough to isolate the retarded parts of the fanbase, then judge the work itself on whether that small section of the fanbase is retarded. This small section of Rick & Morty fans are retarded, therefore Rick & Morty must be retarded.

Therefore 100% of all shows are retarded.

Nice deflection fagtron.

Here comes the Reddit and Memey defense squad

Terrible misrepresentation of what I've said. I've made the assertion that it is self-evident that the audience a show attracts is a reflection of the program itself.

Explain how you can divorce a show from its audience entirely.

>Is Rick and Morty the best tv show wver?
Nah, but it's pretty funny.

I've always wondered why rick and morty gets so much hate but I kind of understand after this thread

>>87961078
>not the purge planet ep

I absolutely love it, but I don't think it's the best TV show ever.

Keep in mind you said TV show, not cartoon. That means it's competing with Twin Peaks, Breaking Bad, The X-Files, every other Dan Harmon project, and many many other very good shows.

>>87962032
I think what anon says is that you're correct that audience and show are related, but to call Rick and Morty "le reddit cartoon" is to cherrypick a subset of its audience as the only portion of the audience that matters.
