Why is /r9k/ incapable of grasping high-brow humor with sophisticated and witty references to science, philosophy, psychology and other advanced and interesting subjects?

To be fair, though, 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.

I am sorry that, instead of properly addressing your own psychological problems and insecurities, you lash out and project said issues onto me in a hostile manner which only serves to protect your fragile ego and cover up your own shortcomings. Good luck with all that though.

This man gets it. I'm afraid that most people here simply lack the intellectual and existential faculties with which to comprehend the kind of high-brow intellectual humor in Rick and Morty. I pity them, really, and I believe that we, the cognitive elite, should try to help these poor fools and enlighten them as best we can.
