To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick

One of the aspects that makes it great:

It will run with a concept in a way that few shows since the Simpsons in its heyday ever have. In The Ricks Must Be Crazy, the episode runs with two different concepts: an artificially created universe that exists solely for the benefit of the creator of that universe, with the consequences of the inhabitants of that universe in learning the true nature of reality, and then the concept of a seemingly all-powerful artificial intelligence given the task to keep a single person safe, and how it accomplishes that within the changing parameters given to it.

In Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, there is a fantastic running gag where Rick and Morty, trying to escape the Council of Ricks, pass through a Pizza Universe, where pizzas sitting in chairs make a phone call to order humans, a Phone Universe where phones sitting on pizza make a call on a human to order chairs, and then a Furniture Universe where chairs sitting on humans make a call on a piece of pizza to order phones.

It's just not that funny. I watch stuff to be entertained. the "really makes you think stuff" is secondary.

For me it's because the sci-fi is so strongly written. The alternate realities/worlds are imaginative and consistently interesting. There's a great little moment when Morty plays an intergalactic VR game and experiences a mundane life followed by an emotional battle with cancer, family issues and eventually slips off a ladder and dies...it's so brilliantly tragic when Morty wakes up and cries "Where's my wife?!?" before shaking himself back to reality.

It's those brilliantly insightful bits of sci-fi mixed with a clever but organised randomness that sets it apart from other animated adult comedies. It's so full of different ideas that are both interesting and rich with emotion that, for me, it's just perfect.

its just not that funny. like your thread it is trying too hard

the characters: Rick is a loose cannon reprobate genius scientist, whos is completely reckless selfless a and amoral. The father is a complete simp, morty is the unwilling simple sidekick. R rated cartoons are generally quite good just because the amount of profanity they can use. They have different things going on each episode, and still have long series arcs. The stories are very well written and thought out, and multilayered. Technically the show is very accurate with the science. The show has a lot of easter eggs too ( clues for fans). Overall its the best cartoon i've seen on tv.

I just fucking love Rick and Morty, in the way that I fucking love science. It's so random and cool - it's like the show was designed for us Redditors, see? My mom says I have an unhealthy obsession with the show, but she just doesn't understand how funny it. I wish I could live in the Rick and Morty world and be their friends. Everything would be really and cool and funny if I did. Rick and Morty are so funny and I'm so awesome that it would make perfect sense, but it'd be even better if Bernie Sanders appeared. It'd be so awesome I'd turn up the TV in the common room of my dorm up all the way so everyone could hear the greatness of Bernie Sanders, Ron Paul, bacon, weed, atheism, The Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Sweden, Bill Nye, 90s cartoons, cats, and fucking loving science. I run the Rick and Morty Club at my school - we come together, browse Reddit, make some Deadpool memes and watch Rick and Morty. We don't talk to each other but there's a cute girl there I'm gonna try and ask out. I'm a nice guy and I dress well (fedora + trench coat + brown-stained underwear + well-trimmed beard lightly seasoned with dust and corn syrup) so I just know I've got a good chance with her. I've already messaged her on Facebook, I just haven't got a response yet. Anyway, back to the topic at hand: Rick and Morty! My favorite character is Rick because his style of humor perfectly reflects that of Reddit. I bet if I asked him "When does the narwhal bacon?", he'd know EXACTLY what I was talking about. Also, did you notice he looks like Bernie Sanders if you squint a bit and use your imagination? This can't be a coincidence; MLG Illuminati confirmed. Yeah, that's right, I look at montage parodies too. What good Redditor doesn't? Lenny face, Illuminati, and Doge are so funny. If I met Rick and Morty I'd be sure to show them all those funny and awesome memes and more!
