It's a clever show, but it does have its faults in that it relies heavily on Deus Ex Machina to get out of most problems. I find it funny how watching a cartoon and getting the jokes about basic college science theories makes you $00per intelligenter than people who don't care for it.

All fandoms just kinda blur together into a massive :autism: shitstorm once they reach the top of the spectrum, so it's hard to really differentiate them from one another.

There's probably enough content on deviantart though about Rick making Morty super-pregnant though.

If you're so nilhistic, then stop giving a shit about your show
Also, stop getting mad at comedy shows.

I've been (mostly lurking) on reddit for six years and making annoying pop culture references in unrelated threads is just what people do there. I'm surprised redditors are just now noticing this is what their site has become.

The other day on campus, a girl wearing a Mr. Poopybutthole costume and her friends shouted random quotes at me when I was just trying to get to my apartment. I wasn't even wearing a R&M t-shirt.
The cringiness of the fans managed to destroy my interest in the show. Besides, Futurama's way better.

It's think this is more of a millennial thing, but why does it seem that nearly every successful cartoon, TV show, video game, comic book novel, etc that has come out in the past 5 years has had this happen to it?
These different works of fiction and art go through a timeline that is similar to this:
1.X finds success.
2.X gains a following.
3.Fans of X read into the source material way too much and take the product too seriously.
4.Fans of X are aggressive towards outsiders of the fandom.
5.Internet then begins to hate X. This more often has less to do with the source material being bad, but rather the fans are just so obnoxious that people don't want to share interests with someone this unpleasant to be around.
Maybe it's because I haven't watched Rick and Morty in awhile, but I don't remember it being a Nova special in cartoon form. These people have to realize that at the end of the day, it's a dumb, fun comedy on AS, not a pretentious Terrance Malick film with an intended audience of self proclaimed geniuses.

I enjoyed the first two seasons but was apparently living under a rock and didn't realize how terrible the fanbase was until recently (I'd only chat about the show with my friends at the pub, I didn't participate in any online discussion). When I learned of the fanbase's reputation I was honestly extremely surprised anyone considered themselves clever for "getting it."
The last time I can remember honestly feeling a bit smug about being able to get a joke on a TV show was in an episode of Archer from several seasons ago where Krieger quoted Thoreau and Archer responded "nobody cares about Doonesbury." I literally have never felt that way about any joke or reference on Rick and Morty, and can't remember a single joke from the show that was that esoteric.

If people need fandoms like Rick and Morty to be their only defining identity trait and let it consume their soul and personal life, then maybe they need something better to do.
I don't know what, but something.

It is said that people who fall on the autism spectrum happen to have a bit of a higher intelligence average, yet are so socially inept that they cannot put their potential to any use other than a single obsession with one thing that they will defend to the death over.
Rick and Morty is no different. If the fans are truly there for the show, they should be able to see the flaws in it. Season 3 is chock fucking full of them. Unfortunately they have an obsessive worship over a pickle meme, something which for some reason out of all the goddamn jokes in the series, Pickle Rick has to be the one to make Rick and Morty the reddit horse of the month to beat to death.
At least it didn't happen with Metroid yet.
EDIT: I wrote potato instead of potential. It's a fucking sign.

Well, I have seen a lot of the same fanbody nerds who feel superior to others for liking the show in general also blasting season 3. Apparently the show hired a bunch of new writers for the season, and they were mostly women, so people are bitching about affirmative action, social justice warriors and identity politics. I have no idea what went on behind the scenes and don't care, all I know is that season 3 was mostly trash regardless of who wrote it (and Dan Harmon himself wrote the season finale, which was the worst episode ever). But of course the debate over why that is the case has elicited even more autism than if they all were blind, mindless defenders of season 3.

I'm just worried about the sheer amount of autistic R&M costumes we're gonna see this Halloween...

Barring the women writer thing, the self insert therapist was pretty shit.
I bet the show dies at season 4.

One of my dumb friends wanted everyone to be some variant of Rick, and his girlfriend announced 'I'll be slutty Rick!' These people were also unhappy about McDonald's being out of sauce, which I didn't understand until I went on here because I have better things to do with my life, like being on kiwi farms.
