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. ๐
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. ๐
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Cookieโ. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Japanese gay porn and amateur voice actresses' lives obtained through harassment and stalking most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also SRMY who is based on BNKRG and not Reimu, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Anti-Muslim literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these memes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE (in your mother's basement). As a consequence people who dislike Cookieโ truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in NYN's existential catchphrase "ใชใใงใ," which itself is a cryptic reference to the biblical book of Ecclesiastes. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the layers of meta unfold theirselves on their phone screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ๐
And yes, by the way, I DO have a RU 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. ๐
To be fair, you have to have a very severe mental illness to understand Shinsei Kamattechan. The lyrics are extremely dark, and most of them will drive a neurotypical listener away. There's also Noko's suicidal outlook, which is deftly woven into their artistic expression- their personal philosophy draws heavily from Osamu Dazai, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these songs, to realise that they're not just another 'weird thing from Japan'- they say something deep about LIFE with severe mental illness. As a consequence people who dislike Shinsei Kamattechan truly ARE ableist- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, their music being featured in anime and cartoons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated Karens scratching their heads in confusion as Noko's BPD unfolds itself through their headphones and screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
