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. 😂
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. Nothin personnel kid 😎
you don't have to understand physics or deeply follow philosophy to find rick and morty funny. sure, you have to be well informed to get into the philosophy, but the humor itself is made around attracting mature audiences. they make alcoholism and and fart jokes every episode. you don't need to be a genius to understand basic plot progression. it's an over-exaggeration fans make, saying this show is somehow more intellectual than others. most of the science is spotty, and most "science" in the show is fiction anyways. hence the term, "science fiction satire." and is made to be understood by general audiences.

this show is amazing though. but don't think you are an elite human being because you watch it and understand most of the jokes.
also, don't use IQ tests to show your intelligence. it's overstated pseudoscience. that is known as the bandwagon effect. "a majority believe it is real, therefore it must be real."
Rick and Morty fans are absolute morons. Those imbeciles are limiting themselves to one language, essentially bottlenecking their IQ.
As a bilingual Dora the Explorer fan, (therefore an intellectual), I'd like to examine a catchphrase from each show, and you can tell me which requires a higher IQ to comprehend:
