    I like those shows (at least half the time in the case of South Park) but I don't know about that.

    I guess I'd consider South Park "intelligent" writing but its raunchy humor is enough for any audience. You don't need to be "intelligent" to watch South Park or appreciate it, you just might miss out on certain points they are trying to make.

    Not so much with Futurama.

    The episode with Occulus Rift kinda bends my mind a little even after 5 or 6 rewatches. I still don't know if it is *meant* to make sense or not.

    It should be noted that the shows own creator took to twitter to shit on pretty much any McDonalds employee who didn't appreciate that the Meme Sauce fucking caused riots at their place of employment. This coupled with his shows previous desire to escape treating their employees well helps paint a very unpleasant picture; especially of Dan Harmon.

    Honestly Rick and Morty is tainted to a degree by just how shitty Dan Harmon is.

    Futurama was rare for an American cartoon that had moments that actually were emotionally touching and even wonderful. Its a criminally underrated show, as much as its praised, its 1/10th of what it deserves.

    Calvin and Hobbes will always and forever be so far superior to anything discussed here.

    Though I admit, Futurama had its moments.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Both sides failed big time

    I don't think Rick and Morty requires a genius level intelligence to understand at all. Sure, there are incredibly subtle pop culture references that I doubt more than 10% of people will recognize, but that doesn't require any level of intelligence other than going on youtube and searching 'all rick and morty obscure references'.

    I think the whole point of the show is to simply be incredibly witty through adventurous story telling with a dark twist on social commentary and mental health. I understand that blunt, raunchy, improv, fart joke type humor isn't for everyone, but the show absolutely deserves credit for being mostly original.

    'The Luck of the Fryish' episode is one of my favorite episodes. Definitely an underrated show.

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.

    It's a copy-pasta. If you put the first sentence into Google, the first link that pops up is Know Your Meme.

    Pretty good show imo. Fanbase can be extremely autistic and pushy though.

    Somebody compared it to the big bang theory earlier (as a similar """smart show"""), I dont think that works, big bang theory only uses shit jokes with a laughtrack. Take away the laughtrack and it's just a really awkward conversation between a group of people.

    Yeah, I actually had a small panic attack (before anyone gives me crap for this, I am exaggerating) when a friend of a good friend of mine posted that on Facebook. Glad I thought to look it up at least.

    Honestly, this whole debacle is part of why I just don't participate in fandoms. I like what I like, and I share that with my friends who have similar tastes, but I typically don't join in with the masses. I made a bit of an exception for Twin Peaks, but that fandom is pretty mature.
