we've all been there. you're enjoying something, like a show or movie or game. then bam, outta nowhere, neckbeards are quoting it and wearing t shirts and making you wish it never existed. what do *you* do? go on pretending like you never liked it to begin with? ignore the gruesome subculture its created and continue enjoying whatever it is? or do you become one of those fans, buy a t shirt, and go on reddit to quote lines from the show and game until you alienate your friends and family in favor of this querky thing you like

gently caress that poo poo. Its not okay to like certain stuff, like Anime for example and people should be shamed and outcasted.

Liking the same thing as other people makes you a loser, popular things are poo poo.

Rick and Morty is pretty funny.

How about you just stop giving a gently caress whether or not other people like it and, if you like it, then enjoy it. It's not exactly My Little Pony or King of Queens or something to be embarrassed about.

i think neckbeards and the like are more attracted to media that appeals more to a wider audience. with rick and morty, its off-color enough that you're probably fine.

Wrong, people who watch My Little Pony should be shamed and outcasted and put into a mental hospital.

Dear GBS,

Thanks for your quick responses.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

i don't think rick and morty is super quotable, it's just really tops proper science fiction in a world where there isn't anything like that any more on tv. it's the stories that are great, and while the dialogue is great it's only really in context, which is to the show's credit and should help immunise against Vasquez Syndrome

it's more like, 'remember when morty almost got raped by that jelly bean' and you laugh and go yeah that was a good episode and that's basically it

rick and morty is awesome, bring back 12 oz mouse goddamn it, and you ignore the terrible sub-cultures for things that are good e.g., everything you as a nerd enjoy

this is my opinion

dude i feel you, but maybe rick and morty will become hostile to its' audience if they start fagging things up? it's a pretty good show and maybe they can keep it that way?

nah man, just go ahead and forget i said i liked it. i never liked it actually

I like Rick and Morty but not as much as Venture Bros. But they seem to be able to make more than 1 season every 3 years so Im happy with that

tfw you're peeing next to someone in the lineup and they don't know
I'm a little worried about the direction of Rick and Morty because it's kind of veering off into "money penguin dishwasher" TOTALLY RANDOM territory, and that's not funny, and it attracts the wrong crowd who doesn't get what's funny.

But it's still a cool show for now.

venture bros is probably my most loved show, but it comes and goes more flippantly than my dad. its hard not to get too attached when it is around

A big fan of the show told me that it's based on a cartoon that ripped off Back to the Future, but the challenges the characters faced could only be solved by the doctor getting drunk and Morty sucking his "chapped, bleeding testicles" (his words)

This doesn't really make me want to watch
