Can someone explain to me the hype with that show? I don’t mess with cartoons or anything animated in general but nothing about the show from the art style to the dialouge actually seems enjoyable just like some shyt people watch to think that they’re smart or deep for liking

It’s a decent show to watch if it’s late at night and you’re in bed with your girl and y’all just finished smoking a blunt together or something.
It’s really the fan base that ruins it because they act like the writing is better and deeper than it actually is.

I like it cause its weird but funny and still relatable at times. I think they're very creative/weird with the shyt they come up with

its extremely irreverent and absurdist, self aware, yet has a lot of poignant moments about life and finding meaning in it. It also rewards us nerds who have stupid encyclopedic memories of pop culture, especially sci-fi.

Nope. Complaint was filed right away in 2020.

It just takes that long to get a trial. He is in pretrial proceedings right now.

It’s a dumb-smart show with likeable characters. It’s funny though.

And it references a lot of other shows too

Me personally, I think Archer is far better/funnier.

We cant have shyt! Rick and Morty is a mix of Dark Humor, Comics, Pop Culture, Science, Philosophy, and random info that you never heard about. The writing is something special and I actually look forward to it...the best episode ever was when Rick outsmarted the Devil.
