Yeah there were some very poor episodes. The one about the Purge was terrible too, just lazy violence and clumsy social commentary. Not to mention the stupid cat girl who was an asshole and never got any comeuppance because she was a female character. or the weird, poorly-done revelation that Morty is filled with repressed murderous rage
>>
>>71985247
To be fair, she was trying to stop the purge for good. Of course, the ending showed us that they need the purge more than ever because they're retarded.

It's a good show and you're all elitists. Reddit is just a meaningless snarl world at this point.

i didn't like the first impov episode. i'm sure it was hilarious to make but the best thing about the show has always been the crazy twists on sci-fi scenarios (Rick using a tiny universe to power his car. holy shit that was a good episode), not just non sequitur wackiness.

Hey reddit

calling something Reddit means that the show appeals to reddit users, usually through the humor. Here are some ways R&M does that:
>sci-fi
>lots of quirky jokes and anti-humor
>jokes that make fun of right-wingers
>atheist and proud main character
>reference humor

it's a show that wants you to feel smart for "getting it". And reddit eats it up.

I don't really care though, i think the jokes are funny and the plot lines are clever. Great show.
>>
S1 is amazing
>>
>>71985979
I don't remember any right wing jokes besides the Purge cat people elitist but even then that's just the typical sci-fi elitist vs poor people plot line.

What I dislike about R&M is the creator's obnoxious lack of a sincere & dedicated approach to the show. The creator's revel in their ironic detachment, exemplified most of all in their improv episodes. As if preemptively shielding themselves from criticism by releasing something deliberately half-assed. It is emblematic to me of the creator's lack of genuine insight or a lack of conviction in their own ability. Which would be understandable given the personalities behind the show itself.

Half-assing is only real philosophy of the creators. The show is conceived & shaped through a click-bait understanding of science, a lifetime of media addiction & the only partially digested nietzschean philosophy of the creators. It knowingly spouts the kind of lazy, autodidact, self-serving, personal philosophy of those weaned in the information-era: "Nothing really matters so do whatever you want."

It's a half-baked nihilism dressed up as cynical realism used to justify a shallow unexamined lifestyle of hedonistic "Dopamine is the greatest good". Ironically championed by those who consider themselves more knowledgeable than the rest of the world because they're armed with an internet connection and a wikipedia tab. It aims to make its audience feel smart & clever without making them think too hard. To validates the choices they've already made & reinforces their lifestyles. To makes them feel superior while downplaying their own shortcomings.

In other words: It's reddit.

reddit loves sci-fi, so sci-fi media is inherently "reddit" according to /tv/. See: Dr. Who, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, Firefly, Futurama, The Avengers, etc.

nothing's changed about the sci-fi genre, just the way /tv/ perceives it.

honestly i think calling something "reddit" is fucking idiotic and the worst form of shitposting. I was just trying to define what it means for the other anon

wow valid criticism in a shitposting thread. it's a shame R&M threads devolve into "REDDIT!!" pretty much immediately.

what's weird is I agree with your post but I still find R&M wildly entertaining. The personal philosophy of the creators is incredibly heavy-handed, but there are redeeming aspects. I enjoy the clever use of sci-fi tropes (multiple universes, fractured time, the matrix) and the unpredictable nature of a half-assed show

Roiland admits he just sat in a recording booth drinking just coming up with dumb on the fly. I dont think its ironic detachment but more Roiland being drunk and not giving a shit

> It is emblematic to me of the creator's lack of genuine insight or a lack of conviction in their own ability. Which would be understandable given the personalities behind the show itself.

Alot of this could be applied to Dan Harmon's fedora tipping pseudo edginess as seen in Community's endless stream of 80's references and Whedon speak

>Half-assing is only real philosophy of the creators. The show is conceived & shaped through a click-bait understanding of science, a lifetime of media addiction & the only partially digested nietzschean philosophy of the creators. It knowingly spouts the kind of lazy, autodidact, self-serving, personal philosophy of those weaned in the information-era: "Nothing really matters so do whatever you want."

Its a crazy ADHD ridden show with no internal consistency or actual knowledge of science sure but half-assed? Sure Rick is literally "Do whatever you want with consequences" the character but is that a bad thing in a animated sitcom with characters such as a half Hitler half Lincoln cyborg man and talking dogs who take over the World but he is an natural evolution of the Jerkass Hero trope from characters such as Doctor Who and Sherlock but taken less seriously but played for laughs

>It's a half-baked nihilism dressed up as cynical realism...

Modern comedy has a detached nihilistic feel to it because to act sincere is to be sneered at by the Public

It's a broad sitcom that uses creative sci-fi concepts as the premise for its scenarios, kind of like Red Dwarf.
