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.”
