To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dirk Gently. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical forensic science most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Dirk’s holistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation – his personal philosophy draws heavily from Jan Christiaan Smuts literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dirk Gently truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Dirk’s existencial catchphrase “Everything is connected,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Leonardo da Vinci’s quote I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Douglas Adams’ genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools… how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Dirk Gently tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
