The joke was that there was no joke, Rick is just being an asshole and disappointing everyone around him. But between that and the shezuan sauce incident, I realized the fandom has literally zero media literacy, they’re just clapping at shapes and colors.
Everyone’s media literacy, reading comprehension, ability to appreciate nuance or capacity to consider multiple non-mutually-exclusive ideas in their head at once is vanishing.
It’s actually so fucking depressing to see how many people who I agree with politically and ethically are also kind of stupid and seem to have peaked intellectually.
I don’t know if its gotten worse, we should expect it to have gotten better now that people consume more media than ever.
If judging from my trump-supporting, boomer extended family playing Jimmy Hendrix’s Star Spangeled Banner at a 4th of July cookout, it was always terrible.
These include people who are still mad at Jane Fonda and blame the vietnamese for defending themselves.
A lot of folks have watched the show and come to the conclusion that it’s an endorsement of their lifestyles which they view as similar to Rick at the start of the series, plus the extremely toxic behavior that comes along with the impression that you’re better than everyone and your intelligence justifies any behavior you are criticized for
Yeah. Used to be like that. What a shitty way to live. Denying any need to change by claiming superior intelligence over the people suggesting change, even though you’re desperately unhappy.
What happened? I only lightly watched the show.
They turned into a pickle, funniest shit I ever seen.
That, and the music episode (get schwifty?) are apparently wildly popular while also being the two worst episodes. Make it make sense.
That’s when I stopped watching. It was so stupid that it just turned me off.

Are you kidding? I’m totally Jerry.

Thanks. Sort of like MAGA light.
