    Look at me, Morty! I’ve turned myself into a self-parodying fan base, Morty! I’m Fractal Lack of Self Awareness Rick!

    JFC. Imagine saying ‘Strike One’ out loud in person if you’re on a date or something. Someone does that to me, the date is over. I don’t have a lot of self-respect, but I have enough not to tolerate that bullshit.

      It’s literally a joke on parks and rec. when Leslie goes out with will arnett’s x-Ray tech character. He says under his breath, “…strike one” to something she says.

      That’s how out of touch this guy is.

    Nothing wrong with smoking weed and watching Rick and Morty. But these shouldn’t be your only personality traits.

    I used to watch Rick and Morty but it stopped being funny around season four and the fanbase is cringe. Strike 1, 2, and 3

      The damndest thing to me is that the fundamental premise of the show, that of being basically random skits, in a random unfair world, where nothing really matters because multiverse and people are just shitty a lot of the time…

      … this fundamental attribute was abandoned for a cohesive lore and seasons that follow entire arcs.

      The fucking main theme of the show was randomness and unpredictability, and that was abandoned because apparently the remaining fans completely missed the point and needed a standard structure.

      It is truly incredible to me when a fanbase seems to utterly miss the point of the show or movie.

      Guys use the redpill to escape from the Matrix by becoming a cartoonish misogynist parody of a self help capitalist!

      Patrick Bateman is actually someone I resonate with and idolize!

      Lets obsess over and clamor for more and more Neon Genesis Evangelion when the point of the original fucking show is to grow up and have a real life with real experiences despite the traumas of childhood and the whole reboot is literally about how the fan base seemingly cannot do this!
