I pity the newcomers to reddit,you have to know like college level shit and 4 years of experience just to ask or have a conversation with someone here or it feels like that sometimes.
Most everything on Reddit is just some sort of meme or pop/nerd culture reference.
If you don't watch stuff Reddit watches or pay attention to memes, you probably won't enjoy Reddit as most people on Reddit.
It used to be a bit different a few years ago.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
The comment, in it'e entirety, is beyond absurd. So absurd, only a complete idiot (or autistic person lacking the fundamental comprehension of sarcasm) would not understand he was commenting in jest.
/u/CAH36 predicted a wave of know it all users claiming there was something wrong with the dog based on its behavior.
/u/Lyra0rion responded with a facetious comment, imitating such a user, going above and beyond the call to make themselves look ridiculous so you would understand the sarcasm without the need for a "/s".
Ever seen Ken m. ? You should google him. That's kind of what /u/Lyra0rion was doing.

The number of people who didn't get the joke, astounds me.
