It was really just an anti-Trump rally/temper tantrum session disguised as something more noble (this was before the left abandoned any pretense of caring about optics). I lost count of how many people I saw dressed as Rick.

It's ironically a good example of the dumbass "pro science woo hoo" American mindset. Their idea of science is basically "magic except not gay" or some shit.

I enjoyed the show well enough but Rick and Morty's brand of Sci-fi is basically just a fantasy wizard with a metallic coat of paint. Good for fiction but utterly divorced from reality the same way a wizard in his tower making magical implements is just as realistic as a mad scientist in his garage making a spaceship.

Naturally the proles don't understand science since they will listen to mostly the popsci stuff ironically you can read the adds in that to see all the penis enlargement pills and get the idea of who the target audience is.

After season 3 or so it kinda started to suck. This recent season was kinda good though. Had some decent one off ideas again that were entertaining.
