The 'People Who Watch Rick and Morty' meme primarily centers on a notorious 2017 Reddit copypasta that begins with the phrase, 'To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty.' Originally meant to mock the perceived elitism of the show's fanbase, the meme evolved into various visual formats—often featuring photos of highly sophisticated individuals, expanding brains, or overly confident characters. It is frequently used to satirize pseudo-intellectualism or to make self-deprecating jokes about being a fan of the series. Today, it remains a staple of internet culture, serving as a go-to template whenever someone tries to sound overly smart or pretentious about pop culture.
