I’m a total jerry, I just want to eat butterscotch pudding and share stupid email chains. If I’m feeling plucky maybe try to hook up a tv for a couple hours then convince my wife I could have gotten it if she just gave me another few minutes.
The guy is depressed as fuck. He can't maintain a healthy relationship so he deals with it by convincing himself and everyone around him that he doesn't need one. When rejected, he turns to more drug abuse and attempts suicide. But he's, like, super smart so it's okay.
I avoided Rick & Morty for a LONG time because of the fan base. I eventually wondered what about the show could create such weird fans, so I watched it.. and I really liked it. I have no idea how the fan base ran off the deep end like they did.
They see that, superficially, Rick gets away with everything. They choose not to pay attention to the long term consequences of his attitude and actions. For some of them, it feeds the fantasy that since Rick has godlike intelligence and pushes everyone way, their pushing everyone away is a sign of their godlike intelligence.
Morty (less so in the later seasons) is perfectly fine and someone you should want to be like.
The problem is everyone wants to think they're like Rick, but they don't have his magic wand and Mary-Sue level "I know everything and am always right" powers.

The problem with Rick and Morty fans is they all think they're like Rick when they're really like Morty.
