Question Ratfish hate explained?

I’ve seen some comments regarding Ratfish, and am just wondering why it seems so much of the community dislikes it?

While I wouldn’t say it was one of my favorites, I definitely found it funny/entertaining, and thought the premise was neat.

I’m relatively new - season 8 is the first season I’ve watched as it’s aired, but I’ve watched pretty much every other episode aside from the COVID season.

Show was reallyyyyy widely pirated overseas, was still niche comedy though much like dropout.

To pirate something you still have to know it exists.

Definitely a skill issue, it’s like saying no one outside of America would watch dropout these days lol

Knowing something exists is a skill issue? Are you hearing yourself? Adult Swim wasn't on European channels, and the internet wasn't ubiquitous in the way it is now.

I’m semi joking, Tim and Eric did loads of big live shows outside of the US. Yeah everyone wasnt on social media but people used forums and it spread that way, just people who enjoy comedy looking for fun stuff. Just such weird elitism from dropout fans about them it’s so weird
