Any books like Rick and Morty?

You won't get far with literature if you search for works that pander to people that like to think of themselves as smart.

What's so good about this show? Why is everyone meming it?

It's the /lit/ show. You need to understand philosophy and literature to appreciate the subtle humor and social commentary of Rick and Morty.

Also, the creators based it off Ulysses

You get about as much out of it as reading James Joyce, and that is to say not much at all.

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 viewer’s 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 Turgenev’s 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

It draws attention to retards in the same way The Big Bang Theory does, with more efficiency.

The show is probably fine, but its fans that unironically say it's about science and preach "muh nihilism" are ruining it for everyone that might have been eager to give it a chance.
