Yeah, he's shit but if you're impressionable and self-centred, you can get sucked in by his bit.

Like I remember watching a couple clips and thinking sounds like he's just saying common sense reasonable stuff with a side of pop philosophy -- I don't get what people are mad about but I have a good relationship with my parents and was raised to respect myself and others, so he had no to Morty's Mind Blowers for me. I just moved on.

Later of course, thanks to others writing about it, I discovered that he has said some legitimately heinous things, and despite being so pathetic is actually an incredibly dangerous individual, meme-wise.
