To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the 87th. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. There's also Saint's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- 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 realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the 87th truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humor in McGucci's existential catchphrase "pts potus", 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 Taylor's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
I laughed at the Narodnaya Volya literature, I lost it at the father and sons part. Not even one of these FSE plebs that will ever reach the level we obtain. Scratch your heads all you want
(and you will) but make no mistake Jamison is pretty dead on in his analysis I would even argue that there is a certain wind of Leo Tolstoy blowing through the 87th to stay in Jamisons Rusky mood. Besides that the level of discussions, brainstorming sessions, philosophy sessions, the perestroika and glasnost slapping to the face of Norwalk, the breaking of glass ceilings and becoming a appointed father by Queen, The political discourse, the level of memery is a level where Mensa would be jealous off. Without you even knowing I made reference to Aleksandr Pushkin
the captains daughter to again stay in the Russian mood, although the interpretation of that needs a bit of bending but alas that's only for seasoned 87th members and associates to understand.
