About this sound

The Rick and Morty copypasta sound clip from the viral 'to be fair' meme, used for ironic genius rants and pretentious fan reactions online.

This short clip captures the opening of the infamous Rick and Morty copypasta, the mock serious rant that begins with the words to be fair. Delivered in a smug, deadpan tone, it instantly signals fake intellectual superiority. The humour comes from how earnestly it defends a cartoon as if only geniuses could understand it. Viewers recognise the reference immediately, so even a second of audio sets up an ironic, self aware joke about fandom, intelligence, and taking a comedy show far too seriously.

Pro tip

Drop it right before a character delivers a pompous explanation, then cut hard to silence or a blank stare. Keep the clip isolated at the start of the rant and do not layer music underneath, or the smug delivery loses its bite.

How people use it

Creators add it before fake genius movie explanations.
Streamers play it when chat acts overly intellectual.
Editors use it to mock pretentious cartoon fan takes.
Gamers drop it after bragging about a clever play.

More information

The phrase comes from a copypasta that circulated online in 2017, written as a parody of defensive Rick and Morty fans claiming the Adult Swim series required a very high IQ to appreciate. The text was copied, reposted and remixed across forums and social media, turning its opening line into instant shorthand. This audio version isolates that start for quick meme use. It remains popular because the joke works beyond the show itself, applying to any fandom or topic treated with exaggerated intellectual pride.
