Not the person you asked, but I have the same general sense that most women would not find it a positive thing to list. Without making broad unsupported generalizations about women, I would suggest:

  • it's a TV show, not a personality. It's a bit much to list as an important detail on a dating profile.
  • similar to the first point, there is a stereotype about certain men that made the show their personality. Cringe.
  • the show is largely shock humor, irreverent, pithy comedy dialogue. Not bad in and of itself, except when paired with the above mentioned points of it being used as a surrogate personality, or listed as if it's an important part of a person's interests.

Anecdotally, my wife also dislikes the show.

I would suggest that listing broad categories of things you like is probably better than an individual thing. E.g., saying you like reading and listing a few authors isn't weird, but listing one single book seems a little obsessed.

That's all pretty close to what I'd say. It's not a popular show amongst women and trying to explain "No, Dan Harmon wrote some really poignant critiques about modern pop culture" is a losing battle when what everyone knows about the show is screaming Szechuan Sauce losers, Justin Roiland's general sex pest attitude, and generally gross content (including pedophile rape!) Don't start dating someone by justifying something they dislike, just sell the good parts about yourself
