"HHGG isn't about 'Nothing matters, so be an asshole', it's about 'Nothing matters, so let's have fun adventures'" Uhhh... no? HHGG is really snarky about the idea of fun adventures, there are repeated jokes about how everything cool has been turned into corporate tourist traps

Yeah, but it's still a shrug; Arthur's desire to find someone to be personally offended at is constantly thwarted because nobody cares.

Is that really so different from R&M though? A big theme of the show is that the show has no "bad guy", and the ones that present themselves end up folding really fast (the Galactic Federation comes and goes in the space of the S2 finale and S3 premiere)

(If you were actually keeping track, the actual reason for the Vogons' destruction order against the Earth was a conspiracy from Gag Halfrunt and the other psychiatrists to keep the Question from ever being discovered so the full Meaning of Life can never be known)

I think the distinction is partially that HHG takes aim most squarely at things like pride and dignity, as meaningless constructs, whereas R&M sees hope and kindness as equally mockable.
