I kept seeing people say that, but I didn't understand it because Adult Swim has been putting up those snarky bumps for more than a decade, and it's always been clear they have nothing to do with the show being run.

the context it was being discussed in everywhere was 'omg R&M showrunners took shooooots at GoT yall'. it wasnt until harmon disavowed responsibility that the narrative changed. so for literally days, that little comment has been percolating through HBO's executive infrastructure. and thats a serious grudge based ecosystem. if harmon was like "fuck hbo, fuck got, im never working with any of those clowns" and he posted it, ok cool whatever, but this is the type of industry where you never get told youre not working with someone because of a snarky comment blurb after your show, your calls simply dont get returned, options dont get renewed, so on. so the fact that virtually everyone stood around the watercooler for days attributing that comment to harmon is actually legitimately bad from a bottom line perspective for harmon.
i think the legal boundaries for satire address exactly that; if a fake ad in a newspaper isnt 'fake enough', to the point where a viewer might attribute the contents to the company the fake ad presents itself as coming from, its defamation.
EVIL MORTY THEME SONG IN THE HOOOOOOOOOOUSE
I agree. Don't blame him for clarifying and being pissed.Quote:

I'm just surprised the media was fooled by this, because Adult Swim bumps have been around for well over 10 years.
But I guess it just takes one idiot to publish an article about Rick and Morty's "sick burn" against Game of Thrones, and the copycats repeated it everywhere.
Let us not forget if the writer(s) of Rick and Morty are shitting on the writing of Game of Thrones it's because they are 110% right.
Just got caught up.
This weeks episode was the best one in the whole series if you are into "a message".
Normally I would say this show is getting too big for its own good but this last show was done so well I hope they do more.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- 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 realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE.Quote:

I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ��
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid ��

I don't have to take this sass from a 130 IQ plebeian.

Justin Roiland was only 23 in 2005, and was a nobody in the entertainment industry. He created a short series called "House of Cosbys", which was basically just an absurdist comedy about a house full of various clones of Bill Cosby. Dan Harmon was the site administrator on Channel 101, the site where it aired.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbrwRcwtO_k
After 4 episodes, Roiland received a cease-and-desist letter from Cosby's attorneys:
Quote:
Dear sirs,
we are lawyers for Mr. William H Cosby, Jr. We have just learned that you offer a deeply offensive animated film that you created, entitled House of Cosbys. [...] As you are certainly aware, none of you are licensed or in any way authorized to use Mr. Cosby's voice, name, or likeness. [...] Therefore, we demand that you immediately cease and desist from any use of our client's name, voice, and likeness, including the development and distribution of the House of Cosbys series.
Very truly yours, John P. Schmitt
They got scared and both ceased production and took down the episodes. However, they eventually put the episodes back up, resulting in Cosby's attorneys then going to Channel 101's host, who forced them to take it down.
However, the publicity surrounding this got attention for Roiland, and was signed to United Talent Agency.
Were it not for House of Cosbys, there would likely be no Rick and Morty.
FLY FISHING RICK IS CLEARLY GOD.
Yes I went out of my way to a participating mcdonalds. No im not waiting in line until 2pm.
Girl said they had to take the phone off the hook. And they are saying straight out it's one per person and there is a chance that the special delivery may not happen before 2pm so you wait at your own risk.
And yes they are giving away the stupid poster so that they could limit the handout of the sauce.
This was the location I was at.....
After waiting in line for hours just to get their hands on one small packet of the sauce and learning that they ran out, many fans quickly accused McDonald’s of false advertising and started gathering at certain fast food outlets. Things got so heated at a McDonald’s in Wellington, Florida that the police had to show up and shut down the event. Apparently, fights started breaking out over the sauce and the line in front of the restaurant was so big that it started blocking the traffic.

"I actually made this as a way to poke fun at the idea of getting cease and desist letters.

That's actually why it's so filthy. I was just looking to "troll" a big studio."

Seriously tho, it's McD's dipping sauce. "Nice things?" We can't even have generic corporate shitty things.Quote:

I dont think this is a case of 'people taking mcd's sauce seriously' as much as its 'America is a fucking tinderbox because almost half its population thought electing a senile racist reality tv star was going to fix their lives and boy o boy did it ever not'.
So yeah, honestly? Expect a lot more shit like this as it gets worse and worse.
Only the highest IQ R&M connoisseurs can watch this video.

There was a Rick & Morty marathon on teletoon in Canada yesterday.
Was wondering wtf was going on at mcdonalds, stopped to get $1 drinks (no Pepsi, sorry druff) and they had a sign that said we are out of buttermilk chicken tenders...this was at 9:30 in the morning...I was wondering who eats chicken tenders for breakfast.
those chicken tendies are legit tho

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken tendies and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken tendies out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Bernie to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in New York???? This is so fucked.Quote:
