This weird "series" (which, all episodes combined below, lasts for 20 minutes) is the reason Rick and Morty exists.
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.
After 4 episodes, Roiland received a cease-and-desist letter from Cosby's attorneys:
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.
He followed it up in 2006 with this short-
"I actually made this as a way to poke fun at the idea of getting cease and desist letters. At the time (October 2006) I had nothing to lose and my original intention was to call this "back to the future: the new official universal studios cartoon featuring the new Doc Brown and Marty McFly" and then I'd just sit back and wait for a letter from their lawyers to arrive. That's actually why it's so filthy. I was just looking to "troll" a big studio."
Have word with yourself, America

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.
