Nice try, no white people live in atlanta
Really?

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.

I agree. Don't blame him for clarifying and being pissed.

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.
As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. 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.
