i'm mr meeseeks look at me rick and morty thread

https://www.reddit.com/r/copypasta/comments/6qhaln/only_high_iqs_watch_rick_and_morty/

and here is where the show gets ruined

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 😎

...it's on his dicc

The shift toward that stuff has been amazing - it's an Adult Swim stoner cartoon for fuck's sake.

can't wait for the "I liked Rick and Morty PRIOR to Pickle Rick, Posers" Reddit

he spells personal "personnel" :-/

Maybe I'm naive to how comically pathetic people can be, but that post and a good chunk of the stuff posted on the ilx Reddit thread totally come off as fake.

yeah circa it's a good pt - it seems like some level of trolling

idk I had someone in earnest tell me that if I didn't think he was "one hell if an intellectual" that I could go get fucked

this one has to be trolling, but probably it's based on moronic superiority comments people have actually said when talking about the show

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.

This cant be a serious thing right

and that's the wayyyyyyy the news goes

could be faaaaakkkkke
but since immersing myself in right wing memes and learning about incels and shit i have completely lost perspective.

well, if you guys would bother to read down in the comments...

that's the original comment they're making fun of. no idea if that one is for real or not tho.

i don't want to know anything about hardcore fans of this show unless they are ITT or my IRL pals, it'll just ruin it

God, those 2 men need a fucking wash.

R&M-haters on twitter have grown moderately louder in the past 2-3 weeks.

Over/under 25% of those people actually watch the show?

I'll take the under

there's also this

Well that is pretty gross.

Not that it matters but Jessica Gao is one of the best writers on the show, responsible for Pickle Rick among others

boooooo

"i'm a beetle. Paul is dead."?

this show is like it's always sunny in philadelphia to me; it's def funny but it only has one mode and the energy is always exactly the same, so it's just tiresome to watch

O look who it is

this show is like it's always sunny in philadelphia to me; it's def funny but it only has one mode and the energy is always exactly the same, so it's just tiresome to watch

I like this show a good bit, but I get this.

Er, I’d be a little more generous, just is one that I can only do in 1-2 episode stretches.

luckily it's designed to be watched in 1-episode stretches

holy fuck just saw the bit about R&M fans harassing female writing staff. ftr I support punching both Nazis and the unfuckables who doxx the woman who wrote pickle rick. are you fucking kidding me.

adult swim should reair the pickle Rick episode in place of a new one just to spite them

luckily it's designed to be watched in 1-episode stretches

Ha, otm.

I'm still pacing my way through season 2, which has been great. I love the show's dedication to alien landscapes that look largely like (or actually are) butts, and also its hilarious lack of effort in naming characters or other aliens. Like, "This is my friend, uh, Gleep Glorp." Or "Mr. Poopybutthole."

poor old mr poopy butthole

I think the tone can actually shift pretty radically on this show between episodes, I don't find it nearly as one more as always sunny or say archer

It's also insane that these nerds have decided the show sucks now that women write it when the show is obviously the best its ever been

Not that I have any yearning to see R&M go full South Park. But if they had an episode where they mocked/emasculated those “unfuckables” I would be massively amused.

*one note xp

"my hands are dry! my hands are dry!"

Finally caught up with the most recent three episodes. Agree that this season is knocking it out of the park, and I can't imagine how tough it was to pull off that Citadel episode. Most of the Mortys are voiced just differently enough to distinguish them, but they're all still Morty.

Favorite moment:

Watched the 'outtakes' episode last night and woke up this morning with my laptop still on beside my bed, lights off, trying to recall if I'd watched the whole thing or fallen asleep first... PSYCH PSYCH PSYCH!

haha nice

Finally finished the second season. Good stuff, it's all so cynical I can't tell if the sentimental music cues - Mazzy Star, Elliott Smith, NIN's "Hurt" - are part of the joke.

Most of the Mortys are voiced just differently enough to distinguish them, but they're all still Morty.

Yeah this is an important point and I noticed it. Roiland's a pretty decent voice actor these days.

He's been the Mozart of voice actors since Adventure Time's Lemongrab days.

ACCEPTABLE

Saw that Harmon interview where he derides "The Purge" as "good enough" or something, and I thought, huh? I liked that one better than the Mad Max one, as far as riffs on movies go - or I like them equally - but more importantly, "The Purge" gave a satisfying payoff to seeing them in the exosuits every credit sequence. For that matter, the excellent rule of threes payoff when you hear a muffled "Feels Good" playing offscreen before they go on a rampage made me laugh my ass off.

Also it has one of my favorite throwaway lines.

do they believe the dipping sauce is actually notably good and worth going to effort to obtain because the cartoon character said it was,or

my son talked me into taking him to a McDonald's for this yesterday and of course there was no sauce to be had

but the experience and subsequent internet meltdown really made me feel like a citizen of the future

nerd culture is so centred on unquestioning commodity consumption the poor guys get a li'l freaked out when the commodity isn't there for them to consume
