If adult swim is known for anything it’s canceling their hit tv shows. You know how early Hollywood had a rural purge, if Rick and morty is canned I’m going to call the period from when they canceled metalocylipse to Rick and morty the dudebro purge.
:doubt:
In a better world R&M would have ended years ago and Venture Bros would still be getting new seasons
That and Moral Oral wouldn’t have gotten canceled for the last season not being funny
It wasn’t supposed to be funny, it was a god damned work of art
That’s a really good comparison. Everyone in Venture Brothers was either pathetic or an asshole or both, but it had a very humanistic quality. Like there was a lot of pathos in the mix.
Whereas Rick and Morty is just one of the meanest, most misanthropic, nihilistic shows I’ve ever seen. Just constantly mocking people for feeling or caring about anything.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew the entire time and have been planning for the day the news broke. R&M isn’t just a show; it’s lunchboxes, shot glasses, and toys. You milk that shit as long as possible, and don’t let anyone get in the way. Look at what WB is doing on behalf of Ezra Miller for a potential Flash hit.
My question is will the Red Letter Media guys memory hole another episode made with a creep shortly before allegations of misconduct came out.

I don’t think Red Letter Media are in the know about this type of stuff.
They’ve pulled episodes with Max Landis after his accusations surfaced. I don’t think they knowingly worked with bad people, just bad luck.
It was a recent skit episode, cameo at the end. Or is that Dan Harmond? I’m realizing now that I don’t actually know the difference
Always got bad vibes from Roiland.
Weird how my hunches about people are almost always correct. I have a great “shitty person” detector.
I basically assume any person who would make a product like Rick and Morty is a complete scumbag. I hate that show, but more I hate the attitude and worldview it promulgates and normalizes.
I’ve never watched it enough to know what attitude and worldview it normalizes. Could it be described as anything other than “lib shit”?
Kinda disagree. South park is the most nihilistic show on TV. It is functionally the same show except all the characters revel in their sins. Rick and Morty says it is about nihilism. Then it constantly shows it character’s unhappy. The only time anyone on the show is meaningfully written as happy or winning is when they are just nice to each other. So it is about alienation and being trapped in it.
this is the same network that made Mike Tyson Mysteries, so no
Make the Eric Andre show become the flagship show.
