“Intelligent adult” + funko pop collection….who’s gonna tell him?
I’m pretty sure it’s a joke my dude. Someone just took a picture of funko pops and wrote funny words.
I'll leave that to whatever poor soul at Goodwill has to sort through the boxes this guy drops off
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 😎
Yes, let's not forget the real victims, the poor Goodwill volunteer that has to go through this collection and sanitize anything vaguely pickle-shaped.
I can't believe how much fucking merchandise there is for such a small show. Compare it to even something like futurama in terms of cultural impact and there's so much more plastic shit made for Rick and Morty
Rick and morty has the a to attract some of the most obsessive people on the planet. When everyone's a whale you better start whaling
"This is a story of love and loss, fathers and sons, and the foresight to retain international merchandising rights. This is the story of Star Wars."
Small show? I dunno about that. Rick and Morty are pretty iconic characters and there's been lots of famous moments from that show since it started broadcasting. I dunno why you are making it sound like barely anyone watched it. I was a teenager during its peak in popularity and let me tell you everyone is the hallway was quoting one liners from that show.
I am cringing so hard @ 'smartoon' rn...
I want it to be satirical but then I remember that someone somewhere unironically believes there is something called a "manosphere".
Yeah! Give that corporation a large portion of your income in exchange for goods, and then destroy those goods! That'll show that completely separate person with zero ties to the corporation!
I agree with the sentiment, but they're actually giving away those goods! to another corporation
I am an intelligent adult, as is demonstrated by my collection of overpriced cartoon dolls.
This has to be a troll right? I refuse to believe anyone uses "smartoons" unironically
I love how the way he wrote that makes it seem like he considers this dude hurting the fandom and killing some show to be a worse transgression than hurting his girlfriend.
hurting millios of smart adult fans (like me) every single day and second 😢😢 or a girl getting hurt two tims a day. Please think abut before comenting 😭😭😭
This is some primo sadcringe
I shamelessly stole this, but I agree with the opinion:
There are those who believe Justin Roiland must be guilty of something anyway so it's a "good move to distance themselves." Those people have short memories regarding Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.
The remaining allegations against Justin Roiland are just that, with no proof against Roiland. Screenshots only prove that a conversation took place not who was actually speaking.
Make no mistake that if there's an actual crime committed then he should go to jail. But the rule of law is that he's presumed innocent until proven guilty. The argument that "It's a private company, they can do what they want" ignores that fact.
Justin Roiland has been unjustly treated in this, and many fans are voicing our opinions about it. The truth is that the show is moving forward despite our objections
This is a terrible take. He was an annoyance and liability for the show. He contributed minimally and these productions are better off without him.
The "Innocent until proven guilty" part of the argument only makes sense of he was only fired for breaking the law.
While I do not disagree with your opinion, all charges were dropped. He may be a complete dipshit, but until something is proven you're just witch hunting
There was more than just the stuff with his wife though. Dude likes 14 year old girls and had many inappropriate texts with underage girls. Go listen to the audio of when he was a guest on a podcast talking about how some 14 year old girls are "developed" and physically ready etc. He's fucking gross and was a hindrance to the show.
That said. The rest of the crew was happy to drop him, so I have no problem continuing to support the show.
If only there was a way to distinguish between the artist and the art... but since both are always the same, it will for all times be impossible to enjoy the art of an artist that committed some assholery.
Wait till people figure out what DaVinci, Rembrandt, Mozart, Picasso did and say when they were still alive, young, inexperienced and horny. Yes! Horny! Despite their talent they were ordinary people, young men with dicks! We're going to have to empty the whole effing Louvre after finding out.
There's an important difference: those guys are all dead, and so are their victims. Somebody's great great great great grandmother won't retroactively become more abused just because you look at a painting.
It isn't about enjoying art created by someone who did awful things, it's about continuing to reward that someone with fame and fortune and giving them free passes to do more awful things just because they have a talent that you appreciate. It's about valuing aesthetics over morals. By all means, continue to enjoy art made by scumbags. I do. Just don't continue to bankroll their abuse of others after you find out that they're scumbags.
Wasnt Roiland actually cleared by the court?
doesn't matter, these"judges" already convicted him. Forget due process. Getting accused publicly == being guilty forever on social media.
It's also important to remember that this is how most abuse cases work out. There is almost never enough evidence because it is almost impossible to proof beyond reasonable doubt. It's incredibly rare that someone gets convicted in an abuse case, no matter if they actually committed abuse or not. The victim has to basically stand in court with the gunk and fingerprints of the perpetrator still on them and video material that shows it wasn't self-defense from the other side, for any conviction to actually happen.
How does that saying go again? By the time Truth puts its shoes on, a Lie has travelled around the world.
Yes, but: a lot of other pretty unwholesome stuff came out about him during the process and his contract has a clause in it that allows him to be terminated on that basis; it's actually pretty common for people in his kind of position to have contracts like that.
Love seeing people who can't separate the art from the artist. Next in: Cthulhu in the intro sequence is proof that R&M is racist.
I can easily separate them, but I choose not to when any money spent on the art still benefits the artist
Least cringe Rick & Morty fan
I'm out of the loop, what did they do?
He had been charged for commiting domestic abuse and so he was let go from a bunch of shows including Rick and Morty. The charges were later dropped but it's unclear whether his reputation will recover, especially since some other people accused him of toxic behavior like telling someone to go into sexual slavery.
