Rick and Morty ruined all cartoons forever
Rent free
>>150405590you should rape Justin Roiland about it
>>150405590That episode had some GOATed bathos.
>>150405590It's either Rick and Morty or Family guy clone #267
>>150405590No it’s just the latest benchmark that every studio wants to replicate.
grass tastes bad
>>150405889What's gonna be the next model adult cartoon taking Rick and Morty's place?
>>150406400We tried cartoons from Broadway (South Park), cartoons from cartoons (Family Guy), cartoons from sitcoms (Rick and Morty) and cartoons from the internet (Smiling Friends). We need something new.
>>150406425Family Guy: cartoons from sitcoms (https://youtu.be/XiZy-IQBjEw) Rick and Morty: cartoons from the [early] internet Smiling Friends: cartoons from Newgrounds/YouTube specifically
>>150406463I meant Dan Harmon made Community and Seth McFarlane came from Cartoon Cartoons
>>150406480Oh. I guess I can see your reasoning now. Next logical step is cartoons from Twitch or from TikTok
>>150406480Am in the wrong to say Dan isn’t as good at humor or anything just like Justin?Like with >>150406463 he’s just wrong except for smiling friends and it just shows that really a lot of newground and stuff from the early internet is WAYYYYY better than whatever all this shit is.I mean it’s lowest common denominator type shit
>Rick and Morty ruined all Adult Swim cartoons foreverFTFY
>>150406865>Adult Swim Cartoons were never fucking good, Rick And Morty is a pile of shit on a bigger pile of shitFTFY
>>150406947>HELLO I'M THE ANGRY VIDEOGAME CRITIC I HAVE A SMALL PENIS AND LIKE TO EAT ELEPHANT SHIT FOR BREAKFAST HA HA HAFTFY
i thought we all agreed that adventure time ruined modern cartoons
I miss when Adult Swim felt experimental. When you could tell creators didn't give a fuck if a show was "too weird" for your average consumer and just went completely wild with the most schizo, drug-induced shit imaginable. Last show we got of that kind was The Shivering Truth.Post-Rick and Morty every AS show seems to look and sound the same. Just maybe change sci-fi trappings for something else every once in a while
>>150407119rick and morty only happened because adventure time did; you could still say that
>>150407027Just saying honestly.>>150407148Right nta, but your right
>>150405590Adventure Time was patient zero for the AIDS. Without it, Rick and Morty never gets made.
>>150405914LMAO!
>>150405914At least Rick and Morty tries. They could just be bottom of the barrel slop. Instead they're referencing Asimov and putting in something for brains to chew on.
>>150405590>Rick and Morty ruined all cartoons foreverNot all of them, right?
>>150407226>>150407148>without back to the future, rick and morty doesn't get made, so fuck back to the future
>>150410508This. That 80s movie poisoned a generation of creatives. Everything goes to shit once you see an orange puffer vest and a DeLorean.
>>150409030A brain can still chew on textureless mush tho.
>Rick and Morty released December 2nd 2013What the fuck bros?? I could've sworn it released around 2016.
>>150410901Nobody watched it until season 3
>>150410901>>150410920I remember the first promo.
>>150410925i dont
>>150405590https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atZ_wpKEPdU
Is it Bethany or Elizabeth?
>>150410920>that time it interrupted Season 5 of Samurai Jack>everyone on /co/ got pissed>then we got pissed again when Season 5 was shit
>>150411119Was that the last time their "sad song needle drop" actually had impact and didn't just feel like a cringe attempt at pathos from an otherwise unserious meta cartoon?
>>150405616Does Rick pay rent?
I hate this show and so should you
>>150411629Funny enough S5 went to shit that very episode that got interrupted by Rick and Morty.
>>150405914these are two radically different audiences. one is for 20 year olds, the other is for elementary schoolers. what is wrong with /co/?
>>150413802That makes it even worse because you should expect kids cartoons to be more low brow, leaning on poop jokes
>>150413167>Rick gets two NEETcavesjealous
>>150413167>>150413887yet no bathroom
>>150405590I haven't seen rick & morty since he escaped prison, what has happen since and why has it ruin cartoons?
>>150414412He turned himself into a pickle. Funniest shit I've ever seen
>>150407143I mean Smiling Friends does feel like a throwback in golden age Adult Swim humor, it’s a miracle a show like that even exists in our current animation industry IMO, seeing how unique it is from other adult cartoons and how it’s created by NG artist Zach Hadel.
>>150414076gross!!
>>150412520I like the sad song endingsgod you don't have a soul
>>150416008Whatever, Harmon.
>>150416582oh god this sincerity is so awful, i hate emotional depth, i hate plot. i just want fart jokes and burping.
>>150405650that's what I'm, trying to say
>>150405650Justin Roiland is funny though. Dan Harmon ruined television with jaded metacommentary about everything and now Hollywood can't outdo that so everybody just gave up and started making trash.
>>150410901I recall somebody (specifically hawkerace) posted the first episode in the off-topic section of the ace online forums where I posted a very unpopular opinion that it was tryhard and unfunny and got shat on for not liking it for months after the fact while it exploded in popularityi still think it is retarded and unfunny and im glad the rest of the world came to my side on this
>>150411629I member
>>150416659This but unironically
>>150410441Yes. Every single last one.
Will the real Rick and Morty please stand up?
>>150413167There's a lot of money to be made in horse surgery apparently
>>150405590Rick the crybaby
>>150418694Half of these come from the same people so I really don't know what you're getting at
>>150405590>>150418685Care to elaborate more to explain though?
>>150405590I liked this particular episode. It was more fun when Rick's pervasive sadness was more general and vague than just "I miss my wife".
it can be good when you're borred
>>150423565Good point. They kind of forced the source of his depression and disillusionment into kind of a box, didn't they? Even his backstory feels like wasted potential since there doesn't seem to be much else left to elaborate on from his time before landing in C-137. We've dealt with Rick Prime, explored his relationship with Birdperson, and covered our tracks with Diane. Any new reveals from his past would have to come out of nowhere now.
>>150418694I miss Reagan every day...
>>150423842It's wasted because the time when it was prime to reveal it they went FULL meta on the viewers, it was just awful and now the show just has no mystery left, no driving factor, they can't even really lean into sci fi again because they too exhausted that well in s1-3, honestly felt like the show should have ended by now, there's nothing left to see and this nothing left to care about
>>150425678I get that it was meant to casually make the premise work in under 22 minutes, but that line about their tech being "indistinguishable from magic" rubbed me the wrong way. Makes the show feel like it doesn't even respect itself anymore. I would've preferred they have a clear end goal instead of trying to run as long as The Simpsons. Rick and Morty kind of demands bigger and bigger spectacles, but there's gotta be a limit to how high-concept and wild things can get eventually, right?
>>150410901It came out the same time as the new season of ATHF.
>>150406425>cartoons from the internet (Smiling Friends)Thats my favorite right now
Sex with Jerry's daughter.
>>150426831Justin…
>>150410901Jesus christ I remember watching Gravity falls back then, Rick and mortimer feels so much more recent
>>150427206They premiered around the same time and very quickly became viewed as sister shows for a while. Rick and Morty is ANCIENT
Allowing Steven Universe to happen is why we don't have any cartoons on the air right now.
>>150426765That line was just a wink at Clarke's laws, you're reading too much into it.
>>150426765https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdGKfBir7bI&t=20s
>>150427865>on the airwhat is that, grandpa? we use netflix now.
>>150419184>basically the simpson's house but now you need to be a surgeon to afford it
>>150416659Sappiness does not equal "deep" in the slightest. people think that anything sad is automatically more nuanced and important than anything that isn't, when that is absolutely not the case. People are weak-minded and vulnerable to anything that isn't happy or angry in tone, fear and sadness can carry a show to acclaim even if it's completely uninspired and empty.
>>150429800>an elaborate backstory on a guy who won the entire universe but it cost him the only love he would ever have isn't deep>what about fart jokes though?
>>150429864Deep does not equal good in the slightest.
>>150427851Better days...
>>150430032you would never be happy no matter what they did because you want to hate it for being too popular. you want to feel superior to its fans regardless of how retarded you are. you're such an angry faggot.
>>150405590not as much as it ruined itself
>>150413624you hate america!you love the terrorist!!
>>150410901This show will end in 2029.
>>150432519They got 12 seasons contracted.
>>150432519Lol they're gonna renewed again before that. There's a tiny HBO Max corner ad in rotation during Food Network programs, and Rick and Morty is the ONLY animated "content" advertised alongside prestige dramas, Live Sports, and Discovery's reality/game shows. And if you still don't believe WBD values the IP immensely, then that President spin-off should convince you: https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/adult-swim-announces-new-series-set-rick-and-morty-universe-president-curtis-starring
>>150430910cute boyfriends~
>>150424756Hate glowies.
>>150405590Sad!
>>150427851I remember seeing Rick and morty for the first time in that one Simpsons opening clipTime is moving too fast
>>150410920The show blew up after the love potion episode actually. I recall the Jellybean toilet seat scene also adding buzz (and controversy at the time). Remember that the Simpsons couch gag happened before Season 2 even started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ecYoSvGO60
>>150406947
>>150405590It did ask some genuine questions. For example:
>>150435666Funny because it's usually the people screeching about "muh contrarians" that won't let you have an opinion.
>>150435953Dislike what you do, but you can't shit on 25+ years of varied content by no small number of creators and call it all shit. That's contrarian by definition.
>>150435546Still such an awesome collab after all these years
>>150436065On one hand, i don't even agree with what anon shit.On the other, people have done it plenty of times and no one called them contrarians.
>>150406480Community had good writers on it like Dino Stamatopolous (who worked on Mr. Show and did Moral Orel) and Erik Sommers (Drawn Together and American Dad)
>>150418694Inside Job was more "Gravity Falls with swearing and nudity".
>>150436885Just because it's common doesn't disagree with the point of being a contrarian. That anon guaranteed has not watched all [as] content to make a blanket statement that it's all shit.
Wrong
>>150436350One of the few rare times The Simpsons wasn't behind on a trend
>>150429738HORSE surgeon!
>>150435546>most iconic episode was penned by Roiland This will never not be funny to me
>>150440058>most iconic episode guess again buddy
testing
>>150440058it fucked the story continuity. rick left his daughter to die without even a thought. it may have been an interesting episode but it was poorly thought out and screwed the show in the long run.
>>150440918Lowbrow: pickle rickHighbrow: Vat of Acid
>>150412520>sad song needle dropthey still doing that?when i saw that moment you posted it was too cringe for me, commemts about it didn't help>b-bruuh did he just try to.... kill himself?... bruhh like... bruhh.... im stunned bruuhhh
>>150411629I rememberHilariously enough, that was the episode S5 of Jack started to go downhill by focusing on monkey girl too much.
>>150441764testes
>>150441949I get the feeling they hadn't really decided on Rick's backstory until around Season 3. What they came up with thankfully still lets his handwaving of the C-137 family make *enough* sense with added context now. Like Simon on Adventure Time, this was an example of retconning gone right.
>>150435953I find that I still have opinions regardless of what words I read on a computer screen
>>150405590I never understood that episode. How is Rick in the wrong for wanting his private spot to be private?
>>150405590Why did every cartoon start looking either like Steven Universe or like the Simpsons in the 2010s?
>>150443407I think it was like, Rick developed a one sided friendship with the guy, acted ridiculous and inappropriate, the guy dies off screen, and Rick is devastated but also feels stupid for getting carried away with some random dude. tl;dr autism.
