Rick and Morty: AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY WE GO!

The Something Awful Forums > The Finer Arts > TV IV > Rick and Morty: AND AWAAAAAAAAAAY WE GO!

Funkmaster General: Sep 13, 2008; Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob.

Abraham Lincoln is pretty much the go-to "wacky" president, although I'm not 100% sure why. Maybe because George Washington is too obvious and the rest occupy a significantly less memorable slot? I guess you've also got your Bill Clinton, but he's mostly referenced with direct regard to his own actions, rather than in a totally out-of-nowhere sort of way.

Anyway, there's this, Adventure Time, the ATHF movie...

edit: I guess Reagan gets some of this, too, now that I think about it.

What should bother you is how Rick knew about it. I think Justin Roiland said that line was a placeholder that wasn't supposed to make it into the finished episode. IIRC he thought it was too crazy for someone not to notice (and change), but since people think he's insane anyway, they thought it was what he wanted and left it there.

I think this was answered via some reddit ama thing or some other interview. Someone said the puffy vagina thing was sort of a filler/placeholder joke, but they never got around to putting something else... in there.

I thought the puffy vagina thing was like super obvious but I guess not everyone has ridden that particular roller coaster so there ya go.

RE Lincoln: I, too, wonder why the giant, skinny as a rail awkward looking man in all black clothes with a stovepipe hat and neckbeard is the eternal target of endless ire, but maybe it has something to do with him being possibly the most recognizable US president in history and also totally loving goofy looking.

Lincoln can be representative both of the "nobility" and the "everyman" in storytelling. He presided over an incredibly contentious part of history and was the first president assassinated. His humble upbringing and background only add to the mystique. The fact that he is instantly recognizable to anyone who has seen a history book helps, too.

That and he killed all of those zombies and vampires...

The whole joke is Morty can't think of what's so bad about it. You're in the same boat as Morty. You should get the joke because that's all there is to it and you're PBFing it unnecessarily.

(sigh)
(sip of vodka)
When you write a script for TV, there's a schedule. The job isn't done when the script is "finished," it's done on Wednesday, finished or not. You acquire a discipline in TV writing of working in passes.
I had the script up on a big TV in the writers room and I was going through it, doing my pass, and I put the puffy vagina line in there. I thought, hey, this'll make the writers laugh, and then we'll be done with the script, and we'll send it to the network and they'll know it's a placeholder and they'll say "of course you have to change that" and the writers will say, "okay, let's change that now."
What I failed to realize is that the network is Adult Swim and the showrunner is Justin Roiland. So now we have Rick saying that this girl has a puffy vagina. And your question, which is totally valid, is why does Rick know that.
Why indeed. And, I mean, it's canon, so I'll answer.
I think Rick heard a rumor. I think Rick was working really hard on Pirates of the Pancreas and he'd make routine trips to the inside of Ruben, and I think, you know, in the break room, people talk.

[edit to add]: halfway through typing the answer to your question, I asked, in a semi-accusatory fashion, "who wrote that puffy vagina line?" And Ryan Ridley said "you did, mother fucker."

He is both one of the best president the US ever had and man who made his mark on history so theres the irony aspect, and hes also goofy looking and kinda weird so hes easy to make fun of.

I think it was more that he needed to find an Earth that didn't already have a Rick and Morty occupying it, so he had to search out one where they were already dead, but optimally one where he was ABOUT to die and could just quietly slip in to replace.

Well they were looking for a universe where they were able to fix things and then soon after Rick and Morty die, so our R & M can take their place.

I like the mental image of Lincoln brought to present day to watch R&M: first the basic history of Hitler has to be explained to him as he listens with horror, but then he heartily enjoys being lampooned with a mashup character.

Yeah, that's a very specific circumstance. You'd assume in most of the multiverses where the Rick Potion #9 event even happened (and that's not even a given, mind you), if Rick was competent/cared enough to actually solve it on his own he wouldn't gently caress up and die on a simple thing days later.
