I dunno, I feel confident that McDonald's feels pretty good about the returns on the whole meme sauce stunt.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Ironically it seems like 'I'm pickle rick' was the show making fun of itself and showing Rick making his own forced catchphrase given he literally orchestrated the whole thing to get out of having to go to therapy. (and it didn't work)

People getting made about sauce when they should be mad about the lack of McDonald's Pizza for years on end.

And I don't think McDonald's would have wanted to be a part of that.

Ah, then again, there's also this one:

McDonalds has always been promoted, inadvertently or not, in super shady ways by unofficial or official means TBH. Most are godawful...some, though, are pretty drat cool.

That vid did make me question, tho, how much cancer was brought into those McDonalds shops by R&M fans and how much cancer was there to begin with due to people who frequent McDonalds in the first place. Or if it's the intersection of both that made the fallout of cringe just exceptionally awful.

This show is loving amazing, and is literally one of the best shows I've seen.

Thank you for your consideration.




and lol that on the first page of this thread somebody is stomping they own dick to be the first one to run in and breathlessly shout "pickle rick"

fans are the worst

Pickle Rick was about 13 months ago, also you shouldn't let fans of something dictate your personal enjoyment of it it's not like you have to interact with them on any level while you watch the show.

Absolutely everyone eats at fast food garbage places unless they are health conscious to avoid it. The demographic of People who like Rick & Morty probably is fully encompassed within the sphere of people who eat garbage.

who cares precisely how many months ago it was (also haha that multiple posters immediately leaped into the thread to smugly correct my precise timing on the episode airing, you both win, you are the Bigger Fans)

the point is it's a very good show and i was wrong to let its rabid fans keep me away from it, like that's the point of my post.

edit: to be clear, i stayed away because the rabid fans are garbage subhuman fucks. kids screaming memes at each other is one thing (i am not interested in this), and manbabies sending rape threats to the female writers of the show is another thing that happened. the fans of this show are basically known to be the worst subset of people who identify as fans of a thing.

it is a goodamn excellent show and i binged through it in two days and i would recommend it to anybody

i also do not care which month a given episode originally aired

Mr poop man went through a hard bout of recovery, got a job and started a family. Most R&M watchers just hosed around and wasted their time waiting for the next season.

Eh, seems like some of those were just "pick which of these you like the least". Like, I've never interacted with Big Bang Theory fans, but it got far in the bracket. I think a lot of old people watch that show because they like the bright colors and laugh track, but I don't think they're getting online and starting toxic fandoms about it.

I don’t think anyone even enjoys Big Bang theory to a degree they actually care about it. Like you put it on the TV and go do other things.

I've never heard anyone passionately defend BBT, which seems like a very bad show, but do anti fans count for this contest? The whole "BBT is nerd blackface, stop appropriating our culture" thing was pretty drat embarrassing.
