I'm a huge dork who reads too much into things, but did anyone else notice that during the VR game's "This is canon!" Morty becoming a vegan rant, he says that we'll see the effects in season 4, suggesting that the game takes place between seasons 3 and 4, but yet we see that Jerry is living in the house, which may indicate an event that occurs somewhere in season 3 (Jerry moving back in)? 100% guaranteed that I'm an idiot who is paying too close attention to a silly fourth-wall break, though.

We also still don't know if C-137 is the universe the show started in (and got Cronenburg'd), or if it is the one they are currently in, who's original Rick and Morty are dead.

It's good as a non-sequitur, but it isn't very much of an ad. I mean, I guess it worked because I did not know there was another Aliens movie coming out, and now I do, but aside from that specific bit of information I know nothing about the product. It doesn't make me want to watch it, either, it just makes me want to watch more Rick and Morty.

Zaphod42 posted:Would you rather watch a typical movie trailer that spoils every aspect of the plot? Well I'd at least like to know what the tone of the movie is supposed to be, given that that has varied wildly throughout the series. I assume it isn't supposed to be a comedy. The ad itself is fantastic, I just mean that it works more as a piece of short form entertainment than as an advertisement. And like I said, I guess I'm just wrong about that, too, because I didn't even know about the movie before and now I'm curious about several aspects of it, sooooo..... I guess I'll shut up now.

Faustian Bargain posted:I can't figure out the rules for when they can and can't say "poo poo." Originally, and for a long time, you could never say poo poo. Then, for a short while, you could say it only as an interjection. You could say "Oh, poo poo!" or "That's lovely," but not "I took a poo poo" or "go eat poo poo," because the latter was using the word to refer to feces which is, somehow, considered more offensive. But now you can just say poo poo whenever you feel like, I guess. I don't think they've censored it since Interdimensional Cable 1, which was the first time I noticed the uncensored use of it on the show. I don't watch very much live TV anymore so I don't know how it goes on other shows or networks.

Eifert Posting posted:The uncensored version on iTunes still has pixelated dicks and I actually rode Dan Harmon an angry tweet about it. The season 2 blu-ray also didn't have uncensored dicks, and the commentary they talk a bit about it. I don't recall the whole thing but basically they asked themselves internally "should we show the dicks in the uncensored version?" and the answer they ultimately reached was "nah." They did confirm that the dicks were fully drawn and animated, though. No "an uncensored version doesn't exist, it was always just a blur" bullshit. Maybe someday the dickfull version will surface. Not sure why I am excited at the prospect of maybe seeing an old man's dangling tackle and wrinkly ballsack at some point in the future, but that's what this show does to people, I guess.

empty whippet box posted:But the rick and morty of the show are both c-137, unless that's a lie. Which it could be. I always thought Morty just heard Rick identify himself that way and just sort of picked it up. Morty probably is just assuming that he is C-137 Morty, when all we really know is that Rick Prime is C-137 Rick. Dimension C-137 is presumably the one that was Cronenburged, but it could also be another one altogether taht we've never seen.

Cojawfee posted:I don't really know what that is, but both interpretations of the license plate reach the same conclusion, Saturn V. It's a visual gag in a Simpsons episode. The sign says "Sneed's Seed and Feed (Formerly Chuck's)". The obvious joke is that the place used to be called Chuck's Suck and gently caress, but for some reason people like to argue about this as though there could be any other interpretation of that punchline... possibly because it's an unusually "mature" joke for the series.

Everyone always forgets that meseeks and destroy is the one where Morty almost gets raped. That makes it a potential hard sell for someone not already into the show. Or a filter for people who can't handle the darker themes, I guess.

CelticPredator posted:JTHM is great when you're 15. If someone claims they still love it, chances are they haven't re-read it. Like it's fine for what it is, a teen angsty gently caress the world, with a comedic edge to it...but it don't hold up if you're over the age of at least 22. I still like the story that JTHM ended up telling in the last few issues. I haven't re-read it recently, but I feel like everything after Johnny dies is probably still tolerable, if maybe not as funny. The early stuff, where it was just a comic about a guy who killed people in grotesque ways for no reason, almost certainly doesn't. I also feel like Squee might hold up a bit better, but I'm probably wrong. I wish I'd seen some of the early Roiland stuff around the time I was into Vasquez because I can't stand most of it now. On a related note, did anyone else think for a minute there that were were going to see a mister sprinkles cameo?

Just in case anyone here was worried that people in this thread are insane and too busy reading in to every aspect of the show, rest assured we are tame by comparison to the rest of the internet. An article just showed up in my phone's recommended links thing that declares a "secret" season finale episode of rick and morty is on the way in december, because Mr Poopybutthole says "the next time you see me I'll have a big white beard," and also Santa Claus has a big white beard, so obviously there's a Christmas episode coming, and obviously because Adult Swim aired an episode early as an april fool's prank it follows that they would air one late as a christmas... prank? People are dumb, basically.

Don't waste your time. I went to the closest listed location to me and they said they didn't get any at all, and that even though like 20 locations were listed in my state, they said only ONE of those locations got any sauce. The restraunt was packed and apparently everyone was there looking for sauce. I didn't know whether to be frustrated because the website essentially was lying, or just feel sorry for the people working there. What kind of idiot greenlights a promotion where an extremely in demand product is available at one store per state in the first place? I guess McDonald's is going thr Nintendo route with this one.

Away all Goats posted:Probably because any attempt at portraying trump, even neutrally, is gonna come across as satirical. Imagine Trump having a tanturm about not wanting to take a selfie, it would just be too realistic I don't think the president in Rick and Morty is supposed to be Obama. It's just "generic president" and they decided to make him Keith David because that guy rules. I doubt his skin color even came up and they would have made him match whoever did the voice if Keith had turned the role down. Hell, his name on the show is literally just "Mr. President." This isn't a show that would shy away from calling him Obama if that's who they were trying to portray.

lol at the people trying to shame others for wanting to try the sauce. Have you never heard of novelty? I went to get some sauce for the same reason you might go see a movie in 3D instead of standard, or go have dinner at medieval times, or whatever. It's a sauce that's been hyped up for months and had a limited window to try (albeit much more limited than advertised). Obviously a McDonald's sauce isn't going to be mindblowing, or probably even good, but it has that novelty factor to it. People bought loving swedish fish flavored oreos, of course they're going to buy rick and morty meme sauce.

Jerkface posted:Im old enough to remember actually eating mulan sauce when it came out originally I also remember eating this sauce as a child. I don't actually remember what it tasted like, or if I liked it, but I remember the promotion well becauase it was one of the first instances I can remember of being wrong about something for a long time and feeling like a loving idiot when I discovered the truth. I was 8 or 9 at the time, and around when the promotion started, our local mcdonald's changed their drive-through signage to include a logo that's still being used: the one with the golden arches and a... skateboard? Or roller skates? Or whatever it is underneath it, with speed lines coming off the back. When I saw this, for some reason I made the assumption that this logo was a tie-in with the Mulan promotion and an attempt to make the McDonald's logo look like a chinese character. To me, chinese text just looked like lines and circles and junk anyway, so this made sense. The promotion ended, and the location never took the sign with that logo down, and I just assumed the people who worked there were lazy or something. Then we moved, several times, and no matter where we went I kept noticing the logo pop up all over the place and thinking about how weird it is that all these stores never took down their loving mulan logos. Once, when I was like 11 or 12, I think I even told someone at the drive thru window that they had forgotten to take down the mulan sign, and they gave me a weird look. In retrospect, the guy I told that to certainly didn't even know there had ever been a mulan promotion. It wasn't until an embarassing amount of time later - like when I was a teenager - that I realized what the logo was supposed to be. I think it was around the time I decided that the idea of turning the McDonald's logo into a chinese character was sort of weirdly racist, and upon considering that along with the large number of restraunts that "forgot" to take the signage down for six or seven years. So because of this weird incorrect belief I held about that logo, I spent a lot of time recalling that mulan promotion over the years, and still think about it sometimes when I see the logo.

Maybe the whole thing was actually genius; make only enough sauce to technically be able to say you gave some out, piss off hundreds of nerds, then a month later say "Okay, fine, have your stupid sauce," put out actual quantities, and now they get all those same nerds back plus all the normal folk who end up reading about the angry crowds the first time and figure the sauce must be something special.

I'm pretty sure the only reason McDonald's didn't release the sauce as part of an actual official Rick and Morty tie-in is because Rick and Morty is an explicitly adult brand, andwhile McDonald's has plenty of adult customers to market to, they have chosen for many years to market to children almost exclusively. They can't make Mr. Meseeks happy meal toys because then a kid might go watch that episode of the show and see lots of cursing and drinking and an attempted rape. Someone involved in this promotion probably really anted it to be an official RnM tie-in, but it just wouldn't be healthy for the brand to do it that way. By doing it the way they did, they get to wink and nudge at the Rick and Morty fanbase while not actually exposing children to it. It's kinda lovely that that means the show's creators get cut out of it, but considering how the promotion went, if I were them I'd be really glad that they didn't get permission to use my IP, because now of course I get to say "I had nothing to do with this" without lying.
