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 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".
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 think part of that is how popular merchandising like funko pops have become in recent years, Futurama was many years ago at this point.
Second reason is that despite its longevity in the internet consciousness, it’s easy to forget Futurama was fairly unpopular when it was originally airing.
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
Rick and Morty is not intelligent
you're just mad you aren't enlightened enough to understand the eloquent humor of pickle rick
You probably just didn't understand all the intellectual jokes for high IQ individuals like myself
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 😭😭😭
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
This is some primo sadcringe

Wasnt Roiland actually cleared by the court?
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.
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.
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.
