FWIW, I believe the line referred to men in general, not African men explicitly.

The B and C stories were genuinely A material; the main story was meh—solid but not amazing. But man, those B and C stories were spectacular, and I would’ve happily seen an entire episode built around just them (even if that dulled the appeal).

Nadja ending the meeting with the younger vampires was THE BEST.

Hell, I just now learned today that Watts was not the very first prospective Stones drummer (that honor going to Avory).

I was always blown away by Sway.  Just an absolute legend.

Jim Morrison said, “No one here gets out alive.” He was, of course, right.

I don’t listen to Billie Eilish. Her music means the world to my stepdaughter, so I have some respect for anyone who makes her feel special & respected. She could be amazing but it’s not my call to make, & I’m not going to criticize anyone for their taste.

“Call out the fans”? Fuck, what a thought! Are her fans the ones who like her pretty songs? Do they like to sing along? Do they own and operate firearms?

I was never really grossed out by the Luke/Leia romance. I mean, they didn’t know.

Based on the netflix doc on the making of the movie, it sounds like they were going to make the Sgt. a more action heavy character and then rethought it and made him more of the “guy in the chair” type.

He comes off as a guy who is just really grateful for every role he’s had.

He probably knows that from it being mentioned twice in the question itself.

Wesley Snipes? I just don't see that.

For a bit more context, this cartoon is not a response to Watterson directly, but to this:

I do find it funny that ratings today that make a show a major hit would have gotten it cancelled in the ‘70s.

Unfortunately, when you’re talking about a comparison to something liek Rick and Morty to the Simpsons, broadcast TV ratings is one of the only ones we can use, just because it’s one of the only metrics that existed in both times.

I wouldn’t judge success by that, but certainly the proliferation of Simpsons toys, albums, t-shirts and other memorabilia was far, far more than what we have for Rick and Morty given it was consumed by so many more people.

Its an old adage. How ironic can you keep shilling until your just shilling? Its like ironically liking a band for years. Is there a different between being ironic and actually just liking it?

20 million people watched every episode of the Simpsons in the 1990s. 5 million watch R&M. And there were 82 million fewer people in the US in 1990. Rick and Morty on cable has a tiny following compared to the prime time broadcast of The Simpsons.
