Airplane Mode, has been described as “intentionally boring,” a creative approach the network honed with The Walking Dead.

yeah, you’re right, this is definitely not a world in which Gamer Gate is relevant at all anymore, gooooooood catch.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Secret that’s not a secret if you’ve ever actually read my commentary over the years: I low-key like this show. It’s one of the few ways for me to bond with my Dad and little bro.... both of them *love* this show and talk about it to no end. It makes the both of them so happy and it’s one of the few avenues I get to…

I think this is probably the first time the show has even slightly addressed some the more toxic side of the fanbase. To which I can say kudos. I love the show and the more it steps away from the “Facts Don’t Care About Your Feelings” stuff and becomes more self-reflective the better.

Two semi-unrelated thoughts:

I tried watching Rick and Morty then realized about ten minutes in that I was too smart to get it.

I really like Rick and Morty, but it’s fanbase is godawful.

I guess it’s just me but I can’t watch a cartoon that looks like it has been drawn by a 3rd grader on acid. I’m not saying that every cartoon character has to be drawn realistically. The Simpsons is not drawn realiistically and the animation does not offend me (even though the show should have been canceled about 15…

Come on! I’m just sitting here quietly, trying to eat my sandwich in peace. I’ve only got ten minutes until I’m supposed to be back in my cubical. And if I don’t hit my metrics this period, Susan’s gonna bump me another aisle away from the windows, and my succulents are already all wilty!

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty.

Anytime anyone tries to tell me how “smart” Rick and Morty is I laugh and just explain how most of their “smart” jokes are just dumbed down version of jokes that were better done in Futurama.

Richard and Mortimer is, at its absolute best, mildly entertaining. It’s “smart” and funny to those douchebro guys who are neither smart nor particularly funny, but are convinced they’re the wittiest person in every room. This show personifies the unearned confidence of straight white men.

Does this mean I have to put up with The Rick and Morty Guy at work again? I don’t need someone in the break room telling me both that I “really have to watch it” and also that “the real jokes” will be over my head, Brandon*!

“Awful Man is Awful Rich.”

Ok we’re done here.

And this is a guy who’s not kidding when he offers to pay in exposure.

Now he can probably afford to hire Jeff Goldblum.

yo what the fuck

I’ve never heard the term “housing it” used like this. Is it a regional thing? It’s pretty cool, very evocative.
