Infected The Rick and Morty fandom and haters

[friedshrimp]

Here's Mister Metokur's two cents on this tornado of cringe:

Huh, he came to the same conclusion I did.

 

[sideofthematress]

Ah, who can forget everyone's favorite show "Reddit & Memey".

 

[IrishGuy088]

Good thing it takes so long to make new seasons of The Venture Bros. These types of crazy fans don't have the patience to wait for that, so Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick can ruin the show all on their own.

Going to be real funny when the people who got tattoos of the show have to explain them in 5 years when the show is completely forgotten

Imagine the combo where both the Rick and Morty references are stale, plus on top of that you now have a terrorist organization tattooed on you. Good luck in your future career, I suppose.

A show by tards for tards. I'm glad I never liked this show.

to be fair you need to have a really high IQ to understand chris chan 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 Chris' autistic outlook which deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from video games, 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 Sonichu truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Chris Chan’s existential catchphrase “but in the stone age,” 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 Chris Chan’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have a Sonichu tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for Julies 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

I was genuinely interested in the Szechwan sauce being brought back. It's cool when a food item from the past gets brought back for a small amount of time like Crystal Pepsi or Ecto Cooler.

I just never thought I'd see a grown man screaming and flailing his arms like some sort of animal because the McDonald's was all out of stock.

Haters is a broad term. I believe most people just like to shit on things because liking things is stupid kinda like @CatParty does. Can also be called that by laughing at dumb shit by pointing out tism. Or something a word a teen says. THAT BEING SAID there is nothing wrong with liking Rick and Morty. But that sauce thing just cemented Rick and Morty as MLP level cringe via fan association league wise.

...CARTOONS!

"Oh jeeze Rick..."
"Just relax Morty!"

Also there is a lot of lolicon of Mortica, the UNDERAGED female Morty from Pocket Morties. Don't google her, unless you want to shower in Clorox for a week.

There is something truly wrong with these people. I swear.

I started avoiding this show from the start because of the obscene level of hype it got. Nothing could be as good as the superfans were making it sound.
Well, I eventually gave it a shot, only to find myself incredibly annoyed by it. The art style is absolutely hideous, Morty just sounds like Abracadaniel from Adventure Time with anxiety, Rick's constant burping got irritating fast, and it was more crude than clever. I guess it gets better as it goes along but - much like Steven Universe - it's just so ugly for me to look at that I'm not willing to keep trying with it.
My brother-in-law did ask me if I could drive to the McDonalds by my apartment and get him some of the sauce. This is a grown-ass man with a wife and child, asking me if I can drive to a fast food place to get him Rick and Morty sauce. I'm glad I was working that day so I had an excuse not to go...

 

[Awkwafina]

Sorry if I'm living under a rock but why are fans shitting their pants over this sauce? Can't you just go to the store and buy some? It would be much easier.

I know that this was pages ago but I don't think you ever got a real answer - basically it was legitimately a one off joke in an episode about McDonald's no longer having the "Mulan Szechuan Sauce" and how (I believe?) Rick loved it so much and (iirc?) the joke then became Rick and Morty will get a new season as long as the Szechuan Sauce isn't available and then people started actually emailing and @'ing and calling McDonald's so much they just shipped the creator a huge bottle of it and made it available for one day only at certain locations and only at a specific time and only in specific quantities.

I think the tragedy in all this is that, through the very clear autism, people really do love this show and it's kinda fucked McDonald's took advantage of their love for something like that. My friend said it was also tied to buying their new nasty nuggets or some shit?? And it was one order pp so idk how people got so many packets because my friend also said after about 6 orders they were out of the sauce. McDonald's did these people dirty but I'm torn because I feel like they kinda deserve it for being so annoying.

Also, one time me and my boyfriend got drunk and watched this video and made the sauce ourselves it's not that good but people literally could just make it themselves as well?? It's made from the real packet......

When I first saw this show I didn't feel it was much different than any other Sunday night Adult Swim show, you're up late, you might be drunk/stoned or just goofy tired and it's meant for that state of mind.

It took me until this year to check out the fanbase and now I just won't watch it. Somebody here on kf put up the season ender and it was just..an episode.

I will not look at one iota of any fan shit for my true love, Red Dwarf because if permavirgin autists are basing their lives on it I might just go door to door kicking asses like Jay and Silent Bob did to Moviepoopshoot forum members.
This is why we can't have nice things.

So this is the euphoric version of the Steven Universe fandumb?

With more edglelords and community college misanthropes. Shame, too. Show's pretty funny sometimes

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Kiwifarms. The trolling is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Christory most of the posts will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Null's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Sonichu literature, for instance. The Kiwis understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these doxes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Kiwifarms truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in the Kiwis' existencial catchphrase "lol calm down" which itself is a cryptic reference to Elliot Rodger's Meninist epic My Twisted World. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Sonichu tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

It’s sad society has no mechanism to shut this embarrassing behavior down. I knew weird shit happens in fandoms, but it was typically kids shows I don’t watch like Steven Universe. Seeing this happen in response to a show I actually like is surreal. I feel like I’m partially responsible for recommending it, or even watching it.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to shit post on the internet. That post and this post isn't shit posting.

It's think this is more of a millennial thing, but why does it seem that nearly every successful cartoon, TV show, video game, comic book novel, etc that has come out in the past 5 years has had this happen to it?

These different works of fiction and art go through a timeline that is similar to this:

1.X finds success.
2.X gains a following.
3.Fans of X read into the source material way too much and take the product too seriously.
4.Fans of X are aggressive towards outsiders of the fandom.
5.Internet then begins to hate X. This more often has less to do with the source material being bad, but rather the fans are just so obnoxious that people don't want to share interests with someone this unpleasant to be around.

Maybe it's because I haven't watched Rick and Morty in awhile, but I don't remember it being a Nova special in cartoon form. These people have to realize that at the end of the day, it's a dumb, fun comedy on AS, not a pretentious Terrance Malick film with an intended audience of self proclaimed geniuses.

Inb4 Cuphead gets a horrible fandom.

They already have that it's called "Bendy and the Ink Machine".

There is no such thing as shitposting when you are posting on the extremely high tier we post at here. We call it godposting here.
