Careercow Dan Harmon - Creator of Community, co-creator of Rick and Morty, and barely functional alcoholic

[KM 749]

Dan Harmon talks about alcohol and his feelings of self-loathing in this interview.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/...sses-his-new-documentary-and-going-to-therapy

"What I know about conversations about addiction is that if you deny it, then that’s when the real high-maintenance conversations start... So if you just say, “Yes, I’m an alcoholic,” it makes the conversation as short as it should be."

"the mustard bottle reminded me of the time I tried to be funny on Ben Stiller’s answering machine and made a complete ass of myself and probably made him hate me forever... I’m making a sandwich and I’m thinking about this thing that makes me a bad person"

" I relate to people who feel alienated. I relate to people who feel like they’re somehow fundamentally cut off from people on a level that “normal” people take for granted"

The tone of most interviews with Dan alone are like interviews with a disaster victim who is recovering from PTSD and survivor's guilt.

This thread is going to need a whole lot more

Quite a bit. There's a few episodes where the show is ripped completely from his hands (the superhero one, for example) and he predictably calls them the worst episodes in the series.

Yeah, I was going to say, Harmon is definitely a cunt, but if it was just Justin Roiland on the show it would be a schizophrenic mess. Some of his other stuff is great, but it's all stream of conciousness lunacy and that's not network television.

Also since this thread isn't nearly autistic enough for the creator of rick and morty and community, I wanted to weigh in on the Harmon self insert thing. It's obvious rick is who Harmon thinks of himself as - in pop psychology terms, rick is the super ego and Beth is the ego. And who is the id? I think @DonaldChump was onto something -

He very blatantly expresses it and in a way I think it's to get pity points. He's an asshole and normally people would treat him like shit for it, but he tells them of his flaws and his tragedies and he's probably not lying, maybe not even playing them up, but he uses it about like Pavlov's bell.

Jerry is Dan Harmon's id.

How unexpected.

an example, a comic he posted on his twitter just a week ago

Justin is one of those guys who makes jokes like that. Watch House of Cosbys. It's the bit that he's committing to.

This is his podcast in a nutshell.

That would explain this.

Can we stop calling him the "creator" of R&M?
The only reason this bum has his name on the credits of that show is beacuse he managed Justin Roiland's deranged initiative and creativity to a comercial success, anybody who's been following Justin Roiland way before Rick and Mort knows that: 1) R&M is 100% Roiland's creation and Dan should have no right to claim credit of it and 2) Justin himself is a creepy, mentally unstable person.

Dan just got lucky he found a way to leech from this.

the "intellectual" fans and dan deserve each other

All his projects except for Community are like this. Harmonquest was made by Spencer Crittenden but Dan slapped his name on it because fuck it, if it was made by his assistant it was made by him.

You can still like the show despite one of the creators being an asshat. You don’t have to like the creator of a thing to enjoy the thing itself.

Case in point, John K.

Finally a careercow thread that's about an actual cow instead of "[insert celeb here] doesn't agree with my political views!!!"

 

[beansntoast]

lol I know it was the entire point of my rant that his jokes are old, overused and autistically focused on one topic. made even more obvious by the videos just posted, thx

edit: and yeah any media producer is some kind of lolcow apparently, that's why usually don't look much into celebritys, makes it easier to just enjoy what they put out

 

[Cake Farts]

I was getting red flags from Unbelievable Tales in the other thread it was posted in.....

Seriously, people who put Harmon on an untouchable pedestal can fuck off, there was nothing funny about it. I love crude humor, but that was all crude and no humor.

Actually, the very point in the post you were quoting was that that was all Roiland's "creative" work and essentially all Harmond did was introduce Roiland to some producers but he gets misleadingly called a "co-creator" for it.

You're certainly entitled to believe it's shit, but just to be clear: it has little to do with Harmond at all.

Either way, it's still unsettling.

Apparently, Roiland creeps on young chicks. Huh. The deeper you look, the more of a shitpile this is.

 

[KimCoppolaAficionado]

yeah I know everyone makes jokes about their hardships, humour makes it bearable but Roiland puts some molestation shit in pretty much everything he produces. there's a difference between making jokes to feel better about what happened and having an unhealthy obsession about it to the point it becomes almost your only joke, it's neither the pinnacle of comedy nor shockingly dark like he seems to think. I'm just like "yeah Justin we get it you're edgy"

I couldn't care less if he's a pedo or not, I just find it :autism: and cheap that he puts it in everything, it really seems to be his "special interest"

an example, a comic he posted on his twitter just a week ago:

Spoiler

Really? It's the molestation humor you find cheap, and not his endless dick, fart, and gore jokes?

 

[KM 749]

Imagine being more well-known and well-connected than 90% of your peers and having the power to make your own series, just to spend most of your time getting drunk, ranting about the current year or bitching on social media through namecalling and blocking random fans.

 

[cactus]

Which is why I said that it was likely at a point where they were suffering complications, but not really at the level where she decided she wanted out yet. I'm just making assumptions, but they're assumptions based on existing information.

Why would they get married then? I don't know how long it took to make the episode, and unless one of them was under the assumption marriage would fix their problems (lol), it makes no sense to assume this.

 

[SomethingWittyandBadass]

With everyone is posting about how people are getting sexual assualt, I bet someone is gonna come out of this shindig and said I was touched by Justin at a con a couple of years ago on a tumblr callout section hahaha. Ahhh... man. But really though Harmon is a known piece of shit throughout the community.

No wonder rick and Morty has been so annoying to me, his self loathing shit and "everyone's an idiot except me" additude is literally leaking into the show and it makes everyone punchable. Doesn't help that the two feminists he hired are also playing some weird power fantasy daddy issues with summer and Jerry

 

[bottomfeeder]

I agree and still do like the show. It'll make watching more fun knowing Rick is truly a blatant self-insert. This guy... is wild.

Also, lol, Justin's not a pedo. Stop being autistic.

Not saying Justin Roiland is a pedo, but he is surely obsessed with the theme of child molestation, so the question still remains: edgelord, or repetition compulsion?
