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

[A Cat Father]

The season finale paintball episodes of community were always a goof and a gaff

 

[Cowlick]

"Community", "R&M".... What has he been involved in that qualifies him as at all "functional"?! (On a side-note, I must admit to having "Community" Season 1 on DVD, but largely due to liking guest appearance(s) by "Vaughn" (AKA "NCIS: Los Angeles" star Eric Christian Olsen... Surprises me how he gets great guests for that show like ECO, John Oliver, & Taran Killam, but does a strong-enough wrong thing to hire Chevy full-on regular!)

I quit following this thread a while back and holy shit did I come back to a lot!

Believe it or not, I actually still like Rick and Morty after all of this (though I will admit that the third season was pretty shit compared to the first two), so I will be truly upset if it ends up getting shitcanned over Harmon being a twat.

A good number of pages back, I'd said that the best thing to do would be to fire Harmon and get Roiland a new partner to work with and keep him reigned in. I still believe that, and honestly at this point feel that blacklisting Harmon completely would be the ideal decision to make. The dude’s a complete sack of shit who doesn’t deserve to work in the entertainment industry.

He’s proof positive that Hollywood is slazy and lacking in talent.

What is it with Dan Harmon and him getting shitty by the 4th season of his creations?

Enough money to get drugs.

How was he creepy? Just curious. Unbearable I get because he's a ruthless perfectionist who never gets shit done on time.

He's creepy to female colleagues, and tried to get his hands on a friend's 16 yrs old daughter. There's an interview with him and a cartoonist lady over Ren and Stimpy adult party cartoon and its the cringiest shit

Would be if not for Ridley Scott cutting Kevin Spacey out of a movie & re-shooting all his scenes in it with a different, equally-talented (at worst) actor.

John K is a creepy creepy scum bag.
If you’re a woman, you definitely should not work with him. No one should. But especially women.
Fortunately he’s also a terrible person to work for or with in general so no one will hire him. But if someone does, I promise the floodgates will open on his past behavior.

In some ways, people who were already legendary creeps long before #metoo are lucky because absolutely nobody is going to be shocked when someone says Andy Dick did something creepy or outright criminal.

Third, really. Third season of Community was very hit-or-miss for a lot of fans, including me; some episodes were brilliant (the CSI and timelines episodes) and some were... just OK. Similarly, season three's episodes of R&M was generally agreed to be much weaker compared to the previous two with some exceptions. If you're autistic enough you can find much more similarities between the shows. It's like pottery, I guess you could call it.

Maybe Dan Harmon has a terminal disease that causes him to fuck up everything after a certain amount of time.

Three seasons is usually the amount of time for his shows to gain traction, and he gets the idea he's "brilliant" and starts getting weird with shit. A thing about Harmon is he almost never, ever seems to get anything except glowing, overflowing praise from everybody. If I was a drunk sperglord who got nothing but acclaim in every direction, it'd go to my head too.

It also didn't help that it wasn't until recently that Communitys "concept" shit started getting a negative reputation, when it was airing people loved that horseshit and got super pissy with anyone who said they didn't.

Overwhelming critical acclaim + an army of asspies + Ketel One = a Dan Harmon

This sort of thing is so ingrained in his character I don't think he can stop doing it. Like a lot of guys his age he's a fanboy, and a lot of his stuff has to do with making tributes to the parts of nerd culture he has made his religion. For his entire career he's been doing weird reference concepts to things. They can be amusing at the time, but then you realize there is not a single original idea in this man's head. For a man who pontificates about storytelling and all that, he has not in his life created a single original idea that he can really tag his name to. He's also so pretentious that he's no doubt spun that into some sort of ethos, "there IS no originality!" or some other hack Creative Writing 101 shit.

I guess Harmob's too busy being smug and arguing with teenagers on Twitter to remember that contract work still comes with expectations of things like "meeting deadlines" and maintaining a professional work environment the way you would with a payroll job. And that if the company contracting you decides that you're not meeting those expectations, they can consider that grounds for terminating the contract and throwing your drunk ass to the curb.

But what do I know, I've never been kicked off my own show.

I don't believe contract work still comes with expectations of meeting deadlines & whatnot... If that were true, McHale wouldn't have lost "Community" & "Soup" to cancellation & still (later or simultaneously) been paid to do ads for (forget which auto company, who knows how many & how many airings each got per day/week/month) & that "Great Indoors" show. [Specifically recall that one, as I loved watching Stephen Fry (who I'd seen on British "Whose Line" episodes) on that, but had to simultaneously watch & listen to McHale)... Nor would all the sexual abuse allegations be going on, mentioned in so many different ways at Globes & SAGs (like they were expecting this controversy with those acronym names!), let alone Ratner getting knocked from the Hugh Hefner biopic due to it).

It varies depending on the studio, the contract negotiations prior, and who's signing it, but generally speaking signing a contract always comes with some expectations of producing results and upholding a certain level of conduct in the form of Service Expectations and Moral Clauses. It's just that in the past studio executives were more willing to be more lenient regarding "bigger" names when it came to behavior that would get a normal underling getting the bums rush - hence why the whole #metoo has gotten a lot of attention, quite a few people that were previously considered untouchable due to their star power got their contracts dropped when their skeletons were open secrets in Hollywood for years is somewhat out of the norm.

Point being Dan acting like he's untouchable in light of recent allegations, his part history of getting kicked off shows, and it being reported that no one has even started working on season 4 yet just screams like tempting fate. There's still a bunch of women still working for R&M after all, and nothing of Harmon's behavior after that "woe is me" pity party he calls an apology appears to have actually changed.

"Generally speaking" = Equally sometimes & sometimes not, but only the one backs what I'm stating.

BS. Years ago, you had to actually have talent, not just a shared name or connection with someone who did... Once your talent got you some type of spotlight, you had to have something approaching morality, or they would not have lasted long enough to get to be "big names"

hence why the whole #metoo has gotten a lot of attention

Again, BS. If you read the headlines & listings for TV & movies, reboots are here, coming, or being discussed, so Hollywood needed a new controversy to get people talking about it & something new.

quite a few people that were previously considered untouchable due to their star power got their contracts dropped when their skeletons were open secrets in Hollywood for years is somewhat out of the norm.

BS-like due to run-on ending.

Point being he is just the male version of Amber Tamblyn & half the women out there that have made accusations in the past 6 months: Trying to get his name in the news to remind people they exist & hope those people hire them for new/further jobs.

Well, have you ever been kicked off of your own speaking engagement?

So it begins. Dan Harmon is ascending from regular AIDS to pure Ebola.

"You're a mistake and your parent's shouldn't have conceived you because you question why I spend so much time on Twitter as opposed to working on one of the only things I have that makes me relevant right now."

Truly the intellectual show-runner Rick and Morty deserves. After all, why be efficient when you can be a whiny little bitch?

You forgot: will throw a temper tantrum like a giant bearded baby if he gets criticized.
