Nobody is upset about the graphic murders in the show, but a jelly bean trying to get a boy to lick him is too much. Everyone has to fall over themselves proclaiming to strangers about how it affects them. It's worse than circumcision or well done steaks. Yeah, about time someone stood up for all the murder victims' feelings. Everything that people argue about is wrong.

I was murdered once, and I have some serious trigger issues as a result.

How is this any different from the controversy over Kick rear end where people lost their damned minds over an 11-year-old girl saying "cunts" and "motherfucker", but the five dozen violent, brutal murders she performs slide without a mention.

The focus on that specific scene is strange. You guys are obsessed with rape.

I never thought I'd be the person who was arguing in favor of a rape scene but seriously there was no joke here, it had a thematic point, and if anything it was a fair portrayal of how an almost-rape can gently caress up someone terribly (where it's often brushed off as an "oh no, I barely avoided rape!" instead of narrowly avoiding rape being its own trauma). Nobody downplayed it, there was nothing humorous about it, and it underscored the terror a kid feels. It's dramatically better than almost any other sexual assault scene I've seen in television media.

My favorite part of any decent discussion on SA is when a bunch of dudes come in and say "wow this discussion is soooo pointless  "The scene was specifically made to not have a joke, in a comedy show. If there were a brutal murder scene that had the victim slowly realizing they were going to die, then we'd be discussing that. We are meant to talk about it, and how rape is portrayed in media, get over it.

Clearly we're discussing the show wrong. What we're supposed to be discussing is "how badass Rick is with his guns and poo poo. How funny was it when Meseeks said he was Meseeks again? har har! Also golf, lol, golf is for idiots. How funny were the golf jokes, on an arbitrary scale out of ten?"

Honestly, I think anyone actually involved with the show is best staying out of this sort of thing anyway. Insider info and little titbits are always cool, but getting into yelling matches with us knob-ends is never going to go well. Thanks for posting all this cool stuff!

I'm surprised that there hasn't actually been any yelling or brouhaha in the last week. Everyone's been pretty cool, no matter what their perspective on things. I think it's because everyone's still onboard with the show. Also, I went through the epiode again, just checking out the incredible detail in the backgrounds, and noticed this:  Giant penny.

Hey, Typical, I'm starting color art on my solo cartoon in Toon Boom. Any shortcut tips you can give from someone that's actually being paid to use it?  Do you do any of the rigging or is that all done by the overseas studio?

If the Meeseks killed Jerry and thus, technically, didn't improve his golf stroke would they have just kept living in pain forever? I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to this.

The problem I had was that it was in-between a bunch of jokes. Frankly, the way they treated it made me respect the writing even more.
