Why the gently caress hasn't the air date of season three been announced yet? I swear to God I'm about to start stabbing random people.

They said it's been pushed back to early 2018, a specific date isn't too useful at this point.

Please tell me the last time America was schwifty, Mr. Trump. Was it the 60 years ago when minorities had to go to separate schools and drink out of separate water fountains? Is the the schwiftiness you want to take us back to?

Red and Blue animation pencils are a thing of the past, all art nowadays is done exclusively with my grubby fat fingers on either an i-pad, i-tablet or one of those new fangled Vive controllers. But mostly I just yell directly into my imac's facetime and it does the work for me.

There are an assortment of yellow phallic shaped fruits available for human consumption. as well as cheetos and doritos for the more nerdy types. some people drink the flavored water. but such an act is considered pretentious among animators. The thick black stuff in round containers is the most sought after beverage. in addition to to its uncanny ability to wash your bowels out it also gives you the much needed strength to animate at 60 frames per second. (we have to accommodate for 4k TV's)

I'm a power bottom in this unconstitutional marriage to the production. But I have some side action with a nice artist at Sony Animation.

Yes, All the animation for the whole world is done in burbank. with the money they got from snow white, Animators built this town back in the 40's out of rubber and left over WW2 plane parts. also please don't yell at our buildings or tap on the glass. artists are sensitive creatures.

All of the human artists are paid, of this you can be sure. We have dabbled in cheaper more efficient computer generated artists before, but the drawings come out too stiff.

Not sure if this question is kosher, but have you heard anything about new merchandise being produced? Seems like a bunch appeared out of nowhere, like that Total Rickall game and now that Meeseeks box bundle ThinkGeek has.

Or rather, is there any merchandise that was discussed and then scrapped? Anything you'd personally like to see come to light?

Does this mean that it's now double the required work, or is it just something you need to keep in mind while still animating at 25FPS? If you have to animate twice as much, is it just same technique but more effort, or does higher frame rate require different techniques than traditional animation?

There have been alot of talks about making a miniature but fully functional portal gun. but our early research has concluded that this is coincidentally the universe where the laws of physics don't allow for portals at this time. Im waiting for them to port Jerry's balloon game to PC though. all the user mods and multiplayer modes would be really fun.

Well its actually 59.9999999 frames. but we come in on Saturdays to make up the extra frame. I draw with both hands though so it isn't harder for me. i cant speak for other people though.

Its normal if you want to stay competitive with all those virtual hentai simulators. our research indicated there's a lot of crossover in our target audiences. in response to your second question. Do you honestly think I would tell you... a goon on the internet whom I don't know. And the devastating consequences following that leak. Do you really think I would risk my perfect job, my perfect life, and my real doll replica of Dan Harmon for a cheap thrill of leaking such sensitive and titillating information. gosh buddy. let me introduce you to something called Delayed gratification. or do you even edge bro?

He's been good on Harmontown, although they once wanted to spend some time goofing on him for his rampant Tinder spree and they never got around to it. I was looking forward to that. :(

Sorry, I thought it was clearly tongue in cheek.

I don't edge either :(

Another question, why do shows film at 23.999, or 29.999 or in this case 59.999 frames instead of just adding that one extra frame? It seems almost universal.

Edit: One last question. Has Alex Hirsch ever stopped by, I guess he's buddies with the R&M guys. Is he as perfect and amazing as he is in my fantasies? What does he hair smell like? I bet it smells great.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

Look at it this way: an entire episode of South Park, from conception to final airing form, takes one week to produce. Rick and Morty is at least 10 times as good as South Park. Therefor, each episode should take 10 weeks to produce, and a season should take several years!
