"We just Cronenberged the place up. Whole planet of Cronenbergs."

Something about the use of Cronenberg as both noun and verb tickled me.

And then Cronenberg Rick and Morty show up and they also, somehow, use "Cronenberg" in the appropriate context.

My favorite part of that episode is how much of Rick's personality is clearly built into the ship. The ship could have totally kept Summer safe without killing that unarmed dude who almost certainly couldn't have broken into the ship to assault her, but it did because that was just the quickest and most "Rick" solution. Then the ship gets annoyed when Summer is placing restrictions on it, despite getting them into the situation they were in to begin with.

The dead kid clone is also a particularly dark throwaway that just screams "Roiland". Actually that is probably the B-Plot I've enjoyed the most and I hope we get a nice buddy cop episode of Mitty and the ship in space next season.

Roiland is a full out libertarian shock comic. He makes a funny cartoon but most likely has terrible views and is unpleasant to be around. Oh well.

Nah actually he is fun to be around. he's good at improve. I had a very good time with him and alex hirsch at comic con, and i genuinely like working with him and getting art direction. its rare as an artist that a client will give you specific direction thats clear and concise ideas and translates visually. Justin is good at that.

I also like hanging out with Dan, but he doesn't give you much room to talk if you are not as good at improve as him. I also have awkward moments with him in the kitchen when he is microwaving his lunch and doesn't make much eye contact.

Honestly I've always really liked both those guys since their 101 days and feel silly thinking less of them because of twitter politics or what ever. I could see how either of them could really rub certain people the wrong way, but I'll never meet let alone have to work with either so who cares.

Also I love live improv and have a lot of respect for it. Sometimes it's fantastic, sometimes it's not so great. That's what I liked about a lot of 101 stuff is that it had that improvisational feel. They had like a week to shoot some funny poo poo between their day jobs and screen it in front of a brutal audience who will cancel their rear end the moment the joke was played out. Rick and morty is polished and great but it still has that improvisational feel at times, I can still feel some of that channel 101 energy or what ever.

Dan's self-inserts? No, not really. Winger was only half of Dan -- the other half was Britta (politics, baggles). And Dan is much more Rick than Jerry. Jerry is a douche, whereas Rick is a drunk angry dude who's mad that everybody likes Inception so much.

All of Dan's characters are self inserts to some degree. I think they kind of alluded to that in that R&M episode when Unity was controlling all of the characters from Community.

There was some interview where he was asked which character he identified with the most and he instantly went with Jerry because they're both neurotic and insecure and pathetic.
