Imagine Blitz' post only instead of casually suggesting you might like it, greatly insisting you will like it, no question and if you don't, there is something wrong with you.Mel Mudkiper posted:Did you ever see the rejected Korean pilot? Even the version that did air is... quite something.

For example, Virgil Texas posted this from the rick and morty wiki (why)

If someone says "x fans are truly awful" I think to myself "are they as bad as bronies?" And realize the answer is no, and believe it can't be bad. This is probably a bad way to answer the question.

I don't have it anymore. But I can remember a few vague details... - Only one celebrity guest voice per season. And they cannot play themselves. - The Simpsons cannot leave the United States, ever. They're a blue collar family, blue collar families don't travel to Europe, or South America or Australia. In fact, don't even leave Springfield for a few seasons until that right is earned again. - Lisa and Bart are not mini adults. - Marge is supposed to be the straight man, not the doorstop. - The Simpson family should not be celebrities in their own home town. - Homer Simpson has a goddamn workplace and a job. Show it. - When you have a visual joke ( physical gag, sign gag, etc) you don't need to show it for ten seconds. I dunno, there was a lot of thought put into each one at the time.

He keeps bringing up the Boston episode from a year or two back and saying I should see it because it skewers the Patriots a bunch. ... Despite them having done that already in an episode from 2005.

I'll watch it on FX so I occasionally see newer episodes. Some are good, some aren't. There was a great 9/11 joke that I never expected and found real funny.

Of course nobody is visiting. The only time I even think about visiting sites like that is when I'm jacking it at work. I am sure I'm not alone.

Who goes to the big sports sites anymore anyway? They offer no real valuable insight unless you're a super casual fan.

Rick and Morty owns. A lot of possibly literally  latched on to it on the internet because of course they did, but who cares because everything is like that on the internet.It's a great show if you don't mind humor based on obscene cartoon gore, alien sexbots spermjackin' from adolescent boys, existentialism and Mr Poopybutthole's crippling painkiller addiction.. OK so that's not the best pitch in the world I admit.

Who would have thought that people would rather quickly read an article than sit through two ads to watch a video that takes 4-5 minutes to get to the point.

So in theory you can easily drop millions of views and make more money, especially since you aren't paying all of those useless writers creating actual content. Probably not that many millions of views though.
