The whole "Pickle Rick" thing hasn't been around that long.

That's a pretty short regret cycle.

Do you think they're getting rid of it because they realized the fandom was toxic and they shouldn't have a badge representing it, or is it because they got mocked relentlessly by their family and friends for having a loving Pickle Rick tattoo?

sucks to be right
People went NUTS over Pickle Rick when Adult Swim aired the season trailer/animatics sneaks peeks starting from mid 2016 and they were making all sorts of fan art and homemade action figures and getting tattoos but then when the season actually aired and people discovered that the production company had introduced several :females: to the writing team a whoooooole bunch of them did an about face and started hating on the show, especially when they discovered that the Picke Rick episode ended with a scene where the family goes to therapy and a female psychologist gets the better of Rick.


Edit: but yeah, it's very very likely that the whole szechuan sauce fiasco made them embarrassed to be publicly identified as a R&M fan

A freshly rolled blunt would probably be moist enough to conduct a stun gun zap. I can't imagine how loving horrible it would be to get tased on the lips.

Stun guns don't hurt you after they're no longer zapping, and the only paralysis from one of those to the face would be from shock or :monocle: faking it

I want to believe they aren't getting tattoo removal for that reason.
S3 really wasn't great though and at the same time the toxicity of the fanbase has rocketed like nothing I remember.

Here's some science and some funny to make up for it. All timestamped.

Tasers are for pain compliance:

Exactly.

Liked the show tons better when they stuck to weird-rear end science poo poo, not melodramatic family squabbles. It was so dumb and absolutely tanked the show whenever it came up past a one-off joke in the occasional episode.

The Citadel episode and the memories episode we're both after Pickle Rick, and they were the best of the season. All the stupidity surrounding Pickle Rick and the Szechuan incident was painful to watch, but it's still a fun show.

I wonder how much money I could make at cons selling "Fandom ruins everything" t-shirts.

It is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
They didn't get any money from McDonald's though - in fact the whole McDonald's szechuan promotion really carefully avoided mentioning any official tie in with the show.
