SymfonyMan posted:Well take heart then because I can't imagine this not getting a season 2. Word of mouth should spread pretty soon. Thanks for answering the animation question too. Glad to see I made a good choice to switch from Flash since the coloring in Rick and Morty is great. The pupils in their eyes kind of drive me nuts though! I really love this show, and I think it's great example of how both writing and art in animation can work together to create something hilarious, but I agree about the pupils. Something is very unsettling about them. Is there a reason for their odd design? Also, not that I'm complaining, but, does anyone know why Adult Swim is posting these on YouTube? I can understand having their content up on their own site, or the first episode on YouTube, but having the whole season up with no commercials seems kind of unorthodox, even for a network like Adult Swim.

I love the Meeseeks saying their catchphrase in the heat of an argument. They're just compelled to do it.

Somehow, this show outdid the deeply disturbing attempted rape scene in the span of a week. Rick & Morty's probably the best show on TV right now.

PassTheRemote posted:It's really cool, but they've already had a number of crossover eps this season with Family Guy and with Futurama. This really reeks of desperation and "Look, we're still relevant". So if they avoid mentioning "in" things, they're irrelevant, and if they do so they're "desperate"? If desperation makes things as funny as the Rick & Morty couch gag, then all shows should be that desperate. That was great. What's great about Rick & Morty is the premise is so malleable that it can do ridiculous crossovers like this (and the upcoming Dota one), and they don't clash with the show's established rules at all. I kind of want to see both of them barge into other fictional worlds now. Nichael fucked around with this message at 05:28 on May 15, 2015 |

Irish Joe posted:Its clear they're trying to make the shows seem emotionally deep, but honestly, I felt the pathos was unearned. I think the show is close to earning it, but missing in small ways. For example, I don't know if I totally buy Rick's affection for Morty in the premiere as it seems a little of out of left field. Likewise the concern he shows for his grandchildren in the newly leaked episode was surprising, and the argument between Beth and Jerry was kind of awkwardly expository. That's not to say that these first three episodes aren't good; they've been really funny and entertaining, with some room for improvement in the domain of earning these "emotionally deep" moments. Considering Dino Stamatopoulos' relationship with Rick & Morty (through Starburns) and Dan Harmon, I really think the show's staff should look to Moral Orel for how to turn something that on the surface is very silly and funny into something dark and poignant.

Typical posted:ayyye. thats my bug drawing. Hazo posted:Can you go into a little detail about how you all eventually settle on a design? Does the prop team sit down and vote? Does the art supervisor choose? Does Dan walk in and pick one like how George Lucas wanders into a room and points at the model he wants? All those timeline detecting devices are really interesting and cool so how do you decide on the one that's used? Were there any factors about specific ones that made them clash with the show's design? For instance, I would imagine Rick's devices can't look too polished or professional, but then again, I obviously don't work on the show.

I left the dorkiest message possible, and asked Justin to add me on Steam, and Dan to do another live HarmonTown in Philly or NYC. I hope by some slim chance Justin adds me so I can play something with him and hear Rick berate me live. The bug soldiers were from the pilot right? And weren't some of the aliens, such as the newscasters, Andy Daly's character's species? Killing off Daly's character was probably the worst thing in the season; it was a total waste of potential for future cameos. Also, did no one notice that the guest stars were Battlestar Galactica's James Callis and Tricia Helfer? Callis was definitely Tammy's dad, and Helfer was almost certainly the anti-depressant bot. It'd make sense if Helfer was Tammy's mom too, but I don't think she was. Nichael fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Oct 5, 2015 |

Broken Loose posted:Were Tammy's parents played by Gaius Baltar and Caprica 6? I thought she only did the anti-depressant bot, either though it would make a lot more sense for her to have voiced James Callis' character's wife. Tammy's mom didn't sound that much like her, but she easily could've just been doing a different voice since that's what voice acting is...

Zaphod42 posted:Yep, that one caught me by surprise recently too. I wonder if it was like the quick line Rick says about Annie's "puffy vagina", which Harmon and Roiland said they added expecting the censors to take it out, but they didn't. Adult Swim generally has very lax content standards for its productions. I really doubt they run into many objections from the network. There's a 2012 interview with Eric Andre where he said one of the only notes he ever got from the network was that he could show himself making GBS threads so hard that his organs fell out, but could not seem like he was intentionally making GBS threads them out. Edit: I found it. Apparently Adult Swim doesn't like him mocking Jesus or committing suicide either. Generally though, they don't seem to care.
