If adult swim is known for anything it’s canceling their hit tv shows. You know how early Hollywood had a rural purge, if Rick and morty is canned I’m going to call the period from when they canceled metalocylipse to Rick and morty the dudebro purge.

        That and Moral Oral wouldn't have gotten canceled for the last season not being funny

        It wasn't supposed to be funny, it was a god damned work of art

      That's a really good comparison. Everyone in Venture Brothers was either pathetic or an asshole or both, but it had a very humanistic quality. Like there was a lot of pathos in the mix.

      Whereas Rick and Morty is just one of the meanest, most misanthropic, nihilistic shows I've ever seen. Just constantly mocking people for feeling or caring about anything.

        So that is to say it's the perfect pairing for these extremely online times.

        I kept getting the vibe of characters being white losers that fail upwards that we're supposed to be sympathetic for. Really love that show, but every now and then I get that vibe.
