    I'm reading what you're saying, but even while I don't particularly agree with the video's premise and I don't identify with "metamodernism," Rick and Morty just seems so irony poisoned in its own premise that it "cures" the poisoning just to inflict more poisoning because that would be extra poisonous irony which is totally funnier and smarter for real guys. I'd rather just not run that race than try to keep up with Justin Roiland in a drug fueled sprint, with one of his hands busy jerking himself off about how subversive and smart he thinks he is while the other hand is creep texting children and then sending racial slurs their way if they turn down his advances. :libertarian-alert:

    I think "metamodernism" is too shifty in its own positions to really stand for anything in particular, so that's why I said "at least dunking on Rick and Morty's fandom would be a solid premise with solid examples" compared to whatever the video was trying to do.
