wtf I've never seen the internet turn on a show as fast as R&M. the stuffty cancerous anti-R&M circlejerk just took over the internet in the last 1-2 weeks. I've legit never met an annoying R&M fan (tho I only know a few) and none of them have ever had anything even remotely resembling the copypastas. tbh at this point the counter-circlejerk is a lot more cringey than the supposed fans who think they're rick... since the former actually exist. anyway its an example of stuffty hive mentality and anyone who joined in on the anti-r&m circlejerk should feel bad because they're a handicap who gives in to peer pressure too easily.
personally I like the show, but I'm not a big fan. really hit & miss though. like 50% of the episodes are not worth watching and the other half are pretty great. I'm not sure where the idea that people watch it thinking it's like "smart people tv" came from. It's just funny? I always thought it was one of the universally funny shows where pretty much anyone would like it.
oh yea, the szechuan sauce joke was pretty but who the forget is willing to eat at a mcdonalds just to try that stuff. like the joke is that it's a really random sauce from 1998. I've legit never eaten at a mcdonalds (and I couldnt eat chicken nuggets anyway) and I have zero inclination to go try that sauce
