I love Futurama, but not Rick and Morty. Don't get me wrong, I like R&M plenty, it's fun & fast-paced and I never missed an episode. But it's not worth the repeat viewing love from me as Futurama does. The characters in R&M are just not as relatable to me.

I wouldn't judge it based on this new episode, but previous seasons (especially 2 & 3) were entertaining. It's formulaic, so lost it's shock-factor, but there are some long-term character development as well.

I couldn't get into the series in the past like its first episode. Would I like it now?

kinda reminds me of the "airplane on a conveyor belt" Mythbusters episode.

@newtboy just fyi, maroon, i recently learned is a racial epithet.

I believe I learned the term from Bugs Bunny "What a maroon!"

But https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maroons apparently it's just another way to make fun of people with a lot of pigment in their skin. I only realized this when I heard it used as an actual insult. "Fuckin maroon." This is, consequently why maroon as a color is brownish/redish (to resemble the skin of the people that are on lonely islands aka people who have been "marooned")


I have no doubt that you didn't know this ahead of time, but just know it going forward. I don't think that's what you meant, and you wouldn't want to be misunderstood.

EDIT See also, art like this statue titled "Maroons surprised by dogs" (1893) (Brussels) by Louis Samain. Note the fetters on the hands and feet: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/ff/Wikibruz23.jpg (Pretty fucked up eh?)

EDIT 2 I think I also know the word from various TV show episode titles that are some version of "Marooned" when people become stranded.

==============================

EDIT 3 Oh yeah, and this dumbass. What did she think would happen? She didn't "Just walk in" she wore a disguise elaborate enough she filmed her "setup" that took long enough that it required montage-like speed in post. Not to mention she had to use her daughter's school id to get in.

Going through a makeover/disguise
Learning and following your daughter's schedule
Using your daughter's student ID

DOES NOT = just walking in

I suspected that this must have been a Deep Fake but, no: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rudy-giuliani-mypillow-ad_n_60b9ed8ae4b001ebd4704692?ri18n=true And during an episode on UFOs. Bedtime for democracy.

I still think about that Simpson's episode with the "In Memory of a Real Tree" gag, and we get closer to it becoming real every day.

This show was a hidden gem when it first aired, but nobody ever seems to have heard of it and full episodes are hard to find. Glad to see it coming back around in the golden age of sketch comedy!

You can legitimately hate them because you don't like Top Gear or rich people. But here, May is just pointing out a very stupid design flaw. Calling a mechanic won't make the problem go away. He spent an hour looking into the problem, and it's an education for fellow Tesla owners. Is that a crime?

I guest that Tesla Roadster episode especially pissed you off? They're petrolheads, of course they bash the Roadster in those early days of EV to justify the V8 and V12s for their vroom vroom thrills. It's called TV antics (deceptive? Yes). Most have come around to recognize EV is the future. You think every races/segments in Top Gear are unscripted? Come on... Top Gear's been just pure entertainment and no reporting every since Clarkson took over the rein.

Only funny thing in the entire dismal episode.

I'm confused by the length of this. They're not exactly cracking jokes regularly, so why make it nearly as long as an episode? I could understand the video needing to be this long if it were someone actually playing through a game, but it seems to just be a really long pixel animation. Certainly well done, but I'm not going to watch 17 minutes of it...

I'm upvoting, but am not going to watch this trailer - I want to know as little going into it as possible. S1 absolutely rocked, with the episode Zima Blue in particular making an impression on me.

Now if they can just get it to shoot poison darts it would make a good Black Mirror episode. Or maybe laaazers.

That's amazing. Does every culture have a food like this? Totally "ok" as long as you grew up with it, but to anyone less acculturated--just too much?
The guys try durian in one episode lol--The Asian tree fruit--"Tastes like heaven, smells like hell"--or more accurately, rancid cat poop.

In case anyone else was curious like myself and lacks a cable subscription: new episodes show up on HBO Max within 24 hours of airing. I'm looking forward to this one!
