    It’s pretty amazing that Rick and Morty has managed to go on for years now without Justin Roiland. This pretty much solidifies Dan Harmon as the heart of the show (as many suspected) and, with Community in his curriculum, a pretty good comedic writer
    Though the show did get extremely weird with the sex stuff, why is Jerry talking about watching porn in front of his kids?

      There’s been one season without Justin…?

      And honestly, he just wasn’t as big of a deal to the show as people think. He being the voices netted him a creator credit, and I’m sure he gave Harmon ideas, but I’m gonna 100% stand behind Harmon being the creative force which made the show so popular, not the silly voices or absurdist ball gags (some of which would’ve been Harmon’s obviously).

      The show was plenty weird well before Justin left, but yeah, Harmon probably is responsible for the majority of the incest jokes.

      How do I know this?

      Oh idk… Dan Harmon on Incest Porn - Harmontown

          Me too buddy.

          Nothing like listening to Dan get properly wasted on vodka and talking about some serious shit.

          I had the sub to Harmontown at one point years ago.

            Honestly that made me realize that he’s a really, genuinely funny guy. From the outside you may think “yeah his shows have good jokes cause there’s a whole team in the writing room and they can rewrite a scene until it’s a banger” but then you hear him improv 20 minutes of MC non-binary chicken or some moronic shit, while drunk out of his mind, and it just fucking works.

            He also came off as a pathologically sincere person, which is a trait i like a lot. There was this borderline me-too story between him and one of his assistants, and he was so sincerely apologetic in his response that the victim basically praised him for apologizing right…

            Kids, take a look at this fat alcoholic narcissistic piece of junk cause he may teach you what it means to be a man.
