Mark Linsenmayer, Erica Spyres, and Brian Hirt address the 4-season 2013 Adult Swim show, which currently has a 94% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. What kind of humor is it, and how are we supposed to take its sci-fi and family drama parts? While its concepts start as parody, with an anything-goes style of living, they’re imaginative and anchored enough to actually contribute to multiple categories. How smart-alecky is the show, exactly? And its devotees? Is Rick a super superstar, or maybe essentially Dr. Who? What might this very serialized sit-com look like in longevity?
We likewise touch on other adult parodies like South Park, Solar Opposites, The Simpsons, Family Guy, plus Community, Scrubs, and more.
