No, The Producers of “Rick and Morty” Haven’t Leaked Any Ideas For Season Five

Let’s nip this one right in the butt.

To be honest, I was trying to avoid this post by any means necessary. When I saw Dan Harmon’s pics on Instagram featuring a bunch of Rob Schrab-produced sticky notes “teasing” story ideas for Rick and Morty Season Five. I thought, “clearly these ‘grams are in jest, there’s not a chance anyone is going to buy these posts as legit, right?” As anyone truthfully infused with THAT much dumbfuckery that they actually believed those posts? For the most part, the lead up to Rick and Morty Season Four has been way more normal than the absolute ridiculousness that was the show’s third season, and we’re all happy for it. Granted, a lot of this could’ve been as a result of the 1% of the mentally disturbed viewers for Rick and Morty focused more on Game of Thrones and Marvel movies thereby allowing the Adult Swim series to fly under the radar. But, here we are three days after the show co-creator posts pics like this and this, we get this:

Let’s clear a few things up. If a half of one percent of those Rob Schrab “ideas” get through the writer’s room completely unscathed, I’ll die of shock. The producers know the negative side effects of driving the internet nuts with silly memes and they probably don’t want a repeat of that. Also, anyone that watched the “Pickle Rick” special features on the Rick and Morty Season Three home release knows that full episode writes are completed, then trashed, in favor of new episode writes. That Starburns room is a bunch of assassins, and from a legal sense wouldn’t be able to use any of those posted ideas anyway because now they are public domain. That’s why they got ordered 70 episodes, ten of which are done and ready to be shipped this November. Next, all of the editors for those click-baity titles you see above should be fired, most notably whoever the fuck works at Collider who really thinks you use an “&” in the title of Rick and Morty.

Finally, the internet has to come to the most startling conclusion as of yet. Maybe the most important piece of information as you work on dispelling any notion that the notes on Harmon’s Instagram will lead to your next Emmy winners. That if you, the internet, were to buy that cowboy bullshit, you would absolutely be branded with a “Schrabbed” nameplate. Because the question posed by the originators of the aforementioned Insta posts is, is the internet dumb fuck enough to fall for this? The answer is, almost yes. In the meantime, keep it locked here folks, we’ve been covering Rick and Morty longer than anyone.
