Rick And Murty Analysis
The community of the popular adult cartoon on Adult Swim, Rick and Morty, is an incredibly unique one, filled with seemingly infinite theories of AUs (Alternative Universes), canon characters (different or similar character in an original plot), and the events from which they originate. The discussions are vast, but they all originate from similar observations, and beliefs that are favored by the fandom, portrayed in the saturation of sketches, doodles, and fanfictions, specifically on Tumblr, and Devart. The Tumblr community is one the prominent sites for Rick and Morty, totaling more than 100 subcategories, and attracts a variety of people, and professions.

The innocence shrouded in the design of Rick and Morty, and it's completely polar storyline, is the most appealing factor for viewers. It is somewhat symbolic, indicating a deeper meaning behind it’s exterior. A first-time viewer of the show would be presented with it’s seemingly cartoonish introduction, and a storyline that most likely begins as any other cartoon would, a few inappropriate jokes, weird adventures, and some dark humor. Perfectly normal, right? Well, not exactly. The show may require the viewer to watch it more than once to understand some of the subliminal messages, and catchphrases, the most famous being one of Rick’s common catchphrases, “Wubbalubbadubdub”,

As it is stated in the beginning of the series, “Ricks don’t care about Mortys”, however, it becomes apparent this Rick is an exception. Although Mortys’ original purpose is solely to cancel out their Rick’s brainwaves, so they won’t be discovered by the intergalactic federation, he is the only Rick to ever genuinely care about his grandson. So far, this claim has held true, as Rick shows a willingness to abandon, or swap the rest of his family members, especially Jerry (Beth’s husband), whom he passionately despises, because of his idiotic, and wimpy

    As previously stated, the nature of content analysis forbids causation or generalizations of findings in terms of effects. As such, these findings may not be applicable to other shows on air. Given the wide range of pace and content of the shows sampled, it seems unlikely that generalizing to other shows in any capacity would yield consistent, significant results. In short, the formal and content features of the four shows examined here are not indicative of the features of other popular animated programs on…

    All the news we hear, whether it’s on television, in class or even a conversation will always have conflicting and different beliefs, theories and responses. For example last night my husband and I were watching the premier of “Angry Boys” a mockumentary by Chris Lilley. He described the series to be a comment on "what it means to be a boy in the 21st century by putting representations of the male of the species under the microscope." To me the program sounded intellectual when in fact it consisted of a variety of comedic representations ranging from the racist “Gran”, a juvenile prison officer to Nathan and Daniel” identical twins (one of whom is deaf). As we sat on the lounge watching the program our laughter peeled from the room in tandem to each other; we didn’t agree on what was or wasn’t humorous.…

    For example, when Rick repeats his non-committal, cold, tough guy stance to an offended customer, "I stick my neck out for nobody," it is viewed as an outlaw hero characteristic. He appears to be the dangerous man from a gangster movie, but still promise the "safety and comfort" an official outlaw portrays. With Ilsa back into his life, he helps his love and her husband leave Casablanca at the end. He sacrifices his love to save her from being endangered from the law. Ironically, Rick is a man who once fought in war, yet he still remains neutral with others. He allows equal status with individuals. A war is going on between the German and the French, but he doesn't take any of their side. After tragically losing the love of his life the first time, Rick ceased to show any political involvement or any strong political beliefs and began to worry only about his own well-being. Being an outlaw, Rick's character can't…

    Mark Bauerlain, in his book The Dumbest Generation, claims that the current under thirty generation is the “dumbest” in modern history, citing the fact that they “don’t know anything” (Bauerlain). Yet the under thirty generation has revolutionized social and linguistic conventions at a rate unmatched by all save for the Ancient Greeks, have grown up in an intelligence-centered culture, and, older people have been complaining about the ‘shortcomings’ of the younger generations for centuries. The facts don’t support Bauerlain - his claims that young people are “dumber” are completely unfounded and radiate an aura of elderly bitterness. Millenials are in the midst of transforming society and language at a breakneck pace, “the likes of which haven’t been seen since Greek civilization” (Clive). Young people “write far more than any generation before”, and have created “new forms of expression and rules for social behavior” (Ito, Clive).…

    For this compare and contrast essay I will be comparing and contrasting “Franny and Zooey” by J.D. Salinger and “Drake and Josh” from Nickelodeon.

    “Love is how you stay alive” (Albom 133). This was a quote in Tuesdays with Morrie. It was one of many that I made connections with people in my own life. People that I have looked up to for wisdom and relief that everything is going to be okay. Morrie was a man with good morals, and he believed that people need to devote themselves to their community and their self in order to have a meaning of life. Throughout the book, I believed the theme was about knowing what is important and learn to love one another.…

    The basis of the show is on four children that live in a small fictitious Colorado town called South Park. The central characters are four eight-year-old boys that hang around the town in a manner reminiscent of the central characters in the play Waiting for Godot [1], only crasser. The boys are thrust into situations that usually revolve around current news events that are popular in the media. It is the shocking, and usually inappropriate, reactions of the boys and the adults around them to these situations that are the cornerstone of this ideological show.…

    Response To Casablanca

    The Pearl Harbor bombing was such a huge part of our role in World War II, and since Rick represents America, I knew he would have his own Pearl Harbor. Sure enough, Ilsa came back into Rick’s life and was his very own “Pearl Harbor”. It was very easy to pick up on this symbolism because Rick saw her and his attitude completely changed. This was another one of the best representations in the movie. It worked so well because it was so similar to what happened to our country and how we handled the situation afterward. Rick sat down with Ilsa and Victor to have a drink which he had never done before. To me this was a sign that Rick was suddenly changing his ways. This single event changed everything, just like the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This help the audience understand the situation a little…

    Owen Meany Analysis

    “It was a hymn that Owen liked, and we belted it out; we sang much more heartily-much more defiantly-than usual. The headmaster had nowhere to stand; he occupied the center stage- but with nothing to stand behind, he looked exposed and unsure of himself. As we roared out the hymn, the Rev. Lewis Merrill appeared to gain in confidence-and even in stature. Although he didn't look exactly comfortable beside the headless Mary Magdalene, he stood so close to her that the podium light shone on him, too. When we finished the hymn, the Rev. Mr. Merrill said: "Let us pray. Let us pray for Owen Meany," he said.” (415)…

    • 7 Pages

    Cartoons have been use for many years and its modern usage refers to a typically non-realistic or semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for satire, caricature, or mock different things. John Backderf, known as Derf, is a famous and recognized cartoonist “who works out of an unheated, attic studio in his Cleveland home, grew up in a rural, small town in Ohio and went to high school with serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer” (“Bio”). He drew a cartoon in 1995 in which he presents an implicit theory about how and why things evolve to be “cool”. This paper will elaborate on explaining what Derf’s theory actually is, an interpretation of the meaning presented in the cartoon, and a fad or style that follows Derf’s theory.…

    To sway opinions or target certain audiences, authors often use written humor as a means to convey their argument. Artists and designers behind visual statements such as magazine advertisements or posters frequently use the same method. Political cartoons are a popular way of expressing opinions about current events and dissatisfaction with governing officials. The ever growing abortion debate is the subject of Jim McCloskey’s cartoon making fun of pro-choice activists, and Mike Luckovich’s cartoon mocking pro-life advocates’ views. While McCloskey relies heavily on emotional appeal, and Luckovich uses strong exaggeration, both artists appeal to cultural values, albeit different ones. Given their clever use of these methods, McCloskey and Luckovich both efficiently appeal to their audiences.…

I have chosen to analyze a chat room that is devoted to the hit Fox reality show, American Idol. The transcript used was from a chat session that occurred at 10:00 PM on March 27, 2005. This online chat room seemed to be the source of a continuous flow of opinionated statements regarding the television show.…
