| − | |This adult animated series, whose titular characters are respective ludicrous caricatures of Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and Marty McFly from the mostly conservative film ''Back to the Future'', is popular among liberals for trying to pass a dysfunctional, atheistic family with a vulgar, drug-addicted, pansexual, [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] grandfather (Rick) as humorous. Worse yet, the series' volatile fanbase is widely known for stirring up such controversies as rampaging en masse through various [[McDonald's]] restaurants in search of Szechuan sauce as if to imitate an example of Rick's unruly, disorderly behavior: he seeks to claim the sauce in the episode "The Rickshank Redemption" by traveling back to 1998 when Disney released its [[China]]-set animated feature ''[[Mulan]]'' and McDonald's sold packets of Szechuan sauce with regular purchases as a cross-promotion of the film. | + | |This adult animated series, whose titular characters were based on respective ludicrous caricatures of Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown and Marty McFly from the mostly conservative film ''Back to the Future'' (but soon grew into their own characters), is popular among liberals and atheist, Reddit-registered techno-libertarians alike for trying to pass a dysfunctional, atheistic family with a vulgar, drug-addicted, pansexual, [[alcoholism|alcoholic]] grandfather (Rick) as humorous. Worse yet, the series' volatile, fanatical fanbase is widely known for stirring up such controversies as rampaging en masse through various [[McDonald's]] restaurants in search of Szechuan sauce as if to imitate an example of Rick's unruly, disorderly behavior, which prompted several calls to local police departments, wasting tax payer monies: he seeks to claim the sauce in the episode "The Rickshank Redemption" by traveling back to 1998 when Disney released its [[China]]-set animated feature ''[[Mulan]]'' and McDonald's sold packets of Szechuan sauce with regular purchases as a cross-promotion of the film. Many of the science fiction elements of the show seem to contradict portions of Christian cosmology, such as interdimensional travel, allowing sinners to avoid the logical consequences of their actions. The institutions of marriage and pregnancy are not given the sacred coverage they deserve either. |
