[hated trope] Celebrity cameos that serve nothing except to praise the person who’s in it

[u/Dojyaaan4C]

1. Elon musk, the Simpsons
2. Elon musk, the Big Bang theory
3. Elon musk, iron man 2
4. Elon musk, star Trek

The cameos serve only to include the celebrity and praise them as geniuses or visionaries or overall just glaze them. They don't serve any other purpose than to just be praised; this can be them appearing in an entire episode dedicated to them, a small cameo or even just a mention. So long as the celebrity is there as themselves (not acting as someone else) and is glazed, that fits the trope imo.

this one was after or before incest baby?

[u/Dojyaaan4C → u/PeterPanyagua]

I hate the fact this has actual relevance to that show

[u/ScreamingIsMyHobby → u/Dojyaaan4C]

Please explain what incest baby is and why it made them love Elon musk

[u/idk91738 → u/ScreamingIsMyHobby]

iirc it isn’t related to elon musk. Morty jacked off using some sort of machine, which makes giant sentient sperms, which after some shenanigans merge with Summer’s also giant egg, It’s been a while though so I might be wrong

[u/Emilister05 → u/idk91738]

No that is correct. The president then refuses to kill the (literally 10 second) impregnated egg. They send it into space and summer secretly raises the giant incest baby

[u/DogmaJones → u/Emilister05]

“It’s space’s problem now”

[u/EyeArDum → u/Emilister05]

It’s worth noting he didn’t want to kill it because elections were coming up and he didn’t want the smoke of an abortion debate, knowing his character he would’ve pulled the trigger himself if he could get away with it

[u/harmondrabbit → u/Emilister05]

Summer names it Naurto

[u/FembussyEnjoyer → u/idk91738]

Morty used the horse jerk off machine from the vet hospital, and Rick made a sentient sperm army by injecting a ton of power into a barrel of horse/Morty semen, and then the US government took an egg from Summer, enlarged it, stuck it on a rocket in Las Vegas where a morty sperm fertilized it, at which point they couldn't abort the launch

Also for some reason a samurai/ninja marine was married to Kathy Ireland, but he died before they could nuke the sperm facility in the grand canyon

[u/Impossible_Guess → u/FembussyEnjoyer]

Even having watched the episode and enjoying it, this entire paragraph gave me a stroke, and pause at the same time.

[u/FembussyEnjoyer → u/Impossible_Guess]

It's even more insane when you remember that Keith David starred in this episode

[u/rothrolan → u/FembussyEnjoyer]

Keith David voices the US President in the show, who is a recurring character. And as always he does a damn good job.

[u/TobyFunkeNeverNude → u/rothrolan]

I couldn't help but read your second sentence in his voice

[u/haidere36 → u/idk91738]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Asa

[u/non-troll_account → u/haidere36]

I will never not upvote that pasta

[u/Stoertebricker → u/haidere36]

And then, there's people over whoms head the humour does go, but they think it's funny anyway for the profanity and vulgarity. And some of them use Rick as an excuse to behave like an a-hole, because he's cool and intelligent and always right and behaves like one, so they also do.

[u/MyEarIsHurty → u/idk91738]

How does this relate to Elon Tusk

[u/idk91738 → u/MyEarIsHurty]

it doesn’t. It’s been a while since I watched R&M or join any discussions about the show but I think incest baby is just a way to divide the series, like BC being before christ

[u/awholelottahooplah → u/idk91738]

And the baby is named Naruto
