  To pay homage to the Boston Aqua Teen scare, the inevitable Smiling Friends Movie should be promoted by flyers warning people not to go to school tomorrow

  I &quot;worked&quot; for apple (read: apple contracted site) when they did the U2 drop. People were pissed. I remember one lady who called in and said she wanted the &quot;homosexuals&quot; off her phone.

  The funniest thing about the aqua teen hunger force hoax was that some poor 50 year old man probably had to stay up late to watch the show and understand what it was about to write the news report.

  The aqua teen one is so fitting. The Mooninites are canonically lame, but think they are evil incarnate super geniuses. At one time they send out a beeping square that looks lame like usual but nukes everything. People thought this was some sinister plot but it was stupid lights, it looked lame but it nuked CN.

  The craziest thing to me about the Mooninite Bomb Scare is that it happened six years BEFORE the Boston marathon bombing. &nbsp;If it had been after, I could <b>maybe</b> understand why the city was so up in arms, but the fact it was long before makes it ridiculous.

  The biggest karma moment the Rick and Morty fans had is the fact that Smiling Friends is now the most popular Adult Swim show and whenever people talk about Rick &amp; Morty is about the Schezuan Sauce incident, the copypasta, the IM PICKLE RICK video, Justin Roilands allegations and how R&amp;M is the embodiment of Reddit

  “It’s like a nut you can play with outside” How the f*** did that glorious line escape from the drawing board without anyone questioning it

  MagicMush forcing me to rewatch the Pickle Rick guy from 2017 was like fifteen 9/11s

  The guy at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ2ofMrQPXw&amp;t=1444">24:04</a> was extremely important for me personally. It made me realize that just because you’re acting like an idiot iRoNiCAlLy doesn’t make you any less of an idiot to everyone else around you.

  Important note for the U2 Album, it wasn’t for Apple Music users, as Apple Music didn’t exist until 2015. It was all 500 million iTunes users. Basically, if you had an Apple ID/iTunes account, you now owned the album.

  City of Boston: &quot;I&apos;m sorry Cartoon Network, but a few of our citizens baselessly assumed your Light Brites of cartoon characters shaped like Atari graphics were bombs rather than the obvious decorative light-up display advertising pieces they actually were and this lead to a huge chain of bad decisions on the part of many, many people which cost us a lot of money and so this is all clearly your fault for trying to scare us with fake bomb threats or something I guess so cover our costs or go to jail.&quot;
