Dan Harmon, one of the writers of the beloved sci-fi cartoon, Rick and Morty, has a lot of explaining to do after a "sickening" video of him resurfaced...
Rick and Morty is a phenomenon in it's own right.
Written by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, the adult cartoon has skyrocketed to small-screen stardom...
But, recently, people have found the whole show as somewhat problematic after the antics of the writers have been slowly coming to light.Dan Harmon, in particular, has a lot of explaining to do...
Now, this is a huge development...
The cartoon follows the intergalactic antics of an eccentric (and alcoholic) mad scientist, Rick...
And his ever-so-anxious grandson, Morty.After having been missing for nearly twenty years, Rick arrives at daughter Beth's doorstep unannounced...
Much to Beth's husband's disapproval, Rick moves into the family home - and soon after embarks on ridiculous sci-fi adventures through time and space with his fourteen-year-old grandson, all while trying to balance conventional life.As they explore distant universes, the duo find themselves in the midst mayhem and disaster...
From parasite infestations and to battling a weird rendition of Freddie Krueger to pickle Rick and of course, Mr. Meeseeks, the show hasn't fallen short of "what the hell" moments - but that's why we all love it so much.The show has firmly held near-universal critical acclaim.
Many put its profound success down to its wacky yet insanely clever writing style...
Rick and Morty has been hailed as one of the funniest and ingenious shows on TV right now, which many put down to the perfect blend of mind-bogglingly iconic plotlines and its unique ability to fuse together moments of tragedy and sheer hilarity.Its worldwide acclaim has seen the smash-hit animation get 3 seasons under its belt.
No one knew when (or if) it would ever come out.
So, of course...
People were delighted when the fourth season hit our screens.However, despite the show's overwhelmingly loyal fan base...
Shortly after the 4th season aired, people slammed the show for making a 9/11 joke.
It just occurred to me how often Rick and Morty references 9/11. 5 times so far, at least once per season: - Lawnmo… https://t.co/X4JZ32B8E1— Triple-Q (@Triple-Q)1593219254.0
The joke appeared to make light of the devastating attacks.
During the episode, Rick and Morty fly around an alien city and decide against attacking 2 identical towers ahead of them.People were not happy.
They did a Pearl Harbor instead of a 9/11. Such a classy move. #RickandMorty season 4 episode 7 https://t.co/f4jB7eOd0y— Robert (@Robert)1589210883.0
Here's the clip.

But this time, it is a video of one of the writers, Dan Harmon.
However, there is a part of the skit that has left people feeling not only uncomfortable...
But, quite simply, disgusted.Some people even believe that Harmon should be sent to jail for the video.
I JUST WATCHED THIS DAN HARMON VIDEO!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! JAIL JAIL JAIL!!!!!! https://t.co/AgYdYRSzz1— rose رز🍒 (@rose رز🍒)1597339593.0
To put it simply...
He can be seen climbing into a room through an open window...
It is nothing short of grotesque.
However, two years on, his apology hasn't succeeded in stopping from the video from resurfacing again...
Actual not even upset that Rick and Morty is cancelled after seeing that Dan Harmon skit 🤦 https://t.co/zmwwXTR8BY— Amy (@Amy)1597338930.0
