The Best Rick and Morty Quotes From The Series So Far
Easily one of the best new shows on TV, Adult Swim's Rick and Morty is chalk full of amazing quotes that are both hilarious and thought provoking. Created by Justin Roiland and Community's Dan Harmon, Rick and Morty is fresh, visually stimulating, and downright hilarious. This list showcases some of Rick and Morty's best one liners so far, although many are spoken by Rick since he steals the show almost every episode. In a time where Adult Swim is straying away from animated content and producing more and more live action content, R&M is a very good sign that the network hasn't completely abandoned hope for cartoons. Vote for the best Rick and Morty quotes and dialogue you see below, and if one of your favorites is missing, let us know in the comments and we'll add it to the list!
http://www.ranker.com/list/best-rick-and-morty-quotes/movie-and-tv-quotes,

Poptarts
Morty: "I mean, why would a poptart want to live inside a toaster, Rick? I mean, that would be like the scariest place for them to live. You know what I mean?"
Rick: "You're missing the point Morty. Why would he drive a smaller toaster with wheels? I mean, does your car look like a smaller version of your house? No."
Rick's View on Love

Rick: "Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle, Morty. Rise above. Focus on science"
Your Whole Life Ahead of You
Rick: "You're young, you have your whole life ahead of you, and your anal cavity is still taut yet malleable."
Just Killed My Family
Morty: “I just killed my family! I don’t care who they were!”
Rick: “I dunno, some people would pay top dollar for that kind of breakthrough.”
Hitler Cured Cancer
Rick: "What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is: Don't think about it."
Hot Girls
Beth: "He's not a hot girl. He can't just bail on his life and set up shop in someone else's."
Shotgun Penis
Jerry: “I wish that shotgun was my penis.”
Beth: “If it was, you could call me Ernest Hemingway.”
Monument to Compromise
Rick: "Those guys are inside you building a piece of shit Ethan!! They're inside you building a monument to compromise!! Fuck them. Fuck those people. Fuck this whole thing Ethan."
Crononberg'd Up the Whole Place
Rick: "Wow I really crononberg'd up the whole place huh Morty, just a bunch a cronenbergs walkin around"
Glip Glops
Rick: "It's like the N word and the C word had a baby and it was raised by all the bad words for Jews."

24 Cliches That Only Anime Fans Will Understand

24 Cliches That Only Anime Fans Will Understand
Every anime fan knows that there are tropes that can be found in almost every series, but which are the ones that we see the most? Here is Ranker's list of the most blatant anime cliches. These funny anime cliches transcend genres and demographics, as they can be found in just about every series that's out there. Admittedly some of these tropes can be found in plenty of fictional works that aren't necessarily anime, but the idea here was to include only cliches that anime fans will really understand. We invest so much of our time watching these series, and understanding these inside jokes is our reward! If you have an obvious anime cliche that is missing from the list, let us know in the comments and we might just add it! 
http://www.ranker.com/list/the-most-overused-anime-cliches/ranker-anime, videos, animated, anime, other,

The Beach Episode
In a lot of anime, there is a filler episode that revolves around all the characters going to the beach (or sometimes a pool) to hang out and have a good time. There is one reason and one reason only that the beach episode exists....fan service. The girls are scantily clad in their sexy bathing suits, and the guys have their shirts off to show off their abs and muscles. Thanks beach episode! I always wondered what my favorite female character looked like half naked!
The Bad Guys That Turn Good
Ah yes, the character that for the first 50 or so episodes is extremely evil, but eventually switches over and becomes a good guy. To be fair this usually only happens in Shonen Jump series, where characters like Vegeta (DBZ), Renji (Bleach), Gaara (Naruto), and Franky & Nico Robin (One Piece) all eventually made the switch from foe to friend. If you're starting a long series and there is a bad guy that you wish was good, don't worry! Chances are they'll probably end up on the winning team eventually.
Yelling The Name Of Your Special Attack As You Do It
One does not simply do their special move without yelling the name of it. That is pretty much the #1 golden rule of anime. Whether it's "Kamehameha," "Final Flash," "Rasengan," "Sharingan," "Gum Gum Pistol," or anything else, it's an unwritten law that a character must shout the name of their attack before they actually use it. Does it make it 10x more obvious that the attack is coming? Yes. Does it ever actually matter? No, no it does not.
Hero Always Has Enourmous Appetite
What is it about anime characters and their insatiable appetites? The two names that come to mind are Goku and Luffy, but it certainly doesn't stop there. Remember that episode of Samurai Champloo, when Fuu gorged herself during an eating contest? The sad part is that she accidentally threw in the towel and didn't even end up winning. For whatever reason overeating in anime is a staple in almost every series, but who can blame the characters? The food always looks so damn good.
Thinking The Enemy Is Dead When They Clearly Aren't
This is probably one of the most notorious cliches on this list, purely in terms of how often it happens it anime. Here's how it always, ALWAYS goes down:

1. Good guy delivers "final blow" to enemy
2. One of his companions says, "you did it!"
3. The enemy reveals they aren't hurt at all

I can pretty much guarantee you that if you ever hear a character say "Alright, you did it!" that the bad guy is 100%, without a doubt, not dead. 
The Overpowering Sound of Cicadas
What's the best way an anime can let you know it's supposed to be summer time? If you answered, "add extremely loud cicada noises that loop over and over again," then you are absolutely correct! Every anime veteran has recognized this trope in at least one series they've watched, and it's become somewhat of a joke within the anime community. 
The Pervert Character
Sanji, Master Roshi, Jiraya...this is just scratching the surface when talking about perverted anime characters who are obsessed with women. Hell, even the original Pokemon series had a pervert in Brock, who couldn't help but swoon over the Nurse Joys and Office Jennys of the world. A pervert's #1 weakness will always be beautiful women, even in battle.
Female Characters With Giant Boobs
This one is basically unavoidable. If you watch anime, then you've seen at least a dozen girls whose breasts are inconceivably too big for their body. Some shows have more gratuitous fan serivce than others (looking at you High School of the Dead) but regardless, it's something that isn't going away anytime soon.  
The Exaggerated Facial Expresions
Whether it's shock, embarrassment, excitement, or anger, many anime characters will put on a completely ridiculous face to express how they're feeling. Sometimes it's tiny eyes to express confusion, while other times it's an extreme blush to show that they're smitten. All I know is don't call Edward Elrich short, or you might see an example of this.
The More You Glow, The Stronger You Are
This is a simple rule of anime that cannot be disputed. The more you are glowing, the stronger you are. Have you ever seen Krillin glow? Didn't think so.

The Best DC Comics Animated Movies

A list of the best DC animated feature length movies including new DC animated movies as well. These are feature length animated films based on DC comics such as Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern, characters that live within the DC Universe. In the 1990s, when live action movies based on DC Comics were in a slump, the Warner Bros' DC animation division took the reins, putting forth great quality animated films led by the likes of Paul Dini, Bruce Timm, and Alan Burnett. Today, animated films based on DC Comics are still popular. 
 

What are the best DC animated movies? Are the animated Batman movies like Batman: Under the Red Hood and Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker your favorites? DC Comics is currently owned by DC Entertainment, which in turn is owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment. These may not be all the DC animated movies, but they are the greatest.
 

You may think this is a list of DC movies, but in fact it is list of DC animated movies only. So you won’t find the likes of The Dark Knight, or Man of Steel here, but you will for sure see all the Superman animated movies. Maybe once DC makes enough we can have a Justice League movies list.

The Best Old School Anime From 1999 and Before
With the abundance of new anime that is available to us these days, sometimes it's nice to kick your feet back and check out some classics. Here is our list of the best old school anime of all time, consisting of anime from 1999 and before. What was anime like in the 80's and 90's? Well the animation was a lot grainier and less crisp, but the stories were just as good as today's anime. Shows like Cowboy Bebop and Neon Genesis Evangelion are regarded as some of the best anime of all time, proving that memorable characters and a great plot are always superior over fancy animation. Have you seen all of the classic anime below? We want you to vote for the series you love the most, but this list is also a great guide if you're looking to find some great old school anime shows that you haven't seen before. A few of these are movies and not tv series, such as Akira and Grave of the Fireflies. If you're a fan of Dragon Ball Z, definitely check out Fist of the North Star. The series was very influential in modern day fighting anime.

We're leaving the answer up to you, by letting you vote on this list of the the perviest anime characters of all time. They get nosebleeds, slaps in the face, hearts in their eyes, and that's all before noon. These anime perverts will stop at nothing to talk to a beautiful woman, no matter how many times they've been rejected or turned away. Sanji from One Piece even almost died once, simply because he refused to fight a woman (although Nami ended up kicking her ass). We included the most notorious tail-chasers we could think of, but if you think there's an anime pervert that should definitely be on the list, then we strongly encouarge you to add him to the list. It doesn't even have to be a guy; if you can think of a perverted woman than feel free to add her too!

People scour these movies with a fine tooth comb, looking for any clever Disney Easter eggs and hidden nods that throw back to Disney’s storied history. This list includes all kinds of fun facts and little details you might not have noticed in Disney’s animated classics.

Disney has been planting Easter eggs (by hand and frame by frame, back in the day) since before the term was even relevant.

This list contains Easter eggs from classic Disney animated films (all pre-1995). So, whether it's Sebastian showing up in Aladdin, Bambi's mother being resurrected and appearing in flashback in a few films, or Goofy, Mickey and Donald popping up in the strangest of places, these are the best Easter eggs in classic Disney Films!

Upvote the most interesting and surprising classic Disney movie Easter eggs below and don't worry, there's an entire list of Easter eggs from modern Disney movies and all those hidden Mickeys, too!

Dodger passes an excited dalmatian who bares a distinct resemblance to Pongo from 101 Dalmatians. (Where the other 100 are, we'll never know.)

It Tastes Like Grandma!!
The Joke:
Inspired by a Zorro movie, Homer begins slapping people with a glove and challenging them to duels.

When a real Southern gentleman accepts Homer's request for a duel, the Simpsons run off to the old farm Homer lived on with his parents and breed a dangerously addictive but successful tobacco/tomato hybrid called "tomacco."

What Actually Happened:
Homer’s "tomacco" plant became a reality when Rob Baur, a senior operations analyst at an Oregon sewage treatment plant, created it in his house.

He grafted together a tobacco root with a tomato plant to create a real-life tomacco, without even enlisting the aid of radioactive material.

To date, no nearby farm animals have gone berserk and articulated their tomacco desire through speech yet. YET.
There's Very Little Meat In These Gym Mats
The Joke: As seen in the video above, Lunch Lady Doris is seen throwing gym mats into a meat grinder in order to prepare the school lunch for the day.

Anyone who's ever had a public school lunch knows how completely inedible they can be, and some of the wet, warm, questionable objects on your styrofoam, sectioned-off tray do seem like they have hazardous chemicals as their base...but gym mats?

That's unheard of, that would never happen, right?



What Actually Happened:
So it turns out that the bread used in the McDonald's McRib actually contains an ingredient (banned in some parts of Europe) that is used to keep gym mats sponge-y.

Time Magazine's Healthland blog ran a story about the McRib and its ingredients. It identified Azodicarbonamide as one ingredient found in the sandwich's bun and apparently, it is most commonly used in the manufacturing of foam gym mats and the soles of shoes.

The blog also noted that the 70 ingredients of the McRib, including Azodicarbonamide, exist in very small quantities and will almost certainly leave anyone eating a McRib unharmed. Subway was also found to be using the chemical in its bread, too.

Still, Azodicarbonamide is a substance banned in Europe and strictly regulated by the FDA. 

Looks like the Doris joke really wasn't that far off.
My Retirement Grease!!!!!


The Joke:
In the episode "In Lard Of The Dance" Homer discovers he can make money by stealing and reselling grease found in the back of Springfield Elementary's kitchen. They even build a contraption so that they can steal the maximum amount of grease in their car, like so...



They eventually give up after a few encounters with Groundskeeper Willie and the Springfield Grease Company.



Bart and Homer barely escape an angry, greased-up Willie while trying to make it home-free with their glorious, profit-garnering grease in tow.

What Actually Happened:
In November of 2011, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that thieves had stolen at least $2,000 worth of grease from the privately-owned restaurant The St. Louis Wing Co. since April.

"It's a big deal. There's a huge underground out there for this stuff," owner Bobby Thessler said. "Others have said that this is like the new copper... These thieves are getting more sophisticated..."



When he called the police on these thieves, they spotted three teenagers taking grease from the back of Tessler's restaurant, as well as others on that same block.

The man uses about 60 to 70 pounds of grease every week, so saving money by selling it has always been a way to help break even.

A rendering company would have paid the owner of the company multiple thousands of dollars for used cooking grease.


Itchy and Scratchy's Bloody Billboard
The Joke:
When The "Itchy and Scratchy Movie" premiered in The Simpsons, they advertised with a billboard that sprayed blood when Itchy hit Scratchy over the head with a sledgehammer, meant to poke fun at the overtness of not only violence in emerging popular media, but in even its advertising.



What Actually Happened:
New Zealand was super excited about the TV premier of Kill Bill, so they borrowed the idea from "The Simpsons" in a way that actually may have escaped the creators of the controversial Kill Bill billboard.



In an homage to Kill Bill's gore, the billboard sprayed "blood" across the wall, street and cars.

Just like the advertising for "The Itchy and Scratchy Movie."
Flaming Moe
The Joke:
Homer tells the local tavern owner Moe about a secret cocktail that includes cough medicine and fire that he calls a "Flaming Homer." 

Moe steals the recipe and renames the drink the "Flaming Moe," and begins selling it at his tavern, betraying Homer in the process. The drink is a success and Moe becomes famous, even Aerosmith drops by to perform at his place!



What Actually Happened:
Andy Heidel, the owner of a bar in Prospect Heights, NY called The Way Station, just happened to have a bottle of Robitussin behind the bar when someone brought up the Flaming Moe. Not sure why you would have cough medicine behind a bar, but whatever. He grabbed the 'tussin and mixed it with Pernod, Jagermeister and a Bacardi 151 floater and set it on fire. He and his friends got shmammered and the real-life Flaming Moe was born. 


Scotchtoberfest
The Joke:
principal Skinner tries to set Bart up to get in trouble, so he concocts something called "Scotchtoberfest," which allows him to control an entire event in which he knows Bart won't be able to resist pranking Groundskeeper Willie. Skinner attempts to catch Bart in act.


Vintage Wine & Spirits Co. A wine, beer, spirits, cigar, and wine accessory specialty shop located in West Des Moines, Iowa created a real Scotchtoberfest held every Saturday in October.


I Was Elected To Lead Not To Read
The Joke:
This was a dig at Governor Schwarzenegger from The Simpson's Movie, saying he was too dumb to be a Government official.

The line "I was elected to lead, not read," was such a ridiculous statement because an elected official's entire job is reading long, difficult legislation, making sense of it, then deliberating.

What Actually Happened:
In the 2012 GOP race there was a man by the name of Herman Cain, and he ran on the slogan "We need a leader, not a reader."

So yeah, that almost happened.

What does that slogan even mean? You need to read and be at least somewhat of an intellectual to run a country, that's why that joke in The Simpsons is so fun and why in the real world it's just so tragic.


Stolen Sugar Truck
The Joke:
Lisa begins to feel threatened by Allison, a new student, because she is smarter, younger, and a better saxophone player than she is.



Their rivalry reaches a climax at the school's diorama contest where Lisa plans to sabotage Allison's entry. The episode's subplot sees Homer steal a large pile of sugar from a crashed truck, and begin selling it door-to-door. He keeps it in the back yard and it eventually melts from the rain.

What Actually Happened:

Someone actually stole a freaking sugar truck.

In 2009, two kids were arrested by police in India for stealing a sugar truck from a person actually in charge of delivering the sugar. The kids were actually in charge of cleaning the truck and took it while it was parked at the cleaner/boss's house.

No word on whether or not they planned to sell it door to door.


The Land Of Chocolate
The Joke:
The Land of Chocolate is a land imagined by Homer when German businessman bought the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and, during an interview, told Homer they came from "the Land of Chocolate," meaning Germany.

In Homer's head, this land was made entirely of chocolate, including houses, streetlights, paths, and rivers. Even chocolate rabbits and dogs. And in a part called "Fudgetown," they even had chocolate fudge rains.

What Actually Happened:
Well, China has done it again. For the second year in a row, a theme park made entirely from chocolate will open its doors in Shanghai, according to CNNGo.

The park used 80 tons of Belgian chocolate to create sculptures such as the Terracotta warriors and The Great Wall.

The exhibit drew roughly a half a million visitors, according to CNNGo.



This year, the park is moving to Shanghai's Himalayas Art Museum, and will feature 200 pieces of chocolate art. Chocolatiers will also be on hand to make everything from truffle chocolate to wine chocolate; visitors will also be able to create their own chocolate.

I think if I were to actually visit this theme park, I would act exactly as Homer did in his dream. No word yet on the edible, sentient chocolate animals.
The Good Morning Burger


The Joke:

In the Simpsons, the Good Morning Burger was 18 ounces of sizzling ground beef soaked in rich creamery butter, topped off with bacon, ham, and a fried egg.

This was before all fast food restaurants started carrying a regular menu of heart-attacks every morning before 10:30AM, so it really worked as a satire of how horrible fast food is for you.

Before the "Baconator," a Sourdough Jack, or even a triple cheeseburger were as bad as things got.

The Good Morning Burger seemed so ridiculous and far off that it could never really happen.

Until...


What Actually Happened: This take on the Good Morning Burger is quite similar: hash browns, topped with a hamburger, topped with a fried egg. There are hash browns under a burger that's under a fried egg.

Another good example of how far things have gotten in fast food are, of course, the KFC Double Down and their "failure bowls" (as comedian Patton Oswalt calls them in this bit).

The Best Songs in the History of South Park
Since the very first episode of the show, South Park has been entertaining us with hilarious and often inappropriate songs that make us laugh and want to sing along. The songs that Matt and Trey write for South Park aren't just funny; they're most often well crafted and catchy as well. Their 1999 movie South Park Bigger, Longer and Uncut is essentially a musical, but on this list, we're focusing only on songs from the show.

Featuring classics like the Kanye West song "Gay Fish," the anime theme "Let's Fighting Love," and the boy's pop song "Fingerbang," it's definitely not easy to pick the funniest song from South Park. With all these funny songs from the show, is it any surprise that The Book of Mormon is such a popular musical? Vote for your favorite songs from South Park, and feel free to add ones if you think they deserve to be on this list.
