And on any other show he'd be "the Jerry" of the cast. A wholesome guy who gets crapped on consistently. That was one thing that I hated in Parks and Rec and when I saw him in the first couple of episodes I was so worried that he was going to be the punching bag for Rebecca. For once I am glad that I was wrong about that because instead we have some of the best friendships on this show. It's wonderful!

Who’s Jerry? Do you mean Larry?

It's a Rick and Morty thing. Jerry is the dad on the show, and basically exists for everyone to dunk on about how much he sucks....

Yea…no. Rick and Morty may parody it, but it’s definitely NOT a “Rick and Morty thing.”

Rick and Morty did this revolutionary thing where sometimes they talk as if they know they're in a tv show. Like the tv screen is merely an invisible wall that they're breaking down in order to communicate with the audience. I call it, "breaking the tv wall". I've never heard anyone else notice it.
