One week ago, if I heard that Rick and Morty was responsible for TikTokers sexualizing men old enough to be their dads, I would have assumed that someone had leaked more of Justin Roiland’s DMs.
Thankfully, the “Beekeeping Age” craze that is, apparently, pervasive among young women on the internet has nothing to do with Roiland or his history with online teenagers. No, the latest cultural phenomenon in which the uncomfortable laws of attraction between younger women and older men are examined through memes and TikToks stems from the Season Four episode of Rick and Morty titled “Promortyus.”
If you ever wondered what a punch-up from Norm Macdonald sounds like, look no further than his fellow Saturday Night Live alum Jay Mohr. The former Last Comic Standing host sat down with Brendan Schaub and Bryan Callen on their podcast The Fighter and the Kid and shared an anecdote about the time Macdonald helped them get to the finish line of a sketch.
