The Funniest Tweets About the McDonald’s / Rick and Morty Szechuan Sauce Debacle

This was the weekend McDonald’s brought back its Szechuan sauce for one day only after Rick and Morty made a medium-sized deal about it in an episode that aired six months ago. It did not go well if you were a Rick and Morty fan. It did go well if you like dunking on Rick and Morty fans on Twitter, which has been happening all morning after legions of Szechuan-deprived cartoon fans slathered their rage all over the internet. Here are the funniest tweets about these fans, who have over time become the new standard bearers for irrational and entitled fan behavior.
McDonalds employees have heard pickle rick, schwifty, and wub a lub a dub dub 300 times today, they deserve $15.00/hr

McDonald’s should pour out a trough of the Szechuan Sauce behind every location to watch nerds lick sauce out of a trough
