Internet users are calling for Rick and Morty to be canceled after an old video created by Dan resurfaced. The video, which he made in 2009, is meant to be a spinoff of Dexter, though instead of the therapist being a serial killer, he's a pedophile.
Dan appears at the beginning of the video, openly admitted that the humor following his disclaimer may be too much for "normal people," and suggests they should click away if they can't handle it.
The video then shows a therapy session wrapping up, in which Dan, who plays the therapist, tells his patient to "go home, tuck that baby in, and get a good night's sleep."
Dan's character then proceeds to sneak in the window of the home of his patient, drop his pants, and rub his exposed genitalia on the baby doll.
This "pilot" was made in 2009 and began making rounds in 2018, forcing Dan to apologize for the content in it.
“In 2009, I made a ‘pilot’ which strove to parody the series Dexter and only succeeded in offending. I quickly realized the content was way too distasteful and took the video down immediately," he said in 2018, according to Indie Wire. "Nobody should ever have to see what you saw and for that, I sincerely apologize.”
At the time, Cartoon Network, which owns Adult Swim, stood by Dan and his apology, denouncing the video. Dan deleted his Twitter due to the backlash he received.
