WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB!!!!

After months of delays and evasions about the start date of Rick and Morty season three, the mad, sick, wonderful bastards at Adult Swim have engineered what can only be described as a reverse April Fools’ Day prank and released the first schwifty episode online. I swear to you this is not a joke. It’s been playing over and over on a continuous stream for the last couple of hours, and will apparently be online until the clock hits midnight in the US.

The stream is only viewable in select regions, although there may or may not be ways around that.

This better not end up on the internet. We’re on the honor system, people. Would you steal a car?

Adult Swim have also confirmed via their Facebook page that the rest of the season will premiere “this summer”, although at this point who knows if we can trust anything they say. Right now, I’m too excited to really give a squanch.
