Rick and Morty is at once brilliant and moronic, totally brand new yet somehow really familiar, and even though the show has moved far away from creator Justin Roiland's original concept that has proven to be a good thing. So what, you may ask, was Justin's original concept?

The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti, which was meant to troll Universal Pictures and "poke fun at the idea of getting cease and desist letters", original title Back to the Future: The New Official Universal Studios Cartoon Featuring the New Doc Brown and Marty McFly. (NSFW)

As you'd imagine the short is raunchy and very NSFW, but it also serves as a great example of how a concept, however crude, can become something great if you selectively breed that concept into a champion.

There are some movie props you will never forget. In fact, some of them are the cornerstone of the film they appeared in -like Wilson from Survivor, Rosebud from Citizen Kane or the Maltese falcon from, you know, The Maltese Falcon. Thrillist recently ranked the 100 best movie props of all time and rather than just write them all down, they also included the stories behind each of the props. It's a fascinating article though you probably won't want to read every single story behind all 100 props unless you have a whole lot of time.

Very few actors stay in the business of show for their entire lives, and even many Hollywood lifers have been known to take a year or ten off to pursue interests other than acting.

But the most interesting cases are those actors who become pop culture icons then disappear from the spotlight never to be seen on stage again.

Actors have been known to transition into a new career as a lawyer, teacher or salesperson, which make sense considering their acting skill set, but going from playing the Red Power Ranger to fighting fires makes Austin St. John a real life superhero!

And lastly there's Little Mikey, the hungry kid in the Life cereal commercials who became a legend, an urban legend that is:

Some women like functional flats and some prefer fancy heels, but it takes a special kind of girl to appreciate the wildly over-the-top heels made by Etsy seller Zombie Peepshow.

As you may have guessed from the name, most of the shoes in the shop have a dark twist in them like the Disney shoes up top, but there are plenty that aren't creepy, like these mermaid heels.

But if the shoes aren't horror-inspired, they instead are delightfully geeky -like this set with dinosaurs on the heels.

And like practically every seller who creates geeky stuff on Etsy, there are, of course, the obligatory and awesome Star Wars creations.

So check out the full Zombie Peepshow inventory over at Etsy.

I've heard of werewolf hunters and werewolf fetishists but I've never heard of a werewolf trainer, and that's probably because the turnaround in that job market must be brutal!

All kidding aside folks, there's a time and a place to play servant and master and that time is when your kids aren't home and that place is some dark leather dungeon kept hidden from the kiddies, preferably one with lots of soundproofing! (Comic by MikeBasilisco)

Some people spend way too much time worrying about how they look and not enough time working on being the best person they can be, and these beauty obsessed folks can't leave the house without putting their face on.

In this way their beauty obsession becomes like a mask, and when others see how pretty they look with their masks on the maskless citizens clamor for masks of their own, so they can fit in with their pretty friends.

Being Pretty was created by animator David James Armsby of Dead Sound, who used the project to explore "themes of individualism, innocence and brainwashing" in a town called Autodale.

John Carpenter has been bringing our nightmares to life on the big screen since the 70s, but before he sat in the director's chair he sat in the recording studio and cranked out some killer tunes.

He created the iconic soundtracks for the Halloween films, Escape From New York and Big Trouble In Little China, and in his new music video John revisits the score he created for the 1983 movie adaptation of Stephen King's Christine.

The music video for Christine was created to advertise John Carpenter's latest audio release Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998, which will be released by Sacred Bones on October 20th, just in time for Halloween!

Urban myths about video games have existed since the first arcade cabinets appeared in bars and pizza parlors, and as video games became a big part of our pop culture lovin' lives the myths surrounding them began to multiply.

But there's one somewhat silly myth created in the 21st century that centers around a mysterious arcade cabinet from 1981 that doesn't exist- the myth of Polybius.

The Hulu show Dimension 404 had a fun episode about it, the internet is full of people who weren't even born in the 80s speculating about its supposed origin, and yet there is no proof an arcade game called Polybius ever existed.

This hourlong documentary by Stuart "Ahoy" Brown explores the mythical arcade game that's supposedly a government agency's recruitment tool or a device of alien origin but is actually pure science fiction.

We previously featured a Lord of the Rings firepit, but it was just a plain old One Ring. The incredible designs by Etsy seller Imagine Metal Art take nerdy firepits to a whole new level -adding layer upon layer of intricate design to each work of art.

The seller offers two different Lord of the Rings designs -the one above as well as this Witch King design. 

But there are more than just Lord of the Rings designs. Other geeky creations include designs that feature dragons and Star Wars. 

Check out all the rest of the designs here.

Walt Disney knew the way to rake in the big bucks was to cater to kids with all of your products, and even though Disney flicks are kept kid friendly we remember scenes from them for the rest of our lives.

Now if Disney movies received a hard R rating instead of a soft G they'd be remembered for radically different reasons, and we would have gotten to see a little too much of the Beast.

In retrospect I think I like Disney movies just the way they are, because as this comic by Paul Westover shows when Disney characters earn a hard R they lose their charm and gain a bad reputation. Why Goofy, WHY?!!!

The grandmas of the world need to be protected from all the dangerous creatures out there that like to dine on little grannies, but they can also show us a thing or two about bravery and conflict resolution.

And if she's lucky enough to have a grandchild who's a hero then gran may get to go on a grand adventure, where she can impart her wisdom to the budding hero so they can be better prepared for the journey ahead.

Grandma's Hero is an adorable and impeccably drawn animated short from The Animation Workshop which shows us what the fantasy genre has been missing all along- grannies!

You know how realistic that horse head in The Godfather looks and how terrified the actor appears to be when he sees it in bed with him? Well, that's because the head was actually a real horse head -not a prop. The design team actually tried to make a prop horse head, but Francis Ford Coppola didn't think it looked quite real enough, so instead they bought one from a dog food factory.

Over on TopTenz, you can read about ten movie props that were actually real -including the flame thrower guitar in Mad Max, the skeletons in Poltergeist and the door Jack Nicholson chops down in The Shining.

The Steam community is made up of passionate gamers who are always ready to try out a new game and tell the developers what they think of their creation, giving it a thumbs up or down and an honest review.

These reviews are then read by developers and the games are improved based upon feedback, which is often very thorough and detailed since Steam reviewers are generally quite knowledgeable about video games.

There are also plenty of funny and totally unhelpful reviews posted to Steam too, and even though they're of no help to the developers these reviews help us all stay sane by adding some much needed levity to our lives.

Sometimes these funny reviews actually manage to describe a game perfectly, capturing the feel of playing games like Rocket League, The Witness, Slime Rancher and ARK so we know what we're getting into before we buy the game.

It doesn't take long for dogs to go from tame pet to wild beast and back again because they have the spirit of a vagabond inside them.

But when they meet a human on the streets they actually like they're happy to tag along with them for a while, which won't be much of a change for the dog but may send the human on a new adventure they never expected!

This awesome animated short was created by a team of third year Character Animation and CG Arts students at The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark.

It might seem like the people creating the advertising for KFC have lost their minds, but they're actually using well-crafted madness to create one of the most memorable ad campaigns of all time.

But the branding doesn't stop with the customers, because new employees are also treated to some fun with the Colonel when they play a bizarre VR training game that teaches them how to make fried chicken the hard way.

I kinda want to put in an application at KFC now just so I can play this strange and stupid game!
