POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — A recent 36-second video released by the White House, parodying the popular animated series “Rick and Morty,” has drawn significant backlash from fans of the show. The clip, intended as a light-hearted take on artificial intelligence, was met with derision on social media platforms.

The parody, which features characters resembling Rick — and Morty discussing AI, prompted immediate criticism. Many fans took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction, with one user commenting, “Rick would think you guys are huge losers.” The sentiment was echoed by numerous others, who found the parody tone-deaf and out of touch.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also weighed in on the controversy, criticizing the White House’s attempt at humor. “The White House’s AI parody is a clear indication of their disconnect with the public,” she stated in a series of tweets.

The White House has yet to issue a formal response to the criticism. The incident highlights the challenges faced by political entities when engaging with popular culture, particularly in an attempt to relate to younger audiences.
