Why Adult Cartoon Conventions Are the Wildest Place You'll Ever Find a Rick and Morty Fan

So, you know how most conventions are about superheroes and sci-fi robots, right? Well, somewhere between the booth selling glow-in-the-dark Groot dolls and the guy dressed as a Stormtrooper who can’t quite walk straight, there’s a whole other galaxy — the weird, wonderful world of fan conventions centered around adult cartoons. And trust me, if you think cosplay at Comic-Con is quirky, waiting in line for the latest adult animated TV shows panel makes a glow-stick rave look like a church picnic.

Let me paint you a picture. It’s late morning, and you’re wandering around a large, crowded hall. You see a guy decked out as a giant, neon green pickle—yes, from that one adult cartoon series that loves to mix philosophy, cannibalism, and existential dread with a healthy dose of comedy. A few feet away, an entire group is reenacting a scene from that infamous episode where everyone’s screaming and crying because their favorite character got squashed—oh wait, that’s every episode if you’re a fan of adult humor cartoons.

Adult Animation Fans Are a Different Breed

First off, the merch. I swear, the booths selling things like “Putin’s Spicy Borscht” hot sauce or “Szechuan Sauce” tee shirts are busier than those with the licensed superhero capes. Who knew you could get a t-shirt that says “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub” without getting laughed out of a Starbucks?

Most conventions for adult animation aren’t just about watching panels or buying merch. There’s an underground mini-scene of live-drawing contests where artists race to sketch the best “Rick and Morty meets BoJack Horseman” crossover fan art. The stakes? Eternal Instagram bragging rights, naturally.

The Cosplay Is Next Level — and a Little Weird

In typical cosplay fashion, these conventions feature people dressed as the most iconic characters. But here’s the twist: instead of just looking like the characters, they act like them. Imagine a group of cosplayers doing a full-on improv of Rick Sanchez’s drunken rants in the cafeteria line, while the “Morty” cosplayer tries to keep order before the panel starts.

Then there’s the creativity, which borders on madness. Someone once showed up as a walking billboard for “The Midnight Gospel” — like a full-body screen playing trippy animations synced with their own psychedelic narration. Needless to say, they didn’t get kicked out, just gently guided towards the nearest exit to “maybe chill out a little.”

Why Are We So Obsessed with Adult Animated TV Shows Anyway?

Here’s a theory: adult animation series combine nostalgia with an unapologetic dive into topics your grandma’s knitting circle probably wouldn’t discuss. Whether it’s the salty sarcasm of “Archer,” the couch-bound existential crises of “BoJack Horseman,” or the absurd humor of “Squat! Sitcom,” these shows serve up a kind of comedy cocktail that’s too bitter-sweet and intellectual to just be “cartoons.” It’s like the grown-up version of Saturday morning cartoons but spiked with a little bit of tequila and way more clever punchlines.

Speaking of Squat! Sitcom, if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out on some of the sharpest humor wrapped in the most ridiculous fitness-themed storyline you never knew you needed. Watch Squat! now and join the fun at Squat Spot Fitness! It’s like your gym, but with laughs and way fewer burpees that actually make you want to move.

The Panels Are Where the Magic Happens

If you ever want to see passion on steroids, attend a panel on the “future of adult cartoons.” What you get is a combo of superfans and the actual writers/artists spilling secrets that make you appreciate the artistry behind the jokes. Plus, you hear stuff like, “Did you know the character’s middle name is actually a tribute to someone’s pet iguana?” I mean, where else do you get that?

And those Q&A sessions, man, they go from “What was the inspiration behind the episode?” to “Can you make a crossover with season six of that other weird show that no one talks about?” faster than you can say “adult cartoon series binge.”

The Community Vibe Is Sincerely Awesome

What really makes these conventions stand out is the community. Unlike some more mainstream fandoms where drama goes nuclear over a single off-the-cuff tweet, fans of adult cartoons tend to be a little more laid back. Maybe it’s because the shows themselves attract people who appreciate absurdity and dark humor — and who also can handle not taking things too seriously.

The friendships formed here? Real. For every sarcastic quip exchanged between strangers about how many times they’ve rewatched that one season, there’s an actual connection forged over mutual love for characters who are often messed up but oddly endearing.

In Summary: If You Haven’t Been to an Adult Animation Convention…

  • Expect to see costumes that make you question reality (and your sanity).
  • Witness some of the most clever and weird merch on the planet.
  • Get insider scoops and wild stories during panels.
  • Connect with a community of fans who just get the genius of adult animation series.
  • Find things like Squat! Sitcom that combine humor with unexpected fitness inspiration.

So next time you hear someone brag about their Comic-Con haul, just smile and nod, then prepare yourself to tell them about the thrill of meeting the guy who makes the voice of that talking horse with serious issues while dressed as him at your local adult cartoon convention. Trust me, it’s a wild, weird ride — and you’ll never want to go back to boring old superhero fandom again.
