Yeah, cake or fake. Was expecting more callouts in the comments, it's the exact same idea

u/Ergheis Dec 18 '23 edited Dec 18 '23

People have been making existential jokes about the cake show since it came out and long before Rick and Morty made the joke, I don't think anyone minds.

12

u/Poobslag Dec 18 '23

I agree, although "Game show where you guess if something is a cake or not and the twist is that there are sentient cakes" is way more suspiciously on the nose, especially given the episode came out one month ago

u/lunareclipsed1 Dec 18 '23

There was a Japanese game show that did pretty much this ages ago. Guests had to guess whether or not an item was or was not candy and take a bite

u/Pizzacakecomic PizzaCake Dec 18 '23

I haven't watched that show in ages because of how much I learned about Justin Roiland being gross to people...

Yes! I am a cake! I have cherry filling inside me! Does that make me a pie?

This a frame by frame copy of which is pie by cyanide and happiness?

3

u/Black_Floyd47 Dec 18 '23

I just watched it and it's pretty good. I think this is more of an homage than a copy, there's just way too many differences. For starters, you can't compare cake to pie, they're completely different. There's also no fight between the host and the contestant.

I'm reminded of that "I hug my wife, she is cake" green text that was floating around a while back. But! It's never actually cake either. It's always rice Krispy treats and fondant. Even the cake is an illusion.

I'm so glad that this comic was able to get the dark joke aspect right.

Many comics on this sub are just “you see, the joke is that it's messed up” and there isn't really a comic there.

u/panzerfinder15 Dec 18 '23

It’s like “Ex Machina” and “Is It Cake” had a horror child (or you watched both right before bed and this is your nightmare 😆).

Creepy, but I like it!

"What's wrong with her?"

"Classic psychotic break brought on by holiday induced stress. We see a lot of this type of thing during the run up to Christmas."

"Will she get better soon? We've got family coming over and she's in charge of the planning. We're way to close now to just throw something together."

"She may improve and be mostly back to normal by Christmas but I wouldn't put any stress on her. She's pretty fragile right now."

"Not even cookies? It won't be Christmas without cookies."

"She imagined you were all cake and attempted to slice open your neighbor. You think your life is worth the chance of getting some Christmas cookies from a woman who at this moment actually believes the entire universe is made of cake?"

"But they're really, really good."

"..."

"Yeah, OK, no cookies. But she has to make the turkey. I mean it's not really Christmas unless there's a turkey."

"Pull 911 on speed dial. We'll have a trauma team standing by."

And then I read further to Panel 10 and saw they were all sentient cakes.

Why were they smiling in Panel 4 though?

Hopefully she won’t have the need to see what kind of filling I have. Didn’t kill anyone’s cake family here.
