Pat is infinitely more interesting, funny, and worth following his antics than BossmanJack ever will be and I will die on that hill.
In fairness, Pat hasn’t been as funny since 2023. It’s sort of like Ethan Ralph in that there are moments the old horse shows some signs of life, but overall it’s just sad and pathetic to watch now because of how diminished they are. Hell, you would’ve thought the antics of Trump (who’s just as much of a cow as Pat is, both figuratively and literally) and his second administration would’ve injected fresh life into him, but nope. Even the Brothermen are getting tired, you can only do so many fake Craigslist ads so many times before it gets stale.
But I’d rather have that than the inane same old of a crack addict yelling, breaking doors, and terrorizing his parents, day in and day out.
2023 (Season 5 going into 6) was one of the best, and he burned so brightly that '24 couldn't match the same standard and this year has felt like a let down. But we've still had some great moments in the Fativerse in 2025, even if with long lulls in between:
- Trump takes office for the second time; Rick in shambles.
- Boomia & Zoomia breach the Half-Hovel and leave headshots of Adam Mucci for Rick to find, then tweet him about it.
- Police report from the Chubbies Cheesesteaks incident is unearthed; Rick denies 90% of its contents.
- SpaceEdge tricks Rick into revealing that he never actually disconnected his number; Rick starts responding to texts all over again.
- Elon Musk ratios Rick on X.
- A second Pest stays at the Hovel and finds the kitchen knife Rick infamously photographed down his pants is put out for guest use.
- Eric Hildeman's goblin-wife's Fetlife account and goblin-side lover are discovered; Hildy is forced to seek alternative lodging when the lover eventually moves into their home.
- Pests submit a FOIA request to MI state police regarding the alleged bomb threat at Penguicon in 2023; it is rejected on the grounds the MSP have no record of such an event; Rick, when confronted about this on X, claims the local police went over their heads right to the FBI; after almost two years without an incident, Swatting 55 serendipitously occurs this same day, drawing attention away from the Pests on Rick's feed.
- Snackie's mental status evaluation and appeal letter after being discharged from the military are discovered; it's revealed she was given a DD214 after (
checks notes) only four months of service for literally being a fat cum dumpster and a slob with continued behavioral problems.
- The entire Blackie (Black Jackie) Saga.
- Brianna Wu cuts ties with Rick in March over a public spat only to have the same exact fight later in December after being baited by a Pest.
- @LibsofBluesky discovers Rick.
- @IFindRetards discovers Rick.
- Rick coins his newest copypasta:
This is where you died, Stalker.
- Rick cited for misconduct after falsely imprisoning a delivery truck driver.
- It is discovered that Rick's friend and noted rapist Kelly L. Williams has a daughter on OnlyFans who lives with him.
- Leslie sends Rick a C&D; he disregards it; she follows up with a hilariously petty albeit ultimately pointless restraining order request leading to one of the greatest public spats in the entire Fativerse Saga.
- After presumably being threatened by staff, Rick spends most of WorldCon25-Seattle in his room alone responding to Pests mocking him on X about the Leslie situation; nothing else to report from WorldCon.
- Shane Nokes livestreams from Portland ICE protests; babbles autistically to strangers about being molested and Diaper Dan of Insight Software.
- New "man-on-the-street" Rick interview with local news discovered; he was filmed leaving Walgreens with a Mountain Dew at 33 years old wearing Johnny Sac leather gloves and walking like he'd just filled his diaper.
- Video is discovered of Rick being mocked by his open-mic peers at a roast event in 2015 that he wasn't invited to.
Nowhere near as good as 2024 let alone 2023, but still solid output for any cow/pig.
