A creator on Adult Swim’s Rick And Morty has denied being involved in a pretty savage takedown of Game Of Thrones which the network aired following the latest episode.

Viewers are currently in peak 2017 with both Rick And Morty and Game Of Thrones’ episodes airing every Sunday night in the US, but it seemed like the two juggernaut shows were locking horns following their latest outings.
Several hours after the Game Of Thrones season seven finale aired and following the latest episode of Rick And Morty, an in memoriam placard emerged mourning the loss of ‘The Writing on Game Of Thrones’, with a time stamp ending in 2016.
Incredible.
It caused a bit of a commotion online, with the official Rick And Morty account emerging to deny any involvement with the savage placard.
Taking to Twitter, they wrote: ‘We had nothing to do with that game of thrones bumper after last night’s ep. We hadn’t seen it, that was all @adultswim. We heart thrones.’
Rick And Morty co-creator Justin Roiland also took to the platform to clarify their lack of involvement, seemingly not fancying a battle between fire and Plumbus.
‘Just FYI, we had nothing to do with the GOT adult swim bumper from last night,’ Justin wrote. ‘Didn’t even notice it.’
Adult Swim have since confirmed to Mashable they were the culprits behind the rogue bumper, so we can sleep easy now Rick has no qualms with Westeros.
You can catch-up with Game Of Thrones season seven on Now TV, or with Rick And Morty season 3 on Netflix.
