MEME REFERENCE

rick and morty-extra steps

Use when a complicated process is revealed to be a familiar simple activity with unnecessary intermediaries.

What it expresses: Needless procedure disguises an ordinary result as innovation or sophistication.
Example: A startup describes ordering lunch through three tokens and a chatbot, and your friend observes that it is delivery with extra steps.
When not to use it: The additional stages provide essential verification and prevent costly errors; they are not decorative complexity.
