Yeah but also if someone learned English from stuff like the Simpsons, futurama, family guy, etc they’d absolutely still sound weird in their word choices, but also in their understanding of our culture. And yeah bojack and Rick and Morty would do it too. Hell you could even throw some stuff like breaking bad in there and they’d still struggle.
You'd be surprised to know, then, that's exactly how a large number of ESL speakers learn your language.
