muscles like this? posted:I liked how their principal was on the PA early in the episode announcing the Flu Season dance reminding people not to go to the dance if they actually have the flu. My favorite throwaway Principal Vagina joke was "Principal Vagina here, don't let the name fool you... I'm very much in charge."

For as hosed up as the ending was, I was glad to see Jerry existing at least in some universe where he and his wife are very happy. I was worried he'd be a complete punching bag from start to finish in this show, so a 'win' like this was a nice twist. Still, poor Morty. I mean he already had to kill a clone family of his once before this, but they actually found a way to top that trauma.

NutritiousSnack posted:Keep in mind it also doesn't go with the character development Rick gets last episode either, when he determines that "it is important to clean up the universe" You know, I saw Rick in the end of the King Jellybean episode as humoring Morty in order to cheering him up after the universe very nastily proved Rick right. But I suppose character development is also a valid reading of it.

Holy poo poo this show is amazing. Is it by the same people as Moral Oral, because I'm getting a really similar vibe from it. I saw Rick Potion #9 first and loved it but after watching the five other episodes I think it's my least favorite. The comedic timing reminds me of some of the best of Futurama, but it's much less formulaic. Only real complaint is that I find the lead voice acting to be grating and obnoxious.

this show is incredible. Moral Orel, Venture Brothers, Futurama, Superjail, rolled into one. I couldn't ask for a better show. God, the human body park episode was probably one of the grossest episodes of anything I've ever seen for a dozen different reasons. I still can't get the taste of puke out of my mouth. This show is so loving horrible. ...I love it. A_Raving_Loon posted:Don't Think About It. Jim Silly-Balls posted:I went into this episode thinking "well at least it cant be darker than last weeks episode" Hazo posted:I'm really interested to see what sort of dark secret Rick is hiding, given his obsession with making Morty his "little helper" on all his science adventures. It really seems like there's something more going on than Rick simply wanting to pass the torch and Morty being the person he despises the least. Punch Card posted:He's going to be Rick if he ever makes it to adulthood. That existential horror experienced as a child leads perfectly to a self-medicating alcoholic nihilist later in life. literally. Rick is Morty. They speak the same way, they look similar, they have the same mannerisms. He became his own grandfather, and when he realized that massive fuckup, the only way to prevent the paradox from erasing his existence entirely was to complete the cycle and have Morty experience what he did enough to drive him into madness and alcoholism and eventually become him. He's doing it to save his own rear end. Why else would someone like him have such a pressing urgency to drag Morty around on these adventures otherwise, to explain poo poo to him, to keep him at his side? What other reason could he have to give the slightest poo poo about such insignificant little people? The amount he cares about anyone else but himself is close to zero. I figured this a few episodes in, but... and stay with me here... when Morty approached him and wanted to go home at that tavern, it didn't take much for Rick to understand what just happened. It wasn't exactly hard to figure out but, still, he also made the choice not to ask or pursue it directly. It was Rick's arm that reached back through the portal to blast the Jellybean King, I doubt Morty ever knew he did that and so it was safe for him to do. I'd go so far as to insinuate he remembered it, and finally got his revenge after all this time, as an adult having remembered something that just happened? I want to believe Rick does care about Morty and wants him to know what he knows, because I'm a sap. But I don't think it's that simple. ....I mean the odds are, this is all 100% bullshit of course but nothing is off the table so I may as well say it now in case it comes true later in some way. At least he respects women, though, that's nice.

Garfu posted:My favorite throwaway Principal Vagina joke was "Principal Vagina here, don't let the name fool you... I'm very much in charge." I like his announcement that continues in the background admonishing students with the flu NOT to attend the flu dance. He says something like, "you wouldn't bring a dead baby to Passover, would you?"

The only thing that throws a wrench into the Rick is Morty speculation (it is speculation, not a spoiler) is that the creators have said that they aren't going to do time travel stories.

my2k posted:the amount of incomprehensible horrors Rick must have seen in his life is staggering. That blows my mind the most. He can look at anything and then shrug and open a beer. It's funny situationally, but also serves to really spell out exactly how much poo poo this guy has seen and while we think of him as a sociopathic freak, he's seen countless worlds die, horrifying creatures and mind-bending paradoxical craziness- he has a perspective no sane human being could ever be able to mentally digest, and here we are slapping our foreheads because he's a massive drunk. Rick is what happens when a normal man is forced to comprehend poo poo he wasn't made to. This is part of why I really like the scenes where we get to see Rick relax a bit and do something relatively normal. There's a sense that even though he sees normal people as beneath him and his science-stuff as what's really important, he still appreciates the occasional respite from the madness.

Hearing the 'Cronenberg' thing was particularly amusing as I was recently discussing a new term for describing someone as hideously unattractive with a particularly catty friend and we came up with Cronenberg. To hear it in this show has just solidifed my love for it. <3

There's no way that Rick is Morty, except in some loose figurative sense. The "no time travel" thing for one. For another, Morty is dumb as poo poo. Finally, it'd be way too predictable.

They can't possibly be genetically identical. e: and they also have to be genetically related, and the father didn't turn into a mantis monster so Jerry has to be the father.

I was wondering after that episode though, how closely related do you have to be to be immune? If Rick was immune, then what about Morty's grandmother and paternal grandparents? Cousins? Aunts and Uncles? Somewhere out there in Neo Cronenberg World must be other small tribes like Jerry's who are distantly related to Morty. Maybe eventually they'll find each other, inbreed, and rebuild civilization, just like in the Bible!

The only time Rick was being chased was when he was with Morty, and at no point did anyone say "You're not Morty" or something similar to Rick. Rick never really had any direct contact with the horde after that point. Not to help derail the thread with this talk, I just found that interesting.

I'll toxx right now. If at any time in Rick and Morty's adventures it is revealed that Rick is in fact an older Morty, ban me. Doesn't count if they suffer some kind of teleporter malfunction and become spliced with each other.
