the conversations happen like- "Hey, Harold Ramis died." "What a bummer." "Did you ever watch the Ghostbusters cartoon?" "Yes/No?" "That guy who did the voice of Vankmen was great at doing a Bill Murry impression." "Hey, wasn't he the guy who did Garfield?" "He was." "Weird...and then Bill Murry played him in the movies!" "Hell yeah bro!" "Lets go gently caress something with feet!" Something like that, at least.

"It's just called Two Brothers" might have been the hardest I've laughed at a comedy for a long, long time. This show.

What's the name of the song that plays near the end when Beth and Jerry hug after seeing their alternate selves reunite? This was probably the happiest and sweetest episode of the series so far, I can only assume that means the next episode will be the most horrific and depressing. Oh well at least the family will always have fond memories of their vacation to "hamster in butt world"

That was unexpectedly sweet. I always like it when adult animated shows do heartwarming endings amid their largely cynical view of the world.Space Cadet Omoly posted:What's the name of the song that plays near the end when Beth and Jerry hug after seeing their alternate selves reunite?

This episode was so loving good I may well have lost my goddamn mind. The bit after the credits with Hamsters that Live In Peoples' Butts World was sublime. Also, with the end of this episode, I hope Beth and Jerry are a little happier with each other. Now they know that, no matter what achievements they might have made alone, their other selves were never happy and always considered their time together the greatest time of their lives

God that episode was clever. The dialogue explains why Summer in particular is such a statistical rarity compared to Jerry and Beth; she only exists in realities in which the car lost a tire and Jerry gets to talk the mom out of it. She can only exist in a reality where they both wind up resentfully marrying each other. Also ''I don't give a gently caress what you think, Jerry!'' Possibly my favorite, or up there with Rick Potion #9. I

I know, don't think about it but the whole Summer arc made no sense. Infinity is a pretty big number, it implies there's infinite universes where Summer is a pro skater with green hair and a billionaire or the like.

I guess the reason that Rick and Morty don't use the altern-goggles is that one knows about the scarcity of other versions and the other fears that this is the case. Presumably this is how Rick discovers new escape routes. I wonder if we're going to have to deal with other timeline Ricks trying to oust him from this (stolen) timeline?

Infinity is a pretty big number, it implies there's infinite universes where Summer is a pro skater with green hair and a billionaire or the like. From the eventual overlap between the goggle-view and the news broadcast, both are only able to pick up events from the "present" of each parallel universe. The infinite variations on Summer and Morty haven't had much time to differentiate from the common starting point of Beth and Jerry settling for each other, aside from outliers like New Cronenberg World. This episode also brought in the idea that Rick's fourth wall breaks aren't necessarily out of character. With infinite universes and ability to look between them, you are always being watched. Everyone has an audience, and he puts on a show for his. Doubtful Guest posted:I wonder if we're going to have to deal with other timeline Ricks trying to oust him from this (stolen) timeline? Since the local Rick is dead, I don't think any other would have a reason to give a drat.

Notice how he has it ready in his pocket too, for emergencies - usually when he gives something to the family he goes and fetches it from the garage first.

The only other way I can read it is she actually was seeing happy stuff, she was apparently having fun with the family playing board games. The stuff the parents watched also ended with them back together, but it does feel like kind of a stretch.

Argue posted:Seal My Fate by Belly. Thank you! I'm pretty sure the reason we didn't see many alternate versions of Summer is because they only looked at about 3 universes (the one where Beth go an abortion, one where they're playing shoots and ladders, and one where they're playing yahtzee). I'm sure there's a universe out there where she doing something cool and different like moving to the southwest and, I dunno, doing something with turquoise.

Presumably this is how Rick discovers new escape routes. In fact, it is!  Three details here I like: - Things have been planned enough that we see Rick using the goggles before the episode in which they're the central plot. - The goggles have that same red cross-dimension crystal that the cable box now uses. - Since we've now established that the googles see out of the eyes of your alternate self, this means that, to find the reality in which everything was fine by alternate-Rick was dead, Rick had to watch himself die, from his own perspective.

Woden posted:Sure, but in this case the grasping device is attuned to finding dollars. Maybe it's bad at it but it apparently worked well enough for the parents. Occupation's analogy was spot on for explaining why she kept selecting versions that were totes normal compared to winning the lottery chances of interesting timelines where aliens made her a queen. The concept/joke is that Jerry and Linda are picking timelines at random and find themselves successful in almost all of them because it turns out staying together was an extremely rare outcome. As someone who has actually traveled to an alternate reality four times (ugh, dont ask) just trust me on this one. That's just how they work.

For every universe where she's a billionaire/pro skater/alien religious icon there's a thousand where she's playing board games with her family and a million where she was never born, because she's still a teenager and teenagers' lives usually aren't that interesting when viewed from the outside.

Did anybody else notice the version of Game of Thrones where Tyrion is normal-size, everyone else is a dwarf, and they all still hate him? I like the randomness of this show so much.

Haha, I'm on my second viewing and I didn't notice before how after pouting off from the kitchen, Summer stomps into the living room and in front of the TV needlessly (to get Rick and Morty's attention) before going to her room. The animators are great with the little touches.
