Not really, all the improv bits are self contained, small sketches. If they wanted they could have written bits rather than improved it up.

Nah, he means the actual line, which was something like "Boy, these commercials sure have a loose, improvisational feel."

If any of you have Periscope (phone app, twitter video), Justin Roiland was posting videos from comic con, drunk in his hotel, waiting in lines and so on. I don't know if he posts anymore after comic con, but he is pretty funny and he breaks into Rick and Morty randomly.

I was amazed to hear on the commentary that the "improvisational tone" line was a late addition. The whole episode hinges on it, surely.

It's not the funniest joke in the episode but my god does it tie the whole thing together.

They even mention in the DVD commentary that it's a critical line because it "invites the viewer in" Harmon loved it.

Every moment a character is off screen is an opportunity for ball fondling. With multiple universes it's guaranteed to be happening. That is truly the genius of this show, they've given themselves this great framework for unlimited ball fondling action at any time.

I'm one of those who just discovered and binged through this and absolutely loved it. It kills me that this only got 10 episodes and is brilliant, but other shows out there that seem like trash get 2 or 3 times the episodes. Even the intro music feels perfect. It had moments where I was annoyed a bit, but I don't know a show that doesn't. It made up for it with great moments and got some deep thoughts across amazingly well, kind of like Adventure Time does, in amongst the silliness.

I've really enjoyed this, Adventure Time, Metalocalypse, Futurama, Simpsons (I know... still watch it, though and that guest gag is what got me to finally watch R&M), and Bojack Horseman. I've not cared for South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burgers and a few others. So, is there something to recommend to go through in a similar vane?

I did start the first episode of Gravity Falls, wasn't too in to it, but haven't got back to it yet. I'll try to give it a shot, though.

This is super loving minor but it bugs me when this series devolves into Family Guy style jokes. Only two of them stand out, the Native American at the end of season 2 ep 1 and the Cape Fear scene at the end of the Titanic episode. They just seem so lazy and bad compared to everything else in the shows.

I think the joke would have worked better if the deer did the nod and not the indian. No redeeming the cape fear joke though that was a ripoff of a family guy style joke ripping off a simpsons joke.

It's a slow burn. It starts out extremely different from how it finishes. It starts off like some christian programming taken to its logical extreme. It ends up dark and soulful.
No if you start here and go back the tone whiplash is going to be insane. If you stick through it I would say it's worth it.

This is like the third last episode.

Yeah basically this. The early episodes are kind of just a parody of Davey and Goliath, Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver style mid-90s Christian/Family values style shows. The tone started getting progressively darker through the first couple seasons as it showed how hosed up everyone was under the Happy Christian Community facade. The 2nd season finale was particularly dark and depressing compared to everything before it. The Adult Swim higher ups loved the s2 finale and told Dino to go ahead and just go as dark and hosed up as he can get with the next season. The episode linked in Dino's twitter post was apparently the one that got AS's staff to go back on that idea, say it was just "too depressing," and stopped production, forcing Dino to cut out I think about 1/3rd of the planned season to give it some sort of ending.
