Adolescent Morty Jr running away from home and yelling "God doesn't exist!" made me laugh pretty drat hard. How can anyone think that was a boring episode? Also you jaded motherfuckers, Interdimensional Cable II was pretty funny. Maybe it's the worst episode of the season but it's still a good episode and I wouldn't mind if they did an improv episode every season.

Gazorpazorp was a pretty bad episode but it did have that moment when Rick is rooting around in the robot and "nearly touched one of Morty's loads." Which made me laugh but if nothing else is fascinating for having gotten past S&P.

I guess it did do some good things,. I just hate that episode as much as this thread hates Cable II.

I still use "I'm here if you need to talk" a lot. Also, the death by boulder gag gets me every time.

"It's just...it's just called Two Brothers!  " is pure television magic no matter how many times I watch it.

I would also nominate Rick diving through nothingness to grab the collar thing for one of my favourite jokes. "gently caress you, God! Not today, bitch!"

Raising Gazopazorp is the only episode I'd say I don't like in the series so far. It just seemed like a hackneyed premise that didn't have enough of a twist or anything to it to make it great. I did like the whole Zardoz part of it and Morty's parents making GBS threads all over his parenting attempts, but overall I didn't like it much.

Doofus Rick is by far my favorite bit-part character, because he is actually smart and sweet. I love the part where he's explaining the coins to Jerry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB_oU68Q9zA

If Doofus Rick weren't embroiled in the Council of Rick's Rickery, he could be the best children's science show host ever.

What's your favorite episode in the show's run thus far, and why? A Rickle in Time. Might not have been the funniest episode, but the idea behind it was super cool. The way it was visually realised was also stunning. Who's your favorite side character? Fart. Basically because of the song. Do you have a favorite joke/gag/line from the show? How Did I Get Here? in Interdimensional Cable 2. I'm also partial to the planet on a cob. What's your least favorite episode, and what could have been done to redeem it in your eyes? Raising Gazorpazorp. Simply because it has left the least impression on me.

Tuxedo Jack posted:I mean, just at a cursory glance, there appears to be a lot of parity between favorites and least favorites. Many episodes have appeared on both ends of the spectrum from different users. I think that's pretty cool. Yeah, but there seems to be a decent majority opinion forming. Really all the episodes are good, "least favorite" doesn't necessarily mean bad, the worst Rick and Morty episode beats the best episode of a lot of lesser shows, so it's really hard to pick and peoples' slightly differing opinions can cause their choices to vary wildly. Steve Yun posted:Also you jaded motherfuckers, Interdimensional Cable II was pretty funny. Maybe it's the worst episode of the season but it's still a good episode and I wouldn't mind if they did an improv episode every season. Just said it, and some people are outright saying they straight up hate it, but least favorite doesn't automatically mean we hate the episode. Get Schwifty was my least favorite episode but I don't hate it, it's just the red headed step child.

One of my favorite lines was "To me it was all a bit like when Bugs Bunny fucks with the Opera singer for 20 minutes" I can't explain why. Maybe because it just really describes Rick really well?

My favorite scene comes a little bit after that line: Summer leaves and Rick suddenly decides he doesn't care about running a business anymore, so he sets the place on fire with people still inside. It sounds cruel when it's written out like that, but he does it in such an apathetic way that it's hilarious.

Just saw the finale. Ughhhhh. Maybe I'm alone here but for me every time the show tries to do an emotional or dark ending or anything of the sort to do with Rick it's been groan-inducingly terrible. This is a show with such a silly world with such loving rear end in a top hat protagonist that I feel it's impossible to do, especially how quickly they always try to do it. I can feel the show failing to manipulate me and it suuuuucks

Some folks don't handle complexity well. If a show's wacky and funny, then it should only be wacky and funny, how dare they try to do something interesting with the characters or reveal character or show growth!

Baltazar Robotnik posted:What makes you say that? It seemed played perfectly straight to me. I think almost everything played on adult swim always has some layer of "the joke is that we're even airing this at all", so stuff such as "a supposed comedy show having a serious emotional finale, that's unlike most television" can be a joke in itself.

If it had kept it at that level of crazy the whole way through, it would have been the best episode of the series.

I'm not saying it was terrible, but it does come across as a bit manipulative. A proper drama would spend at least the whole episode building up to that ending.

Rick spends the entire episode getting back with Unity and is eventually dumped by it. The buildup is Rick's clear attachment to it and Unity's realization that Rick is toxic to its existence. Rick gets dumped with a note and covers up his true feelings in front of his family, despite being internally devastated and as we see in the close, suicidal. I'm not sure where manipulative comes into play.

They're not tacked on or a drastic change in tone though. The show has always dealt with darker concepts.

This wacky high concept sci-fi comedy is attempting to examine its characters on a personal level and give them some emotional depth in order to keep the show from becoming stale, and that upsets people who never want the show to acknowledge that the nihilistic alcoholic that makes them laugh is actually a very sad individual.
