I usually start people on the episode I start on. Which for Rick and Morty would be Anatomy Park and for MST3K would be Cave Dwellers.

"These seeds aren't going to make it through customs unless they're in someone's rectum, Morty. They'll fall right out of mine. I've done this too many times, Morty, you're young, you've got your whole life ahead of you, your anal cavity is still taught yet malleable. You've gotta do it for grandpa, Morty! You've gotta put these seeds inside your butt."

Rexides posted:If you start people with the best episode, then the only way left for them is downhill. I hated the pilot, and it's still my least favorite episode of season 1. I watched the pilot when it first aired and decided this show wasn't for me. It wasn't until the season was over that I went back to give the second episode a shot. The run of Lawnmower Dog -> Anatomy Park -> M. Night Shaym-Aliens for me basically went "ok maybe this show isn't so bad" -> "hey this show is actually pretty good" -> "holy god how have I not been watching this show it is amazing?!!"

"They're not real robots, Morty, I meant they're cogs of the government!" I need to rewatch the pilot actually, my roommate and I just put on nearly every other ep from s01 but it. Honestly I think the pilot is better than Raising Gazorpazorp, just because its jokes are fresh as compared to the girls-don't-fart theme.

I watched the pilot first and it really didn't prepare me for what the series was going to be. It felt like it was going to be Futurama by way of South Park, and the pilot could have just been an uncommonly good episode of either show. It's really only Rick's unhinged rambling at the very end that gives a taste of anything uniquely Rick and Morty. The pilot's fine, most people who would like the series will probably be won over by it, but if you have to make a hard sell on someone who's jaded by cartoons and offensive comedy and ironic sci-fi, Lawnmower Dog has a lot more to offer without being too insane.

First episode I saw was the one with the child raping jellybean king. But what sold me on the series was the boobie buying line.

starkebn posted:I don't know about starting with it, but that is my favorite bit from all of the show so far. I just showed someone that one cold open with the butter robot, but then started them with the pilot afterward. Getting someone into it with short clips of individual jokes seems to work pretty well for me in introducing people to it. For me, I got overhyped before watching the show so the first couple episodes felt underwhelming at first (though I like them more after rewatches), but Anatomy Park was what sold me. On a dick joke, no less - my first huge laugh of the series was the giant dickshadow on the mountains.

I don't know why people don't like the pilot. It's a good episode. I've only shown the series to one other person and I just popped in the season one DVD and hit play. He was immediately interested ("Wait, this is a cartoon. That guy is drunk driving? This is the first episode?") and by the middle was totally hooked. The "take these seeds and shove them waaayyyy up your butthole" was the line that really got him. In my apparently unpopular opinion, lawnmower dog is the weakest episode of the series. Weird to me that people like that one so much more than the pilot. I guess it ends up following the structure of the show better than the pilot, but that just seems obvious given that the pilot is, well, a pilot.

Yeah, R&M isn't even close to pushing the boundaries of Standards and Practices on Adult Swim. Watch the last season of Moral Orel if you want to see what will make them blink.

Rick and Morty is on the content level of like, Family Guy or American Dad(TBS now I think?). And those shows exist on Fox without any problem. Although, Rick and Morty just hits you a little harder with the drama and great storytelling, which is why it's legit good and not edgy trash.

Gazorpazorp is the worst episode but it's a solid 7. Show remind me of original run Futurama in that there are varrying degrees of good but no bad episodes.

What the gently caress. The commentary is so good. Like half of season 1 episode 2 is beatboxing.

Also, the commentary track with Gabe Newell and writers from Valve Software was pretty good. Partly because it gave a different perspective, but mostly for Gaben's "I wonder where they got that idea" when Rick starts using his portal gun.

Superjail! was great, because the ultra violence was always super creative and well animated, and it never relied on it, having great writing throughout. Mr Pickles is literally "what if a dog was like I dunno SATAN or something??? what if he was really violent but people acted like he wasn't????!!?"

Nurse Bendy's season 3 episode (Alone) is probably the worst thing I've ever seen on TV and I love it so much basically I believe the story goes that Lazzo specifically requested that the show be as dark as possible, and starburns were like "got it chief" and they went way too far and Lazzo cancelled them midseason because it was way more than he expected Babe Magnet fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Jun 20, 2016 |

Babe Magnet posted:Nurse Bendy's season 3 episode (Alone) is probably the worst thing I've ever seen on TV and I love it so much And what's funny is that the "darkness" of that episode was essentially just backstory explaining why some of the characters in Morel Orel behave as oddly as they do. Of course that explanation is consistently 'life-wrecking trauma with almost no comedic potential", so yeah I suppose it was kinda dark!
