If you haven't seen this before, here's a short mini-series that Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon made in the past. In terms of humor, it's sorta like watching a proto-Rick and Morty, swapping out the dimension-hopping for degenerate Dr Seuss rejects. I'll probably watch it a few more times while waiting for the rest of season three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urB-lCSruoo

I'll probably watch it a few more times while waiting for the rest of season three. I remember this when it aired. Harmon was pretend-pissed in the host segments every week because people kept voting to bring it back. He may have been pissed for real too, considering Farty McSimmons and other stuff that may have been attempts to kill it. Only Operation Kitten Calendar lasted longer.

There can't be infinite Ricks. In the episode where they Cronenburg up the whole world and escape to the dimension where they just died, Rick says that there's only like 3 or 4 of these "freebies" left. If there were infinite Ricks, there would be infinite dimensions for "freebies."

I think he meant there's only 3-4 worlds left (that he knows of) that are similar enough to the one they came from.

WampaLord posted:There can't be infinite Ricks. That's not necessarily true, even if infinite Ricks exist. Say you have infinite ricks, 1% of them are dead. That still means only 1 in 100 Ricks can jump to a dead Rick dimension, even if there are infinite of them. Pretty sure there's a riddle involving an infinite hotel about this or something.

There was one Acceptable TV skit that cracked me up all the time, I think it was called Drunk Home Makeover, and I still think about it and laugh. Has it survived anywhere on the internet?

Honestly, Jerry is a huge jerk in a way that's hard to feel sympathetic for.. Unlike Rick, who you simultaneously want to get angry at and root for, Jerry is just... he's a sponge. He doesn't contribute to anyone else's being, is neurotically self centered, and rarely considers the consequences of his actions. Yeah, he's shown some examples of acting in someone else's benefit, but after his selfish or needy behavior has put him in there. I've seen people effectively going "Rick ruined his life when Jerry was finally happy", except... Beth was emotionally dependent on him at that point, which he'd called unhealthy when it was Rick benefiting from it, and his new better job and life was basically dependent on the colonization of Earth. Jerry may not actively try to screw people over, but he's cowardly and selfish enough to be just as bad.

Considering the way Summer was conceived, it sounds like their relationship started on the rocks and never really left. At most, Rick was probably a catalyst or accelerant that made the inevitable happen earlier.

Beth has been looking for the flimsiest excuse to bail on Jerry forever. Remember Anatomy Park, when Jerry was uncool with his mom banging someone while his dad watched from the cost? Before it started raining blood Beth started talking about how she wasn't sure if her marriage could survive him being uncomfortable with it. (I know this was in croenenberg world, I don't care) That marriage had been coasting on momentum and a few sputters keeping them together from the beginning. There really wasn't much more they could do with Beth and Jerry without retreading old ground.

There's a cut scene from Ricksty Minutes after alternate Beth and Jerry tearfully hug, Rick freezes Jerry and says "I saw that guy bothering you, I brought bird seed!" He's very much responsible.

My view is that Beth and Jerry's marriage wasn't happy before Rick showed up, but his presence was what caused it to flame out completely.

WampaLord posted:There can't be infinite Ricks. What about other ricks jumping to other dimensions though? That's where cardinality of ricks comes in. But it doesn't matter since as we keep saying, "central finite curve" is pretty definitive that there's not infinite ricks. There's infinite worlds but in most of them rick never was or died already. Cojawfee posted:I think he meant there's only 3-4 worlds left (that he knows of) that are similar enough to the one they came from. And they have to be not just a similar world with Rick, but in that episode he was talking about pristine universes where rick and morty existed but just recently died, allowing them to slip in un-noticed. Which is much more rare.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:There's exactly as many Ricks as there needs to be to suit the purposes of comedy and plot I mean, sure, it's fiction. But at that point, why discuss anything? "I loled at the last Rick and Morty. Did you lol? [Page 2 of 2]" My theory on Jerry and Beth: "he stuck around." Jerry is Rick's antithesis, not just because he's unambitious and stupid, but because he's extremely forthcoming with validation and easily controlled. Pregnant teenage Beth probably liked that because Jerry would never, ever do to Summer what Rick did to her. The fact Jerry is lovely and a bad match is a realization she's had since, but ~17 years ago she probably lacked that clarity. And sunk cost is a hell of a thing.
