Are you really going to worry about what someone that takes their user name from Ender’s Game thinks?

Best Part of the Episode:

I do enjoy the therapist’s speech when Rick finally shows up.

That or Auto Erotic Assimilation. The one where Rick meets up with Unity again and falls so far into his own depravity that Morty and Summer realize he is a horrible person. And the episode ends with Rick failing to kill himself because he knows he is a horrible unhappy person.

Wow, i mean, yes it’s a good episode because you see the side of Rick he always tries to hide and all that you said, also how the dynamic of the family really goes but wow! you really hate the show.

It’s not going for the same premise as Futurama(smarter, science comedy) and South Park(brutal satire of the modern world). It’s a family drama in comedic, cartoon, gross-out form.

I recently discovered there was a fun comic miniseries “Rick and Morty vs Dungeons and Dragons,” and there’s a really great moment in the last issue. They’re on a planet where D&D is real and Rick isn’t the DM anymore, there’s an actual Dungeon Master deity in charge, so he can’t cheat to rig everything in his favor…

You must be a ton of fun at parties.

It’s not a smart show because it’s rooted in real-world science, it’s a smart show because it trusts its audience with more esoteric concepts or niche references.

AGREE!!!!

Does its recurring nihilistic commentary (via Rick) tend to appeal to a pseudo edgy teen demographic that think they are much smarter than they actually are...? Sure.

It certainly belongs in the list. It deconstructs Rick’s character effectively, and somehow has an author-surrogate repeat the message without being obnoxious, and still manages to be deliriously entertaining and wonderfully animated.

It may seem like a stupid episode based on the title but you hit the nail on the head. It’s a great exploration of who Rick is and what he puts his family through all because of his behavior.

It’s narratively clever, upending conventions and is one of the better sci fi parodies out there.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal…

Absolutely agreed.

That was my thought as well.  Is Dracula ever *really* gone?

If I can speak on Heather’s behalf for a sec, I don’t think she meant to disagree with you regarding the complexities of South American drug trade, so much as the very “Speedy Gonzalez” cartoon-style stereotypes a lot of the villains are portrayed as in the cutscenes.

OK, that’s it. From here on out, I am casting Tim Curry as the voice of Mr. Sinister in my mind. Because he is a cinematic treasure!

Really no sympathy for the humans since the only reason for the existence of KrKoa is because the humans will not police their own (as the XMEN mutants constantly do) and allow rogue /govt sanctioned and covert operations to constantly impinge on the mutants' basic human rights. I mean it took The Holocaust for the…
