last episode was every bad thing about harmon's style rolled into one: vapid sentimentality, pointless improvisational teenage blathering heavy on the pop culture references, fourth wall breaking, DEEP MEANING without meaning ("i eat breakfast every morning twenty yards from my rotting corpse")... it's been a mostly good and occasionally very good show until here but man do i hope they hold off on this penny arcade ish in the future

Oh, I fucking loved this episode. Might be my third favorite, after Meeeseeeks and the alien simulator.

lol i really liked this episode too - not sure i'd put it in my top 3 tho bc cronenberg ep was still better + this seemed more improv/pastiche which is great + hilarious but maybe not quite as masterful as some of the others?
― Mordy , Thursday, 20 March 2014 17:19 (ten years ago) link
Is this the one with the sex robot? That one is the first I actually disliked. The Marmaduke writer appearing at the end seemed very "Family Guy" and too many of the jokes relied on tired "battle of the sexes" tropes.
― Treeship, Thursday, 20 March 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link
no, this is the one w/ the tv + alternate reality device. i thought the conclusion was even a little affecting. and the improv commercials + shows were hilarious
― Mordy , Thursday, 20 March 2014 17:29 (ten years ago) link
yeah same here, found the ep v entertaining. dunno why but the whole fake doors thing, including r&m's bewilderement at whether it was an ad or a movie or reality tv, really got me.

I was hoping they'd stick with the spiderweb-pooping teddy bear a little longer.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 20 March 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
different strokes i guess? really really disliked this one; "family guy" comparisons felt painfully appropriate.

to me it sounded like a bunch of stoners in a room telling each other jokes and then having them animated

I liked it, but for those who don't, is it really fair to blame this on Harmon? I mean, the improvised "alien TV" thing is basically a half-hour version of the "alien news" gag from House of Cosbys...
― CAROUSEL! CAROUSEL! (Telephone thing), Thursday, 20 March 2014 18:09 (ten years ago) link
my few attempts at community made me fear this ep was what the whole series would be about but there's certainly blame to go around

aw rick is still watching ball fondlers when summer comes back.is it me or in just about every other episode the dad has something happen that makes him feel good about himself, feel competent/relevant, only to crushingly return hto his more usual mediocrity. apple ad campaign being a major success in the alien's virtual reality, he's some kind of survival hero protecting his daughter and wife, this time he's a big celebrity on pluto etc.also the opening & closing bits of butter robot wondeing about his purpose and summer & rick montage killed me.
― Jibe, Tuesday, 25 March 2014 19:16 (ten years ago) link
the butter robot opening just slayed me. "what is my purpose?" "you pass the butter" "oh my goddddddd" "welcome to the team, pal."

so we're only three episodes in, but this show is kind of consistently good now somehow. They dropped the Family Guy style cultural dada and are focusing on two or three clever ideas per ep and then engaging in adventure time style world building / character development. Hope they stay the course.
― let's not get too excited w/ the ouches (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 11 August 2015 07:52 (nine years ago) link
Yeah first three eps have been great, and the first episode might be my favorite thing they've done so far. The show's way better when it sticks to crazy ideas instead of pop culture refs. Futurama's the same way. They also need to cut back on the sentimental moments, they always feel thrown in and unearned. That's one thing Futurama did way better.

― nxd, Wednesday, 19 August 2015 09:12 (nine years ago) link
New season has hit it out the park every episode.I don't find the emotional/sentimental bits unearned at all; character is v much at the heart of this show, it's never just wacky adventures in space (tho it's that as well)

on the one hand i felt the giant heads host a reality show music contest... and the fate of the world is at stake! conceit was stale but on the other i must shamefully admit that i kinda like "get shwifty"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dicQ1N1R_Fo

― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 25 August 2015 03:39 (nine years ago) link
after my effusive praise upthread, shwifty felt like a comedown. its one of the weakest episodes of this or last season. I don't believe Rick would care too much about saving the world, morty's story didn't really add anything and the organised religion satire was route one of a kind that this show doesn't usually sink to. i wouldn't mind all this if the episode made me laugh but it missed that goal as well for me. it all felt a bit community s6. after 4 episodes of unadulterated joy they're due a coaster i suppose.

the one where they're just watching random TV tapped into something preternaturally funny for me. I could just watch that forever.

Didn't feel the last episode. I read the story "Microcosmic God" last year (also the inspiration of that Simpsons episode and that South Park episode). I think its ending hinted at recursively small worlds as well. It also has a creator who intentionally wiped out major portions of the micro population to have them evolve -- far darker than having them exercise to run a car battery. The show's B-plot was T2 kneecap shooting taken to a comedic extreme and I liked it.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Friday, 4 September 2015 22:31 (nine years ago) link
I really liked this one.

anyway this episode was weak. nothing as inspired as the door commercial that keeps on going from the first infinite tv.

the episodes focused on dick jokes and non-sequiturs are nowhere near as good as the ones that are myth building based

Other show sources say he’d derail pitches and interrupt with sophomoric non sequiturs like, “What if his brains were on the outside?”

I don't think there was a bad season.
The example I gave was to illustrate how silly it was at times which is why objecting to his sophomoric ideas was silly (as opposed to some of the much more heinous shit he's been accused of)

It had an overall great concept but was already getting into dimishing returns territory, putting aside the puerile shit like the abovementioned. There's only so much you can do with "ha ha we can just make up anything cos we broke the rules of physics" before it just starts getting confusing and repetitive.

yea the first few episodes I watched of this show got me pretty excited but once you see a bad episode you kinda lose all enthusiasm for it. definitely some funny bits but there's very much a "dude staring at you while he plays his favorite Family Guy clips" vibe to it
when I discovered Xavier: Renegade Angel one of my first thoughts (outside of "what the fuck?") was "this is what Rick and Morty was trying to do"...feel like you can't just commit halfway to this sort of thing
