i'm mr meeseeks look at me rick and morty thread

Had to look up the nearly inaudible thing Rick said while watching 9/11: "They're gonna use this as an excuse to take away our freedom!"

Not the funniest episode, but probably the craziest one they've done

prob not lasting very long but

It was good. Hopefully they can keep it up.

Good ep. I now have high expectations for the next season.

the comments are worth reading

i also had no idea 1) this was a thing, 2) the whole show was created as a sophomoric mike and ike style back to the future satire, 3) so much teabagging

Excellent episode.

Trying to watch this from the very start but the pilot is such utter horseshit that I'm very tempted to not continue. Is there a DRASTIC improvement?

Yes. Drastic.

so much teabagging

it is almost as if they thought that the very idea of teabagging was hilarious in itself and its hilarity was inexhaustible, like some frigging eternal flame. they were wrong.

it gets better but i think a lot of charm was there from the beginning. (and it's actually the kind of thing i'd be surprised if imago liked it)

context: i think bojack horseman is fucking brilliant, i like some adult swim and uh idk i can't watch family guy, which this resembles (observation courtesy tt)

tried 3 eps (including Meeseeks) and yeah this isn't for me (tho nor is Bojack)

I would be surprised if u didn't like this show, lj

it's too vulgar for lj

You gotta get to at least the simulation episode.

it's so prog, though. also i seem to recall it starting out way more douchey in a Family Guy way, which it totally shakes off

Later episodes help establish their universe a lot better. Once I understood it, the pilot and every other episode became a lot more engaging.

Family Guy is unwatchable.

bojack is far more grounded and kind-hearted than rick and morty, tho rick and morty is more laugh out loud funny. Besides being two excellent animated shows, I don't really see many similarities between the two.

Bojack is devastating. imo R&M is slightly lighter subject matter.

I sort of think if you don't dig the pilot at least a bit you won't dig the rest of it. I thought the pilot was great.

the second episode had Scary Terry and robot dogs ("Where are my testicles, Summer?") so if you don't get on board there I don't know what to tell you.

I loathed the pilot. Couldn't get on board with the show until Mr Meeseeks.

I agree that meeseeks is where it takes off. the vocal tics take a lot of getting used to.

The pilot was a little rough, but Scary Terry got me hooked. "Awwwww, bitch!" was a turning point.

pilot's fine, but it's difficult to get a solid read on the show from one episode. i mean, you shouldn't be getting "family guy" out of it...

kid has daydream of fondling girl's breasts, but oh no! he is fondling his teacher's moobs! the lolz! then loads of bum and poo jokes coz lol bum and lol poo

will give it more chances but that was a very, very inauspicious opening gambit

Later episodes do focus more on the meta science fictional than the scatalogical.

xp five more minutes of this and I'm gonna get mad!

Not my fault this is happening

I'm glad to know that you're above any and all scatalogical types of humor. Bully for your evolved attitude toward poop and boobs

Rick Potion No. 9.

that was the episode where i realized this show was amazing. it's a p ridiculous episode but they slow things down at the end and it is nothing short of fantastic.

Pilot charmed me by setting up the premise of the Doc/Marty relationship where Doc is a raging drunk who pulls Marty out of bed in the middle of the night for some insane adventure he's caught himself up in. Which alone is pretty funny and engaging enough to outweigh "moob" jokes or whatever that I don't even remember.

IDK, pilot episodes are tricky because it seems like anyone getting into a successful, well-loved show once it's established approaches them sneering, arms crossed, and all IMPRESS ME pretty much always.

Show me what you got!

I went into the show via the simulation episode and worked backwards. that worked out pretty well.

Jerry's B-plot in the simulation episode is my favorite family storyline of the series.

You're now listening to earth radio. Here's "Human Music."

My man!

when the generic guy kept saying "my man" i LOLed cos I imagined Big HOOS saying it....

Please save us all and this thread and quit watching now lj

Although the "Jerry daycare" b-plot is also pure gold, as is "Jerry and Beth hit a deer."

LJ i love you but i really don't think this show is for you.

i saw the pilot and first couple of eps but quickly lost interest. "Back to the Future But Drunk" as a premise is not very interesting.

haha i like that premise

total rickall i think is my fav episode of anything tbf

Human music. I like it!

FFS, "Back to the Future but drunk" doesn't exactly do justice to where this show goes, was just the initial hook for me in the first episode. But tbr that probably is enough of a premise to build a funny cartoon tv show, fuiud.

I am clearly an idiot for not recognising the back to the future link. Great show, the micro universes one in the second series had me it stitches.

my brother and sil dressed as marty + jennifer for purim and their baby as doc and we realized that they could've just as easily have been morty, summer + rick.

TINY Rick

aw :) rick and mordy!

I didn't figure out the BTTF thing until I stumbled across the first short.
