hmm i've watched every episode but have no recollection of this [/stoner]

on that note i'm rewatching from season 1. v v funny but also helping to put in perspective, now confident there is no drop-off in season 3

one thing that got a lot better is rick's ad-libbing

Enjoyed the last couple of episodes but disagree that this season is any better than the previous ones. The first couple of eps of s1 are a bit 'finding its feet' but other than that it's gold

Last nights ep was pretty dece. The funniest thing for me tho was something happening in the background for 5 seconds - House Hunters! I almost died laughing, and it was such a dumb joke.

i wanted to spend a little more time with the Truth Tortoise.

More Tortoise!

Just saw Total Rickall, what a dark, hilarious - but also dark - show this is.

sandman references wrt truth tortoise very nerdy
loved that the punchline to mindblowers was that summer is THE TRUE PUPPETMASTER

spotted by my wife:

try that again, evol j

Rick breaks fourth wall often. Morty and Summer were subtly approaching this in the new one.

I guess I'm thinking of when he said "Save it for Youtube" or whatever the quote was.

Harmon suggested "Interdimensional Cable" was gonna be their "Treehouse Of Horror" so I guess they gave up on that idea.

this wasn't the world's most mind blowing ep but it was a very clever way of doing a 'clip show of clips you haven't seen' ep lol

Harmon and co. did a similar thing in the third season of Community

I guess it was the inverse of Total Rickall which was a clip show of clips that even the characters on the show never saw.

my favorite part was the light switch joke. one of those jokes you might hear in a bar, but with extra wtfness.

the part with Morty using the magnet to attract hot girls was hilarious only cos it was painfully obv what he was going to do the moment he started inching towards the machine

xpost lol yeah "grab a shovel".

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 viewers head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Rick & Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎

and here is where the show gets ruined

...it's on his dicc

The shift toward that stuff has been amazing - it's an Adult Swim stoner cartoon for fuck's sake.

can't wait for the "I liked Rick and Morty PRIOR to Pickle Rick, Posers" Reddit

he spells personal "personnel" :-/

Maybe I'm naive to how comically pathetic people can be, but that post and a good chunk of the stuff posted on the ilx Reddit thread totally come off as fake.

yeah circa it's a good pt - it seems like some level of trolling

idk I had someone in earnest tell me that if I didn't think he was "one hell if an intellectual" that I could go get fucked

this one has to be trolling, but probably it's based on moronic superiority comments people have actually said when talking about the show

for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons.

This cant be a serious thing right

and that's the wayyyyyyy the news goes

could be faaaaakkkkke
but since immersing myself in right wing memes and learning about incels and shit i have completely lost perspective.

well, if you guys would bother to read down in the comments...

that's the original comment they're making fun of. no idea if that one is for real or not tho.

i don't want to know anything about hardcore fans of this show unless they are ITT or my IRL pals, it'll just ruin it

God, those 2 men need a fucking wash.

R&M-haters on twitter have grown moderately louder in the past 2-3 weeks.

Over/under 25% of those people actually watch the show?

I'll take the under

there's also this

Well that is pretty gross.

Not that it matters but Jessica Gao is one of the best writers on the show, responsible for Pickle Rick among others

boooooo

"i'm a beetle. Paul is dead."?

this show is like it's always sunny in philadelphia to me; it's def funny but it only has one mode and the energy is always exactly the same, so it's just tiresome to watch

O look who it is

this show is like it's always sunny in philadelphia to me; it's def funny but it only has one mode and the energy is always exactly the same, so it's just tiresome to watch

I like this show a good bit, but I get this.

Er, I’d be a little more generous, just is one that I can only do in 1-2 episode stretches.
