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.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 19 September 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
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

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 😎

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

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

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

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

Ha, otm.
I'm still pacing my way through season 2, which has been great. I love the show's dedication to alien landscapes that look largely like (or actually are) butts, and also its hilarious lack of effort in naming characters or other aliens. Like, "This is my friend, uh, Gleep Glorp." Or "Mr. Poopybutthole."

I think the tone can actually shift pretty radically on this show between episodes, I don't find it nearly as one more as always sunny or say archer
It's also insane that these nerds have decided the show sucks now that women write it when the show is obviously the best its ever been
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Sunday, 24 September 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
Not that I have any yearning to see R&M go full South Park. But if they had an episode where they mocked/emasculated those “unfuckables” I would be massively amused.
