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)

Mr Poopybutthole's fate was sincerely heartbreaking.

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

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.

I will never not laugh at the "Summer, where are my testicles" scene.

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

"Get Schwifty" and "Raise the Posterior" were in the adventure game.https://youtu.be/rYX_UaXU4LE?t=41m22s

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.

anyway this episode was weak. nothing as inspired as the door commercial that keeps on going from the first infinite tv.
― aaaaablnnn (abanana), Wednesday, 23 September 2015 23:50 (eight years ago) link
the episodes focused on dick jokes and non-sequiturs are nowhere near as good as the ones that are myth building based

I thought both TV eps were kind of weak but I did appreciate the alien How It's Made. nailed the voiceover style and the background music so perfectly
(in the 1st one I liked the extended fake doors ad, and the ~emotional twist~ was strangely affecting the first time, but it didn't stand up to a 2nd viewing. also I always appreciate a moment of Belly nostalgia obv)

I love the alien names in this show. Shrimpy Pibbles, St. Gloopy Noops hospital, Andy Daly's character a while back being called Krombopulos Michael...just all of it.

Rick's speech note -- "(trail off) (crumple up note) (ad-lib)" -- killed me.

a few clunkers (please no more non sequitur alien tv episodes) but otherwise, really a solid season.

fwiw i thought the second infinite tv episode was much funnier the second time i saw it. i guess i just rlly like throwaway jokes. anyway is season 3 really a year and a half away like they said at the end of the show?

for those of you going through withdrawal, i'm here to say that the Rick and Morty comic is aces and worth trying.

I got about 2 minutes into that video before I realized what they were doing. That's awesome.
I binge watched season 2 a couple of weeks ago on Hulu and it was absolutely amazing. I keep telling my wife about it even though she very clearly does not GAF. "Total Rickall" and the Tiny Rick episode were better than pretty much anything else on television.

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
