10.19.17 | This show is decent but it has the worst fans. Worse than all music fans put together. Yes I'm including Tool fans and Juggalos among them.

10.19.17 | At least Tool fans don't come up to you and shout "You must've been h i g h." |

10.19.17 | pretty terrible fans ya but the show rules. total rickall may be my number 1, and i gotta say i loved both inter dimensional cable eps |
brainmelter
10.19.17 | they all good but I felt the 3rd season was a little too self aware. like when they were delivering a joke sometimes they knew it would become a meme. idk why that bothers me |
Gyromania
10.19.17 | You know what else it has, granny? The worst haters. Who cares about a show's following; judge the show itself |
DrMaximus
10.19.17 | I'll never understand why they didn't end the season with the ricklantis mixup |

10.19.17 | Season 3 was really good |

You're basically shoehorning like half of the under-50-yo Canadian population into that scathing statement. |
Gyromania
10.19.17 | Not to mention you shouldn't be concerned with terrible fans |
Gyromania
10.19.17 | There are really good fans out there. Huge fans - industrial-sized ones you can buy at Costco |

10.19.17 | It's a great show. Fuck both the haters and people who use it to jack themselves off.
Decent list btw |

10.20.17 | hm i think 2 and 3 are the best |
hal1ax
10.20.17 | is lawnmower dog the one that plays on the inception gimmick where rick and morty enter that multi-layered dream sequence and encounter that freddy kreuger-lookin guy who's constantly saying 'bitch' ? if so, that shit is fcking hilarious |
DrMaximus
10.20.17 | Agreed bitch |
hal1ax
10.20.17 | those halves don't belong together, bitch !!! |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | I didn’t read the entire list but I feel like for all those episodes you say “not the most original plot” to, you don’t realise they’re largely all meant as parodies. |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | “they all good but I felt the 3rd season was a little too self aware. like when they were delivering a joke sometimes they knew it would become a meme. idk why that bothers me”
I don’t get people who say this. How is season 3’s joke about szechuan sauce (a joke both meant to represent Rick’s meaningless existence as well as an inside joke making fun of roiland’s obsession with the sauce that is never, ever mentioned again) somehow more “self-aware” or “deliberately a meme” than the first season’s “wubba lubba dub dub! Haha that’s my catchphrase get it guys isn’t that what thw stooges guy used to say that’s my catchphrase now it’s gonna catch on” and “wubba lubba dub dub haha remember when i first said that i’m saying it again it’s my catchphrase” and then birdperson going through a plotline explaining the memeline.
If anything in season 3 they STOPPED trying to milk how self-aware they were of the virality of throwaway jokes. |
Dewinged
10.20.17 | I am finishing season 1 now and I am loving it. |

10.20.17 | yea i'm halfway through season 1. loving this show tbh. probably going to binge the rest this weekend. |

10.20.17 | Nice to see some season 3 love, if only to balance out some of the ridiculous flack it got.
My ranking would be completely different to this btw, but you make good points, and clearly put a lot of thought into it. You represent one of the more thoughtful, less insufferable members of the R&M fandom. |
Rowan5215
10.20.17 | szechuan sauce (a joke both meant to represent Rick’s meaningless existence as well as an inside joke making fun of roiland’s obsession with the sauce that is never, ever mentioned again)
I want this to be a meme now |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | hes half right, but lol. |
Snake.
10.20.17 | fanbase practically ruined the show for me |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | then maybe you should take a break from the internet, because the cringey part of the fanbase is the minority. most people who like it are just regular ass people. |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | "I want this to be a meme now"
"hes half right, but lol."
I'm not trying to seem pretentious or ridiculous with my explanation of the joke there, I only elaborated there because I meant to say the joke actually had significance as a character arc as well as significance behind the scenes because it was making fun of Roiland, whereas the wubba lubba dub dub joke actually had no point but to be a tried and true Stooges reference that almost every big cartoon in the past twenty+ years has done, but was pushed far more as a "self-aware" "meme" than the former.
Fuck I'm sounding like that copy/paste about rick and morty now |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | 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 viewer's 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. |
Futures
10.20.17 | show is way too smart for me. the complex humor such as pickle rick completely went over my head. it's a show that really makes u think (large if legitimate) |

10.20.17 | "because the cringey part of the fanbase is the minority."
but a looooooooooot of people like this show so even the minority includes a looooooooooooooot of people, and hot damn there are a lot of crappy rick fans out there. |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | @adolf: that's more or less exactly what i was saying. the character arc thing i mention isn't in relation to the sauce, it's that for the episode they needed a dumb joke to justify the plot of the episode, which in turn is a character choice for rick. the joke itself wasn't the point.
i'm sounding like a mad conspiracy theorist now but i swear the characters on the show have personalities ! ± §§ |
Futures
10.20.17 | just look at the mcdonalds shit that's some of the most embarrassing shit ever |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | tbh the first time i actually ever saw any inkling of an annoying fanbase was with the mcdonald's thing recently. before then the only person i'd ever seen talk about the show was my friend who showed it to me when the first season came out.
that also said the only website i visit is this one |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | "I don't think adults should watch cartoons"

Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | really? i feel like cartoons have historically always been more appropriate for adults. |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | i do agree there that heavy metal is a distinctly adolescent thing tho |
Futures
10.20.17 | Nicolas von Nuclearrape |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | because they read an article once saying that people who like heavy metal were statistically more likely to have a high IQ and now they think they are superior manchildren than the rest of the world.
but in my opinion the charm of metal is how childish and ridiculous it is |
Astral Abortis
10.20.17 | does that actually happen? |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | i decided to go with a more politically correct name, its Nuclearpiss now. very adult of me, six knows! |

10.20.17 | Lol glad this blew up without me having to fan the flames
Yeah guys I'm actually really new to the show and only really started getting into it the last couple months so I was thinking about doing a ranked list while watching it and thinking a little more in depth than I would otherwise. I'm sure my opinions will change overtime but this is what someone new to the show thinks about it at this point!
Also I'm really disappointed no one's mentioned the puns (I was really proud of the "remember us to life" one) |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | wow six, you sure do type fast. i think you should chill out though. |

10.20.17 | why does no one love Interdimensional Cable 2, there's a fucking Plumbus in there for god's sake. |

Pickle rick is my favourite, but the show can hardly do wrong
Season 3 is best [3] |

10.20.17 | @Butcher thanks dude! Pickle Rick can only get better in my eyes, I'm sure it will on repeated viewings... Glad to see some Season 3 love here, I didn't even know people didn't like it until I posted this! |

10.20.17 | Just finished season three and episode 9 had way too many current pop culture references. Felt cheap. Mentioned Facebook, 'Fake News', and something else that displeased me.

S1
S3
All pretty good. |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | Vindicators was pretty great, Pickle Rick was fun but one of the lesser episodes. |
neekafat
10.20.17 | Loved Pickle Rick and I don't get the Season 3 hate |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | i generally dont either. the Mad Max episode wasnt very good but i thought the rest of the episodes were on par with the rest of the series, or at least very close. |
dbizzles
10.20.17 | I don't think the season was as good overall, but still liked it. |
kris.
10.20.17 | i need to get caught up and watch s3 but man im so apathetic rn with this fanbase |
ONEPUNCHMAN
10.20.17 | They’re really not tho. Any show that actively makes tries to make me feel bad for a failing family dynamic and or Rick and Morty’s conflicting relationship while they contain fucking Rick slaughting rats as a goddamn pickle or ends with Logic fucking dabbing respectively fails at that. No episode of this show is inherently bad per say, but both of these are bottom ten for sure. |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | I dont understand how some of you are letting the fanbase ruin your enjoyment of the show. I really dont. Im not sitting there thinking of the fans while im watching. |
Chortles
10.20.17 | I agree with Christ ^^ :~)
also what interdimensional cable 2 was so good??? |
neekafat
10.20.17 | Wtf is wrong with drama in a comedy? Why should you feel bad for caring about characters now that the show actually treats them with respect? The contrast makes it work all the better

idk man just seeing rick & morty everywhere's kinda burning me out on the show without even watching it. |
Deathconscious
10.20.17 | A lot of the time i find that drama in comedies is more poignant than in dramas. And i mean real drama, not the light drama most comedies throw in out of necessity. |
neekafat
10.20.17 | Agreed Adolf, and that's the bridge I think they transcended in Season 3. It was almost as potent as say, Futurama |
TheSleepys
10.21.17 | I knew this show was over for me when someone on my facebook posted a status about how they were depressed and it said "feeling Wubbalubbadubdub right now." |

...but yknow, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty... |
Typhoon24
10.28.17 | love the show but didn't really care for their original songs. i like Gerry Rafferty in season 1 and the flight of the conchords guy and Nine Inch Nails for the finale of 2.
rest is kinda cheesy, feel me? especially get schwifty |
neekafat
10.31.17 | The best one was where they had a thrash metal band cover the end credits theme but yeah other than that I'm not a big fan.
Nowhere near some of the Futurama and Simpsons originals |
hal1ax
10.31.17 | rick potion #9 should be higher tbh. |
DrMaximus
10.31.17 | One of my favs |
hal1ax
10.31.17 | yea man. the end of that ep is like the show's best existential crisis |
neekafat
10.31.17 | Yeah honestly I might have underrated that one, it's def one of the most memorable |
hal1ax
10.31.17 | also i reaaaally like auto erotic assimilation. think it's one of the most emotionally turbulent eps |
ArsMoriendi
10.31.17 | Total Rickall is my favorite for sure
|
hal1ax
10.31.17 | just finished the ricklantis mixup. such a good ep |

Typhoon24
11.05.17 | the episode where they need the multiverse neck-brace and rick risks his life for morty is tied with season 3 episode 1 |
neekafat
11.05.17 | what |
neekafat
11.05.17 | Oh shit yeah that's a great one
Fun fact, the creators of the show were disappointed by that one actually |
Typhoon24
11.05.17 | yeah, they talked about how it was impossible to film a multiverse on screens like that
regarding writing, for the most part it's dan harmon, who loves the dr. who "man who is always one step ahead of everyone else" but is horribly flawed style, vs Ryan Ridley likes pointing out bullshit and hypocrisy in society in subtle ways (dog episode lol) and get emotionally deep. roiland then shows up and usually it ends up going the way roiland wants. not a bad formula |
neekafat
11.06.17 | That's super interesting dude, I love Dr Who and I really notice the influences here but Ridley's stuff is usually my style. I wonder who would end up on top if I facotred them into my ranking |
Minushuman24
10.01.18 | Is this too old to comment on? I don't care, just finally watched all of it
Mortynight Run = 1
Jerry Daycare is the best joke in the entire series |
neekafat
10.01.18 | I love that sideplot but the rest of the episode was pretty lame |
ArsMoriendi
10.01.18 | Rick and Morty is okay, pretty overrated, but Total Rickall is easily a classic episode of TV. |
Minushuman24
10.01.18 | I even like the A story of that one, Fart's song is awesome and Krombopolus Michael is just the greatest.
And yeah Total Rickall is probably my second favorite episode, it's so so good |
neekafat
10.01.18 | gotta rewatch that one tbh |
Space Jester
10.01.18 | Vindicators 3 is the worst and Interdimensional Cable 2 is great |
