_ **BEST EPISODE OF ALL TIME, IMO** _ A Rickle in Time **The Wedding Squanchers** : This was hard. I was THIS CLOSE to making this the NEW number one. It was very close, because this was A FANTASTIC episode. The writing of this one was THE BEST EVER…and the only reason A Rickle in Time still is number one is because that one was juuuuust a bit more of a clever mindfuck type of episode. This one was much more simple, yet amazingly written. Really, these two episodes could be tied… but this one was just, like, one point not as pleasing as the first one was, which was almost perfect. This episode was NEAR perfect, how about that? Anyways, good cliffhanger, great soundtrack, amazing story, a twist, cleverness, intelligence…this show brings it all…and this episode almost made number one. Really great one.

I just browsed through the season 3 episodes, holy shit this one is a banger. I think “The Ricklantis Mixup” is a safe bet though. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > I just browsed through the season 3 episodes, holy shit this one is a banger. I know, there is only one episode of the season that I find is kind of flat. And as iconic as Pickle Rick is, the episode is kind of mid. As a cool story maybe, The Rickshank Rickdemption was the first episode I watched due to it airing for 24 hours straight on the Cartoon Network as an April Fools gag. I went and binged the first two seasons and my DVR has recorder every new episode since. ---

“Morty’s Mind Blowers” is a fun episode. ---

> [@pirviii](#): > > I know, there is only one episode of the season that I find is kind of flat. And as iconic as Pickle Rick is, the episode is kind of mid. Oh, agreed. Pickle Rick is mildly amusing, which is kind of the lower end of quality for me with this show. ---

It doesn’t even matter how good it was to begin with, when it creates an “I’m Rick James bitch!” type catchphrase it’s going to get old REAL fast. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rick-and-morty-first-time-watching-and-ranking-thread/1022364.md?page=1)
