My personal trick is to combine my reputation for being Mr Sophisticated with Rick & Morty quotes to throw people pleasantly off guard. “Gentlemen, now the business portion of this meeting has concluded I do believe it is time to get riggity-riggity-wrecked at the pub!” 😃 ---

I just wanted to add that my daughter performs the appropriate dance steps and the stylized fist shaking while cheerfully singing _“let me out; let me out; this is not a dance; I’m beggin’ for help, I’m screamin’ for help; please come let me out.”_ She then always pairs the right gestures with _“I’m dyin’ in a vat in the garaaage.”_ ---

Rick and Jerry episoooooooooode! This was a fun episode, and it was good to see Jerry get some character development and actually take a stand for himself, even if he did spend most of the episode as the butt monkey. Loved the “cosmic apotheosis” sequence, and I would _so_ ride the Whirly Dirly. The subplot with Summer felt a little tacked on, but it worked. Rick is gonna be _pissed_ when he finds out the host of Anatomy Park II got Cronenberged, though. ---

“She was Rick’s daughter. She had opportunities, before you injected her with 20ccs of despair.” …_Ouch_. That line stuck with me. That’s really really harsh. Also, yeah, the cosmic apotheosis might just be my favorite trip-out scene ever. It’s easily up there with the one from Bojack Horseman. ---

Beth building that sculpture out of horse hooves & legs was possibly the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen on this show. And I know that’s saying a lot. ---

Probably just me but I found that this last Jerry episode was the most underwhelming/boring of the season so far. ---

Yes, but that assistant manager was played by Clancy Freakin’ Brown, the GOD of Voice Actors. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > Well it _was_ a Jerry episode 🙂 I know, right? Although the Jerry at Daycare episode wasn’t bad. Neither was the off-world marriage counselling one. It’s just, someone upthread mentioned that Justin Roiland thinks the superheroes episode is the weakest of the season. JUSTIN ROILAND TELLS LIES. ---
