Rick and Morty -- the new animated show from Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland

@Sherrerd

Didn’t the sequence at The Creepy Morty rather heavily imply that there’s a lot of gay incest going on in the Citadel? (And one of the four Mortys seeking the Wishing Portal mentioned incest.)…

Also the Bootlegger Morties apparently made their Rick lick their balls.

[Smapti]

Well, that episode was dark, and we only saw a fraction of the memories Rick wiped from Morty. The fact that Summer is so blasé about yet another “Scenario 4” happening really makes you wonder how many times they’ve gone through this.

“And we’ll be doing this instead of interdimensional cable.”

LOL.

I had always had my suspicions about the squirrels.

I don’t think they had ever actually had a Scenario 4 yet, since Summer had to open the instructions first.

And was Jerry’s memory on a video tape of some sort? That didn’t seem to make sense, given that it happened after the divorce (otherwise, what is Jerry doing in his apartment / hotel room / wherever he’s staying now?).

I loved those squirrels, and had a little Twelve Monkeys moment, of “Maybe the mad are right!”

The squirrel scene also reinforced the notion that their reality isn’t infinite.

I thought it was more about leaning on the fourth wall, saying that they could recycle that plot point only so many times.

Well, let’s not take anything for granite.

Loved the E.T. spoof with a much different ending.

“Dibs on his stuff!”

Yeah, it’s only implied, of course, but when I saw them switch realities back in episode six (the Cronenberg episode), I laughed out loud at the deus ex machina and the lampshading of it.“We get three or four more of these, tops.” That was back when we were only learning how screwed up this show could be.

Season 3 is darker, but I’m liking it more than season 2, so far.

Of course, since they swapped realities a second time, that means there’s probably another pair of dead Rick and Morty buried in the backyard with yet another portal gun. I wonder if that’ll ever come into play?

Mr. Poopybutthole proposed to Morty? Dreams really do come true.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Movie references I caught:

Contact - building an advanced spacecraft with radioed instructions
The Birds - threatening small animals gather on nearby rooftops and wires
E.T. - kids try to rescue an alien on their bikes
The Empire Strikes Back - cutting open an alien beast to survive extreme cold

Any others?

Or those Rick & Mortys are trapped at the Citadel. Lots of worlds out there without theirs.

Someone put together what I think is a particularly clever and catchy music video: I’m Mr. Meeseeks (Rick and Morty remix song).

Thanks. Surprisingly upbeat, given the subject matter!

I thought that was The Revenant, but I never saw the one you mentioned.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (in which Han Solo slices open a dead tauntaun so that Luke can survive a bitter-cold Hoth night) predates The Revenant film by decades.

Dan Harmon lashes out at sexist fans trolling the show’s female writing staff.

@Dan Harmon

These knobs, that want to protect the content they think they own — and somehow combine that with their need to be proud of something they have, which is often only their race or gender. It’s offensive to me as someone who was born male and white, and still works way harder than them, that there’s some white male [fan out there] trying to further some creepy agenda by ‘protecting’ my work. I’ve made no bones about the fact that I loathe these people. It fucking sucks. And the only thing I can say is if you’re lucky enough to make a show that is really good that people like, that means some bad people are going to like it too. You can’t just insist that everybody who watches your show get their head on straight … And I’m speaking for myself — I don’t want the show to have a political stance. But at the same time, individually, these [harassers] aren’t politicians and don’t represent politics. They represent some shit that I probably believed when I was 15.

Good on him for calling out these twerps.
