Favourite Rick and Morty Episode

[Glongpre]

This show is fantastic. I have always loved cartoons. I find it is similar to the great show Futurama, and it needs some love.

Season 3 where art thou?

Anyway, this show has a lot of great episodes, but for me the standouts are the Mr. Meseeks, and the dream parasites.
Mr. Meseeks has really grown on me, at first it was kinda annoying because of how the meseeks talk, but the more I watch the episode the better it gets. The fact that the daughter and wife give such ridiculous calls for help, but the meseeks get stuck on helping Jerry's stroke is hilarious. And idk why, but Rick getting confrontational at the stairway pub always cracks me up.

The parasite one is just fantastic on so many levels. The characters it creates, how they figure out who is a parasite, and the dream stories are pretty funny. I especially enjoy Jerry's trip with the imaginary husband.

Spoiler: Trip

Maybe we'll see...Chewbacca...

And who can forget Mr. Poopy Butthole. Hooo weee!

Who is excited for season 3, and what's your fav episode?
Does anyway like the recurring Intergalactic TV episode? (I don't mind it actually)

Dream parasite episode, or whatever it was called, was pretty great.

I also really liked the one with the fart gas cloud. Crombobulous Michael is a badass.

Total Rickall

Mortynight Run.
I like Mortynight Run just for this and the line "Shut the fuck up about moonmen!"

But one of my favorites is 'Big Trouble in Little Sanchez', featuring Tiny Rick and alien couples/marriage therapy.
Plus the ending stinger was funny as hell

Rickpotion #9

It's probably the standard answer, but that episode was fucking genius. It was also the first episode that got into legitimately dark mindfuck territory.

Followed closely by 'Close Rickcounters of the Rick Kind' and 'Total Rickall'.

I don't know how much I'm looking forward to the third season, since apart from maybe the first 4 episodes, season 2 was kind of lame. And I know the season finale was like this big reveal, but everything in between was sub standard. They even seem to comment on that in The Purge episode, which wasn't very good either.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Oh look! An excuse for me to share this:
my favorite episode has to be the unity episode, basically for the reason that Unity breaks up with Rick:
"In a way your better at what I do than me" is... God damn, that's a pipe bomb. Keep in mind, Rick disects it later, "Shes basically an entity that thrives on enslavement" which is what Rick is. A grand manipulator that uses people, and the real heart wrenching thing is she's probably the only few people in the galaxy that could possibly relate to Rick and she wants nothing to do with him.

There's so many to choose from. I want to say the first episode that really made me have to pause the episode just to have a good laugh was the "Anatomy Park" episode, but I know other episodes have surpassed that. "Rickpotion #9" is probably the best example of how messed up the show can get, while staying true to the balls out weird sci-fi that most shows wouldn't dare go. "Total Rickall" was probably one of the best examples of deconstructing what can make a bottle episode good, while throwing as much crazy shit to the wall and seeing what sticks. That said, I'm into Rick and Morty for the dark humor and I think no episode better illustrates that than "The Ricks Must Be Crazy", for both stories. The scene where the car psychologically destroys that SWAT team member nearly had me on the floor I was laughing so hard, especially the line "All of you have loved ones, all can be returned, all can be taken away, please step away from the vehicle". Then there's the whole issue of Rick's car battery being powered by slavery, but with more steps that was just deliciously evil.

Rickpotion #9

It's probably the standard answer, but that episode was fucking genius. It was also the first episode that got into legitimately dark mindfuck territory.

Seconded. It's got all the elements that are the series' strengths: crude humor, cosmic horror, crazy sci-fi, and genuinely disturbing imagery and concepts. Those Cronenberg transformations and especially Morty's world-shattering existential crisis at the end. Up until that point I'd enjoyed the show as a mix of Futurama and South Park on a purely "har har" level, but that ending legitimately gave me pause and made me realize the insurmountable horror beneath the stories' surface.

Other favorites include:

- Close encounters of the Rick-kind, because of this scene alone is utter genius. "Greasy Grandma world" never fails to split my sides


- Ricksy business since it was one of those episodes where they could really just cram as many weird alien designs as possible into one episode. Plus Abradolf Lincler and glip glops.
- Big Trouble in Little Sanchez
- A Rickle in Time

Just as a side note, I really liked Summer in season 2. In season 1 she's a quite typical "vapid teenage daughter" type, but season 2 showed that she's a good person at heart and doesn't wish harm on anyone.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I too vote for the dream parasite episode for this rare gem of a scene!


The rap part so was unexpected from me! Yes I know it's possible a reference to that Lazy Town rap mash up!

I also liked it was a bash to Family Guy per say, well the excessive up of the cut away gag.

 

[Saelune]

The first Alternate TV episode, duh. Two Brothers is a favorite scene, because even though it has nothing to do with the plot of the series, it is a great example of what is great about the show.
Id show the Adult Swim one, but it cuts out the laugh at the end that really ties it all together.

 

[MCerberus]

+1 for the first interdimensional cable episode.

Nobody exists on purpose. We're all going to die. Let's watch some TV.
However, the dream parasite episode has the most brutal twist ending in television. Truly he is too good for this fallen world.

 

[MrCalavera_v1legacy]

First season, yep won't be original here, it's Rick Potion #9.

Second season, it gotta be The Mortynight Run.

Yep, mainly for that fartpart.

Probably Auto-erotica. Rickrotica? I forgot the pun.

The episode's name is Auto Erotic Assimilation.

 

[Leg End]

All of these mentions of Total Rickall and not a single goddamn one of you mentions Rick price scalping? You should all be ashamed.
In relation to the thread name, my personal favorite might or might not be Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind, if only for the ending.

 

[Worgen]

Mine would have to be something Ricked this way comes. I really like the dynamic between Summer and Rick, its a character dynamic I haven't seen before. Usually the teenage sister is rather one dimensional but she really comes alive when shes teamed with Rick.

 

[Saltyk]

One of my favorites is M Night Shaym-Aliens. I love the whole idea of Rick and Morty being stuck in a simulation. Meanwhile Jerry is in one as well (running at minimum power) and it is the best day of his life. Then, we get the ending. Where we learn that you really don't fucking cross Rick. Do have to wonder when he figured out that Morty was a simulation, though.

Really, I love just about every episode. It's probably one of the best shows on television. Period.

 

[K12]

"Total Rickall" is my favourite Rick and Morty episode... it's also my favourite animated tv episode, my favourite comedy episode, my favourite science fiction episode and my favourite 22 minutes of anything in the history of everything that has ever existed anywhere in the universe ever... I approve is what I'm trying to say.


"Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" is the one that most needs some kind of follow up (once he gets out of space jail anyway) and we definitely don't need another interdimensional cable episode (I wasn't even that keen on the first one... not compared to everyone else anyway)

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

That's a very difficult question. Very difficult indeed. They are all so damn good. If i had to pick (and i don't remember the official titles too well), it would have to be between the episode about the intelligent dogs, the Meeseeks (?), the sentient cloud episode, the love potion episode, ooh, the devil shop episode, the car battery episode, the...Rickception episode with the Freddy Krugery being ("aww *****")...Actually fuck this, this isn't going to work. I'm just going to watch some unwatched episodes right now.
Edit...Whichever episode that containted the arcade game "Roy" or something along those lines, that was a magnificent moment of genius!

 

[Silent Protagonist]

My favorite is the one where they break time through uncertainty.

Has the scene where Rick says both of his grandkids are equally terrible pains to him and proceeds to prove it mathematically.
