Unreal. I laughed so hard at this even after seeing it in the preview.

And then the later part in the episode where ButterBot gives Rick a stick of butter because that's the only thing he knows how to do, and then Rick just tosses the whole fucking thing away like he doesn't give a shit...omg brutal...lmao.

LOL at snowball portrait on the wall.
It's great that this show is seemingly getting more and more popular, it really deserves it.
Much obliged.

I like that Summer's gotten a bunch of character development lately and that they aren't just keeping the other family members around as catalysts or supporting characters. She's got Rick's intuition and a little cynicism about how the world works (sweatshops in retail, diabetes in fast food, etc.) but she's also got some of the idealism from Jerry's side. Ultimately, part of her character comes from the fact that she's still a teenager and has no idea what she wants to do with her life, so it'll be pretty interesting if they expand on it. I could see a subplot happening where she starts looking into magic thanks to the Devil and has a Rick-level knack for it as a sort of foil to Rick being this huge scientific genius.
Now I'm just hoping Jerry gets a little more characterization beyond being a hard-working dad and a loving father who can accomplish just about anything as long as Beth has faith in him. I think it'd be great if a season 2 ep focused on the in-laws.

"Move to the Southwest and do something with turquoise" doesn't qualify?
These were the moments for me. Morty's speech with his dad when he was in bed killed me. The combination of writing and voice acting just hit exactly the perfect note.
Muscular Summer is now #1 on my wish list for Rick & Morty action figures.X GON GIVE IT TO YA

Is it just me or was there a Recess shout-out in the ending?
Wait, what? Another break? Is it a holiday?

Another great episode this week. Loved the bit with the butter robot.

This show is in the top 100 on thepiratebay :/
People mightn't like it but that's a pretty good measure of success.

Didn't this episode just confirm that magic and the supernatural exists in the Rick & Morty universe? Or did I just miss that from an earlier episode?
Well, I mean magic is just science without all the paperwork.
The creators have said in recent interviews that the final episodes of the season would open up the universe of the show in different ways and pave the way for season 2. This could be an example of that.

Me watching that last episode:
Seriously though I do enjoy fantasy and the episode was hilarious but I don't know how I feel about the best science-fiction show on television introducing the Devil and magical curses nine episodes in.

I like to think of it as a deconstruction of magic versus science. In this universe, magic is an outdated practice and no longer "hip" and as a result people like the Devil are going out of business because their fantasy ways can't keep up with the times and grab people the way they used to. It's more like comparing mom and pop shops to Gamestop than it is a real magic-versus-science debate.

R&M was never anything close to hard sci-fi to begin with. Their model of the multiverse is complete misaligned with the actual multiverse theory.
I haven't seen Party Down, but that image instantly reminded me of this scene:Me watching that last episode:

Can't believe they did en entire episode based on Needful Things. It's my favourite Stephe n King's book!
That ending came out of nowhere and I just could not stop laughing - a better version of the ending to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.

For the record I was using that reference humorously. It's not like I consider a theme park inside a man's body "hard sci-fi", but I was reminded of that Party Down scene because there did seem to be a shift from sci-fi to fantasy in this episode. And I wouldn't be surprised if the creators acknowledged that down the line, either by applying a scientific-ish explanation to the existence of "the devil" and curses or by having the characters comment on the nature of magic and how it challenges their perception of reality. Especially Rick who usually has an understanding of how every(crazy)thing going on around him is possible.
Indeed. That many people are stealing the show is no cause for celebration, but it's also not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, wasn't it an HBO exec who said that (paraphrasing here) Game of Thrones being torrented like crazy all over the world helped turn the show into such a pop culture juggernaut?

Awesome episode, even the gifs are killing me.
One thing did bother me though, the time travel curse. I was hoping time travel wasn't possible in this world, since they have said "Weve made a point to avoid any and all time travel", and I fully agreed with them on avoiding it. Hopefully that was just a throwaway joke.

I think what they mean is, while time travel may be conceivable, they would never write make an episode about time travel shenanigans.
So like, if Morty ever brings up why Rick never time travels Rick can give some cockamamie explanation and that would be that.

We've seen plenty of time travel equipment already (Rick even has a box named "Time Travel stuff" in the garage), so it's probably just going to be a running gag that they never actually do it. Rick being averse to the idea could always have to do with either his wife or the theory that Rick is Morty, too. He already has enough trouble dealing with himself due to the loads of alternate realities he jumps through.

you guys see the "fags" change to "you", right?
Oh yeah. I wonder if they were able to slip that under the censors at the last minute.
Or maybe it's just a Die Hard 3 reference.

Holy crap, dude. I didn't until you pointed that out. That's hilarious

Only one frame as well, good pick up.
Hmm. My random guess, based on me having no idea how animation works, is that the sign originally just said "GOD HATES YOU" but then when the Phelps thing became relevant in the past few days, they went back in and quickly changed "YOU" to "FAGS" at the last minute, but missed the last frame because the sign is at a slightly different angle in it? I dunno.

Perhaps, there's a slight color change in the blue where it looks like its been edited.
Edit: Must be compression, cant see anything in a larger version.
