It took me way too long to realize Bucket Head was Joel McHale. Picked up on that little more than halfway in, which is pretty bad considering I'm doing a re-watch of Community ATM.

 

[timshundo]

Something feels diffent about this episode and i like it. It had heart.

Like you can only rely on poop jokes for so long. I cant imagine the quality of season 1 and 2 are sustainable. Sooner or later the showrunnners are gonna start to get crusty and will have to rely on more peoples ideas which the show becomes a vessel for and im all for that. Adventure Time went the same way after Pen Ward left. Some people didnt like it, some people embrased it. We’ll see how this goes!

 

[Godcannon]

Post credits almost stole the show, but Morty's possessed arm was SO good. Also liked the Mad Max World, since Fury Road is one of my favorites of recent.

Not crazy about the divorce stuff, just not funny enough, but if it somehow leads to something great then it will work fine.

So with the fact the title card on all the commercials shows Rick and Beth in the shitty living room in the post apocalypse universe and they showed a Pocket Mortys version of Beth called "Wasteland Beth" on the commercial for next week's episode, I'm going to assume there's going to be a lot more of that place in the season?

I noticed the living room was used in the commercials but I thought it was just recycled assets. That said, you raise a good point with Wasteland Beth; they made sure to call the other avatar "Original Jerry" despite Cronenbergverse Jerry looking even more feral than she did.

I guess I can't be too pissed since Adult Swim itself is actually carrying it, but it would be nice if I hadn't spent the last hour trying to get the streaming to work for 12 minutes of content

[Makai]

I thought Jerry was going to be under the helmet. He thrives in apocalyptic situations.

 

[SpanishExplorer]

Any place I can stream this legally? (US)

edit: nvmd it's on adult swim surprisingly, not behind any walls

 

[Ernest]

I hope more people realize Beth is the worst
Jerry doesn't deserve this

They're both shitty people, just in different ways.

 

[Akainu]

Dick move Rick. lol

 

[SalvaPot]

It was an ok episode, the first episode was just sooo much better, I felt this one was more plot than jokes and I am not sure if that is what I want out of Rick and Morty, I guess we'll see.

It's becoming more like Bojack Horseman in terms of mixing depression, plot, and jokes, which is fine by me, felt like it was always going down this path since the 2nd season anyhow.

The thread title is pretty amusing after today's episode.

 

[Ross61]

Great fucking episode.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Not on Netflix UK, guess it is a week behind. What a waste of time.

 

[HariKari]

E2 is one of the weaker episodes in terms of humor but it sets up the rest of the season nicely.

 

[Ryouji Gunblade]

They might want to cut to three weeks earlier when they had electricity.

 

[Rentahamster]

Is this being added to hulu tonight?

It was great. Hopefully there is a rerun or it's in an AS stream so you can see it

That was so good.

Are they gonna replay it?

You can watch it on the AS website.

[F!ReW!Re]

Thought that was pretty awesome.
Don't get the jokes fell flat comments, laughed out loud a couple of times;

Exhibit A;
”They don't have to keep trying to kill us if we join them. They're basically pussies."—Summer

Exhibit B;
"Looooooseeeeerrrrrr

Next week! Bring it!

Worst joke of the episode and they did it twice.

 

[Unit 33]

Worst joke of the episode and they did it twice.

I'm not sure if it was meant to be a joke or if it's some kind of new narrative. Jerry will have to confront sentient wind... eh?

I thought it was saying 'come closer'..was it definitely saying loser then?

Yes.

 

[Kalor]

That was a good episode. Part of me was expecting Buckethead to be a version of Jerry.

Yup, it pretty much laid out the groundwork for the rest of the season.

 

[Shauni]

I liked the episode, but I kind of get where people are coming from that didn't. It's definitely a shift from previous episodes, and there is something a bit...off about the characters it feels like, too. But that's mostly due to the new status quo, I guess.

 

[Brinbe]

Pretty damn good.

From what I understand it's what going through a divorce is like. Sorta the same but kinda different.

 

[Lupercal]

Damn, what a terrific episode.
Lot's of little quick jokes/statements from Rick and Summer was actually good this episode.
Loved Morty's existential crisis speech and it finally got us caring a bit about Jerry.

If they're all like this, best season ever bitchessss.

 

[Zelias]

Episode was alright, not great, though maybe my expectations were set a bit too high after the stellar season opener. I feel like it might pick up on rewatches. Post-credits scene was great.

Anyway hype for Pickle Rick!

 

[AHA-Lambda]

This still isn't up on Netflix UK yet? :/

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Here's the ep

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQIKuIadxP8

Robot Summer and Morty was the best bit of the episode

 

[zeemumu]

They're both shitty people, just in different ways.

Beth is a heavy drinker and in denial about Rick harming the family because she's afraid of him leaving. She also shot Mr. Poopybutthole

Jerry's just a loser.

 

[UberTag]

So does Summer just have a face tattoo now?

I suspect it'll be gone next week. Just made sense for her to still have it when visiting Jerry because it was the first thing she wanted to do upon returning home.
Would have been silly for her to take the time to get it removed beforehand. I appreciate little details like that to reinforce a character's motivations.

The thread title is pretty amusing after today's episode.

By the end of this season, everyone will be focused on keeping themselves safe from Summer.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

So where's the "loooooseeeeeer" gifs?

 

[Violet_0]

was an okay episode, the Mad Max reference should have ended after the first car chase and I don't know why they threw GoT in there as well. Jerry and the dog was the best scene

 

[Ogodei]

The humor in the episode mostly felt forced outside of Armothy and Robot Morty and Summer. The "loooserr" bits went too far into explaining the joke or just feeling like meanness for its own sake.

 

[Tawpgun]

I had this fear after episode 1.

They seem to be going for a more overarching plot, re-using old dimensions and conflicts.

I'd rather they have more one off episodes. Just basic random adventures. The over arching "plot" should be secondary.

 

[ANuclearError]

Squanchy got screwed.

 

[Darkwater]

which character was tony hale?

Wondering this myself.

Fun to hear Joel McHale. His voice was pretty different from Community's Jeff Winger, to the point that I recognized it but couldn't put my finger on it. Had to pause and IMDb it, those things drive me nuts.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Is this simulcasting anywhere?

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Seriously what's the deal with UK Netflix?

 

[PSqueak]

Screw the haters, the episode was hilarious, and the Arm subplot was the best.

Also, poor robot morty getting killed after gaining sentience. Deliciously dark.

I don't doubt there'll be more one offs but I'd say it'd be pretty hard to ignore something as big as episode 1 immediately after it happens.

....justgonnaleavethisherewoooo....

 

[Tawpgun]

Yeah that's why I'm hoping it will go back to normal. But so far the vibe is they will be mentioning the divorce in every episode. Morty is all dressed up in the preview and I'm assuming it has something to do with that. The Season 3 trailer also gave that vibe.


I'm just hoping for interdimensional cable 3

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Totally agree, "Max Max" dragged on too long. It's not as relevant anymore.

I mean, the growth from Summer was nice, but that could have happened with a more timeless reference point or plot.

Was still pretty good though, Hulkamania/Cena arm, and the wind made it enjoyable.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

We still need more smart morty

 

[ScottSullivan]

I know he's probably been a character for awhile but was that bug guy nathan fillion?
