They don't whitewash it, either. The pirates are really rapey.

I've never complained about Rick doing that kind of stuff, but for Morty it represented growth of his character and a running continuity, things that I didn't expect from the series to that point.
But yeah, I still don't complain about it when Rick does it, just Morty's speech was one of the things that hooked me.
Morty's speech:
"Nothing matters, no one is special, we're all going to die, make the most of your life before that happens"
Rick's Speech:
"The universe is a shitty place, nothing matters because you're special, you're so special that everyone else is shit, but you and i are smart and not shit, so you gotta deal with the shittiness of the universe and cling to how much of a special snowflake you are!"

Agreed BUT it does have
Morty: Oh, man. I mean, you know, I-I don't want to shoot nobody.
Rick: They're just robots, Morty! It's okay to shoot them! They're robots!
(Morty shoots a Glenn, blowing his leg off, and making blood gush out as he drops down in pain)
Glenn: Aaaaah! My leg is shot off!
Other Gromflomite: Glenn's bleeding to death! Someone call his wife and children!
Morty: They're not robots, Rick!
Rick: It's a figure of speech, Morty. They're bureaucrats. I don't respect them.
So it gets a pass from me. I also really love the delivery of "It detects things all the way up your butt"
Good moment, and it reminds me how different the voice acting direction was back then
I can't say I really like it, lol

That joke is essentially the hook for Rick and Morty. One good joke to rule the world.
The pilot and every episode in season 1 are hilarious and perfect. Seasons 2 and 3 are neutered.. still good.. but clearly downplaying the edge that made the show so good in the first place.
Hopefully they werent lying when they said season 4 will be more streamlined like 1. I dont need Dan Harmons real life divorce drama bleeding into a show about interdimensional hijinx.

Disagree, Gazorazorp episode was far worst
Lets not forget the part in the pilot where Rick gives morty an inspirational speech then sees the monster crawling up behind and going
"Holy shit morty, Run I've never seen anything like that, Run we're going to die!"
Hilarious

Purge was worse than the pilot too. Jerry was the only thing that saved that saved that episode from being trash.

I thought the finale was very funny. Good episode.
Weakest of the season was either Rickmancing the Stone or ABC's of Beth.
Best were Rickshank, Ricklantis, and Rest and Ricklaxation.

Good job
Keep writing
Taddy Mason is best character
Not really a fan of the purge, had it aired this season it would have been ripped to shreds
Yeah i was expecting more BttF parody stuff outside of their names and Rick's vague Doc Brown similarities
Yeah. The show was always violent from the get go, but now it's kinda turning into gore porn at places.
Oh, please. It's not just that episode.

Not much happened was said in that episode outside of a few choice moments in the therapy session. Its all very well animated and creative in its violence but seeing Rick being Rick by himself and just doing crazy violent shit got old by the time he was fighting rats. The violence isn't the issue, its just not an episode with much going on for the most part.
Ive been trying to get my brother to watch the show. So he has been. But called me yesterday to say Pickle Rick was the first episode he found to be hilarious. :/
Yup. That said, it seems like a lot of people were sold only because Rick yells "I'm Pickle Rick," which shouldn't be a surprised after Tiny Rick caught on, but is still pretty annoying to see. I'm just glad I haven't run into people like that in real life, but my friends have been less fortunate.
Or maybe they just liked the episode?
Pickle Rick was good because of the juxtaposition of the absurd (Rick turning himself into a pickle, rigging up some insane body for himself, killing dozens of well trained secret agents) with the mundane (Beth is confronted by a therapist for her destructive behavior). That's sort of Rick and Morty's forte with A and B plots, but I feel like it was taken to the next level there.
And then those two completely different plot threads meet at the end in this strange, surreal family therapy session.
One of my favorites this season.

It's mostly people using "Pickle Rick!" the way Rick constantly yelled "Tiny Rick!" in that one S2 episode.

Pickle Rick might be my favorite episode of the season. Rick going on an archetypical masculine (some might say toxically) adventure as an avoidance mechanism for therapy only to get called the fuck out at the end is great
Oh yeah those guys are annoying
It's not even funny as imo the humor mostly comes from Morty unamused reaction
Rick isn't all that interesting character to me when he's not bouncing off a character of note so Pickle Rick was kind of uninteresting to me outside of the visual aspect. Him just killing rats and random henchmen just got repetitive after a while and while Jaguar was great he wasn't in the episode much at all. Even the opening episode the season was kind of lackluster for me in that respect once Rick killed off Nathan Fillion's character.

Now there are fan theories we are getting a secret finale. Maybe trolling the fanbase is the right idea considering all of these theories.
Yup. It's not that they liked the episode. It's that they liked that one line. A lot. And quote it. A lot. Without the context that made it work.
I've mostly seen people thinking Mr. Poopy Butthole's comment about "growing a big 'ol Santa Claus beard" meant a Christmas special & not continuing his joke about how long Season 4 may take compared to how long Season 3 took. Which

Are these actual people that you know in real life? Or internet people that "yell" it by typing it? Or (most likely) hypothetical people that you read about in articles like that Vice article?
Pickle rick mother fucka!!!

Wouldn't be the first time [adult swim] pulled some shit like this (ex. the Aqua Teen finale), but yeah, it's more likely just another classic example of fans grasping at straws after a disappointing finale by formulating insane conspiracy theories (like the Mass Effect 3 Indoctrination Theory or people speculating that Apple Tree Yard was actually going to be the missing 4th episode of Sherlock season 4).

I can't lie, Rick's miserable face at the end was deeply satisfying to see.
