just started watching season 1 and wanted to drop in to say that epsiode 2 was hilarious. can't wait to watch the others.

 

[chicko1983]

am I the only one who really likes the Beth and Jerry sub-plots?

Jerry is a classic!

Beth is the only boring character, but with Jerry they are funny together.

 

[Turin Turambar]

My biggest problem with the show is that it needs to be comfortable dropping the jerry/beth plotlines if they're boring, irrelevant bullshit. I know Rick joked about that this episode, but I still felt there was a ton of wasted time that could have been filled with further expansion of the main plot, which was great and very creative.

What... main plot? If all is comedic bizarre adventures!

In some episodes the "secondary story" with Jerry/Beth is as hilarious as the primary story of the episode, so I don't see why they should drop it. I mean... Jerry believing the virtual world was real in the alien ship was super funny! and what about the Meseeks? Or Jerry And Beth in the post apocalyptic insect setting!

 

[El Daniel]

I watched the leaked episodes as well. It's not so bad because I get to hear all the reactions from the internet now.

Yeah, next week is gonna be insane. Wish I waited. Ah well, I'll just watch it a fourth time.

jerry on the ship was good because he was so oblivious to the fake world around him. the jerry and beth stuff in the meeseeks episode is the same tired "i should finally leave jerry" stuff that was spoken about in the christmas episode and rixty minutes. beth needs to adventure with rick badly because she feels like the weak link of the series.

 

[HariKari]

rixty minutes.

That was more about the lingering animosity over Summer being born and how they thought it made their lives suck. I agree that Beth is a weak character so far.

Spoiler

Jerry really steals the show in EP2.

they still played with the idea of separating though

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

I really wish this was more easy to watch in the UK.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

This show is so good only started watching because of the Simpsons

 

[Squalor]

So glad I didn't watch the leaks.

Well worth the wait for last night.

 

[Veritigo_X]

God damn Jerry. Going in hard at the end there. Doesn't lay off for a second.

 

[e_i]

"As far as grandpa is concerned, you are both pieces of shit."

Welcome back, Rick and Morty, welcome back.

 

[Loomba]

Anywhere I can watch this in the UK? (legally of course).

Believe it or not they are openly streaming it on the adult swim website with zero issues

 

[Kyzer]

I have no problem with the subplot and it gives the show a more legit polished feeling. If it was just rick and Morty all the time it would just be another random adult swim show imo.

 

[jstripes]

"As far as grandpa is concerned, you are both pieces of shit."

You left out the best part:

"I can prove it mathematically. Let me get my whiteboard. This has been a long time coming."


Also, why didn't anyone tell me Aqua Teen Hunger Force is back?

 

[NEO0MJ]

"Think for yourselves, don't be sheep" is ironic advice from Rick at the beginning of the episode, considering what happened.

Mind blown.

First episode of the new season was pretty good, it's also the last season fyi.

 

[The Technomancer]

Welcome back, Rick and Morty, welcome back.

I'm almost entirely positive that was in order to drive all uncertainty out of them, it was harsh even for Rick and goes against his, uhm, actions towards the end of the episode

 

[Akahige]

Great episode, I actually forgot this show had stuff after the credits, I'm glad I browsing my phone while listening to the end credits song.

I love how rewatchable this show, I feel like I could rewatch the new episode a few times in a row and not tire of it, definitely won't be deleting this season from dvr for a while.

 

[Cymbal Head]

He probably doesn't want them to keep sucking up to him, either.

 

[Squalor]

He probably doesn't want them to keep sucking up to him, either.

I would say it's that he doesn't want them to idolize him. He doesn't want them to be and turn out like him.

 

[Opto]

nice

I can only find the video with the first 5 minutes. How do I get the full episode?

Weird on iPad the video was only 5:03 but on my laptop it's the entire episode. Must not be able to handle the break in the episode or something.

Thanks guys!

 

[e_i]

Another great line:

"You stole a time freezing crystal from testicle monsters?!"

 

[Trouble]

So glad I didn't watch the leaks.

Well worth the wait for last night.

Same.

Season opener was fantastic.

 

[Candeldandel]

nice

Goddamnit :|

Uncle Rick's references are out of control. Everyone knows that.

This was a fantastic season opener.

 

[TheProdigal]

So glad I didn't watch the leaks.

what would've been the difference?

 

[Grakl]

nice

What am I looking at here? The horse gait?

It's a preview of all the splits that happen later in the episode.

 

[Abounder]

Love this show. I think the art style is fantastic especially in the crazy worlds they visit

I have no problem with Beth although all the proud horse doctor jokes is a pretty strange foil even for this absurdity lol

 

[Candeldandel]

It's a preview of all the splits that happen later in the episode.

It's also kind of a gif, but only if you post the screenshot online and scroll up & down... you'd never see it on the show since the camera doesn't move in a way that you'd see it.

It's an animation strip, reminiscent of old zoetrope animations. Any sort of motion will make it look alive.

I know, it's just kinda awesome that it's something you have to remove from the show to see.

 

[Discotheque]

lol was the best joke of the episode when he called them out on laughing at it.

 

[AbsolutBro]

nice

That's always been there though. You can see it in the Christmas / Anatomy Park episode. (S1E03)

 

[TheGreatDirector]

What a crazy season opener. It seems like Rick is becoming noticeably more selfless towards his family (even if it's minute).

 

[megarockexe]

I didn't even catch that. The writing on this show is great for stuff like that

Someone made a video of the alternative worlds blended on top of each other

Oh man, that 5 second montage parody at the end!

 

[Clydefrog]

ugh, gross and weird!!!

 

[TheOddOne]

Wat.

 

[Clydefrog]

it's the gun. from the testicle monster. come on, man.

Still, what.

 

[rothgar]

Great season opener. Funniest thing though was my TV kept displaying "3D signal detected" message every time the timelines split.

 

[UrbanRats]

It had some funny jokes, but i agree.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I love the continuity. This episode wasn't perfect, but picking up right where last season left off deserves mad respect.

 

[Psxphile]

Another episode was leaked online.
