The reason why “Sticky” helped Morty is because Morty freed its tail from under a rock. It’s like that Greek tale of a guy tamed a lion by fixing it paw from a thorn.
There’s 2 versions of that story. One is _The Lion & The Mouse_ by Aesop, the other is a legend of a man named Androcles who befriended a wild lion by removing a thorn from his paw.
I miss the days when Rick was just an old, grouchy, mad scientist grandpa. The pretentious pseudo philosophical attitude really ruined the character for me
@@EpicFableBean It just became a bigger focus over time & stopped being as funny in general. At least as far I've watched but I've only seen the first 3 seasons.
12:26 If the President is supposed to be sexist why is one of his generals a woman? Why is he asking if she has any ideas. I think he's ignoring Summer because she isn't qualified to give an opinion, not because she's a girl. After all, she's only there because she's related to Rick.
Oh my god that's brilliant. Yet another example of a blatant plot hole in this episode, which demonstrates how little effort was really put into writing it.
No, given the diversity hires writing this season, I think they were completely sincere. It seems like the type of self-righteous shit that is common these days.
@@stevens7443 it's a loose thread the writers didn't pull that could have added a layer of complexity. Or, the character designers just made a mistake.
And yet there's still more seasons to be created. Also kinda bad that they get an injection of fresh blood into the writers' room and they're already burned out.
Fun fact: During the featurette, the writers basically had no idea what to say about this episode. Dan Harmon jokingly mentioned in it that he wanted to see Morty riding a giant sperm, for some inexplicable reason. Most infamously one of the writers admitted he had no idea how this was allowed on television. What I don't know is how Dan Harmon can look at the Vindicators episode and deem that the worst episode but give this episode his approval.
The whole episode I was waiting for the moment where Rick would reveal to Morty that he was playing dumb the whole time just because he thought it was funny but it never came.
This episode was such a letdown. I mean, I was expecting a herd of Morty-horse hybrids, not giant sperm monsters nor an incest baby. At least in Rick Potion #9, they took the time to show how Morty using a love potion on his crush led to a world of Cronenberg-monsters, and it made sense (in context).
I just didn't understand why what technically the bio-weapon which in this case an "anti-human" weapon was sperm monsters. I was moreso thinking it would be some kind of monstrous entity that exploited our species weaknesses or be like a virus or something
@@jaygooese4242 First it went overboard with shock humour, then tried to explore "deeper subjects" 🙄🙄 That's like family guy having "serious episodes." You just can't take them seriously...
What kills me is that Tuca and Bertie, which already has a pretty crappy history behind it with Pornflix canceling it after one season and it getting shat on by a vocal minority of jerks gets picked up and advertised...only for it to be preempted by Rick and Bore-ty.
@@eatatjoes6751 tf are you talking about "Pornflix"? Was that supposed to be clever? Also Tuca & Bertie is on Adult Swim now, so you can save your griping
Also, I think the show was at it’s absolute peak in seasons 1-2 because it did dissect the characters, but did so in a way that pertained to the plot of each episode without becoming preachy. In fact, if you rewatch Season 2, Rick has a full on character arc that begins in the very first episode, "A Rickle in Time." Rick freezes time to avoid the consequences of the house party he threw. But, as a result of his actions, he ends up breaking time with Morty and Summer’s uncertainty, which spirals into a whole song and dance of convoluted, yet funny hijinks. However, as time begins to fall apart at the seams, Morty falls into the vacuum of space time after failing to put his collar on. So, Rick makes the bold and selfless choice to sacrifice his life to save Morty’s by giving Morty his collar. Then, we enter S2E3, the Unity episode. We learn that Rick once dated a hive mind that assimilates entire planets of species, and Rick seems happy. However, his toxic behavior and alcoholism becomes a negative influence on Unity, resulting in "it" losing control. Morty and Summer attempt to reason with Rick and convince him to come home, put he tells them to shove it. Unity begins to feel remorse for letting Rick push his grandkids away and leaves the planet while Rick is using the bathroom. We learn through a series of notes that Unity left Rick because of his refusal to change as a person and that "it" could no longer be around him for that very reason. Rick returns home and we witness a reluctant Beth delicately attempt to address an alien Rick’s been keeping under the garage, but her fear of abandonment made it all the more harder for her to do so. Rick enters the garage and begins toying with a device which we learn he attempts to use to commit suicide, but passes out before he could succeed. Then there’s "Get Shwifty," where we see a disgruntled Morty take Rick’s portal gun after Rick refused to use it to save his family out of laziness. Rick soon realizes the gravity of the situation and attempts to create another hit song with the help of Ice T, but Ice’s apathy towards the universe and it’s lack of meaning prevent him from committing to it. It’s then where we get a brief yet insightful quote from Rick that reveals his regret for how he’s lived his life. "Take it from me, Ice. You can’t just float around the universe not caring about stuff forever." And during Morty’s B plot, Bird Person saves a helpless Morty and takes him back to his place to recuperate. Bird Person reveals that Rick is the only reason he’s alive at all and how he has a good heart deep down, even if he doesn’t always express it. This motivates Morty to return to Rick and the two hash things out by performing a new hit song, thus saving Earth. Fast forward to the season finale "The Wedding Squanchers" and the Smith family and Rick are going to Bird Person’s wedding. Rick expresses deep rooted hatred for marriage after his own failed marriage and expresses concern about the legitimacy of the marriage. But, he eventually swallows his pride and makes a toast to opening himself up to others as well as friendship and love. Unfortunately, Rick’s concerns would turn out to be true as Tammy ends up being an undercover agent for the galactic federation whom Rick, Squanchy, and Bird Person had fought against in the name of freedom. Tammy kills Bird Person and Rick wails with sorrow and shock. He manages to get his family out safe and they end up colonizing a tiny planet while Earth is being overthrown by the federation. Jerry puts his foot down, calling Beth out for letting Rick endanger the safety of their children, and suggests turning him over to the government. Rick overhears their conversation as Beth shouts at Jerry for not wanting her father to leave her life again. Rick’s face is ridden with guilt and he ultimately decides to give himself up to the federation to give his family their lives back. With so much growth over the span of the season, you’d think we’d get a more developed Rick, but then the new writers for season 3 completely retcon Rick’s sacrifice so the show could have 100 more episodes instead of sticking to a more linear narrative.
The worst part is that the incest baby appears later in the Voltron parody episode..... And knowing the writers, the more the audience complains about that thing, the more it is gonna appear
@@edgycuckboi35 That one is more talking about the running Naruto does for the anime. You remember that one meme about Area 51 a couple of years ago? That one that we'd more likely want to forget about now? If you saw that one news clip in regards to that dumbass shit, you know what the run I'm talking about refers to.
Since season 3 Rick and Morty slowly transformed in just another adult cartoon sitcom. -"Yeah the plot it's about the sperm becoming giants, and the President want to stop it with the help of a family, also horses living underground, then giant baby in space." -"Oh it's a nice plot, but isn't the show about a teen and is grandpa going into space and dimensions?" -"What? I thought I was writting the script for South Park... or was it Family Guy?"
Family Guy is a wellspring of poison, trickling into other shows. But even it wasn't always stagnant; there is a source of this toxic cringe that corrupts adult animated shows through gross-out, Flanderization and edginess. One man goes on a quest to find and slay the Cringe Dragon and save adult animation once and for all! Synopsis for the Mr Enter movie
My first Rick and Morty episodes were actually Season 5 ones (because they were all up on UA-cam for free and I thought “why not?”) but after a few episodes I checked out lmao. Based on everyone’s opinions I should probably watch the first two seasons before forming my opinion though.
Lmao I avoided rick and morty for ages because I thought the entire show was like this. I’m watching it now for the first time and loving it lol, currently on season 3
What annoys me about this episode, other than the gratuidous amount of semen in the episode, is how Rick didn't suspect Morty did something to the semen in the first place. Surely Rick would've suspected something was wrong with the semen when Morty was acting like the way he was in the opening scene, but because the plot required him to not know about that till later he had to give in to Morty's lie at the start because plot.
The fact that Morty lied for a long time about his semen in the barrel also pissed me off. Like I know Morty’s just a teen who gets his wiener in everything, and is shy about his sex stuff, but so far, I’d expect him to at least say “hey don’t touch that, that’s my stuff in my barrel” or at least a little bit of damage control. It felt so much like an Idiot Plot to me because of that.
It feels like Season 5 as a whole is placing a lot more emphasis on Rick and Morty's adventures being... wacky. Out there. Y'know? This episode was probably the biggest example of that, but the turkey episode later has that left field high concept show up out of nowhere in the last act.
I think they made Rick fail so much this season because there were complains about him being overpowered previously. They did a bad job at fixing it if that is the case.
I was thinking the same thing, I mean in the season opener he didn't even really do anything, loses and gets arrested by the end. In hindsight I found that funny since he has never lost before, but now he's losing constantly or just doing nothing.
Honestly, Rick comes across as more fed up this season. Like with Mr. Nimbus (who’s a parody of Submariner, not Aquaman) he’s most likely trying to avoid going to war with mermaid people because he’s not in the mood for it. In this episode, he didn’t seem like he wanted to Deal with Morty’s nonsense, so he’s like “fuck it!”(doesn’t really excuse the poor quality of the episode, though). In the episode with the turkey president, Morty suggested blowing up the Washington Monument and Rick responds with “do you want to go through this again next year?”. I think he’s getting tired of putting the weight of everyone’s problems on his shoulders. He may be smart, but he’s not immune to emotional overrides. Like Tony Stark in Iron Man 3
Agreed, I just wish the show would focus on his "doneness" a lot more. I think that would've made the last few episodes better, comparing and contrasting his and Morty's moods.
When a DM does something like this is a tabletop RPG, it's called "Magical Realming" and is a prime reason to punch your DM in the face and get a new DM. Doing it as a TV writer is even nastier.
@@CantusTropus Altenatively, if your DM just likes making horrible goblins kill you all the time in nasty ways, then make your next PC The Goblin Slayer.
The problem with Rick and Morty is they blew their load too soon. Rick taking down the entire galactic federation should’ve been the show’s endgame. By having him accomplish what he’s been fighting against for over 50 years in just 2 seasons showed the audience how unstoppable he was. So now the show has to do what most long-running shonen anime does and depower, dumb down, and or make Rick act out of character in order to keep telling stories.
I fully agree with you Enter. I enjoyed the earlier seasons of Rick and Morty, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse as the seasons go on. I tried watching the newest season, but it feels unsalvageable after the first few episodes. The one Adult Swim series that I felt always kept up and was quality all the way through was Venture Brothers.
I gave up after season 4 TBH. I could see that season 5 was just going to retcon all rushed character development Rick had at the end of season 4 and that the other Beth goes away forever quicker than the aliens who invaded Earth in season 2 left at the start of season 3.
Well the random references to different properties that might be owned by their higher corporations, might have been forced onto them. 'You gotta reference a commercial millenials saw, you gotta reference a movie we own that millenials saw, blablabla'
To be fair to Nimbus, it makes sense that Rick would keep quiet about him because Nimbus is the equivalent of that guy you knew from high school who ended up super successful while Rick is the guy who never left town. Seeing Nimbus fills Rick with shame because this guy is walking proof that he is nothing but a sad old drunk.
Yes, Nimbus, like everyone else, sees Rick exactly for what he is: a pathetic alcoholic hiding behind his intelligence. The only person looking up to Rick at that point was Beth.
can we just talk about how impossible it is for Morty to have filled an entire industrial sized barrel with s***n in a week? I don't think he could've filled that barrel if he was in their for a YEAR let alone a week.
I remember a 4chan dude filled 3 bottles of semen in 3 years, and that was considered impressive and even companies tried to contact him to know his method.
I’m more bothered by the fact that this is a 14 year old. Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland really wanted to make an episode about a 14 year old doing this shit.
I’d like to imagine one of the writers was slamming their fists against the table demanding summer and morty conceive a child until the rest of the writers begrudgingly agreed to write this episode
Infinity Train and it’s community has to fight for the mere possibility to finish the show. Rick and Morty gets 100 episodes for nothing. What a world.
Hell, glitch techs is still fighting their battle to get relevant, even though the pilot was amazing, and the concept definitely marketable, especially since they appeal to one of the biggest audience's right now; gamers. So there's something for you to chew on
Good shows will always come to an end, one way or another. Bad shows will always stick around way too fucking long, like a parasite leeching off of society.
@@greenjay7471 Or good shows turn into bad shows and leech off of whatever goodwill people had left for when the show was good (see: Spongebob, the Simpsons).
The Gotron episode that came after this one was better as it did play up how fucking batshit insane and obsessive Rick can get when he finds something he wants to do. But the ending itself was completely out of character. There was no way Rick would be unable to kill off the original Gotron team after they turned on him, but the episode needed to shoehorn in the "family sticks together" message and have his family and giant incest baby come to save the day.
Summer as well learning what being Rick’s sidekick really entails on an emotional level. It’s a way of talking to the audience, saying to them “this guy you admire, here’s the consequences of wanting to be by his side”.
I actually liked "Get Shwifty" but not for the song itself. I liked the concept of Rick and Morty being forced to create and perform a catchy song to save Earth. And as you said, the two subplots were really interesting. I liked seeing Morty stand up for himself and take Rick’s portal gun to attempt to find his family, while also seeing Bird Person again and getting brief insight into his relationship with Rick. Also, I personally don’t think Rick was acting out of character, but just felt like screwing around before abandoning Earth like in Rick Potion #9, which Morty obviously stops him from doing. That’s another trait that Rick lost after season 2, he doesn’t expend the effort of creating things to resolve conflict, he just packs up and moves to a different reality because he couldn’t be bothered to. The only times we saw Rick actually try to resolve a conflict is when his portal gun runs out of juice or breaks. In fact, Rick was ready to abandon Earth in "Lawnmower Dog" if Jerry didn’t talk him out of it.
The fact that the writers are gonna keep that giant incest baby in space thing going now makes me hate this season that much more. Fuck, this show has gone so downhill in quality.
So you're also the type of fan of Rick And Morty that gets arrested out of a McDonald's. Good to know that your mind is rotting just like the show. But in all seriousness, acting like this will only make the show even more hated that it already is. Unless you want people to genuinely believe what I said in the first paragraph, stop with that type of behavior. It may be funny on the show, but in real life it makes people want to deck you at the absolute least. You don't want people thinking like that about you when doxxing is becoming more common, and you don't want to have that 100 episode contract potentially broken and the show getting cancelled because you and other people like you couldn't keep their biases from turing them toxic. Or do you want just that?
An important rule of comedy is that it should always fit the story, world, and characters. Sadly, this show seems to put everything aside for gags that, frankly, aren’t even funny.
I’ve heard that any good joke is like a song. The punchline(chorus) is only in service to all the things that lead up to it, creating a payoff. When it does it well, it does well. When it falters it’s like a record scratch.
@@ethanmacdonald8568 Oh I didn't say reboot. My bad. Yeah I meant the reboot. Saw the episode when I was wondering if it was like the original. It was not.
@@thelastprotectorofoverain1035 I did that and it said that video is hidden or unavailable. Although, it might just be blocked for copyright in my country.
IIRC, the writers said mostly the same points you did about this episode in their behind-the-scenes video. Seems like not even they liked how it turned out
I honestly think the writers are making excuses. I don't see how they thought an episode that has GIANT SPERM and an INCEST BABY as major plot points would be something people would want to watch.
Well, y'know what they say, Enter, you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain... And with 100 guaranteed episodes, I can't even *imagine* the kind of villain this show will end up becoming...
It's ironic...Your Admirable Animations of Season 1, Ep 2 - Lawnmower Dogs - is what initially inspired me to seek out the show. Now look where the show is...
You mean good. Don't you? Also. JoJo's Bizzare Adventure And Cowboy Bebop said "Hello There" (Mr. Enter really needs to talk about those two shows at some point).
Ya know, this is part of a theory I have. When a person makes a cartoon, they must determine how many episodes it must be. It may have a small number or a big number, but it comes to how well the creator handles it. They must determine how much story each episode has. A good example is Gravity Falls, which became one of the best shows of all time and yet with 40 episodes. I’m not saying the number of episodes determine the shows success, it’s up to the weight the creator carries the shows.
I mean, when most typical cartoons last only 13-26 episodes, a more concise series tends to be favored. Then studios want to add more, if it makes good merchandising money, and that can drown out a show's quality.
With get schwifty thing it's less of rick doing something for the authorities and more of rick not wanting to go through hassle of finding another dimension after the inevitable destruction of the Earth because all the other songs suck.
You know what I find especially weird about the whole sexism subplot? The offending lines are almost all coming from the show's black president character. The character whom, at the time of his introduction, seems like he was meant to be a rough stand-in for then-president Obama. With that said, I gotta wonder: who is this subplot actually being aimed at? Because it sure as hell doesn't seem to be meant for the same type of woke lefties who write this show.
I feel sorry for Obama...before he even got elected, the first black president was already being treated like a meme. Both by liberals and conservatives, apparently.
I know this isn't the first they were used but I like the new Mr. Enter sprites. And the "mocking hand" sprite of Mr. Enter is the greatest thing I've seen in months. It legit makes me chuckle every time I see it.
I thought I had rose-colored glasses on and only thought the old seasons were better because they were old. Went to rewatch them. Nope, it's just the fifth season being garbage. S3 and S4 had bad episodes, but on average those seasons were at least 7/10. S5 is 5.5/10 *at best*.
Its simple, they are taunting people who enjoy R34. Rick n Morty incest baby, furry r34 with the dragons, brony r34 with this episode. Next is pokemon and anime lmao
@@mimszanadunstedt441 I...honestly think it's still hypocritical. People always discuss/joke about butts, boobs, and genitals, yet frown upon other fetishes. Incest is a taboo, so that's understandable.
I like the idea, but that wouldn't be a very long animated atrocities episode. I think it should be about all the modern ads that try to be hip and cool, which includes the Grubhub and Kroger ad.
This show has slowly transformed from a more off the wall Futurama to South Park if South Park took itself seriously and the worst South Park episodes are the ones that take themselves seriously
*Confession Time:* I have NEVER been interested in Rick & Morty. Not sure why -- maybe it's because I don't like the design aesthetic. In the past, I felt very guilty about this. I no longer do. Thank you, John.
As for the stuff about Rick being out of character; I saw a theory about that while back which suggests that he is deliberately out of character as a clue that this season is not following our usual group. Two variations exist; one is that this is a backstory of how Evil Morty comes to be, and another that it's a backstory of our rick with his original family before jumping into the universe with the family we've been following and how he becomes so jaded.
@@williamwhite1036 well it has 5 more seasons coming so it has plenty of time to outdo itself in being terrible. At least we still have Season 3 of Tuca and Bertie and hopefully season 4 of Final Space.
@@epicgamer127thehedgehog2 remember when this show was about a mad scientist and his idiot grandson exploring random sci-fi concepts in weird and fun ways and not about a kid wanting to screw everything in sight? Those were great times.
Now that you brought it up, a part of me wonders how long Dan Harmon planned on making this series until that additional 100 episodes deal was made. On another note, the first two seasons had 1 episode each that was just the family sitting down watching interdimensional cable. Season 3 onwards, barely any mention of the cable and mostly replaced with the memory viewer machine. Coincidence? Maybe. But it's something to think about.
Speaking of web series. And I know this doesn't have to do with Helluva Boss or anything the creator of that show made. I still want to know what Mr. Enter's thoughts on the Rooster Teeth series, RWBY, are.
@@dylansmith5206 I'm Sure if he was interested in it; he would've already have covered it in either an Animated Atrocity OR Admirable Animation about it by now
I remember watching seasons 1-2 of r&m and laughing til I cried way back when, I watched that mafia parody which everyone kept saying was so funny in the most recent season and I think I chuckled twice, like it wasnt terrible, it was still of decent quality, but I just didn't care for it like I used to .
final space has too much tonal whiplash for my taste, and that's coming from someone who doesn't feel like the same applies to r&m, at least to that extent
9:02 Kinda sad th show created a new character to give Rick a rival when we had a perfectly good rival in the form of that alien scientist from the Season 2 episode where rick reveals he made a pocket universe to act as a battery for his card I don't remember that alien's name, but perfectly remember how he always managed to somehow kept up with rick's inventions, even when they were left both trapped in a prehistoric like environment I am pretty sure they can always bring back that alien saying he found a way to grew himself up to rick's battery pocket universe in his car, given that alien seemed as smart as rick himself
Not all the episodes are trash, some are rather great. Astounding is there were at least 2 series great episodes in the currently worst season that was 3. But there is an increasing number of absolute stinkers.
Two episodes I really like are the season 2 finale and a lot a people will disagree with me on this one the ABCs of Beth idk to me it did a lot for her character one of the reasons I see why a lot of people hated the episode is because at the start of season 3 and kinda at the end of season 2 Beth more or less held Rick in high regards like when she told jerry that she didn’t want Rick to leave again then in the ABCs of Beth she was really mad at Rick and seemed really mad at him honestly if I was in beths position and had a father like Rick I would probably react the same way because yeah Rick is and was a awful father
My theory for why this episode exists is that the Morty who wished incest porn had a more mainstream appeal got his wish, but the wish was granted by the Devil
Throughout this entire review, I kept asking myself, "How would the sperm monsters make an *incest* baby?" Like, seriously, do they fertilize an egg from that was from a family member of whoever the sperm belonged to? I just don't fucking get it.
It's not explained by Mr. Enter, but after Rick loses communication with the President they have a plan B where they enlarge Summer's (Morty's sister's) egg to lure all the sperm and launch it into space. After learning this plan, Morty admits the sperm is his and the rest of the episode is just defending the egg (which fails).
@@Dexterspet yeah, man... shit is so damn weird, couldn't they have chosen someone else's egg to use? Why Summer's of all people? 'Oh, then we wouldn't have tension about creating a giant incest baby during the reveal by Morty.' BUT. WHY. Must it be an incest baby to begin with!? I feel just morty making a giant space baby was interesting enough, the whole incest shit just makes it so much worse. Also this isn't even the first time morty conceived a child, remember the episode where Rick bought him that sex robot and he had an alien human hybrid baby? This isn't even a new idea!
You can care about heinous criminals like Eustass Kid from One Piece, but you can’t relate to the experiences they have. For example Eustass Kid goes raping, stealing, and crucifying everybody he comes across, and you can care about a person like that because of their dreams and aspirations, but you can’t relate to a person like Eustass Kid because he’s the most heinous criminal imaginable, so Mr.Enter’s point was that you as the audience can care about Rick and his family, but you can’t relate to them at all because how fucked up they are all, so they keep trying to force the audience to try to relate those characters whereas an author like Oda knows nobody can relate to Eustass Kid, but they can like his character and see where he’s coming from in the main story.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr but that's the thing, a lot of people can relate to them because alot of people can relate to that "fucked up"-ness, existential dred, unfilteredness, cynicism, the feeling that society's norms are often petty, shallow, arbitrary and restrictive, the notion that intelligence makes both an outcast and/ or underappreciated even misanthropy to an extent are extremely relatable for some and it's often cathartic to see characters who behave like unfiltered or unpolished people instead of putting on the nice socially acceptable face, especially when those characters are of the intelligent/insightful variety. There's an entire trope of characters who are the "likable asshole" and a high percentage of those who are also"the smartest guy in the room". Take for example ( a character who I think is the best comparison to Rick possible) Dr. Gregory House or most modern versions of Sherlock Holmes, social isolationist misanthropes all, but usually in a very relatable way right? Add to this that like I said a lot of people don't consider morality to be the end all be all of a character and that sometimes even morally reprehensible characters can be inspiring if they have a high degree of merit in another area. Possibly the best example of an extremely immoral character with a lot of other desirable qualities is most versions of Hannibal Lecter, insane cannibal yes, but also an extremely refined gentleman who is highly cultured and can read and manipulate people like open books, an extremely desirable and admirable skill. In short, you take highly competent or intelligent character, give them relatable problems and the ability to act organically human, unfiltered and free from social niceties, put them in front of people who are capable of de-prioritizing moality or focusing on other merits or who even might find some aspects of morality to be arbitrary, naive or perfectionist and boom suddenly it makes a lot more sense no?
@@daltonmortimer7735 Again, House is only relatable because the show gives you glimpses of the cracks behind his persona Even from watching just s1 you can tell that a lot of his condescending jerk routine is an act, a shield he puts to protect himself from connections and emotional pain And we see that in actuality he does care for patients more than any other doctor. He's just strict and sometimes condescending to them to prevent them from making a stupid choice like he did to not amputate his leg
Ie, house is a tragedy that works because you can relate to the sadness of the character. The missing opportunity, the lost life he could have had, had he been less arrogant when the medical error that ruined his leg was found This kind of thing can't work in a comedy. Because in a comedy, even in the best ones, jokes usually trump character depth
They hated Vindicators? Throwing us into the “third part” was kind of weird, but I thought that episode was hilarious with Rick setting them all up because he could
My issue with Vindicators was that even for the show it came across as way too mean-spirited even by the standards of Rick and Morty, also it's because I found its whole Deconstruction of Superhero tropes to come across as being shallow as a kiddie pool.
@@KhaosAdmiral Yeah, it was just the same old "Superheroes aren't completely moral characters" trope we've already seen before in other shows and movies but done in the laziest way possible. Honestly, it would have been funnier if while at the meeting talking about WorldEnder, Rick fiddled with something on his phone or something, and basically took out/captured Worldender. Especially since A) he didn't want to be there in the first place and would want to get this shit done as quickly as possible and B) to rub it in Morty's and Vindicators' faces of how completely useless they are.
The problem is when the Vindicators, or at least the sole surviving member is revealed to be evil at the very end with no prior build-up. And then she gets away.

The reason why “Sticky” helped Morty is because Morty freed its tail from under a rock. It’s like that Greek tale of a guy tamed a lion by fixing it paw from a thorn.

It was a mouse not a guy.
There’s 2 versions of that story. One is _The Lion & The Mouse_ by Aesop, the other is a legend of a man named Androcles who befriended a wild lion by removing a thorn from his paw.

@@JohnDoe-uf3lj Plus they had the episode with Morty's half-alien son anyway. We don't need more than 1 episode about Morty doing a robot.
Im tired of the show feeling condescending
“If you can see it coming it’s not funny.”
I would make a joke about that sentence, but it might be too obvious.
12:26 If the President is supposed to be sexist why is one of his generals a woman? Why is he asking if she has any ideas. I think he's ignoring Summer because she isn't qualified to give an opinion, not because she's a girl. After all, she's only there because she's related to Rick.
Oh my god that's brilliant. Yet another example of a blatant plot hole in this episode, which demonstrates how little effort was really put into writing it.
No, given the diversity hires writing this season, I think they were completely sincere. It seems like the type of self-righteous shit that is common these days.
@@stevens7443 it's a loose thread the writers didn't pull that could have added a layer of complexity. Or, the character designers just made a mistake.
The actual quotes in the episode show that he was meant to be seen as sexist
"Misogyny is bad."
Yeah, we know.
"Misogyny is bad."
Right, got it.
"Misogyny is bad."
Thank you!
"Misogyny is bad."
Shut up, already!
and even then, i highly doubt this episode is gonna change some sexist asshats views just like that
Was that the intended takeaway from this episode, I thought people just didn't like it because it was a grossout episode.
I KNOW! I got it, I got the concept!
It beats us over the head with it like a drunk beats his wife!!
To paraphrase-quote the Story Train episode:
“...our potential isn’t limitless; you’ll... burn us out.”
And yet there's still more seasons to be created.
Also kinda bad that they get an injection of fresh blood into the writers' room and they're already burned out.
@@demon2441 thats kinda like disney's issue back when they got new writers, there was a difference of opinion and a rift being made because of it
Story Train? As in… that one kids show?
@@davyjones3105 Pretty sure they're referring to that one season 4 Rick and Morty episode.
@@demon2441 but is it about Driver Dan’s Story Train?
Fun fact: During the featurette, the writers basically had no idea what to say about this episode. Dan Harmon jokingly mentioned in it that he wanted to see Morty riding a giant sperm, for some inexplicable reason. Most infamously one of the writers admitted he had no idea how this was allowed on television. What I don't know is how Dan Harmon can look at the Vindicators episode and deem that the worst episode but give this episode his approval.
I think even Rick and Morty are tired of being philosophical and just want to have fun... but their definition of fun is kinda disgusting
i will admit i didn't h@t3 this but i have a high tolerance for gross humor.
good
It's like South Park.The show got rid of simple fun and replaced it with preachy philosophical bullshit.
@@mr.badass9442 south park was always political hell the satire is why the show works in the first place.
@@ddjsoyenby it sucks that you censored hate
The whole episode I was waiting for the moment where Rick would reveal to Morty that he was playing dumb the whole time just because he thought it was funny but it never came.
why would he just assume he came into the barrel in the first place
Honestly that would've been hilarious.
@@EpicFableBean Because he's the smartest man in the universe and Morty was acting hella sus.
This episode was such a letdown. I mean, I was expecting a herd of Morty-horse hybrids, not giant sperm monsters nor an incest baby. At least in Rick Potion #9, they took the time to show how Morty using a love potion on his crush led to a world of Cronenberg-monsters, and it made sense (in context).
What the f*** is wrong with this show
I just didn't understand why what technically the bio-weapon which in this case an "anti-human" weapon was sperm monsters. I was moreso thinking it would be some kind of monstrous entity that exploited our species weaknesses or be like a virus or something
@@jaygooese4242 it doesn’t give a f*** anymore, which is both its strength and weakness.
@@jaygooese4242
First it went overboard with shock humour, then tried to explore "deeper subjects" 🙄🙄
That's like family guy having "serious episodes." You just can't take them seriously...
What kills me is that Venture Bros didn't get it's final season just because they wanted more of THIS.
That would be the biggest letdown.
At least it and Metalocolypse are getting movies. While Final Space season 4 is in confirmation limbo.
What kills me is that Tuca and Bertie, which already has a pretty crappy history behind it with Pornflix canceling it after one season and it getting shat on by a vocal minority of jerks gets picked up and advertised...only for it to be preempted by Rick and Bore-ty.
That's fine
@@eatatjoes6751 tf are you talking about "Pornflix"? Was that supposed to be clever? Also Tuca & Bertie is on Adult Swim now, so you can save your griping
Also, I think the show was at it’s absolute peak in seasons 1-2 because it did dissect the characters, but did so in a way that pertained to the plot of each episode without becoming preachy. In fact, if you rewatch Season 2, Rick has a full on character arc that begins in the very first episode, "A Rickle in Time."
Rick freezes time to avoid the consequences of the house party he threw. But, as a result of his actions, he ends up breaking time with Morty and Summer’s uncertainty, which spirals into a whole song and dance of convoluted, yet funny hijinks. However, as time begins to fall apart at the seams, Morty falls into the vacuum of space time after failing to put his collar on. So, Rick makes the bold and selfless choice to sacrifice his life to save Morty’s by giving Morty his collar.
Then, we enter S2E3, the Unity episode. We learn that Rick once dated a hive mind that assimilates entire planets of species, and Rick seems happy. However, his toxic behavior and alcoholism becomes a negative influence on Unity, resulting in "it" losing control. Morty and Summer attempt to reason with Rick and convince him to come home, put he tells them to shove it. Unity begins to feel remorse for letting Rick push his grandkids away and leaves the planet while Rick is using the bathroom. We learn through a series of notes that Unity left Rick because of his refusal to change as a person and that "it" could no longer be around him for that very reason. Rick returns home and we witness a reluctant Beth delicately attempt to address an alien Rick’s been keeping under the garage, but her fear of abandonment made it all the more harder for her to do so. Rick enters the garage and begins toying with a device which we learn he attempts to use to commit suicide, but passes out before he could succeed.
Then there’s "Get Shwifty," where we see a disgruntled Morty take Rick’s portal gun after Rick refused to use it to save his family out of laziness. Rick soon realizes the gravity of the situation and attempts to create another hit song with the help of Ice T, but Ice’s apathy towards the universe and it’s lack of meaning prevent him from committing to it. It’s then where we get a brief yet insightful quote from Rick that reveals his regret for how he’s lived his life. "Take it from me, Ice. You can’t just float around the universe not caring about stuff forever." And during Morty’s B plot, Bird Person saves a helpless Morty and takes him back to his place to recuperate. Bird Person reveals that Rick is the only reason he’s alive at all and how he has a good heart deep down, even if he doesn’t always express it. This motivates Morty to return to Rick and the two hash things out by performing a new hit song, thus saving Earth.
Fast forward to the season finale "The Wedding Squanchers" and the Smith family and Rick are going to Bird Person’s wedding. Rick expresses deep rooted hatred for marriage after his own failed marriage and expresses concern about the legitimacy of the marriage. But, he eventually swallows his pride and makes a toast to opening himself up to others as well as friendship and love. Unfortunately, Rick’s concerns would turn out to be true as Tammy ends up being an undercover agent for the galactic federation whom Rick, Squanchy, and Bird Person had fought against in the name of freedom. Tammy kills Bird Person and Rick wails with sorrow and shock. He manages to get his family out safe and they end up colonizing a tiny planet while Earth is being overthrown by the federation. Jerry puts his foot down, calling Beth out for letting Rick endanger the safety of their children, and suggests turning him over to the government. Rick overhears their conversation as Beth shouts at Jerry for not wanting her father to leave her life again. Rick’s face is ridden with guilt and he ultimately decides to give himself up to the federation to give his family their lives back.
With so much growth over the span of the season, you’d think we’d get a more developed Rick, but then the new writers for season 3 completely retcon Rick’s sacrifice so the show could have 100 more episodes instead of sticking to a more linear narrative.
For me the series ended at the first episode of season 3, with a few exceptions
The worst part is that the incest baby appears later in the Voltron parody episode.....
And knowing the writers, the more the audience complains about that thing, the more it is gonna appear
I heard the name of the baby was naruto but I don’t get the joke
@@edgycuckboi35 That one is more talking about the running Naruto does for the anime. You remember that one meme about Area 51 a couple of years ago? That one that we'd more likely want to forget about now? If you saw that one news clip in regards to that dumbass shit, you know what the run I'm talking about refers to.
@@crazyluigi6664 I get it now before I thought they were just dissing Naruto in some weird way
Yeah, idk who the writers are now, but they're major douche trolls.
and they named it "naruto" WHY?
Since season 3 Rick and Morty slowly transformed in just another adult cartoon sitcom.
-"Yeah the plot it's about the sperm becoming giants, and the President want to stop it with the help of a family, also horses living underground, then giant baby in space."
-"Oh it's a nice plot, but isn't the show about a teen and is grandpa going into space and dimensions?"
-"What? I thought I was writting the script for South Park... or was it Family Guy?"
South Park would have been more smart about it.
@@YujiUedaFan i highly doubt it
Tbf that wouldn't be so out of place in modern South Park or Family Guy
@@YujiUedaFan Have you seen PC principal?
Family Guy is a wellspring of poison, trickling into other shows.

Synopsis for the Mr Enter movie
Seeing the behind the scenes for this episode... not even the show creators seemed to understand what or why this episode was.
one of the writers in the "behind the scenes" segment literally said that they think the episode turned out "disgusting and tasteless"
@@raine6813 makes you wonder why they thought to go with it
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Because Harmon really wanted to make it, it seems.
They knew what they were doing. Just because you don’t like doesn’t mean they don’t.
@@willhiggins9563 So did you listen to the behind the scenes?
I feel like Rickdependence Spray is what everyone who hasn't watched Rick and Morty thinks the whole show is like 🤔
I don’t even watch the show anymore and i know it’s normally not THIS awful.
My first Rick and Morty episodes were actually Season 5 ones (because they were all up on UA-cam for free and I thought “why not?”) but after a few episodes I checked out lmao. Based on everyone’s opinions I should probably watch the first two seasons before forming my opinion though.
Lmao I avoided rick and morty for ages because I thought the entire show was like this. I’m watching it now for the first time and loving it lol, currently on season 3
What annoys me about this episode, other than the gratuidous amount of semen in the episode, is how Rick didn't suspect Morty did something to the semen in the first place. Surely Rick would've suspected something was wrong with the semen when Morty was acting like the way he was in the opening scene, but because the plot required him to not know about that till later he had to give in to Morty's lie at the start because plot.
Yeah morty isnt the best liar and rick has caught on to when he is before so it is dumb that he didnt figure it out 🤦🏽
I feel like it might be because of how season 4 ended. It just feels like rick is trying not to push everyone away again.
The fact that Morty lied for a long time about his semen in the barrel also pissed me off. Like I know Morty’s just a teen who gets his wiener in everything, and is shy about his sex stuff, but so far, I’d expect him to at least say “hey don’t touch that, that’s my stuff in my barrel” or at least a little bit of damage control. It felt so much like an Idiot Plot to me because of that.
SMARTEST MAN IN THE UNIVERSE INDEED
I think they High when were making this show
It feels like Season 5 as a whole is placing a lot more emphasis on Rick and Morty's adventures being... wacky. Out there. Y'know? This episode was probably the biggest example of that, but the turkey episode later has that left field high concept show up out of nowhere in the last act.
Wacky out-of-character adventures.
its always been wacky....
The Turkey episode was pretty good in my opinion
Regular Show's Thanksgiving Special is better, even if it is basically How Donald Trump Stole Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃
I think they made Rick fail so much this season because there were complains about him being overpowered previously. They did a bad job at fixing it if that is the case.
Next season he turns into Peter Griffin and the one after that Homer Simpson.
nah it seems the same to me
I was thinking the same thing, I mean in the season opener he didn't even really do anything, loses and gets arrested by the end. In hindsight I found that funny since he has never lost before, but now he's losing constantly or just doing nothing.
He’s supposed to be overpowered. He’s a crazy, dangerous pseudo-villain. And that’s what we all like about him.
@@Vulpes_Ailurus Do you literally mean everyone? Some people really dislike Rick being overpowered.
Honestly, Rick comes across as more fed up this season. Like with Mr. Nimbus (who’s a parody of Submariner, not Aquaman) he’s most likely trying to avoid going to war with mermaid people because he’s not in the mood for it. In this episode, he didn’t seem like he wanted to Deal with Morty’s nonsense, so he’s like “fuck it!”(doesn’t really excuse the poor quality of the episode, though). In the episode with the turkey president, Morty suggested blowing up the Washington Monument and Rick responds with “do you want to go through this again next year?”.
I think he’s getting tired of putting the weight of everyone’s problems on his shoulders. He may be smart, but he’s not immune to emotional overrides. Like Tony Stark in Iron Man 3
Agreed, I just wish the show would focus on his "doneness" a lot more. I think that would've made the last few episodes better, comparing and contrasting his and Morty's moods.
I don't think that Rick is our Rick.
yeah.
Absolutely, Rick gets tired of this shit sometimes.
More like he's sick of his family because of their stupidity but at the same time, needs company.
or, laconically:
On Tonight's Episode: The Writer's Barely Disguised Fetish
When a DM does something like this is a tabletop RPG, it's called "Magical Realming" and is a prime reason to punch your DM in the face and get a new DM. Doing it as a TV writer is even nastier.
@@CantusTropus Altenatively, if your DM just likes making horrible goblins kill you all the time in nasty ways, then make your next PC The Goblin Slayer.
The problem with Rick and Morty is they blew their load too soon. Rick taking down the entire galactic federation should’ve been the show’s endgame. By having him accomplish what he’s been fighting against for over 50 years in just 2 seasons showed the audience how unstoppable he was. So now the show has to do what most long-running shonen anime does and depower, dumb down, and or make Rick act out of character in order to keep telling stories.
The pickle Rick Mconald's thing always gives me secondhand embarrassment, even after seeing it several times.
I fully agree with you Enter. I enjoyed the earlier seasons of Rick and Morty, but it just seems to be getting worse and worse as the seasons go on. I tried watching the newest season, but it feels unsalvageable after the first few episodes.
The one Adult Swim series that I felt always kept up and was quality all the way through was Venture Brothers.
I agree Venture Bros. was def consistent
disagree
I gave up after season 4 TBH. I could see that season 5 was just going to retcon all rushed character development Rick had at the end of season 4 and that the other Beth goes away forever quicker than the aliens who invaded Earth in season 2 left at the start of season 3.
Venture bros will always be one of my fav shows
As Morty put it, "this is out there, even for them."
Even the people who made this episode didn't like making it.
How do you know?
@@cedenoa001 in a behind the scenes clip from this episode, they said it was tasteless and awful lmao
so?
They're probably saying that to save face
Well the random references to different properties that might be owned by their higher corporations, might have been forced onto them. 'You gotta reference a commercial millenials saw, you gotta reference a movie we own that millenials saw, blablabla'
To be fair to Nimbus, it makes sense that Rick would keep quiet about him because Nimbus is the equivalent of that guy you knew from high school who ended up super successful while Rick is the guy who never left town. Seeing Nimbus fills Rick with shame because this guy is walking proof that he is nothing but a sad old drunk.
Yes, Nimbus, like everyone else, sees Rick exactly for what he is: a pathetic alcoholic hiding behind his intelligence.
The only person looking up to Rick at that point was Beth.
I was so shocked that Rick and Morty did a basic liar revealed plot.
can we just talk about how impossible it is for Morty to have filled an entire industrial sized barrel with s***n in a week? I don't think he could've filled that barrel if he was in their for a YEAR let alone a week.
It probably wasnt all his, just mixed it.
I remember a 4chan dude filled 3 bottles of semen in 3 years, and that was considered impressive and even companies tried to contact him to know his method.
I’m more bothered by the fact that this is a 14 year old. Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland really wanted to make an episode about a 14 year old doing this shit.
he didnt fill the entire barrel. My god are people that stupid. It was the fact there was some human DNA in there regardless
@@HeilRay It was all his because none of the horse bioweapons survived only his semen did
I’d like to imagine one of the writers was slamming their fists against the table demanding summer and morty conceive a child until the rest of the writers begrudgingly agreed to write this episode

“Then get your hand off your FUCKING crotch and write some real FUCKING jokes!” - Mr. Enter

Infinity Train and it’s community has to fight for the mere possibility to finish the show.
Rick and Morty gets 100 episodes for nothing.
What a world.
Hell, glitch techs is still fighting their battle to get relevant, even though the pilot was amazing, and the concept definitely marketable, especially since they appeal to one of the biggest audience's right now; gamers. So there's something for you to chew on
Good shows will always come to an end, one way or another. Bad shows will always stick around way too fucking long, like a parasite leeching off of society.

@@eatatjoes6751 Nick will kill anything else that isn't SpongeBob and the new writers at the Simpsons are dumbasses who peed on the formula.
The Gotron episode that came after this one was better as it did play up how fucking batshit insane and obsessive Rick can get when he finds something he wants to do. But the ending itself was completely out of character. There was no way Rick would be unable to kill off the original Gotron team after they turned on him, but the episode needed to shoehorn in the "family sticks together" message and have his family and giant incest baby come to save the day.
Summer as well learning what being Rick’s sidekick really entails on an emotional level. It’s a way of talking to the audience, saying to them “this guy you admire, here’s the consequences of wanting to be by his side”.
Anyone else notice that the raunchiest episodes of Rick and Morty are consistently the most panned?
Oh my god I just realized that
Stick to classy humor, RAM. It's what you're good at.
Because they suck
@@jagerzaku9160
One could even say they blow.
I actually liked "Get Shwifty" but not for the song itself. I liked the concept of Rick and Morty being forced to create and perform a catchy song to save Earth. And as you said, the two subplots were really interesting. I liked seeing Morty stand up for himself and take Rick’s portal gun to attempt to find his family, while also seeing Bird Person again and getting brief insight into his relationship with Rick. Also, I personally don’t think Rick was acting out of character, but just felt like screwing around before abandoning Earth like in Rick Potion #9, which Morty obviously stops him from doing. That’s another trait that Rick lost after season 2, he doesn’t expend the effort of creating things to resolve conflict, he just packs up and moves to a different reality because he couldn’t be bothered to. The only times we saw Rick actually try to resolve a conflict is when his portal gun runs out of juice or breaks. In fact, Rick was ready to abandon Earth in "Lawnmower Dog" if Jerry didn’t talk him out of it.
I'll
Season 4: Everyone was offended by "c*m gutters".
Season 5: "Hold my sesh-waan sauce!"
The fact that the writers are gonna keep that giant incest baby in space thing going now makes me hate this season that much more. Fuck, this show has gone so downhill in quality.
So you're also the type of fan of Rick And Morty that gets arrested out of a McDonald's. Good to know that your mind is rotting just like the show.
But in all seriousness, acting like this will only make the show even more hated that it already is. Unless you want people to genuinely believe what I said in the first paragraph, stop with that type of behavior. It may be funny on the show, but in real life it makes people want to deck you at the absolute least. You don't want people thinking like that about you when doxxing is becoming more common, and you don't want to have that 100 episode contract potentially broken and the show getting cancelled because you and other people like you couldn't keep their biases from turing them toxic. Or do you want just that?

An important rule of comedy is that it should always fit the story, world, and characters. Sadly, this show seems to put everything aside for gags that, frankly, aren’t even funny.
You even watch the show regularly, I gotta account for character growth.
So, family guy?

I Like that show;
But There are GOOD Modern Adult Cartoons such as Bob's Burgers & Close Enough; as well as Classics like "The Critic"
Idk bobs burgers is pretty great.
At least for the first 9 seasons.
Ya know, this is part of a theory I have. When a person makes a cartoon, they must determine how many episodes it must be. It may have a small number or a big number, but it comes to how well the creator handles it. They must determine how much story each episode has. A good example is Gravity Falls, which became one of the best shows of all time and yet with 40 episodes. I’m not saying the number of episodes determine the shows success, it’s up to the weight the creator carries the shows.
I mean, when most typical cartoons last only 13-26 episodes, a more concise series tends to be favored.
Then studios want to add more, if it makes good merchandising money, and that can drown out a show's quality.
With get schwifty thing it's less of rick doing something for the authorities and more of rick not wanting to go through hassle of finding another dimension after the inevitable destruction of the Earth because all the other songs suck.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, sorta deal.
You know what I find especially weird about the whole sexism subplot? The offending lines are almost all coming from the show's black president character. The character whom, at the time of his introduction, seems like he was meant to be a rough stand-in for then-president Obama. With that said, I gotta wonder: who is this subplot actually being aimed at? Because it sure as hell doesn't seem to be meant for the same type of woke lefties who write this show.
I feel sorry for Obama...before he even got elected, the first black president was already being treated like a meme. Both by liberals and conservatives, apparently.
I completely agree with you. I still like Rick and Morty but it just doesn’t feel special anymore. It’s quite sad to see how quick this show fell.

Rickdependence Spray had to be the worst episode of the show without a doubt.
Season 5 in my opinion has been actually pretty bad as a whole so far.
The Voltron episode and the first episode were good. The rest were all over the place
I think season 5 was great except for this one and episode 5
The first three episodes were really good imo. Especially the premiere.
I thought I had rose-colored glasses on and only thought the old seasons were better because they were old. Went to rewatch them. Nope, it's just the fifth season being garbage. S3 and S4 had bad episodes, but on average those seasons were at least 7/10. S5 is 5.5/10 *at best*.
I've heard that the characters are not acting in character in this season.
You manage to express all of my troubles with this episode just nicely, thank you.

This show has slowly transformed from a more off the wall Futurama to South Park if South Park took itself seriously and the worst South Park episodes are the ones that take themselves seriously
The show has slowly transformed into a wackier version of the Simpsons. I'm surprised, but not stunned.

As for the stuff about Rick being out of character; I saw a theory about that while back which suggests that he is deliberately out of character as a clue that this season is not following our usual group. Two variations exist; one is that this is a backstory of how Evil Morty comes to be, and another that it's a backstory of our rick with his original family before jumping into the universe with the family we've been following and how he becomes so jaded.
Season 5 is the worst Rick and Morty season.
Big facts. The show should just end now
I think season 5 is the best season so far, in my opinion.
@@williamwhite1036 well it has 5 more seasons coming so it has plenty of time to outdo itself in being terrible. At least we still have Season 3 of Tuca and Bertie and hopefully season 4 of Final Space.
@@epicgamer127thehedgehog2 remember when this show was about a mad scientist and his idiot grandson exploring random sci-fi concepts in weird and fun ways and not about a kid wanting to screw everything in sight? Those were great times.
Season 5 isn’t as bad a season 4 but not as good as season 3. Season 5 is mediocre but somehow a bit worse than the middling season 4
After watching the planetina episode I thought Morty was finally growing as a character. This episode through all of that in the garbage.
God damn man this was FAST
Now that you brought it up, a part of me wonders how long Dan Harmon planned on making this series until that additional 100 episodes deal was made.
On another note, the first two seasons had 1 episode each that was just the family sitting down watching interdimensional cable. Season 3 onwards, barely any mention of the cable and mostly replaced with the memory viewer machine. Coincidence? Maybe. But it's something to think about.
@Dancing Israeli Not backwards...
Rick and Morty High Point was definently Season 1-2
the ending and opening edits were funny as shit lmao
Have u seen any web series like “Helluva Boss”? I call it one of the better adult cartoons.
I'M NOT GETTING INTO THAT OPENLY SATANIC SHOW!!
Speaking of web series.
And I know this doesn't have to do with Helluva Boss or anything the creator of that show made.
I still want to know what Mr. Enter's thoughts on the Rooster Teeth series, RWBY, are.
@@dylansmith5206
I'm Sure if he was interested in it; he would've already have covered it in either an Animated Atrocity OR Admirable Animation about it by now
This episode was too much for a lot of people including myself and I've been a huge fan of the show since day one.
I don't know why but when Enter yelled "Why?!" made Mr lost my shit XD
This is the best review i've seen in a long time. Analytical pedantic bliss
Love the movie maker title and credits, and the old school music. I miss those days of UA-cam.
Me too. Where does the time go?!
You did a episode on The Magic School Bus Rides Agian?! Can't wait to see it!
Edit: I saw it on season 7 playlist
same here
@Phoebe LaRose Yay!!!
It’s in Animated Atrocities Season 7. It just never pops up in feeds
@@anonymousinkproductions8624 Do you know what the deleted video is?
@@thelastprotectorofoverain1035 The Magic Schoolbus Rides Again
Your first mistake was thinking that Rick and Morty is a smart and deep show.
A other Rick and Morty atrocitie how sweet
I remember watching seasons 1-2 of r&m and laughing til I cried way back when, I watched that mafia parody which everyone kept saying was so funny in the most recent season and I think I chuckled twice, like it wasnt terrible, it was still of decent quality, but I just didn't care for it like I used to .
I've been a fan of your for years and I gotta say, I love the new art for the avatar.
That Pickle Rick McDonald's guy was acting.
Methinks Mr. Enter likes saying the phrase "fighting sperm monsters to stop them from creating an incest baby."
You know what show is like Rick and Morty except you actually care about the characters? Final Space.
final space has too much tonal whiplash for my taste, and that's coming from someone who doesn't feel like the same applies to r&m, at least to that extent
I tried and never got into it.
Isn't Venture Bros like that too with the anger elemental that is Brock Mother fucking Sampson?
Take a drink every time he says "Giant sperm monsters creating/trying to create a giant incest baby."
Welp, I'm dead.
*Drunk Demoman Noises*
I just wanted to let you know that this episode was in my recommended, even tho I haven't checked your channel in a very long time. Great vid btw
Enter: The entire episode is like this. Like they just wanted to rub one out and get it over with.
Me: "Dies of laughter given the episode topic"
9:02 Kinda sad th show created a new character to give Rick a rival when we had a perfectly good rival in the form of that alien scientist from the Season 2 episode where rick reveals he made a pocket universe to act as a battery for his card
I don't remember that alien's name, but perfectly remember how he always managed to somehow kept up with rick's inventions, even when they were left both trapped in a prehistoric like environment
I am pretty sure they can always bring back that alien saying he found a way to grew himself up to rick's battery pocket universe in his car, given that alien seemed as smart as rick himself
Also the devil was in a season 1 episode. He could come back.
Lesson number one of Rick and Morty: all the interesting characters are seen once or twice and never shown again.
@@Vulpes_Ailurus That reminds me, wasn't there another beloved show that had all the best characters killed off or never return?
@@YujiUedaFan You Mean Final Space?
EVEN Though they TOTALLY Brought back Avacato Because of how much people wanted him back?!!
How is it "sad" to create a new character?
The fact that there isn't an Animated Atrocities episode for every Rick and Morty episode astounds me.
Not all the episodes are trash, some are rather great. Astounding is there were at least 2 series great episodes in the currently worst season that was 3.
But there is an increasing number of absolute stinkers.
Two episodes I really like are the season 2 finale and a lot a people will disagree with me on this one the ABCs of Beth idk to me it did a lot for her character one of the reasons I see why a lot of people hated the episode is because at the start of season 3 and kinda at the end of season 2 Beth more or less held Rick in high regards like when she told jerry that she didn’t want Rick to leave again then in the ABCs of Beth she was really mad at Rick and seemed really mad at him honestly if I was in beths position and had a father like Rick I would probably react the same way because yeah Rick is and was a awful father
There's nothing wrong with you having an unpopular opinion, but it's not astounding that it isn't reflected in UA-cam reviews.
@@TheFire1290 It isn't. Most reviewers are the common denominator, which Rick and Morty tends to appeal to.
@@nicksrandomreviews Your comments are laughably pretentious.
My theory for why this episode exists is that the Morty who wished incest porn had a more mainstream appeal got his wish, but the wish was granted by the Devil
Throughout this entire review, I kept asking myself, "How would the sperm monsters make an *incest* baby?" Like, seriously, do they fertilize an egg from that was from a family member of whoever the sperm belonged to?
I just don't fucking get it.
It's not explained by Mr. Enter, but after Rick loses communication with the President they have a plan B where they enlarge Summer's (Morty's sister's) egg to lure all the sperm and launch it into space. After learning this plan, Morty admits the sperm is his and the rest of the episode is just defending the egg (which fails).
@@Dexterspet I-
what
the fuck.
who approved this shit
@@Dexterspet yeah, man... shit is so damn weird, couldn't they have chosen someone else's egg to use? Why Summer's of all people? 'Oh, then we wouldn't have tension about creating a giant incest baby during the reveal by Morty.' BUT. WHY. Must it be an incest baby to begin with!? I feel just morty making a giant space baby was interesting enough, the whole incest shit just makes it so much worse. Also this isn't even the first time morty conceived a child, remember the episode where Rick bought him that sex robot and he had an alien human hybrid baby? This isn't even a new idea!
You can still care about "awful " people because morality isn't the only merit to judge people on
You can care about heinous criminals like Eustass Kid from One Piece, but you can’t relate to the experiences they have. For example Eustass Kid goes raping, stealing, and crucifying everybody he comes across, and you can care about a person like that because of their dreams and aspirations, but you can’t relate to a person like Eustass Kid because he’s the most heinous criminal imaginable, so Mr.Enter’s point was that you as the audience can care about Rick and his family, but you can’t relate to them at all because how fucked up they are all, so they keep trying to force the audience to try to relate those characters whereas an author like Oda knows nobody can relate to Eustass Kid, but they can like his character and see where he’s coming from in the main story.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr Kid is a confirmed rapist?
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr but that's the thing, a lot of people can relate to them because alot of people can relate to that "fucked up"-ness, existential dred, unfilteredness, cynicism, the feeling that society's norms are often petty, shallow, arbitrary and restrictive, the notion that intelligence makes both an outcast and/ or underappreciated even misanthropy to an extent are extremely relatable for some and it's often cathartic to see characters who behave like unfiltered or unpolished people instead of putting on the nice socially acceptable face, especially when those characters are of the intelligent/insightful variety. There's an entire trope of characters who are the "likable asshole" and a high percentage of those who are also"the smartest guy in the room". Take for example ( a character who I think is the best comparison to Rick possible) Dr. Gregory House or most modern versions of Sherlock Holmes, social isolationist misanthropes all, but usually in a very relatable way right?
Add to this that like I said a lot of people don't consider morality to be the end all be all of a character and that sometimes even morally reprehensible characters can be inspiring if they have a high degree of merit in another area. Possibly the best example of an extremely immoral character with a lot of other desirable qualities is most versions of Hannibal Lecter, insane cannibal yes, but also an extremely refined gentleman who is highly cultured and can read and manipulate people like open books, an extremely desirable and admirable skill.
In short, you take highly competent or intelligent character, give them relatable problems and the ability to act organically human, unfiltered and free from social niceties, put them in front of people who are capable of de-prioritizing moality or focusing on other merits or who even might find some aspects of morality to be arbitrary, naive or perfectionist and boom suddenly it makes a lot more sense no?
@@daltonmortimer7735 Again, House is only relatable because the show gives you glimpses of the cracks behind his persona
Even from watching just s1 you can tell that a lot of his condescending jerk routine is an act, a shield he puts to protect himself from connections and emotional pain
And we see that in actuality he does care for patients more than any other doctor. He's just strict and sometimes condescending to them to prevent them from making a stupid choice like he did to not amputate his leg
Ie, house is a tragedy that works because you can relate to the sadness of the character. The missing opportunity, the lost life he could have had, had he been less arrogant when the medical error that ruined his leg was found
This kind of thing can't work in a comedy. Because in a comedy, even in the best ones, jokes usually trump character depth
You know it's bad if an Animated Attrocities episode is on something not even a year old, haha.
They hated Vindicators? Throwing us into the “third part” was kind of weird, but I thought that episode was hilarious with Rick setting them all up because he could
My issue with Vindicators was that even for the show it came across as way too mean-spirited even by the standards of Rick and Morty, also it's because I found its whole Deconstruction of Superhero tropes to come across as being shallow as a kiddie pool.
@@KhaosAdmiral Yeah, it was just the same old "Superheroes aren't completely moral characters" trope we've already seen before in other shows and movies but done in the laziest way possible. Honestly, it would have been funnier if while at the meeting talking about WorldEnder, Rick fiddled with something on his phone or something, and basically took out/captured Worldender. Especially since A) he didn't want to be there in the first place and would want to get this shit done as quickly as possible and B) to rub it in Morty's and Vindicators' faces of how completely useless they are.
They’re making a sequel episode and spin-off series based on it, so I feel like he might have gotten that wrong.
The problem is when the Vindicators, or at least the sole surviving member is revealed to be evil at the very end with no prior build-up. And then she gets away.
