There’s the one where aliens place Rick and Morty (and accidentally Jerry) in a simulation of their normal lives, hoping to trick Rick into giving them one of his technological secrets. The only way to stop a homicidal rampage is for Jerry to actually improve his golf game. Meeseeks all experiencing an existential crisis. This process repeats until there are dozens of Mr. The dad, Jerry, asks for help getting two strokes off his golf game, but he’s so bad at everything that the Meeseeks can’t help him, gets distraught, and hits the Meeseeks button itself, asking a second Meeseeks to help it help Jerry. Meeseeks pops into existence, solves a problem you set for it, and then de-manifests.
When the user hits a button, a humanoid Mr. In another episode, Rick gives the family a Mr. Then he achieves self-awareness, modifies his helmet to bestow super-intelligence, enslaves the family, and starts building an enhanced dog army. The dog spends a little while fetching slippers, using the toilet, etc. He pesters Rick until he solves the problem by putting an intelligence helmet on the dog. In one episode, Jerry is annoyed that the family dog is so stupid. The main draw of the show is its sheer inventiveness. For example, the failing marriage between Morty’s mom and dad, two deeply hurt and codependent people, is an ongoing topic across all episodes. It’s a zany sci-fi hijinks cartoon that also addresses the reality of human interaction. The relationship of these characters is one hint of the greatness of this show.
There’s also Morty’s sister, Summer, who is mostly interesting because she’s a normal teenage girl - she’s the only character who is not dysfunctional. This creates tension with her husband, Jerry, who does not like Rick because he makes him feel stupid (he is) and has a bad influence on his son. Rick has returned to the family after years of absence, and his daughter Beth has abandonment issues and is terrified he’ll leave again. The eponymous pair of the show is this super-genius, Rick and his rather stupid grandson, Morty. He built a butter-passing robot in like two minutes because he was lazy. He’s a man who built a robot at the breakfast table because he needed something to pass him the butter. This show is about a dimension-jumping intergalactic mad scientist with no moral compass, a cynical, alcoholic 60-year-old who is probably the smartest being in existence. and then think about what would happen if you moved that aesthetic from a show about community college to a show about a dimension-jumping intergalactic mad scientist with no moral compass.
Think about all the times Community got ridiculous - the Halloween zombie episode, the paintball episode, etc.
The absurdity coupled with the effectively limitless conceptual space of the SF setting results in a show that is constantly entertaining because it’s constantly new. It’s the baby of Dan Harmon, so if you liked the absolute absurdity of some of Community ’s plotlines, you’ll appreciate the same style. It is endlessly inventive, does not shy away from complexity, and does a surprisingly good job on exploring character traits for a 23-minute show.
Is there a tag to rick and morty season 1 episode 1 for free#
It’s also currently available for free on the Adult Swim website. I am extraordinarily late to this party, but Rick and Morty is the best currently-running cartoon on television.
