[@caleb1413]

Something about the first season just hits different. In some ways it feels like a different show than what came later. It's far more focused on parodying sci-fi cliches than on making fun of itself. The structure is much more intricate and there's less intentional deus ex machina. The pop culture references are subtle and aren't shoved in your face nearly as much, and most of Rick's meta moments could just as easily be dismissed as drunken ramblings. It's still cynical but in more of a playful and subversive way compared to the... for lack of a better word bitter feeling of a lot of later episodes. Season 1 is definitely my favorite in the show.

[@workinprogress1987]

I agree with everything except season 2 is my favorite. But I'm glad you enjoy season 1 that much!

@crumblyairship can you explain it in more details. I dont think anyone got that by watching the show.

I'd disagree about Jerry. Seasons 1 and 2 were the ones only ones where Jerry was not simply a punching bag, but a regular guy, who gets thrown into this world of wackiness and danger by his father-in-law without his consent.

[@PyroInTheFace21]

Episode 2 is so good that I forgot that the dog part was a B plot, AND as soon as you started recounting it, I yelled in my head "his NAME is SNOWBALL"

The Galactic Federation can only create portals within their own universe/dimension. Rick had to tinker with the Federation portal tech in order to get to jump dimensions.

Ahh okay

[@Trilobita98]

Good calling this out i was confused too

[@xseptit]

why is it called inter dimensional customs tho

[@SD_Koy]

The color of the portal is the giveaway for where it can go. Blue is same universe, green would be within Rick's collection of universes, and yellow is all (as far as I know, I am not an authority on this topic)

Season 1 and 2 felt like a fusion of Simpsons and Futurama, you had some continuity, but was mainly a problem of the week show. And the focus was actually on being funny and kept the surface level nihilism class moments few and far between. As soon as the writers added that self awareness in season 3, and firm continuity with the divorce plot line, the charm was gone.

[@jddi1527]

Yep

[@Yatezylad]

I really wish the fan base didn't have the reputation that they do. Also even early on you can see the weird stuff from Justin Roland. But this show used to be so good. I remember waiting for season 3 to release and it felt like forever

[@justinsonstkeiner6123]

4:50 what do you mean "few and far between"? the ENTIRE A-plot is a pop culture reference on Inception. I really dont understand why everyone protects the first seasons like that. I love all of rick and morty so far except for a few episodes. not entire seasons but episodes. But y'all hate seasons and newer episodes and argue with things they did since episode 2.

"that is some Jerry level Sh*t" is what Rick said about going to other planets in their solar system making a clear refrence to the season 1 episode I think it is clear that because Pluto isn't a planet anymore they are not invited- they need to get their sh*t together and get their planet classification back before they are allowed back

20:35 It’s “Something Rick-ed This Way Comes” not “Rickt”. It’s a clear reference to the book “Something Wicked This Way Comes” by Ray Bradbury

[@matthewarmstrong1528]

The phrase 'Something wicked this way comes' originates from the Shakespeare play 'Macbeth'

I like Jerry and Beth's marital problems. Divorce is a real dark issue in America that people don't like to talk about. Its so real and relatable and sad. Gives the show extra depth and emotion.

“Was it ever good?” Yes, in the first 3 seasons. Next question

Season 3 isn’t as bad as the later ones, but it’s a significant downgrade from the first 2

[@danhayward3057]

I think S6&7 actually have some of the best episodes of the show

That’s true

[@marko9695]

For some reason s1 and s2 were just so fresh. It was mostly a parody of sci fi tropes and it didnt want you to take it very seriously, it just wanted to be funny and entertaining. Then the serious moments hit that much harder. But after that it became something else, it started taking itself way too seriously and trying too hard while at the same time appearing not to try? Its a bit paradoxical but this seems to be the energy of latter seasons

[@workinprogress1987]

Agreed

[@natethomas3793]

I agree that Beth was a mid character, but i’ve always felt that Jerry was actually a pretty funny character through most of the series. I would attribute a large part of that to the talents of Chris Parnell but the writing for him is so good in the way that he is just hilariously pathetic sometimes. idk maybe it’s just me

I warned you

[@emerj101]

The writing was so good because the stakes were pretty low for Dan and Justin, and they were having a blast with it. It’s more than just sardonic wit, the 1st season episodes had such subtle nuance to dark comedy. Somehow, they created a comedy vehicle for both existential dread and fart jokes, interwoven with epic banter. Anytime comedy is able to make me feel ashamed for laughing so hard, BRAVO! IMO, all great art challenges and offends one’s sensibilities. I agree, 1st season just hits different!!! ❤

the balls this show had to kill off its entire cast halfway through the first season... nothing has gotten me more hooked on how a series will turn out. also, It's my headcanon that rick mind-blew morty's memories about mr. jellybean, hence why the next episode is morty asking if he can have a love potion.

"Something Wicked This Way Comes" was an 80s dark fantasy movie about a wish-granting carnival run by the devil. The title of "Something Ricked" is an homage to that. I hate that I've become the guy explaining Rick & Morty; but it was a great title for that ep. Good video btw. I wouldn't have turned into this Pedant if I hadn't enjoyed it.

Wouldn't Rick's famous droopy lips expression count as a pop-culture reference? Since the creatures have stated it's a call back to Ren & Stimpy?

I did not know that which my main problem with modern rick and Morty is they shove the pop culture into your face

[@duncanconnor8069]

So i dont have the script of the episode infront of me, but i so know that the blue portal the bugs had looked very similiar to the failed blue single dimensional teleporter from the evil rick flash back, just darker, maybe more stable seeing as it works, and rick sits there and works with the terminal, it turns green, then is used to cross dimentions. Not a scientist, just a theorist.

[@workinprogress1987]

So are you saying evil rick helped them? Sorry I'm kinda stupid

[@readwrecks]

@@workinprogress1987I think the point is that blue portals travel to different locations in the same universe, while green portals can travel either between dimensions or to different locations in the same universe.

The bugs can teleport but not cross dimensions, I think. Been a while since I watched

[@samcrooker4679]

Rick and Morty will always be great!! Sure there are some moments where the episode gets very pop culture heavy, or be based around some distasteful and stupid concepts… However I still believe it is a great show. And also proved it is fine without Roiland. A little different and hasn’t fully found its somewhat new footing entirely yet, but fine without him. I’m glad most of the “ahem” fans that were toxic no longer are talking about the show. And left claiming it got terrible, I’m SO happy the fanbase feels more Honest, in that those who still truly enjoy the show, still watch it and find something to enjoy (typically)

If Rick hadn't let Morty have his adventure and given him a win in the end Morty could have easily been another Evil Morty A classic episode that is only better now that we have season 7!

OK, I love this review. You talked about everything good about the first season and weren’t afraid to criticize everything you didn’t like about the first season, which I commend you for. However, there’s one mistake: I need to point out what you made. You said he never took responsibility for his actions in the Love Potion episode. I completely disagree with you. He did take responsibility for his actions. I’m not saying that just because I’m biased with my being a Morty fan; while I’m a big fan of his character, I believe you’re right about criticizing him in this episode. Though I think this episode is a deconstruction of a love potion, most people don’t believe it’s messed up until the implications of a love potion are brought up, like Morty in this episode. Anyway, I think you were wrong because when Morty called out Rick for causing this apocalypse, Rick ripped into Morty for having him make the love potion and called it a roofie. Morty was shocked and horrified by Rick’s words, and as I pointed out, he took responsibility for his actions; he stated that he caused this mess and he was going to take responsibility, and all he wanted was for Rick to take responsibility because as Morty pointed out, he chose to make the potion anyway, even though he knew it was a roofie, mixed up a bunch of nonsense and made a serum that transformed the humans race into monsters. Morty took responsibility for his actions in this episode, and all he wanted was for Rick to take responsibility for his actions as well and for him to fix the problem the two of them caused, which Rick refused to do both and just ran away to another dimension where a counterpart of his dig fix the problem. I just wanted to point that out, and I say again, great review. I am happy to have watched it, and I can’t wait to see your reviews on the show's future seasons.

[@workinprogress1987]

First off thank you for the kind comment!! I really appreciate it! Secondly I agree with you mostly. He did take reposiblity and I was wrong saying he did it. I should have really focused on how much of a creep move it is. He did know that it would make Jessica fall in love with him and he didn't care which is still really messed up. But ya you're right

I agree that love potions are messed up, and I’m glad that Rick, of all people, brought up the implications. You were right about criticizing Morty, and to his credit, I believe that when Rick called it Roofie, Morty realized the implications of what he did and was horrified. But yeah, it was a creepy thing to do, even if most people ignore or don’t realize the implications. Again, I love watching the video. I’m looking forward to the season two video when it comes out.

@@Amanda-kd1zr Yes, I imagine it's clear that I'm not associated with the Democrat party. But in today's cultural climate, I find that it seems to help keep the crazies on both fringes at bay if I dissociate publicly from both, whenever I happen to be criticizing one or the other.

The something rick this way comes episode is an example of the A plot being good but the B plot being terrible.

So many classics, every ep from s1-2 is streets ahead of s3 onwards. The M.NightSham aliens episode is def top 3 for me

"Our" Morty is NOT Morty C-137! He refers to himself as that once or twice but he is not as C-137 is the dimension where "our" Rick loses his wife, therefore never having children, therefore Morty never exists in that dimension.

The c-137 Rick's flashback of losing his daughter in s3e1 was fabricated to convince the bug agent, that the portal gun code is real.

[@workinprogress1987]

Thank you for explaining the joke, I had no idea

[@JalebMurph]

what i've never understood about the first episode was rick telling morty he went into a "futuristic" society to get serum the cures broken legs, when later on in the series its referenced multiple times that rick doesnt do time travel? was this society just so smart it created it? or was this a flaw in the writing?

[@workinprogress1987]

I think it just meant this deminsion was way ahead of theirs so they could create the serum
