Rick DESTROYS The Citadel Of RICKS!! (Szechuan Sauce!?!) Rick And Morty Season 3 Episode 1 Reaction

[@chilling_at_pontiff]

13:33 is my favorite joke in the entire series. Every guard in any movie ever will see the protagonist/antagonist kill hundreds of other guards then act like they can tell them to "freeze" and they will listen. Employee of the month

[@jessetorres8738]

It's both hilarious yet tragically ironic that Jerry finally finds a steady job that makes him happy (after a whole Season of Rick making fun of him for being unemployed), but then he loses his job through Rick's actions since anytime Rick becomes happy it backfires on or hurts Jerry.

[@apun9307]

There’s a theory that the reason why Jerry got a job was because Rick handed himself over to the Galactic federation and told them he was Jerry Smith. The federation gave Jerry a job as a reward

[@dbonechis]

@@apun9307 lol

[@dbonechis]

Jerry didn't get a job, he was given a job. Did you even watch the last episode? Do you have preclinical alzheimers?

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

And Jerry is actually smart by real-world standards. This show wants you scared for your credentials as human, and it succeeds.

[@hydratanksamari]

Love that going from defending Rick midway through, to being reminded what a dangerous sociopathic genius he really is by the end 😅 Great reaction as usual!

HE STILL DIDNT BOUGHT THAT MCNUGGET SAUCE. HE SAID HE WOULD I WANT SEE THE MCNUGGET SAUCE RICK.

[@CalamityDiamond]

That gag about the szechuan sauce when this episode aired actually had Mcdonalds re-release the product for a limited time. Everyone went nuts over it, there were people selling the stuff on the internet for hundreds or raising hell at the restaurants because they couldn't get any.

[@louishermann7676]

It really cast a dark stain on the fan base. God that was so cringe.

[@crcoghill]

​@@louishermann7676and over something you could just Google to find the recipe! Bet it was just normal sauce they put in their packaging with their name on it.

don pulling out the sweet and sour sauce out of nowhere was pure gold HAHA

[@StrawHatAura]

completely unrelated, but mad respect for correctly spelling "szechuan" also this is where the show ramps up in quality imo lol

[@Mr777.]

Rick is the type of guy to get arrested by the Galactic Federation, then do an epic prison break, destroy The Citadel of Rick's and the Galactic Federation and space economy by setting their currency to 0, to get his daughter to divorce her husband so he can fully dominate the house.

Something I love about Rick's rant at the end of the episode is, I remember how Game of Thrones was late in the series and on most peoples minds at the time. Rick's goal of taking over the family felt very inspired by the crazy antics of battling families in GOT. It's like he was watching it at the time too. I think that's why Morty is so distressed. He's just realized Rick was starting his Tywin Lannister arc. 😅

[@edipciftci3864]

Its so funny that you are surprised about the black Rick but not the green one right next to him lol

[@carlrobison9170]

For your pill issue, you can use applesause or pudding for anything that can be taken with food. That trick has helped me a lot.

[@SilverFang95]

Or just put it in a hot dog or any type of food. Like you do with dogs😂

[@Robert-M]

I read that as applause for a sec and thought "yea I guess that'd help too"

[@johns6014]

Season 3 is the point where they have enough foundation built up to start expanding the lore. Keep in mind that from here, not every episode will be a winner, and not every episode will make reference to existing lore, but when they do, they are played very well, and they snowball in impact. All told, Season 3 has three of the best episodes in the entire series.

[@ignaciotaborda6538]

Sometimes it's easy to forget how much a genius can often be a monster and Rick is a perfect example of that duality

[@samuelvincent557]

A nice little nod to Rick's improv was when he said that Comedy comes in threes, that was the third time that episode they used the farting butt joke. Once in the coffee cup, once when Morty and Summer portal there briefly, and the one in his watch.

[@mr.patriotjol]

Also for everyone's reference this was an April Fool's joke, so it was only a repeat and thats why Rick was explaining the story of the family in the diner.

[@jyungwoo9282]

That reaction was PERFECT! Exactly how i felt when morty shouted "IF YOU THINK MY RICK IS DEAD HE'S ALIVE, AND IF YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE THEN HE'S COMING FOR YOU!" I was like fuuuuuk thats C137 it must be true

[@thiagowwz]

13:21 » _"G-Good thing I saw that note!! Heh!"_ 🥴🥴 😂😂😂😂

[@TinariKao]

Fun fact. I used to be like you with pills. It was extremely difficult to swallow a single pill to the point I had to stuff my face with water and just do a huge gulp and hope the pill went down. I finally figured out "get the pill to the back of your throat then swallow" thing. It just... clicked one day. Now I can swallow a large handful of pills without any issue. I can't even explain exactly what or how things changed, but it's nice.

[@bobmanperson599]

"Hammer Morty is dead!" He got shot 4 times and only flinched like he got winded from a punch to the gut, that metal body is nuts

[@ggalzero2912]

13:00 this is why morty will never be evil morty because rick always humiliated him and trapped him in shame to keep him in control, rickiest rick is truly a menace

[@JustHereForPopcorn]

I used to be bad at swallowing pills. It helps a lot if you put the pill on your tongue and then roll your tongue to the back of your throat and then swallow with a bit of water.

[@samuelvincent557]

An important note about Jerry's growth. He said it's Rick or him, and he stuck to it. He didn't back down. That's almost unheard of character from him.

[@thiagowwz]

10:10 » infinite universes, there is even a intelligent evil Morty, remember? Jerrys, though... lol 😂😂

[@henrietab2659]

Great trick if you're having trouble swallowing pills or tablets, just take a bite of some sort of food (recommended to be something that doesn't fall apart immediately) and chew it to the point where you'd be comfortable swallowing, and then before you swallow push the pill inside the chunk of chewed up food (while it's still in your mouth) and just swallow all that. It'll just feel like you're swallowing a bite of food and it'll be easy as heck

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

The sauce was a rare thing, this episode actually caused some issues for them in real life lol

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

Also my fav sause, S&S

[@GKinslayer]

If you want to check out a good film check out the source - the Japanese film Battle Royale. When Hunger Games came out the joke for those intro movies had was "Hunger Games is the name for Battle Royale in English, with Cheese". Hunger Games is the nerfed - teen-friendly version of Battle Royale.

[@feartheolivebread]

Sweat and Sour sauce is awesome

[@Zack_Zander]

12:09 I’ve watch these series many time and this is the first time that I noticed the note has always been on the gun since Rick gave it to Morty.

[@spider-jeff_101]

The Rick leaving MORTY behind to be eaten by green monster and the flying cthulu flying after the three with its baby is in every op

[@robbo5182]

When bro said PHOENIX PERSON it had me laughing for ages. I already knew it but it made me realise how stupid the humor is in this show and it works so well

[@shuldekid]

Best episode by far

[@chasemurphy489]

When you realize the general plot is a genius grandpa using his grandson to help with his super dangerous adventures/experiments by ANY means necessary. like s1 e1 he gives morty the same speech essentially saying he’s stuck doing whatever rick tells him to do forever 😂😢

[@zekie106]

rick is one of the most OP characters in fiction he solos everyone's favorite animes

[@H41451]

He does?

[@CarlMansell]

Yeah, Summer thinks she idolizes Rick, she has faith in him. Morty knows that Rick is inevitable, like a tornado or Tsunami. It's like GOT...Rick is coming. Always.

[@ZacharyLT]

Don maybe just a little tip. I think it’s be better if you take notes on everything you wanna ask questions about and then talk all about it at the end of the episode. Thanks👍🏾

[@ricdastardly3764]

usually id agree, but he keeps it pretty short so personally i don't mind :) edit: lol ok.. he was a bit extra this episode 🤣

Yup. He pauses, then it gets answered in the episode. Like, I get that it's a reaction, but still. It's a lot.

Pay attention to that Rick in the cool jacket that talks to young Rick in this episode because he will become very important in later seasons

[@originalkingdomhearts]

He turned himself in because he wanted to protect his family. This wasn't his plan, he did this at random because he got lucky and decided to take advantage of their stupidity. None of this was planned, this was a "oh well I'm here might as well take them down with me"

[@evanmarrs353]

“I’m Captain Jack Sparrow.”

[@chroniccomplainer3792]

There are only 2 methods in my mind to easily swallow a pill. One is to put it in a glob of peanut butter (not popular in the UK i think) or you can put some drink in your mouth and as your swallowing the liquid the throw the pill in at the same time.

[@hannahpinson4361]

I can't wait to see you react to the rest of the episodes. I won't spoil anything. All I will say is later down the line, you'll learn things about Rick and Morty that probably didn't even occur to most people.

[@ItzDenzKing]

You’re not the only one bro I can’t swallow pills either if I try I just choke

[@some_dude10]

I know you just started watching Gravity Falls. I think it would be cool for you to know that the Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty creators are best friends Irl. Rick and Morty has a ton of Gravity Falls references including one at 10:02 where you can see Morty holding journal 3. And there’s actually evidence the shows are connected.

[@ScapeVEVO]

Nah Rick did leave Summer behind, as well as Beth, in the cronenburg dimension. Yeah Morty did contribute to screwing the world up, but it was Rick who brought him along and abandoned it.

[@TheSnoopKat]

Hey man, I have the same issue with swallowing pills! The water trick never worked for me, feels unnatural to swallow a solid while drinking. I actually just use food. Get a handful of chips, take a bite of food, or eat some other snack. Then chew that up and swallow the pill with it. Wash it down with water. If you think about it, you swallow chunks of food much larger than a pill on a daily basis, so just swallow your pill with it! Feels much more natural than with water. I hope this helps!

[@galaxyck20]

3:00 omg i cant swallow pills either!! i've also done everything and yet nothing works

[@suttonmar86]

Bro, yes! Sweet and sour McDonalds sauce is where it's at (at least in the UK lol)

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

They need to make a chewable pill for every pill for nonpillswallowers. You not the only one I know with this

[@AJT1289]

I gave up on trying to swallow pills and after a nice nurse lady explained I figured it out after 4 attempts

[@phaser61]

You were saying, that Morty is really fast in blaming Rick for stuff. But in defence of Morty allow me to say, that he really asked Rick about probable side affects, troubles etc. Rick is really irresponcible

[@vetarlittorf1807]

Morty was the one who kept pestering Rick to make him a serum to literally force a poor innocent girl into becoming his sex slave for life. Morty is just as reckless and uncaring as Rick. There's a reason why Evil Morty exists, you know. He's not an evil version of Morty, he's just a more radical version of him.

[@D_skullface]

for your pill issue, your fear of choking on the pill is the reason you can't eat it. I solve my pill issue when i was a kid i saw my older brother also having a hard time eating the medicine pill. so when its my turn i said to myself either i eat this pill or die trying and i gag on the pill for a few minutes forcing it down with water (maybe cried a litte) then manage to finally eat the pill after that i no longer have problem eating pill medicine. long story short man up.

[@ShadesEn]

It’s pretty important to remember that Rick is absolutely not a good person while watching this show. Don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. Hell, none of them are good people, even Morty goes completely mental if there is something that he wants badly enough.

[@vetarlittorf1807]

"In a world that he ruined" Morty, you were the one who made him create a serum to turn your crush into a mindless sex animal. It's your fault the Cronenberg thing happened.

[@sofiantz2142]

And it was ricks fault for following through a 14 yr olds choices 😆

[@Jayvon11]

rick is by no means a hero or a “good guy” he’s done some really fucked up stuff for his own benefit. like don’t get me wrong he’s a great character and really cool but tbh he can be a pretty shitty father/grandfather/friend sometimes. I don’t necessarily blame him for why he is the way he is or why he does the things he does tho man has a really traumatic past shit can be hard to deal with hence the alcoholism. I mean he’s the smartest man in the universe while being a scientist and going on adventures with his 14 year old grandson while hiding from the government and whoever wants him dead while also trying to protect his family at the same time. you don’t burden all that and be a loving caring person all the time. But overall he truly does care about this version of his family 🤷🏽

I wouldn't read too much into the rant at the end, I think it's mostly a throwback to s1e1's rant. Rick is smart, and a psychopath, but not that much of either to plan all that out.

[@Gonerouge]

Well Don from what I've seen I don't believe Rick meant it when he said that he only rescued Morty and Summer just so that Beth would accept him from what I've seen he honestly cares about his daughter Beth and grandkids Morty and Summer and he didn't really care about Jerry but wanted to show us that if anyone crosses him or his loved ones (minus Jerry) then that person won't live to see another day and I honestly believe Rick lost his wife but not like how it was shown like his wife died and Rick made it seem to Beth that left her even though she died
