Why This Was the WORST Episode of Rick and Morty

Rick and Morty’s “Rickdependence Spray” is the worst episode of the show. Lazy dialogue and uninspired writing in this one broh.
In this video essay, I explore why "Rickdependence Spray" is the worst episode of Rick and Morty. I analyze the flaws of the episode and how it fails to meet the expectations of fans and critics. Join me as I delve into the reasons why "Rickdependence Spray" is considered the worst episode of Rick and Morty.
But Rick and Morty season 5 so far has been great... so I'm not that mad. Rick and Morty season 5 episode 4 (Rick and Morty 5x04) is simply a miss.

i honestly thought it was a simulation for rick to expose morty for using the horse machine

[@mohammadgerami123]

Yes. it was the worst and the most shallow Rick and Morty episode ever, by far.

[@Deadsoc]

Still can’t get over how awful this episode was

[@ComeWatchTV]

definitely a low point for the series

[@Minronis]

I honestly never thought the writers of Rick & Morty would stoop to juvenile humor and high school level social commentary. Even the mighty can fall.

[@ComeWatchTV]

Yes, I can assume there's some nervousness in the writer's room with many of the old writers leaving.

[@annikenhammer5454]

i constantly rewatch rick and morty episodes because of their fun and quick humour, but i honestly don’t think i’ll ever rewatch this episode. it was boring and unmemorable

[@ComeWatchTV]

My thoughts as well

[@funnyblog100]

This is up there with Claw and Hoarder as one of the worst episodes. Generally any episode of Rick and Morty involving sperm or smut is bad.

[@humanplace4254]

I would say Claw and Hoarder is absolutely in a league of its own. The dating app episode is also worse than this in my opinion. All three were baffling, outlandish, crude, and full of jokes that didn't land...but this one held your attention with an actual premise, which can't be said about the other two.

[@pkn6569]

I'm really disturbed Rick or anyone else didn't freak out about the incest baby definitely out of character

[@ComeWatchTV]

Yea. The show has not done enough this season developing the characters. I think it will turn around these last 3 episodes.

[@moscreefus]

Was a bad episode. I expect a lot of bad episodes when the network orders 70 at once

[@humanplace4254]

When I saw the A.V. Club and KZbin blowing up about how this was the worst I was scared, because I knew how low the bar had been set by the dragon episode in season 4. Happily surprised tbh.

[@kaedynbrandt5181]

Just when you thought Rick and Morty couldn't possibly sink this low

[@dipstick7489]

This video is extremely respectable to the show’s legacy and the current season, something that can’t be said about the other season 5 videos that are being made (yes, this happens every season). I applaud you, and agree with you sir

[@ComeWatchTV]

Damn you got me feeling good. Thanks.

[@objectiveopinions9989]

this is a fantastic video essay channel. keep up the good work man :)

[@ComeWatchTV]

Thank you!

[@kozukitonio740]

Worst one to me was when morty tried to kill rick in the standoff. Totally ruined his character

[@ComeWatchTV]

agreed

[@Wyrmsforbrains]

This was the definitely the worst episode especially due to the tryhard grossout humour that seems like it'd be fit on Santa Inc or some similar unfunny show, with the matching placcid social commentary to match. Honestly the social commentary was so cringeworthy it felt like something the show would be doing ironically I kept expecting a character to make fun of the dialogue.

[@Wyrmsforbrains]

Rick and Morty has a tendency to retcon Rick's character to make him randomly incompetent...

[@ComeWatchTV]

Yup, you hit the nail on the head

[@Dim4323]

Insect baby Excuse me one momment (Walks out house) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@ComeWatchTV]

I concur

[@jubjub444]

I think the turkey one topped it

[@ComeWatchTV]

You may be right. Although I feel like it would make sense if it was actually Thanksgiving and it was just a little special.

[@analockman]

The truth is that rick and morty is adapting the plot of the Japanese manga Doraemon to back to the future with a darker and more tailored version to suit American tastes. In the beginning it was good because it was new. It's the perfect blend of western sci-fi realism and Japanese manga. by playing with pop culture But all these fuels have been used up in the past 4seasons. It will end like Doraemon. That is, there is a series of specials that go on and on, but there is no real ending. Believe it or not, it's up to you.

[@dennisjansson6239]

This episode, ESPECIALLY the incest baby, is the biggest reason why i think this show went downhill & was gonna go downhill.

[@TheAnthonywildman]

The guy that wrote the episode is a social justice warrior that is also a writer for Saturday night live, and he obviously doesn't know enough science to write compelling science-fiction. This is why the episode leans so much on social issues, because that's all they know. . Hopefully they remove him from the writing team. Slowly critical theory and social justice zealots are destroying what I and others enjoy.

[@kernelparadigm]

well they did portray the government as intresting in season 3 if u forgot. the president almost beat ricks ass.the fight was incredible.

[@ZoelV15]

Yeah i mean rick was useless in this episode he wasnt that guy what he was on other episodes

[@ComeWatchTV]

Exactly!

[@OhThatzDQTV]

*PlotTwist* Lol This Was Just A Filler Episode

[@THEGREATMAX]

You're not allowed to have filler when seasons are only 10 episodes long

[@nickcopley606]

This season just can’t make a perfect episode in my opinion

[@ComeWatchTV]

Yea. I don't think it needs to tho... but the show definitely needs to be better than the last four episodes.

[@nickcopley606]

@@ComeWatchTV the next episodes at least have to make both plots at the same point of interest.

[@techbolt9242]

Didn’t really like this episodes either. You should talk about why you like vat of acid so much.

[@ComeWatchTV]

I'm down.

[@triplebypassburger4955]

The vat of acid episode is super overrated

[@iamthewizardwhoknocks2845]

2:50 No.

[@cmattingly5033]

It's all juvenile humor, but they go go go Tron was the worst episode Lol

[@maxzak5310]

ep3 also was pretty mediocre ... rick plot was awful and morty love story was meh

[@Paiserretch]

My overall thoughts on this episode is that it's actually an ok episode. Rickdependence spray was kind of disgusting, but it's rick and morty. And it's an adult show, so I guess this stuff should have been seen coming. The president was a nice recurring character which is fun as always, and the animation with the action scene at the end was also fun to watch. Overall it was... ok. I mean it's not terrible, but they should really stop with the s*x related topics. I've noticed the worst rated episodes are usually one with those kinds of jokes.

[@kernelparadigm]

interesting how people think the teenage love story thing without good story and without real relatable emotion or in-predictability is emotional. u want emotions compare with old man in the seat , season 2 finale or vat of acid.

[@ComeWatchTV]

Yea idk I guess I just liked how the last episode really focused on it. Vat of acid is also my second favorite episode of the series-- I get what you mean.

[@kernelparadigm]

@@ComeWatchTV i see

[@acc314]

You sound like Justin roiland

[@ComeWatchTV]

like my voice or the way I talk?

[@shonetheone]

irrelevant humor gotta be one of my favorite genders was pretty funny bro. likely went over a lot of heads

[@ComeWatchTV]

Thank you, thank you very much

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

I have a feeling that the cringe woke “jokes/humor” will kick into overdrive in future seasons, now that they gave Justin the boot…🤨

[@Matt-yp6ez]

This was a funny episode.

[@ComeWatchTV]

Debatable

[@Matt-yp6ez]

@@ComeWatchTV This episode's intro made laugh, how Morty was telling Rick to just trust labels, and how Morty said good, it's you fault, everything leading up to that was funny. Also, a giant incest baby. It's not their best episode, but it was still good in my opinion. It made me laugh a few times, so I would call it a funny episode. I don't think it deserves the hate it gets.
