Has anyone else been checking out Rick and Morty on Adultswim? I just found it yesterday and I'm already dying for a new season. This shit had me dying...

Its brilliant. Between the horror and scifi references and Rick's alcoholism its entertaining as hell. Its kind of like Futurama where anything goes because because of technology except Rick and Morty is ramped up ten fold.

I loved the episode where they Cronenberged the world. The ending had me equal parts laughing my ass off and in shock.

Also Ants in my eyes Johnson.

Brilliant.

It is fucking amazing.."close encounters of rick kind" was such an awesome mind fuck...There's so much subtlety in the show..like Jerry eating poo brownies..every episode is gold

Yeah, the love potion episode was my favorite too. It set the tone for the series and told the audience that without a doubt there are consequences in this universe. Being emotionally vested in the characters will be essential to appreciating the show to it's fullest.

Haha yes I love the hyper-realistic consequences to the ridiculous happenings of the show.
So stoked it got picked up for Season 2.

My friend Tim kept raving on and on about how great this show was and how much i would love it, but I kept avoiding watching it for whatever reason. Then on a rainy day not too long ago I had nothing to do, so i finally got around to watching it, and it's one of the best shows to come out in a while. I think there's only been one or two episodes that came out that i didn't really like, the rest were all great. The inception parody and the Mr Meeseeks episode were my favorite ones so far.

They call to each other by name too often. Not because they're grandson and grandfather, but people just don't call each other by name every fuckin sentence. It's infuriating.

They do that because it's funny. It's not supposed to be how normal people talk.

You probably didn't watch it when it first came out because the commercials for it were absolute shit. You had to have seen the short they put on the internet before it was picked up or be clairvoyant to know what the show was going to be like.

The fact it carried over to the meeseeks episode was kinda shocking. Before that I thought every episode was isolated from each other. I hope it gets renewed for a second season.

I loved how they dealed with the devil and the dogs. Completely original takes on an traditional scifi plot device.

also the game on http://video.adultswim.com/rick-and-morty/special/ is pretty damn fun

Thanks for turning me onto this.

smokecrack · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2014, 12:28:03 AM »

i tried watching an episode, but only watched a bit. been seeing some awesome reviews for the show lately, so i'll catch up soon and check it out again.

(i know this is pretty obvious, but in case some of you didn't know the title characters are based on the Doc and Marty McFly)

One of the best parts about this show is their speech pattern.

It adds a bit of weird realism to the show. Characters will talk and stretch words out as their mouth is trying to catch up to their mind. It's an incredibly nuanced detail that I don't think gets enough attention.

The best cartoon out right now, each episode is just as good as the one before, all with original and entertaining story lines/plots, can't wait for season 2.

watching morty trip out about the nature of dimension traveling and trying to come to terms with his new situation while that mazzy star song was playing really put this show up a notch.

i happened to catch the show when it first aired on adult swim, been trying to spread it to friends since. brilliant show.

some people don't like the burping/wonder why he's burping and i have to explain that he's been drinking and he's an old nasty guy

have you ever read a script or watch a tv show where people dont constantly call each other by name? probably not. its apart of screen writing.

Sometimes it's subtle, but it's definitely a gag.

Unless English isn't you native language, you've got to some kind of slow in the head to not understand that their speech pattern is supposed to be funny.
