Alex F. Yes, yes it does

@Adam Senzai wouldn't be a bad thing.

I also noticed it! And on the line of the video, I think it has to do with the constant grandiose 'smartest man in the universe' moments, in detriment of the more down to earth weird grandpa moments of the first seasons

the characters stutter less in general.

While that doesn't ruin the show for me by any stretch, I did notice that his drunkenness got really toned down after the first season or so. I do think it added to his character and the comedy a bit.

Funniest sh¡t I’ve ever seen (Joke)

It's all fun and games to worship a fictional nutter like Rick, so long as you get it into your head that if he existed in real life, you reallly, REALLY, shouldn't want to like him.

@@Wannabechefguy correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that that line from bird person comes in the same episode where the phrase is first said if not definitely in the same season where it is first said so I don't think it's a rhetcon like you claim.

If futurama returns in a good way, with the same essence that it had, then oh boy Rick is doomed, it is like comparing Doom's return in 2016 and Duke Nukem forever in 2011, and i love Duke Nukem 3D and Manhattan project, point is, one is literally Eternal, and the other one is barely alive via the power of memes.

Stop using those labels, they're dumb.

#deep. bruh

I don't understand why people think they want to be Rick. Both Rick and Jerry have traits that are good and bad but neither character is seen as something to strive for.

Piano Fry probably because Jerry is portrayed, on the surface, as lame and ignorant. He’s unemployed and stupid. As pointed out in the video, he is the embodiment of mediocrity. Rick, however, has created a portal gun that can go ANYWHERE. He can do anything and try to avoid the consequences of his actions

Bet you don't even clap at all the pop culture reference.

I like Pickle Rick, if only for the absurdity of it. The memes did taint it.

Rick turns himself in to the Galactic Federation > Rick turns himself into a pickle

I *burp* TURNED MYSELF INTO AN EMMY MORTY, IM EMMY RIIIIIICK🥒🏆

The season 2 finale was really good, but there were also better episodes in season 3... Tales from the Citadel definitely deserves some kind of award, and the first episode of season 3 was also really good

I totally agree with this

yeah. the show directly addressing rick and Beth’s character flaws was important. The family’s reactions in the car ride home to receiving such a confrontation is what made the episode great to me. Wouldn’t have got a heavy scene like that if the show never said it out loud

Pickle Rick is a phenomenal little bottle episode that fell victim to its own popularity, as popular things do.

Had the same feeling. The idea of rick getting a reality check does appeal to me but I don't think it was executed well.

Or maybe you handle something like that in a manner consistent with the plot that makes sense. That entire episode felt forced down the audience's throat and highly unrealistic for the character we've been presented in season one and two. The season one and two Rick would likely have barked back harder at the annoying therapist and cause antics. This Rick is just some doormat.

And the funny thing is, those fans are more like Jerry irl. They saw Rick and fantasize about being that brash against society and get away with it.

I never gonna understand that...

@Nonya Biizwacs glad somebody still remembers moral oral

Yet I unironically think that THAT'S where the show gets its charm: the storytelling and thought processes of the characters themselves.

@@kos2919 Facts

To quote SFO: "When you got two people who based their actions on Nietzsche, and end up causing catastrophic atrocities on humanity, while constantly misinterpreting his message, you know you got someone's who's pretty tough to read", which leads to the more common quote: "People don't read Nietzsche, they read quotations of him and find them to be cool".

What people need to understand is that Nihilism is WRONG and only leads to stagnation.

@@nickthepick8043 not inherently u can take a Bojack lens on Nihilism where nothing matters objectively but that doesn’t mean one should sit around and complain ab it all day do what u can with what u have regardless of weather there’s inherent meaning in the universe

@@anthonytitone That is also true. Sorry, what I meant was that shows like Bojack show why Nihlisim is wrong, and that you should do something about it rather than just do nothing.

This is why I embrace absurdism much more than nihilism. Absurdism is like nihilism without becoming an edgelord.

@@fluff018 I mean they probably already did a ton of work on season 7 and wanna just complete it but who knows if it’ll continue after. Maybe they’ll be able to just recast for him and find new writers but Rick and Morty is definitely lucky that it’s a major cash cow (or at least was, the viewership continues to tank). This is a really bad time for animation a lot of stuff is getting dropped and cancelled more and more.

It's well known that he has had almost no influence on the overall show besides writing a couple episodes (two of which were interdimensional cable.) Time will only tell if the show will actually crash, but I doubt it will

I’m actually really excited for season 7

They apperantly haven't had much to do with the writing process recently anyway plus his voice is easy to find someone else to do. I think the show will be fine.

@@awkwardcultism if you mean the "god is dead" guy, then yes

@@awkwardcultism no its Camus

@@awkwardcultism That is Camus. And Camus said that because Sisyphus didn't have to deal with the existential angst of... existence because he always had something to do. Intrinsically, for Camus life is suffering (it is an existential axiom after all), but you can make the best of it if you take that suffering to be the way for happiness or meaning itself. And Nietzsche's "god is dead" quote is precisely about what Xylas is talking of. He believed that, having gone past through religion, the modern man would have to deal with horrors. Nietzsche said "What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives; who will wipe this blood off us?" Doesn't sound triumphant to me.

@Aumima Mimadino which is a goddamn shame. I still hold the opinion that Undertale is a masterpiece, but saying that outloud will probably get me to hell on earth

SU definitely has one of the worst fanbases ever, but it's infamous reputation isn't just on them. Sometime around season 4 all of the show's flaws started growing larger and larger until all aspects of the show devolved to the point that "Change your mind" happened. I'd say it's reputation is thanks both to its toxic fanbase and the writing of the show itself imploding.

@Aumima Mimadino UTs fanbase was an absolute Dumpster fire for a good while, but I'd say both it's fanbase and reputation have mostly recovered. A large number of the toxic fans were trend followers who have moved on to other things, and a lot of the cringy younger fans grew up and came to their senses. Nowdays the fandom is mostly chill, and I've seen lots of people return to it and giving it praise again. So I'd say it wasn't beyond repair.

Basically every single fandom with certain enough members and a certain age-group, 13-40~

Lol I was thinking the exact same thing even if I don't necessarily think they actually took notes from this video

Oh damn i'm not the only one thinking they had it planned. just gonna copypaste the comment i just wrote here "20:25 OH MY GOD i just realized something. looking back at this, after the season 5 finale... it could be possible that around that time, rick created the central finite curve, and they had it all planned. "somewhere along the way, rick transformed from the flawed scientist into the smartest man in the universe" "the show only starts calling rick this in season 3" i wonder if the creators had the curve in mind back then. if so, that redeems the weird writing back then for me. also, they confirmed that the "made up backstory" rick "only used to escape prison" was actually real. either its a big coincidence, they watched this video - or its just genius."

Idk I don’t think they had it planned the whole time if you look at the behind the scenes of the finale posted on adult swim KZfaq channel they said they had to rewatch all the old episodes to plan the finale

I doubt it was all planned. It could just be that they saw what they were doing to Rick and didn't like where things were going so they decided to make Rick Vulnerable by making the Central Finite Curve

Season 5 was horrible. Definitely was the lowest for the series and not the peak. Peak was season 2.

THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTA

Maybe there's another comparable cartoon, but i wouldn't lump the big bang into the categories of "sci-fi" or "funny". it's like a worse version of friends or two and a half men, catering to a seemingly absent audience, revolving around a group of creepy narcissists and sociopaths, peppering in very bland pop-culture references to the sciences and sci-fi.

@@hydriumstudio Same person btw. That is Big Bang in a nutshell haha. To add insult to injury, in terms of how Pop-Media presents these aspects, Resident Evil 1 HD remaster shows us an electrostatic generator from the 1870s (in the room before the bar with the spiders) and states "hmm a piece of old technology I don't understand" and I'm like Bro I know what that is. That was a level of assumption integral to the script of the game too, kinda shocking tbf. The sneaking in of "forgotten" knowledge in media, ARX Fatalis for example, a game depicting an era where 1. the suns life giving force is diminished so 2. humanoid races retreat into cities underground to survive, both being events that the human race has had to deal with many times. is very prevalent. If you look into ARKANE studios, the sources they draw from are very interesting and not in the least what would be considered "surface-level" today. I recommend a book, The Two Babylons, Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and his Wife from 1858, the Popes Mitre is a representation of the head of the god Dagon, the fish-humanoid deity who, per the Mesopotamian Lore, ascended from the Euphratean sea (after falling from the heavens in an egg) to teach humanity of agriculture and culture as a whole. What's that go to do with Christianity? Nimrods son, through the propaganda of the state, was believed by many to have been conceived immaculately unto his wife Semiramis by "lifebearing sun rays" (solar-phallic symbology), being born on the 25th of December as Tammuz, the supposed Human embodiment of Ba'al. This may sound like some ghostbusters shiznik but im telling ya, this is real shiznik.

it's a shame this comment was overlooked. this is a perfect encapsulation of what people should do vs what they actually do regarding his character. idolizing a self destructive character is missing the point entirely. just enjoy it for what it is and stop trying to convince yours of concepts that dont exist.

@@robosing225 yes the point of rick is to discourage the search of the ultimate knowledge i believe

@@Braindamaged226 Such a shame their toxic fanbase ruins such a good show. I mean it doesn't _ruin_ the show, but almost gives it a bad rep because of the toxicity of certain "fans." I feel it's a zeitgeist problem. This generation is full of very unruly behavior that fosters such irritating dialogue between the fans and _the_ "fans." You know, find problems that _you_ make up yourself because you're inadvertently projecting you're own insecurity and behaviours onto your favorite cast of characters. So when said characters deviate from what you expect, it causes a host of problems that you made up for yourself. Had you instead watched the show with the foresight to know "it's just a show." and not philosophize it into perdition, maybe you could actually enjoy it for what it is. Fun.

@@robosing225 yes, i think it’s fine to relate with a character like rick, you’re a person your family doesn’t understand or relates to at all, but to just idolize him makes you look like a piece of shit, considering how he treats others and views others just because of his high intelligence, which is what makes him feel lonely, he’s so smart he can’t help dehumanize them, the only difference between him and the fans is the fans are just a bunch of snarky teens who first discovered cynicism, like every teen does but most become “trolls” and other things to show off their extreme cynicism

Same bro. Its always good to see things for yourself 👍

I wouldn't consider Bojack to be an anti-show like R&M. Bojack does follow a pretty standard series of events like any other show, it just gives a fuck-ton more nuance and humanization compared to other shows that step into those kinds of topics.

@@99sins I think bojack horseman is definitely an anti-sitcom. The show originally presents itself like a goofy animated sitcom, but quickly becomes much more. The show presents a long storyline that runs through the entirety of 6 seasons, instead of resetting each episode like a traditional sitcom. However, the show most importantly uses it's sitcom-like appearance as a contrast to the reality of the show and to highlight a source of Bojack's depression. One of the main messages of the show is that there isn't always a happy ending and problems don't always get closure, in stark contrast to the messages of a traditional sitcom. Bojack had a miserable childhood, so his idea of a normal life comes from his time on horsin' around. However, this depiction of life is very different from his actual life. He constantly strives for an idealized, perfect life, and is constantly disappointed in himself when faced with reality.

@@99sins Eh, I would. Because when most shows in the past touched on things like MI and abuse, they tended to use those subjects as just window dressing and motivation for characters being "evil" and "violent". They simply glorified the subject matter. But BJH directly addressed that and many other thing, like Hollywood corruption, sexism, and a long list of other heavy subjects that are just used as plot points in other shows w/o be given proper respect or nuance. So, I would totally classify it as an anti-show: anti-hollywood culture.

You know I'm actually really glad that BoJack never quite got the obnoxious fanbase that Rick and Morty eventually got, but then again I do think that it was always the more mature show, especially when it comes to its standout dramatic moments.

""It's not just a show about an anti-hero, it's an anti-show." This line right here perfectly sums up why animated shows like Rick & Morty and BoJack Horseman are my favorite shows in the last decade. They both take so much cultural history that's been previously established in America media and constantly reframe and question it. " What is that even supposed to mean? Like is it because they name off tropes and sterotypes, and found out about anti-humor, maybe because they have a meta narrative and faux meaning shoved in? Yes they're "definitely" the first shows to be deconstructionist but lets also praise them for calling out shitty lazy writing by intentionally being shitty trope filled lamp-shading writing then not actually going on to show a better way of doing it, its fine to call out or parody a trope but you need to actually then show something better than that trope, you can't just say "haha aren't fart jokes so bad and cliche" without a follow up or you're being just as bad but with a lazy level of "irony" They both try to subvert expectations but its so shallow that the subversion themselves are at this point cliches in themselves.

It's a shame that he was exposed by Simian Jimmy.

Yeah? You and ten million others say the same thing.

Well said

It keeps happening.

Thank you

Care to explain?

The women were the ones who made it cringe. They incessantly went overboard with it because they thought Pickle Rick was cute, and going overboard about it would be cute. They were wrong.

@@VwapTrader coming from a woman who likes rick and morty: no woman thought pickle rick was "cute" and most jokes were specifically to make fun of guys like YOU

This entire thread is cringe.

@@VwapTrader I am sure you have proof of this claim and this is not just some sexist piece of shit comment?

It's not just the fandom, but the meme community as whole, especially for Reddit. I've seen a lot of Pickle Rick memes all over the Internet and I thought it's funny, even I haven't watched the episode yet. I don't know about you but saying that "women should be staying in the kitchen" for ruining the show is just... ridiculous.

To bad Granddad is; ended from life. KZfaq auto deletes comments saying the aaR Eye Pee

Agreed

aaron wouldn't be liked by the toxic culture of today. imagine a black guy criticizing black culture in 2020. he'd be crucified by his peers. such a brilliant show that never got fully fleshed out.

Boondocks was really inconsistent in terms of quality writing. Felt like the best bits could have easily been compressed into just one or two seasons worth of material.

@@lunasakara7306 I dont think rest in peace is exactly banned, and if it was, people would have noticed already.

@James F Rick is like the definition of "alpha", the issue is that people think being "alpha" or "beta" matters at all. Referring to people as alpha or beta males just makes you seem like a fucking loser because the terms are pointless.

@@DuckyVanya Isn't he a Sigma? Lone wolf, non-conformist, but still winning despite it all?

Alpha? Tf is this, a Wattpad original?

Enrico Pucci Pretty good summary all in all. Season 5 may be Rick having to undergo his own personal changes to figure out who he wants to be, and facing his problems more directly. He can’t just rely on the family thinking he’s amazing, he needs to find his purpose

So thats why the universe got reset.

i love those idiots who do the script writers jobs, season 3 sucked and there is no "meta" explanation within the show as to why, and season 4 was even worse

@@nahuelahpa1881 hes not doing anyones job, would you rather the show to blatantly tell you the reason behind every story decision themselves? Show dont tell, remember

@@nahuelahpa1881 Why so serious?

Damn, maybe they were giving us the medicine we needed after all

Thats because Rick's character is so good, people want to relate to Rick more than the moral of the show because of how cool and smooth he is

@@chancellorrr Rick is actually very smooth and buttery I met him in real life.

@@chancellorrr Rick is a funny character yes but not a good person by any means he’s a sociopathic person yes he has his good moments but over all he is a horrible ducking person

I think people always like Rick tho and so I don’t see how it was ever against nihilism

Ashok Singh thanks for reminding me I should probably get some mental help(btw the memes dead and it was a joke)

@@NO-fn6wy sorry man! I know.

You have to be really low IQ to be unable to relate to a character without them embodying your entire being. It's kinda why modern comic books are the way they are, low IQ.

yeah. it’s just bizarre how many people want to embody such a miserable person.

Now everyone just hates Rick🤷🏽‍♂️

My man out here writing Darth Vader. Nice.
