At the end when Beth is drinking by herself in the kitchen, she does the same kind of belching pronouncation that Rick does all the time.
In "Raising Gazorpazorp" I notice a couple times when Morty slips into Rick's cadence and speech mannerisms like calling people "buddy" and such :tinfoil:

I totally, 100-percent thought the "joke" of the Fake Doors commercial was going to be that the pitchman wouldn't be able to get out of the store at the end of the ad. (Because he can't tell which door is the real exit.)

And then he just fuckin' walked off to his car.

There wasn't even a door. There wasn't even a wall. It was a sound stage.

I nearly lost my goddamn mind.

I like that you hear them losing it at the end of some of the bits, similar to when the actors crack up on SNL: it's kind of infectious when you know the people making the show are having fun.

I also felt like it was a play on the meta-joke of Rick obviously making up or mispronouncing various inventions and concepts he uses. So much sci-fi has to be thought-out that I don't get tired of the show constantly pointing out that everything is made up as one of the running gags. :techno:

It just occurred to me that there may be another level of anger about Jerry constantly ribbing Beth that horse surgeons aren't real surgeons: Beth feels that way a little bit too, but it's because she married Jerry and didn't get an abortion that she had to "settle" for being a horse surgeon. So the fact that Jerry is giving her poo poo for not being a real surgeon when she blames him for it makes her extra bitter.

Ironically, it's more difficult and takes longer to be a veterinarian than it does to be a doctor who works on human patients.

It seems a few people didn't like these. My question is, what makes these not funny to you and others? The rambling nonsense was the funniest part of it for me. Try not to use a blanket statement like "too much like family guy".

It's the same with shows like ATHF and squidbillies. I'm watching cartoons to have fun and laugh at what I see, not be riveted by plot lines. The random improv is funny sometimes.

The improv-y bits with Rick and Morty batting something back and forth are what make the show great, but if they go on too long the episode kind of unravels. Like the self-aware jokes, too much and it starts to grate.

On the flip side, it establishes that Morty is definitely learning from his adventures with Rick. Not just moral lessons, but actually picking up knowledge.

I think it came out nicely, way better than the Morty doll I did earlier. I've got it up on etsy if anyone is interested, and am totally willing to do more!

Also I made my dad watch Rixty Minutes and his reaction to Weekend at Dead Cat Lady's House was hilarious

I'm charging 40 bux each. I know it sounds a little steep but it takes a good 6-8 hours to make and assemble them. That one was 9 inches, though if you want a smaller one I can lower the price

They have a clear purpose - to make him/her money in a creatively satisfying way. Sure, it's kind of a "pass the butter" purpose, but a purpose it is.
