Wild Horses posted:eh listen, i might've said it as a spur of the moment thing, but i really feel rick and morty was the strongest in the first season, and steadily been growing weaker. i think the second season was way stronger and more consistent than the first to be honest. i really liked this episode and its definitely far too early to say if the quality has significantly diminished. most cartoons in my experience peak at their third season so we'll see.

This seems totally consistent with season 2 quality, which was really good quality. I honestly love how there's already people acting like the 3rd season is going to be terrible based on......... uh.... a good pre-released episode?

counterfeitsaint posted:I hope we still see Jerry some. I like him, mostly I think because Parnell's voice is now burned into my head as the quintessential loser thanks to R&M and Archer. At least in Archer, his character has a penis so huge that he had to look into getting it ensmalled, and he was an inexplicably proficient sex addict who got so much trim on the side that Lana found his cheating more loathsome than Archer's. I don't feel too bad about him being the Archer butt monkey because he got laid. Like, a lot. Jerry? Not quite so much.

The thing with Jerry for me is that despite him being right in a lot of ways regarding Rick he's also kind of a massive piece of poo poo. Let's not forget the time he left his wife out of the car he was hiding in with a crazed homeless man or his (at least in the comics) willingness to let his children be murdered if he could be spared and just overall worthlessness. Yeah his family doesn't really respect him but he kinda doesn't deserve any.

Lana said he was big like once, and that's the only reason she was dating him for awhile. Despite his supposed sex addiction we haven't seen him not pathetic and alone for like several seasons now, probably since season one. I'm rewatching season seven since it just dropped on Netflix, and my favorite Malory burn from the last episode was Cyril: How's Ron? Malory: Oh he's fine, how's nobody? I don't think he's getting laid like ever.

Yeah Jerry is basically cartoon EB Farnum. He's a scummy, self-absorbed shitheel. He simultaneously thinks everyone else is beneath him and that he's the only person whose problems matter. He's the least likable character on the show.

Jerry is basically a better written Meg from Family Guy. They both get poo poo on constantly to the point where it borders/edges into cruelty but while with Meg she's just a high schooler with typical teen issues so it seems really hosed up and honestly not funny when the show dumps on her so hard, Jerry is very clearly shown to deserve most if not all of the poo poo that gets thrown on him so it makes it easier to laugh at it. Like that scene where Beth finds that huge phone bill from a 900 number that was literally Jerry desperately trying to talk to someone for friendship would be legitimately depressing for another character but for Jerry it just seems pathetic since earlier in the episode he was literally trying to scam his own daughter for money.

To me, the scene that sells Jerry is when he leaves the daycare and (rightly) flips out at all the weird alien poo poo. He can't handle it, his mind can't operate with enough flexibility for that stuff, all he knows is Beth and suburban life and failure. E: VVV Exactly. Most people would be Jerry, but they want to imagine they'd be Rick (or at least Morty I guess). WampaLord fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Apr 5, 2017 |

The episode that fully encapsulates Jerry is M. Night Shaym-Aliens! when he gets trapped in the simulation running at 5% and has the greatest day of his life.

Watching it back again, I figured the biggest hint that the memory was completely fabricated was the fact that it took place in 1998 and showed Beth as a toddler, which wouldn't line up with anything, along with the Breaking Bad house and the fact that they both died.

Or he didn't give a poo poo about the small details and just wanted to taste that sauce again, I dunno.

I guess whatever it was isn't gonna happen now there's no auction, but I had an idea about what the other things that may or may not happen would be.. Basically looking at the way the show is with meta humor and stuff I thought that maybe McDonalds would bring back the sauce, but not as an endorsement of the new mulan movie or whatever, but as an endorsement of who ever won the auction, as though they had a movie or a popular show or whatever. There'd be commercials, happy meal toys of this poor confused rear end hole. the works. Get the Chuck Spencer meal! at participating restaurants, with the chuck spencer sauce and spencer mcnuggets! With Rick and Morty commenting over the top of the commercials like they were from a dimensional cable episode..sure there'd be a little rick and morty logo on everything somewhere but they would make it look so much like it was for Spencing it out! in cinema's this fall!

It's memories, not time travel. McDonald's can be in 1998, the garage memory can be sometime else.
