sweetmercifulcrap posted:The last three seasons of South Park have had heavy continuity, but yeah it's not really the best example. I know. The irony is that South Park is now known for its (recent) rigid continuity enough to be cited as example considering how it started.

Fancy Hat! posted:Literally that's all they could do with the character. Also, it sort of felt like Jerry got increasingly dumber as the show went on and he was just a punching bag for Rick & Co. Infact, I feel like the following episode, the family could start tearing eachother apart because they have nobody to freely tear down. It's hard to get much dumber than "You think you can control me with a haircut?" from literally the second episode.

People ITT upset that a therapist takes a deserving poo poo on Rick's life, because he absolutely is a terrible loving person. In what universe (it's definitely not C-137) does Rick not deserve that kind of verbal beatdown? He's a colossal rear end in a top hat with serious control problems, and people are calling the show bad that it actually acknowledges that instead of pretending he's too good for it.

General Dog posted:Show, don't tell. The scene last season where he tries to kill himself tells us the same thing the therapist does in a lot more impactful manner. Having a character we don't really know summarize a character's flaws for us (flaws thay we're already intimately familiar with) isn't especially interesting. I eagerly look forward to your pitch for a cartoon that has literally no expository dialogue. Exposition, particularly in the form of dialogue, isn't inherently bad. It's when you get to stupid poo poo like the end of Interstellar where main characters repeatedly shout simple concepts back at each other that it's a problem. This was totally fine. Part of the impact of this scene in particular is that it's someone that isn't Rick pointing out that he's bad at this poo poo. As long as he's the one doing it he can just rationalize it away and pretend it didn't exist in the first place. Having it in the open and particularly where his family can see it is a bigger impact than that scene you just referenced.

The whole point is that Rick would rather commit what amounts to small-scale genocide, multiple-murder, and literally destroy some embassy (formerly) full of people in order to not have to spend time with his family doing something he doesn't like. The ultraviolence is kinda necessary for it to be significant.

dtkozl posted:Why did we need to see it? We have seen it several times before. We don't need to see someone get the last word on Rick. He isn't going to change. If you want him to change then honestly you fail to get the basic reason why this show is funny, which is these are fundamentally terrible people. Once he becomes a good person he stops being entertaining because at that point you have destroyed the dramatic tension between him and his little sidekick. It's okay to not get the jokes, really. You don't have to poo poo on everyone else's likes because you didn't get it.

lovely Wizard posted:I'm not mad, I posted that I thought episode was bad because big ol monologues/soapboxes by writers who want to add some inner deepness to funny cartoon scientist is not good writing. You seem really mad. Literally everything about this episode was a monument to how shallow Rick's character is. That was the entire loving point, literally from the first ten seconds, and you've managed to latch onto this idea that just because somebody unloaded a philosophical dump on Rick's life it was to be "deep". Seriously, it's fine that you didn't get it. Just stop making GBS threads up the thread with your non-comprehension.

PostNouveau posted:The pickle episode's problem was the weird eastern european embassy stuff. They're terrorists and have folklore about a pickle man? Dumb. Woulda been better if it was him overcoming nature the whole time lol automatically assuming 'threatening' means 'terrorist'. Also the computer guy freaking the gently caress out and screaming "It's because I threw half away my sandwich!" is one of the best lines in the episode.

I liked Rick's B plot, but the Beth/Summer/Morty/Jerry A plot was more annoying than funny. "Jerry is a loving moron, take 12" can only be dressed up so many ways that are actually good and "online dating will destroy the planet" wasn't one of them.

This was definitely the best single gag in the episode. I also really appreciate that it's completely unexplained how that guy even got to Rick's toilet paradise in the first place.
