Rick and Morty - Look At Me!!

I totally assumed it was Mr. Poopy Butthole.

That video is hilarious.

Now in color:

So I just got through this on Netflix and I dunno... By Interdimensional Cable II I was kinda done. It's wildly inventive but the pervasive nihilism of the series left me feeling pretty flat about it all. I get it, and maybe 15 years ago I would have ended up liking it a lot more, but it was just tiresome for me in the end. I got through the whole lot in case I was missing something since a lot of people are really positive on it but I still don't see it. Can anyone point to any redeeming qualities I missed or have I just moved too far past this sort of thing to go back?

Well, as someone who was forced into the whole christian thing and religion growing up and was only able to realize and escape that in my 20's, I really enjoy the nihilism aspects. If you were able to grow up without that, I can imagine the nihilism being a bit excessive. That's just me on that aspect.

If you don't like "Something Ricked This Way Comes", then drop it. That episode is pure genius, and if that doesn't click with you, then the style of humor is not going to be for you. The second season is actually better than the first overall, but nothing is as good as that episode.

Sad is happy for deep people.

You're right in that the same general themes are repeated a lot. I guess I continue to enjoy it because of the cleverness and creativity in how those themes are explored. It may be kind of depressing, but at least it's smart. And I'll take smart but sad over dumb and happy anytime.
I guess I'm also just happy to see that there are other people out there that see the world I do. *don't let the existential dread set in.*

Um... there's a new episode on right now.

Surprise season 3 premier!!!! They've been spinning it all night. They're on repeat 4 or 5 now.

That was the Rickest way to start Season 3.

HE WHO CONTROLS THE PANTS CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE.

Holy sh*t. That was amazing.

My favorite is still Total Rickall, but this one definitely scores among the top episodes. There's just so much going on I ended up watching it back to back 3 times. 97 more years!

I was really happy they're streaming it online. I'll probably buy the episodes on Amazon in order to keep watching the season.

Keep watching for the after credit scene.

Well, Germany is obviously not one of the "select locations" where the new episode can be watched.

I would be surprised if someone hasn't already uploaded it to YouTube.

Yup.

Just in case anyone missed this semi-official short..

Something seems.... familiar ... about that voice.

Here are the season 3 promos together which can be just as funny as the the show. The 8 bit stuff is awesome.

Rick and Morty and Paul Robertson are a perfect fit!

Awesomely long R&M animated GIF featuring portraying co-dependency

Jerry and Beth has some serious tongue action going on at the top part of that GIF.

Sold! I was a little on the fence as to whether or not I should catch a Thursday showing here, but I'm gonna pull the trigger and go to it after work now this Thursday.

Season 3 starts/continues on July 30. Pickle Riiiiick!
