Rick and Morty vs JoJo fandom. Same, different, what are your thoughts?

It just depends. The people from JoJo who constantly reference garbage shitpost crusaders memes, for example the Kira monologue one, are the absolute worst. Although I will admit the monologue comment on the killer queen music video made me laugh. But the people who have been with the show for a long time are usually pretty cool. At least the fandom for jojo can't ruin the show.

Luckily, JoJo is never going to be influenced by redditors

I'll See Ya' on the Dark Side of the Moon

@Pioxys i never eatched a undertale gameplay or played it yet i know EVERYTHING that happens

@Mr. Friendship Thank you for this, I was very tired when I was having this argument and you summed up what I wanted to say perfectly.

@The Rat King I'm pretty sure you are referring to the skeptics community where alt-right wingers are against diversity and LGBT representation because they believe that progressivism will destroy the Western civilization. While I do understand that forced diversity as well as misrepresentation of LGBT are becoming problem in the entertainment industry nowadays, they immediately take the blame on minorities for being part of the "woke leftist propaganda" when there is no such thing as a propaganda. Like you said, if there is a black female lead, they'll freak out and complained about it that only white people should take the leave. Politics or not, bad movies can be really problematic when it comes to bad writing and poor acting skills. The "skeptic" community also complained that politics shouldn't be in any entertainment medium, but they bring some political debates that has nothing to do with the movies, TV shows, or video games.

That's like one saying that the Animal Farm novel is "too political" when that's actually the whole point.

Both shows seem to be fine but the fan base is so fucking annoying.

@lotty last I checked it wasn't the 1980s, it's no longer the satanic panic with conservative bible thumpers trying to restrict freedom of expression, it's now lefties trying to control language and expression under the guise of anything they don't like is sexist/racist/homophobic, etc.

@Captain Weekend "they dont try to force things to conform to its values" you just havent lived in america since 1980 or ??????? conservatism has ALWAYS dominated what we can/cant show in the mainstream

@samuel haines i literally wanted to watch the show until you said that

@Sunny in a present, what will he do? Once you tune out the fandom, it's honestly pretty good. It's really the only anime I can stand to watch these days, and it's introduced me to bands and other music I wouldn't have known about or cared to look into more beforehand. As somebody who loves all the music references in all eight parts, it's worth looking back at if you want to give it another go if nothing else piques your interest in the moment.

@Ocean Planet My guy, winning an argument means that you sent your point across and proved the other point wrong. All arguments are about winning.

@The Rat King <br>It wasn't about winning?

@HaremKnight me too i was gonna give it a chance i even saw some clips of episodes but the fandom completely turned me off from the show.

@Captain Weekend Okay, you've won. I haven't been able to think of anything. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I have never watched JoJo solely due to the annoying fanbase.

@Captain Weekend Okay, I thought you were gonna be cool about this, because you were before, but that's besides the point. First off, I'm not even left wing. I share more right beliefs than left. Second off, my point is that the right wing can ruin things by seeing agendas where there aren't. Let's say for example, there's a movie with a black woman lead. The right wing looks at it and sees an agenda. Then, they create a controversy. Now people see the property worse because of the controversy. Third off, I said that sometimes it is pandering because I wanted you to see that I think the left isn't perfect, but you see that as admitting I lost. I can share views with a party and not think that they're flawless. It honestly sounds like you can't take people saying that the right wing can be bad too.

@Captain Weekend What I meant when I said that is that the characters are just like that because they are. If anything you've reaffirming what I said by just seeing what I said and saying that others want to reinforce an agenda. Sometimes things just are how they are because they are. Sometimes politics don't really matter, and both the left and right fail to see this all the time.

@The Rat King You're basically just reaffirming what I've said, the right fight to preserve media as it is, where as the left fight to change it to better suit their political agenda. Also it being "just what the writers want" is often because they share the same agenda as the radical left that tends to ruin these communities. You're trying to enforce the idea of horseshoe theory here when it doesn't work because both sides do not act in the same way. I don't sympathize with the far right but I can recognize in this scenario they are better at not ruining communities than the far left.

@Captain Weekend while I haven't seen the right wing really ruin a community exactly, I have seen them get really mad at companies for making their protagonists women to be "progressive". While sometimes it is pandering, a lot of the time it's just what the writers want. Many people from both sides of the political spectrum hate properties for having certain genders/races as a leading/supporting role.

@The Rat King I've yet to really see the radical right wholesale ruin a community like the far left has though. Typically people on the far right are more conservative when it comes to media, unlike the left they don't demand diversity quotas be met or races of characters be changed for the sake of being progressive, often whatever they will latch to they try to keep it from changing for better or worse. Usually right wingers are attracted to a community because they believe the source material shares its values, they will fight to keep it that way, but they don't typically try to force something to conform to their values.

@Captain Weekend <br>While I agree with most of your points, the one about the far left didn't sit right with me. While I agree that quite a bit of the radical left wing does that kind of thing, the radical right wing does the same shit. Radicalism in and of itself involves getting offended at things that don't match what you think and trying to force it anywhere you can.

Honestly there is no good fandom. The truth about communities built around anything is quality vs quantity. The larger the following something has, the more diluted discussion around it becomes due to the need for mass appeal. The discussion around jojos was good back when it was the jojo community and not a fandom. The anime has functioned as a double edged sword, whilst its great to have one of the most influential mangas fully adapted in high quality with a great amount of care by a production company that has a deep love of the source material and is entirely focused on being as accurate to it as they can, it's also opened the floodgates to the more negative aspects of fandom. For ages the jojo community was seen as the best out of all anime communities because they didn't fall into the same traps that larger fandoms did, being a lot more insular and niche due to how unconventional the source material was compared to other anime and manga, however it became only a matter of time before that reputation was lost with jojos becoming just another trashy anime fandom. I think part of this is the people who break good communities into bad fandoms are the people who don't realize they are the problem, they rush to a niche community as soon as it receives a modicum of popularity, flood it with fanaticism, low quality content and discussion, ruin the reputation, then complain about how bad it's become and then move on to find the next community to ruin, perpetuating the cycle. A lot of the time this also comes from people who don't enjoy things for what they are, but rather try to force whatever they like through their preconceived notion to the detriment of anyone who doesn't share their worldview. This is best demonstrated with the far left who try to enforce a message of social justice into whatever media they consume, the more these kinds of people occupy a community the worse it gets. I think this phenomenon is best seen with the /r/shitpostcrusaders subreddit. Originally it was a pretty good quality meme subreddit, however, the infiltration of leftists with strong agendas on the mod team led to them enforcing stupid rules in the name of social justice which alienated the better content creators which harmed the subreddit massively when the quality was already in decline due to the higher quantity of low quality memes. It essentially functioned as a microchasm of the jojo fandom as a whole.

Jojo is the most wholesome fandom in existence. People crapping about earrings in another show. Jojo has a nazi be part of the squad and no one raises a finger.

I feel the Rick and Morty fanbase is at least more self-contained, where the obnoxious part of the Jojo fandom will shoehorn it everywhere they can. It's to a point where "Is that a JoJo reference?" in itself is a meme

Every fandom has toxic side. For most it's a loud minority... But even then, when there's a million fans of something, a ratio of 1:100 is still a big number from an outside perspective.

When the JoJo fandom finds out there is a jojo exhibit at the Louvre they will destroy the place.

Completely different. Rick and Morty doesn’t always focus on action, it focuses on character development. Jojo’s doesn’t have too much character development and focuses more on the fighting and the complete and absolute bullshit absurd logic used during the fight scenes. I love both shows and I don’t see too many flaws with both because Jojo’s doesn’t need much character development and Rick and Morty doesn’t need more action because they’re a perfect balance of both.

Same in the sense that they both have insufferable fanbases. But I would say that's it. I'm not aware of JoJo fans influencing anything, or tainting the show's reputation.

Never was too interested in Jojo. It's something I MUST watch though, but when I see it everywhere, like Undertale in 2016, I sadly tend to grow comepletely uninterested in it. Saw the first JoJo tho, and I was in love. After that, I just took a break. Looking at the fandom outside, it's not too bad, but it's been getting to that point rapidly, overtime. Could be wrong, but that's how I always seen it. I'm just tired of looking at it shoved in everything.

It's a shame JoJo is really enjoyable but damn did it get a bad fandom<br>I say not as bad as my hero academia fandom where they bully the creator for having "problematic " elements but just as annoying as r&m

Who got this recommended after *se5 ep8*and be like: @_@


Dudes talking about this like it was fucking vietnam


I'm a huge fan of Rick and Morty... EXCEPT the pickle Rick episode. That by far was the most unfunny thing in the entire series and everyone paraded it around like it was so genius.


They make amazing animations, never seen more detailed cartoons in my life ever.


gotta say the writing and analysis is superb. the accents with ESPRIT take it into another realm of enjoyability once thought impossible to me. awesome work. thank you!


As someone who just got into the show this year, I have to say that I thought that Seasons 1 and 3 were the best while 2 and 4 were inconsistent. Knowing nothing about the show, I watched the first three episodes of season 3 on a plane and I didn't fully understand episodes 1 or 2. Pickle Rick wasn't only funny, but I at least got to see the family in a relatively normal situation. So say what you will about the episode, but at least it was easily accessible to a newcomer like myself.

Sure, beginning the series at season 3 wasn't ideal, but I didn't exactly have a choice.


It's weird because I personally enjoyed season 3 more than 1 or 2. I thought it was the most consistently funny of the series, and Pickle Rick is probably my favorite episode of the show. Season 4 was hit and miss.


19:27 in the season 3 premier, he does posses the bodies of three separate Ricks, so it’s possible the third and final Rick—the one from the main Council of the Citadel of Ricks—had some body modifications and a fearless personality. Remember, Rick said that he lost his ability to improvise in a gromflomite he possessed earlier, so that means it’s possible for some personalities to be forgotten as well


When you're watching a random video in your recommended and realize halfway through it's probably because Gex was mentioned one time

I haven't seen blasts like this since Taco Night at James Earl Jones' house!

Note to self: don't drink tap water at Jerry Garcia's

This is just like movie night at george cloonie's house


I mostly disagree to be honest. Character development has still been pretty consistently good on Rick and Morty imo.


anyone who lets the "fandom" determine what they like or not are tools


Although I did like the Pickle Rick episode (which is basically one of 3 maybe 4 good episodes from season 3). I do like the hope you have for show towards the end of the video. And even Harmon seems to hint at this with his "more Emmy-worthy episodes" in coming seasons. Season 4 was half great.


I used to like the third season, now I like the first two more. I used to like the middle seasons of SpongeBob, now I like the first four more. Dammit these videos truly make me change my mind, you reveal so much meaning I missed!

How much you enjoy something can change from how you think about it. If you decide ahead of time you will like/dislike something then you will probably like/dislike it. That can happen in hindsight as well.


The writing team were a bunch of bro's. It was clear from every single frame. It was the output from a nerd frathouse. Unfortunately they caught the fucking "diversity" disease and felt they had to incorporate wahmins, which may or may not have something to do with Harmon's awful behavior towards a female staff member from another show he headed. And his following earned in full shame about the event. When you throw women into a frathouse party the dynamics change completely. And this goes both ways btw. Wahmin are just as fucking awful when they think nobody watches, throw a couple of guys in there and it falls flat on its ass.


I might catch hell for this, but I'm glad Dan Harmon is out of the picture. Rick and morty can be fun again


I've been thinking about this all day. And even if i kinda agree with you, theres is one part i dont. I think giving rick the feeling that Rick is "indestructible", the nothing matters in the universe feeling has a bigger effect to the viewer, reather than worrying about "is he gonna die in this episode" feeling. I think that the univers is a caotic place, and nothing mattters what we do, is a really good psycological feeling, and how this serie is showing us, but! The serie also shows that the universe is infinite and how fun is it to explore, and it dies worth explore and going on adventures, to find fun in it.


You are a great art critic. Thanks for your aporte.


Interesting analysis which I much enjoyed. I always found fry from futurama very unsympathetic and basically a  sociopath whereas Rick in his various incarnations is sympatheti and all too familiar.. Somehow morty is the heir to Arthur dent that he is not to me. Also who is to say Susan S was right about Rick? And whose mind is really under its own control? X File music...

I meant morty is the heir that fry is not edit


Finally watched this. Is it me, or is the Rick from the pilot ep completely different from the rest of the show?

Could just be me, but that Rick seemed less "Rick" then the rest of the show. To be honest...I liked that Rick the most.


Ignorance is bliss, I had no idea about the maad fandom, so I can watch rick and morty in peace


20 episodes in a 4 year span is pretty great by UK standards.


The problem with nihilism is that it poses a problem without a solution. To ignore nihilist is to be willfuly stupid. To stay at it is to miss the point. The world really is without an inherent meaning. But you need it to function. So, what do you do? That is where the thought truly begins and diverges.


To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.


i thought nobody said anything about it lol was looking for this comment


I avoided watching Rick and morty for a very long time because a majority of the people I encountered who were fans of the show, and would implore me to watch it, were extremely obnoxious about it. When I finally watched the show I did appreciate it and thought it was great and funny. However, I immediately felt that the fans over hype it, and also create this air around it like "you have to be intelligent to understand the show". Someone of my close friends who gave me this impression, who I have known for a long time and know very well, are quite possibly some of the least intelligent, and philosophically impotent people I've ever known. I realized that a lot of the actual depth and substance that exists in the show goes right over these hard-core fans heads, and most people who are obsessed with rick and morty really just like the crude parts, like when Rick is just drunk and ranting about nonsense.


8:08 MatPat does provide in another Rick and Morty Film Theory episode that his theory on Mr. Poopybutthole is not plausible by a long shot


God dammit emplemon, your use of vaporwave is incredibly based.

Pᴀʀᴀsᴇʟᴇɴᴇ Tᴀᴏ


amazing video, I absolutely agree with it


Season 4 is pretty good. Wonder if season 5 can maintain that positivity


Basically the writers catered to the loud fandom and took several steps back with the show, but they could rise again.

Yeah no checked season 4s first 2 episodes It sucked so god damn hard I don't think this will recover

I agree. Pickle Beth or Pickle Summer would have been far more interesting.


To be fair, most shows peak in their first 2 seasons (HIMYM). South Park got around this by evolving. Breaking bad had a clear destination and was more like an episodic charecter study movie.

“Pickle Rick” is a great episode. People can be mad about its popularity and the memes. But the episode was very well received by fans and critics when it aired. Then y’all annoying “fans” wanted to retroactively hate on it because of the memes and the hype. The episode did perhaps represent what should have been a shift in the series, one that the show wasn’t ready to make. So, I guess in some ways the episode was a mistake. But the episode itself remains a standout, though perhaps it came too early in the series.


man summer nights was the perfect mood-setter track for this. excellent vid


My favorite moment of this video is him ripping on film/game theory.


I remember seeing people getting Rick and Morty tattoos... dark times.


25:00 I mean, you're not too far off from the run of the mill parasocial relationship.


i watch rick and morty for the family drama, i hope they keep it

Same. IIt's tough because I know Rick is never getting redeemed and the only possible ending I could want is him losing. <br>Yet I love him so much. It's painful to care about the family like this.

I still think Harmons best work was and still is season 3 of Community


didnt even know this show had a fandom, and i watched it 5 times!


Unfortunately Nihilism gets a bad rep nowadays. The whole point is to realize nothing has INHERENT meaning so you can freely attribute meaning to whatever you want. It's not just about giving up because nothing matters.

Imagine unironically calling yourself a nihilist

Lemmy put it in a way you people can understand: Nihilist is Doomer, Existentialist is Bloomer.

That's not nihilism, that's either existentialism or absurdism.

That’s not nihilism, that’s existentialism


Goddammit ! I hate to be on the "against hiring women side"  just because some ppl hire women for the wrong reasons ! This shouldnt be so hard !


Yeah, some jokes require to have a basic understandment.
But like futurama, for example.
The fact that so many fans of the show would not shut up about how smart you had to be anger me


I gotta say man. That final ep of Futurama, Shit made me cry


For years and years I screamed about ratings and the idiocy of broadcast TV, way before I even had broadband I was saying, why are you cancelling this show, cos it only got 6 million viewers??!! That's a lot of people don't stop making it, just put in on the internet and make another show as well to satisfy the people who don't like this one.
If there is one defining theme for those of us who were kids in the 90s it's regression to the mean and appeal to mediocrity, everything was aimed at the largest possible market, so it was all incredibly bland. Then something wonderful started to happen with the internet and cable TV and we got better shows, edgier shows, more experimental shows, I remember Watching Queer as Folk when I was 14 (I wasn't gay or at least didn't think so at the time, but I was fascinated by a glimpse at the lives of people who weren't Monica and Chandler). And that was great for a time but them as shows kept becoming more and more niche, communities formed around them, and suddenly we had people starting to complain about literally anything that was in their 5% preference bracket, like no one had ever thought them how to change the channel. and Now we're retroactively going back and sanitising even the 90s shows that absolutely everyone agreed were suitable for all audiences.
When I see these people going after racism and sexism and anti-LGBT bigotry etc. I always remember this time when my dad spent like 30 minutes trying to catch and kill and fly in the living room before realising it was actually just a water spot on his glasses.
What I'm trying to say is that there are undoubtedly still some occasional cases of these evils and I don't like them either (although I don't necessarily want them sanitised from my media either, I doubt all those WW2 movies I used to watch with the family would have had the same tone or message if the nazis had just been running around handing out flowers and candy). A lot of what people are pointing to and calling unacceptable now, was just the reality of the zeitgeist at the time. Would I agree with the very very over done anti-trans jokes in Ace Ventura if it were released today? No I wouldn't I think there's a way to handle an issue like that more sensitively while still finding humour in it. (A good example might be in Archer, when he falls in love with the Russian Assassin/Sex robot, and freaks the hell out when he finds her vagina soaking in the bathroom sink.) But I really don't care about moments of casual homophobia between Joey and Chandler, they were guys in their 20s in 90s New York,  being single and on the market, trying to compete against models and movie stars, it made all guys like that, not homophobic, just a little insecure about if they were projecting themselves as being manly enough.
And even if you now in 2021 believe that displaying just behaviour or airing such opinions on television is wrong, well I'm sorry kiddo but it happened, we didn't make it up, sure it's a fictional show, but not set in a fictional universe, these were shows about how real identifiable people would cope in outlandish and absurd situations, while also trying to navigate through the random crap of every day life. And I think they taught a lot of us 90s kids how to grow up, before there was a need to invent the term "adulting".

Wow I went off on a tangent there. I suppose if I have any conclusion it's that TV needs to become more of an event again. We should schedule viewing parties (all nicely safely socially distanced using our oculus rifts) so we can sit in a virtual theatre or around a discussion table, and whisper to the person who is virtually sitting next to you, or yell at the screen loud enough for everyone to complain. The afterwards everyone can postmates or doordash or ubereats their favourite junk food, and nom away while discussing what just happened and what it might mean for the greater plot over a zoom call.


The second I saw the picture of Rick with the bald spot I knew it was add time


The McDonald’s pickle Rick guy was just trolling and making fun of the fans


Seems when Dan Harmon either lets off control or loses it the series' become worse off


I like the fact that Emplemon made a parody or film theory in a nutshell


Maybe it's time I start watching Rick and Morty... Never got into it


Pickle Rick was hands down one of best episode. So no worries at all. More of that please.


I appreciate Rick and Morty (I don't but I see the appeal)<br>but Xavier Renegade Angel remains my favorite philosophy show. It was even more unique and had a really unique style of having to research or rewatch episodes to understand a few jokes for hardcore fans of course. Anyone interested even slightly in religion philosophy and stuff Rick and Morty explores, I can't recommend Xavier Renegade Angel enough.

I really didnt care about the pickle rick episode as much. It was funny for what it was at the time andd i enjoyed it as the crazy shit that it was. What really hurt the show for me was more the point about rick becoming a god that turned me off in the long run. There was no tension at all in season 4. Season 4 felt like a bunch of unrelated ideas about what you could do with an immortal, cynical,crazy Professor than anything that the show was before.  Also the story progression came to almost a full stop. Nothing really happened during the whole season. The show still has potential as it can revert at any moment and even retcon without any efford du to the whole multiverse theme. Hope the show comes back stong for season 5


I wasn’t expecting the GeoWizard Wales straight line mission theme music. (9:47)


At its core EmpLemon is a channel about a dysfunctional family

To this day, I only watch season 1 and 2. Haven’t even touched season three and dare I watch season 4


Rick and Morty was always supposed to be dumb humour (Roiland) with a dash of tv tropes (Harmon).  It isn't genius.  It isn't profound.  It's funny.  Regardless, I don't know another show I like which I'd be more embarrassed to admit so.


all the nihilism shit reminds me of a chunk of elder scrolls lore. CHIM is a form of godhood achieved when the person realizes the truth of the universe but continues to believe that things do matter. If the truth is realized and the person becomes a nihilist, they cease to exist. I fucking love how moral that shit is. Become a Vivec, not a Rick.


I’m still here waiting for Rick and morty season 5.


Rick + Morty is much closer to Family Guy , than it is to Futurama. <br>It is more like the "really" late night Adult Swim animation, but not really like Futurama.

34min video which cloud be simplified Down to two words. “Pickle Rick”


I am enjoying it brainlessly everything. With zero expections. Sı I wont dissapointed whatever happens. So Im cool with show


that transition to "keeps" in the description was funny.

edit: just saw the transition in the video lol.


"my media need more nuance!" - dresses in pickle costume to explain point


Futurerama was a good show worth making a video about.
Boondocks was a good show worth making a video about.
But here we are giving more than half an hour to this thing lol.


Season 3 happened. The fanbase became a laughing stock after the high iq essay thing was posted and it became a trend to hate on it and since it went mainstream there were more people to hate

Just enjoy the show. Don't to on Reddit to post yourself doing soyface and holding merchandise.

I guess People just like taking things so seriously they use it as a propaganda rather than a message.


Rick and Morty getting popular made me realize I aged out of pop culture. I watched it and thoguht ah, aqua team hunger force was better. Next thing I know it blew up.


Yo I didn't even realize that the pickle rick skit wasn't a skit and actually a sponsor


9:47 the geowizard theme made me lose my mind


i thought this was gonna be a rick and morty remix of good kid m.a.a.d city


I just watch rock and Morty just because Rick and I have a close personality
And I agree with Rick, humans are a PEICE of ...... hmmm
I need a long think..... give me a sec

Female writers really did help ruin it though

All the good shows and games get the worst fandoms. Think of Undertale and, well, Rick and Morty. It’s a little saddening. The Nihilist part of the show is self aware and I think discourages Nihilism.


I have already abandonded my universe entirely.


JJBA: Excellent series, but fans can be a little crazy sometimes.


That’s a big part of the show that they become more like Rick more depressed and never learn from their mistakes they don’t actually learn until season 4 finale

Same as how they slip political shit in there


I think Rick And Morty is being looked at something it isn’t. It’s just a dumb show with good writing and all these character arcs and all this world building you want from it I don’t believe is what the show is about


that song at 2:50 made me want to go back and replay super mario odyssey


HOLY CRAP MORTY RUN MORTY IVE NEVER SEEN THAT THING BEFORE MORTY RUN


Fnaf, Mha, Homestuck, Supernatural, undertale, Kpop were all destroyed by their outrageous fandoms


Smack dab adding more workers into a project usually slows down said project. Regardless of gender or whatever.


Maybe it’s just because the kids at my highschool that liked it, but I really never saw the appeal of the show, I’ve had friends show me episodes and scenes and it never really clicked idk why everyone else seems to love it


lol bro youre smoooooooooth the way you slipped in that sponsorship!! i fuck with that forreal forreal


Pickle Rick Haters (including EmpLemon): WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH


Man, I miss the days when season 3 was considered subpar. Season 4 wasn't very good, and then the second part was actually BAD. I had never seen a bad Rick and Morty episode before, and all of a sudden every episode pretty much sucked. There are a hundred reasons for it, poor pacing (train episode), recycled arks (I fucked a planet  is awfully similar to the I fucked a hivemind that controls a planet), poorly used refrences in medium that's not built for it (the occasional mention of something like reddit was tolerable, saying we "are gonna do a star wars" is summarizing your whole episode in a shit package), and actual product shilling in an episode. I knew something was going to go wrong when I started seeing the Rick and Morty comercials for Pringles and Wendy's. Granted, they were interesting comercials that didn't even seem like commercials (portraying pringles as a souless corperation and Wendy's as a pack of thugs isn't great brand association), but makeing that connection was off putting. And when they basically put an ad for fucking WRANGLER JEANS as the sole solution to the bad guy I realized the show was fucked


I like love the old Gran Turismo in the background lmao 👌🤣🤣


Ngl, I’m quite offended you’re comparing Rick and Morty to freaking Futurama, the best animated show of all time lol

i found rick and morty so good because they didnt shit on women every second lmao


They had the cheek to make fun of The Simpsons, Family Guy and American Dad for getting bad but Jesus Rick and Morty barely lasted 23 episodes.


7:35 your just saying the 'to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ' copypasta with different words

He's not saying the fans aren't smart enough to get it. Just that they're going in with the wrong expectations, and so are having a different experience. It was made as a dysfunctional family show, and instead got treated as sci-fi action comedy so much, that's what it became, killing it in the process.


LOVE RICK AND MORTY!!<br>PICKLE RICK!!!!!!


Hopefully the popularity dying down will mean season 5 will be a big improvement.


Saying that Star Wars is about dysfunctional family is just laughably wrong. The first Star wars movie had almost no family in it, and look at how popular it was when it first aired. The family stuff was added in the sequel Empire strikes back, and it was only to shock the audience with a plot twist. The only one of the original trilogy that had any family theme at all (and even that was in the background) was the Return of the Jedi.


Couldn't watch this show past the pilot. Am I a weirdo?  I never saw the appeal lol


The show is good, the fandom and attention it got during its peak was not good and pushes me away from wanting to associate with it. Same thing with Undertale and other similar fandoms. Undertale is a PHENOMENAL game but the fandom is very cringey.


Mario Odyssey Steam Garden OST is catchy AF


On Omegle I just goof around with my friends and talk to random people while making stupid jokes. I started wearing a pickle costume, not Pickle Rick, just a normal, everyday pickle. I cant tell you how many times Ive been called “Pickle Rick”. At least 90% of the hundreds of people that Ive met called me that at first glance. It concerned me because it made me realize how far the intellectual comedy of Rick and Morty had fallen since the episode.

I love Rick and Morty. I hate the fans and I hate how much they overrate the intelligence of the show. The only truly intelligent episode was the one with the train in the most recent season.


I like your choice to make Lisa Simpson blue and skin colored in this video, but I totally recommend going back to green for your future content. It might be off-putting to new-coming fans.


So obviously this will get buried, but I have suggestion to mane sense of your claim that season 3 feels aimless. This show is actually from the perspective of Morty, and season 3 is his final loss of innocence and coming of age when he truly sees his hero for the flawed human he is. It hits harder with his parents divorce. All of the traits that you claim make season 3 undesirably "less than', when viewed through this lens, make it feel like a more whole part of the overarching story. This is just from an unwavering fan looking to rationalize the criticism, though. I have not experienced any disappointment with this show, but I also understand how others have. Great deep dive, thanks for the vid


This is totally unrelated but fuck i wish they made a cartoon where each episode was different animation style if crews were used in a cycle to keep every episode a different look and if done right i think it would differ from anything else since theyre not relying on a style it would take creativty and be more difficult which would honestly be so much more entertaining then jus like throwin on full house or sum shit


Wait, people hate Rick and Morty? Oh and people don’t like the pickle Rick episode too now? I obviously travel in different circles lol


noooo don't turn me into a marketable plushie

yeah, you^re dead wrong about season three


12:35 = "Fuk Yuen Hot Pot Seafood Restaurant" or "Fuck You in Hot Pot Seafood Restaurant"?

These are the true questions at play here.


Ayy that intro song was the sample that was used in that Wifisfuneral song Highway To Hell


What’s the name of the song you play at the credits


so the film the- I mean cinematic hypothesis  section was just an ad?

I feel like this whole "fandom influencing media" thing isn't exclusive to Rick & Morty. I feel like I've noticed some parallels between your conclusions and the From Software's Dark Souls game series.
Dark Souls was not designed to be a hard game. The creators just longed for the old days when RPGs didn't aggressively hold the players hand, like they were in recent games. The fact that Dark Souls gained the reputation of being a hard and unforgiving game was an accidental byproduct of its core design philosophy.  In fact once you get a feel for the game and learn all the game's basic mechanics, Dark Souls is actually pretty easy and very forgiving. Yet that reputation and resulting marketing push attracted a loyal, vocal, and elitist fanbase that grew large enough to warrant a Dark Souls sequel. This is the first 2 seasons of R&M.

Dark Souls 2 was hard and unforgiving by design and it still splits the fandom to this very day. This is seasons 3 and 4 of R&M. A piece of media catering to the desires of a fanbase where many had gravely misinterpreted why they loved that piece of media to begin with. An interpretation they held until that piece of media actually became what the fandom had originally interpreted it as.

Dark Souls 3 was a return to form for the trilogy and is almost as universally loved as Dark Souls 1 among the fandom. Even if some people note its lack of ambition, noting that the game seems to be trying too hard to be Dark Souls 1 instead of a proper sequel.  The fandom has really mellowed out too,  They're practically the exact opposite in 2020 compared who they were in 2013 and who their reputation still proclaims them to be. The wider culture around From Software has basically trapped them into the niche of "that company that makes hard videogames". This is what R&M might become in season 5.

Then why do I find dark souls 2 combat far easier and more methodical than 1 or 3, despite playing all 3 multiple times...?

@Daniel Silva Yeah that's why the core design philosophy of DS2 was so different than 1. DS1 was mostly one man's vision and he handed the reigns over to someone else. <br>By all rights DS2 is a good game, there's really nothing wrong with it. The game was just taken in a direction the new director was led to believe the fans wanted by the community and the marketing. But it turned out that most of the fans didn't know what they actually wanted.

I hugely disagree, the biggest issue with DS2 wasn't that it was unforgivable, the issue here is that DS2 was unfair and brutal for all the wrongs reasons. DS1 was hard but a fair challenges, it never put you in a small room with 30 ennemies all at once, DS2 level design is mostly tight and small corridor which does not help the gameplay at all, making it feel cheap and relied on luck sometimes. No matter your opinion on DS3, it was way more in-line with what ds1 was, also DS2 did not have the same director so they had very differents vision on what game design is, that's why it's so drastically opposite to miyazaki other projects on a core level (sekiro demon souls DS1/3 and bloodborne)<br>And before the classic DS2 fans tell me to git gud, i literally got the platinum trophy

Wasn't the main problem with DS2 was because the director of 1 and 3 was making Bloodborne, so they got some other guy to do it?


I'm glad you step your YTPs aside, this part of yours is way more entertaining and interesting, looking forward for your next video!

I remember being disappointed by season three the further it went on (though I really like the Ricklantis episode).

Manic Anti-Hero Attachment Disorder is a good concept explaining this. I also think Roiland & Harmon became too concurrent with pop culture, and it's really noticeable between season 2 & 3 with the references and plot ideas driving every episode.
It seems they became overly attuned to the current pop and underground culture opinions of the
show, and it heavily influenced the plot/character outcomes, on top of adapting to mounting popularity and network demands.

I finally got around to watching season 4 ep 1 weeks ago and was disappointed, but this video gives me hope it can get better.

P.s. Yes, good choice on the MAAD acronym intro with We Are Happy Landfill, UwU.


What’s the music at 14:57 that hit me with a wave of nostalgia...?? Was it music from Sky TV or tony hawk?

Pretty sure it's the main menu music from Tony Hawk 1


The therapy scene comes off more to me as a juxtaposition between the absolute cartoony madness of the Pickle Rick adventure and having him drag his decaying pickle body into the family therapy session only to be completely deconstructed verbally. I think it's meant to be way heavy handed and too on the nose. Rick tries to shrug it off, but by the end of Season 4 it's clear that he already knew thia about himself and just couldn't admit it.

Rick can survive his wacky sci-fi nonsense, but the real world is what actually hurts him.

But I can see how it comes off as being condescending on the part of the writers


Rick and Morty had less "viewers" but I bet more people actually ended up watching it with piracy and streaming services


EmpLemon selling bald preventing medication was the 2020 twist I didnt expect


A Never Ever video on Avatar: The Last Airbender would be the hypest shit

@Caco Mellucci Since it’s recent spike in popularity it’s gotten a bad image from insufferable fans, however the show itself is really good.

@Dave Radman well I would recommend it (obviously)

yessss that and Avatar and my favourite shows

Same with bojack horseman Its only been a few months and I already miss it 😥

@HeianAlien looking forward to the bastardised live action Netflix version. I think E;R may actually commit sudoku over it.


7:52 out of witch rick and morty episoode is this?


Idc what anyone says, Rick and Morty is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen.

I think it's THE funniest. Not since the first classic run of the Simpsons would a show on tv find me laughing out loud many times

@NickWasNotHere fuck yes boondocks is one of my favorite shows ever. that and chapelles show. Those comedy shows in the 2000's were just so damn good.

Same here bro shows fucking hilarious the problem starts when people start trying to act like Albert Einstein to others just because they watch the show and others don’t enjoy it

@Louzy  ik its not. Its my fav show in general

@NickWasNotHere breaking bad is not a comedy

@Papa's Scooperia Worker  In general, Breaking Bad. In comedy, the Simpsons

@NickWasNotHere yea Simpsons Seasons 2-8 were straight 🔥.

Rick and Morty comes in second place for funny TV shows. Golden age Simpsons and Boondocks are also my favorite shows.


I don’t even like the SHOW anymore. I don’t wanna see a pathetic sociopathic old man abuse people around him


I kid you not he's on a Downword spiral his name is Emp Lemon funniest shit I've ever seen


We not go talk about the Kendrick Lamar reference in the title of the video


I feel like this finally put words to why I kinda stopped enjoying the show.

Wel too be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand it.

JK


"Im Pickle Rick!" is the 2010s "Im Rick James, Bitch!".

Yeah actually this is pretty fucking spot on


Still not as good as aqua teen or boondocks

I feel like anyone that is "intelligent" knows fandoms are an idiot thing

@Reismehl You'll find, if you read my comment, that I don't disagree with you. Being smart is not the same thing as being strong-willed and independent.

@Googie Gress huh, you know you kinda sound like the stereotypical Rick and Morty fan, ironic

@Googie Gress You shouldn't generalize. Correlation and causalities are not the same. Does anyone who is smart has to have a leader role? Can't a smart person enjoy being part of a group and having discussions?

Well to be fair you need to have a really high, Galaxy Brain IQ to enjoy a fandom

@Googie Gress It's just the way of things, i'm scared of what will come when that change, because someone is working really hard to kill what is left of humanity.

@///////////// Your understanding is shallow, right now at least. I encourage you to keep working at it.

@12 21 Dunning-Kruger was debunked. It's a statistical fluke that appears in any data organized the same way, even random noise. I know, it's hard, because I desperately want it to be true too. If it helps, some 5% of people actually suffer from the effect, but 95% aren't, so it's more like 5% of people are dense in this way instead of everyone. But maybe your boss is one of the 5%!

@Googie Gress it's like that effect that I forgot the name but is basically when you think you know something very well but you probably dont

It's a way for people to engage in tribal behavior, same as pro sports, politics, and religion. Intelligence isn't mutually exclusive with those, but people who have less willpower and self-sufficiency will naturally feel comforted by participating as a follower, and those with high willpower and self-sufficiency won't need that emotional support so will participate more on the fringe. And the latter, if clever and ambitious, tend to lead if they choose to become embroiled.

So for example in a cult, gullible weak people will be subjugated and their use of intelligence blunted, while those who think for themselves will be excluded by the clear-headed leadership. The result is that the cultists seem like stupid cows and the leaders seem like genius supervillains. It's a combination of a sorting process and people enjoying playing their roles.


Judas murdered Jesus. Should we blame Jesus or his disciple?


I have already learned "the main lesson" of this video by myself long time ago. Many fandoms before Rick and Morty have had the same effect, but if anything unique in Rick and Morty, it's seeing that effect (more) in real world than usually. I would not enjoy undertale if I cared about it's cringy fandom more than none I already do, and this applies to many things. I applied this logic even to Rick and Morty before I felt it's last season had grown weaker possibly for those fans, instead of me and my kin in fandom.

Fandoms just generally become like unregulated churches (this means also; Self Regulation etc.)  - you get loads of zealous people over their fanaticism riling each other into new heights.


Okay... But the Gran Turismo music though.


Yeah, the fandom for this show makes me pretty hesitant to mention I watch it a lot of times.

Like in a twitch stream I wasn’t aware of how toxic the fans were and I mentioned I liked the show and the response was people treating me like I’m one of the toxic fans because I enjoy watching the show.

A similar thing happens at anime conventions if I mention I played sports in school or, heaven forbid, they discover I played 6 of them.

Often times people hear about something you enjoy and their reaction is to stereotype you as being like the negative toxic people they’ve met who’re into that. Like if I assumed every league of legends player had anger issues and is a toxic human being because the ones I know personally are kinda like that.


Rick and Morty could have become as big as the Simpson if they could have pumped out more episodes

I'm about 7 minutes in, and something has been realized by me.

I've been watching your channel for years now. You are a genius when it comes to understanding stuff. That's the best way I can put it.

I'm not saying you are Albert Einstein, but I kind of am. You're the Albert Einstein of Media and culture.

Every time I watch a video you put out I often gain insight. I don't think any other channel has consistently given any interesting perspective into things I never thought I would care about till now.

To be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand emp lemon


Pls talk about Xavier renegade angle that show was like a fever dream

12 oz. Mouse, Xaiver Renegade. Tender Touches, Gemusetto Machu Picchu, Etc. Adult Swim is a zeitgeist of cool werid shit

I know this show just from the do you belive in God clip


I'm scared on the fact that you bought and own a pickle Rick suit


i think the praying mantis episode actually ruined the series long term, as it kinda fucked up the whole family dynamic


Adult Swim put Rick and Morty in limbo because Adult Swim hates having good shows. See: Metalocalypse, ATHF, Futurama, and others.

I'll never forgive them for only giving Saul of the Mole Men a single season, not giving The Big O a third season and only ever doing a pilot for Korgoth of Barbaria.

@𝖅𝖊𝖆𝖕𝖘𝖎𝖓 Personally I think it’s getting better now. It’s not as good as when it first premiered, but it’s better than before.

@Nerdism imo the ones before the modern look were the best.

@𝖅𝖊𝖆𝖕𝖘𝖎𝖓 Honestly the newest episodes are actually pretty good as far as story and humor goes. Certainly not amazing, but definitely better than 10 years ago.

@Nerdism ok the rest are good but family guy? Come on bro.. it was good but sure as hell isn't now

@CZsWorld Because they were animating it?

@Koon Toons Your comment might be the most ignorant comment i've ever seen.

Just wish we got those other 2 moral orel seasons. Honestly was one of the most impactful shows I've seen. Adult swim does seem to cut off their great shows early.

@Graf von Tirol was it ever uphill? It’s more like an abyss. Just staring into you. Waiting for you to make a move.

No wonder Venture Brothers got cancelled. Christ man, Adult Swim has really gone downhill.

Ummm... Eric Andre? Robot Chicken? Family Guy?

Venture Bros, One of, If Not THE best show from Adult Swim with a small and extremely loyal and devoted audience, Recently got cancelled and it was such a good fucking show. Hopefully HBOMax picks it up like how they did with Adventure Time,

We were truly robbed of closure with that one

The fact metalocalypse  was denied even a final season should have adult swim tried for war crimes against humanity.

This might be the most ignorant comment ive ever seen

@officialARMYclan It was in limbo when it was at peak popularity though.

What are you talking about they renewed it for like a hundred more episodes?


Season 4 legit starting going full blown gay, creepy gay at that.


It's.............. it's always been

      Family


That skit in the middle is the whole fandom in a nutshell. The bad ones of course.


Too bad that little worm Tim Heidecker got MDE: World Peace cancelled.


Seinfeld fans: older than me and probably white. Maybe 80% men. Mostly American.


look bro i just think the protag is hot ok thats it


I watched about 4 episodes. I spent more time counting how many times the old guy burped cause it was a cover for him knowing the guy he was taking to. Found out later that is exactly the reason.


use that fucking seinwave song 1 more time i dare u


qpart ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻


What is the song playing around 3 minute mark please?


Season one: Underrated
Season two: Attention it deserves
Season three: Overrated
Season four: Do they really care anymore?

@Chat-Mort My iq may just not be high enough

Yeah, that's how I would rate it. There were some good episodes in season 4, but they were a lot more bad ones that ruin the season for me.


Great examples of fandom toxicity but leave BTS outta this


Well, the central finite curve is over, so don't worry there exists no playground anymore. Welcome to the jungle pinga


Why are the Simpsons all green? Is it a copyright thing?


Liked, subscribed, turned on the bell, and donated my life savings because you played the funny pickle Rick clip


It is true that nothing has any real inherent meaning, but as humans, we require meaning for true fulfillment, thus we are liberated by the fact that there is no real meaning, because we can attribute meaning to anything.


And them season 5 it's absolutely terrible.God dammit this series is never going to return to the same quality of the first two seasons.


Damn I thought this was a trap-mix. A kendrick and rick and morty mashup.


The subreddit is an absolute heck hole. Literaly every other post there is left wing political stuff with the people thinking their political opinions are 500iq intelligence.

@The Boss Stage1 they also banned many communist subreddits too

@Crumbles I'm talking the sort of bashing that femonises all cops, and it shouldnt matter because those politics shouldnt be on a non political sub

@Clickbait37seeing how much police brutality has been going on during protests the police definitely deserve some bashing no matter your point on the political spectrum.

@Shitlord They wouldn't have gone if the leftists in charge didn't go all psycho with the banhammer.

I turned myself into a redditor, Morty!  I'm reddit Riiiiiiick!  <i>(Kill me now.)</i>

Edit: Thanks for the gold stranger.

went to check your claim and after scrolling through ~100 posts sorted by new i couldn't see anything like this. either you saw 2 posts like this and blew it so out of proportion it's a downright lie or your like baiting.

@TapOnX The show became as pretentious as the copypasta.

@aliensatemeout The main plot is OK and it's a generally a decent show overall, but so many of the newer episodes are basically power fantasies where Rick can do anything he wants, because he is so strong and awesome and smart and always knows what's going on and teaches everyone else a lesson. Plus, too many 4th wall breaks are annoying, a show needs to earn that.

All the right wingers have migrated to Ruqqus, a Reddit clone, which is basically just the opposite. It's a right-wing circlejerk.

UUURP IM PICKLE RICK UUURP NOTHING MATTERS UUURP BRAAAP IM PICKLE BRAAAAP UUURP BRAAP

@aliensatemeout first of all the donald trump reddit got locked or something so nobody got it as reccomended and dank memes on reddit arent dank to start with
Reddit just finds memes on some site like instagram or apps like discord and then claims them and later kills the stolen meme by overusing it to irrelevance
Oh yeah forgot to add that reddit has a plethora of witch hunts for anyone that has a different world view than the mob
Different perspectives are always removed by mods or downvoted to hell all while getting death threats and people trying to dox you
Lovely progressive place isnt it ?

@aliensatemeout that moment when you think dankmemes isn't left wing hellhole 😂

@aliensatemeout <br>Didn't the first group get banned?

@aliensatemeout
Didn't the first group get banned?

@Snufkin  the leftist hivemind of reddit, infamous for progressive spaces such as r/the_donald and r/dankmemes

@TapOnX bruh the last episode was literally about rick losing all the respect his family had for him, wtf are you on about lmao have you even watched the show?

r/177013 is pretty wholesome considering the sad story it's centred around.

Reddit is just a leftist circlejerk
There is no individuality on reddit
There is only the hive mind

Reddit is the home of some of the saddest individuals around.

What these people don't get is that Rick's character was meant to satirize the "tfw to inteligent genius who gets away with being an asshole cuz he's so smart" trope. Although after the last two seasons I am not sure if the writers of the show realize that either.

1st rule is never go to a subreddit of any fandom its all circlejerk

The fanbase is even atrocious when they at least know it.


I stoped watching after s3 and never returned...


Good kid m.A.A.d city reference hell yeaaaaah love you bro ❤


And now half of season 5 has aired and its looking to be the worst one yet with all the aforementioned issues being exacerbated.


I love the way you can put my feeling into words. This is pretty much what I think about R&M to this day. I miss the best seasons, but at the same time I don't think the new ones are hot garbage as many ppl like to say. I always thought something was off but never knew why or what. This sums up it all. Again, you always do an amazin job emp. Fucking legend.


Still love this show. Will continue to love it and looking forward to future seasons


very interesting video dude, very well reasoned and made me think of the show in a different light, appreciate it very much, thanks for the effort :)


this is a flawless analysis of Rick and Morty. Exceptionally well done, thanks!


i really hope they can bring it back, season 4 could be a great starting point if they do it right


Binged the entire show recently, and I loved all of it with a passion, even the newest seasons

I feel the best way to watch a show without getting disappointed as the seasons go on, is to binge watch it after the show ends


Season 3 was my favorite season for some of the reason's. For example I really enjoyed the scene with the therapist. I don't think It was as closed as you made it out to be in this video. Rick and Beth completely disregarded though. I do agree that as the show as gone on it does feel more aimless. I would love the evil Morty plot explored for example. Not just shown and then never brought up until the characters relevancy plummits . Just for my personal taste it's so cruel to tease a great character like evil morty and then give characters like Tammy way more screen time in the newest episodes.


You know, having watched this video some time after (the second half of) Season 4, as well as Harmond's and Roiland's commentary on Season 4, it seems S4 was a complete 180 from S3. This is, it completely isoleted itself from the fandom and the writers did what they wanted.


No, people aren't upset at the fact that they took away the mystique of Rick, people are upset that when they learned the truth about Rick, all of their delusions of the character were dispelled.

@Caercutta30

Ya know... It took me re-reading what I said to realize.... That you are in fact correct... 😂


Film Theory can still be good, it just messes up sometimes.


I think the third season is excellent, I am sort of surprised that you mentioned the show not being fundamentally about nihilism, and then later pointing out: sheesh it feels like the whole show is about nihilism all of a sudden in season 3! That’s the point I think! It’s not a show about Rick being vulnerable and having to fight fair. It doesn’t matter, in all of its premises and logic! It still has an emotional core, but it goes out of its way to say fuck you :-)


Wow you finally pinpointed why I lost interest in the show despite enjoying most of season 3. Rick became too OP and killed the tension of the show. Still haven't watched any of season 4.


Yeah my interest just dropped hard since episode one of session 3, by pickle Rick it reached me on meme form even before I saw the episode so it just felt like exactly what I expected from it.


"Cam a fandom, become so insufferable that they damage their show's reputation beyond repair?"<br>As a JJBA fan, yes they can.

"Cam a fandom, become so insufferable that they damage their show's reputation beyond repair?"
As a JJBA fan, yes they can.


Rick and Morty always struck me as a clever show that appealed to a lot of not so clever people


I think a big part of the backlash/benevolence towards the show came from the horrible treatment of Jerry in season 3.


this makes my head spin in wheels, trying to understand the concept of life from a show.


The sponsor part is very funny lmao. I love it


I think this show is best when it shows how much Ricks own misery can be primarily contributed by his own assholiness.


Never really felt that the quality dropped, I just caught on the fact that R&M knows it's got a limited run-time as any good show it's hard to experiment too far and alienate their viewers or stick to the same joke over and over until it's no longer funny. Never bought the merch or memed on it, just enjoyed and still enjoy the show


"Don't become a balding nihilist like Rick." Well damn... Rick Sanchez and BoJack Horseman have taught me how to be incredibly nihilistic lol


First 2 seasons were great
Season 3 felt too different but had funny moments
Season 4 was rough man...


I sometimes regret watching rick and morty due to its toxic fandom


I will say I don’t think Rick & Morty is completely ruined though. Granted I need to rewatch season 4 to come to any definitive conclusion but I do think the show is attempting to get back on track to its original goal


I love the connection to Good Kid m.A.A.d city, great video


My god, Futurama is my favorite show of all time. I started watching it when I was around 5 or so, so it’s super nostalgic to me.


To be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand emplemon

red bird, blue bird, yellow bird, green bird


Never got the hype, watched the series. Jesus it’s so ridiculous I love it lol


i think watching this when i was younger and idealising rick (even for a short while, before i realised i don't want to be anything like him) kindof messed me up a little


I didn’t realize people didn’t like the pickle Rick episode, it’s one of my favorites.


Great analysis dude,  sadly much of what you said in this video-essay can be applied to Black Mirror as well or even Game of Thrones.


If you can compare yourself to Rick and look up to him... get help.


Aye yo the film theory dissed has me crying 😂😂😂


I think people need to just watch it and enjoy it without putting it on a pedestal, cause thats just asking for disappointment


Adult Swim owes its entire existence to Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Show some damn respect!


How can you be mad about the action sequences “having no tension” when it’s a cartoon in which Rick is literally the main character, AND knowing they’ve been renewed for like 6 season’s worth of episodes

Theres just no point to them. I dont think the action is bad, just pointless.


I don’t really think the fandom that wants to explore the lore and make theory’s are necessary missing the point, but ok.


No wonder Fandoms are really that M.A.A.D. I should just stay away from them and either satirize, parody, or praise it and give the psychology, philosopy, and meaning in it.


the show makes people feel smart thats why


When you say I take the first two seasons and am happy with it you're an optimist <br>but when you say I hope the show gets back to what it was your just naive and gullible

That April Fools Joke didn’t really pay off for them eh?


9:49
I suddenly feel the urge to not wear gloves...


its funny how at 34:15 he says that he's glad he can find meaning in the show, when the show and creator are constantly saying "you shouldn't find meaning in things".


you know when he jumped bodies a bunch of times and said after transfering into the bug his full personality didn't go with him?


Hopefully the show does get better and better, too bad it will take 20 years to find out.


Feels like the best R&M episodes in s3-4 are the ones where Rick C-137 is the least involved in.


Bojack Horseman and Rick and Morty. Two once great shows plagued with the same virus.


Now THAT is what I call product placement


If there is one reason why I prefer Bojack Horseman a lot over Rick & Morty it's because it knows what it wants and it balances that well. Rick & Morty certainly knew what it wanted in the first two seasons but it still didn't always pull this off well in my opinion, partly the reason why Rick & Morty is so well known as that comedic sci-fi show instead of a drama and the third and fourth season feel like they only lean into that feeling more with the philosophical side slowly leaving the show completely to make place for bold, risky episodes and just plain entertainment. Bojack Horseman, on the other hand, has always been seen as while comedic, ultimatly a drama that adresses a limitless amount of problems in a satisfying way. Bojack really knows what it wants and only got better at pulling it off, while Rick & Morty knew what it wanted and only got worse at pulling it off. I still enjoy Rick & Morty a lot and what it does well, it does really well, but I miss that focus and the understanding of what it is that is present in something like Bojack Horseman.


When Rick faced his problems and got caught, that made me angry.
He suddenly feels love for the Beth and Summer from this universe but still abandoned his REAL daughter in the universe c-137 were everyone became kronenberg monsters.
Why doesn't he go back and rescue his real family.
geez he even made a clone of the new-universe instead. Why so much love for this family but not his own?


Empleon:the characters don't have a personality<br>S4:allow me to introduce myself

Empleon:the characters don't have a personality
S4:allow me to introduce myself


The entire first episode sets up morty learning and becoming smarter. Making that seem like what the show is going to be about only shit all over that in the last min. The last ep. Of season 2 makes rick seem like he cares only to then turn around and shit all over it in the premiere of season 3. The end of the pickle rick episode wasn't about you (the audience) rick shows so much disdain for therapy and therapists only to have her Imeadiately nail him 2 seconds after he's gone on a tirade about about how little she knows and how dumb he thinks she is, it seemed like her being able to nail him so fast was the real reason he doesn't want therapy..The episode where he gets beat up by a teenage girl sets up why he suddenly has invincibility suits later on.... i dunno i actually think this show is still great and im not one of those crazy fans. I think the reason season 3 was so anticlimactic is totally down to the staff not the writing, and i think maybe the talking cat episode is about videos like this. Overanalizing to the point where the fun is gone....


Did you really just spell accountability “account ability”?😂😂

they didnt spell it wrong tho. theres just a space between it then


I like to spin positive views on the nihilism. Like sure nothing matters in the end, but does that mean you shouldn't just roll over and get depressed. Make the best of your life, sure it won't matter and you're forgotten in a generation or two at most but you won't care cause you're dead then, it's not your problem. Have fun in your life and enjoy it.


Still enjoying it but I knew something was off in the last 2 seasons. I think I just thought "every show has weaker parts".


The show doesn't have dark humor or shock value anymore. It's just edgy


how to enjoy rick and morty: be the camera man


it’s funny, out of sheer coincidence i got burnout from the show halfway through season 3. i think i was like 13 at the time? but honestly i’m not really too beaten up about it looking back.


im pissed at the end of season 4, because his entire body was literally ripped apart and his innards were pouring out of him, BUT literally a second later hes completely fine, his body is back to normal, and i found this complete bullshit


At it's core, mario is about a dysfunctional family


What I got from this video is basically that Rick and Morty is like the Great Gatsby, but edgy and s c i e n c e


The boondocks has always been my favorite from adult swim


Ngl back in the 80s and 90s star trek wasn't a "niece subculture", the problem is that star trek explored its characters over a reset type show and its tech jargon. And thats why today people don't like the dated shows , and all new star trek is deadass. Rick and morty resonates perfectly with modern audiences,  as star trek with the optimistic 80s , in 20 years time rick and morty will seem dated and won't resonated with the same amount of new people . Ya see what I mean

That's not how you use "deadass",  it basically means "I'm not fucking with you"

So Star Trek and rick and morty are seasonal shows?


Not gonna lie, season 3 and season 4 part 1 rick legit became one punch man.


20:57 Yeah, but he DID beat the fuck outta Zeus.


2:16

Goddamn frylock been lookin like a psychopath.


i saw the dissolving of the general message of the show in season three as kind of a reminder that rick is human and to not idolize him. am i wrong for that? i see everybody bashing season three but i think i was an interesting sort of reset.


Rick and Morty is to family dramas what Regular Show is to work-coms/post-college dramas.


why are fandoms and furries almost synonymous? we need matt patt to get on this...


Alternative title: Lemon beats up small time YouTuber matpat.


Damn man you could be like a new morgan freeman


the first episode my boyfriend's parents watched was the dragon episode, I felt embarrassed and felt bad that they had to watch that just to see if it was good or not


the soundtrack had me thinking “where do i know this from??” ofc it’s from super mario odyssey 😂😂😂😂


Not evrything has a message, just enjoy it


In my opinion Rick and Morty never fell off


OK real talk that Gex comparison is spot on tho


You know who has a better fandom? The Venture Bros


One of my favorite thumbnails Ive ever seen on youtube


i can't tell if that was a real sponsor segment but i'm sold


I can't believe a show that garnered near unprecedented hype and attention (despite likely being thought of as "we love this but it might just do "ok") was changed in some fashion by the immense scrutiny and pressure from that attention! 😬😬😬

Who knows what plan these dudes had for the show. Maybe they only wrote 2 seasons, so they got new ppl on board to try and make new seasons?? I mostly stopped watching because I just don't watch tv, but if sn's 3 and 4 that I did see, it was very entertaining. They did seem to have a point of "don't fall for nihilism" in sessions 1 and and 2, but they got that across

"they changed!"

"I've always respected that they're willing to change....."


This is the only channel where I watch the sponsorship ads


When I heard "Main Theme" from Amynedd's album, 16-Bit Adventure @ 9:48 ; yeah that was epic.


The most absurd part about the high IQ comment is calling the humor subtle. One of the main reasons I disliked the show is that the humor is so extremely in your face, it completely lacks even the tiniest bit of subtlety. Like literally the humor in family guy is more subtle and I'm not even being hyperbolic. While watching Rick and Morty I always had the feeling they wanted to absolutely hammer the point home "THIS IS A JOKE!!!" at every possible turn, which is why I stopped watching after 3-4 episodes. The whole show feels super forced, which doesn't make it a bad show, but to me very unpleasant to watch.


You lost me in the second part. dislike. i kind of get your point but i see the show from an entirely different point( which is normal for a show like this however i still think you are wrong...

Ивета Тодорова


honestly man everything that you like about Rick and Morty is the exact opposite of what I like about it like I don't even know how to explain my opinions other than saying they're basically the exact opposite of yours


I liked pickle Rick but I didn’t like that they tried to add lore to a random character.


I like the inclusion of a We Are Happy Landfill instrumental


The rick and morty memes were shit and so were the joker memes. I originally thought that it were good pieces of media, but it was just too much of the same shit and they basically blew out all other memes. I was planning on watching them, but I didn't want to be part of any of that behavior.

Well maad seems to be an accurate description of what happened.


i think s3 had two good episodes the rest were ok at best but s4 part 2 was pretty good espiecially the acid one with the save button


No fucking way the keeps ad was true! XD


never drink your own Koolaid brothers and sisters


Rick and Morty tends to be more absurdist, rather than nihilist or anything else. We see rick, despite being unable to face his flaws, keep on living. He has had every opportunity to kill himself, but hasn't.

Ricks tale mirrors that of Sisyphus, a man who was forced by the Greek pantheon to push a boulder up a hill forever. When the bolder would get to the top, it would roll back down, every time. Rick's moments of excess show his desire for contentment, but are quickly followed by a steep mental decline.

The absurdist suggests that, despite the pain inherent in life, despite the misery that people cause each other, we should smile in the face of adversity and say, "fuck 'em". The absurdist suggests that we smile in the face of pain or death, simply as a means of spite, a universal last laugh. The absurdist says, "If I have to live, I'm going to do it my way".


Used to love it, but I'm in the "downhill" crowd now. They focused way too much on making Beth and Summer relevant or 'badass'.


"the meaning of life" being rearranged into "The fine game of nil" isn't pessemistic. Nil is defined as "nonexistent" and we are spiritual beings have a human experience, so we truly do not exist. We just think we do. We have lost our connection to Oneness.


I disagree I think season 4 is the best season so far


Vat of Acid Episode was fucking great you watch your mouth

symptoms of hair loss..wouldn't that just be losing hair?


Someone send a link of this video to Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland ASAP.


You sound like professor Stain from soul eater from the English dub...just a bit


But hey, that’s just a hypothesis. A cinema hypothesis, and...cut


12:31-12:33. Rick & Ted Kaczynski. Holy shit.


19:20 ngl i never noticed the numbers in the background, why is rick 4,6 lol


23:40 I know you shouldn't let stupid fans ruin something you like... but Jesus, man.


Didn't know the German word "zeitgeist" (3:44) is used in english now :o


They were sniffing their own farts too much.


1:33 LOL I remember Aquateen oh my god that shit was golden.


Love the use of kendricks good kiid maad city


love him using GeoWizards music at 9:50 ish


The media ITSELF is not the problem w fandoms. It is exclusively the problem w the fans. And sure, we could easily boil it all down to a lack of community in the modern age which forces ppl to find a community thru the things they consume....but if we want to change those things, individuals need to force change.

Tldr, stop letting "what shows you watch\store you shop at" be the thing which your personality is based on


nice obvious reference to film theory and other youtubers, i like it


9:58 woah it’s the GeoWizard music, yesss


The fan base an that's including  you by the sound of it (an like so many other great things) ruined this show... an by the way No one's a Rick an no one's a Jerry you are who u choose to become so stop labeling urself an limiting yourself with them


Was there ever a point at which the show DIDN'T make cultural references like??? The tight 5 at the comedy store, etc....


I was watching this video while playing Gran Turismo 4 and had to take a double take.


The radical sect of the fanbase made mocking or otherwise disliking Rick and Morty cool, and praising the show nigh illegal. It's a sad truth, because the show it self was funny as hell, especially with friends around. But hey, that's the internet.


U wanna ruin something, especially an on going show?

Make it mainstream


The cheapest thing about the Therapist is the creators wrote Rick, and wrote her "defeating" him by deconstructing his character.

I didn't see it that way.  Rick was always written to think that therapy is for stupid people so it was never going to "work" on him.  It showed how the children were influenced by the therapist, but not the nihilistic parents.


Who wrote the pickle rick episode? ...

Oh ...


Did anyone else notice geowizards song in there?


In season 3, Rick and Morty began hiring women writers...


I just realized the Kendrick Lamar reference in the title


Clicked on this for the amazing title ngl.


15:50 omg zero rick....i forgot about him


Ohh..."Lord of the rings" fans are chads...jesus...


enough green simpsons purple rick is the future


"To be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand Freddy Got Fingered..."

@Me Yes I love telling normies how great of a movie Freddy got Fingered is and then watching them sit in horror when I show it to them

genuinely, though<br>don't force normies to watch that particular movie, they hate it

genuinely, though
don't force normies to watch that particular movie, they hate it


The later seasons are directed AT the audience and they've already confirmed fan theories forced them to change the show. Rick and Morty was murdered by fandoms having a passion for the show they like. This is why we can't have nice things

Even GRRM doesn’t change the ending when people manage to guess it. That’s how you end up with GoT S8.

yeah it's unfortunate, but the writers and shit tried to read as little as possible and pay no attention to the theories to keep the show pure, but since the show has lots of commentary pop culture it put em in a tight spot. honestly, i loved all the episodes unconditionally.


anyone remember whenemp lemon made the ducktales parody


I love the refference to Kendrick's Good Kid m.A.A.d. City.

@Mookie Über Alles Agreed. TPaB is probably the best rap album of all time.


This show is like a modern Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. I don’t know how Jhonen feels about that.

@𝓕𝓾𝓬𝓴 𝓕𝓪𝓬𝓮 I see the connection, tbh. Overly violent nihilist takes on a strange and unsettling world with a normie, very scared sidekick. I think saying "modern JTHM" is a bit of a stretch, but the influence is possible.

Jhonen probably understands that art getting influences from other art is totally normal, and I think the differences are there that it isn't at all a copy.

Considering Justin Roiland voiced a few characters in Enter the Florbus, I imagine he doesn't mind

More like a modern Johnny the Homicidal maniac that’s more full of itself. At least Jhonen later reflected on how bad that aspect of Johnny was

You know, when I first read that comment I was inclined to disagree. But that's actually not too bad of a comparison. Other than the fact that Jhonen's stuff was pretty explicitly Goth/Scene, whereas Rick and Morty doesn't really fall into a particular subculture or anything. Which makes it come off as a bit less self-aware, imo.

he better not feel disappointment in invader zim, shit was my FAVORITE

Jhonen feels disappointment in everything he makes


What about Rick & Morty : Bushworld Adventures ?!


You’re micro analyzing. The show has progressed very fluidly in my eyes. Rick wasn’t taking accountability at the end of season 2. It was his plan to be taken and destroy the galactic government, they just killed his best friend. The show just isn’t for you if you dont like how the story is playing out.


Does anyone know the music from 0:55 to 2:40 ?


I stopped watching Rick and Morty like 2 years ago and this video seemed to make every point as to why, but I still think the worst episode is the one with the super hero’s, vindicators??


I'd wager it's more "science-fantasy" than "science-fiction"

"Science fantasy" is just a pejorative used by science fiction fans to denigrate sci-fi they don't like.  Even Isaac Asimov included non-scientific elements, "fantastic" if you will, and he's the godfather of hard sci-fi.<br>Remember the dragon episode?  Where Rick's science is explicitly contrasted against magic?  How about the fact that in the context of the show, all of Rick's inventions are based on Rick's scientific expertise?  Those inventions are technology Rick developed through access to scientific principles unknown to the rest of humanity.  Just because you don't understand the principles behind them, or the show made those principles up and didn't explain them well enough to you, doesn't mean the show isn't science fiction.

@No Name I also forgot that science fiction can do the "impossible" like what fantasy does. Think about it. Can you imagine that we live in a world where technology is advanced that no human beings can ever invented such things, and it's made by extra-terrestrial life forms, so humans have to adapt it as a part of our daily lives? Or what about the fact that crystal-clear skyscrapers and modern capsule buildings that takes years to finish, or even flying cars with complicated traffic rules? I think you're right that Rick and Morty have little rules of science but Futurama have more rules due to being based on the accuracy of real life science and mathematics. Rick used science, despite being a mad scientist, as an excuse to make to get rid of the pain.

@Mr. Friendship Yes, Rick and Morty has very little rules with its concept of science. Therefore, science fantasy.

@No Name As what the video stated, the multiverse is the representation of escapism from reality in which Rick always succumbs to. Fantasy is all about the concepts of magic where there's no rules and anything that is impossible is possible. Science fiction have rules which the subject is about what is the concept of life on Earth and the Universe.

@Mr. Friendship That's true but a lot of the science fiction displayed in Rick and Morty has no basis in reality. Usually Sci-Fi has that reasonable amount of realism to the concepts.

Science-fantasy is more of a subgenre than an actual genre.

Imagine a world where MDE World Peace wasnt cancelled. Adult Swim ruined everything

@Alex Amaya I disagree with you on the "funny" grounds but I will 100% agree that MDE required prior knowledge of the certain stereotypes and political incidents they were parodying and if you weren't in on the joke it was confusing as hell.

@Alex Amaya i don't think he's ever referenced anything to do with /pol/ in the thousands of videos he's made, with that evidence surely you could prove your statement? right bean?

Sam just couldn't get away with it that time.

@TVB nice lb reviews man cool to see you here

Sam Hyde has had so much influence on comedy, and has gotten so little in return. Smh.

don't forget dan harmon was the one spearheading world peace's cancellation, him along with heidecker are the reason it's gone, they themselves went to turner

They also cancelled Metalocalypse.<br>Greedy bastards.

They also cancelled Metalocalypse.
Greedy bastards.

also adult swim didn't cancel MDE it was Turner media


Hiring anyone based on their sex or race rather than their talent is going to cause problems. Did you miss star wars sequel? Setting aside characters and fans for politics is a bad idea. They deserve to fail.


I always hated the arguments that rick and morty is a bad show and doesn’t really have a substance and it’s just dumb fun. And I totally disagree everytime. Some people hate it just because it’s loved by many and you know how people are when it comes to things that are considered by them “overrated”. Some people give rick and morty WAY too much credit without even knowing why it deserves the credit, and others give it too little credit disregarding the reason why it deserves the credit. It’s not just done with rick and morty, but many other works of art in different mediums.


“Is it fair to judge Steven Universe by its fandom?”

<chadgamerYES.png>

@Christopher Stone
Or even slightly light skinned
Seriously an artist by the named of gashi gashi hot flack for not drawing garnet black enough

@Robin Banks oh I see you were being sarcastic now. Thanks for clearing that up

@kingdancekiller aka Dingus McBingus It's shockingly lazy, they don't care about their own show so much to the point where they can't even be bothered to draw decent character sketches.

The only thing they (allegedly) do themselves is writing, and they even manage to fuck that up by (among other things) unintentionally defending rape through inconsistent metaphors.

@Robin Banks And that’s not lazy compared to hiring artists at a living wage who have professional standards? Seems like that’s lazy.

@kingdancekiller aka Dingus McBingus It's not even lazily animated, the animation gets outsourced to some korean sweatshop without proper directions, so the scale and appearance changes on an episodal basis.

@kingdancekiller aka Dingus McBingus <br>Explain with details

@kingdancekiller aka Dingus McBingus The show had very good music, and quite a few interesting concepts i do agree it could be quite bad at times but i personally liked it.

Steven Universe is a really good show I don’t see the problem.

JoJo Banks
You’re right. But SU is a lazily animated show with tons of mistakes, and if you took all the great episodes, you wouldn’t even have enough for half of one season.

The filler is worse than some early 00’s anime

No. A shitty fandom doesn't represent a show's quality.

The fact i can’t look up gemstones and minerals without first seeing crappy fan “gemsonas” should have the fandom sent to gulags.

@LTB <br>C'mon, SU was pretty good until S4

@Christopher Stone the worst part is that that is literally not even a joke

That's a case where the show is just as cringeworthy as the fandom, so...

Honestly, I enjoy the show. However, judging by this video and the reactions in the comments, I'm glad I have never engaged with their fandom or even been exposed to it at all. Seems dangerous.

Where if you draw a character slightly thinner you get death threats


i like the music in background  in the intro


I came here for Gran Turismo lobby music.

“Adult Swim had always existed as a playground of artistic expression and creative experimentation” Tell that to Sam Hyde


I completely disagree with the pickle rick therapy session analysis. At this point they had already completed 2 whole seasons and every fan worth keeping knew damn well what the show was really about and having the therapy session spell it directly out to everyone was, in my opinion, hilarious metacomedy. As for how Rick became OP I completely agree, but I think the family conflict became the focus of the show and I think that was done very well. Them regressing was the entire point of season three and if anything it felt natural. The individual gripes you have in season 3 ill agree with, but holistically I don't agree

At that point power creep seeped in and Rick was no longer a flawed genius loner. He was the smartest man in the universe. That's not a regression of Rick's character, it's flanderization which is always bad for a show no matter what.
And with all that said, how does a random tertiary character get away with dressing down Rick's character and not getting any sort of payback for doing so? Rick was basically untouchable for every moment in the season except for that one.
Spelling something out for the audience is bad writing. What is it, the joke is that we've all come to this conclusion? Clearly not as a huge swath of Rick and Morty fans don't see Rick as an anti hero that we are not supposed to idolize. A lot of people went on to consider themselves a Rick in their own lives so no.
The general audience was not interested in seeing their god figure torn down by a rando.
You can still find that scene funny but the humor comes from the show completely breaking itself just because.


i've been a snobby, pretentious pseudo-intellectual for a lot longer than rick and morty have been around


i watch it till was popular,disgissting"rick"


Insightful analysis on the show's rise and downturn. I have a high IQ, so I got it.

@mike james The Simpsons got a deal for endless seasons here. Does that mean it's not on a downturn?

I honestly don't think it's on a downturn. I mean he completely ignored the fact that there are gonna be 70+ new episode at a quicker pace given the adult swim deal. I have full confidence in Justin roiland and Harmon. Community was one of my favorite shows and it survived with low ratings while still being brilliant


I cant believe Emp was actually sponsored by a hair loss treatment product.

I legit thought that was just a joke the entire time, especially cause he misspelled the link at the end too.


Why the simpsons characters are all green? Is this an algorithm thing? Like to dodge youtube strikes?


Both "Sci-fi Comedy" and "Family Drama" sound like one of the worst genres out there

Galaxy Quest is one of the best movies ever. Watch it.

You would assume that to be true except it seems to entertaining when done well

why do we need family drama when you can just sit at the table with your relatives ha ha amrite fellas?? ha ha...
