"What happens when the fandom influences the show?" You get an annoying trench-coat clad angel, who completely outlived his purpose for the show by the end of the season he appeared in, but keeps being thrown at the show again and again, even though the showrunners have ran out of ideas of how to fit his in the show and now simply keep sticking him as a redundant plot tool, like a toddler trying to stitch a square form into a round hole, and when they finally say enough, and get rid of him, his crazy fans make so much noise on SM, that the showrunners capitulate and bring him back, which deteriorates the show to such an extent that it's no longer watchable, and most of the fandom that doesn't like the character or "ships" him with one of the main characters , simply stops watching. By the time the showrunners figure out that the character isn't as popular as they thought, and that vocal mob of fans on twitter with their dozens of sock accounts, makes only 10% of the show's fandom, it's already too late, so they're forced to keep him, since taking him hout atp would not only hurt their ratings, but could end up in them being accused of homophobia, because get this: his fans are only his fans because they "ship" him with one of the main characters, so basically they're actually fans of the make-believe relationship, and they keep pressing the creators to make them a couple, despite the main character being straight, so to keep the mom semi-content,  the writers are forced to throw them bones in the form of fanservice which causes the main character behave in a OOC manner and further ruining the show. Basically, those fools ruined a good show for the sake of a small minority of gay-fitishizing weirdos, who aren't even fans of the show since they themselves admit that they only watch it for the "ship" and the angel character, which is why most of them didn't even watch the first few seasons before he made his first appearance.

Btw, the show's called Supernatural, it's a guilty pleasure of mine that I'm ashamed to admit of liking because of how corny it is, and because of the destiel (non existent ship between the angel and a main character) fandom, which everyone outside of the fandom associates any fan of the show with, due to how loud they are.

@Harold Balzac Exactly how I see it. Maaaybe season 6 for fans who couldn't get enough of the show, but season 7 and onward is like a crappy fanfiction of the original 5 seasons.

I  love Castiel, and I think the issue was not him being pointless but he was used as a punchline rather than the powerful angel he once was because it makes the fans that are most active happy, but thats just my opinion on the issue. Also, i hate when people skip into season 4 because they don't want to watch without Castiel, I don't get it!

Yeah, I hate to admit that l liked Supernatural too. Should have ended after the 5th season though.


I didn't realize it was the add for so long


@marko 2001 as a jojo fan i went through a annoying jjba phase, but i still dont want to think that i made fun of people for not watching it or not knowing it, i made fun of people who said it was good or bad without watching the show

@A quite tired guy yup. I enjoy JJBA, but ever since part 3 or part 4 Got anime adaptation, normies (Like me) decided to make memes out of it. Memes allowed fedora type of normies to make fun out of People who don't know it and type unfunny jokes.

Take the SOA fandom out and your right, even though the show is trash and very much a beginner anime which is probally why its so not toxic or maybe i just dont know anything about the soa fandom idk


Season 5 so far has really delivered in episodes.<br>so far, it includes multiple lore related episodes that are absolute bangers

Manic Anti-hero Attachment Disorder, I'll have to remember that one. You can tell a lot about a person by what kinds of people they admire and why.

@James F You are probably right about the glorification of sociopaths, even if it may not necessarily be intentional. Some of these characters DO have admirable personality traits apart from the bad ones though and that's what it is.

Not necessarily. I can't help but admire Revy from Black Lagoon even though I certainly don't want to be a murdering bitch. Sometimes, an anti-hero or even just a downright villain can be attractive because they still have traits that we deeply desire for ourselves. In this, or should I say, my case, Revy oozes both confidence, independence, and power. Nothing fazes her. Not even some Terminator girl. She doesn't play any bullshit games and she doesn't have anyone else do her dirty work for her. She's like a demoness, emphasizing awful traits, yes, but also traits that I both deeply and selfishly want.

Thought it was "My angels on angel dust".


rick and morty was like that cloud girlthat was dating mordecai


You were a kid in high school in 2013….*sigh* …way to make me feel old bro.


I’ve never watched this show, but I do respect all of the fleshy abominations it’s got. I’m always a sucker for those.


although its a bit more of a mess, i like the disenchantment series on netflix better than rick and morty. It was made by the same person who made futurama and the simpsons, and is quite good.


season 5 first few episodes are good but it is going down fast


makin lil jabs at film theory, i like that


Please no more criticism.. I still want more R&M 😩 .


I thought Pickle Rick was a brilliant episode, unfortunately everyone else thought so too and it became an annoying meme

Blake yeah, I agree. It was the only decent part of the episode, really.

Well, to be fair, you do have to have a very high IQ...

I actually really liked the therapist scene. It was satisfying because it’s exactly what I had wanted to yell at the people blindly idolizing Rick like they do Tyler durden or bojack horseman

Aye, it was funny, what more do people want


Why can’t people just watch the show and either enjoy it or not


If you want the true predecessor to what rick and morty is, it is hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.


Nice Kendrick Lamar reference good kid m.a.a.d city is my favorite album


I still like the show. But I can't really argue with a video as well-written as this one.


So basically game theory ruined the show lol


Really Futurama ‘One of the greatest episodic comedy of all time.’
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but bloody hell that’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. ‘One of the greatest episodic comedy of all time’ is a bloody big stance to take in the first place’ but pertaining to that fucking show is really one of the worst stands I’ve heard in such a long time.
Again, everyone is entitled to their opinion but mate, oeft.


I was the only one of my friends who didn’t smoke weed, and I was the only one that didn’t really like R&M. It seemed like Futurama for nihilist pot-heads to me 😂

I haven’t seen much of Rick and Morty.  But it does look like a trippier Futurama lol.


Worst part about Rick and Morty... literally half the ppl I talk to about the show don't understand half of the references or where the original idea comes from... they just talk meseeks and pickles... sucks

19:00 this exact reason it what makes old star wars so likeable. They always seem vulnerable and just barely make it out alive with witty thinking. When the vulnerability and wit disappear... you have the new Star wars movies that mostly suck.. lol


23:30 to 31:33 Don't mind me, needing a personal timestamp

Also RWBY, ESPECIALLY post vol 3 or 4.


I thought that mid commercial plug was like an analysis of some youtuber hype spinning some product in a weird tangent.  Well I guess it still was but it was meant to be ironic?<br>Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

You know an adult swim show that’s REALLY good? Metalocalypse. Sucks it got cancelled, but hey, at least it was still good before it got cancelled

Same could be said about the Venture Bros. Although thankfully, there's still hope. There's apparently been talks of getting the show continued on HBO.

another great adult swim show is also venture bros which recently and sadly  got canned while working on its 18th season :/

It didn’t help that It left with one hell of a cliffhanger.

Metalocalypse was too good for this world

I'm still holding out hope that they finally get to conclude the show. so many cliffhangers


I come here for knowledge and of course the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack.


this is a bit to long i watched the first 5 minutes and it felt like a while and turns out that was just the intro


I’m pretty sure McDonald’s employees start getting violent Vietnam flashbacks anytime somebody mentions Szechuan sauce

Nah. That incident made 75% of the workforce turn over


Well this didnt age well. New episodes just came out, and I'm confident it's going to go straight back to the top. Once they get a consistent schedule down, it will be the best show on tv again... o and the vat of acid episode is the best of the entire series and that was at the end of the last season soo...


This is an excellent summation of the show. I adore both Futurama and R&M but rewatching them both recently I realized personally why Futurama will always be goat. It's bc in the end it's an optimistic show about the relationships we have and build.

The show is hilarious and brilliant often but it's the emotionally resonent moments (e.g Jurassic Bark, The Late Phillip J Fry, Meanwhile, etc) that I always remember most. And since it's more grounded it feels more relatable. R&M sometimes comes across as a bit juvenile in its angst and philosophies. It can also be brilliant in its comedy but I never found it's ideology anything but meh.

They both use Sci fi to point out the absurdity of existence and relationships, but while R&M is the fedora wearing college kid mad at you caring about things, Futurama is the goofy dad who ultimately wants everyone to have a good time and be happy with his family.

And like you touched upon how R&M lost a lot of the characterization that worked in the first 2 seasons, the Futurama crew not only kept what made the characters great throughout the entire run, but had a lot of heartfelt and we'll deserved character progression. I don't think any series had a finale as perfectly built up to like it did that way.

For as stupid and goofy Futurama can be it feels way more like an adult show than R&M is and as an adult myself I just find it way more endearing while cracking me up, while I mostly watch R&M for the laughs.


Micro dosing Rick and morty clips for mental aquity


Hearing that music Rebel Taxi always used gave me whiplash


What is the music playing around 21 min in? It sounds so familiar!


Am I the only one who has never seen Rick & Morty? Or has had zero desire ever to see Rick & Morty? Or has always thought “fuck Rick & Morty”, despite never seeing even a single scene of it, because years ago within a 6-12 month time span every stoner and friend with a sense of humor/taste in entertainment you do not trust whatsoever felt the need to ask you “dude!.. have you seen Rick & Morty!?..you haven’t seen Rick & Morty!?. you gotta see Rick & Morty!.. funniest fucking show ever made!.. seriously, you gotta see Rick & Morty!”..
I REPEAT NOW MORE THAN EVER: FUCK RICK & MORTY!

Whenever Emplemon uploads, you've just gotta set aside some time and kick back for a bit. Each one is like its own passion project, and it's worth every minute.


I loved pickle rick because all the m.a.a.d. fans lost their shit


If we're being honest here, Community is Dan Harmon's better show

@MrDrunkUK Don't get me wrong, I liked season 4, but it was just forgettable to me. Not to mention I wasn't even aware there was a season 6, this whole time I thought 5 was the one Yahoo did haha. But yeah, I agree that seasons 1-3 were the prime of that show

If I remember, he was super aggressive with the staff and it was part of the reason they let him go for Season 4. I never really credit all his good shows to just him, since you gotta remember the Russo bro’s were writers for Community to, but Season 4 showed how much impact Harmon had

@MasterOfKnowledge I mean, in a vacuum yeah, but considering the background to seasons 5 and 6 I can't fault them too much, but yeah, seasons 1-3 are the shit

MasterOfKnowledge Someone else directed season 4

The shows are shockingly similar at their cores: Centered around an egotistical protagonist with a God-complex and showing the danger of said mindset. And a dysfunctional family. Difference is Community’s messages are a lot more direct and straightforward. And I think the show is stronger as a result. I mean, the show is also way funnier and handles meta jokes with aplomb whiles R&M pees the bed every time it tries to tell a meta joke.

MasterOfKnowledge Ehh 5 & 6 were good too


Thanks for the Kendrick Lamar reference on the title


heeeyyyy, I'm here from the future, yeah rick and morty season 5 isn't that good


What do you mean the greatest comedy show has finished?

Venture bros isn't done yet

@Temmie Plays! Doc and Monarch's relationship is greatly fleshed out

The Boys lives drastically change in the end of the season

The Guild and OSI is more fleshed out

@UnchartedKnight01 stopped a decade ago.

@Temmie Plays! have you watched the newest season?

venture bros was done as soon as they moved to  new york. my god they ruined everything


Rick and Morty jumped the shark after they were forced to "diversify" the writers room.


I think season 5 is the worst yet just mindless adventures and yes the first episode was different from the others but it went down hill really bad from there I hope the last episode is gone be different from what we have seen now


EmpLemon owns a pickle Rick costume.

Add that to the lore.

<b>WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!</b>

He has definitely used it before in other videos...


im listening to some random person on the internet talk about rick and morty<br>incredible

Star Wars does not tell the story of a dysfunctional family that is a huge reach.


Stuff does matter and that's scary because that means stuff can hurt you, so rick runs from it instead of trying to confront his problems! <br>Go to therapy you raggedy old man!

Go to therapy you raggedy old man!


its unbelievable how its been 8 years ever since the first episode aired and they have only made 4 10episode seasons like wtf

@Gregory Gorgus  damn chill out Gregory 🤣🤣

yeah and it's frustrating cuz my friends don't see anything wrong with that!  i think it's mainly the huge pressure of the show's popularity on the creators. plus Dan Harmon has a lot of personal problems as a human being

@Mcb Eh, half and half makes a whole, all things in equilibrium and all that, but to me the first 2 seasons carry most of the quality out of the entirety of the show, but I have to say the first 2 episodes of Season 5 had me feeling nostalgic r&m quality vibes.

@Maria Kagkari I agree but quality over quantity

@Mcb obviously but still that thing is getting annoying they better give us the full s5 at june not half

Well at least we got mostly good episodes


oh man  ''those sunday nights knowing id have to drag myself back to school in the morning'' omg lmao this video makes so much more sense now. is this your first time experiencing nostalgia? this whole video is exactly like those 30 year olds who say shit like ''every pokemon game after red blue & yellow is shit, all the pokemon designs are weird and ugly now'' just because the old version is what they new growing up. cmon dude, season 3 and season 4 were great seasons. ricklantis mixup won an award even


With no knowledge or interest on the subject topic, my main observation is that he used GeoWizard’s original music at the 10 minute mark


tells you what you need to know about the emmys : they aren't worth jack shit


This show was peak "I f*cking love science" material. I think most people nowadays have pretty much had it with the Bill Nyes and the Neil Tysons. All that stuff just comes off as pretensious and played out.

I think Neil Tyson is just pretentious af

@C.J. Zimmerman Inheritability and the Theory of Evolution have nothing to do with intelligence.

- social "scientists"

Personally, I blame The Big Bang theory for spreading the "lol I'm so nerdy" normie culture.

Especially when you have a genuine interest in science and technology, that shit just... christ.

@D Gam I mean, even Bill Nye and Neil Tyson hate science when it's inconvenient science to their politics.

Generally speaking, people tend to stop “f*ckinh loving” science when science produces results that directly challenge their deeply-held personal beliefs. (Side note: No matter what your deeply-held beliefs are, eventually, science WILL directly challenge some of them.)


So, you have to listen to the psychologist's opinion as the truth in order to agree with your opinion piece. Fascinating. The Episode that won awards is the "Bad one".


rick and morty more like rick and the sus impostor


Honorable mention to Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City", which has now spent a staggering 358 weeks on the Billboard 200, Eclipsing  "The Eminem Show"'s 357

you seem so and wise and respectable while dissing a wildly popular song from 1973.  Are you fun at parties?

Both are just so popular because of middle school kids

@datonehaha they’re both fucking 11/10, I go back and forth on which we one I love more constantly

@Matchington 1 that’s cumulative, the longest streak they had was 736. 1973-1988.

@datonehaha no but I'll agree to disagree

@Nic Halabicky 957 actually. And still going.

Great album for sure, still hasn't beat my favorite though. Dark side of the moon at 741 I believe just off the top of my head. And I'm actually really impressed with myself that I still remember that after all these years

Bruh eclipse more like
Not eclipsed
A less intense metaphor


NICE Geowizard music. Big straight line mission fan.


They should just go on adventures and knock off the Aesops and slice of life/family dynamic. The show got weaker when family drama was applied.


The Rick and Morty fandom are just weebs but for Rick and Morty


People hate Rick and morty?<br>Edit: whaaa people thought quality went downhill in season 3, man I must not have a high expectation or be that big of a fan then

Fun fact a tf2 show was going to be on adult swim and they got pretty far but it got cancelled due to not many sfm animators.

Edit another fun fact valve actually had a tf2 ad once on adult swim and added in cosmetics insipered from shows from adult swim

@FreeToPlay Scout Yea, did notice that soldier near the end of experation date sounded alot like Blutarch/ Redmond mann. It's sad that he's gone, especially since i love soldier so much." Ihave done nothing but teleport bread for three days". The voice actor of soldier in team neighborhood is also very good in terms of replicating the soldier voice

@TiiX Well they wouldn't be able to have Soldier in a speaking role, unless they either have a bunch of unused audio, or like pitch-bend a good impersonator or something.  They'd probably just cram Nolan North in there completely unedited like they did in Expiration Date.  15.ai can actually pass itself off as Soldier, but only with very specific phrases and would probably take significant editing to meet production standards.  Team Neighborhood is fantastic btw.

Team neighborhood is the closest thing to a TF2 show we got so far. Unless valve decides to pick it up again. Problem is that some of thevoice actors have aged to a point where they sound off or completely different. Scout still sounds like Scout, but with a deeper voice, for example.

I want to see the timeline where that happened

@comradecommissar1945 Yes, Adult Swim seemed to show fondness for TF2 in the early 2010s.  There is a skit from Robot Chicken that involves Medic, and a scene of the Venture Bros where Rusty is playing TF2.  Adult swim advertised TF2 on their blog and ran a commercial for the Venture Bros made by Valve using TF2 characters.  There are also a bunch of old promo items in the game from various Adult Swim shows like Robot Chicken, Venture Bros, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and Metalocalypse.  There's several videos on this topic, but VNN has a quick rundown of the timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIjjVrstGd8.  Here's some unused textures from the original pilot: https://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/27zgzr/bread_update_textures_leak/.  I suppose rushed production could also explain why they couldn't get Grant Goodeve to voice the Engineer and had Nolan North do it instead.

@FreeToPlay Scout You mean to tell me that there was going to be a tf2 show and the pilot was fucking expiration date? What a complete waste of potential.

It was cancelled due to Valve being Valve.  They were too obsessed with perfection and could not keep up with the minimal episode demands, or get the pilot to fit within the 11 minute run time.  So, they just released the pilot in 2014 as Expiration Date and decided to make it into an update.

Damn it, i would've loved to see more Rick May...


you say its a good show yet you spend the video saying its bad

just give up on the pipedream


We just not gonna talk about season 4 and Rick struggling to be there for his daughter? And Jerry trying to stick up for himself and grow a spine? They went back to their roots of dysfunctional family. We’re not supposed to think about it too hard I anyway I guess.


Who’s here in 2022 thinking that they totally blew Season 5 too?


Man I hoped Rick and Morty didn't become a money machine <br>Maybe season 5 is better ? idk

Man I hoped Rick and Morty didn't become a money machine
Maybe season 5 is better ? idk


This show shaped my nihilism and cynicism but also my persistent undercurrent of hope and fun. Also the portals.


MAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THE SONG IN THE OPENING OF THE VIDEO


Lmao Rick and morty came out on my birthday


the majority of the comment section is a breath of fresh air for the rick morty fandom, especially after going on reddit


It's funny how when Emp posited his rhetorical question about why people like the show, I immediately was like characters, and then was like, "yeah that's also good, ooh I do like the improv," and just kinda had to wait for him to agree with me.


Sorry but I'm one of the people that has never seen the series and only learned of it through memes, and I refuse to watch a dumb comedy that is heralded as the highest IQ show there is. I mean, I love dumb comedy but not when a large group of frequently stoned individuals are trying to force it down everyone's throats


I loved the pickle rick episode lol i thought it was brilliant


I remember my dad telling me about rick and morty and we watched the first two seasons laughing. Couple months later season 3 was announced, so me and my dad would watch each episode as they came out. Such a peaceful time


I always see Rick as Cyrus from Pokemon.


Personally I think that if you ignore the fan base every season is very enjoyable and well written

@L. Wolf their was a interview where dan said season 5 will have a lot of lore stuff so maybe it'll be better then season 4 but i guess we'll just have to wait and see

@cameron anderson If season 5 trends out like Season 4 they might have good ideas, just not good ways to close them out by the end of the season.

@L. Wolf (my opinion)season 4 was good but mostly the back half and season 5 is good so far except ep 4 which was kinda dumb

@Highlander Hmm, I might give em a watch through at least through 4.

@L. Wolf 4 is alright but after watching episode 4 of season 5 no

I watched Rick & Morty up to I think the end of Season 3, but they didn't have season 4 out. I have been putting off Season 4 and 5, I could probably go back to watching it, I'm just not sure. Are Seasons 4 and 5 worth it?


I am sad that you did not mention overused, unnecessary, unfunny sexual jokes going around


Was in middle school when Rick abd Morty premiered and my peers were annoying AF about it even though I loved the show.

Tyler Hackner I was a sophomore in high school when it premiered.

Josh Leitzel 2013 was a long time ago bro

To be fair middleschoolers are a nuisance as a rule


Here's kind of a metaphor of what I'm Rick and Morty used to be grease and sugar you know stoner comedies everyone liked it it taste good now it's more like sugar and Jello I don't know why it's kind of bland or just sugar and more sugar that's basically I can how you put it


Could be worse, the Rick and Morty fanbase could wage Nerd Jihad on each other whenever a new season comes out. Which is what Star Wars fans do whenever a new movie is made.


The sponsorship part shows your ytp background


I’m a fan of Rick and Morty. I think it’s funny sometimes. Do I consider myself a part of the fandom? No. I’ve never purchased/said/done anything in the show. I like the show though.

@jeb bryant i think while i was there i saw a LOT of crackshops and stuff and they had so many random-ass things, like i think i saw a goddamn minion bong or something like that

@tabasko ah all good got confused with the ping. Also yeah the fact that they went so hard with merch that you could get crack pipes is amazing. I think I should confirm I don’t smoke crack I just thought it’d be the funniest thing to own

@jeb bryant i meant nicdood, the guy who posted the original comment

i know him, he's a cool guy

@tabasko what do you mean last person you’d expect here

@jeb bryant i remember seeing stuff like that when i was in Maine back in 2019, funny how rick and morty has gone to a point where crackpipes of it exist

I bought a rick crack pipe but that’s just for the meme of me being able to say I have a high iq I own a rick and morty crackpipe

I mean i get merchandise of my favorite shows and movies once in a while but it doesn't mean im a part of any fandom

I dont usually associate myself with other people in the fandoms of the the things i like i dont consider myself to be one of them and if i do interact its only with a small group of people but other than that i ignore them

To me a fandom is just a community of people who share the same interests with one another
And for me i dont consider myself to be apart of their community


@Emplemon do a video on space ghost coast to coast and/or Harvey Birdman:Attorney at law


Consume Morty! <b>Advertisment break</b>


Your film theory impression was so on point I nearly threw my phone at a wall from pure annoyance


I didn’t watch it at first cause I was mad season 3 premier was over the new Samurai Jack episode


I don't normally say this, but i'd honestly be fine if they pulled some lazy "it was all a dream" bullshit to basically retcon everything after season 2, and get a fresh start from there so they can do things right


I have this slight hint you may abhor MatPat and his YT videos that reach.. a lot.


i like it still it gets more intresting charchter wize, season one type shananigans cant be good forever. just look at sponchbob


"Good show with a bad fandom".  Just be thankful they haven't completely ruined the show, like they have with Doctor Who.

Chris Chibnall is the biggest problem the show is currently facing, look back on his episodes in the past, all stinkers. But the BBC still made him showrunner!<br>The timeless child arc has pissed on 50+ years of world-building and lore, all for the sake of SubVeRTing EXpecTAtionS. He just HAD to leave a permanent mark somehow, for posterities sake; because he certainly wasn't going to be remembered for the QUALITY of his ideas...

I fear that the shittification of Rick and Morty has already began

Doctor Who ruined itself. Besides, it was never that good. David Tennant and Matt Smith were amazing and there were some amazing episodes, but also some terrible ones, even in their era. But it was usually incredibly cheesy and far from deserving of being considered "sci-fi". More like "mildly science themed fiction". It's mainstream British television and nothing more at the end of the day. <br>It certainly has its moments. Like, really, really good moments. But most of it is crap.

@Mcheetah Star Trek is long dead. Discovery and Picard were dancing a corpse while flashing strobe lights

If you think they shit on Doctor Who, just look at ALL of Star Trek. "Lower Decks" is such a steamimg pile of shit, even Netflix passed on ot. The service that gives Amy Schumer and Mindy Kaling comedy specials thought Star Trek Lower Decks was too shitty to sign up on... During a pandemic and Hollywood lockdown. Doctor Who isn't even grazing the tip of the iceberg in how badly they ruined the Star Trek franchise.


It’s funny cuz season 5 is all about family drama and it’s not as good as season 1 & 2 or 3 or 4 lol


Anyone else Here after watching season 5 episode 1?

A Kendrick Lamar reference in a Rick and Morty video is something that I would never expected from someone who used to make YTP videos.


so rick and morty is a sci-fi . comedy . family drama


Alternative title:

There will Never Ever be another Family Drama like Rick and Morty


Season 5 has killed any hope I had for the show


3:45 you guys say "zeitgeist" in english? sounds super weird


I certainly did not expect GeoWizard music here


u say that adult swim never aired somethin like rick before but superjail was kinda zanny n wacky. less coherent but even the anatomy of the characterts n their noodle bodies n the violence levels were similar. i thionk rick morty was very fitting fitted tyo release on AS not to a surprise for me personally idk


I love the jabs at Film Theory, literally I wouldn’t be surprised if Matpat would one day do a video that says that Edd from Ed,Edd n Eddy has aspergers and is actually from Saturn and that somehow represents the human condition and ideology


I like your videos but can you stop hating on film theory


A religion is not responsible for its followers

-that one smart azz


I'm the physical manifestation of Society Morty, I'm Joker Rick


Am I the only person who got attracted by the title itself being a GKMC reference

@BattleReviews  it’ll always be amazing it’s kendrick 🗣

True, but hey once it comes out, it'll be amazing, most likely.

@BattleReviews yea i jus hope when he says final TDE he means only with that label. still hyped tho, been too long.

Well I've heard about the fact that he's gonna release his final TDE album, I hope it won't be his last album ever, but I'm pretty excited about the album itself. It's coming, and I'm hyped up for it.

no. whole reason i clicked the video too. you hear about kendricks new project being announced today??


Then it went woke like the rest, and now i cant stand it.


You can like it, but objectively it wasn’t good.


"It's about family and that's what's so powerful about it."

@Sailor literally the point of this video was that the family dynamic of rick and morty actually was more important than people realized. If you watch season 1 and 2 and all you take away from it is "Nihilistic science comedy", your sort of missing a vital aspect of the show.

That’s a yikes dude, it’s not about family, family is too base level for this show


Season 5 just released post popularity and its the best season since 2


Make gay rick an alternate, bring back straight rick, get rid of the woe-man, and the fans will come back.


11:45 like the vid but that’s patently false. “Caring” for others is a wildly beneficial evolutionary trait that’s many species developed and display to this day. Humans have greater capacity for emotion and deep though, so it is more apparent and well, “deeper” but caring and supporting members of our “blood” or tribe, and species, working together etc. is what allows for the broad advancement and overall survival of the human race. If every single person was selfish and worked to undermine others for their own benefit, we wouldn’t have even made it past discovering fire. Why does the mother bird naturally collect food to bring to her children? Why do wolves hunt in packs? I understand what you are trying to say in the context of that clip, but it’s still pretty off base imo. Again though, great video! Definitely earned a sub


Can we just talk about how much of a banger the [as] theme is?


why does this guy hate film theory so much??!? matpat did nothing to you man, lol


mom entered the room right as the vid showed furry costumes


6:23 its about time travel , see Rick is morty , and morty is rick
I thought this from the 1st episode ,
I went back and watch Back tot futer , to see , Marty , has his mom hit on him, and he has to Get his dad to take His mom off his hands , go watch the movie , his mom totally wanted him ,., now I don't think u could do this , with a "dad" , but grandfather , Abosiutle more do able , ( I call it the Grandfather paradox )  , I think Justin Roiland saw this and said . what if Marty was his own father , no that don't make sense , but what if he was his own grandfather , yea , I can see that .. and made ashwo , and they don't / wont do any time travel , cuz I think they are saving this time travel as , this , Marty goes back , and falls in love with his grandma !! ( eww , I know ,. ) but if u watch the movie , the she is based off the movie , and there are clues int eh 1st episode that support this .12:00 Rick don't care about morty , cuz Rick doesn't care about himself , So him saying he doesn't care about morty , is him saying he doesn't care about himself .


Yea I stoped watching rick n morty the fans were to cringe. Fun show


Never watched the show but damn this documentary is amazing

@S V yeah I was getting a pretty biased vibe off it. Same with like hungrybox and some of his other video documentaries. He states his opinions as facts

its not very correct, dont believe the things he says

You should give it a try its a pretty good show.

@mike james The show can still be entertaining, but if it isnt following what made it GOOD. Then there's something wrong that'll occur.

Honestly I loved season 3. Ive never been a part of the fandom proper but I've always loved the show. I think he's a bit dramatic about shit. If you ignore outside influences the show itself is always entertaining. I'd suggest checking the show for yourself. Super easy to binge but it's not for everyone


Smartt was ad u got my props thooo frr mann.!!!


Thought this was a Rick and morty ,Kendrick Lamar video :(


Why can’t it be 9:00?!?! I wanna watch Cartoon Network!!!!!!!


Damn, this day just got a whole lot better!

Ni p

That's weird, I was trying to say nice pfp but it's like the letters in the middle got skipped

@Call me Charlie Fat rip. The ond good spot on plebbit.


Cucumber drenched in vinegar caused the hate


ah, opinions. Watching a +10y younger dude talk about meaning and state of rick and morty. Just suprice me rick and morty and its fine.


them season 5 shows him as a very meh power level


It’s a good show but you SJW’s are messing my crap up mostly. 🧐

If you hate me Because I have Irritance/distain of Fandom GOOD I rather be hated for what I am then Something I’m not. <br>bit of paraphrasing from CM Punk but I’m not him tho he speaks facts! 😎

No, star trek is about space nerds, and star wars is about space hobos. That's the difference.


I hate to tell you, but I wouldn't see this as a sitcom. Yes the family is dysfunctional, but the writer is intend it to be that way in the most over the top manner. The characters treat each other like garbage on the regular, yes they join together as a family unit at points in the show but overall you get the sense that the whole point of the show is that they treat each other like absolute garbage which is the opposite of what a family should do. In this case it's way more dysfunctional than The Simpsons, it's intentionally dysfunctional over the top for the sake of its own surrealism. It explores a lot of scientific theories particularly multiverse theory. And it definitely centers most of the dysfunction around Rick, who seems to be the main catalyst for all of the families issues. I would say part of what makes the show so great, and so fresh, is its surrealism, it's intentional motive of bringing you things you haven't ever seen or imagined, and exploring those things through the lens of a family that just doesn't give a flying f*** about anything they do to each other, because if they did really care all the time, it would just be another movie or TV show, and if they were mildly dysfunctional but always manage to hold things together it would be the Simpsons, but Frank is a sociopath and the rest of the characters are not too far off. Keep in mind I don't support dysfunction, but this comes off more like an intentional satire, possibly trying to beat sitcoms that feature dysfunctional families to death


I have an honest question: is there such a thing as timelessness in this generation? I don’t fault Rick and Morty cashed into their brand, but it’s important to work with the new technology


I hate the dysfunctional family stuff tbh


Season 5 is as far the worst season ever exept for the last episode.

@Pierre Begley  i'd say the last episode is good, the bad thing of the season is that its way too random, i mean yea rick and morty has always been random but this season is simply too random in my opinion

I thought the last episode was why people hated season 5.


The show isn’t supposed to end that’s why they do this stuff it’s not like bojack


I TURNED MYSELF INTO A LEMON

IM LEMON EMP

I kid you not, he turns himself into a lemon. He calls himself Lemon Emp. It’s the funniest shit I’ve ever seen!


thx for the god hand music in the background


season 5 arrived. worst season of rick and morty ever


Damn you all.  Because of this video I had to binge all of futurama just to get to the ending that emp almost spoiled.

Was it worth it? I never really got into futurama.


13:40 what racing video game is this song from
? WHAT IS THIS SONG <D RIVING ME NUtS !
i know, I know it from somewhere.


anyone know the song at 17:07? the pastebin won't load for me


THEY ARE TRYING TO SHOW MEDIA WHAT THEY WANT AND THEY EVEN TOLD US THAT IN THE TRAIN EPISODE HOW THEY HAD TO IMPROVE BROAD APEAL AND MARKETING THEY WERE TRYINH TO MAKE IT A SHOW ALL CAN ENJOY ITS STILL A GREAT SHOW BUT ALL PEOPLE HAVE DIFFRENT IDEAS OF A GREAT SHOW EVN IF YOU DIDNT LIKE IT PEOPLE LIKE:  ME DID.

I’m 13 enjoyed like a ton of shows like Simpsons, Futurama, family guy, and Rick and morty despite watching them at age 12 they just tried there best to make it a good show by using suggestions from the FANDOM they proves it in the train episode for more explaintion watch film theory on Rick and mort


Thanks for addressing the fact that the “to be fair, you have to have a high IQ...” meme was probably fake and ironic

Actually that entire copypasta was a collimation of many different facebook post from Rick and Morty fans 4chan archived

you have to have a high logical intelligence to understand rick and how right he is

John Jon Jhon Johnathan Johnston Johnstar IV

The whole part about the tattoo pretty much gives it away.


Eeehhhhh, cut AdultSwim a bit more slack, they also brought us such gems as Frisky Dingo, Archer and of course the ever ubiquitous, if sadly cancelled Venture Bros.<br>Season 5 isn't really doing it for me, only by merit of that most recent episode where A LOT of background and lore is revealed... and we are breathless with anticipation regarding the season's conclusion.

Yes and no. There are some things that did change for the better, but some things also stayed the same in the shitty way.


yo fr the new season of rick and morty kinda blew


Hulu just purchased new episodes of Futurama. Buckle up!


0:50 can someone tell me what song is that please


i actually really liked the pickle rick episode. i mean specifically the payoff of rick ending up in therapy even after almost killing himself and going thru everything he could to get out of it. The therapist puts everything in ricks face and its a really self aware moment thats just high-larious 10/10 would eat poop


Yes but in the episode where he body swaps he gets into a rick from the council and he never left that body so he could be using the body augmentations used by the council


The show is good , but i think what ruined it else than the fandom is how overrated it is


It sounds like they could always pull off the “we were in a simulation” to explain away the later seasons if they wanted to get back to what the show was. I enjoyed listening to your thoughts on the show :)


As a nihilist, reveling in the infinite depths of your own self-centered melancholy is great and all,<br>but donuts are better.

Does this mean religious people are a fandom and atheists who enjoy hearing about religions are fans?


Rick and Morty is an overrated piece of crap show imo


The internet has basically accelerated the Simpsons affect for most media

Used to take at least a decade for that to happen

@Eat At Joe's otherwise known as. Shark jumping syndrome AKA Jumping the Shark <b>Inception sound</b>

@Eat At Joe's otherwise known as. Shark jumping syndrome AKA Jumping the Shark *Inception sound*

@Ruby Y. and that's pretty rare in this decade...No other show coming the last decade(probably Steven U.)has not reached that level of popularity

Mcheetah But their popularity exploded in 2015-2017, less than four years after the show started.

@Consumer of worlds Where a show drags itself out for so long that people forget its existence and yet it still keeps trying to cling to relevancy by doing stupider stunts.

Well, the show's been around since 2013 now, so three-quarters of a decade at this point...


yoooo whats the name of the music RIGHT at the beginning? its wild!!


That remark about television not being that good anymore just makes me glad that Phineas and Ferb seems to still have that lightning in a bottle quality that they used to, the promo song from the new movie looks be just promising as the show used be.


The day they cancelled aqua teens was the day the adult swim u talk about in the beginning died


Nobody talkin bout the reference in the title?


Season 5 Episode 2: I'm about to end this man's whole career


its just another trying to hard to be another deconstruction show which is just over done. there is no more reconstruction anymore. i watched full house and its breath of fresh air of optimism and no i hate everyone attitude that is a cancer in modern television


Season 4 was pretty good IMO, the only part I hated was when Rick name dropped Gamergate even though it’s been dead for years.

Gamer gate is basically their Vietnam. As in, they basically lost so they have the constantly bring it up like it’s still a thing even though it’s been pretty irrelevant for years now.

The people who hate gamergate can never stop talking about it. In light of what's gone down since Gamergate I would consider anyone mentioning it to be massively out of touch with current events.


Lmao Season 5 of Rick and Morty was such fucking ass


I think season 5 episode 8 is a turn in right direction.


There will never be another programme block like adult swim


The more technological we become, the more humanity we lose. This is because we have put all our feelings, our emotions into technology too. Science is for innovation in life, but not for life itself. Sooner or later science without spirituality will hit a wall that it can't move past unless it looks up. <br>(I'd like to think maybe this is starting to happen now)

@Izaiah Florés what a beautiful quote! where's it from?

"Repugnant is the creature who would squander their ability to lift an eye of heaven conscious of their fleeting time here."


So I really enjoy Rick and Morty a ton and I might "idolize" the main antagonists but I still know their actual character and who they are and their story in the show.


For me, seasons 1-2’s depiction of family drama and Rick’s conflict with loneliness and connection are where the themes were at it’s best. The show didn’t try to make Rick seem like some overpowered god that couldn’t get hurt. He had to rely mostly on his portal gun to save himself and even that would get compromised in certain episodes, leaving him more vulnerable and forced to improvise in order to survive. The show really fell off the rails for me by season 3 when they decided to make him go from a jaded yet goofy alcoholic scientist, to someone with a godlike status that could solve everything with gadgets without facing any real stakes.


good show, bad fandom, doesnt really matter at the end of the day just enjoy the show


when people ask why i like rick and morty i literally just say bc it’s fun and a good show, thats all i say


Loved your old ytp's, and this new content just blows me away with each new video.  I'm glad to see you still sticking to youtube with even higher quality content.


Aw, your analyses are always good! Thank you for putting in the work, and showing us this bit of history and culture! <br>Edit: I also love the mocking reference to Game Theory, the sell-out.

I recently got into Rick and Morty, I felt the same way about the last two seasons. It was a bit concerning at first to learn that adult swim ordered 70 more episodes, because I thought that might put a lot of pressure on the writers.. But if you think about it, it’s meant to be a random show and not something chock-full of lore in each episode, so the writers hopefully can just continue as normal.. And, like you were saying, now that the fandom is cooling down, hopefully the writers can focus on the show. The worst thing writers of any show could do, is listen to the fandom.. It’s not bad to listen to what your regular viewers have to say, but it’s just best to stick to ones guns on their original ideas.. Most things including TV shows have their low points, and some get better. It would be kind of sad to see another show with potential fall to the wayside..

With all that aside, I still like the show.. It’s entertaining enough to just escape for a bit and watch something weird...

I thought season 3 was one of the best. It was very consistent. The one when Ruck and Morty are police is one of my favorites. "Same old thing, Mortys'  killing Mortys' "

That was one of the best 20 minutes of my life. I love how they can joke about things that are so real. We all need to laugh at reality


We had fandoms before the internet. We connected via networks of events and synchronicities. We do not live in person quite so much anymore. It is amazing,  but still something is lost that you may, sadly, never experience.


I started watching sometime during season three, one of those were the first episodes I saw, then I went and watched up to that point, so I've only really had to wait for season 4, and to me Rick and Morty has only gotten better, even the first half of season 4 I loved

true season 4 was mad good felt like original rick and morty


I tried to watch this show. I really did. People kept telling me that it's hilarious and really smart. I forced myself to watch the entire first season and half the second season. Honestly I don't think I laughed once.


From what I seen in the show I get depressed for a few reasons. I relate a bit as well. Born a prodigy and been claimed a genius I have suffered


I think the way they made the last episode of season 4 where they made Rick start to be obscure and in the spotlight of the most powerful person on the universe made him relise he has nothing but that title
I think it was also might have been foreshadowed that when he says “he is god” and then a literal god beat him up really makes me think they are trying to change it back to it’s first 2 seasons
It was a pretty good season finale to start a new narrative in my opinion
Can’t wait for the next season


I like the show, i like the Theory’s. I like analysis like this. Not more not less. It’s just fun to enjoy.


I mean, nice video and everything, I see your points, but I'm really just a stoner that wants to crack a couple laughs watching something wacky. I already have plenty of great shows with intricate and thougtfull plots and writting that makes you reflect on certain issues. Rick and morty does that sometimes, but in my oppinion it's certainly secondary. Idk, I just enjoy it


I think it really peaked once more in the second half of season 4, introducing new dramas like ricks loneliness and exploring the family once more, and with the season 5 trailer looking more like the smith family than rick and morty, I think it will be a great show once more


I just hope after season five they see this and make one last season , I know it can be good again


I like the new episodes of Rick & Morty. The tonal shift was big, and it does feel aimless. I hope the new season finds its feet again.


i hope the next season tackles the drama aspect of the show a bit more. as much as i love its comedy and the sci fi, the underlying story was what i liked most. season four was enjoyable but not as good as i wanted it to be although its not horrible or anything. the acid vat episode and the ending were both great lmao


I love how he wrote the perfect copy pasta and in the end misspelled "personal"


Im glad that season 4 had moments that slowly showed rick he doesnt own the universe. Like when Birdperson almost killed him, and same with that one god from the episode where the planet had babies.


A bad fandom does ruin a franchise for me and it's now pretty embarrassing to tell people that I like this show.


To be honest I never noticed a dip in quality from season 3 and 4, I feel like the only reason you and/or a lot of other people did was because you pigeonholed your idea of what it should be onto it. Rick & Morty has never taken itself as seriously as you imply it does. It's an episodic comedy, it just needs to be funny and interesting which almost every episode is.


you're so spot on. this is the best. good job.


The interdimensional cable episode(?) absolutely destroyed me and I'm still not over it, lol. I guess every child has the feeling that they had ruined their parents lives by being born at some point. I'm the sorry person who thinks about that all the time. I wish I had mlrtx who would tell me to "come watch TV." I liked the episodes that had the family focus and perhaps more focus on Summer/Beth. I liked the Beth's made up land episode. That was season 3 I think? It was a fever dream and I don't remember it well because I saw it only once and my memory ain't good but it did give me guidance lol.<br>It was interesting seeing the characters feal with the same feeling I have, right. Rick and Morty is a prime example about why I don't like fandom culture. I like things for my deep fancy reasons that I have a hard time putting into words and I always dread meeting someone who likes the same thing... It makes me sad when someone likes something just for shitposts and memes. Although it's valid too. I just don't like seeing it lol. I guess that's the point of having niche shows for a small group of people, just like it was mentioned in the video...

i just love the show i never had a problem about it


I don't know why, but I just started thinking of the Saints Row franchise, what started off having a grounded story with some elements of absurdity until the third installment where everything was turned into an almost mindless action series, while the story is neglected and becomes mediocre


When someone praises something for being “deep” my first instinct is to hide a sigh.


Yes I never liked when rick became the smartest men in the universe, I prefer him to be vulnerable, just a scientist that despise his flaws, manages to do great things.

Agreed. I don’t even know where that characterization of Rick came from. The only person that thought Rick was the smartest, was himself. And even then, he never truly believed that either. Seasons 1-2 Rick was someone who would get drunk, go on Sci-fi adventures, then come home and pass out; all of this done in an attempt to avoid being alone with himself. Seasons 3-4 Rick is just some omnipotent god that could do whatever he wants with very little repercussions for it. Even his fight with Bird Person in season 4 was boring since he’s really no threat to Rick at all since he has a surplus supply of body armor that protects his organs. Rick in season 2 got shot by a teenage girl and needed Morty to help him up and seal his wound.


The show was good to the point it was getting far too edgy and meta.


With pickle Rick I respectfully disagree, pickle Rick is the dissection of the show displaying the elements that create Rick and morty and showing the fact is that Rick is incapable of change, the talk at the end of the episode doesn’t even phase Rick. Because the ultimate goal of Rick and morty that has become apparent is when Rick will finally break and confront his past


I just watch Rick and Morty for more Rick and Morty, sure it’s simple but I enjoy it that way


I know that him suddenly having advance Tec for situations is weird but after the situations in the earlyer seasons it kinda makes sense that he doesn't want to rely on just surviving. I mean in the purge episode he did have those suits but he had to get summer to send them to him so mabey it was a misstep having him suddenly able to do that or mabey it is him being more prepared? Who knows I just watch the show for fun not to think about scince


i cant comprehend that this man actually got sponsored by fucking Keeps

I also can't comprehend how this video basically took my exact thoughts on the show and ran with it


At 25:54, I like how the pseudo intellectual Reddit philosopher spells “Personal” wrong after trying to give an image of his own masculinity and intelligence.

"Nothing personnel kid"<br>-guy with 300+ IQ probably

"Nothing personnel kid"
-guy with 300+ IQ probably


As both a Steven universe and an anime watcher I can relate.


“Wait, it’s all dysfunctional families?”

“always has been”


i'd say when a show grows big enough that it attracts "those kinds of people", then yes they can ruin the show for everyone.


The biggest problem with rick and morty is the entitlement of the fandom, 100%.

It's an awesome show, hamstrung by the 'fan theory's culture. I actually like thay its made a point of trolling that section of It's fanbase as much over the past 2 seasons.


Season 3 is still my favorite season. But that probably says more about me than whether the show is still good or not. Ignorance is bliss I guess lol.


I guess during the season gap Rick learned how to improv


Really enjoyed this video, but calling Solar Opposites "Rick and Morty with extra steps" does a large disservice to the show.


Came back after the new trailer. Despite it all I'm really excited for the return!


I dont think this guys is grasping thr true undertone of this season and how it wraps up loose ends and opens new plots and starts better character development! And season four only further proceeds from these arcs


“Can a fandom be so insufferable that they damage [the piece of media] to an irreparable degree?”

Me who’s been a fan of FNaF, Cuphead, Fortnite, and Undertale: Sigh...

“Can a fandom be so insufferable that they damage [the piece of media] to an irreparable degree?”

Me who’s been a fan of FNaF, Cuphead, Fortnite, and Undertale: *Sigh...*


I go on Reddit and everybody is always like, "Oh Rick, yeah he's so right. He's the best and Jerry's the worst." Those are the people who ruined Rick and Morty.


That sponsorship was included perfectly.


I dunno man. Many people might disagree but I really conected with season 3 rick. The bouncing between feeling all powerful and a useless piece of shit is very real for me. As a viewer who started watching only after the entire 4th season came out, it honestly felt like the same quality of show throughout, and I feel it points out how people dont automatically change into a different person when they have a character arc. I think the fandom drastically changed the expectation of the show rather than the show itself, but thats just my opinion.


When a psychologist started telling PICKLE RICK (sigh) off I wondered why I was begin punished for liking this show...


I don't think they necessarily capitulated to the fandom, at least not completely. This moreso reminds me of Neil Young on the Tonights the Night tour where they'd play the album start to finish and alienate most of the audience, then by 30 minutes in asks them if want to hear something they've heard before and starts playing the exact same set they've just played thru.


I just cannot understand how intellectual logic leads anybody to nihilism. It doesn't play. Logic IS purpose. Value exists both of and as you. I think these people are hiding. Fear is logical.


Rick and Morty’s a good show. The true genius of the show is not to overanalyze things. The pickle rick episode is the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. No need to cry about the therapist. Having Rick go around and unrealistically mess around is hilarious. The fandom sucks but what fandom of a popular outlet doesn’t?

Yes, the rest of the more intricate and convoluted messages are but a cherry 🍒 ontop you get to play with after you stop balling your eyes out

This. I just watch Rick and Morty because it's funny and entertaining


I didn't start watching Rick and Morty until 2018 and I had no involvement with the Phantom and I didn't know anybody else that watched it so I was unaffected by what everybody else thought which may give me a better perspective.

“You no longer a scrappy underdog” I liked that edge vs John cena nod.


I would argue that season 5 is probably going to split rick from the family


I feel like you’re looking at this show a little bit too analytical, I’d say it’s just a show where the main idea is nothing matters I feel like it’s just a show enjoyable to watch and you shouldn’t look that much further into it


25:05 this is a big issue for me, because while yeah in theory the people who like the somewhat obscure things I do should be likeminded... they often arent. In fact polar opposite from some of my beleifs at times. So what am I meant to do? I want to find people who are likminded but also like the same stuff I do. Its hard to do.


Ahhh nothing tells you it’s a great piece of media like mentioning Gamergate years and years after anyone actually gave a shit about it.


i have consumed so much of your content today dude


Idolize ain't even the right word its more fun to watch than anything I can understand that what their doing is bad and messed up and still think its cool without me thinking that their "good people"


You are very talented, smart and hard worker. Thx 4 the vid


I like season 3. I don't care too much for season 4, but I still enjoy it.


When adult swim cancelled Million Dollar Extreme due to complaining by Tim Heidecker, that's when it started to all collapse. They cancelled a show that got them hundreds of thousands of views every episode, that gave them a significant profit, and they cancelled it due to political reasons.


The bleakness and lostness is the dark before the dawn kid. We are winning, conviction and care is overcoming ignorance, we just need to commit to solidarity and never give up hope. Fight back! 👊


I think he first calls himself the smartest person in the universe S2 ep10 8:00


13:10 Dude claims he doesn't agree that 'nothing means anything.' Seconds later he says "The knowledge that nothing matters, while accurate, gets you nowhere." I get the sense that you may have missed the magnitude of the words 'while accurate' and spent too much time trying to figure out what happened between seasons 2 and 3. What happened was this guy farted and pulled the sheets over his head.

Yeah this doesn't make sense. You're saying that pickle rick created the fandom but the fandom created pickle rick. Are you actually Dan Harmon?


I don’t feel like they have the same dynamic


I can't speak for everyone, and I hate to be one of those people who's like, "I like the old Rick and morty." However, at least for me, I liked the show much more when it relied more on comedy and the overarching plot was subtle. Now it tends to rely on juvenile extreme violence rather than unique comedy.


I suspect Dan Harmon's real life divorce probably had an effect on R + M S3


Pickle Rick at least inspired Season 10 of Drag Race lol


Nah dude. Rick and Morty is the greatest show of all time. Good video tho.


If pickles and ricks all got along, they prolly gun me down by the end of this song. Seem like the whole fandom go against me. Every time I’m in the streets I hear REEE! REEE! REEE! REEE!


Fandoms being a modern thing lol. My man not knowing about the two Teams in Byzantium.


honestly I love your videos but for me R&M really start picking up at season 3, the scene in pickle rick that you talk about with the psychiatrist for instance to me always seemed more like a - rick is really smart yet this person x took 3 seconds to completely analyse his situation, better than him even - and found humor in that. it was less on the nose and more super meta like much of the stuff they do in season 3 onwards. i'm really not the biggest fan of the first half of season 4 but I'm glad the second half kinda went back a nudge. maybe since I watched 3 seasons in one go the lines are more blurry but I really don't think they lost their charm


After the last season’s finale I don’t think this is still true


But who has a basic knowledge of how magic works?


Hopefully season 5 is different, but that's still a low chance.


31:07 - This video is how I learned about Solar Opposites and I just love it now


Your point about fantasy outclassing sci fi in the eyes of the masses baffles me


I like Rick and Morty, but I'd never defend it, even if I have bones to pick with some criticisms, simply because of the fans of this show pooping on any semblance of legitimacy in any argument in this show's defense, as they come across as psuedo-intellectual wankers who are so self absorbed in the perceived intelligence boost due to the messaging in the show and how relatable Rick is, especially in season 3, that they rightfully out themselves as, well, Jerry.


Unpopular opinion : South park has the perfect fandom.


I like your videos, but you pose everything you say as some unoposable truth, like your analysis is the only right one. And then you only immediatly refute your own previous points, or just "forget" to continue on them in the later part of your videos just so you can make a more intersting narrative. It'd be more suitable if there were some sources other then your opinion if you pose this many statements as truths.


The title is a kung fu Kenny reference obviously


Fandoms didn't exists before the internet? Chariot Racing fandom lead to one of the deadliest riots in history. The Nika Riot in Constantinople started because people who were basically chariot hooligans' got arrested for what the people thought were trumped up murder charges.


Everyone out here saying people are missing the point idolizing rick so they are dumb are also missing the point.  Youre just reinforcing their view.  Isolating them for many reasons one being you are also wrong, just like everything its about balance.  If you condemn rick you condemn everyone who might relate to his sympathetic side or something.  Its just seeing in black and white.  No different than idolizing a superhero that can do no wrong and make no mistakes.


the troll on Film Theory was just <b>chefs kiss</b>

the troll on Film Theory was just *chefs kiss*


Diversity hires, regardless of their intent are terrible.

Get the best person available, not a check in a box.


I think Rick and Morty is also a mix of Gravity Falls.


The fandom controlling the show happened to pokemon for video games


if you think about it Back to the future is like this as well


they released s4 in 2 halves cause one of the producers died, no? that was my guess...


M.A.A.D <br>explaining all what happened in new media

M.A.A.D
explaining all what happened in new media


OKAY.... IM FINALLY WATCHING THIS VIDEO.


a real online doctor ..... posting ads on youtube


20:09 TBF if I got robbed by a teenage girl and was getting into life threatening trouble every week, I probably would start carrying weapons too.... It's just that Rick's weapons are insane.


As a Schaff fan, It was super wierd to see Schaffrillas Productions with only 14k subs and hugely disliked video

@lucaslook damn they really ratio'd our boy huh?


You all sound like your bitterly looking to far into it. Just enjoy the show or don’t.


and hey, thats just a theory...A FILM THEORY !!!!!


The show lost it's consequences and flawed characters, now Rick is a super capable badass and Morty has sound morals. Gay...


"Any anime ever" for the crazy fandoms i was like "NO NOT DEAMON SLA... no ok they are nuts, well what about Ouran Hig... no they are bat shit too."" <br>Yep, cant think of an anime i enjoy, that doesn't end up having a fair amount of "stans" behind it going "HARUS MIIIIIINE ANYONE ELSE WHO TOUCHES THEM IS DEAD" like its all real and that one person can claim a fake drawing that animates on a screen thats been watched by millions, but yeah no. This Haru is defiantly 'Sailor_Sun4Lyfe's 🤣 god im too old for this shit, i felt normal when i was a teen but now i feel weird even being near fandoms

haven't seen the video yet but rick and morty is just a silly funny show with silly funny jokes and anyone that tries to make it a lot deeper than that or way worse than that earns my immediate contempt. like omg just laugh at the old man turning himself into a pickle it's not that big of a deal ffs

im mean it is a bit deep, most of Dan Harmons work has some depth to it


I hated the first half of season 4 far more than season 3

nah i disagree i think season 4 is incredible


minoxidil is not 90% effective. finasteride is the better option if you're okay with the side effects


Starts taking shots at other youtube channels 🤣🤣🤣


It’s insane how old Rick and Marty is and it still is ahead of it’s time...


It’s not a bad episode but it’s just so forced in this one…maybe the fans ruined it for me (17:58)


Rewatching this vid now that season 5 is ab to come out


26:21 The anime thing is the most accurate thing ever. I’m a huge anime fan  and I’m degenerate enough that I also read manga but I keep it to myself. The community is insufferable except for a few friends I have

This reminds me that time I dared to have a mildly controversial opinion on the konosuba subreddit.


I think my favorite think about R&M was how it always felt like one stable person could have ended the delicate balance of all of their issues.

They always felt like a spinning top waiting to lie.

Then a stable person showed up and I kinda lost interest haha


Squid billies is the true high IQ adultswim show but you people are not ready for this talk.


The Rick & Morty fanbase have a lot in common with the Breaking Bad fanbase.

They both think that they’re Rick and Walter White, but they’re actually Jerry and Badger.


Wait people stop watching because of the fans??

I just thought it dropped off in quality Inn
 season 3 I remember only liking two episodes and figuring it's not worth keeping up with


this show is a ten and you compain when its a 9


I started crying with laughter during that ad read. Holy shit


Personal opinion: Rick and Morty are nowhere near Futurama in terms of writing and characters<br>but it still a fun show

Personal opinion: Rick and Morty are nowhere near Futurama in terms of writing and characters
but it still a fun show

I agree but in other ways it is better. Or at least the first season was.

Thats because every writer in futurama  are incredibly smart


I love how emplemon is unafraid to just shit on game theory

@Bruh Master well, that’s a complex issue. I honestly don’t care if you make money doing something like YouTube, I just feel that once it becomes your career it loses its soul. Money is great and all but there’s better ways of gaining capital than selling out your dignity.

Nobody is afraid of shitting on Game Theory

@Mercury True, but dignity and pride doesn't really matter when you need to provide for yourself and your family. As sad as it is, he made the right decision in my opinion.

@Mercury I feel like he just ran out of content and tried to appeal to too many people and it worked, he’s probably making more money than he ever did before. If I were him I would do the same thing sadly tbh.

Or that he is easy to be made fun of, right?


For that good kid, m.a.a.d. city pun alone, this video deserves a like


Why did I just realize what the title is a reference of.


Lol rick and mortys great critics are miserable


Me: ricke monty
Rick: Wubbaluba dub dub!
Mort: sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


theres another adult swim show called "xavier : renegade angel" and it has been compared to rick and morty and even called the superior of the 2, if you ever want to, feel free to check it out as like most things on the network its a very bizarre but interesting expereince

Does anyone watch Off The Air?? Its a newer show(made within the decade) but by god that shit is badass. Most unique show I've ever seen on TV. That shit was made to throw those who are unfortunate enough to catch it while tripping into one crazy ass trip. The first time I watched it I had eaten 5g of killer mushies and the damn thing threw my ass into a 6 hour thought loop/existential crisis lol


A 35-minute mini documentary on a show I’ve never watched and don’t really care for? Sign me up!

Yeah I went from I really dont care to season 5 hype for some reason


admitting i like rick and morty got me a date once. she did play quidditch though


Futurama gets none of the love it deserves. Rick and Morty is great and actually kinda deep and original but, in many ways, ruined by it's fandom. For me at least.

Futurama is still remembered fondly, wdym.

@The Playbunny Arcade  good point, even tho I prefer discussing media with friends that share the same interests but I will listen to different opinions, even in toxic fandoms

@dudemaister96 I mean, it could be easy to get affected by it as the terrible fandom actions affect the view of the general public on certain media

@Horacio Barrios
While you're right a terrible fandom can ruin or sour the experience
I really do think that while season 3 was mediocre the fandom at the time made it unbearable and gave it a worst stigma

@Horacio Barrios that's the only way, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enjoy anything

Futurama will always be a series I remember fondly.

@Horacio Barrios the problem is a key factor of consuming media is discussing it with others. When a fandom becomes too toxic, you tend to lose the ability to more deeply engage with media and lose part of your interest in it.

This is very blatant in games. Would you want to play an MMO for years if literally every single player was out to scam or insult you? Warframe is a fairly good example of a game that's been carried almost solely off its very active and positive fandom despite the game itself very rarely resonating with people.

Can you enjoy discussing a show when anyone you talk about it with refuses to see any faults in it and gets hung up on every tiny little detail.

@Horacio Barrios I do agree in general but it does still have an affect on me. Guess I'm just dumb like that.

@Horacio Barrios yeah I learned to ignore fandoms a long time ago too.

I feel like a horrible fandom shouldn't ruin my experience with the media I'm consuming


I don't even tell people I watch Rick and Morty anymore out of fear that the "REEEE" kid is what I'll be in their heads forever. thanks fandom.


I mean Christ, that pickle rick episode had staggering soundtrack and action.


I wholeheartedly agree with the theory of the showrunners chickening out on the storyline to avoid conflict with how mainstream the show accidentally became. Felt the same watching S3 which is why I eventually dropped it as well. Not a judgement of their character, just a pity.

Edit: love you for the manic anti-hero attachment disorder term, will co-opt it. Also you get complimented on your editing and compelling narratives anyway, so let me add, you have good taste in music.


Re: Ricks power level

Season 4 went to greater lengths to show him losing, at least more than season 3. He almost dies to both zeus and birdperson, both times having to be saved by others. Unfortunately the show is being inconsistent with his power level to make these moments work, even disarming him to a boring ass fistfight with zeus.

NUT Their “emotional moments” are Rick with a frowny face at the end of an episode while an indie song plays in the background. Oh no, his girlfriend dumped him? He cloned his daughter? His friend died? That totally makes me feel bad for this asshole that killed an entire planet just to ruin his grandson’s Netflix show pitch. “I’m a terrible father” that’s not even his original Beth.

Yohan Bosu no but he had to keep birdperson “safe”

and in case someone says it, emotional stakes? there aren't any because the show hasnt put in the work to make you care about either of these moments

Yeah but remember how he literally can't die a few episodes befor? It was very strange to see him overcome death but than struggle with a stupid cyborg. I constantly thought: use your fucking tools idiot.

@Quirno Or don't watch to begin with, like I do, and watch videos on it instead just so you can have background noise.

@Christian Alfaro K, stop watching if you don't enjoy it.

Mat Roqueta The show tries to subvert expectations so much and punish you for having expectations as a viewer that it doesn’t even surprise me anymore. It just feels like a show with an identity crisis.

But it subverts your expectations every time, doesn't it?


Are we ovethinking Rick and morty too much? Even though I took a massive break from the show and watched season 3 and 4 late (and don't remember how I felt about them) I thought when rewatching it that it was pretty consistent and really fun, and I feel like it fits the whole philosophy of the show pretty well...
I mean the show warns about nihillism but ultimately kind of still is, "Nothing really matters so why not just write fun stuff." The Pickle Rick episode had me laughing like a mf through and through and I don't see why it is a source of conflict, The therapist tells us how we are supposed to feel? I think it's the audience that choses to hear it that way or not, I just saw a therapist explaining her job to Rick who was being disrespectful.
And when you stop asking yourself too much questions or holding too much importance to the supposed teachings of the show, then you just start to have fun, then it makes your time worthwhile and then its existence ultimately matters, therefore critcizing pseudo nihilism.

I think the show has the right to not be that deep or smart sometimes, and Ironically it makes it even more profound in my opinion.

@Dave Just Dave people try to find meaning in things where none is intended.

like contemporary art. put an umbrella at a gallery and someone... SOMEONE will take a picture, forming deep introspective analysis as to why it is art. when in reality, it's just a show meant to make you laugh.

Best comment hands down. Existing doesn't matter, but all that does matter is that you had a fun time


You need to do evangelion...for no other reasom that i like your video style and want to see it lol


Knowing basically this entire video but retracing Rick and Morty’s origin, reliving my high school experience with [adultswim] and Community and Channel101, staying up for both runs for the premiere of the pilot episode, and getting an EmpLemon video out of it is the best thing to ever happen this year.


Sometimes I wonder what happened that made MatPat so universally maligned.

One a more related note, great video. Makes me wish that more people fundamentaly understood critique so we wouldn't get so many "SU sucks and here's why" type videos.

@sailor skj Mine was a couple years when he made a 2 different videos, 1 was supposed to be a “realistic historical evaluation” of a video game but he used video game logic and popular misconceptions that can be disproven with a simple YouTube search.

The another one was his whole DS3 theory about the Unkindled Ash your playing as being the 3rd and final member of the Black Hand, despite the fact only one class you can select only has one of the requirements to have a chance of been an Black Hand, that class can dual-wields, which is a requirement but is missing a second item that you can wear called a Hunter Ring which all 3 members would be wearing as it increases dual-wielding damage and is only given to and worn by Hunters. And a member of the Black Hand would wear it as the Black Hand were the selected best Hunters out of the group, so all 3 would be wearing them.

@luxuriousmoth1 his vids start with a theory that far fetched and then make a ok point then he goes off the deep end a talks about  nonsense and caps off the vid p.s the vid that made me stop watching his vids was the god awful hollow knight one that can be debunked with a single in-game image

I remember hearing a lot about him right when his "sans is ness" video came out.


The dragon episode is my favorite Rick & Morty episode out of spite towards the fandom.

That episode actually wasn’t the worst one. Wasn’t great but I got through it

@Cory the Norm whoa. That went straight over my head. Hahahahahah and I liked it to begin with. Now I gotta rewatch it for an added layer of tongue in cheek diss service lol


That ad read was the funniest shit I’ve ever seen. Good job emp


I remember watching this new show Rick and Morty back in late 2013. I thought it was strange but entertaining. I assumed it would go down the same lane as China, IL another show on TV around the time. Never knew it would become this big. I only ever watched the 1st season and I think people overrate this show.


This is why I love the Rick and Morty.  I saw a show with big sci-fi elements with some slice of life mixed in and got so caught up in the spectacles and relatability that I never noticed the bigger pictures.  I always feel like such an idiot when I watch a video and get this stuff pointed out to me but in a satisfying way.


The only reason I click on this video is because of the title


RE: the part about R&M really being a family drama about a dysfunctional family. Dan harmon had the same thing happen with community, a show about a group of outcasts coming together and finding themselves, becoming only about the wacky one-off homage episodes

A L how was what I said contrary to that?  I watched the show I know what happened

Dan was fired off of community after the first three seasons. Partially because the network wanted it to have a broader appeal.


I love how like halfway through this, his tempo changes and he starts breaking it down like an anime.


I still like pickle rick because it seems like rick is truly running from his family and he finally gets confronted

Still a mediocre way to continue the show though, yeah. You’re right a lot Emplemon


“Welcome to the age of the fandom. Where the media you consume is fundamentally tied to your identity.” So fucking true today.


The adult cartoon that has a plot of an american sit-com, why they keep doing that?


Imagine this: season five starts with a compilation of season 3-4 only for morty to start screaming in bed and Jerry comes to comfort him tell him it’s all alright
It was all a nightmare

Then we get a scene of rick playing Russian roulette and actually blowing his brains out title scene shows just “Morty”

Or ya know just the nightmare thing that works too


If rick and morty characterized adult swim in the 2010's, I hope smiling friends will help characterize it in the 2020's

@ddd I dunno, Family Guy seemed to catch on pretty well

Smiling Friends looks good, and I’m sure I’d like it, but it’s just more manic chaos internet “lol r4nd0m” loud screeches and gore/psychological horror shock content that’s funny or entertaining in small doses. I can’t imagine that show having more than that niche appeal.

Damn, has there only been the pilot so far? No torrent results and no Wikipedia article. I need more of this.

Thanks for introducing me to Smiling Friends. I needed that. I'm basically a Desmond at this point.

I hope they keep the hack frauds of Lightning Fast VCR repair around on that show too

Drew Pruitt Thing is, Rick and Morty has indefinitely left its mark. It’s marketable as fuck and a lot of the themes are relatable to a lot of people. Rick and Morty is to adult swim as spongebob is to Nickelodeon. Smiling friends is an awesome show show but it borderlines niche-internet animation humor. I do hope it’s given a fighting chance.


bushworld adventures is the best rick and morty


downfall started season 3 but cracks were always there multiverse cable eps were dumb

The first inter dimensional cable episode was good, but season 2’s sequel to the episode definitely fell flat. I think what mainly made me like the first inter dimensional cable though was how it delved into Beth and Jerry’s abandonment of Summer, and the show making a callback to Rick Potion #9 by having Morty use his experience in that episode as a vehicle to push Summer out of her funk. And the ending where Beth and Jerry reconcile was one of the most emotional moments of the show for me. But, yeah. I agree that the show went downhill in season 3.


now maybe adult swim can give Million Dollar Extreme: World Peace the run it deserves

Sam is pretty much blacklisted from the entertainment industry so that's never happening


Morty will probably develop PTSD at some point 😥😓😖🧠🧠🧠🧠🧠


The thing we all have to look forward to is that Rick & Morty fans won't be reproducing so... There's that.


jesus christ why do people hate family guy so much, bird is the word!


26:20 finally someone calling weebs out remember kids no anime


No body has made these kind 9f videos adresing season 3 until pepole actualy got mad at season four every body loves season three so stop pertending you're a critic


All I needed to never consider watching this show was the line;

“Am I evil?”
“No, you’re smart.”

@John Jon Jhon Johnathan Johnston Johnstar IV you do realsie that your the defination of a edgy teen who thinks joker quotes are "deep"

if you think i got it from reddit i didnt, i figured it out. noone agrees with me or says that, and reddit is just an echo chamber where the most popularly liked things float to the top.

Grand Flex Johnson: John Jhon Jon Jonathan IV Really need to cut back on the reddit, partner

but the ignorant masses see the biproduct of intelligence as "evil". a smart person wants to obliterate all of reality because existing is pointless.

When i heard that line i cringed so hard i spat my sandwich out.

Just think, some poor deluded teenager is going to make that their high school yearbook quote, too.

It's a damn shame too, considering it's so much more than that.


I usually don’t like sci fi and I think it’s because I hate the made up jargon. Sometimes there’ll just be 5 minutes of dialogue and none of it makes actual sense. Feels like a cheap way to pad a story


mass hallucination, baby
Ill education, baby

Want to reconnect with your elations

This is your station, baby

Look inside these walls and you see them having withdrawals
Of a prisoner on his way
Trapped inside your desire
To fire bullets that stray
Track attire just tell you I'm tired and ran away
I should ask a choir, "What do you require
To sing a song that acquire me to have faith?"
As the record spin I should pray
For the record I recognize that I'm easily prey
I got ate alive yesterday
I got animosity building
It's probably big as a building
Me jumping off of the roof
Is just me playing it safe
But what am I supposed to do?
When the topic is red or blue
And you understand that I ain't
But know I'm accustomed to
Just a couple that look for trouble
And live in the street with rank
No better picture to paint than me walking from bible study
And called his homies because he had said he noticed my face
From a function that tooken place
They was wondering if I bang
Step on my neck and get blood on your Nike checks
I don't mind because one day you'll respect
The good kid, m.A.A.d. city


wiat what? O_o who hates rick and morty?
