 Fuck me and my fucking asshole. It's we're back with rick's two minutes everybody season three episode six rest and Rick Lacksation I and the best guy ever in here's did you bro? We're back you sound you sound like you're toxic did you you're I am quite toxic Toxic animal. Yeah, I'm the toxic Avenger This is good episode man. Yeah real good episode real good. I really liked it this took me back in a way to what I think is a lot of the best Rick and Morty episodes which is take a Just really interesting fucking sci-fi concept and see what you can do with it Yep, which I don't feel like we've had as much of this season maybe the first episode with the whole Yeah, yeah going into like his memories and shit But the start of season two was a lot of this like the this reminded me of like the planet That was a live episode kind of with the the usage of the Concept and seeing where they could go with it planet. That was alive as in the What was her name fuck his girlfriend that lady? Yeah, the girl from yeah, okay. I'm with you. I'm with you Yeah, this was this is really great shit There's no like there's no like evil foe to conquer in this episode So there's no need to like worry or there's none of this shit We're like we're second-guess like why doesn't Rick just do this? Why doesn't Rick just fucking you know, but no it doesn't fucking matter because the conflict is internal this episode Exactly where it should be for this shit. It felt tight and it's I kind of love when they I Can call it an excuse, but I think it's clever writing when they put the characters in a situation where they can't solve it because of just like personal like mental limitations like in this case the You know this could be resolved easily if they were whole but the fact is that they're not and that's the whole problem, you know Yeah, plus you Rick You know won't go through with what other Rick would right of course I think Rick and I mean what makes it interesting is like these are Like they're approaching it on a level that makes sense to all of us like we can all imagine what our Toxic sides are and it's really interesting when you get to the end of the episode where it turns out that the toxic parts Everyone it defines for themselves what their toxic parts are that may or may not be what the rest of us think they are And that was a fucking great twist. Yeah, it was awesome. It was fantastic Because it made me realize, you know, like this whole episode These are the obviously toxic parts of Rick and Morty that we're seeing the idea that rakes of violent maniac Who thinks he's a god and just you know, it's completely full of himself But when we find out that this is what Rick thinks are the toxic parts of himself It really recontextualizes it quite a bit that like even he wishes he wasn't like that But he also wishes he wasn't he didn't have like love and feelings like that You know like he'd like to be a nice polite regular dude, but he still wants to be a cold a social You know Psycho and it's great and it's great that since like Morty kind of like those are the other the traits that he would consider Positive about himself like he wants to be that American psycho like a moral, you know unfeeling Cutthroat businessman kind of guy that that Rick identifies as like that's what he wants to get rid of But Morty wants to keep those things because of his deep deeper insecurities and it just makes it it's making it so that None of this is like an objective stance as to like what is actually good and bad about a person by couching it in this This is how the individual identifies as their bad points It gives it this great air of subjectivity where it's just we just get to more understand the characters themselves And how they perceive these things as opposed to like, you know Dan Harmon making a stance about like oh if you have feelings if you love your week You know any of that bullshit. It's not making that point at all. It's just talking about the characters. It's great. It's much more interesting Smart shit. I will say one thing if I have one complaint or doubt about this episode It's would Morty really be this good just by losing his toxic side that did occur to me as well Yeah, like just by not being such a huge coward You know, I mean one of my favorite moments in the entire show is in the entire episode is when Morty just like confronts Rick He like tells me like you are not fucking getting in the back It'd be real dangerous for you if you fucking went back and got like our shitty sides And then as he's walking away fucking football just arrives in his hands And he fucking tosses it back and keep going like yeah Like the levels of absurdity as to how perfect Morty's life has become because he's lost this like are comedically Just just fucking perfect like they're way over the top and I love how obnoxious He is yeah, and that the episodes willing to just dwell on it like just really like go They go so hard on like the corn ball element of it like he's just telling stupid jokes that aren't funny and like For a second. I'm like groaning and then I'm like, oh, that's the point, you know, like you got me you motherfucker I constantly felt that way throughout his scenes and I sort of felt like the elements that propel him to such levels of success are just his absolute confidence and You know really that's that can that can make of a huge difference in somebody's life And you can see like toxic Morty, which is his complete like Disgust with himself on every possible level Yeah, leaving leaving, you know healthy Morty quote-unquote healthy Morty to be just this fucking Powerhouse of confidence. Yeah, like I can see why he'd do well, you know when he goes to becomes like a broker or whatever Yeah, yeah, it makes sense makes sense How my favorite character in this episode is Random slut Yeah, I fucking love her I felt I felt a certain tingling in my loins when I gazed upon this character Where he's when she's like should I leave and he's like you're free person do what you want She's like I choose to stay Yeah, she was a bit of a delight I liked her a lot Yeah, I knew I I was really happy because like I knew that they were gonna end up trapping her in the machine But what I was really hoping was that either she'd escape or just be like like a badass down Like I knew she was gonna be in the end after credits. Yeah. Yeah, like no question after she got trapped in there And didn't like like I would have been really bummed out if they'd like killed her You know, and this is I've been saying all season that the show has been writing right on the line between being like overly gross and Like and and acceptable and like there's still an insane violent scene in this where all these little kids chop off a clown's head And it's fucking Horrible yep, but it was great because it's a character. Nobody cares about it's just a one-off gag And it's it works really well Like if this girl had gotten killed that would have been like this is like why why she was likable I liked her don't kill her And I'm glad this show still has that sense of knowing like when to push the violent button and when not to and You know, it's continued There's only been like a couple places where I thought like the aforementioned one of the Avengers episode I was like, eh, we have to kill that guy so gruesomely, but it wasn't a big deal I didn't like that episode anyways, so yep. Yep, you know, but here I felt it was done just right, you know Okay, can I just bring up so people have been making a there's been a Contention this whole season that we haven't addressed on this show yet The issue of the quote-unquote female writers. Are you aware of this you aware of this meme that's going around Yeah, I don't like I mean didn't the show always have female writers. I honestly don't know I thought that I should prepare, but then I also didn't So I have not looked into this at all. I don't know comment people give me like reasons to take this seriously I don't know what this means. Every time it gets brought up. It's like it's completely Inconsequential because everyone agrees Pickle Rick was an amazing episode. It was written by a woman Oh, and then like so, you know, where do we go from like what what is the side you're trying to take here? You're trying to say the female writers are good or bad because we've already proved they've done like the both the best and worst episodes Of the season were written by a woman. So where you know, I mean I'll tell people make of this is just show me an itemized list show me the correlations here cuz Pickle Rick was perfect This episode was fantastic And then the the Avengers one and the the Mad Max one like those are pretty lame overall So like I don't know if these were like diversity hires that made the show worse I don't know prove that to me in some way. I don't know do the work for me people That's what I'm asking of you It's I think they're just trying to make it a meme But like yeah, the meme can't stick if the fifth some of the best episodes are written by women Like you can't meme it if it's just not even true I think some people disliked Pickle Rick just for like they didn't pay attention to how good the episode was and instead Like the memory of it like oh Pickle Rick is so funny except that episode was fucking great So, you know, I don't I don't know what there is a complaint about Well, anyway, I don't know I just thought I'd bring that up like people have been saying that for a while And I didn't really know if you had any insight to bring to the no Like I said the first thing I heard about it was well Pickle Rick was written by a woman and I was like well Okay, there's no problem. I guess women are the best writers then as it turns out I Don't know. I feel like yeah, maybe people are just out to Which hunt on the show for? Seemingly having more women than it had before I don't fucking know. I know everyone who works on Rick and Morty gets fucking poached so like If they hired more women, it's probably because they ran out of whoever was writing the show before You know and the new hires are just as good as the old ones Who the fuck all the goddamn men are ascending too high in the patriarchy We have to fill these slots with the the lowly women. Hey, what can we do? So, hey, can we talk about how fucking? I don't know spine shatteringly intense the opening scene of this episode was cuz I Fucking was awesome. It was the coolest thing ever. I was not my favorite situation at any point Morty that that really fucking got me That's that's oh, that's another thing I've I mean we've this has happened many times throughout this show But the way that this show will have like full-blown Lovecraft shit happen to the minds of these characters and then find a reason to just wipe it under the rug Yeah, you know like we had the Roy game in season two Where Morty experiences an entire lifetime as another person We just had in the last episode the whole mind meld for an epoch thing right and now We've got this like deep trauma to the point of we're never going on another adventure for both of them Even Rick. Yep, but then they go to a spa. They're like, you know, well, you're just gonna work through that stress It'll be fine It was great. That was great And I yeah, I just love seeing like the alien spa and all the stuff they were doing there And I don't know it's not a major point but seeing like Once we saw like toxic Rick and toxic Morty trapped in the tank and just realizing that they're like in this world I don't know something about that was just really cool being in this yeah seeing sort of like the Sort of the anthropomorphization of like the inside of like this toxic tank or or something like that I don't know. So about that was really dope. I really like I really I love this sci-fi idea Just because of the fact that they they go to a spa and detox which is like in in reality Oh load of horse shit. Yeah, like detoxing is not like a Thing that works as far as I'm aware. I'm pretty sure it's like bro science, you know Yeah, yeah, so like especially the like oh, I'm going on like a three-day detox right like swallow a fucking rope and Then shit it out over the course of three days, you know about those ones like yeah, you know That's what they're making fun of here But it's a sci-fi version where not only does it work, but it's like literally everything toxic about you psychologically removed like just such a good idea and then to make a whole story out of that idea is It's genius. Yeah, it was great. It's just really smart and you know seeing you know Clean Rick or a healthy Rick, you know being guilted into into bringing back him and and even being guilty to like Marty We got a reabsorb about dark parts there. They're part of us Marty. We can't we can't live without them That's I really loved that Rick I loved fixed Rick because they didn't make it They didn't overdo it and make him like a like a actual total pussy. He's just like a reasonable guy Who's very interested in science, you know, like he just wants to be a scientist man Like that's that's the Rick's perfect vision of himself is just a man who wants to do science Just a reasonable guy who who wants to do that, you know And like that's what he would consider an idealized version of himself But but that that idealized version is such a moralist that he can't stand to leave behind You know a part of himself that he feels he wronged by you know doing this, too So by the way a detriment to himself. He's so self-sacrificing. Yeah, yeah that he would help this other person Whereas Morty sees himself a perfect version of him would not sacrifice anything for anyone. Yeah. Yeah, it's true That's true. It kind of just shows that Deep down Morty is kind of a worse person than Rick, you know At least in the way that like he wishes that he could be you know He wishes to be this kind of a moral guy, which I totally relate to I'm totally in agreement with Morty I would I wish I was that American psycho Morty. I've said many times that my favorite thing about Rick is that underneath all the psychopathy He is a moralist and now we've been made fun of on the previous episode for suggesting that Rick was a better person than Jerry because Rick's Rick's killed so many fucking people and all that shit, but Rick also has Created entire worlds that run perfectly fine. He's you know create his amount of things He's brought to the world is possibly Greater than the amount of destruction he's caused and I mean I would say it probably more likely evens out Considering that on the Council of Rick's they said he was like right in between being a full evil and a full good He's like the perfect middle ground But you know a middle ground as a Rick is not oh, I don't kill anybody, but I also don't really contribute to society It's I kill swaths of people, but I also like create entire Utopias and shit and you know occasionally help people so like I do think there's a moral center to Rick That's always been there and whereas Morty has you know, he's just an idiot who's been strung into this world where he's developed Nihilistic personality and doesn't care about anything for real so like you know, it's a bit of a bit of a give-and-take there It's interesting to and I really don't think Toxic Rick's point should be discounted like you you've got to imagine yourself in Rick's perspective here Everyone around him is a fucking like worthless piece of protoplasm like he is a literal God Compared to these people with with his abilities like to even give one ounce of an iota of a shit about any of these creatures that you know You have access to infinite alternate versions of like Frank like the the moral labor enacted to do that is frankly more than any of us could possibly imagine in any of our lives Because we're like a lot of us only act kind because we have to act kind or society will destroy us Rick is above society in every possible way He chooses to act morally none of us ever have to like with how about the great with great power comes great responsibility Considering the incredible power Rick has he is goddamn saintly because he could just evaporate our universe Yeah, and granted he will do that sometimes Like we're not saying that he always makes the right choice But the fact that he ever makes the right choice is almost shocking exactly like like again Back in episode two with the the road warrior world like if he wanted to he could have just killed everyone and left But he just didn't I don't know didn't feel up to just murdering everybody that episode the people the people making those kinds of points I think should listen to bill burr's comments on Tiger Woods like all these all these fat middle-aged pieces of shit Like waddling out when they hear that Tiger Woods cheated on his wife They waddle out to their fucking sedans, you know, they're fucking Honda civics, and they're like, oh, absolutely Reprehensible behavior from Tiger. Oh, it's absolutely disgusting Meanwhile, they have never once ever had to face the kind of challenge that Tiger Woods did at his peak when he would walk off the Club and there'd be a fucking busload of fucking Swedish cheerleaders wanting to fuck him all at the same time When have you people ever faced the kind of challenge that Tiger or Rick has never once in your fucking life? So I don't want to hear you commenting on this shit like oh, why doesn't he just be perfect all the time get fucked I don't have any sympathy for these people Rick is Rick's He's a complicated man. I like how many times have you crushed an ant in your life at least once probably that's what human beings Are like to Rick. There's a context people. It's a context There you go. Here you go Beautiful beautiful rant there This episode about I don't know Hey, how about I was pretty cool when they made the whole world toxic. I was kind of cool What did I all I can remember is them the the children murdering the clown. Oh the priest Yeah, the priest being like yeah, I got we steal money from you. God's not real Starts fucking and then the people from like Subarus and some salad place like switch places for some reason. I was trying to interpret with that Understand that one. I think like the fat people went into like the Mexican restaurant And then after it went back they went back to like the salad place. I I don't know. I lost track Yeah, I wasn't taking it. It wasn't Mexican. It was a Sabarro. Oh, yes. Oh, right, right Oh, hey, one other cool thing about this the fight scene between Rick's was pretty fucking dope Especially when they like murdered each other and they had to like you re-roll fucking body. Yeah, that was fucking awesome It's the coolest thing ever Which is another one that has Like that's the thing a lot of the coolest tricks in this episode are things that have been done before like that is something we've seen we've had a In episode one when Morty knocks over the like the tank with an alien baby And it like grows all the way into old age in a second. Yeah, we've had Rick don't think about it Morty Yeah, yeah We've had him kill other versions of himself and take their bodies at the start of the season like we've seen a lot of Rick using Weird regrowth and rebirth techniques, but it's still cool But I do think this is one of those things where it's like this show has a limited number of seasons that it can still be impressive Like this, you know, like if we see this another time, it's gonna start to be like, okay I get it Rick consigns himself back to life, you know How many times are we going down that road because I thought it was cool as shit But I didn't have that shocking like hanging in my psyche like that scene from episode one did with the alien Don't think about it because I couldn't help but think about yeah You know this fight kind of reminded me, you know for obvious reasons of you know that fight I once I first saw it on YouTube as the most cartoony anime fight ever between Araragi and Vampire girl where they just pop each other's heads off repeatedly and you know, I'm talking about if you've seen this I don't think so. Is it recent? It might be from the third keys in monogatari film It was basically the coolest thing I've ever seen in my entire fucking life and Makes me understand why people watch that show. So I gotta fucking do that Yeah, yeah, a lot of people would say you should watch the films first because they are technically a prequel to everything else in the Series, but aren't prequels supposed to be watched after you know, I whatever I mean I mean they the book was like the second book, but it's taken them the longest to adapt so yeah Well enough about bullshit anime This I mean and nothing else. I mean we pretty much covered everything that was great Oh, hey, how about the the additional little extra layer of character that was added to Jessica? And she had like actually seems to have some feelings. Yeah, what's up with that? I don't know man seems like it's going somewhere. I mean I can't I can't really remember How she's been treated because she wasn't around much in season two and hasn't been much for this season so far like She was mostly a plot device in the first season and it kind of felt like the way they were treating her was she has no Personality whatsoever. She's just a prop in whatever the scene is. Yeah, like so I can't remember if there's ever been a hint of this before The idea that she might have cared about But yeah, other than when she got like love potioned in the other universe, right? I honestly feel like it's a little bit out of nowhere Like I she did go on a date with him and I'm sure she was impressed like she said like I think I'd be too boring for you So that that's an admission that this guy seems to have a lot going on. So she's kind of in that way I think she was you know, that might be an excuse or something. Yeah, I Think that was a nice way of putting it that she's probably true I don't know. I feel like they're going somewhere with her I expect to see more of her at some point But like more than once her bad and she's at least a little bit into him. Just just fucking do it guys Just I wonder if they're trying to set up like because there's a lot of stuff this season that feels like it could be continued On oh, yeah I wonder if they're trying to set up for like the long haul like this isn't gonna be stuff That's resolved this season But it'll be like a new overarching stuff for the rest of the show that'll like slowly develop I almost feel like every episode that we've seen so far is Introduced a character that like could come back for like the season finale of this like in this episode There was you know the big tits McGee In Pickle Rick, there was like the that machete guy or whatever his name was LT gray that guy In episode one there was bird person and what's it face of those guys are obviously kind of like more important characters I don't know. Oh and like Buckethead ex-husband of summer. I guess or whatever just seems like there's a bunch of that I'm wondering if we're gonna I don't I almost feel like they're setting up for like some big event where they all get together And for like revenge or something. I don't know that that's my prediction We'll see we'll see I don't think anybody who shows up in an ending gag is gonna show up again I feel like they do that to resolve a character so that we know they won't be back I know what you're saying that that would make a lot of sense then again LT gray seems I don't know the fact that he's still out there, you know makes it like I can't see big tits McGee coming back Cuz what would she do? Yeah, but I'll T gray if that's his name. I I don't know if that's his name We all know who you're talking about though. Yeah, we'll We'll see man. We'll see as it goes great episode Really good last episode is really good Pickle Rick was really good. Let's let's keep this out episode one was really good It's only really been two episodes that we thought were weaker. So it's not bad. That's not terrible It's going it's going okay I mean and not even that we thought were terrible just that we're not amazing like below average Rick and Morty episodes Yeah, which is a disappointment more or less. Okay. Yeah, so for some when I was like but yeah, I mean I There's episodes of seasons one and two that I think are worse than the others. So this is not new I don't expect to show to bat a hundred at all times, but it is definitely fucking still solid. Absolutely as long as they keep Bringing in new ideas. I just I hope they stay away from like if there was like another Mr. Me seeks episode or just anything like reusing old ideas Even in small ways would be that would be an indication that things are starting to dry up But as long as they keep doing stuff like this Yeah, this is good. Like this is just a new idea. That's the kind of stuff that we I promise we will see that if Dan or Or Justin ever left the show. Oh, yeah for sure You know for sure they lost creative controls as hard as they fucking can if those guys leave Which I mean Justin voices half the characters and Dan voices the other half So like they can't it would be real hard to do the show without the moment Yeah, that's true. Well, we're here's hoping good so far keep it up guys. Oh Yeah, peace Kill me
