Yes, it is. The OP's on bath salts. It's like Back to the Future on steroids. It's about an alcoholic super genius (Rick) who drags his grandson (Morty) around on various adventures in different universes, dimensions, and realities. When the show first started, it was more self-contained and just focused on surrealism due to the adventures they went on. But right now, they've developed more of an emotional core and tried to give the characters more of a heart, dealing with the realistic consequences of their actions.

The thing about Rick and Morty is it's not just about gratuitous violence, swearing, and disturbing imagery. The show usually has a larger point to make about society, and has covered topics like alcoholism, existentialism, slavery, abandonment, therapy, and self-hate to name a few. The thing is, despite Rick coming off as a sociopath that just does whatever he wants and cares about nothing because he's too intelligent for it, he actually hates himself. He's in constant pain which is why he's always drinking and drooling, and he hates the possibility of being uncertain about anything (especially his own death) because it goes against who he is. In the last episode, him and Morty break down because of their adventure and Rick admits that he was not in control of the situation at all because they almost died and he would have been powerless to do anything about it. We get to see the realistic consequences of Rick's behavior: His daughter Beth is an irresponsible alcoholic like him, her marriage fell apart because of Rick's interference, and Morty even resents him to some degree due to everything he's done.

Rick and Morty is a really unpredictable show. It can do almost anything because of the sci-fi concept, and in every episode, it creates a unique universe with unique situations for Rick and Morty to go on. In one episode (my personal favorite), Morty follows Rick inside his car battery and he finds out that the battery's power is coming from a civilization with intelligent life (Microverse), essentially making them slaves. They find out that someone in the civilization created his own universe of intelligent life (Miniverse), and in that guy's universe, there was someone who created his own civilization called a Teenyverse. The Teenyverse guy ends up killing himself when he realizes his purpose was just to make power, especially when he remembers that he missed his father's funeral because he was too busy working.

The show really is deep and comments on how hopeless life can be sometimes. What if we're all just put here to serve someone else? What if everything we've ever done is all a lie and there's nothing to believe in because we're not even real people?

Also, the show is hilarious as fukk. They pack multiple jokes a minute into each episode so there are some you might not even pick up the second time you watch. That's why season three was delayed because the writing process is notoriously long and they have to do constant rewrites to make sure everything comes together well enough.

I could say more, but I don't want to write an essay. Just know that you'll regret not giving this show a chance and you're not demonic or a creep or a savage or a sociopath if you end up liking it. Those are the kind of people the show actually makes fun of. :obama:

Some episodes you could check out: "Lawnmower Dogs," "Meeseeks and Destroy," "Rick Potion #9," "Rixty Minutes," "A Rickle in Time," "Total Rickall," "The Ricks Must Be Crazy," "Look Who's Purging Now," "The Wedding Squanchers," "The Rickshank Rickdemption," "Pickle Rick," "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy," "Rest and Ricklaxation."
I am on season 1 episode 2 right now it is entertaining so far.

So do they just go into random Dimensions every episodes this one seems like they're going into a dream world

I haven't watched a single episode of rick and morty and its already worse than ATHF. I've literally only seen clips on like IG or FB that auto play and its always way over the top.

ATHF got off the wall towards the end also trying to keep up with everything else and I dropped that. But initially it wasn't that bad.


I love how you said sealab was lame tho:mjlol:

Proves a point all in itself.

Seeing meme clips, out of context, of R&M is gonna be horribly dumb. Lots of the jokes are dialogue driven and are loads funnier because their has been a set up for it. Not only that but a lot of the smarter and more nuanced humor is in smaller moments because the characters involved have clearly defined personality traits.

What the hell is this bullshyt :what:

Watching this scene, out of context, is pointless. The reason it works is because it sets up the world of the Purge, introduces that character, and plays with your expectations.

Not only that but Rick even states that the violence is pointless and he's not for it

Well, not in every episode but yeah, a majority of the first season is just Rick and Morty going on different adventures. There's one where Morty gets to pick the adventure ("Meeseeks and Destroy"), another where Rick goes on an adventure with Morty's sister Summer ("Raising Gazorpazorp") and one where they don't even go on an adventure, but just sit at home and watch improvised TV bits ("Rixty Minutes"). But yeah, the episode you're on ("Lawnmower Dogs") is an Inception parody and a standard R&M adventure.

The other day I was at a friends house and he had this shyt on. I'd heard about it before but never thought much of it.

This is some of the most vile and disgusting shyt I've ever seen on a television. And to top it all of it's animated, and he had his kids in there watching it.

Call me old fashioned, out of touch, whatever, but we are breeding a generation of sociopaths and savages with this type of thing.

Back in the day I liked the Simpsons but honestly I was never crazy about it the way a lot of other people are. Stuff like South Park and Family always got zero laughs from me, never understood the appeal. But this show right here (R&M) ? :scust: We live in a society where you can't call a man in a dress anything other than a woman but this stuff is somehow acceptable. I weep for the future.

Its def not for children... I agree with you there

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Never seen it but I did see a 14 second clip once where one of the characters was in a doctor's office looking through people's personal medical info. The doctor circled back around and came back to the office to make sure said character wasn't going through personal files and the character, in response, quickly dropped his pants and proclaimed, "Nooooo nope just looking at porn."
