Best Episode in Every Season of Rick and Morty
11My best episode thoughts for each season of Rick and Morty (1-5).
I tried to stray away from the mainstream or super memed episodes.
All clips owned by Adult Swim.
Script:
Something Ricked This Way Comes.
This is the episode where Rick destroys the Devil's cursed object business.
He does this because the Devil tried to curse Rick.
Rick claps back by opening a business across the street,
with the sole purpose of removing the curses from the objects.
This obviously would ruin the Devil's fun.
This is also the butter robot episode, and that's one of my favorite bits.
A robot learning it's only purpose is to pass butter, which is a pretty meaningless existence.
Throughout the longer, but truely the B story of the episode,
Morty and Jerry go to Pluto after an argument over if it's a planet.
It's pretty funny to see Jerry try to logic his way through the argument.
We see some classic Rick and Morty bits,
like Jerry getting popular, with it going to his head,
and Rick using his knowledge and science to dominate someone.
At the end of the episode is the X gonna give it to ya segment,
which was just a great song to hear,
and seeing Rick and Summer roid up to beat up the Devil made me laugh.
I wanted to stray away from the obvious Pilot episode being best,
because honestly it is, and instead of being an actual episode,
it's more like a 20 minute awesome ad for the show, the hook to bring you in.
Total Rickall.
This is the episode where the Smith family get invaded by Memory Parasites.
We see all kind of one-off characters, and random cut-to stories.
It's very memorable, especially with an ending like it had.
This is the episode we first saw Mr. PoopyButthole, the legend.
In the episode, we see Rick eventually hit his mental limit,
and ends up giving in to the memories, not knowing what's really going on.
He's usually in control of the situation, but this was one, among a few others,
where he was not.
Thankfully, we see a badass Morty moment as he figures out the trick to the Parasites,
and the family take down all the parasites.
Turns out Mr. Poopybutthole wasn't a parasite,
but that brings in theories abut why we never heard from him,
or if he's a super evolved one that doesn't shape shift back when getting shot.
Maybe it's all a ruse and Mr. PoopyButthole is a fake memory.
I hope that's not the case.
We've seen him in every finale sense,
seeing his little story play out bit by bit.
The Rickshank Redemption.
This is the episode where Rick breaks out of the galactic federation prison,
using multiple people bodies, and multiple Ricks to destroy the federation,
and hinder the Citadel fo Ricks,
although he probably wouldn't have cared if the citadel was destroyed.
He easily gets through security, and ends up with high level access to the federation.
Using this, he destroys the economy in a couple clicks,
by removing the value of the Blemflarck, the Federation currency.
This leads to wide-spread riots over money, and rank,
with a funny bit being that pants are the new currency people want.
We also get a callback to season 1, Rick Potion #9, where Rick and Morty came to a new dimension,
and took the place of themselves that just died, burying them in the backyard.
This leads to serious character development for Morty later on.
Edge of Tomorty, Rick Die Rickpeat.
This is the episode where Morty goes all Akira with death crystals,
trying to die old with Jessica.
This leads to multiple badass Morty moments,
along with more one-off type moments with Rick being revived
with Operation Phoenix rerouted to other dimensions.
It gets really meta, with Shrimp Rick asking if our Rick's house is any different,
the joke being really the only thing that changed is the fact that people are Shrimp now,
driving regular cars, living like regular people.
We also see a bunch of funny hologram Rick moments, like the picket line,
and him berrating Morty over what is Real to who.
Rickmurai Jack.
First off, we see some badass Rick and 2 Crows runoff leading into this episode.
The whole episode is packed full of lore, and confirming canon.
We see Rick's memories of his life after Diane, and his true Beth.
The best part of the episode is the closure of the Evil Morty arc.
A very spread out storyline, 1 episode every 2 seasons.
We see how bad Ricks really are.
A whole new set of possibilities was introduced
with the explanation of the central finite curve,
although we don't know what is going to be explored past what we already saw.
We see Rick's character development from the past episode comeback in humility,
and fixing the break between Rick and Morty that happened in that episode as well.
For the most part, it's back to normal now, ready for Season 6.
We don't know the ramifications of what happened yet,
as the episode was left on a cliffhanger with cliffhangers attached to it.
