While I thought it was funny, what I got was that Morty hit the switch that had been asked for first - and when it didn't work, he hit the other one. Then he got downdressed for it, and it just wasn't worth his energy to fight it and prove Rick wrong. Then the whole rest of the episode was littered with Rick being wrong, and I felt vindicated.hepcat wrote:The light switch gag alone had me spitting up my drink.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
It was the consequences of hitting that wrong switch that made me laugh. Morty essentially killed a bunch of folks on life support somewhere. So dark.
He won. Period.

OMG!
I am late to this party as usual.
When I discovered Futurama (also late to the party), I binged it as obsessively as I could.
When I discovered Arrested Development, I watched the first three seasons in two weeks.
I feel the same way now.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
We've been binge-watching and are halfway through S2. Enjoying it rather a lot. A few episodes have been clunkers, but when it's on, it's really ON. Abradolph Lincler still makes me chuckle.

Hey, Smoove how did Turkey Day Munchkin go? I saw an ad for Deck building game licensed as "Close Encounters of the Rick Kind" and I was thinking that would have been the way to go for a themed game.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I thought it was a good time. Trent hit level 9 within the first 30 minutes of the game and then spent the rest of the time getting stymied by everyone. He wasn't amused, but I sure was. RM9 pulled out a stealth win and there was lots of yelling. The cards are great - filled with quotes and art from the show. I'm hoping they release more, but as a beer-and-pretzels night of gaming, I think it worked for us. I also don't think we'd play it all the time, but just based on the theme it was enjoyable.
And yes, there are like 12 different Rick and Morty games - I also own Total Rickall, which is fun as a filler. I'd seen the Close Encounters game, but was waiting for reviews/impressions before I made a decision.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I have yet to see any of season 3, but the purge episode has got to be my favourite, and that's all because of the power suits, Morty threatening to smear Rick's guts all over his face, only to be tazed by a bored looking Rick as he casually looks away.
Plus, the music during the rich people slaughter, followed by the dancing in pools of blood.

It didn't help that the game was thrown by the other participant. One of the WORST BS outcomes to something we played EVER (but maybe not as bad as the Bridge Battle).
But it was fun.

Until you actually play a Plumbus card on someone, I don't think you can really say you've played Munchkin.

I bought the R&M deck building game but we haven't played it yet. I bought it to hold me over until Gloomhaven came out and then gloomhaven came out like a week later...

The fast food restaurant said Thursday that it will ship 20 million packets of Szechuan sauce to all of its restaurants in the U.S.
McDonald's then reintroduced the sauce in October, but its release was clouded by chaos at stores as fans protested over a lack of supply.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
No news about the next season, but there's going to be a comic book co-written by Patrick Rothfuss coming out in August - Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons.
In this epic crossover, Morty turns to his grandfather for help in understanding the popular role-playing game after it becomes all the rage at his school. Rick, being Rick, it's not long before the entire Smith family is dragged into an epic fantasy realm. It's a premise that reminds us of Community's D&D-themed episodes, which is fitting since Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon also created that series.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
HR
Rick and Morty fans won't have to worry about renewals for quite a while. Adult Swim just handed out a 70-episode order of the cult cartoon.
Described as a "longterm deal," albeit without any announced time frame, the order is for more than double the count of episodes Rick and Morty has already produced to date.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
So I rectified that situation.
Is it just me or is season 3 a lot angrier than the first 2? I don't mean Rick specifically although there is an element to him as well, but just the general tone and outlook seems to have gone from cynical, narcissistic humour to angry, cynical, narcissistic humour.
I found it a bit off putting. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot to like and some aspects of the season are the most brilliant yet, but it went from the equivalent of funny uncle making humorous, cynical observations at the dinner table to less funny uncle after a few beers, angrily muttering to himself about how the {insert racial slur here} are the reason he lost his job at the plant.
Am I imagining things? Am I alone in this?

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I found it to be a lot darker in tone, but I didn't really associate that with anger in general.
Presumably, four years from now we'll have a thread called [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty: None More Black.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
It was definitely darker, but didn't they warn us of that at the end of Season 2? Or was it the end of Season 3 that warned us it was going to get even darker in Season 4?

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I'm sure Dan Harmon's divorce was part of it, but the infamous "Pickle Rick" episode was one of the darkest, heaviest ~22 minute cartoons I've seen in a long time. Not the pickle part (of course), but the why of the pickle and the subsequent discussion with the therapist.
So no, it's no you.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
It's always been very dark and angry. I don't think it really stepped out to push any new boundaries until the eye patch Morty follow up episode. There wasn't a whole lot of humor in its dark and angry for that episode.
I do think season 3 took itself a bit more serious with eye patch Morty being the pinnacle of that bit of movement and the season opener being the least of which with tones of Jerry helpless depression tainting everything. I think the dog and the employment check was the last funny depressing bit before the funny deflated in to just... sad.
The Solenya episode, I thought was pretty typical and the therapist office was absolutely great. Meeting all three of the funny, the dark and angry, and the absurd meeting deconstruction of a cartoon turning in on its own examination.

I want to say season 3 warned us there was going to be reset but that Rick was not going be sympathetic.

Re: [Adult Swim] Rick and Morty
I'm not talking about the subject matter.
It's like they were making dead baby jokes for 2 seasons, but in season 3 you got the feeling that they really hated all those babies and were glad they were dead. ha ha!
