I'm real glad you made this thread, Hex. It's a really good show, Hex. I think we're going to have a lot of *bwuuup* a lot of fun discussing this show, Hex.
hopefully adult swim produces content at a fairly reasonable rate. I love venture bros to death but the time between seasons is to long
The long timeframes on VB have to do with the guys who actually make the show. They put a ton of time in because they want it to be perfect.
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

The pilot is about an old man sneaking his grandson off to have "adventures", that end with the old man putting seeds up the grandson's butt, and then lying to his parents about it.
Why, yes. I do believe this show has potential.
"Then we're gonna go on even more adventures! And you're gonna keep your mouth shut about 'em, Morty! Because this world is filled with idiots who don't understand, and they'll tear us apart!"

We'll only be able to use this particular plot device like four times, tops.
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Rick And Morty has emerged as a breakaway ratings success out of the gate. It’s a big hit for both Cartoon Network and in its time slot with males under 35, with the most recent episode outdrawing Archer in the same demo (1.5 to Archer's 1.4), and even besting some of NBC’s comedy lineup—including Community. It's also done well with all adult viewers under 50, topping both NBC's Sean Saves The World and The Michael J. Fox Show. Four episodes into its first season, Rick And Morty is probably already assured a renewal with those numbers—something that hasn’t been a given for a Dan Harmon show for a long while.

This show is already rife with terrific one-liners, but I think one of my all-time favorites has to be in the Christmas episode where Rick's hobo experiment buddy mutters "Pearl Harbor" out of the blue.
Noticed this line while re-watching it:
"I don't know how many time I have to say this, if you have the flu, stay home. This dance is about awareness not celebration, you don't bring dead babies to passover..."
Rick and Morty season 2 might actually have a quick turn around compared to Venture Bros due to the animation quality. Venture Bros is stylized and hard edged to give it that pulp comic look.
Rick and Morty are definitely way above ATHF and Squidbillies animation budgets, but you can still see that they could produce the animation fast if they need to.
It's weird, the most I'd heard of this show until today was some vague project Dan Harmon was working on during season 4 of Community. Since seeing this thread, I've read like 5 mentions on reddit and elsewhere about how it's the greatest animated show since Archer. Have I just been missing all the chatter about Rick and Morty, or did something happen to ignite word of mouth recently?
I'm really looking forward to watching an episode or two of it tonight.

It's only four episodes in, so mostly just a word-of-mouth critical mass.
And it reached it real quick!

I kind of half watched the lawnmower dog episode during D&D and liked it, but didn't really give the show a watch until this week. Went back into the DVR and watched last week's episode and that got me hooked. Just lots of brilliant gags and very well crafted so far

I just marathoned the show tonight, episode 6 is heavy stuff. I am really liking the show, some of the lines just trip you right on your face.

So that's what Rick said in that scene. I had to replay that scene a couple of times and I still couldn't make out what he said.
Nice. Do we know how many episodes season one is? Because there's been like 5 so far, and that seems like awfully quick second season confirmation. Good sign of the show's success.

God, the whole show is just eminently quotable, every scene. It's like Super Troopers that way.

I'm shocked that the censors actually let them get away with using the word "9 11" as a verb.
That's probably my favorite individual part of the series so far, but I'm honestly afraid to be the guy bringing it up.
Allah *burp* Ackbar

In the Lawnmower Dog episode
the way the phrase "Allah *burrrp* Ackbar" stumbles out of Rick's lips followed by "We're gonna take control of this plane, we're gonna 9/11 it!"
had me laughing out loud and covering my mouth in shock when I was first watching
I've probably seen each episode a couple times now and I'm still halfway through watching the episodes with my fiancee and none of the jokes have gotten old to me yet
Really surprised and delighted at this show so far
For an absurdist comedy, that last act of #9 was steep.
I mean, Rick was right - he just wanted a damn screwdriver, and Morty whined and whined until he was given the rape sauce he wanted so badly. And... the look on his face, while Rick just meanders around as always and grabs a beverage.
It contextualizes exactly why Rick acts the way he does, and how a person could get to that state... and I empathized with that total monster.
The dad had some fantastic lines this last episode.
"I'm not dying until I catch my wife sleeping with someone else!"
"I'm Mr. Crowbar..and my friend here is also called crowbar"
his daughter Beth, son-in-law Jerry, and granddaughter Summer (none of whom are voiced by Justin Roiland).
But the dad is voiced by Chris Parnell.
It's so weird to go from watching this to watching Archer a few hours later and hearing him as Cyril.
One can only hope this leads to a Rick and Morty cross-over with Archer like they did with Bobs Burgers and Jon Benjamin. Maybe an alternate universe where Jerry is replaced with Cyril. Bonus points if they keep Cyril in Archers art style so he looks completely out of place.

Dad: So my marriage is failing I'm feeling inadequate and I can't fix my gold game.
Cyril: I work for private spy agency that is borderline incompetent, everyone hates me and I haven't gotten laid in years.
Dad: How do you deal with it?
Both: Liquor.

The writer of this show is good.
Crap is after credits scene normal for the show? I only watched on ep 6.
"Those guys are inside you building a piece of shit!"
This was the first episode I saw, I watched it on my honeymoon. INSTANT hooked.
"I'm not dying until I catch my wife sleeping with someone else!"
"I'm Mr. Crowbar..and my friend here is also called crowbar"
That's stupid!
