Rick & Morty - Anyone watching this?

This show is hilarious and actually great Sci-Fi.
It's an animated show by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland and it features the adventures of Grandfather Rick and his kinda dumb grandson Morty.

Rick is an eccentric, elderly, alcoholic scientist who has moved in with his veterinary surgeon daughter Beth's family. He spends most of his time taking his young grandson Morty (and later his granddaughter Summer) on dangerous, outlandish adventures throughout the cosmos and alternate universes. Compounded with Morty's already unstable family life, these events cause Morty much distress at home and school.

Each episode (except for the pilot) ends with a post-credits scene that completes each episode

If you like great Sci-Fi and/or Intelligent, subversive, self-aware hilarity... then this is probably a show you should check out.

It's not brand new (just finished 2nd season) but I searched and couldn't see a thread about it.

I guess you can watch full episodes here

Yes! This show is one the best I have seen in a long time.

A few episodes are quite thought provoking too and great fodder for a site like ATS

The episode Rixty Minutes had me in tears - so funny.
So many weird shows, hilarious trailers and crazy stuff.

The amount of creativity and parody in that episode is off the charts lol

Yup it was genius, truly.

LOVE this show!. Best thing to hit Adult Swim in a long time.

this show was based on a satire surrounding an AU Doc and Marty (back to the future) where Doc is an alcoholic sociopath and Marty is an extremely nervous and suggestible sidekick. they go on adventures to alien worlds and alternative dimensions which are essentially creative excuses to take a crap on the real world through a commentary on social and political paradigms.

Yep! Just finished season 2.

Yep...Here's one of the original "Doc and Mharti" they based the series on. NSFW by the way!

Interesting! So it has its origins as a Back To The Future parody of sorts.

Yes! My God that episode was awesome.

What up my glipglops?!

Omg I f**kin love this show! Discovered it by accident surfing the net a few months ago, proceeded to download both seasons and shove it in the face of everyone i know. We don't get adult swim in my country so i consider it a social service to introduce as many people as I can to this brilliant program.

You gotta get schwifty in here!

Kinda, with Doc Brown being an amoral alcoholic sociopath.. It hilarious, but also touches on some pretty deep issues, the SciFi is right on the money too..

I highly recommend "Rick Potion Number 9" from the first season as a primer for the kind of humour, SciFi concepts and existential issues explored by the show.

The dog revolution is the best one.

Snuffles was my slave name. Call me Snowball, because my fur is pretty and white.

Yeah I have been wondering ever since season 1 if someone was gonna bring up this show. I loved every episode so far, and I get depressed when I realize I have to wait for more. Luckilly I still have 3 or 4 episodes from season 2 I haven't seen yet. Episodes 3 thru 6 or somewhere around there. The season 2 finale was crazy with that future prison at the end. "So what did you do to get in here?" "Everything" WhAaaT???

Ha!! Nice, so we definitely have some fans.

Some great clips, cheers guys.


I've been at Blips and Chitz playing Roy

today i visited a couple of threads on ats...


after visiting a "does the sun revolve around the earth or the earth around the sun?/flat earth is real" thread..


after visiting an "evolution is a lie, wake up sheeple!" thread..


after realising there's no point talking to some people...


why does everything i read on this site remind me of this show now? thanks a lot blupblup! xD

Already seen both season 1 and 2. Now we get to wait a year for more : /
