I was watching this Rick and Morty episode with a friend and he started laughing saying it was a really clever joke. I don't get it personally - so yeah he tricked people into thinking his particle beam turned them into snakes but what's so funny about it?
because it's
>lol random xD
Is it just the ridiculousness of it that is funny? Or is there some subtle big brain comedy behind it - something to do with Moses turning canes into snakes. Would make sense as the whole episode was a commentary on religion?
You wouldn't get it.
That's why I made this thread.
No, but my friend does. He's FTM if that matters.
>he
Yes you are. You are overanalyzing a simple joke. It doesn't matter why he did it, it's funny just because he did it.
Literal textbook autism.
You don't get a quick throwaway gag on a cartoon. Instead of either finding it amusing or just not giving a shit you're thinking about it over and over again and asking others to explain it to you obsessively. Pack it in, you're an autistic moron.
>angry mass replying moron noises
he is 100% right though
No you aren't
you really so autistic that you cannot imagine that two separate person can see that you people are super autistic?
but the moron is right tho, if you dont get it or dont find it funny just move on
You have autism
Am I autistic or is my friend just easily amused? I just simply don't understand why he found it so funny, or why it's a running joke in the series.
I watched R&M for the first time last night. The last four episodes in reverse order. ONLY time I laughed was when Morty shot himself. Goddamn, that boy is touched.
>I watched R&M for the first time last night. The last four episodes in reverse order
why the hell would you do that?
the first 2 seasons are really good
I started at the end so I wouldn't need to watch all the boring shit in the middle.
>starting by the last season
what? why?
>The last four episodes in reverse order.
Immensely terrible idea. Start chronologically, like you would any other television series in existence.
You're just malding because I didn't waste years of my life wondering if Rick wold ever beat Rick Prime. Seeing him beaten to death in the first episode you learn that he exists is much more efficient. It's also what Rick himself would do, and you know it.
what the frick? are you autistic or something? entertainment is supposed to be enjoyed, not consumed in the most efficient way possible
Only good entertainment is worth being savoured. With goyslop you just need to know enough about it to fit in with normies. I've seen enough of it now to know there's nothing I care to savour.
going by that logic, why even watch it? just read a wikipedia summary.
season 1 and 2 are the good ones, and they don't have any overarching plot, it's just a series of self-contained adventures. the moment plot was introduced was also when the show became garbage, as it roughly marked the moment when new writers overtook
Best episodes of the series happen after the 3rd season.
It’s not that it’s that the first season is funnier
Why do people assume that what Rick says means theres some deeper meaning ? Its literally written by morons
It's a classic bait and switch gag
Makes you think one thing (he has a transformation ray) then replaces it with another
In this case the humour is derived when the viewer makes the further connection that Rick was not using a non-lethal solution and was instead ruthlessly killing people the whole time
The full process is:
Snakify -> Disintegration --(you think)--> it's just simple murder! there is no clever trick
Being given all the pieces and making that last little connection yourself is what makes it funny
I didn't find it laugh out loud funny, but it was amusing. It's interesting characterization that Rick would go through the trouble, and it's interesting that a writer would be amused enough by this gag to even include it, but I don't think it's laugh out loud funny.
Some peoples' laughter is recognition based. They laugh as a response to their brain connecting the dots, not to the significance of those dots once connected.
Holy shit everyone in this thread is a moron, especially OP
Yeah, you either get it, or you don't no manner of explaining will help you.
I remember when I was at university (doctoral program) I told someone I watched Rick and Morty, they were shocked. Apparently they couldn't understand the sheer nuance and subtly of the jokes. For whatever reason this got brought up in a lecture, I was asked to tell everyone how to interpret the jokes, I dropped that classic joke all us appreciators of R&M love "wubba lubba dub dub" One student laughs, and I looked to the back of the room to see who this fellow genius is. It's none other than Elon Musk
>Rick and Morty
It's the juxtaposition of resorting to a simple magician trick while also using sci-fi gadget to vaporize people.
Additional layers of humor are added by the silliness of such an arbitrary technological limitation despite the viewer and the characters being previously exposed to for more impossible inventions- to a point where they just assumed that turning people into snakes a potability.
>Rick Sanchez is this badass anti-establishment, free thinker punk rock science man!
>he's also BFFs with the US president!
>president's black btw 😉
Can't get more r*ddit than this.
You realize the president literally was black back then, right?
I thought they hated eachother
the joke comes from Rick going to such extraordinary lengths just to get out of family therapy with is daughter while also doing something so outrageously ridiculous as to turn himself into a pickle
