The real answer is that it was surprise released on April Fools that year, months before the season started airing normally. The fact that it still got more viewers than regular episodes get now is pretty insane.
The show got high off sniffing it’s own farts and it no longer felt like Rick and Morty as a consequence. It became a parody of what it used to be in trying to appeal to fan theories and having a “will they wont they” on the whole “serialized vs episodic debate” instead of just going balls deep.
I miss when Rick and Morty was a semi-improvised wacky sci fi adventure between a senile old crackpot scientist and his poor idiot grandson. Yes I understand the show had to change, And no, I don’t DESPISE the newer shit. I personally loved Rick and Morty when it ripped on pretentious sci-fi without being all in your face about it as opposed to now where they’re so in your face about pop culture references and how meta they are.
Also I don’t care what you say, The space Beth episode isn’t that fricking deep. Beth is a narcissistic sociopath who wants to frick the idealized version of herself. I don’t know why so many people are framing this as a revolutionary message when learning to love and accept yourself is a pretty well tread territory, Just because the show re-enacted your cuck doesn’t make the message deeper than what is literally happening.
If the show stayed exactly the same, especially after season 2 with its “””lore Implications”””” fans would have b***hed and moaned about it, It’s the nature of things to change, I just wish the show didn’t sell its soul to do so.
I feel like the show would benefit from an episode like “Homers enemy”
Where some normal guy just barges in and absolutely tells off the characters and how far the show has fallen from its novel roots. I feel like while the writers like to act cynical and meta, They aren’t too critical of themselves.
While I appreciate the Therapist scene, I feel like it’s more of a (well deserved) “Frick you” to the fans who identify with Rick. I want an actual brutal dismantlement of everything the show has come to represent after season 2
It's not subversive or funny any more given how ridiculous the real world has gotten. Shock comedy only works when there's order in society, otherwise it's just an uncomfortable reminder that everything sucks
What happened with s3e1?
accidentally released episode
Everybody watched it already
It was accidentally aired in Portuguese dub

samurai jack episode got swapped out with rick and morty for le ebin april fools
It was screened on April fools day without warning, so most people likely watched it involuntarily
Random XD - well that just happened - pop culture reference - tier humour
As with most things, women ruined it
beth x beth was the best episode in a while though, and sarah chalke talking to herself made roiland look like an anime dubber
>beth x beth was the best episode in a while though
possibly the worst episode of the entire series
at least bawd Dragons and Giant Sperm had a few laughs to go with the awful A stories.
Bollocks. I have no desire to watch R&M after this.
The show is now just a soapbox for the people behind it's weird sex fetishes and trying to tell a le deep story
The Bethcest episode didn't have a single joke
>The Bethcest episode didn't have a single joke
unironically not smart enough to understand it
>unironically not smart enough to understand it
>tfw they literally subjected us to Dorkly tier humor on top of this episode of Cuck-a-me street
Show's creator is an unfunny alcoholic.
You would know.
Season 3

Like, I thought the Beth episode was funny but Christ. I don’t want to see your video essays on “Princess Twincest” in my feed

You can see the exact moment when they added women writers.
Pickle Rick. Unsurprisingly nihilism cannot sustain anything.
how long until it's cancelled
This show feels like it's in a weird limbo of being irrelevant and still having popularity.

Pickle Rick therapist moment

>What went wrong?
It only existed to provide us with this, after that it was irrelevant
