Well, Morty stopped being a damn baby.
And it was a really good episode of Rick and Morty.
This is a fantastic episode that takesRick and Mortys established tropes and plays with them in really fun ways.
Additionally, it brings in the new premise of Rick going toe-to-toe with someone whos his intellectual equal.
The Ricks Must Be Crazy does a lot of cool twisting of the series usual approach.
Its got that old standby of Morty attempting to challenge Ricks horribleness by retaining a moral code.
In last weeks Get Schwifty, the same concept came off like a boring retread.
Really, Mortys entire arc in this episode is absolutely hilarious.
Fuck you, fuck nature, and fuck trees!
Its not suddenly dark and somber at the end.
Dont get me wrong; I love it when they do that.
However, The Ricks Must Be Crazy handles its darkness in a fresh, smart way.
But it presents all of this while still moving at a breakneck pace and packing jokes in throughout.
Its an episode thats inherently twisted at its core, but laughing about it the whole way through.
The Ricks Must Be Crazy is seriously packed to the gills with just…stuff.
Zeepflorp (or is it Xeepflorp?
), though honestly Nathan Fielders brief role made me laugh harder.
But some jokes that come to mind are That was my daughters pediatrician!
I also liked Go, go Sanchez skis!
though it was the most willfully dumb part of the whole episode.
I love that Summer managed to ruin the best ice cream in the multiverse.
And, finally, theres the tag, which is one of the funniest the shows ever done.
For my money, this is the best episode of season two yet.
But Im being a nitpicking geek.
Ooh la la, someones gonna get laid in college.
