‘The Ricklantis Mixup’ (season three, episode seven) Nerdiest nugget: The episode contains references to many of Rick and Morty’s animated contemporaries: The Simpsons, Futurama and South Park.Ħ. In doing so, the series widened the possibilities for extremity. And then Rick truly revealed himself to be the most malicious, evil, perverse bastard you always feared he might be. Not that the show was going stale – it remained funny, clever and cool – but there was such invention present in seasons prior, that season four’s episodes had felt ordinary by the very high standards the show had set itself.
The arrival of this episode saved season four. ‘The Vat Of Acid Episode’ (season four, episode eight) Nerdiest nugget: Did you think of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight while viewing the post-credits scene? King Jellybean’s horrific crime is also buried to preserve his iconic status within the community.ħ. It’s perhaps, the most sympathetic portrayal of Jerry to date, too. Here we meet Squanchy, Bird Person, Abrodolph Lincoler and Revolio Clockberg, Jr. Not only that, but the episode brings many of the show’s great creations to the fore for the very first time. But ending with a fourth wall-breaking dance number does a whole lot of work.

What quickly transpired was pop culture’s most palatable presentation of ‘ cosmicism‘. When the show came to us in 2014, it seemed like just a zippy pastiche of Back To The Future (which in short film form, it was – with more dick jokes). There are no other shows as consistently inventive, weird, clever, honest, brutal or fucked up as Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon’s creation. Adult Swim’s chaotic adult cartoon Rick and Morty has no peers.
