I was thinking about this scene in Total Rickall, and man, this would NOT happen today. Morty went from panicking during an alien experiment to calmly telling a group of mobsters that Rick's going to kill them if they don't treat him like a king.

I think this scene/comment from Summer is the reason Rick goes so hard on Jerry for being unemployed? This episode shows Rick's need for approval and company in general, but I can't help but feel that this line in particular hit a nerve for him. Just look at his reaction.

Apart from Doofus Rick's conversation with Jerry in Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, Jerry's unemployment isn't mentioned at all until Rick decides to use it as an insult in Total Rickall.

We then see both Summer and Beth have picked this up in Look Who's Purging Now.

This might not have been intentional, but I 100% believe that Rick got his feelings hurt by Summer pointing out his unemployment near the end of S1 and decided to start lashing out at Jerry for being unemployed shortly after in S2 to take the spotlight off himself.

Sorry not sorry, but this is the sexiest moment of the show, hands down. Rick on his knees? Morty standing there with his heart in his throat, hands shaking, staring into Rick’s crazed eyes and wondering if he has it in him? Rick spitting in the face of death, fucking DARING it to come take him? Hoping and fearing in equal measure that this will be the end, because he doesn’t have the balls to do it himself but maybe, maybe Morty does? Please. I can’t take it. Give me more.

So I’m rewatching Total Rickall (cuz it’s my go to for any RnM rewatch) and does anyone else wonder if sleepy Gary wanted to be an actual human and not a parasite? Like he looked genuinely sad when Jerry didn’t want to kiss him back… also why would a parasite put a memory of them making out if they didn’t want it to be real??? And he wasn’t really trying to run away when the Smiths were shooting the other parasites, he was just kind holding onto Jerry and was genuinely terrified… like yeah he defended some of the other parasites but those were technically his real family so that’s understandable rlly… also the fact that he immediately started comforting Jerry makes me think that he genuinely cared abt him and saw all those fake memories as real even tho he created those fake memories. Also when he made Jerry have a flashback he didn’t create another parasite he just wanted Jerry to remember when they made out

sometimes when i'm really bored i don't even put on episodes i try to see how much i can memorize in my head until it draws a blank

[tinkerbitch69]

Seriously I think the similarity between the concepts of these episodes is hilarious. Begs the question has Dan Harmon seen torchwood? The public needs to know!

I’m personally team torchwood but I wanna see what tumblr thinks.

Unmortricken VS Total Rickall

[jerry-enthusiast]

I just realized something about the Total Rickall parasites

They weren't evil. It might've been written out for them to LOOK like antagonists, but they only had 2 goals; Spreads fake POSITIVE memories, and multiply.

They only way they could've been dangerous was if they overpopulated the planet, which at that point why not just send them to an unpopulated planet?

THEY SHOT SLEEPY GARY OVER FUCKING NOTHING!!!

The last Rick and Morty episode made me lose my mind. I’m now laughing way more over the “Omega Detergent” joke from the VR game since we now know the ultimate weapon is called the “Omega Device”

How does that retroactively make the game so much funnier

Here’s my note before I’ll get started….

On This Day - Mar. 18th, 2020

Thought this random art post can give me an idea for color palette concepts. Or just the way when trying on Summer Smith’s other imagination characters that we seen on Rick and Morty’s episode “Total Rickall.”

BTW, I’ve seen in past news for Justin Roiland’s firing due to unacceptable things he’s done. Now that he departed ways from Adult Swim, it’ll be different to find a new actor to take a role with. Hard to tell it’ll be worth it, so I would move something else.

Day in Fandom History: August 16…

The house is filled with alien parasites that can play mind games on the Smith-Sanchez Family, which leads Rick to put the house under lockdown until the situation is under control, but it looks like things go awry “Total Rickall” premiered on this day, 9 Years Ago.

Counting the # of times each R&M character sits in each chair around the dining table

I've always found it funny that the whole family is always sitting in different chairs around the dining table (my family, and I'm sure many others, have unofficial 'assigned' seats at the table), so on my latest rewatch of the show, I kept track of the number of times each character sat in each particular chair. (Please keep in mind that while I tried my hardest to count every single time and record them as accurately as I could, it's entirely possible I made mistakes/mixed something up).

Firstly, this is how I numbered the chairs:

Most common chair everyone sat in:

Jerry: Seat #1 (17 times)

Morty: Seat #2 (14 times)

Space Beth: Seat #2 (5 times)

Rick: Seat #4 (10 times)

Beth: Seat #4 (15 times)

Summer: Seat #6 (17 times) 

Chart of the Total Counts:

Important Note:

Sometimes there's only one seat on the side facing the window, so for consistency it is counted as #6.

When there are three seats on the 2-3 side, the middle seat is counted as #3.

More statistics/notes are listed below!

Additional characters: 

Leonard sat in seat #2, Joyce in seat #3, and Jacob in seat #5 one time (Anatomy Park)

Uncle Steve (parasite) sat in seat #4 one time (Total Rickall)

Mr. Poopybutthole sat in seat #6 one time (Total Rickall)

The President sat in seat #1 one time (Thanksploitation Spectacular)

Misc. Notes

In Rattlestar Ricklatica: Rick (seat 4), Morty (seat 3), & Summer (seat 5) are sitting at the table playing downbeat. This is included in misc. count, since it doesn't fall under the breakfast/dinner categories.

Mr. Nimbus sits in seat 4 (?) and Rick in seat 1 (?) during Mort Dinner Rick Andre; it’s difficult to tell though since the table is facing a different direction (these are not included in the total count).

Unnamed girl from Vat of Acid montage sat in seat #3 once. The chairs the rest of the family sat in during this scene is counted under the misc. category, since once again, it wasn't during a meal but they were still sitting around the table.

I made note of the decoy families during Mortyplicity, but these are not included in the total counts:

Decoy family #1: Morty: #2, Rick: #3, Beth: #4, Summer: #5 Decoy family #2: Summer: #2, Beth: #3, Rick: #4, Jerry: #5, Morty: #6  Decoy family #3: Morty: #2, Summer: #5, Beth: #6

The family from Jerry’s original dimension at the end of Solaricks is included in the total, as well as the one scene from when Morty was in the Fear Hole and they were all eating breakfast. (Generally, I included alternate families, flashbacks, montages, etc. in the total count if it was shown on-screen for more than a couple seconds, otherwise I'd make note of it seperately.)

There are several flashbacks in Unmortricken when Evil Rick and Morty show up in random homes while the family is seated around the table, shooting Rick and tranquilizing Morty. I didn't include these in the total, but listed them here:

Normal alt. dimension: Jerry: #1, Morty: #2, Rick: #3, Beth: #4, Summer: #6 Victorian dimension: Jerry: #1, Summer: #3, Beth: #4, Morty: #5, Rick: #6 Long sleeves dimension: Rick: #2, Morty: #3 (others can't be seen)

Rick and Morty eating burritos at the table in Rickfending Your Mort is counted under misc. since again, it's not breakfast or dinner.

Note about seat numbers:

This is already mentioned above, but sometimes certain seats are missing or there are extra seats; generally, this is when Space Beth is there, and there are three seats on one side. Sometimes, there is only one seat on the side facing the window.  

For example, in the following scene, I counted both Beth and Summer as seat #3 because there are 3 seats on that side temporarily. There was one other case where this happened, and I did the same then as well.

Heres a photo of one of the most common seating arrangements I noticed (excluding Space Beth):

Well, thats all I have! Hope you guys found this data at least a little interesting! :)

After last week's brutal episode, "Rickfending Your Mort" was pure silly fun. I love the lore episodes, but serialized shows that grow increasingly dark get exhausting after a while.

While many shows (Breaking Bad, The Sopranos) grow darker until the last season is pitch black, Rick and Morty has lightened up a tad. That sounds bizarre after the last episode featured Rick beating the man who killed his wife and daughter to an unrecognizable pulp, but it's lighter in the sense that Rick's growing up and abandoning his need to be the world's smartest edgelord.

Similar episodes, such as "Total Rickall" and "Morty's Mindblowers," show Rick at his worst. Here, Rick isn't exactly at his best, but most of the scenes lean away from "cruel" and more toward "dumb and goofy."

Plus, he and Morty have some genuine bonding moments. "I don't like that he's talking down to you!" "Thank you."

Rick and Morty might have disliked the Observer, but he cracked me up. His voice, his pettiness, the fact that he hovered outside the house to antagonize them--and his design is great, too. Rick's a man who collects crystals every third episode, so I don't know why he had a problem being surrounded by crystals and geodes.

"Rickfending Your Mort" had a few cameos for long-term fans. I'm glad that Space Beth's still hanging around, and her clip showed that she really is her father's daughter. Jerry's reaction to his clip reiterated that he's the most shameless person in the family. Rick acts like he is, but nah--he gets embarrassed.

On another note, this episode surprised me because I totally thought that the final scene was the beginning of another episode: Morty encourages Rick to get out of the house, and shenanigans ensue.

The title reveal showed a picture of Blips and Chitz, leading people to speculate that "Rickfending Your Mort" was a follow-up to "Rick: A Mort Well Lived." Honestly, I think that was a one-off. Morty's already recovered from Marta's absence; he argues with Rick, challenges him and calls him out instead of rolling over and doing whatever he wants.

Morty even took initiative here, which is refreshing because earlier episodes made him a glorified side character. He saw first-hand what killing Prime did to Rick and wants to cheer him up in a language that Rick understands: wild adventures.

Rick doesn't know how good he's got it. "Unmorticken" made it pretty clear what happened when another Morty found his Rick drunk on the garage floor.

Talking to Dr. Wong must be helping because Rick was able to bounce back from this one. Morty had to nudge him out of it, but minutes after the Observer arrived, Rick was his usual snarky self and hanging out with his grandson again.

Letting go isn't Rick's strong suit, but Prime Rick and his original wife and daughter are gone forever. He needs to be here for the family that he has now. Morty and Summer are basically his kids. He has three girls that he can't say no to. Even he and his Jerry are close.

And now that he's endured a clip show with the most annoying geode in the universe, maybe he can stop watching his life and start living it.

For @bisexualricks ask game :)

1. Top 5 favorite episodes and why

- Rest and Ricklaxation - it’s a pretty fun episode and has some of my favorite versions of Rick and Morty! It’s really the first time we get a clear confirmation that Rick does care about Morty a lot more than he pretends to. Also Detox Morty is goofy and a hyper mess, like he could not sit still when he went to dinner with Jessica and I love him so much for that little detail

- Unmortricken - I had trouble between picking this or Fear No Mort, but I had to pick Unmortricken for a few different reasons. First of all, Evil Morty finally gets more screen time. Evil Rick finally gets more screen time. Rick Prime finally gets more screen time. Also there were definitely some implications of EMorty wanting to friends with Morty but in deep denial abt it. He looked sad while in his snow globe… also everything that happened with prime, and Rick needing a lot more therapy and feeling empty even tho he got his long awaited revenge.

- Look Who’s Purging Now - Morty being bad ass Morty being bad ass Morty being bad ass Morty being bad ass Morty being bad a

- Total Rickall - it’s another fun episode where Morty also takes charge and kicks ass. Cuz let bffr if Morty hadn’t figured out the bit with it only being happy memories the family would’ve been screwed. Also it was the first time that the show had confirmation of supporting LGBTQ with Jerry and Sleepy Gary (if only he had been real and not a parasite)

- Get Schwifty - firstly, the debut of the president who has been a pretty fun character throughout the show! Also it explores a lot of Rick and Morty’s relationship and how Rick does really care about him and can be kind of hopeless without Morty around. Also that scene where Morty is with BP and there’s the picture of Rick holding up Morty as a baby and looking insanely happy at having a grandson

There are a lot more episodes that I love, like the heist one, Fear No Mort, and Rickfending Your Mort! But these were just the first ones that came to mind
