But the thing is, it IS that deep.. while also being crude, silly and ridiculous. That's what makes Rick and Morty so great ❤️

I think your analysis of Rick's scene in the garage at the end was spot on. He was surely keeping that little blob creature for some selfish purpose just like the alien Jerry and Beth found in the basement. After the breakup with Unity he had a moment of pity and respect for lesser minds and their sovereignty, and decided to free it of its constant suffering. Then he wanted to end his own suffering but accidentally passed out. He'll be back to his usual self next episode.

Haha, yeah I think the small creature must've been some result of a life-creating experiment or something that he did sometime when he was bored. Turned out horrible and suffering so does he end its existance then and there? No, he freezes it until he has a use for a creature to kill. I think he was testing that the deathray machine was working properly before turning it on himself, a good scientist always does a test run first (plus you don't wanna fail when your goal is suicide...). I never thought he passed out, I always thought he changed his mind at the last second and I don't think this is the first time he's tried checking out but can't. Interesting thought and makes good sense that he would pass out there, instead.

Although I don't think Rick or anybody in particular can just "switch" back to "normality", I think this is part of who Rick is and he just carries it around.

interesting ideas, I believe Rick passed out because he had been partying overtime for possibly several days(?), you can see he was passed out through the night and into the morning not having moved with the garage door open the entire time. We all can think what we like about what that was about. Rick obviously looked sad and he was alone so it's unlikely that he was putting on a show, it should have been a private moment so there would be nothing there but honesty.

The thing about mixing drama and comedy is that when the drama does land, it lands harder than it normally would. They know what they're doing. This isn't the last time they do it either.

The ending of this episode absolutely gets me every time I watch it, mostly because I've been where Rick is. Life is hard, and getting through even a single day can be a struggle. I totally get the impulse to keep yourself numb and feeling nothing, because the alternative is facing the way you truly feel, which can be the scariest thing in the world.

There's definitely a "turn your brain off and laugh" low level of humor as well as above-par "turn your brain back on to figure out why this is funny" level of humor. They try to draw each episode and season around the concept of the Hero's Journey, so you are seeing deep character development. Everything is drawn from the experiences of many writers working on the show together.

That "show" Unity creates for Rick is Dan Harmons other show called "Community" which you should def react to and its sooo good.

@10:49 that tv show is a reference to the show "Community" which Dan Harmon also wrote for. if you watch that show you'll see a lot of consistency in how Dan Harmon writes his characters and stories. There are a lot of similarities between Rick and Jeff (one of the main characters of Community) when it comes to their beliefs and personality.

Community would also be a great show to see her react to.

My theory about the machine is that it kills you in every dimension. I think the little guy was the test subject, probably a creature whose life is pain or something, to test it. He finds it successful and is going to destroy all the ricks in the finite curve, but passes out first.

the ending music is amazing… i too felt rick was sorry for the little cronenberg before he turned it to dust, that little pet was sweet

That was a really great take on the suicide scene. I think that is something most people probably FEEL in the scene, but you did a real good job verbalizing it. And that's part of what makes this show remarkable, they are able to convey meaning and emotional context without spelling it out yet still clearly making the point.

Oh wow, thanks! I'm happy to read this because before posting this I was like: "People are going to laugh, lol" 😂

Some fans believe that the little critter Rick destroys at the end is from the world that he Cronenberged. He was keeping it to experiment on it in hopes of fixing what he did there (after all, the Rick whose place he took in this world was able to do it). Destroying it meant that he was giving up on that idea. Others say that Rick was about to commit mass suicide with that device. It would not only destroy him, but ALL the Ricks in the multiverse. I'm not sure where this theory comes from.

The show Rick is commenting on is "Community," a real show created by Dan Harmon.

Great talk at the end! I think you’re pretty spot on tbh. I’ve seen the show multiple times now but it truly does continue to surprise upon each rewatch. I love all of the letters Unity left for Rick, very sad stuff in there. This episode is def sad overall, the show is good at taking it to those serious places. Greeeaaat video!!!!!!

has anyone noticed how much the song at the end contributed to the emotions? kudos to the band (chaos chaos).

I truly love this show. I found it when I was in treatment for mental health and addiction problems and Rick helped me alot and just to laugh kept me from giving up. It's wierd to think that a show with drug abuse and something as serious as suicidal tenderizes can bring someone like me back and give me hope. Love your channel

Hey, I love Rick and Morty and honestly a guilty pleasure of mine is reaction channels so when I stumbled on this series I've found myslef hooked and bing watching it with you. It's really nice to watch it with someone who apprechiates the writing for what it is. Too much of the fan base just takes it for its outter layer and misses so many deeper meanings and it's nice that you catch on to it and give the writers credit for the work they have done. I myself have been praising them for what they have produced since season one and I'm glad your getting the full value out of the show. (as well as a penutbutter and jelly sandwhich from time to time) keep up the hard work, can't wait to join you through season 5!

Solid reaction! I think you're the first person I've seen react to this episode and have a solid grasp on the ending with the little creature and Rick attempting to kill himself.

I watch these kind of reactions because I enjoy seeing how others react to the things I love. Whether it is on KZread, theater or in my living room. Keep up the great job! I love watching you and your mothers faces. Good luck.

I love your reactions and your goofy “hi…. it’s me..” intros! Yeah this is a pretty dark episode. It shows that not even Rick is immune to that pain and hopelessness that we all feel when the object of our affection is no longer available to us. It can’t really be put into words and we can’t make it stop, even if we see why we are better off. As far as Rick’s sexuality, I always imagined he’s straight, but not against being involved in group sex where there are also other men.

It would've been nice to have been introduced to the cat and not the couch the cat was sleeping on.. Señor Sanchez is dressed that way because he's a hedonist with planetary resources, which means planetary-level parties and sexual encounters (sometimes literally, stay tuned..) The previously frozen creature under the desk most likely had the same infection as the chained prisoner in the underground lair, and was now incurable due to the loss of patient zero for cure studies. More Wubba Lubba Dub Dub to come, might want to hold on to those suicide prevention screens. And a barely early congrats on 6K ❤️

Background Cat automatically elevates any reaction.

It is that deep :) that’s the amazing duality of the show

It is supposed to resonate like that, that's the beauty of the show. Just like Rick, it's fun and crude, but behind that it's pained. I can only imagine the minds of the writers, and I kind of comiserate. That's why I love this show so much. Great reactions!

Wubba dubba lub lub . . .he isolates himself to prevent harm from his loved ones but in doing so destroys any hope of meaningful relationships. The aftermath of birdpersom's wedding cores me every time.

This show is so good, that I've made a promise to myself, since S04E05 to only watch it while on acid (250μg), since some of the writers use it to literally create it, and since acid lasts for about 12 hours I usually binge 5 episodes at a time, I don't know if anyone else besides me has this kind of a ritual, but it's definitely worth it for a show as tremendous as this one

Rick and Morty really have a knack for gallows humor. Imagine what it is like to have the knowledge to do almost ANYTHING that a human can survive, except for sustain a part of a healthy relationship? Imagine being perceptive enough to realize that of all the things which Rick can do in the universe, the one thing that he is an utter, miserable failure at is what nearly every other human does naturally. I'd be suicidal too.

y’all he was going to cure the creature but the other one from the dungeon escaped making it impossible so to put it out of his misery he shoots it with the death ray to kill it in all universes where it exists. he then tries to kill himself but passes out because of the random liquid he drank

It's a comedy but I think they can often be the deepest fiction. Tragic characters are also common in this (or does that make it tragicomedy?) Rick lives the epitome of existential depression. He knows there's infinite universes so basically nothing really matters, except personally. He's lost all his loved ones except for Beth and the grandkids, so he's emotionally miserable on top of the purposelessness he can't avoid being aware of and he's not even particularly proud of his family. (He's proud of Beth, personally, but disappointed she married Jerry and while he loves the grandkids, he doesn't respect them or their intelligence, as half of that comes from Jerry.) Having this family left still anchors him to his humanity, so he can't even escape that, by suicide or by changing himself into something that doesn't care.

Just noticed that discussion line about Rick's sexuality. Good question after this episode. I'd say he's represented as fully heterosexual, as we don't really see him show any romantic or sexual emotions toward male characters. Even Unity is mostly presented through female persons, so I think the sexual contact he has with her male persons is for him a kink. Like the giraffe. Like the crazy adventures and drugs and partying he likes to do, due to his depression he needs to take all experiences to the max. I suppose this could make him pansexual like Deadpool, but I don't think that's the case for him. He's not that hypersexual as a character, he's just super non-judgemental, again getting back to that existential depression and his thinking that moral judgement is naive.

Great analyzing!!

everyone has a moment of weakness in life,guess that was his and now he´s back to his old self.

season 5 you see how he reconnects with "HIS" family

your voice is so asmr....love it

This was one of my favorite rick and morty episodes

Best reaction so far

No, you're on point. That's why we all like Rick and Morty Season 1 & 2. They show and talk about very complex subject matter, but hide it with stupidity. There's a lot of serious topics on this show if you think about it: Failing marriage, Daddy issues, family dysfunction, emotional manipulation, etc. So suicide isn't out of pocket.

While theres plenty of immature humor in the show, theres a lot of scientific, social and philosophical threads buried within the show. Its not there on the surface, but if you recognize the behavior, you can find it. Nothing they do on this show is an accident. If you think you saw something, you absolutely did. You're just one of the ones that caught it :)

i would like to explain why it is that deep, but, I'm too occupied with hating your cat to think clearly. love the the videos, u keep making them and I'll keep watching them. wubalubadubdub.

That was very nice to put the national suicide prevention number at the end of the video. I hope it was unnecessary but if it was necessary then I'm glad, if that makes sense.

I have a theory I came up with right before the 2nd season finale. I think that the Main Rick we follow, and Evil Morty are the other. As in, they were each other's Orginals, and then brain-swapped at some point. He met Unity, thought she'd be able to swap them back and couldn't, and the blob creature at the end was his first attempt at making a Morty body without a mind. And this all brought it back for him. Cause the Mortiest Morty wouldn't be willing to put another Morty through what he's going through m

That kitty is so cute- sorry this is a year behind- I only now found your channel

On the topic of dealing with suicidal feelings, depression, and emotional trauma, you would probably enjoy reacting to "To This Day" by Shane Kroyczan and the Short Story Long. I probably misspelled his name, but it is close enough to pull up. If it doesn't make you emotional you are no longer human.

I think a lot of fans take this show very seriously, maybe too seriously so you are perfectly fine with how you are treating it right now. It is deep and many parts are there to make us think and introspect, however as you see in the later seasons, every single minute detail doesn't have a hidden meaning.

👍👍 Rick and Morty is definitely a show that wants you to read through the lines.

"why did they segregate" It just illustrates how stupid racism is, that people separate themselves based on unimportant things.

Rick has a very valid reason for being in such pain, not just the crippling loneliness, wait til the end of season 5

This scene had me messed up when i first saw it. Someone who can have it all is still unhappy so whats the point of living. Its such a deep concept

This is the episode I resonate the most with. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I'm pretty sure I understand.

See, Rick realized that his only chance at love was with being on such a higher plane of existence, that he was going to spent the remaining part of his life alone. having that kind of epiphany shortly after getting dumped is enough to throw anyone into the deep end emotionally. And with Rick high intelligence, the consequences of his actions in life and the futility of trying to build a family became apparent to him. He is his own greatest obstacle.

Don't worry about one of the Ricks killing himself. There are plenty more Ricks - don't forget Rick goes around killing other Ricks now and then too.

I don't know how true this is but I've heard the machine rick almost killed himself with don't only kill you but all versions of you, so if he would have died all ricks from all universes would too, but that could easily just be a made up theory

Very good reaction

This episode snd the episode where they bury the dead version of themselves imo were the episodes that really made this show what it is. I like them all but these 2 episodes were so fn deep they make any other animated show look shallow.

It's funny cuz it is that deep. Rick is a seemingly narcissistic sociopath but in reality he's just trying not to get too attached because at any moment he could lose his current family all over again and start from scratch. He's a depressed lonely asshole who wants to feel good so he does a bunch of crazy shit all the time. And besides all the sci-fi adventures and raunchy humor, this is the reason the show has continued to be so popular. Because the emotional depths that the creators of the show go to for the characters. That's why so many relate to Rick, he's a fuck up depressed piece of shit, just like the rest of us... But also like super intelligent and dope.
