The WORST Episode of Rick and Morty

  • So, I finally decided to make an actual video instead of posting clips of shows. After 2 whole months of procrastinating and a combined 15 hours of work, it is done.
    In today's video I talk about the absolute WORST episode of Rick and Morty, which is an episode from Season 5 (not season 6) called Rickdependence Spray. Having the lowest rating on IMDB (5.7/10) it is pretty clear that the fandom didn't like the direction this episode was going. Despite all the hate and controversy surrounding it, they have sadly kept the incest theme in some more recent episodes such as Bethic Twinstic. All in all, I'd say the episode had its high points as well, there were a few times where it made me breathe out of my nose but nothing spectacular.
    We have also seen some episodes where the plot has a similar structure to this one. One of those episodes is The Vat of Acid Episode, which is actually my favorite episode in the entire show. Morty does something wrong which leads Rick into teaching him a lesson. However, in Rickdependence Spray Morty is left unpunished unlike The Vat of Acid Episode in which Morty gets traumatized for life.
    Main reason I hate this episode: Morty is treated like God and is left unpunished at the end. Other than that, it's just a mid episode with an almost non-existent subplot.

    Honestly the main reason people hated this episode was because it was "disgusting and tastless" as the writer - Nick Rutherford puts it. The main plot was really weak and the subplot was almost non-existent.
    The really forced continuity of the "incest baby" doesn't do it any favors either.
    I do understand why some people might argue that it's not the WORST episode, but it is definitely one of the weakest episodes in the entire series.

      I think it’s a weird thing to get this upset about anyway. The whole show is disgusting and tasteless, and that’s where a lot of the humor comes from. They’ve been making jokes about sperm, farts, incest, vomit, sodomy, ped0philia, etc. since season 1 and I really don’t see why this episode is supposedly so much worse than all of that.

Why weren’t this many people complaining about gross concepts when morty had his first (of 2) biological child?

    I did not subscribe to this channel, but yet I’m here, did you purchase subs ? The worst episode is the dragon episode

      you could check the channel and see that there are a lot of shorts about rick and morty, maybe that's how you're here

    Rick and Morty fans ruin the show. Y’all care too much about a show that’s doesn’t give a fuck 😂

    i think the whole thing is a great metaphor on toxic masculinity and the impressions of roles within the patriarchy through insentient neglect of educating children about themselves equally by those who suffer from said neglect themselves.

    This episode has a woke anti-male netflix vibe subtext. But the sleeping family episode is much worse

    I honestly don't care about Rick and Morty on how bad it is it's just funny I enjoy watching it all that makes me laugh
