Rick and Morty's Best Episode Ever: "Total Rickall" 

The Ricklantis Mixup

The vat of acid episode

This one. “Marmalade is served”

@@Joel-FBUC I think it's the lowest rated episode but it's also my favorite.

Definitely the one with the micro/mini -verse , specially the part when the are greeting the aliens in the micro verse.

this must have been a very confusing first episode

Who starts on the second season

@@BrokieTheJokie It was playing on a plane screen I always start everything from the start but it looked cool

@@BrokieTheJokie I mean, the first episode I ever saw was the first episode of season 3 when they stuck it in Samurai Jack’s time slot

First episode I ever saw was get swifty when it was on TV. I only found the rest of the series a few years later on Netflix.

See, now I NEED to go back and re-watch season 1 and 2 to see if that is the deal.

Still can't belive Beth shoot and completely crippled him, he just wanted to participate in the Olympics.

@Travis Griffin u missed the joke

Haha funny

Yeah, I like this show, Rick and Mr. PoopyButthole. This Morty "kid" is pretty odd though.

Tbh i think that the artists were given a lot of freedom to draw whatever they wanted... especially for the mid part of the episode when there's like a hundred of them.

I’m sure they had a wheel with characters concepts and just kept spinning while writing the episode

Literally my two favorite episodes

Morty’s character growth in that episode is fantastic

You are actually speaking the language of god

Mine favourite is ricklatis mixup it's just such a genius episode

@@FlipFlopGod oh shut up.

I think I've watched Tales from the Citadel at least 3x as much as any other episode. So much about it just blows my mind. Way to take the idea of parallel realities to the extreme and beyond.

Very much agree. I rarely rewatch the other episodes, but I watch Tales from the Citadel every couple of months

That being said, I want to know what happens with evi- President Morty. I get that R&M successfully subverts expectations, but dammit daddy wants some closure.

My favorite episode as well

Tales is my favorite.

Whether intentional or not, I think that's is the _"moral"_ of this episode. I think Harmon has commented on this scene about what you said, so it probably was intentional.

I think part of the fun is knowing who's the parasite, but seeing the characters interact with them oblivious to the fact.

This was my first episode of the show. I remember being confused the entire time, yet I was completely enthralled by it.

I feel like even if this was the first episode of the show I ever saw it would still be clear early on that Rick and the Smiths are real characters, as the story still centers on their perspective of events

This was the second episode I watched right behind the vat of acid. But still was confused as heck,

haha my friend showed me this episode and got me hooked

@@DyslexicMitochondria Sup bro I watch ur channel. Love ur content

I was on a work trip to San Antonio, TX, and I saw this episode one night. Got me right in. I couldn't stop talking about it at work the next day, and I still love this episode.

That or meseeks in my opinion.

Also coincidentally the first one I ever saw

But the problem is. We know that he wasn’t there for the actual memories. He wriggled his way into them. Using the holes in the memories. I’m pretty sure Dan Harmon said that Mr PBH is an advanced sort of parasite that instead of creating memories it puts itself in ones that have holes.

@@benma1116 How do we know that...? Infinite timelines. Different episodes might not even follow the original rick and morty.

@@trequor good point. Guess we'd just have to take Harmon's word for it.

I think that certain episodes, like this one, should follow different characters in another universe... at least for the sake of continuity. Both Beth and Jerry had a lifetime of memories being in love with Sleepytime Gary and it just doesn't make sense that he's never brought up again and that this never affects their relationship going forward. It makes a lot more sense if the rest of the series is about different characters, sometimes in C-137, but not always

stop

His mental state never gets much better.

Oh my god

Bro why

So what ur saying is rick did this to commit suicide by morty?

Exactly.

He’s not the cause of the bad memory though, he’s simply present for the moment. All the other bad memories are one character doing harm to each other, like Summer getting hit by Beth or groining Morty.

@@jbcatz5 yes, but he is the one talking about the memory, and parasites can only talk about good fake memories, as shown by the refrigerator parasite.

That was a fake memory, created by another parasite. It wasn't real.

​@@arthurfortes8398 It's explained by Morty as being "bad memories" but it seems more like the parasites just can't make memories that can make the real characters disliking them. The memories can be "bad" considering the situation (i.e. trapped in an elevator) but they're considered "good" because of the parasite characters in it (i.e. cousin Nicky saving them). Another example could be when they were captured by a nazi and were saved by the butler. Or it could be that the conclusion of the memory has to be good. The memories that proved real characters were "bad" memories with how Beth ruined Summer's eye, and how Summer kicked Morty, etc. These memories can't be considered "good" other than if you would consider any reasons for any character developent "good", so that's how Morty explained it.

Yes, very strong Paradigms of Human Memory vibes for me too

Paradigms of Human Memory is incredibly underrated, such a fantastic episode

You can yell at me all you want, I’ve seen enough movies to know popping the BACK of a raft makes it go faster.

@@jamiedavis692 even better if you ride it out a crashing plane and down a mountain

nintendopleasesponsorme

Theyre the Legend of Zelda edition!! We can flip those babies on eBay for $300!!!!

Omg dude so much character growth for Morty

I'd argue though that he was simply present in the setup to the ultimately good memory of being rescued. However the poopareeno was in the intro, and the intro is mostly sinbits of horrible happenings.

@@mountainmiscreant Even in the intro, he's not CAUSING the horrible things. I think that's the catch. It's showing that these parasites feed on being perfect loving foils for their hosts when the real characters have flaws and moments of screwing up bad. So it's a 'not QUITE but might count' situation with Mr Poopy Butthole's earlier incidents.

Same. Very rewatchable.

on netflix? where are you from?

@@Pramerios UK

They have literally never had rick and morty on netflix in america. Gotta buy an adult swim subscription just to watch rick and morty every season

@@lovelybtches I live in the United Kingdom it's available there. Try using a VPN.

That was actually the first episode I watched and I still think it was a fairly good introduction, not considering the spoilers.

Pickle Rick is overhated I avoided that episode bc of people saying how bad it was and now it’s one of my favorites

funniest shit i’ve ever seen

@@slite2k59 it's not a bad episode people just hate it because it was a turning point where Rick became a God which many people disliked.

Pickle Rick!

I think the kronenberg is also as good as this episode and shows that unlike shows resolves everything at the end of the episode, it left us of Rick and Morty abandoning everything. It also show us how Rick takes the multiversal reality as a joke at the same I think it will reveal a big plot to the whole series.

I never realised that the memory thing was used in other episodes of TV like Buffy the vampire slayer and (my personal fav) “Adam” in Torchwood which is about an alien that infiltrated their memories and makes them think that they were always their too.

That was just the writers/animators wanting you to question your own memory of the intro.

sus sus sus sussy vbaka

Well, the door’s right there lmao

Love it. I use "get schwifty" all the time now when I tell my wife the cat shit on the floor. She has no idea what I mean, and refuses to watch the episode to find out...

@@endcensorship874 cool

The Ricks Must Be Crazy is a contender for number 1. Every time Zeep says "This isn't a fucking chocolate factory" it slays me :D

@@Shanghaimartin yeah it’s my favourite episode

Ricklantis mixup is probably my favourite

why would they do that? Because they are assholes!

Agreed. That was the first episode I saw. And when they're running through the spaceport and Morty sneezes out the snot creature that ages and dies and Rick just says "Dont think about it. Keep going" had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video and go back and rewatch what I'd missed.

This is my favorite episode I have watched it so much
