The Wisecrack Companion to __________.

In all honesty that seems like too much. Wisecrack should be more stylish than other channels that can give you lists. Wisecrack is supposed to make you think, not do the thinking for you. I appreciate this episode giving me a lot of new things to watch that would allow me to think, but would be better for the channel's integrity if a flat out reference list were given to someplace like the Film Theory channel.

André de Andrade, next year we will get season 3 ☺️😁😁

Connor97 yes I'm so excited!!

Connor97 I hope they have like 20 seasons. Or even more.

six seasons and a movie

In the episode The Ricks must be crazy I've been wondering if when they get stranded in the mini universe that the scientist Zeep Zanflorp created is that a reference to the 1985 film "Enemy Mine"? It just really reminded me of it for some reason.

"Needful Things" is obviously a direct reference to the 1991 Steven King novel, but the store itself (along with an offhand comment directly referencing it by Rick while arguing with the Devil) also pays homage to the 1987 television show Friday The 13th: The Series en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_the_13th:_The_Series (completely unrelated to the movie series featuring Jason Voorhees) The rough plot synopsis basically centers around two people inheriting an antique store from their uncle, and immediately selling off the entire inventory without realizing that every item in the store has been cursed by the Devil, then needing to go about reclaiming all of the sold off items one episode at a time. Most of the objects confer an ironic benefit and a curse simultaneously, like a scalpel that can heal any injury provided it's used to kill somebody else first, etc. The show actually pre-dates the Steven King novel, and was syndicated on the SciFi channel a long time ago, was a personal favorite when I was young. Rick and Morty has some exceedingly clever obscure little references like this!

Jack Dog in the forward of the book Bradbury quotes the dialogue from the play.....

Also, it is in the lyrics of the song 'double trouble' in Harry Potter.

sounds like you are getting your wish this week.

YES!

Jeff Anderson omg yes!

Its a good show, but its not the best, it all depends on tastes.

I would say it's certainly the best western animated series. What do you suppose is the best of all shows?

Honestly i dont think we can have a "best show" but i would say Breaking Bad is pretty good, i agree with you with being the best western animated series, but its not perfect, i think Rick and Morty needs more character development, i just finished Bojack Horseman and it turned out to be pretty good, the character development on that show actually made me feel empathy for the characters, a thing that i feel that Rick and Morty could do better, the character development in Rick and Morty is nice, but its nowhere near Bojack Horse, im not saying BJ is better, but i think it could be better. PS: Rick and Morty is my favorite show

BothBoat ah yeah, bojack was really good, and i agree their character development was great. As a science major though, i guess i have a huge soft spot for Rick and Morty, though Breaking Bad certainly satisfies that criteria too. It may just be because i saw BB so long ago that i prefer R&M, but they were both great.

I mean Rick and Morty is still a gem. Really well crafted and well thought.

yeah, an It-friend

Magalí Iglesias Barenys He literally said they dated

Gaming Gamer that wasn't their point

Right, an enslaving hive-mind is beyond gender.

so your saying they just assumed unitys gender? TRIGGERED

Nepraktický člověk Definetely

YES! Philosophy of Filthy Frank will be my favorite yet!

wut! no that'll be cringy af

Nepraktický člověk

Or mac being gay

Emilio Estrada or how Dennis, Mac, and Dee see themselves as more than who they really are because they are always drunk. Charlie and Frank are the same in everyone's eyes because they have accepted themselves as weirdos

The only anime I have seen.

Fan of Fandoms Ew

One of the first anime I have seen.

is it good?

Overall it's good. It starts out amazing but slowly declines after about episode 25... I'd recommend it though

I agree. And it is not only that, it also "remystifies" things again to a certain extend, because even though everything can be explained with science, the universe is so big and senseless that it is essensially a great, endless, mysterious adventure after all, just as the human psyche. But maybe I'm going too far with that.

DeineLieblingsvideos Indeed, I am very much opposed to the view that science takes away wonder and even some bit of mysticism fron everything. Science may indeed demistify, but certain emotions that drove mysticism in all ages drive science as well. One of them is sense of weonder and science, in my humble view, brings more wonder than any other field. On a sidenote, one demystifying effect I love in the show was in the episode of micro-verses when Morty becomes the leader of some native tribe in one ofv the microverses. He takes Rick and the other guy to some ancient tree and all sings point to the fact that he will give them a lecture on how natural things are better than man-made ones, but no! "These people are savages, they kill every third newnborn because they think it brings rain" :D Laughed my ass of that one and it resonated really well with me, because I've always disliked Rousseau's bullshit :D

Rick is an interesting character, because he has the means to basically do whatever her wants to do and the only thing holding him back, is his attachment to his loved ones. Those sentiments are broken by Rick on many occasion and he always talks so much about how little he cares, but a part of him simply can't turn it off. (season 2's buildup to the final episode was flawless)

DeineLieblingsvideos "remystifies". I like that.

Doesn't that make you gay?

We're starting on it. Such a good show!

and this could fit the current style cause every episode has its own genre references

amazing!

Have you ever considered doing a philosophy Dexter? that show has plenty of stuff mixed in it. morals ethics religion ect

That's an easy one. The philosophy of black mirror as a whole is people are stupid, adding technology into the mix just makes them more dangerous. Which I think is spot on!

good point!

Well, he shouldn't have made it easy for Snowball to open the battery slot.

LE0NSKA ricks not perfect, he's made mistakes. remember rick potion #9?

alexzz1234 wasn't it jerry who put extra batteries firs,t to make snowball smart enough to figure that out?

mrtannzr You can shut the hell up, or I can shit on your floor.

already did it

no, he didn't

+Badmunky64 they did the inspirations of Mr. Robot but not a philosophy... Yet

ijjnno

BIRD PERSON YOU HAVE COME BACK TO US!!!!!!!

Bless you my son.

OrangeT3am Yeah like anything from rick and Morty

More episodes on Rick and Morty, too.

misterkefiryuhgggg /)));!,?.).)4 y

I knew someone who did'nt like Rick & Morty, they are now dead in this reality.

Spider Jeranimo Uhhh spider....? did you....did you.... kill them?....

i dont like, its boring and it makes me fall sleep. sorry

dead cant speak

Jake Andrews well i hate the cheap and ugly animation, the toilet humor, the gratuitous obscenities and the abundance of disgusting stuff ( around ricks mouth... unity using of all things vomit as a means of propagation).... you get the idea.

McCarthisym wasn't right, and eventually failed. How is it right to arrest someone for having left wing political views, or for the government to have a say in what films can and can't do. Go against anyone who doesn't conform to the ideal way of life: i.e the nuclear family. Hence the hypocrisy, and the satire I read in the film. The famous "They're here" sequence seems very similar to McCarthy first speech way he accused many government officials of being Communist, without any proof?

Also, more Rick and Morty would be excellent.

My favorite movie

Exploring With Danny You do videos with exploring with Josh right?

Personally, I think that nihilism is the final expression of fully accepting scientific investigation as the way of understanding the universe. If everything is the result of probability and physics, then ultimately there is no order or reason behind events which take place. By completely rejecting religion and the supernatural to explain why things happen you are left with the conclusion that there is no reason why anything happens, so nothing really is important. This thinking encapsulates Rick's character - he looks at everything in terms of the basic interactions of material components. If he can manipulate those components to achieve his desired goal then all he has done is employed natural laws. Because there are no real consequences for an action on a universal level, it doesn't matter whether he's manipulating materials, machines or people because none of them have any inherent value over the others. I think most people find this type of thinking incredibly unsettling, because it essentially states that nothing a person does, experiences, suffers through, or achieves has any meaning. If nothing in life has meaning, then what is the point of living? What is the point of society? Rick and Morty uses this to set Rick apart from everyone else and is the basis for a lot of the humour of the show, as well as the emotional struggles of the characters. As for why this may be more common in shows today, it may be due to the growing influence of a "science-based" and non-secular mindset in Western society, and the struggle that people experience trying to reconcile it's ultimate nihilism with the significance they attach to the elements of their life. Particularly for deeply religious people, saying that nothing matters completely upsets someone's worldview and challenges everything they've done in life. Until we, as society, reconcile the nihilism of science with the rules and traditions of societies and religions, along with everyday experience, this will continue to be a popular topic in media and a source for debate. Personally, I feel that accepting the nihilistic nature of the universe doesn't devalue the human experience, you just have to accept that the rules and ideals you hold dear may not mean anything to someone else. It becomes the burden of each person to find meaning and significance in their own life instead of having it handed down to them. Even though everyone you love could die tomorrow for no reason other than an alignment of probability, it doesn't mean that they are any less important to you or that you shouldn't value them and your relationships with them. You just have to develop a different mindset regarding the events of your life, and maybe employ different coping mechanism to deal with the trials you experience. It also doesn't mean that morality doesn't exist because it isn't "god-given" or come from some absolute source, you just have to acknowledge that morality is the set of common rules of a society which the majority of people agree upon to provide the most benefit to the most people (or at least the people in charge, but that's a different discussion)

Shawn Wesley nothing matters don't let your ego tell you otherwise

The show isn't preaching nihilism, that would be just dross. The show is describing a nihilist misanthrope and what he goes through on a daily basis to make his life half-way bearable. (Also his grandson, a malleable teenager upon whom all of Rick's shit bears heavily.) In my book, that's one hell of a premise.

Nihilism isn't negative by its definition. A lot of people view it a such thinking if nothing matters then there is no point in living(if there is no point then why even be depressed about it.). A more healthy viewpoint would be to think that if nothing you do matters then live the life as you want to, you are free to do anything and also stop worrying about things all together. There is no point but you can give it a point.

Cooper Rayman you are no longer talking about nilhism, once you look at the ramifications of the meaninglessness of the universe, and how it effects your life that is no longer nilhism. You are now entering the realms of hedonism, absurdism, or some other philosophical viewpoint.

Connor Roddie that's really what post modernism is at the end of the day, works of arts developed with little to no meaning behind them and letting the audience project whatever they want unto it.

Samuel Wise Nothing to go over
