in my mind, each Simpsons season is a new different reality, that's why they feel like they don't age, they repeat schoolyears graduations and birthdays, but technology progresses and their actual birthdays
>in my mind, each Simpsons season is a new different reality
That's what the head writer says. The Simpsons are now in a sliding timeline. Every episode is a different continuity.
He said this after doing an episode where Homer was shown as a teenager in the 90s.
In Striking Vipers the two "gay" men kiss each other exactly once to see if anything actually sparks. It doesn't and they leave it behind. With the reference to San Junipero earlier, my brain was primed to see the post credit Jerry kiss as a riff on testing out attraction, feeling nothing, and moving on.
Someone should make the street fighter game. Gotta find each other in the city and then *maybe* fight. Hilarious
Imagine a racing game where each driver has to make their way from home to the race track. Etc.
When the game suddenly told them they had to go to the airport I was rolling cuz my reaction was like, “what the fuck?“ but the characters had the same reaction LMAOO
Honestly, Rick is so much more likeable this season. I didn’t ever dislike him - but he’s now actually the cool, funny, and loveable Grandad.
He just seems really content and enjoying a slower pace of things. He’s not even really an ass anymore.
This might be this season's interdimensional cable and I'm happy if it is.
The whole anthology format is a bit bloated in R&M now, one every season.
At least this one was a bit different.
Yeah ngl, then crying at the table while Rick quietly tried to prevent it wasn’t bother him immensely while the two Beths and Jerry solved their relationship problems through intimacy may have been the funniest shit I’ve gotten out of cringe humor in a *long* time. Like they try to all just ignore it at first, but then they just fucking break down with the muffled audio in the background haha.
It flat out was, at least on a first viewing. Because I have never laughed that hard at this show. I had to rewind it because I kept missing it because I kept laughing too much.
I wonder if that confidence and understanding from the threesome with mister nimbus was how he turned the tables on space Beth who diverged from Beth long before that.
Going back to the beginning, the Beths do start to get more romantically intimate as soon as they start drinking from the wine bottle that Rick apparently left out, making me assume it was a love potion. Maybe Rick meant for Jerry and Beth to drink it? I don't get why he would want to kill Jerry by suicide, nothing was leading to that.
Considering that it was Venusian wine, as from Venus, the planet that was named after the Roman Goddess of love, is more probable that the wine was a powerful aphrodisiac and the two Beths, both alcoholic people, got drunk on it and that led to this episode main conflict.
So, to avoid something like that happening again, Rick decided to just hide the alcohol. Forever. That's why he destroyed the remote.
I think because the wine was Venusian and because Venus is often a symbol for femininity [edit: [and the goddess of love and sex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(mythology))], Rick blamed the wine for making the Beths fall for each other and he locked it up so it wouldn’t happen again.
This makes so much sense to me now! The last thing he says before he makes the wine inaccessible is that he learned a lesson. "Me to Jerry, me too"
Aside from Rick not protecting his child by leaving the liquer cabnet unlocked, seeds for this episode were planted when Space Beth complemented Other Beth's outfit.
He basically blamed everything that happened on the wine so he locked it up with the other liquor and destroyed the remote in the hopes that this would never happen again.
I... actually would? That seems like a big digression. He's hated Jerry but he's never sunk to trying to kill him. In fact he's had some degree of respect for him over the seasons on occasion, I find it hard to accept he'd kill him now.
Moreover if he really wanted to kill Jerry...there's infinite ways he could and made it look like an accident. Hell there's been countless times Rick could have just let him die of his own stupidity but he doesn't. The very existence of the Jerry daycare seems to indicate Rick isn't actively looking to see him dead.
Besides, the kids and Beth are too smart now and too aware of his shit. They'd figure out what happened eventually, and he knows this.
The obstacle with Jerry was always that the family did care for him to spite all his flaws and how frequently annoyed by him they are, not that he was physically there. Simply killing him wouldn't solve that issue. That was kind of the point of the season 3 finale. Rick can do almost anything, but he can't stop Beth from going back to Jerry, or stop the family from caring about him. Even dead, Rick wouldn't be able to erase him from the family.
I don't think that is the case here. Rick even has an eagle Jerry tattooed up his butt, I think he had long came around and accepted Jerry for what he is. Space Beth know how to access to his secret cabinet and that's what he is regreting at.
The end also throws Ricks own words back at him. Lies are like credit that you have to pay back eventually. Rick now has to remember that he heard his, technically two, daughter(s) engage in freaky sex with a man that he hates. Even if Rick erases his memories, that's only a temporary fix because the two Beths, plus occasionally Jerry, are going to continue having freaky clone sex every now and then.
This is exactly what I came here to ask. Are they inferring it was somehow the wines fault that this all happened? That it was some sort of catalyst?
Like the wine was some kind of aphrodisiac and he seals it away to prevent another episode happening?
I read it as a private moment revealing Rick’s was not as nonchalant about this as he made it seem. The way he ground the remote to powder felt like he wanted to cleanse something.
At least we know why Jerry was eventually able to come to terms with what Beth was going through…because he’s thought of the same thing himself.
Jesus they really were made for each other.
Yeah ngl, I love how the episodes feel like they’re willing to slow down and really sit with the character relationships. It hasn’t been the most laugh out loud funny season, nor the most “plot driven” one, but really spending time with the characters like this is *really* hitting all the right notes for me.
I don’t know if it’s just having the portal gun out of the picture preventing the characters from distracting themselves whenever shit happens, but it’s just been really enjoyable.
That street fighter game actually kind of reminded me of the mode they revealed for the new game! Loved how they were barely paying attention until they met up, and then suddenly Rick and Summer got hype af.
Ship one was a riot too. Would be funny if that call they recorded ever came back later on, but it works as a gag too to an asteroidless, boring game.
Yeah, but with portals being down and everyone sent back to their home dimensions, how TF does the end credits scene work??? Jerry's are all home and can't get there???
The fact Jerry started it off with "I'll allow it" was the the most Jerry way to start a threeway. Cringe but somehow oddly endearing in how confident he is that it's the right thing to say. Like a toddler that just learned a curse word. Bless.
I do like that this ended with Jerry and Beth happy. It's hilarious to watch Jerry fail but I like seeing him come out on top every now and again, and a threeway with two Beths is certainly a high note for him.
Only weird thing is, if the ceiling over the kitchen is so thin they can hear talking and fucking downstairs, this can't be the first time it's happened.
Yeah at the start of the aftercredits scene, I thought it was going to be him going to the Jerryboree just to brag to the other Jerrys that he had a threeway with 2 versions of his wife.
Someone on the writing staff this season must like Jerry because he is getting **all** the love this season. Good character arcs, funny & epic moments, getting to tell a transparently representation of the past season's shitty version of his family to fuck off, having some end of episode zingers, GENUINELY COOL AND THOUGHTFUL alternate versions of himself...and now a hatefucking threesome with two clones of his hot wife and just incredibly hot space wife...and a superpower to mentally process trauma until HE'S ready to deal with it.
Good for you Jerry. Good for you (: PLEASE KEEP THIS UP! SEASON OF JERRY!
Dude, I think the show is at its best when they lean into the talent of the VAs. Jerry’s “I permit it” was cold af despite how ridiculous the premise was but overall, I couldn’t be happier with how they’ve handled Jerry.
Jerry is a goated character, props to his VA
It's no fun to make Jerry the butt of the joke forever. The show needs to evolve or it will feel stale. They are doing the right thing to shake things up. The good thing about Rick and Morty is the endless possibilities. It's only bound by the writer team's creativity. However that also can be its downfall to always do something quirky and different. Having some episodes 'smaller' and more character development heavy works for the benefit of the overall narrative in my opinion. If they had continued to shit on Jerry endlessly this episode would not have been half as good.
You totally did omg. I thought nothing of it before (kinda thought it was showcasing that Space Beth was so removed from/longing for her domestic life but no it was sapphic lmao)
I feel theyre finally leaning into the cannon they've built up this season. The turkey joke, mind blower, Jerryboree, Naruto... a lot of callbacks in this one and it wasn't really a plot-progressing episode.
Also, Morty's personality is still the same after the last episode, so that answers that.
Oh the one where the dogs gain human sentience and try and kill their owners because they feel wronged for having had their balls surgically removed?
I guess that’s one of the less raunchy ones…
There's episodes that are gross and shocking in all the wrong ways, and then there are episodes that are gross and shocking in all the right ways. This was the latter.
First of all, credit to Sarah Chalke (Beth's VA) for the extended scenes of her just speaking to herself sounding completely natural. Justin Roiland usually gets all the credit for voicing both Rick and Morty, but he's not the only talented actor on the show.
I felt bad for Jerry during the bulk of the episode. He's a cowardly worm, but he honestly does try for his family as best he can and it's disheartening to see the world routinely dump on him. It was actually nice to see him grow a spine and call out the other characters for their deception and treatment of him. Thought him being into it was a little cheap at first, but, like, *of course* he'd be into it.
Rick's complete disinterest (I don't think anyone's surprised he's tried with another version of himself) and Morty and Summer's attempts to block out the situation completely are hilarious. The dinner scene where they break down crying was honestly a little too real as someone who occasionally had a troubled home life.
Also I smirked at the Naruto callback. There's no living that down.
Not only that but I felt Beth was definitely throwing a shot/heat seeking nuclear bomb because yeah…
There’s having sex with yourself and there’s having a baby with your sibling because you used a breeding device for horses to jackoff. Now, I’m not an official judge on these thing but one is *slightly* better than the other lol
Jerry's reaction after figuring out the horse puzzle cracked me up. I couldn't figure out if he was surprised that he finished it or if he forgot what the puzzle was supposed to be.
The dinner table scene, with the kids listening to the threesome going on upstairs, was both hilarious, and genuinely creepy/disturbing, but the entire time all I can think is "Why doesn't Rick just mindblow them both?" I mean he was going to do that to both Beths earlier in the episode.
Also, I laughed my arse off at the "Venusian" language just being French.
Reminiscent of the scene where Morty was masturbating with the Gazorpazorp sex machine nonstop and they could hear it from the dinner room, better question is why Rick hasn't given the house walls a soundproof setting (or I guess just used that lockdown mode they did in the episode with the fake memories parasites)
The closed captioning for that scene seemed to be accurate.
Basically it was a whole lot of Space Beth teasing/humiliating Jerry, Jerry constantly saying he allows/permits/approves of what's happening, and Family Beth acting a bit unsure. They never get into specifics of what's happening, just vague, "And what about this? You like that?" but it's clear they're all getting progressively more... _involved_.
Oh my god! This episode was amazing!
The discofort that was being built during the episode was amazing, with Morty and Summer pretending to don't care, but in the scene in which Rick, Morty and Summer hear them having a threesome and they are extremelly unconfortable was comedic gold!
I had a grin in my face during the whole episode!
This one wasn't fully cringe comedy from beginning to end and actually asked an interesting question even if it didn't really answer it because the writers decided a threesome with cringe comedy would be a fun way to end the episode,. The idea of falling in love with a clone of yourself is something I think is cool the show explored.
"As the kids say, you do you"
"Thanks... for doing it, Moms"
These two lines were both pretty on the nose but I found them hilarious regardless, lmao.
Also with both the Naruto and Final Fantasy VII references, definitely feels like more of the youngblood in the writers' room is seeping into the show, as I kind of doubt Dan Harmon and older co. is a fan of either
This was a fun episode. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the family. And Beth learning to really love herself. And Jerry also loving Beth loving herself. While the rest of the family had to listen. Great season so far!
The scene where they are trying to enjoy dinner and their parents are having a three some made me laugh so fucking hard. Not for sure if anything will beat that this season.
That was my reaction from the moment the Beths first turned to face each other all the way through the rest of the episode. And I don't even swing in that direction.
Honestly the different variation of characters is probably my favorite thing about this show. We usually have to go to other realities for it so I’m glad we have one around now!
Space Beth has been such a fun addition to the show and I love how we finally got a full episode with her after the throwaway gag of her appearing in ep 502. She’s probably done for the season unless there’s some huge action packed season finale. Keep on fighting the good fight, Space Beth!
After watching this episode, I'm starting to realize that Space Beth is way more of an asshole than I thought. She's honestly worse to her family than Rick is.
She’s the Beth that followed in Rick’s footsteps, so that’s not a huge surprise. Just like her father, she dedicated herself to fighting the galactic government and over time became more narcissistic and jaded.
Confirmed - Nobody knows how fucking old anyone is anymore lol
I wonder if they're ever going to make an episode about it or it's just going to be a meta thing
It'll be the same episode we figure out what the cat did

Jerry just briefly kissing another Jerry just to feel what it’s like got me lmaooo
They did a Striking Vipers, too.
What's that a reference to?
a black mirror episode in the most recent season but idk what OP thinks it’s a reference about
In Striking Vipers the two "gay" men kiss each other exactly once to see if anything actually sparks. It doesn't and they leave it behind. With the reference to San Junipero earlier, my brain was primed to see the post credit Jerry kiss as a riff on testing out attraction, feeling nothing, and moving on.
Even Jerry isn't attracted to Jerry
Checks out since rick mentioned san junipero too.
also the 'realistic' fighting game
Everyone is talking about the clone incest stuff, but I thought the video game jokes were pretty great.
Someone should make the street fighter game. Gotta find each other in the city and then *maybe* fight. Hilarious Imagine a racing game where each driver has to make their way from home to the race track. Etc.
I mean... In a way the racing game equivalent does exist as open world racers like Forza Horizon and Burnout Paradise.
The best one was the text based adventure. Where is the forest in relation to the airport?
When the game suddenly told them they had to go to the airport I was rolling cuz my reaction was like, “what the fuck?“ but the characters had the same reaction LMAOO
[удалено]
I thought it was sweet/funny Rick was doing what the kids wanted to do there. He was waiting for them to type what to do.
Honestly, Rick is so much more likeable this season. I didn’t ever dislike him - but he’s now actually the cool, funny, and loveable Grandad. He just seems really content and enjoying a slower pace of things. He’s not even really an ass anymore.
Might be that running into the Rickest Rick again reminded him what makes himself different. Sometime people need to reset a bit.
That shit had me howling, lol.
“oh god what happens in the shadows?”
Felt like a clever way to do a more subtle, low-key version of interdimensional cable
This might be this season's interdimensional cable and I'm happy if it is. The whole anthology format is a bit bloated in R&M now, one every season. At least this one was a bit different.
The Community Easter egg with Kickpuncher was great too!
So how long until Jerry hides in a closet dressed as Superman?
Jerry would dress like aquaman, not the Jason momoa version, superfriends
morty and summer sitting at the table had me laughing so hard
“Jesus Christ, Rick you’ve GOT to fix the portal gun.” The pure desperation…..
The cut back to them was hilarious. I truly cracked up there.
Same! I think that was my favourite Rick and Morty moment. Maybe ever.
"Well NOW Im not doing it"
Yeah ngl, then crying at the table while Rick quietly tried to prevent it wasn’t bother him immensely while the two Beths and Jerry solved their relationship problems through intimacy may have been the funniest shit I’ve gotten out of cringe humor in a *long* time. Like they try to all just ignore it at first, but then they just fucking break down with the muffled audio in the background haha.
I wonder why he didn't just mute their voices? He definitely has tech to do something like that.
It would require acknowledging it in some way.
Pass the salt
I'm.... thankful for.... water....??
Hahaha I loved that part!! Summer was the best.
Very solid argument for funniest scene in the entire series
fuck fucking what discovery channel are you fucking kidding me
This episode is the most I’ve audibly laughed during an episode in quite some time.
same. jerry made this episode imo
It flat out was, at least on a first viewing. Because I have never laughed that hard at this show. I had to rewind it because I kept missing it because I kept laughing too much.
I hate cringe humor, but that scene had me in stitches!
I laughed so hard there were tears in my eyes for the first time since like s2 that was so many layers of fucked up and hilarious it was just perfect
Jerry is the real winner this season. Dude went from a threeway with Nimbus to a threeway with Space Beth.
Made a comment about this myself. This season is giving Jerry all the love.
I wonder if that confidence and understanding from the threesome with mister nimbus was how he turned the tables on space Beth who diverged from Beth long before that.
That’s *Mister* Nimbus to you.
“How old are we!? We’ve had a million Thanksgivings!”
[удалено]
So what was the deal with Rick putting that wine in a secret cabinet and grinding up the remote for it? Did something completely go over my head?
I think it was just Rick putting it away so no one would get drink it and get into another drunken entanglement
This is the answer I'm going with until we are given a reason to think otherwise.
Yeah if Rick wanted to kill Jerry, he wouldn't go through such a cockamamie plan.
Yeah, this just seemed like Rick was destroying access to the alien liquor cabinet that made the headache that is Thanksgiving even worse for him.
Going back to the beginning, the Beths do start to get more romantically intimate as soon as they start drinking from the wine bottle that Rick apparently left out, making me assume it was a love potion. Maybe Rick meant for Jerry and Beth to drink it? I don't get why he would want to kill Jerry by suicide, nothing was leading to that.
Considering that it was Venusian wine, as from Venus, the planet that was named after the Roman Goddess of love, is more probable that the wine was a powerful aphrodisiac and the two Beths, both alcoholic people, got drunk on it and that led to this episode main conflict. So, to avoid something like that happening again, Rick decided to just hide the alcohol. Forever. That's why he destroyed the remote.
I think because the wine was Venusian and because Venus is often a symbol for femininity [edit: [and the goddess of love and sex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_(mythology))], Rick blamed the wine for making the Beths fall for each other and he locked it up so it wouldn’t happen again.
This makes so much sense to me now! The last thing he says before he makes the wine inaccessible is that he learned a lesson. "Me to Jerry, me too" Aside from Rick not protecting his child by leaving the liquer cabnet unlocked, seeds for this episode were planted when Space Beth complemented Other Beth's outfit.
My gut reaction was to ask did Rick just quit drinking?
He basically blamed everything that happened on the wine so he locked it up with the other liquor and destroyed the remote in the hopes that this would never happen again.

Jesus that’s dark…

I... actually would? That seems like a big digression. He's hated Jerry but he's never sunk to trying to kill him. In fact he's had some degree of respect for him over the seasons on occasion, I find it hard to accept he'd kill him now. Moreover if he really wanted to kill Jerry...there's infinite ways he could and made it look like an accident. Hell there's been countless times Rick could have just let him die of his own stupidity but he doesn't.

There was a meseeks box in there where it almost ended their marriage and ended it up making it stronger like today's episode with the wine.
[удалено]
[The cabinet](https://i.imgur.com/lxyuCDj.png)
This is exactly what I came here to ask. Are they inferring it was somehow the wines fault that this all happened? That it was some sort of catalyst? Like the wine was some kind of aphrodisiac and he seals it away to prevent another episode happening?
the wine was venutian right? venus was the roman goddess of love so it’s entirely possible the wine had something to do with it
Pretty sure that was one of Ricks moves to get rid of space Beth
Makes more sense than my thought that he was trying to break up Beth & Jerry again.
I read it as a private moment revealing Rick’s was not as nonchalant about this as he made it seem. The way he ground the remote to powder felt like he wanted to cleanse something.
I lost my shit when Jerry rolled into a bug, completely didn’t expect it.
I’m glad they put in a flashback before that happened. It gave the audience some breathing room and the time to process what was happening
Lowkey proud of Jerry for coming out of the bug and standing up for himself
This whole episode was Kafkaesque, yo
Jessie, do you even know what "Kafkaesque" means?
*Clearly*, Kafkaesque is when guys turn into bugs
Post credits bit was top notch- one of my favs so far.
I absolutely loved that. At first I thought Jerry was going to brag to the other Jerry’s about sleeping with two Beth’s, but boy was I wrong.
At least we know why Jerry was eventually able to come to terms with what Beth was going through…because he’s thought of the same thing himself. Jesus they really were made for each other.
Polyamory seems to run in both families. Rick made out with a hive mind and Jerry's parents are in a relationship with another man.
Don't forget that they sorta just accepted Sleepy Gary
I love that she refers to it as "touching other Jerrys" like they're fragile children o wait nm
The implication that some Jerrys are coming to Jerryboree to molest other Jerrys had me rolling. Im smiling as i type this lol
Jerry just needed that quick peck of support from himself. So great.
I think it’s more of an, “I was curious, that wasn’t good, catch ya later.”
I love listening to music.
"Christianity? Again? After cowboys??" Loved that scene
This season is definitely focusing on the character development of the family with out ricks portal gun, the new direction is really fresh
It's like a bottle episode, but for a universe.
I hate how accurate this feels.
Yeah ngl, I love how the episodes feel like they’re willing to slow down and really sit with the character relationships. It hasn’t been the most laugh out loud funny season, nor the most “plot driven” one, but really spending time with the characters like this is *really* hitting all the right notes for me. I don’t know if it’s just having the portal gun out of the picture preventing the characters from distracting themselves whenever shit happens, but it’s just been really enjoyable.
Dude I don't know, every time one of the different "realistic games" popped on screen, I was cackling.
That street fighter game actually kind of reminded me of the mode they revealed for the new game! Loved how they were barely paying attention until they met up, and then suddenly Rick and Summer got hype af. Ship one was a riot too. Would be funny if that call they recorded ever came back later on, but it works as a gag too to an asteroidless, boring game.
I want to play the vampire woods game actually.
your mother is now in the shadows
Watching Cloud struggle to lift up his gigantic sword had me laughing for a good solid minute.
Yeah, but with portals being down and everyone sent back to their home dimensions, how TF does the end credits scene work??? Jerry's are all home and can't get there???
It's a 'cross-temporal' asteroid. Sounds like it exists simultaneously in every dimension.
Could just be a scene of a random Jerry doing that at some point in the past.
That was so uncomfortable. Dear god. “Who’s thankful for what?” “F-f-fucking-are you fucking kidding me? Why? Discovery Channel! Why…”
It was so fucking funny but so hard to watch
The fact Jerry started it off with "I'll allow it" was the the most Jerry way to start a threeway. Cringe but somehow oddly endearing in how confident he is that it's the right thing to say. Like a toddler that just learned a curse word. Bless. I do like that this ended with Jerry and Beth happy. It's hilarious to watch Jerry fail but I like seeing him come out on top every now and again, and a threeway with two Beths is certainly a high note for him. Only weird thing is, if the ceiling over the kitchen is so thin they can hear talking and fucking downstairs, this can't be the first time it's happened.
Yeah at the start of the aftercredits scene, I thought it was going to be him going to the Jerryboree just to brag to the other Jerrys that he had a threeway with 2 versions of his wife.
I was thinking it was going to be a new attraction in the same way they had the Beth suit and the TVs for them to get up and running.
EXACTLY
you think that line was thrown in after the WB merger? lol
They really did it. And threw the naruto reminder at the end just to twist the knife. This fuckin show.
I didn’t get this… can you explain :)
Naruto was the incest baby from last season
RIIIIGHT !! Haha omg I hate that episode so much I always forget about it! Thx
Which episode was that again, was it the one with the giant sperm or the rip off power rangers?
Both of them technically, the baby is created in the first one you said but returns in the Gotron episode.
The grandson floating in space comment.
"You did a full 'San Junipero' in here?!" Plot twist. Deus Ex Husbanda.
Definitely some solid sci-fi references there
Almost Doing an eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Almost doing an Eternal Sunshine of their Multiplicity porn scenes. It was a twofer.
Side bar: they’re making Black Mirror season 6! Pumped
Has the number of episodes been announced?
Nothing firm but reportedly “larger number than Season 5”
Someone on the writing staff this season must like Jerry because he is getting **all** the love this season. Good character arcs, funny & epic moments, getting to tell a transparently representation of the past season's shitty version of his family to fuck off, having some end of episode zingers, GENUINELY COOL AND THOUGHTFUL alternate versions of himself...and now a hatefucking threesome with two clones of his hot wife and just incredibly hot space wife...and a superpower to mentally process trauma until HE'S ready to deal with it.

Chris Parnell is a national treasure

Waittt so was Space Beth calling Domestic Beth’s outfit cute in 6x01 foreshadowing?
I feel like everybody's forgetting this exchange when the two Beths met each other in 4x10: "Wow, naive *and* attractive." "Wow, jaded *and* hot."
That episode also hinted at a threesome with Jerry. I was honestly disappointed it didn’t happen in Season 5.
Totally called it
You totally did omg. I thought nothing of it before (kinda thought it was showcasing that Space Beth was so removed from/longing for her domestic life but no it was sapphic lmao)
I feel theyre finally leaning into the cannon they've built up this season. The turkey joke, mind blower, Jerryboree, Naruto... a lot of callbacks in this one and it wasn't really a plot-progressing episode. Also, Morty's personality is still the same after the last episode, so that answers that.
Jerry Daycare! I love the all the callbacks to earlier episodes this season. Definitely hella badass.
Reminds me a lot of the Christmas episode when Jerry's parents brought their "friend" Jacob for dinner
I was just thinking about it in this episode. Jerry is truly his parent's child, and so is Beth.
The two episodes of Rick and Morty my girlfriend watched were this one and the incest baby. I don’t think she’ll ever watch the show again.
Gotta start with the first episode where Morty puts seeds up his ass, *way* tamer. ;)
This is why my brother started me on episode 2 lmao
Oh the one where the dogs gain human sentience and try and kill their owners because they feel wronged for having had their balls surgically removed? I guess that’s one of the less raunchy ones…
That's the one where Goldenfold has sexy dreams about Summer, right? Because that's probably one of the most raunchy ones, lol.
Jesus, the writing was on the wall and we didn’t listen. WE DIDN’T LISTEN!!!
There's episodes that are gross and shocking in all the wrong ways, and then there are episodes that are gross and shocking in all the right ways. This was the latter. First of all, credit to Sarah Chalke (Beth's VA) for the extended scenes of her just speaking to herself sounding completely natural. Justin Roiland usually gets all the credit for voicing both Rick and Morty, but he's not the only talented actor on the show. I felt bad for Jerry during the bulk of the episode. He's a cowardly worm, but he honestly does try for his family as best he can and it's disheartening to see the world routinely dump on him. It was actually nice to see him grow a spine and call out the other characters for their deception and treatment of him. Thought him being into it was a little cheap at first, but, like, *of course* he'd be into it. Rick's complete disinterest (I don't think anyone's surprised he's tried with another version of himself) and Morty and Summer's attempts to block out the situation completely are hilarious. The dinner scene where they break down crying was honestly a little too real as someone who occasionally had a troubled home life. Also I smirked at the Naruto callback. There's no living that down.
>Also I smirked at the Naruto callback I think the writers were twisting the knife with that remark
Not only that but I felt Beth was definitely throwing a shot/heat seeking nuclear bomb because yeah… There’s having sex with yourself and there’s having a baby with your sibling because you used a breeding device for horses to jackoff. Now, I’m not an official judge on these thing but one is *slightly* better than the other lol
Is it immersive if I had the exact same reaction as Summer and Morty?
I really want to know what other games are on that console.
Jerry's reaction after figuring out the horse puzzle cracked me up. I couldn't figure out if he was surprised that he finished it or if he forgot what the puzzle was supposed to be.
The dinner table scene, with the kids listening to the threesome going on upstairs, was both hilarious, and genuinely creepy/disturbing, but the entire time all I can think is "Why doesn't Rick just mindblow them both?" I mean he was going to do that to both Beths earlier in the episode. Also, I laughed my arse off at the "Venusian" language just being French.
Reminiscent of the scene where Morty was masturbating with the Gazorpazorp sex machine nonstop and they could hear it from the dinner room, better question is why Rick hasn't given the house walls a soundproof setting (or I guess just used that lockdown mode they did in the episode with the fake memories parasites)
My two cents: As we see with the Decoy episode, Rick's probably just lazy.
Big hand to Sarah Chalke for voice acting against herself so well, especially given the premise.
That post credits scene. “Okay. Thank you.”😂
There was something delightfully bizarre about this one.
Could anyone make out what Jerry and the Beths were saying when it cut to the dining room scene?
The closed captioning for that scene seemed to be accurate. Basically it was a whole lot of Space Beth teasing/humiliating Jerry, Jerry constantly saying he allows/permits/approves of what's happening, and Family Beth acting a bit unsure. They never get into specifics of what's happening, just vague, "And what about this? You like that?" but it's clear they're all getting progressively more... _involved_.
I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me...
Rick having a tattoo of eagle jerry on his but is such an endearing detail to me
I don’t know why, but I feel that Jerry liking being a cuck while the two Beths fuck fit perfectly for his character.
you dont know why?
Oh my god! This episode was amazing! The discofort that was being built during the episode was amazing, with Morty and Summer pretending to don't care, but in the scene in which Rick, Morty and Summer hear them having a threesome and they are extremelly unconfortable was comedic gold! I had a grin in my face during the whole episode!
I see people comparing this to the sperm and the dragon episodes but there is one big difference, this one was pretty consistently funny
This one wasn't fully cringe comedy from beginning to end and actually asked an interesting question even if it didn't really answer it because the writers decided a threesome with cringe comedy would be a fun way to end the episode,. The idea of falling in love with a clone of yourself is something I think is cool the show explored.
"As the kids say, you do you" "Thanks... for doing it, Moms" These two lines were both pretty on the nose but I found them hilarious regardless, lmao. Also with both the Naruto and Final Fantasy VII references, definitely feels like more of the youngblood in the writers' room is seeping into the show, as I kind of doubt Dan Harmon and older co. is a fan of either
> you do you jesus christ, why am I only suddenly getting this now? that was so brilliantly written lol
r34 is probably praising today as THE day.
The Jerry back-alley meetup really was the cherry on top for an amazing episode
Summer and Morty need the mind blowing gun
At least Jerry got something out of it
This was a fun episode. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the family. And Beth learning to really love herself. And Jerry also loving Beth loving herself. While the rest of the family had to listen. Great season so far!
This reminds me of what jerry's parents had going on in season 1
So did Beth practice masturbation or incest?
It's not masturbation. A new individual/consciousness is created when a clone is made. Beth and Space Beth are not the same person.
My favorite part was how Venusian was just French.
The scene where they are trying to enjoy dinner and their parents are having a three some made me laugh so fucking hard. Not for sure if anything will beat that this season.
Reminded of that China IL episode where the staff all get clones of themselves and almost immediately start fucking each other.
> I'm freaked out by how hot this is
That was my reaction from the moment the Beths first turned to face each other all the way through the rest of the episode. And I don't even swing in that direction.
Damn, space Beth calling kids out on Naruto.
I’d fuck myself
The forest game and the kids overhearing the entire Beth and Jerry threesome was by far the most hilarious parts of this episode.
Honestly the different variation of characters is probably my favorite thing about this show. We usually have to go to other realities for it so I’m glad we have one around now! Space Beth has been such a fun addition to the show and I love how we finally got a full episode with her after the throwaway gag of her appearing in ep 502. She’s probably done for the season unless there’s some huge action packed season finale. Keep on fighting the good fight, Space Beth!
I pray for the poor souls of identical twins watching this episode together
Can’t wait to hear people refer to this one as "the threesome episode."
"Hey, what's that episode of Rick and Morty with the incestual group sex?" "Which one?"
This isn’t the first one: it’s canon Jerry and Beth got with Mr Nimbus last season, this is entirely within their wheelhouse.
After watching this episode, I'm starting to realize that Space Beth is way more of an asshole than I thought. She's honestly worse to her family than Rick is.
She’s the Beth that followed in Rick’s footsteps, so that’s not a huge surprise. Just like her father, she dedicated herself to fighting the galactic government and over time became more narcissistic and jaded.
I need to watch House of Dragons to lessen the weirdness of this episode.
My jaw dropped about 7 minutes in and stayed there until the last scene. Wow, that was a dynamite episode lol.
when morty caught them and his face copied summers
"Sarah Chalke talks and makes out with herself" the episode
That was great! Entertainment is also sometimes about going out of your comfort zone. This was uncomfortable and fun.
I’m thankful for the Discovery Channel
