Epic Cool Rick and Morty Drawings
Since its debut in 2013, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon's animated dark one-act "Rick and Morty" has consistently taken science-fiction misadventures to new heights (and juvenile lows). The popular-culture references, the attention to detail, the world-building, the music cues, the nihilism — "Rick and Morty" has a neverending story (or "Never Ricking Morty") supply on tap.
Every new adventure for Rick and Morty (and sometimes Summer or Beth or… Jerry) brings something dissimilar to the table, which is to be expected considering the space universes on said tabular array.
"Rick and Morty" returns for a 10-episode Flavour five on Developed Swim this Sunday, June 20. Much like the space universes presented in the series itself, there is seemingly an infinite possibility of what could possibly be considered the best episodes of "Rick and Morty," especially depending on what you're looking for in an episode. Simply on this particular universe, in this particular timeline, these are our picks for the 10 best episodes of "Rick and Morty."
x. "Meeseeks and Destroy" (Season 1, Episode 5)
This episode gets exceptionally nighttime in the Rick and Morty plotline, every bit Rick allows Morty to choose the adventure for once, leading to a scene with a predatory jellybean that is not played for laughs. Only the family storyline back on Earth makes upwards for that with its version of "calorie-free." With the introduction of the Meeseeks Box (and the single-use humanoid genies known as Mr. Meeseeks), "Rick and Morty" doubles downward early (specially afterward "Lawnmower Dog") on only how pathetic Jerry is — something that has not changed in the subsequent seasons of the prove — and how that can snowball into something detrimental to his life and life of everyone effectually him. Plus, Rick invents his catchphrase in this episode: "Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub!"
9. "Morty'southward Mind Blowers" (Season 3, Episode viii)
It may seem difficult to believe, because the entirety of the series, just in that location are actually memories that have been deemed too traumatic for Morty to think. Those are "Morty's Mind Blowers." On the list of terrible things Rick has done to Morty, removing his nearly traumatic memories doesn't seem that bad. But as the episode quickly reveals, Rick's obviously non merely doing this out of the goodness of his eye. Similar Season 4's "Never Ricking Morty" (or to get back into the Harmon vault, "Community" Season 2'south "Paradigms of Human Memory"), "Morty's Mind Blowers" gets a lot of mileage out of the fake prune testify chemical element of these atrocious memories (and the memories of Rick looking like a fool). According to the episode'due south writers — six were credited, including Roiland and Harmon — they originally pitched "nearly a hundred" mind blowers, narrowed them downwardly and voted, and then wrote fifty-fifty more.

8. "Motorcar Erotic Assimilation" (Flavor 2, Episode three)
Information technology's a Rick and Morty and Summer adventure, every bit the trio ends up on a planet controlled past a hive entity known as Unity, Rick'due south ex. Rick dragging Unity down to his level goes from a fun (and nasty) party romp to a downright race state of war that Morty and Summer have to navigate, culminating in Unity abandoning the planet because it knows that it tin can't be with Rick, as much as it loves him. As Rick's self-centered, self-subversive nature has been an integral part of the serial since the airplane pilot, hither we come across firsthand how it can affect someone (or more specifically, something) that loves Rick romantically — and how that realization tin affect Rick.
7. "The Wedding Squanchers" (Season ii, Episode ten)
A lot well-nigh "Rick and Morty" shouldn't work, especially on an emotional level, when y'all consider how absurd it is. For example, the friendship between Rick and Birdperson. Or even the Birdperson and Tammy romance, considering how it was formed in Season 1's "Ricksy Business." And all the same the wedding toast Rick ultimately gives does work. Equally does Birdperson's (may he remainder in peace) stunned reaction to Tammy'southward betrayal on what should have been the happiest day of their lives. Ultimately, this is all a ways for Season 2 to cease with Rick sacrificing himself to the Galactic Federation to protect the family, though Beth simply thinks information technology'due south her father abandoning her once again. A dour ending to a bleak season of "Rick and Morty," with a major status quo change set for Season 3.
6. "Rixty Minutes" (Season i, Episode 8)
Don't mess with the original. While "Rick and Morty" has gone to the sequel well a couple of times when it comes to Interdimensional Cable, there'due south merely something about the original episode that stands a cut above the rest. Mayhap information technology'due south because of the "almost improvisational tone" that Roiland brings to his (and others') voice interim in this episode. But in addition to the Interdimensional Cable attribute, the episode besides features Morty revealing to Summertime the truth near his identity (due to the events of "Rick Potion #ix"), giving her the poignant, admitting nihilistic pick-me-up in the process: "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody is going to die… Come watch TV?"

5. "Full Rickall" (Season 2, Episode 4)
To quote Rick, "Expect at all these zany, wacky characters!" And in a series that introduces enough of zany, wacky characters on a weekly footing, that says a lot. Co-ordinate to "Rick and Morty" author Ryan Ridley, the episode was inspired by the introduction of Buffy Summers' younger sister, Dawn, in the fifth season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" — a graphic symbol who all the other characters believe to have been there the whole time, even though the audience knows that not to be the case at all. In its execution, the episode also channels the best of the worst of episodic television characters that the audience has never met before but are apparently lifelong all-time friends with the main characters. "Full Rickall" manifests basically a series' worth of episodic bit characters in the form of alien parasites and hilariously eviscerates every single one of them with a laser gun. But the most of import part of all of this is that the episode includes the grand introduction of everyone's favorite zany side character who's always been around: Mr. Poopybutthole, the Dawn Summers of "Rick and Morty."
4. "Rick Potion #9" (Season one, Episode 6)
Halfway through its first flavor, "Rick and Morty" completely changes how the audience should expect to picket it. A seemingly run of the mill episode well-nigh Morty using a honey potion leads to Rick and Morty having to abandon the Earth they — and the audience —know as theirs (due to the population becoming Cronenbergs), move on to a new, similar reality, kill the Rick and Morty from that Earth, bury their bodies in the backyard, and assume their identities. It's a dour ending to the episode, especially since it isn't treated as a one-and-done moment but instead something that, at the very to the lowest degree, affects Morty moving forward. It is especially daring for a new series, particularly ane that just debuted the catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!" in the previous episode.
3. "Lawnmower Dog" (Season 1, Episode 2)
The "Rick and Morty" pilot could exist a flake of a hard entry betoken into the serial, as information technology'due south about as much the opposite of a premise pilot equally ane tin can get, nigh in a Rick-esque attempt to keep the audience at arm's length from the jump. But those who stuck along for the cosmic ride were immediately treated for their patience with "Lawnmower Domestic dog." A strong (and, in some ways, more than importantly, inviting) 2d outing for the young series, revealing just how weirdly intricate the series could and would get, both in its Rick and Morty risk A-stories (an Inception meets Nightmare on Elm Street riff) and its B-stories with the family (in the eponymous Lawnmower Man riff with Snuffles/Snowball the dog).

2. "The Ricklantis Mixup" (Season 3, Episode seven)
In case y'all've forgotten the time that Rick and Morty took a imperial, life-changing trip to Atlantis, it's worth noting that this episode is as well known as "Tales from the Citadel." While our Rick and Morty spend fourth dimension in the lost urban center — offscreen — the series checks in on the Citadel of Ricks in the backwash of the death of the Council of Ricks. Not but is the Citadel thriving, only the story charts the duplicitous ascension of Evil Morty as he cons his style into becoming dictator of the Citadel, an human action that even so has major implications for the hereafter of all Ricks and Mortys every bit we know them. This is also arguably series co-creator (and vocalisation of both Rick and Morty) Justin Roiland'southward most impressive episode notwithstanding, as the well-nigh sole phonation role player of the episode. (Jeff B. Davis appears every bit Simple Rick's narrator and Sarah Chalke has a single line as young Beth, but every other voice in the episode is Roiland.)

1. "Pickle Rick" (Flavour three, Episode 3)
Like so many episodes of "Rick and Morty," "Pickle Rick" is an episode that, past all sane logic, shouldn't work at all. And notwithstanding, it's the episode that won the series its outset Emmy. The premise is simple: Rick gets into a pickle (by transforming himself into a pickle) and becomes the star of his very own hyper-violent activity film… all equally a means to avoid dealing with his fractured family unit in therapy. While Rick ultimately makes it to therapy to explain his self-centered worldview — at the tail-end of a session that pinpoints him every bit the root cause of his family unit'due south problems — that doesn't magically ready everything. In fact, things only become more fractured as a result of it, as it merely strengthens the father-daughter bond betwixt Rick and Beth, at everyone else's expense. Not bad for an episode virtually an anthropomorphic pickle.
