Rick and Morty (TV Series) Juricksic Mort (2022) User Reviews

Probably one of the best episode in years

[duziyusa · 9/10 · 10 October 2022]

This episode has an oldschool Rick and Morty vibe. It feels like I just started watching it back when it first released.

There finally is a some sort of overall story trough this season.

One thing is that it looked a lot like the planet music episode, which is probably my favorite episode ever. So I do not complain.

I cannot wait what is to unfold for the rest of the season, unfortunately there is a bit of a wait but overall this is way better than last two seasons! Rick and Morty is back. Show me what you got!

Hopefully some interdimensional cable this season.

Honorabel mention: Boob world.

Well, I thought it was great

[ericstevenson · 9/10 · 11 October 2022]

This episode features dinosaurs coming to Earth where it's revealed they left Earth to help other planets. I really do like the dinosaur characters. They are very pleasant people, or dinosaurs. I'm also glad that Rick didn't outright kill them. He wanted to find something wrong with them. There was, in that a meteor always followed the planets they were on, but it wasn't their fault.

I feel really bad about forgetting about this rift. I thought I was up with the show's continuity! Well, Rick himself explains we won't have to worry about that anymore. This really was a great way to stop half a season. This was a very unpredictable episode. I just thought it was all hilarious, maybe because dinosaurs are so awesome. ****

Bring the dinos back!

[aboalhyjaa · 9/10 · 10 October 2022]

If Arrival and Dont Lock Up movies has a son it would've been this episode!

Easily one of the best these last two seasons and very much relatable to our current society in a somewhat sick representation.

The only bad thing about this episode and the season as a whole is that im afraid the writers have ran out of ideas that they're just copying ideas from different movies/tv shows and are drifting away from the main idea of the show and it kinda feels like a good filler episodes.

"Selflessness and selfishness are two sides of the same coin" couldn't agree more with rick even though he wasted a chance in this episode that could've bring them back to the main storyline.

Hands down my favorite episode of the season so far

[zain_ahmed · 10/10 · 11 October 2022]

This is the kind of stuff that I personally expect from Rick and Morty. Everything is just total nonsense which makes it super funny. It was a very PG-18 episode which I like very much.

I really loved the dinosaurs names song. But it's not available on Spotify.

Just because Rick dorsal have portal gun, we tend to forget how smart and genius he is. That's very well displayed in this episode.

I love marvel movies and tv shows, so I really crack up whenever they refer to any of the marvel stuff in any episode. This episode has some of that too!

Sad they took a 6 weeks break. This has been an amazing season so far.

This is what comedy writing looks like!

[OnlyAtJMart · 9/10 · 10 October 2022]

I laughed probably 4 times in the first minute. After that I lost count. This episode is a glaring example of why this show is a perfect caricature on contemporary society. It's a shame there aren't more shows out there that are as consistently reliant for being hilarious as this show. This episode absolutely knocked it out of the park. From poking fun at those who misuse the word "projecting," to giving their theory behind those who virtue signal, even angrily throwing a rock at a vehicle but then run away after you see the reverse lights come on; I laughed throughout the whole episode. Not many pieces of entertainment can do that. I'm definitely going to remember this episode is one of my favorites!

I've never loved Rick and Morty more.

[vatsalbhutanixyz · 10/10 · 20 November 2022]

Damn this episode was great, maybe even perfect.

The philosophical subject that Rick and Morty mainly explores in numerous different forms and aspects, if condensed into one sentence, would be "The meaning of life".

The most prominent form of this philosophy explored in the show is the concept of limitlessness making things meaningless. That is what this episode nailed at exploring.

Rick Sanchez is practically immortal, he can do anything he wants whenever he wants. You could even call him a god as he himself does many times in the show.

But the thing is, he's not happy. Because when you can do everything, the value of any one particular thing is basically non existent. He has risen to a level of power and intelligence nobody has even reached. He's at the top of Mount Everest, but he is alone. His narcissism is a defence mechanism against his need for love, for meaning.

In this episode, three dinosaurs come to Earth and make it free of all "problems". There's no violence, no poverty, nothing to worry about. But that turns out to be just boring. When people are rid of all problems they find themselves with nothing to do.

It's not a complete prosperous society that we want, we want a society that is mostly prosperous but still has problems left for humans to deal with to keep us occupied and to stimulate our brains.

Rick has spent the whole season trying to fix his portal gun but when a functional and even better portal gun is just handed down to him without any struggle, he rejects it. This could be viewed as just Rick being insecure about his intelligence and while that could be part of it, I think it is deeper than that.

At the end of the episode he finally fixes his original portal gun and excitedly tells Morty how it's all gonna go back to the way it was with them having those good old Rick and Morty adventures. This indicates that what Rick values more than what comes of those adventures is what the adventure is really like. You could describe it as "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey". That is why he doesn't accept the portal gun given to him by the dinosaurs, because he wanted to go through the process of fixing his portal gun himself, however tedious it may seem, because he's already tired of having everything at his fingertips.

Rick also shares his desire for hosting the Oscars, which might seem unimportant to a man of his capabilities, but he himself makes it matter in his mind because he has to actively create value in things because if he doesn't, it's all meaningless again. It's like the Zima blue episode of the show "Love, death & Robots".

This season had a bad first episode, but after that it was just bullseye after bullseye. This season so far seems to be the most thought out and carefully crafted season with each episode focussing on a particular aspect of the "meaning of life" philosophy.

With Rick and Jerry's friendship in the fortune cookies episode, the the night people discovering the hardships of functioning during the day, and other concepts explored in episodes that I can't recall right now, this season is perfectly nailing Rick and Morty's philosophical side, while also balancing being funny at the same time.

Always the perfect mix of stupid and smart

[rbrewer43 · 8/10 · 25 November 2022]

99% of the time this show satisfies both the part of my brain that loves 3 Stooges slapstick and the part that loves Marx Brothers wordplay. This episode is no exception, giving us a god like benefactor and showing humanity as unable to accept a utopia. Every series has its ups and downs but here we are in season 6 and I haven't seen one episode of Rick and Morty I would rate lower than an 8. Even at it's lowest point the writers of this series keep to a standard I've rarely seen. No matter the situation they manage to stay true to the characters, allowing them to learn and grow without taking away their hilarious shortcomings.

"That's right, made me! I see that look on your FECES!"

[michelQDimples · 7/10 · 13 October 2022]

Not a typo. Just a Freudian slip I think Mr Goldenfold has missed his opportunity of saying, you know, him being fond of *wink wink*.

Rick & Morty has become my fav show over the seasons for this one reason alone: each episode it would challenge you with new ideas/concepts that, whether or not you agree with its conclusion, take you on a journey of self-realization through the "what if's".

This episode has great potentials. The idea of a world no longer bound by the sole purpose of survival..Would we find each of our real purpose or succumb to inertia and live our meaningless existence? Would we still thrive for higher plains of achievement, or would the elimination of all sorts of competition rob us of our creativity and inspiration? "Wall-E" and "Love, death & robots's Pop Squad" have addressed similar proposition. I was psyched half way watching this episode of R&M for some refreshing stances of their own. Sadly the ideas was never fully fleshed out, more glided over with a montage.

The side materials such as Jerry's book and the Oscar hosting could be real interesting too, but seem rushed to their conclusion as a mere bit.

However if you are looking for a classic R&M episode full of its brand humor and clever jabs, you would be more than content.

One of the best episodes

[seraphin01 · 10/10 · 4 November 2022]

This is one of the best episodes I've seen in a long time.

Actually the previous season and the start of this one didn't feel great, it was lacking something.

Something that is finally back in episode 5 and 6 (this one) finally laughing hard as Rick gets back to his old self, bring back comic bits that made this series great to begin with.

The story itself for this episode was good but the execution was great.

They way they closed up the story arc in a very un climatic way was just perfect, ballsy and perfect.

They could have dragged this whole thing more but they didn't and that's great Rick and morty content for me.

It was cynical, it was funny and it was what was missing from the show for too long.

Lots of pop culture references as well in this episode, but mostly good ones and well executed

Rick and morty for a thousand years!

Dino-Sores.

[southdavid · 7/10 · 13 October 2022]

Whilst perhaps not quite a strong as last weeks effort, "Juricksic Mort" maintains the level of consistency that season six has provided.

Dinosaurs return to the earth. They were not, in fact, entirely destroyed by the meteor strike, but developed interstellar travel and have been seeding life around the universe. They decide to take back over the planet and allow the humans to just chill out. The President (Keith David) tries to get Rick (Justin Roiland) to overthrow these benevolent oppressors but he's not interested, until he's offered the one thing he wants.

Again, we're not really interested in the A story B story format here. The nearest thing to a B story is Jerry's book about how to live without much agency, becoming the Dinosaurs guide to life, and him not receiving the credit for it. The rest of the family barely have lines in this one.

Imprisoned but happy vs. Free and miserable is perhaps the most common story that writers and grappling with in the 21st century and, despite it being a somewhat sillier version, that's the central debate here. Along with the idea of whether anything is a truly selfless act, if the outcome is to make yourselves feel better. Despite the odd nod to "Arrival" and "Westworld" I also liked that this one wasn't a movie parody.

But it wasn't as funny as shows have been for the last couple of weeks and it didn't quite have the level of storytelling invention that those episodes have. Not a dud or a miss, like the odd episode in previous seasons have been, but not the peak of this run.

Clever girl

[Trey_Trebuchet · 8/10 · 5 November 2022]

Another banger!

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I initially thought it wasn't going to even focus much on the more characters, but I'm glad I ended up being wrong.

Rick being the smartest person in the universe, and being simultaneously handicapped from portal jumping, has been really interesting to see. Him actively trying to figure out what was wrong with the dinosaurs, discovering it, receiving praise for it, and then getting helped when he didn't want it... just hilarious to me.

The ending for his own leaves a lot of potential for the rest of the season. The family being stuck together has been legitimately interesting and fun, but I'm glad we'll likely be getting actual Rick and Morty adventures again.

I do love this concept. Dinos coming back after several millennia and trying to help was cool, and that screaming meteorite was terrifying...

A poor episode

[dirvingman-62136 · 5/10 · 11 October 2022]

We seem to be in a phase of Rick And Morty that started with season 5, where most of the episodes have an interesting or funny idea at their core, but it's 50/50 on whether the writing can execute it well. This is one of those duds, which puts to score of successes vs duds in season 6 at an even 3-3 so far.

I see the ingredients for a good episode - dinosaurs return to Earth to save humanity, and there's something mysterious about them that Rick uncovers. There are some funny bits along the way but the plot is a mess, with character justifications making little to no sense, and more often than not the jokes fall flat. I've also noticed in the dud episodes this season that they are very padded out and this one is no different. The dinosaur story did not have the legs for a full episode on its own, perhaps there should have been a B-plot more than the meager "Jerry wrote a book" or "Rick hosts the Oscars" gags.

Not Funny Really

[jakep3 · 5/10 · 11 October 2022]

Like most of the rest of the season, it's kind of a funny concept but not funny. I used to get in at least a laugh or a chuckle in each and every episode. Now it's sort of just a thing I watch because it used to be funny. No actual laughs in this one, just a bunch of things happening.

Every character was in the episode - even the president! - but none were really doing anything substantial. Each one had like half a plot line.

I miss the days of funny Rick & Morty but I think maybe the show has jumped the shark. Still worth watching but honestly once evil Morty did his thing that was the end of caring about the canon, and the random episodes don't have the same punch.

Too many pop culture references

[fedarrt-13961 · 5/10 · 10 October 2022]

I like the fact that this is less dependent on gross humor than most episodes these days and that this one attempted a real storyline beyond just the fun concept. I laughed out loud a couple times, but the fact that 80% of the jokes here are self referential or pop cultures references is a little nauseating, and feels like the writers have gotten really lazy. Most of the jokes here certainly pale in comparison to the first 3 seasons, and in general Season 6 might be worse than S5 for me so far. There are no awful lows like last season but also no true highlights beyond E1. I still like what they tried to do with this episode overall, and the last scene in the garage with Rick and Morty bumps this up a star for me.

Not bad..but not funny

[garabedian123 · 5/10 · 11 October 2022]

This episode was interesting. It had lots of good ideas but never followed through with the comedy aspect.

So much seemed to be missing. If an alien race took over the planet and let us be on vacation 24/7, why does that mean that all technology, all tv shows, games and movies stopped being produced? If people can do anything they want why does no one decide to create art.

It doesnt make a a whole lot of sense. Which would have been fine if it had lots of funny jokes. I wouldnt care. But its not funny at all. Oh wait i did chuckle once slightly.

The rocks/dinosaur thing was a direct rip off of futurama., except it wasnt funny at all here. Which is a shame.

Very surprised about the public rating???

[gabrielmar-82189 · 2/10 · 10 October 2022]

This episode is very poorly written with no good jokes, the story doesnt make any sense and it is annoying that this season was going on good notes and then they drop this. I dont get it they also do it in season 5 with the sperm episode. The jerry plot line was not funny, morty and summer had nothing to do. The dinasaurs were just their and it felt awkvard, with no real payoff. They try to play it off smart but in the end it just comes out empty. Why do these poor episode come in between with terrible writing on par eith family guys worst episodes. I dont get it, hopefully its just a blip in this season.

Still Not Funny

[MogwaiMovieReviews · 4/10 · 11 October 2022]

Rick and Morty used to be the funniest and smartest thing on TV, at least for the first four seasons, but the past couple of years have seen the quality nosedive and end up with a 'good' episode being like this, with nothing overtly terrible happening in it, but nothing memorable or laugh-out-loud funny either.

I still don't know if the reason for the drop in quality is due to new, incompetent staff writers who don't get the show's ideas and humour being drafted in, or whether Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have just lost interest and stretched themselves too thin with other projects.

A small example of the detail and consistency lost with these changes: in this episode, Rick's iconic portal gun, an integral part of the show's lore, which in previous seasons has been depicted as something entirely unique to his genius, that aliens from far-flung galaxies have done everything in their power to try acquire... here, some dinosaurs from the past that turn up for just the one episode have a better one, which they offer to Rick telling him they can somehow tell he's having problems with his own.

The people now writing the show are not smart enough to come up with a plausible reason why the dinosaurs a) know Rick's gun isn't working, and b) can make one themselves and treat it like it's no big deal. Or even ever use it again in the episode. It's introduced, dealt with and forgotten in literally 30 seconds, all for some attempt at a joke that doesn't land.

This destroys any weight of meaning to the previous seasons of the show in the same way that the equally awful writers of the Loki TV show destroyed all value of the infinity stones that linked the Marvel movies together by showing their show's characters having drawers full of them as a joke. Stuff like this is the kind of lazy, blinkered, shortsighted and tone-deaf writing that is continually ruining this once magnificent show.

Well that was certainly an episode.

[wesleyvanauken · 3/10 · 1 February 2023]

A giant wet fart of an episode. There weren't any funny jokes and the whole thing was insulting to watch. So people are mad that they have a utopia because... they're a Jerry now? It doesn't even make any sense. Jerry isn't Jerry because he's bored. I can understand Rick being upset with this but why on earth would anyone else do anything but celebrate? If there was a reason, it wasn't well explored. This is the kind of thing you stick between two filler episodes to fill time between filler episodes. What a waste of talent it was having the animators create this garbage just to keep the worthless writers in a job.

Head-in-ass defense of their own laziness and narcissism

[anoverratedseries · 1/10 · 31 December 2022]

The writers have lost it. They spend twenty minutes jerking themselves off and seeking absolution for being in love with themselves for working on a show they think deserves to spread judgmental and juvenile negativity. Script reads like a mediocre libertarian who never emotionally matured saw other people having positive impacts and said "I'm too selfish to do that and that makes me feel bad about myself. I'm not enough of an adult to emotionally deal with this epiphany productively, so let's try to guilt and drag anyone who isn't so I can maintain my superiority complex." It's barely cohesive, mean-spirited, try hard, and not funny.

The episode makes them look like the out-of-touch types they mock with their attempts at firmly placing themselves as the ones with a moral message when it's clear they only want to justify their own ignorance to an audience and shame those who might call that out. Their lack of fears of cancellation have seemingly made them privileged jerks bitter at their episode count left, so they enjoy punching down more to deal with it.

While some show writers don't seem to be as oblivious to their own butthurt, the series has become a chore to watch due to the massive amounts of crap they throw in that they should instead seek therapy for before subjecting viewers to such cruel and toxic condescensions. Basically the same feeling as the "we didn't listen!" South Park global warming episode that confirmed you shouldn't watch the show anymore because its writers firmly had their heads in their own asses.

Standing on a soapbox and mocking the socially conscious to end up with messages that would make Republicans laugh because you can't stop yourself from being a narcissist says more about a writer than anything they try to comment on. Realizing this guy has a photo of himself as his cover photo on Twitter helps it make more sense.
