I miss the times when there wasn't a single moment of this show that was lame or a single joke that didn't land. Now there are many of those instances. In this episode alone, summer saying "let's lick tits" then immediately telling her parents they don't like it because they're "not getting any". After they say they watch porn together, she acts grossed out like they crossed the line, as if she wasn't the one who brought up her parents sex life in the first place. Just a gross, stupid line that shows the writing is going downhill fast. Another example is "I don't see how that's relevant, but we're white" then all the police show up. This has been done so many times it's actually become a cliché. I remember seeing almost that same joke on everybody hates chris over a decade ago, along with many other shows since then. Now it's found its way to a show that was supposed to be above all the clichés. A third example is morty escaping the virtual handcuff situation he's in at the end; he literally just slips out of it by pulling his arms and legs out. That was upsetting because I know at least one writer knew it was a lazy execution, and that the fans would catch it. There are plenty other examples. This show is just not what it used to be.
