Rick and Morty (TV Series) Raising Gazorpazorp (2014) User Reviews

Rear end.

[southdavid · 7/10 · 13 May 2020]

A little step down in quality again this week, only a minor step but still. This ones not quite as witty as some of the previous ones.

Morty (Justin Roiland) returns from a trip with a sex robot that he immediately puts to good use. Unfortunately, the robot is more practical than either he, or Rick (Justin Roiland) could have foreseen and within a short period births an alien hybrid that Morty names Morty Junior. Eager to investigate more, Rick takes Summer (Spencer Grammar) on an adventure where they discover that the robot came from a civilisation where the females have evolved to an idyllic society whilst the men battle for dominance on the planet surface.

I think, perhaps, this is one that's a little too earnest for its own good. Morty's parenting is constantly judged by his parents and is not quite as funny as it could be. Perhaps as it's a lot of setup for the footloose parody, which I didn't find that funny - and the tell-all book, which to be fair, I did. The female centric society isn't that well observed either, and we're back to an older model for Rick where he's constantly burping and farting.

I don't want this review to come off like I didn't like the episode. It's another brilliant one - but I find I'm having to write reviews to say why it's not as good as others, rather than praising it in its own right.

Hilarious and thought-provoking

This episode portrays a marvellous absurd caricature of genders & talks a whole lot about education and influences to the young - and makes a wonderful satire of it

The first Rick and Summer adventure

[petrow-31308 · 10/10 · 14 September 2017]

The first Rick and Summer adventure, and this is considered to be the "second worst" episode? OK then. Beside showing the standards of the series for being the second lowest rated part with an 8,2 average, I can't help the feeling that this one was downvoted for the seemingly misogynist jokes. However, as with nearly every episodes, this one also touches serious issues under the surface. Gender roles, teen pregnancy, taking the responsibility and what role model you give for your kids, and that men and women are equally needed to form a healthy society. Beside, the episode is full of with hilarious moments, as usual, and you can bear witness to the very first Summer+Rick adventure throughout the series.

Another masterpiece.

[TheFirst01 · 10/10 · 3 June 2020]

I'm honestly impressed with this show. 7 episodes in the first season and 3 masterpieces so far. Don't know how this episode is so low rated in this season's terms. This episode was the first adventure in the new alternate reality Rick and Morty have inhabited. The result is a stupendous side mission that revolves around Summer and Rick and I couldn't have asked for a better adventure. The discussion of men and women that the episode argues about where in the gazorpazorp world, women have more privileges than men was done in a hilarious and smart way since the plot is resoved where Summer convinces the female leaders that men in their world created the beautiful top that the female leaders pointed out. The discussion on violence is done great as well where Morty tries to convince his son to not go about his natural way of doing violence and killing and he does. Morty jr decides to fulfill his satisfaction of killing and his fate is shown in the after credits scene. It shows Morty jr has become successful by writing a book, but the reason he becomes succesful is hilarious. The plot twist is that the title of the book is called "My horrible father", and signals problems for Morty or is a plotline that will never happen but was hilarious anyways.

I came here for one reason

Hit the Nail on the Head

What would the worst crime be a female could commit in a female ruled society?

Bad Bangs.

This is my favorite episode of the series. The commentary about genders and parenthood is too on point. Morty trying to force the kid into being someone he wasn't, and then connecting more with his parents afterwards, was a gut punch. Summer and Rick pairing off led to hilarious interactions. Really just well done all around.

Boo! I hate you, Rick, and I hate Gazorpazorp. It's Gender Stereotypes: The Planet!

[adampkalb · 1/10 · 20 March 2018]

This episode is horrible in almost every single way. It does the straw feminist utopia plot from KND's FUTURE all wrong! It's supposed to be okay that Morty lies to Morty Junior about the air being poison because all male Gazorpians are destructive beasts. Rick is even worse because he shames Summer for being a girl when male Gazorpians almost rape her. Female Gazorpians are only a little better. They're just women stereotypes because Gazorpazorp is a horrible planet of sexist stereotypes. The episode tries to give us social commentary of gender inequality on Earth at one point, but it fails to go anywhere.

Rick and Morty needs to make better episodes after Rick Potion #9 and it's off to a terrible start here. After that previous episode where Morty's love potion made everyone but his family try to rape him, THIS episode starts with Morty having a Gazorpian baby with a sex robot. The female Gazorpians give silent treatment to women who wear bad bangs because female stereotypes, but they sentence Rick to death by boulder for farting in public like they never do that themselves. Summer's attempt to save Rick and make the Gazorpians realize they're hypocrites for liking her top made by a guy only tells me that gender separation, like Gazorpazorp does, is only okay when you follow every gender stereotype just to make one infinitely better than the other by comparison only.

I have no doubt in my mind that this is the 3rd worst episode of Rick and Morty, and Vindicators 3 is the 2nd worst while Rick Potion #9 is the 1st worst, and that's just 1/10 of all Rick and Morty episodes excluding the pilot. Can we please get longer, sooner Rick and Morty seasons when they get writers who know what they're doing so they can do the right thing? This episode tries to be insightful and entertaining, but it fails to do anything for me and it's only somewhat funnier than Rick Potion #9 and Vindicators 3. This episode really ruins Rick's character more than Ricksy Business ever did, yet I still agree with his opinion about epiphanies of gender politics at the end because Summer was almost as much of a jerk, playing into female stereotypes just so the female Gazorpians would like her.

Do you know what the saddest part about this episode is? It's that men wrote it. Men who are so insecure about themselves that they think it's right to make women superior to the point of seeing farts as a deathly offense. I don't want to see another Rick and Summer adventure until Something Ricked This Way Comes. Why do you give Rick and Morty more praise than it deserves, even for the bad things that it does when you hated how Family Guy made the exact same mistakes as Rick Potion #9 in Seahorse Seashell Party?
