yeah, I'm on team "eh, this whole 'irony' is pretty much dead nowadays", so I can't really enjoy these episodes that much so far.
However, it seems not quite so random for them to bring back MPB like that. Considering he's implied to be a professor in "how not to be a huge asshole", so you know, hopefully there's something coming up on that end.
Is making avatars considered spoilers at this point, btw? Because that King Of Shit moment is worthwhile on that end.

Funny episode but my least favourite so far. Last week's was one of my favourites of the series.
It feels like Harmon caught one of the oceans movie on TV or Netflix and just wanted to vent
While I really liked episode 1 and 2 the third one was just a really boring overdone joke after a few minutes.
Did absolutely nothing for me - well at least we got a meme out of it that will hopefully not stay around very long.
I really hope they go absolutely crazy again in the next episodes.

I didnt mind the episode but honestly im not a fan of the plots where rick seems to be a million times ahead of the curve and once it starts rolling, you know it's gonna be nothing but the writers patting themselves on the back for the rest of the episode. Its kind of funny how Rick's main criticism of heist movies is easily translatable to episodes like "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!" or "The Rickshank Rickdemption" or "Vindicators" or "The Rickchurian Mortydate". Most of these episodes center around Rick just knowing that his opponent accounted for something and retaliating in return. The first time they did it, it worked. It's been getting less and less successful as it's gone on. This is probably the tipping point.
I'm also kind of just tired of Rick acting like he has no actual interest in doing adventures with Morty and seems to be doing things entirely out of spite. The reveal at the end where he reveals this was a set up so Morty didn't finish his pitch was flat when you consider the amount of times that they've been on a mission to get something only for it to never be revealed what they were even doing in the first place.
At least the animators are putting the legwork in to make it visually interesting... the best episode in this season so far was directed by a storyboard artist and you could tell because that one actually had some stakes that would matter to Rick even if death is completely meaningless to him.
Also that Elon Musk cameo was just... bleh? Reminds me of a post-season 10 Simpsons episode where they just get a celebrity to rotate the episode around. It's not quite that bad- but boy does it get close.

By the way, Community's Conspiracy 101 is a way better executed version of this because it's not the ending scene the entire damn episode. I feel like whenever Harmon gets behind the wheel to rag on a genre he doesn't like, he forgets it needs to be an actual story and not something Rick can just insert himself into to be Dan's mouthpiece while doing it so lazily that there's nothing more than a beginning or end to the fake parody story. Committing to it for even a minute helped land the end scene of Conspiracy 101 so much better in my opinion.
I dunno, maybe I'm growing disillusioned with this show's writing in general because of what I know of the show's creators. I'd like that to not be the case because there are a lot of cooler people working on the show that don't show up on PewDiePie's Meme Review with Elon Musk or contract JonTron to do a unfunny skit commercial for their VR game.
I'm almost expecting the next episode is just Rick rolling his eyes about Morty getting a pet dragon for the entire episode... yeah, what a fun watch, Dan Harmon. Maybe consider giving that story circle a second look.
I would hardly consider what he did in this episode "shit on himself"- honestly you could spin him being a "control freak" as him caring too much. That's like, the only thing they even remotely come close to in terms of "shitting on". It's an exceptionally lazy cameo for an episode that's all about poking fun at a movie genre Dan and Justin hate with a passion. Actually, hrm. Aren't Dan and Justin good friends with Elon? Oh yeah, they are. And yet, out of all the stuff you could make fun of Elon for, they just picked him being a somewhat passive control freak. Not for calling a submarine diver a pedophile, not union-busting (a thing Justin apparently has in common with him), and especially not getting sued by the FEC for lying for stock values. There are so many things you could make into a quick quip by Rick, but hey, Elon Tusk, everybody! The tusks are the joke.

Seriously though nothing they said was particularly harsh just him being a bit awkward and being a bit of a control freak
You son of a bitch, I'm in.
One of my favorite episodes in the entire series. The multiple twists and one-upmanship reminded me of this...
... and every Halloween Heist episode of Brooklyn 99 but taken to the extreme.

One of my favorite episodes actually, like this concept and how they executed it in the most absurd way possible, surprised a bit at lukewarm reception for this episode and season in general, maybe i am not looking at right places but there doesn't seem to be a lot of enthusiasm this season , as opposed to season 3 premier , but that continued from season 2 cliffhanger tbh but even then the season at a whole
La casa de papel - I think its called that- is a really big deal nowadays so I thought it directly made fun of that, its on Netflix and everything and the episode ended with a Netflix joke
Funny episode! Feels like the show is somewhat free of expectations now that there are so many episodes coming so they can just have fun with it. Doesn't feel as heavy as season 3 did.
Really enjoyed this one. Somehow I can appreciate it when they push a certain gimmick/idea way too far.
The little moment when it's revealed that Morty wanted to say goodbye to the crew got me. That and the implied two chairs backstory.
I felt the same with the post-credit scene, like something might come from the morty reaction and MPB interaction.
It was a weak episode for me. I'm honestly wishing we get some hints on what's going on with the citadel, and the theories about the original morty and that stuff.
We're an episode behind in the UK so I just watched E2 a few days ago. Eh, it was okay. I would have liked Rick's relationship/similarity to that alien explored more, and excise the story of Morty/Jerry or Beth/Summer. The first episode was pretty decent though.
Finally got around to E3...I actually enjoyed it, a lot. The part where Heistotron heisted the first planet was hilarious. Checking the water pressure, delivering the pizza etc. got me.
Didn't care for the Netflix stuff, but the ending of the episode was very ominous.

I wish this wasn't ever a thing. My holiday weekend is wide open, thanks.
Yea and the two best shows on the air right now (Mr. Robot and Watchmen) are humming along with excellent episodes, back to back.
I was just about to sit down to those, as a matter of fact! Glad they didn't skip a week.
Agreed, it was terrible. Can't remember ever feeling like I had to struggle to get through an episode with this show before. This season has been pretty mediocre. Maybe Harmon has a season 4 curse.
