    The dragon episode in season 5 was by far the worst episode in Rick and Morty, I agree it’s really overdone lately.

    Sex jokes can be funny but it’s also an easy crutch, the funniest parts of Rick and Morty were always absurdist and existential, I wish they would go back to that instead of making easy jokes all the time, it feels like the writers have been watching too much family guy…

      Rick and Morty’s trajectory is such a bummer. The first couple seasons are just phenomenal. They do this perfect dance down the line of obscene sophomoric humor juxtaposed against real character drama and real life issues. It’s what made the humor work, because they treated serious underlying topics with a vulgar absurdist lens.

      But it’s like they forgot that the magic was that balance, and instead assumed that saying fuck and cum and shit a lot is funny on it’s own, which it really isn’t most of the time.
