2. Giant Sperm

Episode: “Rickdependence Spray”

The only reason this isn’t number one is because it’s more disturbing than goofy. Morty’s sperm almost taking over the world is disgusting. Seeing the sperm cells exploding after fighting Las Vegas performers is what made it goofy. That being said, there is no way that anyone will unsee the things in this episode. Especially the end where Morty’s last sperm went inside his sister’s giant egg. This leads to their inbred son named Naruto Smith floating in space.

This writer would like to apologize to anyone who blocked this out of their memory. Some things are better left forgotten. This may be one of them.

1. I’m a pickle!

Episode: “Pickle Rick”

And here we have it. The award-winning Rick and Morty episode “Pick Rick.” Rick turned himself into a pickle. Why? So he could avoid going to therapy with his family. Had he just joined them, he wouldn’t have suffered. He could have avoided being knocked into the sewer, forced to bite and lick a cockroach and attach rat parts to his body to survive. Although, viewers wouldn’t have gotten to see any of this.

This episode showed Rick’s genius perfectly. Without limbs or any technology, Rick created working arms and legs using the body of a dead cockroach. Sure, Tony Stark built his armor out of nothing and T’Challa has created some of the best weapons ever. But have they used a rat’s dead body and trash to create limbs? Has Reed Richards ever used a roach’s body like an instrument to make himself move? This writer thinks not.
