The Last Temptation of Jerry

The writers did a bad rehash of older episodes, and depended too much on character stereotypes to carry the episode. It was all snarky interactions between the family with no story.

The A plot: Jerry is an idiot, his family doesn't respect him, Rick & Morty must bail him out.

The B plot: Summer is a party girl. Send her to Spring break (that was the big laugh)

They then added a trope about Easter is a fake holiday that was started by two warring alien groups. You will groan when you see them.

I like irreverent humor, but this was bad. 'Story Train' was amusing because they demonstrated how introducing bible stories drains the life out of a show.

------------------------------------------- The poor quality of this episode is surprising since the R&M comics have so much new material to offer the writers. This looks like the writers are running out of ideas.

This season is not looking bright. I love Rick and Morty I've watched the previous seasons 7 times already but i absolutely hate this season especially this episode. This episode has lazy writing and throwing jokes like family guy hoping to land at least one but missing all, no unique classic rick and morty character designs feels like I'll just forget this episode even exists by the time I sleep Rick and Morty is not Family Guy it doesn't fit in. Other people have Friends, HIMYM, Big bang theory as thei comfort show mine was Rick and Morty and if they keep throwing episodes like this no one will even remember how Rick and Morty was one of the greatest animated AS series.

So it seems most people didnt like this episode but it seems to be one of those unhinged episodes that's weirdly funny in how absurd it is. Not like incest baby insane but not like average episode normal insane. Somewhere in between.

The first time I saw it I genuinely did laugh, and that's gotta be worth something. The absurd nature of it is pretty hilarious.

Don't get me wrong some of the humor is hamfisted and feels forced in some lines or feels overly meta, but overall I'd say it's a funny episode, absurd, insane, pointing out the pointlessness of holidays and generally fun for the whole family there's absolutely nothing adult about this episode at all. In fact I'd say it's one of the best to watch WITH your family.

So go and get your grand parents and parents and brothers and sisters and dogs but not cats and enjoy!

I find many of the more recent episodes to often rely too much on rapid-firing your screen with absurd visuals that, while sometimes funny, feels a bit like you're getting force-fed a vision of the creators for how rick and morty should be a witty, confusing, and innovative show.

This particular episode is a prime example of that. Narrative tropes that are certainly original, but not in a particularly interesting or even entertaining way.

I'm giving this episode a 6 because one of the reasons i watch the show is to chuckle at something absurd for a good 20 minutes after a long week, and i did chuckle a good couple times.

Still, more narratively disjointed and needlessly provocative episodes like this one are not something that the crew seems to excel at.

I found this to be a very funny episode, better than a lot of other ones that revolve around sex, and it actually had funny jokes aside from that. There is probably going to be reviews saying how this is a new low for the show, as people have been saying on every second episode, or how they loved all the previous seasons, but this one is creatively bankrupt. At least the first 2/3/4/5/6/7 seasons were good before this insane drop in quality starting with episode one. It's getting a bit annoying ngl, this season is great in my opinion, and an improvement over the last few. The first episode is extremely funny, and episode 3 is awesome,too. There's plenty of season one episodes people would hate if they came out later and vice versa, why not just enjoy the show?
