Night Family

This episode was sure original. If anything it reminded me of "Rick and morty" combined with the movie "us". There were gags that had me laughing harder than I have in all of season 5 of Rick and morty, in fact this episode feels like an episode that would have been released in seasons 1-3. This episode has so far been my favourite yet of the ones released in season 6, and I hope to see more like it. This episode is about Rick who buys an invention where he can make himself do stuff while sleeping, and later gets the whole smith family invested. Justin Rolland and Dan Harmon make the episode work phenomenally with their creative imaginations.

This episode is clever, atmospheric, and just downright hilarious. Sure I got a kick out of Summer's die hard, and some of the jokes in the first episode of this season. But this is the first truly laugh out loud episode. I'll admit it's mostly visually funny. The "gasoline factory" and "firework museum" had me laughing my ass off, the truck of adderalls crashing was hilarious, and don't even get me started on the smart car scene! There are also a ton of other funny visual gags. Not to mention the whole concept of the night people revolting, while predictable, isn't really a concept R&M have fleshed out before. We're now seeing the full consequences of the season 5 finale in action.

This is an example of a Rick and Morty episode being good without being a parody of something else. I would go as far as saying this is the best episode of the season, and one of the best episodes of the whole show.

Wow really felt like a First 3 Season Episode Again! More of this please! Real (Old R & M) Personalities with believable dialogues! No more out-of-character-random-stuff-saying cartoon characters! R & M was a lot more! Since they were given 70 episodes, the story has been poor - character wise and story wise etc. Few good episodes here and there (hopefully this isn't one of those - and continuity happens with characters). Justin & Dan - Care about rick and morty again! It's not about money! R & M could have gone down in history - but season 4 & 5 wasn't it - Adults are your main focus right - no more fever dreams please! Give Me Old Rick and Morty Back!!!

This episode features Rick creating dream selves where we can do things in our sleep we can't do during the day. I admit it doesn't make much sense. During their waking hours, wouldn't they be tired from all they did during the night? Anyway, this was still quite interesting with a great premise. It was almost like an inverted "Russian Sleep Experiment". It was hard to tell what was going on.

The previews for these episodes seem to keep getting longer. I'm surprised how short this episode was. It was a minute shorter, but that was probably part of the joke with how the credits were done. The best part was the car chase. It seemed like Rick did get his just desserts at one point. Well yeah, they weren't literally desserts. ***1/2.

This episode really gives me hope for the rest of the season. As usual the season premiere was great, and then after that there was a bit of a decline. I liked the A plot of the second episode, but the Die Hard plotline just didn't do it for me. The third episode had some funny moments, but there wasn't a very strong story to support it. Usually, Rick and Morty gives clever sci-fi stories, and I felt the third episode to be lacking in that. This episode, however, was (in my opinion) the funniest of the season so far, and the best conceptually. The tone was fresh and nearly all the jokes landed. If the season is able to keep up this quality, I think it would rank up there with the first 3 seasons.
