    Funniest episode ever!!!

    This has got to be the best episode of Rick and Morty, and one of the funniest episode of an animated show ever. The concept of flashbacks adapted in this episode is brilliant and absolutely genius. Right from the moment the episode starts, it doesn't fail to amuse even for a moment. I've watched it over and over again, and every time I find new interesting side characters who are as good as the main characters in the show. I can re-watch this a thousand times, and still laugh because the humor isn't exhaustive but rather very conceptual. With episodes like these, which combine sci-fi with extremely absurd hilarity, in a manner that is both unique and effective, Rick and Morty has proved itself to be an animation of its own kind.

    One of the Best

    Amazing episode, one of the best in the series. While maintaining a simple theme, they do an amazing job of keeping it fun and interesting the entire episode.

    Perfection.

    This may be the greatest and funniest episode of an animated show I have ever witnessed.

    By the time I watched it, R&M was just another cartoon from Adult Swim and I didn't think much of it, but by the end I simply could not stop thinking about it and had to go find some answers. That lead to me Reddit posts and YouTube videos on theories and eastern eggs.

    When I read a comment about someone explaining a super complicated theory for a character called "Mr. Poopy Butthole" with a straight face I knew I had found something special.

    Original and totally awesome !

    This episode was hands down one of the best episodes they've done so far. I mean just look at how original the episode was and lol how the first scene is first like getting you ''What the heck is this?'' and then Rick comes in does his thing but in the end always trust Rick.

    This is how a Rick & Morty episode should be and what it's all about.

    We have the totally insane lines and the most ridiculous characters. And the way the story always end up in a even more weird way. This is why we need more fresh blood into the comedy pool. I mean this is what Family Guy, South Park etc. should be like but got lost in all their messages and how accurate the episodes must be with today's time and all.

    No I love I started watching this show that is intelligent and super hilarious. Anyone with sick and twisted humor needs to watch this show.

    Parasitism

    One of the best episodes that was both fun and rewarding. It was a very interesting subject. The last scenes were great.

    • Trivia
      The episode revolves around Rick and Morty trying to determine which of their friends are real and who's a parasite, leading to paranoia until they devise a crude test. This is similar to the plot from the 1982 film The Thing (1982). Keith David, who appears in this episode as Reverse Giraffe, played Childs in "The Thing".
    • Goofs
      After Rick shoots "Uncle Steve," the largest pink blood splatter (on the wall and horse picture) disappears and reappears twice.
