    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.

    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.

    The ULTIMATE clip show episode!

    Ever since the Community clip show episode, we've all known that Dan Harmon is a genius at the format, but this took it to a whole new level. For those who don't know, a "clip-show" is a television episode that involves a lot of flash-backs. They use this when budget is low and they need to fill an episode. What better way to fill runtime than show us what we've seen before? One such example is the finale of season 2 of Star Trek the Next Generation. These episodes are often crap. Dan Harmon's genius is using the format but showing us things we hadn't seen before. We saw this in Community, where he confuses us by making us think we are going to see a flashback, but then showing us an adventure we hadn't seen before, leading to the inevitable moment when you think "Wait, I have no memory of this. What is going on?". That was the running joke in that Community episode, but this time, he uses that feeling to construct a clever premise that hinges on a brilliant new alien race on par with the weeping angels from Doctor Who.

    Parasitism

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

    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.

    Storyline

    Edit
    • 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".
