Why Rick and Morty's season 7 gags worried me.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although Rick and Morty season 7 was a lot of fun, I could see some of the problems that plagued other adult animated hits in the outing. Rick and Morty borrows inspiration from a lot of sources, but the show’s success is unique. Most earlier animated comedies followed entirely different routes to their cult classic status.
Rick and Morty Season 7 Borrowed From Two Classic Episodes “That’s Amorte” and “Rickfending Your Mort” Imitated Earlier Outings Close When Rick and Morty first began airing, it felt like every episode was more subversive than the last. I remember being blown away by the show’s verve and invention, the way that it played with tropes and subverted viewer expectations by flipping clichés on their heads.
It is understandable that Rick and Morty occasionally revisits crowd-pleasing joke formats. Rick and Morty’s season 7 Stephen King parody even borrowed from Bob’s Burgers, much like one season 6 episode riffed on an earlier outing of American Dad. These references, like the show revisiting its greatest hits, are all part of the comedy’s loose, freewheeling appeal.
Ultimately, Rick and Morty needs a new direction if the show is to avoid the fate of The Simpsons. The downfall of The Simpsons has been blamed on many factors, including the popularity of its competitors South Park and Family Guy, its excessive self-referentiality, and its repetitive storylines. These are all fair critiques, but I feel like they miss out on the overarching issue.
