Was I the only one who thought this was supposed to be a joke? Like how rick fancies himself being above it all but is brought to his emotional peak by something mundane.

>>91266828
honestly, I hated a lot of season 2, season 1 felt a lot more hedonistic and petty, while season 2 tried to shove some 'oh man he hurts inside he a human!' characterization down rick's throat

>>91267195
>always forgetting the post-credit scene where Rick desperately tries to get Unity back and gets cock blocked by Beta7.

>>91266930
How do you make a show meme style? Is it like how they made Samurai Jack?

Need I remind you idiots that #1 there is nothing that is stopping this episode from being an elaborate April Fools joke #2 a broadcast date and episode number does not mean shit, nor do production numbers, etc... If Harmon or Roiland came out and said the episode wasn't part of the continuity guess fucking what? It isn't part of the continuity. That is the power of the creator of a fictional narrative.

>>91267133
You retards realize there won't be a McDonalds promotion for the new Mulan for the same reasons there weren't any for the new Beaty & The Beast, or Jungle Book or Cinderella or Maleficent or Wreck It Ralph or whatever, right?

Because Disney decided that they don't want to associated with McDs image of fat poor kids, so they switched their fast food tie-in contracts to Subway, which is healthier by the slimmest of margins.

>>91267212
If episode 2 of this season just shows Rick waking up in a Shoneys I'm gonna be so happy

>>91267218
It doesn't matter. They could bring it back without the name Mulan on it and people would still be thrilled and they'd still get a huge sales boost.

>>91267212
>#1 there is nothing that is stopping this episode from being an elaborate April Fools joke
Except, y'know, animation is expensive, especially one like this premiere where the entire third act and most of the second is a symphony of cartoon violence. I think it's far more likely they decided to be punk rock about continuity than that they blew a good chunk of their budget on a fake-out episode.

>>91267241
Elaborating on your point, Anon. The serious moment of attempted suicide is rebuffed by Rick humiliating himself by showing how desperate he is to get Unity back further pointing out how Rick isn't above it all.

>>91267259
>Except, y'know, animation is expensive
I didn't say it wasn't an episode.
It doesn't matter. Whether it was or wasn't a joke the episode is still an episode.
Expense doesn't change that.

>>91267255
>Plus they already got the promotions out for the second episode so lick lick lick my balls
Show me, bitch.
I don't see so much as a fucking air date.

>>91267278
You're arguing it's an "April Fool's prank", i.e. that when the show "really" returns, they'll go "HAHA JK here's the REAL version of how Rick escapes" and then proceed to air a second, completely different episode that, what, validates your obsession with the show's DEEPEST LORE more?

I don't really get why you guys wanna buy this theory, but you're the one who said >>91267212
>there is nothing that is stopping this episode from being an elaborate April Fools joke

>>91267300
I don't understand what you point is any more, if you ever had one. You first actual defense, which you now seem to have dropped, was that it would mean they paid for an extra episode. It doesn't have to be an extra episode. They could have simple decided that one of the episodes would be an April Fools joke. Its no more of a stretch then the episodes where they just recorded improv and had them animated it, in fact it could have been done specifically to fill the void of a production number that they had no ideas for.

>>91267287

>>91267350

The closest thing I've found says the season has not actually started and that more episodes won't be coming for atleast months.
This was nothing more than a sneak peak because of all the bitching about how late the season is, and possibly an April Fools joke.

>>91267350

>>91267329
>You first actual defense, which you now seem to have dropped, was that it would mean they paid for an extra episode.
...No.

That wasn't my point at all you idiot.

My point is it would be a poor use of their budget to do a "joke" noncanonical episode that uses so much of their animation budget, as season premieres are wont to do. And even if they did, why choose to do it as an alternate version of a season premiere? You're obligated to either show us how Rick "really" escaped, or move forward acting as though it happened, but the episode depicting it is noncanonical now.

Why?

You still haven't explained why you think the premiere is noncanonical other than your taking its early airdate way too literally.

Occams razor: it's far more likely that AS went "Gee our last few April Fools things were nothing special, and people seem to be worried about all the delays of R&M, let's kill two birds with one stone and give them a surprise look at the first episode of season 3!"

than that the producers of R&M decided to spend a season premiere's budget on a fake-out season premiere specifically intended to air on April Fool's, which would only be funny months later when you find out "Haha fooled you, jk four month delayed April Fool's!", and then render that episode permanently pointless forevermore.

This isn't like Great Expectations or that Terrence & Phillip episode of SP, this shit actually tidies up most of the plot threads of season 2 and moves forward, and you wanna pretend it "doesn't count" just because it HYPOTHETICALLY POSSIBLY COULD MAYBE BE SHUT UP YOU DUNNO REEEE

When the episode opened with him talking about having escaped the prison already I took it at face value for about 2 seconds because of course they're not going to keep dramatic plotline going that long. The episode was a pleasant surprise from then on.

>>91267393
Adult Swim has premiered stuff on April 1st before too - The Room, Saved By The Bell, nobody went back and retroactively accused those of having been made specifically to troll [as]'s audience. The "April Fool's prank" of AS is usually airing a special surprise, unlisted, and/or just adding mustaches or farts or a laugh track over their regular programming. There's no reason whatsoever for Roiland & Harmon to make a special episode just to troll us all, and if that was their intent, they did a shitty job cuz 98% of people seemed to love it, the only ones butthurt are J/a/ck/offs who never saw the show before April 1st anyway, and a handful of autists going "NO NO IT'S A PRANK IT MUST BE NONCANONICAL NOT WITHOUT MUH JERRY!!!"

>>91267405
"Season premiere" in this context refers to the first episode of a season, just as "season finale" can still be used to describe the last episode of a season, even after it airs for the first time. But don't pretend you didn't know that.

>>91267454
Show me where Adult Swim specifically refers to this episode as the "season premiere".
And also, if you're going to be that, one may as well say it wasn't a season premiere but rather an "episode premiere", AS THE SEASON HAS NOT PREMIERED YET.

>>91267683
>a fundamentally unprovable hypothetical?
Its no more unlikely than being able to correctly call a coin flip and yet you are behaving as though there is no chance on the face of the Earth that it could have been an April Fools joke.
There is more than enough evidence to suggest its entirely possible. Adult Swim has been known to pull April Fools Day jokes every year, one year of note being the time they announced they would be airing the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie on tv before its release (which they did do, in indistinguishably compressed resolution in the corner of the screen), Adult Swim is often a platform for more unusual avant-garde programs, Rick & Morty is a show that almost certainly doesn't take itself seriously, we know they wouldn't have a problem spending an entire episode on an April Fools joke as they have spent two entire episodes on random one of improv bits and, once again, the season is not actually airing yet and there is no date for when it will begin airing. Your refusal to admit its possible makes you look like a child.

You see. Saying the sneak peak of the premiere, is not a premiere because the season is not airing. Is just as retarded as saying that's not the finale because the season is on re-runs.
Finale and premiere (in this context) are just titles we give to first and last episode.

>I purposely posted something retarded
Yeah, I know. You're still doing it. Look here

>Saying the sneak peak of the premiere, is not a premiere because the season is not airing.
I never said it wasn't a premiere. It was the premiere of a new episode. It was not a premiere of the season because, and I still cannot believe you haven't wrapped your head around this, the season isn't airing. As for your ramblings about a finale let me say this. Let's say there's a play, ok? The play has a finale to the story. The production of shows also has a finale, the last show they perform. The big musical number at the end has a finale of its own. Are you starting to understand yet?

I don't know you can't get your head around this. Especially when 3-4 people have told you how autistic you are.

We know this is the new Rick and morty.
We know last season he ended up in max security space prison.
We know the promo leading up to the episode was him being taken from his cell block to be interrogated.
We know this is how the episode starts.
We know this is a sneak peak of season 3.
Giving all that information, one could infer the episode in question is the first episode of season 3. Assuming you understand what premiere means, you would then be able to grasp the episode in question is a premiere episode of season 3. Making it the season premiere episode.
Your autistic ass can't separate a season premiere episode from a season start. You think one means other. They don't.

Nice one, bro

At the end of season 2 they wrote themselves into a corner, Dan Harmon acknowledged as such. This episode they figured out how to write their way out of it in an entertaining way.
