The episode was pretty funny. “Pickle Rick” is a mild example of “L0l Randumz Xd” humor, because the reaction of literally every other character is that it’s underwhelming and unfunny. the rest of the episode has good jokes, references, super fluid action and gore.
Edit: I don’t want this on the front page while US-Iran stuff is going down.
I made the mistake of paying attention to the fandom of this show after I started watching it… the Szechuan sauce thing really made me reevaluate my enjoyment of the show.
Still watch it, still like it, but the enjoyment is much more muted now.
